NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts presented at and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 are unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations

 

Skyline Medical Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 2002. Effective August 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Skyline Medical Inc. As of March 31, 2017, the registrant had 6,489,428 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, outstanding, adjusted for a 1-for-25 reverse stock split effective October 27, 2016. In this Report, all numbers of shares and per share amounts, as appropriate, have been stated to reflect the reverse stock split. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective December 16, 2013, the Company merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the same name that was its wholly-owned subsidiary, with such Delaware corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. The Company has developed an environmentally safe system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care. The Company also makes ongoing sales of our proprietary cleaning fluid and filters to users of our systems. In April 2009, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to authorize the Company to market and sell its STREAMWAY® SYSTEM products.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and had a stockholders’ deficit until August 31, 2015 whereupon the Company closed its public offering of units consisting of common stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants (the “Units”). There remains though, substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  

Since inception to March 31, 2017, the Company raised approximately $27,765,934 in equity, inclusive of $2,055,000 from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $13,555,003 from the public offering of Units completed in 2015, $1,739,770 from a registered direct offering completed in 2016, $3,421,188 from the public offering of Units completed in the first quarter of 2017, $358,312 from the underwriter exercising their option to purchase up to 175,000 additional shares of common stock and to acquire additional warrants to purchase up to 35,000 additional shares of common stock, and $5,685,000 in debt financing. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

 

Recent Accounting Developments

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and created a new topic in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), Topic 606, and has since amended the standard with ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.”. These new standards provide a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework for all entities and supersede nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and also requires enhanced disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The FASB allows two adoption methods under ASC 606. We currently plan to adopt the standard using the “modified retrospective method.” Under that method, we will apply the rules to all contracts existing as of January 1, 2018, recognizing in the beginning retained earnings an adjustment for the cumulative effect of the change and providing additional disclosure comparing results to previous accounting standards. Upon initial evaluation, we believe the requirements of this standard will not result in a significant change to our results.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" providing explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in this Update are effective.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We implemented in the first quarter of 2017.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts, rather than as an asset. Amortization of these costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective.

 

8
 

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, requiring that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU is effective within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This ASU is implemented.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” providing guidance on the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the Balance Sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is implemented.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). The standard changes how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. Under the new guidance, entities will be required to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicability exception. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The standard states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of our adoption and the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies 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 standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of our adoption and the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statements.

 

During August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statements of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If retrospective application is impractical for some of the issues addressed by the update, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

We reviewed all other significant newly issued accounting pronouncements and determined they are either not applicable to our business or that no material effect is expected on our financial position and results of our operations.

 

Valuation of Intangible Assets

 

We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350 — Intangibles —Goodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management’s best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made.

 

Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

9
 

 

Presentation of Taxes Collected from Customers

 

Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the taxes collected and remitted from revenues and expenses.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of goods sold on the statement of operations.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $4,271 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and were $3,996 in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses were $84,472 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $122,161 in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605-Revenue Recognition.

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. The Company’s standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and the Company will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of the STREAMWAY SYSTEM units as well as shipments of filters and fluids. When these conditions are satisfied, the Company recognizes gross product revenue, which is the price it charges generally to its customers for a particular product. Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer. The customer’s right of return is limited only to the Company’s standard one-year warranty whereby the Company replaces or repairs, at its option, and it would be rare that the STREAMWAY SYSTEM unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution or filters may be returned. Additionally, since the Company buys the STREAMWAY SYSTEM units, cleaning solution and filters from “turnkey” suppliers, the Company would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

 

Certificates of Deposit

 

Short-term interest bearing investments are those with maturities of less than one year but greater than three months when purchased. Certificates with maturity dates beyond one year are classified as noncurrent assets. These investments are readily convertible to cash and are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

 

Investment Securities

 

Readily marketable investments in debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains are charged to earnings when an incline in fair value above the cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains and losses on dispositions are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific identification method.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Under generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

10
 

 

The Company uses observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation.

 

The fair value of the Company’s investment securities were determined based on Level 1 inputs.

 

Receivables

 

Receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation based on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts, changes to the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory balances are as follows:

 

   March 31,
2017
  December 31,
2016
       
Finished goods  $28,003   $38,201 
Raw materials   159,972    165,812 
Work-In-Process   61,211    68,195 
Total  $249,186   $272,208 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful asset life by classification is as follows:

 

   Years
Computers and office equipment  3 -7
Leasehold improvements   5 
Manufacturing tooling  3-7
Demo Equipment   3 

 

The Company’s investment in Fixed Assets consists of the following:

 

   March 31,
2017
  December 31,
2016
Computers and office equipment  $176,360   $164,318 
Leasehold improvements   25,635    25,635 
Manufacturing tooling   103,204    103,204 
Demo Equipment   38,092    23,236 
Total   343,291    316,393 
Less: Accumulated depreciation   230,582    214,897 
Total Fixed Assets, Net  $112,709   $101,496 

 

Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Depreciation expense was $15,685 in the three months ended March 31, 2017, and was $19,207 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of trademarks and patent costs. Amortization expense was $2,888 in the three months ended March 31, 2017, and was $1,832 in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The assets are reviewed for impairment annually, and impairment losses, if any, are charged to operations when identified.

 

11
 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740- Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

There is no income tax provision in the accompanying statements of operations due to the cumulative operating losses that indicate a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets and state income taxes is appropriate.

 

The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified no income tax uncertainties.

 

Tax years subsequent to 2013 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which requires companies to recognize additional tax benefits or expenses related to the vesting or settlement of employee share based awards as income tax provision or benefit in the income statement in the reporting period in which they occur. In addition, ASU 2016-09 requires that all tax related cash flows resulting from share-based payments, including the excess tax benefits related to settlement of stock-based awards, be classified as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company did not elect to early adopt ASU 2016-09, but rather is adopting the guidance in the current quarter.

The adoption of ASU 2016-09 required no retrospective adjustments to the financial statements. In addition there was no material cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, nor did the adoption impact the tax provision for the current quarter.

 

Income Tax Balance Sheet Classification

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” providing guidance on the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the Balance Sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 in the current quarter on a prospective basis and therefore prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.

 

Patents and Intellectual Property

 

On January 25th, 2014, the Company filed a non-provisional PCT Application No. PCT/US2014/013081 claiming priority from the U.S. Provisional Patent Application, number 61756763 which was filed one year earlier on January 25th, 2013. The Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) allows an applicant to file a single patent application to seek patent protection for an invention simultaneously in each of the 148 countries of the PCT, including the United States. By filing this single “international” patent application through the PCT, it is easier and more cost effective than filing separate applications directly with each national or regional patent office in which patent protection is desired.

 

Our PCT patent application is for the new model of the surgical fluid waste management system. We obtained a favorable International Search Report from the PCT searching authority indicating that the claims in our PCT application are patentable (i.e., novel and non-obvious) over the cited prior art. A feature claimed in the PCT application is the ability to maintain continuous suction to the surgical field while measuring, recording and evacuating fluid to the facilities sewer drainage system. This provides for continuous operation of the STREAMWAY System unit in suctioning waste fluids, which means that suction is not interrupted during a surgical operation, for example, to empty a fluid collection container or otherwise dispose of the collected fluid.

 

The Company holds the following granted patents in the United States and a pending application in the United States on its earlier models: US7469727, US8123731 and U.S. Publication No. US20090216205 (collectively, the “Patents”). These Patents will begin to expire on August 8, 2023.

 

In July 2015, Skyline Medical filed an international (PCT) patent application for its fluid waste collection system and received a favorable determination by the International Searching Authority finding that all of the claims satisfy the requirements for novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability.  Skyline anticipates that the favorable International Search Report will result in allowance of its various national applications.

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company has a credit risk concentration because of depositing $1,866,875 of funds in excess of insurance limits in a single bank.

12
 

 

Product Warranty Costs

 

In the three months ending March 31, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $4,343 in current warranty costs and incurred $29,889 in warranty costs for the three months ending March 31, 2016.

 

Segments

 

The Company operates in two segments for the sale of its medical device and consumable products. Predominantly most of the Company’s assets, revenues, and expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2017 and for 2016 in entirety were located at or derived from operations in the United States. The Company completed its first sale outside of the United States in March 2017.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulations of the FDA and other governmental agencies.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The Company has prepared the unaudited interim financial statements and related unaudited financial information in the footnotes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

  

NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT), STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

The Company has an equity incentive plan, which allows issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, where permitted under the plan. The exercise price for each stock option is determined by the Board of Directors. Vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors when granted and currently range from immediate to three years. Options under this plan have terms ranging from three to ten years.

 

2015 Public Offering of Units

 

On August 31, 2015 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company completed a public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,666,667 Units (the “Units”) as described below. The public offering price in the Offering was $9.00 per Unit, and the purchase price for the underwriter of the Offering (the “Underwriter”) was $8.28 per Unit, resulting in an underwriting discount and commission of $0.72 (or 8.00%) per Unit and total net proceeds to the Company before expenses of $13.8 million. The Company had granted the Underwriter an option for a period of 45 days to purchase up to an additional 250,000 Units solely to cover over-allotments. The Underwriter chose not to purchase any additional Units under the over-allotment option. The Company paid to the Underwriter a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Underwriter up to $70,000.

 

On August 31, 2015, because of the consummation of the Offering and the issuance of the 228,343 Exchange Units in the Unit Exchange described below, the Company issued a total of 1,895,010 Units, comprised of a total of aggregate of 75,801 shares of Common Stock, 1,895,010 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 7,580,040 Series A Warrants.

 

Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and four Series A Warrants. The shares of Common Stock, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Series A Warrants that comprise the Units automatically separated on February 29, 2016.

 

For a description of the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock included within the Units, see “Series B Preferred Stock” below. For a description of the terms of the Series A Warrants included within the Units, see “Series A Warrants” below.

 

Series A Warrants. The Series A Warrants separated from the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock included within the Units as described above and are currently exercisable. The Series A Warrants terminate on August 31, 2020. Each Series A Warrant is exercisable into one share of Common Stock at an initial cash exercise price of $123.75 per share. The cash exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon cash exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Common Stock and the exercise price.

 

13
 

 

Holders may exercise Series A Warrants by paying the exercise price in cash or, in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, by electing to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Black-Scholes Value (as defined below) based upon the number of shares the holder elects to exercise. The number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered will be determined according to the following formula, referred to as the “Cashless Exercise.”

 

Total Shares = (A x B) / C

 

Where:

 

  · Total Shares is the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon a Cashless Exercise.
     
  · A is the total number of shares with respect to which the Series A Warrant is then being exercised.

 

  · B is the Black-Scholes Value (as defined below).

 

  · C is the closing bid price of the Common Stock as of two trading days prior to the time of such exercise, provided that in no event may “C” be less than $0.43 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the Common Stock).

 

The Black-Scholes Value (as defined above) as of September 30, 2016 was $4.319, and the closing bid price of Common Stock as of September 30, 2016, was $4.125. Therefore, an exercise on that date would have resulted in the issuance of 40 shares of Common Stock for each Series A Warrant. Approximately 6,141,115 Series A Warrants have been exercised in cashless exercises as of September 30, 2016, resulting in the issuance of 2,318,663 shares of Common Stock. If all of the remaining 35,084 Series A Warrants that were issued as part of the Units sold in the Offering and part of the Units issued on August 31, 2015 were exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise and the closing bid price of our common stock as of the two trading days prior to the time of such exercise was $0.43 per share or less and the Black-Scholes Value were $4.319 (the Black-Scholes Value as of September 30, 2016), then a total of an additional approximately 564 shares of our common stock would be issued to the holders of such Series A Warrants.

 

The Series A Warrants will not be exercisable or exchangeable by the holder of such warrants to the extent (and only to the extent) that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the common stock of the Company, determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

In addition to (but not duplicative of) the adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events, the Series A Warrants provide for certain adjustments if the Company, at any time prior to the three year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (1) declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of Common Stock at any time after the Issuance Date, or (2) grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock.  Further, if at any time a Series A Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates any fundamental transaction, as described in the Series A Warrants and generally including any consolidation or merger into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for other securities or other consideration, the holder of any Series A Warrants will thereafter receive, the securities or other consideration to which a holder or the number of shares of Common Stock then deliverable upon the exercise or exchange of such Series A Warrants would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger or other transaction.

 

Unit Purchase Option. The Company, in connection with the Offering, entered into a Unit Purchase Option Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2015 (the “Unit Purchase Option”), pursuant to which the Company granted the Underwriter the right to purchase from the Company up to a number of Units equal to 5% of the Units sold in the Offering (or up to 83,333 Units) or the component securities of such Units at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price of the Units in the Offering, or $11.25 per Unit. The Unit Purchase Option was terminated in May 2016 in exchange for 135,995 shares of common stock.

 

Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock became convertible into one share of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events) on the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date or on the date of an Early Separation. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction, as described in the certificate of designations for the Series B Preferred Stock but including mergers, sales of the company’s assets, changes in control and similar transactions. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible by the holder of such preferred stock to the extent (and only to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the common stock of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except for the right to approve certain amendments to the certificate of designations or similar actions. With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank equal to the common stock of the Company. No sinking fund has been established for the retirement or redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock.

Unit Exchange. On February 4, 2014, the Company raised $2,055,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement of 20,550 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, with a stated value of $100 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series A Preferred Shares and warrants were sold to investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2014. On August 31, 2015, the Company issued a total of 228,343 Units (the “Exchange Units”) in exchange for the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock which were then cancelled pursuant to an agreement with the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares. The warrants that were issued in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares remained outstanding; however, the warrant amounts were reduced so that the warrants are exercisable into an aggregate of 3,991 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Exchange Units were exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. On August 31, 2015, the Company filed a termination certificate with the Delaware Secretary of State. Following that date there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, and the previously authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock resumed the status of authorized but unissued and undesignated shares of preferred stock of the Company.

 

Redemption of Convertible Notes. In connection with the closing of the Offering, $933,074 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes plus interest and a 40% redeemable premium were redeemed for total payments of $1,548,792. See Note 3. Of this amount, approximately $167,031 was paid to its affiliates in redemption of their Convertible Notes.

 

Registered Exchange Offer for Warrants. On March 25, 2016, the Company commenced a registered exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange Series B Warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Warrant Shares”), for up to an aggregate of 3,157,186 outstanding Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrants”). On March 31, 2016, each Series A Warrant could be exercised on a cashless basis for 10.05 shares of common stock. Each Series B Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis for one share of common stock. For each outstanding Series A Warrant tendered by holders, we offered to issue 10.2 Series B Warrants, which are subject to cashless exercise at a fixed rate of one share of common stock per Series B Warrant (subject to further adjustment for stock splits, etc.). The Exchange Offer expired at midnight, Eastern time, on April 21, 2016. 1,770,556 Series A Warrants were tendered by holders. The Company delivered an aggregate of 18,059,671 Series B Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer. In addition, between March 31, 2016 and July 6, 2016 1,251,510 Series A Warrants were exercised in cashless exercises, resulting in the issuance of 20,122 shares of common stock.

 

2016 Registered Direct Offering

 

On November 29, 2016, the Company closed a registered direct offering for gross proceeds of $1,983,337. The offering consisted of 756,999 shares of common stock priced at $2.62 per share and five-year warrants for 756,999 shares of common stock that become exercisable in six months, with a strike price of $4.46 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of securities, after deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses, was $1,739,770.

 

2017 Firm Commitment Public Offering

 

On January 13, 2017, the Company announced the pricing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 1,750,000 Units at an offering price of $2.25 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and 0.2 of a Series D Warrant, with each whole Series D Warrant purchasing one share of our common stock at an exercise price $2.25 per whole share. The shares of common stock and the Series D Warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately. Gross proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $3,937,500 before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase an additional (i) up to 175,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price per unit less the price per warrant included in the unit and less the underwriting discount and/or (ii) additional warrants to purchase up to 35,000 additional shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per warrant to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering closed on January 19, 2017. The underwriter exercised this option, and on February 22, 2017, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $358,312.

 

The Company’s stockholders’ equity now exceeds $2.5 million. On February 15, 2017, the Company received confirmation from Nasdaq that it now exceeds all applicable requirements for continued listing and is in compliance.

 

Accounting for share-based payment

 

The Company has adopted ASC 718- Compensation-Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718 stock-based employee compensation cost is recognized using the fair value based method for all new awards granted after January 1, 2006 and unvested awards outstanding at January 1, 2006. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and non-vested awards that were outstanding at January 1, 2006, are being recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards, using a straight-line method. We elected the modified-prospective method under which prior periods are not retroactively restated.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model or other acceptable means. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period of time employees will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term, the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements, the expected dividend rate and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized. The assumptions the Company uses in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent the Company's best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company's equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Since the Company's common stock has no significant public trading history, and the Company has experienced no significant option exercises in its history, the Company is required to take an alternative approach to estimating future volatility and estimated life and the future results could vary significantly from the Company's estimates. The Company compiled historical volatilities over a period of 2 to 7 years of 15 small-cap medical companies traded on major exchanges and 10 mid-range medical companies on the OTC Bulletin Board and combined the results using a weighted average approach. In the case of ordinary options to employees the Company determined the expected life to be the midpoint between the vesting term and the legal term. In the case of options or warrants granted to non-employees, the Company estimated the life to be the legal term unless there was a compelling reason to make it shorter.

 

When an option or warrant is granted in place of cash compensation for services, the Company deems the value of the service rendered to be the value of the option or warrant. In most cases, however, an option or warrant is granted in addition to other forms of compensation and its separate value is difficult to determine without utilizing an option pricing model. For that reason the Company also uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value options and warrants granted to non-employees, which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period the investors or consultants will retain vested stock options and warrants before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term, the number of options and warrants that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements, the expected dividend rate and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based consulting and/or compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized.

 

Since the Company has limited trading history in its stock and no first-hand experience with how its investors and consultants have acted in similar circumstances, the assumptions the Company uses in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent its best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company's equity-based consulting and interest expense could be materially different in the future.

 

Valuation and accounting for options and warrants

 

The Company determines the grant date fair value of options and warrants using a Black-Scholes option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term.

 

In January 2015, the Company issued a dividend adjustment to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares as described above. Certain previous dividends paid were calculated with an exercise price of $487.50 per share, but should have been calculated at $243.75 per share. As a result, 125 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

 

On March 31, 2015, the Company issued dividends to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares as described above. The dividends are at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of the Preferred Shares paid on a quarterly basis in the form of common stock per a stipulated $243.75 per share. Thus, 125 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

 

On June 30, 2015, the Company issued dividends to Purchases of the Preferred Shares as described above. The dividends are at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of the Preferred Shares paid on a quarterly basis in the form of common stock per a stipulated $243.75 per share. Thus, 125 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

 

For grants of stock options and warrants in 2015 the Company used a 1.63% to 2.35% risk-free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% to 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 to 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $6.875 to $139.2375 per share.

 

On March 25, 2016, the Company commenced the Exchange Offer which was completed on April 20, 2016, as described above.

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company issued inducement stock options in accordance with NASDAQ listing rule for 40,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 at $3.75 per share to the Company’s newly hired Vice President of Sales. The options will vest in six equal increments: on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth quarters of the hiring date anniversary.

 

On October 4, 2016, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, to be held in escrow in connection with the Company’s Partnership and Exclusive Reseller Agreement with GLG Pharma, LLC.

 

For grants of stock options and warrants in 2016 the Company used a 1.46% to 2.45% risk free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% to 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 to 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $1.6329 to $3.7195 per share.

 

For grants of stock option and warrants in 2017 the Company used a 1.92% to 2.40% risk free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% to 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 to 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $1.0293 to $1.5489 per share.

Stock options and warrants expire on various dates from June 2017 to March 2027.

 

At a special meeting of stockholders held on September 15, 2016, the Company’s stockholders (i) approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 and (ii) approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to affect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of its common stock within certain limits. On September 16, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to affect the increase in the authorized capital stock. On October 26, 2106, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to affect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of its common stock at a ratio of one-for-twenty-five (1:25), and a proportionate decrease of the authorized common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 8,000,000 shares. The reverse stock split took effect at 5:00 p.m. New York time on October 27, 2016, and the Company’s common stock commenced trading on a post-split basis on October 28, 2016. The Company’s board of directors has determined the Company may require additional shares for anticipated equity financings, future equity offerings, strategic acquisition opportunities, and the continued issuance of equity awards under our stock incentive plan to recruit and retain key employees, and for other proper corporate purposes. As a result, the board of directors called another special meeting of the stockholders that took place on January 29, 2017. The vote, a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 8,000,000 shares to 24,000,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s certificate of incorporation passed.

NOTE 3 – SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE 

 

From July through September 2014, we entered into a series of securities purchase agreements pursuant to which we issued approximately $1.8 million original principal amount (subsequently reduced to approximately $1.6 million aggregate principal amount in accordance with their terms) of convertible promissory notes (the “2014 Convertible Notes”) and warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,475,000. Of this amount, we issued to SOK Partners, LLC, an affiliate of the Company, $122,196 original principal amount of the 2014 Convertible Notes and warrants exercisable for 5,431 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. In April and May 2015, we issued and sold to a private investor additional Convertible Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $275,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000, containing terms substantially similar to the 2014 Convertible Notes (the “2015 Convertible Notes” and, together with the 2014 Convertible Notes, the “Convertible Notes”). No warrants were issued with the 2015 Convertible Notes.

 

Under a provision in the existing agreements, upon effectiveness of a resale registration statement covering certain shares, on September 9, 2014, the principal amount of the notes was reduced by 11%, to $1,603,260 and the number of Warrants was reduced by 11%, to 2,851 shares.

 

In connection with the Offering, the holders of the Convertible Notes agreed to not exercise their right to convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock, in exchange for the Company’s agreement to redeem all of the outstanding Convertible Notes promptly following the consummation of the Offering at a redemption price equal to 140% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On August 31, 2015, the closing date of the offering, the Company redeemed the remaining $933,074 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes plus interest and a 40% redeemable premium, for a total payment of $1,548,792. Of this amount, approximately $167,031 was paid to its affiliates in redemption of their Convertible Notes. Each holder of the Convertible Notes agreed to the foregoing terms and entered into an Amendment to Senior Convertible Notes and Agreement with the Company. As of March 31, 2017, none of the Convertible Notes were outstanding.

 

NOTE 4 - LOSS PER SHARE

 

The following table presents the shares used in the basic and diluted loss per common share computations:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31,
   2017  2016
Numerator:          
Net loss available in basic and diluted calculation  $(1,341,847)  $(2,176,369)
Other comprehensive income:          
Unrealized gain from marketable securities   -    2,850 
Comprehensive (loss)   (1,341,847)   (2,173,519)
Denominator:

Weighted average common shares outstanding-basic   6,450,967    723,848 
           
Loss per common share-basic and diluted  $(0.21)  $(3.01)

 

(1) The number of shares underlying options and warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 are 1,427,558 and 167,986 respectively. The number of shares underlying the preferred stock as of March 31, 2017 is 79,246. The effect of the shares that would be issued upon exercise of such options, warrants and preferred stock has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because those shares are anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

 

The provision for income taxes consists of an amount for taxes currently payable and a provision for tax consequences deferred to future periods. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which whose temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

There is no income tax provision in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive income due to the cumulative operating losses that indicate 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets and state income taxes is appropriate.

During September 2013, the Company experienced an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which could potentially limit the ability to utilize the Company’s net operating losses (NOLs). The Company may have experienced additional “ownership change(s)” since September 2013, but a formal study has not yet been performed. The general limitation rules allow the Company to utilize its NOLs subject to an annual limitation that is determined by multiplying the federal long-term tax-exempt rate by the Company’s value immediately before the ownership change.

 

At December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $30.9 million of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2017, subject to the Section 382 limitation described above. The federal NOLs will expire beginning in 2022 if unused. The Company also had approximately $13.0 million of gross NOLs to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2016, which will expire in years 2022 through 2036 if unused. The Company’s net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2016, the federal and state valuation allowances were $10.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $31.4 million of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2018, subject to the Section 382 limitation described above. The federal NOLs will expire beginning in 2022 if unused. The Company also had approximately $13.2 million of gross NOLs to reduce future state taxable income at March 31, 2017, which will expire in years 2022 through 2037 if unused. The Company's net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At March 31, 2017, the federal and state valuation allowances were $11.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

The valuation allowance has been recorded due to the uncertainty of realization of the benefits associated with the net operating losses. Future events and changes in circumstances could cause this valuation allowance to change.

 

The components of deferred income taxes at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

 

   March 31,
2017
  December 31,
2016
       
Deferred Tax Asset:          
Net Operating Loss  $10,865,000   $10,755,000 
Other   343,000    189,000 
Total Deferred Tax Asset   11,208,000    10,944,000 
Less Valuation Allowance   11,208,000    10,944,000 
Net Deferred Income Taxes  $   $

NOTE 6 – RENT OBLIGATION

 

The Company leases its principal office under a lease that can be cancelled after three years with proper notice per the lease and an amortized schedule of adjustments that will be due to the landlord. The lease extends five years and expires January 2018. In addition to rent, the Company pays real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance on the leased property. Rent expense was $16,895 and $16,750 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 respectively.

 

The Company’s rent obligation for the next two years is as follows:

 

2017  $29,250 
2018  $3,000 

 

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Audit Committee has the responsibility to review and approve all transactions to which a related party and the Company may be a party prior to their implementation, to assess whether such transactions meet applicable legal requirements.

 

One of the Company’s directors, Richard L. Gabriel, is the Chief Operating Officer and serves as a director of GLG Pharma (“GLG”). Another Company director, Tim Krochuk, is on the supervisory board for GLG. In September 20, 2016, the Company entered into a partnership and exclusive reseller agreement with GLG. Under the terms of the agreement, GLG would develop rapid diagnostic tests that utilize fluid and tissue collected by the STREAMWAY System during procedures. The Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock to GLG in four separate tranches of 100,000 shares of common stock in each tranche. The shares reserved in each tranche would be released after the achievement of certain development milestones designated in the agreement. In addition, the Company would pay a royalty to GLG on the sale of individual tests. Also, on November 1, 2016, the Company announced that it agreed to grant GLG exclusive rights to market and distribute the STREAMWAY System in the U.K. On November 2, 2016, the Company announced that it agreed to grant GLG the same rights in Poland and certain other countries in Central Europe. In April 2017, the partnership and exclusive reseller agreement and the distribution agreements between the Company and GLG were terminated.

 

NOTE 8 – RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

 

We have a pre-tax salary reduction/profit-sharing plan under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. In fiscal 2017 and 2016, we matched 100%, of the employee’s contribution up to 4% of their earnings. The employer contribution was $9,770 and $11,117 for the three months ending March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

 

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In April 2017, the partnership and exclusive reseller agreement and the distribution agreements between the Company and GLG Pharma, LLC were terminated.

 

On April 24, 2017, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, to a consultant for general business consulting services.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in Minnesota in April 2002 under the name BioDrain Medical, Inc. Effective August 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Skyline Medical Inc. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective December 16, 2013, the Company merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the same name that was its wholly-owned subsidiary, with such Delaware Corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. We manufacture an environmentally conscientious system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care.  Since our inception in 2002, we have invested significant resources into product development.  We believe that our success depends upon converting the traditional process of collecting and disposing of infectious fluids from the operating rooms of medical facilities to our wall-mounted Fluid Management System (“SYSTEM”) and use of our proprietary cleaning fluid and bifurcated filter.

 

We currently have a Vice President of Sales, one in house sales person and four regional sales managers to sell the STREAMWAY SYSTEM. We plan to sign approximately 30 independent contractors to further represent the Company across the country and in Canada in the second quarter. We have been issued our Medical Device Establishment License permitting the Company to sell the STREAMWAY SYSTEM and disposables across the 13 provinces of Canada. In March 2017, the Company completed its first sale of a STREAMWAY SYSTEM to a customer in Ontario. We have mutually terminated our agreement with Munro Enterprises LLC discontinuing the exclusive rights to market and distribute the STREAMWAY SYSTEM to the U.S. federal government. Additionally, we have mutually terminated the agreement with Munro to represent the Company as an independent contractor in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. The Company is negotiating with several distributors in the U.S. to represent us to the U.S. federal government including the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Health and Human Services facilities, among others. The commercial territories previously handled by Munro are now represented by our own regional sales managers.

 

21
 

 

Since inception, we have been unprofitable. We incurred net losses of approximately $1.3 million and $2.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, and March 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, and March 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $48.4 million and $42.5 million, respectively. We received approval from the FDA in April 2009 to commence sales and marketing activities of the STREAMWAY SYSTEM and shipped the first system in 2009. However, there was no significant revenue prior to 2011, primarily due to lack of funds to build and ship the product.

 

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company commenced sales of an updated version of the STREAMWAY SYSTEM, which provides several enhancements to the existing product line including a more intuitive and easier to navigate control screen, data storage capabilities, and additional inlet ports on the filters, among other improvements. This updated version utilizes improved technology, including the capability for continuous flow and continuous suctioning, as covered by our provisional patent application filed in 2013 and our non-provisional patent application filed in January 2014. We have sold one hundred three STREAMWAY units to date.

 

We expect the revenue for STREAMWAY FMS units to increase significantly at such time as the hospitals approve the use of the units for their applications and place orders for billable units. We also expect an increase in trial based units. Trial basis units are either installed in or hung on the hospital room wall. The unit is connected to the hospital plumbing and sewer systems, as well as, the hospital vacuum system. The unit remains on the customer site for 2 – 4 weeks, as contracted, at no cost to the customer. However, the customer does purchase the disposable products (cleaning fluid and filters) necessary to effectively operate the units. Once the trial period has expired the unit is either returned to the Company or purchased by the customer. If purchased, at that time, the Company invoices the customer based upon a contracted price negotiated prior to the trial.

 

We have never generated sufficient revenues to fund our capital requirements. We have funded our operations through a variety of debt and equity instruments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Transaction” below. In 2014, we completed private placements of Series A Preferred Stock and convertible notes raising aggregate gross proceeds of $3,530,000. In September 2014, we commenced a public offering that was delayed, and we did not complete our public offering until August 2015. During that period of time, due to limited funding and continued operating losses, we curtailed our operations and delayed our expenditures to stay in operation. These factors negatively affected our sales in late 2014 and the full year 2015. On August 31, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of units consisting of common stock, preferred stock and warrants, as well as concurrent uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $13.5 million. On November 30, 2016, the Company completed a registered direct offering of units consisting of common stock and warrants, with net proceeds of approximately $1.7 million. On January 19, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of $3.5 million because of a public offering of units consisting of common stock and warrants. Subsequently, in connection with the offering the underwriter exercised their over-allotment option in full; the Company received additional proceeds of $350,000 on February 22, 2017.

 

Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to sell our products and the availability of future financing to fulfill our business plans. See “Plan of Financing; Going Concern Qualification” below.

 

As a company, our limited history of operations makes prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue. The Company recognized $175,000 of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $97,000 in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of 81%. There were 3 sales of STREAMWAY units in the 2017 period, including our first sale of a STREAMWAY System in Canada. Our goal in ramping up our sales efforts following our hiring four regional sales managers is to have a greater revenue effect in the second quarter.

 

Cost of sales. Cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $37,000 and $86,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The gross profit margin was approximately 79% in the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 11% in the prior year. Our margins were reduced in the first quarter of 2016, as we replaced many of our STREAMWAY units for the new iteration units at no charge to our customers. Our margins still vary as our initial production of the STREAMWAY has been released for sale. We expect our margins to stabilize over the remainder of the year as our manufacturing production has become more consistent. Increased sales will allow us to achieve volume purchasing discounts on both equipment components and our cleaning solution. Over the next several quarters, we expect increases in revenues to exceed increases in costs related to increasing manufacturing and sales capabilities.

 

General and Administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of management salaries, professional fees, consulting fees, travel expense, administrative fees and general office expenses.

 

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by $557,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to March 31, 2016. The decrease in the three-month period was primarily due to $378,000 in reduced legal fees. During 2016 there were multiple registered exchange offers and other SEC filings. Additional reductions were due to payroll, taxes and benefits that were $92,000 less predominantly because our former CEO was still on salary during 2016, and our current CEO has not been on payroll, to date. There are no G&A bonuses in 2017, which is $94,000 less than in 2016, which were affected by option exercises. Other reductions were for recruitment fees, $47,000 toward our Vice President of Sales in 2016, and for licenses, permits and fees that were reduced by $23,000. Offsetting increases were to stock based compensation, $67,000, and for investors stock compensation increasing by $20,000.

 

22
 

 

Operations expense. Operations expense primarily consists of expenses related to product development and prototyping and testing in the company’s current stage.

 

Operations expense decreased by $190,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. Decreases consisted of reduced payroll and taxes by $23,000 due to an opening in our quality assurance area in 2017; reduced bonus compensation expense in 2017, $98,000, as 2016 was affected by option exercises; a reduction in research and development of $38,000; $21,000 less miscellaneous expense as there were a significant amount of obsolete parts in 2016, and a combined decrease to consulting, manufacturing supplies and shipping in 2017 of $10,000.

 

Sales and Marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense consists of expenses required to sell products through independent reps, attendance at trades shows, product literature and other sales and marketing activities.

 

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $39,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in 2017 resulted from expanding our sales force thus payroll, taxes and benefits were higher by $52,000; accordingly, travel expenses were increased as well by $16,000, and commissions were higher by $4,000 due to increased sales in 2017. Offsetting the increases was a reduction in consulting expenses, $34,000, due to our 2016 investigation of veteran’s administration and defense department potential contracts.

 

Interest expense. There was no interest expense in the first three months of either 2017 or 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Payment Obligations Under Separation Agreement With Former CEO

 

Effective May 5, 2016, Joshua Kornberg resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and President and an employee of the Company. In connection with Mr. Kornberg’s resignation, the Company and Mr. Kornberg entered into a separation agreement on June 13, 2016 (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, on July 15, 2016, the Company was required to pay Mr. Kornberg: (a) $15,433.20 less any required tax withholdings in a lump sum on July 15, 2016; and (b) $75,000 less any required tax withholdings on July 15, 2016. The Company is required to pay Mr. Kornberg an additional $75,000 less any required tax withholdings payable in 6 monthly installments of $12,500, due on the first regular payday of each month, starting on August 15, 2016; and an additional $450,000 less any required tax withholdings payable in 11 monthly installments of $40,909, due on the first regular payday of each month, starting on February 15, 2017. The Company issued to Mr. Kornberg a restricted stock award (the “Award”) under the Company’s stock incentive plan consisting of 20,000 shares. The award vested on July 15, 2016. The value of the award for purposes of the Separation Agreement (the “Award Value”) is $90,350.61, based on a ten-day volume-weighted average closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Kornberg agreed that the withholding taxes in connection with the Award will be offset against cash payments otherwise due to him in four monthly installments. In addition, the Company agreed to, at its option, either (a) pay Mr. Kornberg $309,649.39 (the “Additional Cash Amount”), equal to the difference between $400,000 and the Award Value, payable in equal monthly installments of $40,909, due on the first regular payday of each month, starting on January 15, 2018, less any required tax withholding, or (b) issue to Mr. Kornberg shares of common stock of the Company (the “Additional Shares”) on January 15, 2018 with an aggregate fair market equal to the Additional Cash Amount, based on a ten-day volume-weighted average closing sales price per share. Under the Separation Agreement, all of Mr. Kornberg’s outstanding stock options and outstanding restricted stock prior to the date of the Separation Agreement were canceled, consisting of options to purchase 22,085 shares and 2,667 shares of restricted stock. The Separation Agreement included a waiver and release of claims by Mr. Kornberg. He will also continue to be bound by the terms of any restrictive covenant agreements he had with the Company.

 

The foregoing summary of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety be reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which was filed on June 17, 2016, as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Cash Flows

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,156,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared with net cash used of $1,587,882 for the 2016 period. The $434,000 decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the reduced net loss in 2017, and decreases in payables and accruals, partially offset by an increase to vested stock option accounts from warrants issued in the 2017 public offering.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities was $2,336,412 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $1,818,811 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company invested in certificates of deposits specifically maintaining balances below $250,000 in each certificate to maintain FDIC banking protection. There was a moderate increase to purchases in fixed assets and minimal fees related to patents.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,814,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net cash provided of $86,253 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The cash provided came from the net proceeds of the January public offering and the over-allocation exercise by the underwriter.

 

Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $2,086,000 as of March 31, 2017, with certificates of deposit of approximately $2,694,000. We had a cash balance of $175,698 as of March 31, 2017, with the remainder of our cash equivalents in money market accounts. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. As of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $48,360,000.

 

23
 

 

From inception to March 31, 2017, our operations have been funded through a bank loan and private convertible debt of approximately $5,435,000 and equity investments totaling approximately $27,766,000.

 

In the first quarter of 2017, we recognized $175,000 in revenues. Our product sales since the end of the first quarter have resulted in approximately $39,000 in revenues.

  

Plan of Financing; Going Concern Qualification

 

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses, and our accumulated deficit was approximately $48.4 million as of March 31, 2017. Our operations from inception have been funded with private placements of convertible debt securities and equity securities, in addition to a past bank loan (not currently outstanding) and a qualified public offering raising a net $13,555,003 in 2015, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses. On November 29, 2016, the Company closed a registered direct offering for net proceeds of $1,739,770.

On January 19, 2017, the Company closed on an underwritten public offering with net proceeds of $3,439,125. Additionally, as part of the offering there was an over-allotment option that was exercised by the underwriter netting the Company $356,563.

 

We have not achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses at least through the first three quarters of 2017.

 

We had revenues of $175,000 in the first quarter of 2017, but we had negative operating cash flows of $1.2 million. The negative cash flow is heavily impacted by our first quarter loss, which was largely made up of $488,137 of vesting expenses for warrants issued in conjunction with the registered direct offering and the public offering completed in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Our cash balance was $175,698 as of March 31, 2017, with $4.6 million in cash equivalents and certificates of deposit, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were an aggregate $1.5 million. We are currently incurring negative operating cash flows of approximately $385,000 per month. Although we are attempting to curtail our expenses, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reduce these expenses significantly, and expenses for some periods may be higher as we prepare our product for broader sales, increase our sales efforts and maintain adequate inventories.

 

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had no debt. We may require additional funding to finance entering the international marketplace, and to fund potential acquisitions. We will attempt to raise these funds through equity or debt financing, alternative offerings or other means. If we are successful in securing adequate funding we plan to make significant capital or equipment investments, and we will also continue to make human resource additions over the next 12 months. Such additional financing will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and there is no assurance that such financing will be available upon acceptable terms. If such financing or adequate funds from operations are not available, we will be forced to limit our business activities, which will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

As a result of the above factors, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K, that they have serious doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

2017 Firm Commitment Public Offering

 

On January 13, 2017, the Company announced the pricing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 1,750,000 Units at an offering price of $2.25 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and 0.2 of a Series D Warrant, with each whole Series D Warrant purchasing one share of our common stock at an exercise price $2.25 per whole share. The shares of common stock and the Series D Warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately. Gross proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $3,937,500 before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase an additional (i) up to 175,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price per unit less the price per warrant included in the unit and less the underwriting discount and/or (ii) additional warrants to purchase up to 35,000 additional shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per warrant to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering closed on January 19, 2017. The underwriter exercised this option, and on February 22, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $358,312.

 

The Company’s stockholders’ equity now exceeds $2.5 million. On February 15, 2017, the Company received confirmation from Nasdaq that it now exceeds all applicable requirements for continued listing and is in compliance.

 

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business and operating results during the periods presented.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Developments

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented, as well as our disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation.

 

We base our estimates and assumptions on our historical experience. We also used any other pertinent information available to us at the time that these estimates and assumptions are made.  We believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for our making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results and outcomes could differ from our estimates.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Notes to Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies and reflects those areas that require more significant judgments, and use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our Financial Statements.

 

Revenue Recognition.   We recognize revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition.

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. Our standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and we will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of our STREAMWAY SYSTEM units as well as shipments of cleaning solution and filters. When these conditions are satisfied, we recognize gross product revenue, which is the price we charge generally to our customers for a particular product. Under our standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer. The customer’s right of return is limited only to our standard one-year warranty, whereby we replace or repair, at our option. We believe it would be rare that the STREAMWAY SYSTEM unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution or filters may be returned. Additionally, since we buy both the STREAMWAY SYSTEM units, cleaning solution, and filters from “turnkey” suppliers, we would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.

  

Stock-Based Compensation.  Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted ASC 718- Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  Under ASC 718 stock-based employee compensation cost is recognized using the fair value based method for all new awards granted after January 1, 2006 and unvested awards outstanding at January 1, 2006. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and non-vested awards that were outstanding at January 1, 2006, are being recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards, using a straight-line method. We elected the modified-prospective method in adopting ASC 718 under which prior periods are not retroactively restated.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period of time employees and directors will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term, the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements and the risk-free interest rate.

 

Because we do not have significant historical trading data on our common stock we relied upon trading data from a composite of 10 medical companies traded on major exchanges and 15 medical companies quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board to help us arrive at expectations as to volatility of our own stock when public trading commences. In 2013 the Company experienced significant exercises of options and warrants. The options raised $6,500 in capital. Warrants exercised for cash produced $1,330,000 of capital. In the case of options and warrants issued to consultants and investors we used the legal term of the option/warrant as the estimated term unless there was a compelling reason to use a shorter term. The measurement date for employee and non-employee options and warrants is the grant date of the option or warrant. The vesting period for options that contain service conditions is based upon management’s best estimate as to when the applicable service conditions will be achieved. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized. The assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See “Note 2 – Stockholders’ Deficit, Stock Options and Warrants” in Notes to Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

 

When an option or warrant is granted in place of cash compensation for services, we deem the value of the service rendered to be the value of the option or warrant. In most cases, however, an option or warrant is granted in addition to other forms of compensation and its separate value is difficult to determine without utilizing an option pricing model. For that reason we also use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value options and warrants granted to non-employees, which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period that investors or consultants will retain vested stock options and warrants before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term, the number of options and warrants that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements and the risk-free interest rate.  Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognizes that. Since we have no trading history in our common stock and no first-hand experience with how our investors and consultants have acted in similar circumstances, the assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our equity-based consulting and interest expense could be materially different in the future.

 

25
 

 

Since our common stock has no significant public trading history we were required to take an alternative approach to estimating future volatility and the future results could vary significantly from our estimates.  We compiled historical volatilities over a period of 2 to 7 years of 10 small-cap medical companies traded on major exchanges and 15 medical companies in the middle of the market cap size range on the OTC Bulletin Board and combined the results using a weighted average approach. In the case of standard options to employees we determined the expected life to be the midpoint between the vesting term and the legal term. In the case of options or warrants granted to non-employees, we estimated the life to be the legal term unless there was a compelling reason to make it shorter.  

 

Valuation of Intangible Assets  

 

We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350- Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management's best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made. The Company wrote off the entire original STREAMWAY product patent of $140,588 in June 2013. The balance represented intellectual property in the form of patents for our original STREAMWAY product. The Company’s enhanced STREAMWAY product has a new patent pending, see “Patents and Intellectual Property.”
