RENOVACARE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization, Nature and Continuance of Operations
RenovaCare, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiary (the “Company”), focuses on the acquisition, research, development and, if warranted, commercialization of autologous (using a patient’s own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications. The Company was previously involved in the exploration and development of both mineral exploration properties and oil and gas properties. Effective February 20, 2013, the Company became a development stage company.
On July 12, 2013, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp. (“RenovaCare Sciences”), a Nevada corporation formerly known as Janus Acquisition Corp., entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Jörg Gerlach, MD, PhD, pursuant to which RenovaCare Sciences purchased all of Dr. Gerlach’s rights, title and interest to a treatment methodology for skin isolation, spraying and associated equipment for the regeneration of human skin cells (the “Cell Deposition Device”), along with the associated US and foreign patents and patent applications. The development of the Cell Deposition Device is in the early stages and the Company anticipates that significant time and financial resources will be required to further develop the technology and determine whether a commercially viable product can be developed.
The Company has recently incurred net operating losses and operating cash flow deficits. As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s total accumulated deficit is $5.8 million. The Company does not currently generate revenues and will continue to incur losses from operations and operating cash flow deficits in the future. Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances, anticipated cash flows from operations and other external sources of capital will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements through December 31, 2014. The future of the Company after December 2014 will depend in large part on its ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to fund operations.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Accounting
As the Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business, and while planned principal operations have commenced, there has been no revenue generated from sales, license fees or royalties, and as such, the Company is considered a development stage company. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance related to a development stage enterprise.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Part 210 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated information about subsequent events that became available to us through the date the financial statements were issued. This information relates to events, transactions or changes in circumstances that would require us to adjust the amounts reported in the financial statements or to disclose information about those events, transactions or changes in circumstances. However, the results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements, including the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, which may be found under the Company’s profile on EDGAR.
7
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. RenovaCare Sciences was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 12, 2013.
Applicable Accounting Guidance
Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents may at times exceed federally insured limits.
Note Receivable from Duke Mountain
The note receivable from Duke Mountain Resources, Inc. (“Duke”) is unsecured, bears interest at 4.0% and principal and interest are due on December 31, 2015. The Company’s credit risk assessment is limited due to the related party nature of the arrangement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents and payables approximate fair value based on observable quoted prices for active markets – Level 1 inputs. The carrying amount of the note receivable from Duke approximates fair value based on similar market inputs for interest rates for a specific creditor – Level 2 inputs.
Research and Development Costs
The Company intends to outsource its research and development efforts and expense related costs as incurred, including the cost of manufacturing product for testing, licensing fees and costs associated with planning and conducting clinical trials. The value ascribed to patents and other intellectual property acquired will be capitalized as it relates to particular research and development projects that may have alternative future uses.
8
Intangible Assets
The intangible asset consists primarily of Cell Deposition Device technology that the Company acquired during 2013 and is recorded at cost. At the time of acquisition the technology had not reached technological feasibility. The amount capitalized is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment. Upon successful completion, a determination will be made as to the then useful life of the intangible asset, generally determined by the period in which substantially all of the cash flows are expected to be generated, and begin amortization. The Company tests the intangible asset for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators exist after performing a qualitative analysis. Management has multiple criteria that it considers when performing the qualitative analysis. The results of this review are then weighed and prioritized. If the totality of the relevant events and circumstances indicate that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, additional impairment tests are not necessary.
The Company assessed the following qualitative factors that could affect any change in the fair value of the intangible asset: analysis of the technology’s current phase, additional testing necessary to bring the technology to market, development of competing products, changes in projections caused by delays, changes in regulations, changes in the market for the technology and changes in cost projections to bring the technology to market. Based on a qualitative assessment, management concluded that a positive assertion can be made from the qualitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount.
Stock Options
The Company measures all stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method on the date of grant and recognizes such expense in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes income taxes on an accrual basis based on tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in tax returns. A tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not (i.e., likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. Should they occur, the Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to tax positions as interest expense. Since the Company’s inception, no such interest or penalties have been incurred. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses.
Discontinued Operations
The results of the Company’s oil and gas and mineral assets are being reported as discontinued operations as a result of the sale of the oil and gas properties in February 2013 and the sale of the Company’s subsidiary which controlled various mineral leases and claims in December 2013. Certain amounts reported in the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income (loss).
9
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consisted of warrants to purchase shares of common stock (8,200,000 shares as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013) and options to purchase shares of common stock (80,000 shares as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013). During the periods presented, potentially dilutive shares of common stock were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share as to do so would be anti-dilutive.
Related Party Transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person who holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families; (ii) the Company’s management; (iii) someone who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company; or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See “Note 6. Related Party Transactions,” for further discussion.
3. Intangible Assets – Intellectual Property
On July 12, 2013, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences, entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Jörg Gerlach, MD, PhD, pursuant to which RenovaCare Sciences purchased all of Dr. Gerlach’s rights, title and interest in the Cell Deposition Device. The Company plans to further the development of the Cell Deposition Device, if commercially viable, bring the product to market. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the transaction, the Company paid Dr. Gerlach $100,002 and issued to Dr. Gerlach a Series A Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) entitling him to purchase 1,200,000 shares (each a “Warrant Share”) of the Company’s common stock, subject to vesting milestones through July 11, 2019, at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. Acquisition related costs amounted to $52,852 and were capitalized together with the cash payment. Additional costs capitalized during 2013, and which related to a wound cap technology, amounted to $10,000. No additional costs were capitalized during the first three months of 2014. At March 31, 2014, intangible assets amounted to $162,854.
The Series A Warrant was issued in exchange for services to be rendered in the future by Dr. Gerlach. An additional agreed upon cash sum amounting to $300,000 will be paid to Dr. Gerlach upon the Company attaining certain milestones related to the Regeneration Technology. The value of the Series A Warrant will be recognized as consulting expenses to the Company over the vesting term of the underlying warrant, subject to Dr. Gerlach providing ongoing consulting services to the Company with respect to the Regeneration Technology. As such, the measurement date for accounting purposes will be the date on which performance by Dr. Gerlach is completed. The fair value of each Warrant Share is estimated at the end of each reporting period during which Dr. Gerlach renders services using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of each Warrant Share was approximately $0.87 as of March 31, 2014. Assumptions required for the Black-Scholes model are as follows:
Weighted average risk-free interest rate
|
1.73% | |
Expected life in years
|
5.25 Years
|
|
Weighted Avg Expected Volatility
|
89.0% | |
Expected dividend yield
|
0 |
Consulting expense associated with the Series A Warrant amounted to $126,833 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

4. Common Stock Options
Approval of the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan
On June 20, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted, subject to receiving shareholder approval, the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock options of up to 20,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment) of the Company’s common stock to officers, directors, key employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted to employees under the Incentive Plan, including directors and officers who are employees, may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; options granted to others under the Incentive Plan are limited to non-qualified stock options.
The Incentive Plan is administered by the Board or a committee designated by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the Incentive Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the officers, employees and consultants to whom options will be granted, the number of shares covered by each option, vesting rights and the terms and conditions of each option that is granted to them; however, no person may be granted in any of the Company’s fiscal year, options to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares under the Incentive Plan, and the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan are exercisable no later than ten years after the date of grant.
The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted under the Incentive Plan will be the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of the Company’s common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value. No option can be granted under the Incentive Plan after June 20, 2023.
As of March 31, 2014, there were 19,920,000 shares available for grant.
Stock Option Activity

The fair value of each stock option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The estimated weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2013 was approximately $0.49 to $0.57 per share. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are required for the Black-Scholes model. The volatility assumption is based on the Company’s historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. treasury note with a maturity similar to the option award’s expected life. The expected life represents the average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The assumptions for volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are presented in the table below:

Description of Business
We are a development-stage company focusing on the acquisition, research, development and, if warranted, commercialization of autologous (using a patient’s own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications. On July 12, 2013, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp., completed the acquisition of our flagship technology, a treatment methodology for skin isolation, spraying and associated equipment for the regeneration of human skin cells (the “Cell Deposition Device”), which has been shown in early human clinical use in the United States to naturally regenerate and heal skin for burn victims, along with the associated United States and foreign patents and patent applications. The development of our Cell Deposition Device is in the early stage and we anticipate that we will be required to expend significant time and resources to further develop our technology and determine whether a commercially viable product can be developed. Research and development of new technologies involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that our development activities will result in a commercially viable product. The long-term profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our development programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.
The average adult human has a skin surface area of between 16 - 21 square feet, which protects all other organs against the external environment. When a person’s skin is assailed by trauma or exposed to extreme heat, the skin’s various layers may be destroyed and depending on the severity of the injury, might cause life-threatening conditions. Currently, severe trauma to the skin, such as second or third degree burns, requires surgical mesh-grafting of skin, whereby healthy skin is removed from one area of the patient’s body (a “donor site”) and implanted on the damaged area. While mesh grafting is often the method of choice, there are significant deficiencies with this method. The surgical procedure to remove healthy skin from the donor site can be painful and leaves the patient with a new wound that must also be attended to. In many instances the aesthetic results are not satisfying, as the color of the skin from the donor site may not match the skin color of the damaged skin. Additionally, since the ratio between the size of the wound area and the size of the donor site is quite low, i.e. the size of the skin removed must be substantially equal in size to the size of the damaged skin, the mesh-grafting approach is in many cases limited. Donor and injury sites can take weeks to heal, requiring expensive hospital stays, ongoing wound dressing management, and ever-changing anti-infection strategies.
We are currently evaluating the efficacy and potential of our Cell Deposition Device, in combination with our unique cell isolation method, in the treatment of tissue that has been subject to severe trauma such as second and third degree burns. In small scale clinical trials, the Cell Deposition Device and cell isolation methodology has shown the ability to regenerate a more natural and thicker skin. The Cell Deposition Device utilizes the patient’s own skin stem cells and is able to address much larger treatment areas and at the same time reduce the size of the donor site. Furthermore, we believe the Cell Deposition Device enables the effective treatment of other skin disorders with minimal scarring compared to skin grafting.
Strategy
Our ultimate goal is to leverage the potential of our Cell Deposition Device, together with our cell isolation method, as cutting edge treatments in skin therapy. Before we can do so, however, there are a number of steps we must first take, including:
·
|
initiating a series of clinical trials to determine the Cell Deposition Device’s efficacy for treating wounds and burns;
|
·
|
expanding the range of possible applications;
|
·
|
formalizing collaborations with universities and scientific partners;
|
·
|
creating a network of clinical and research partners; and
|
·
|
achieving Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and other regulatory approval.
|
Additionally, we will likely be required to raise significant capital in order to fund our ongoing research and development operations, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise on acceptable terms, if at all.

Continuing Operations
Our expenses consist primarily of professional fees and administrative costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, general and administrative expenses were $268,021 and $70,373, respectively. The increase in general and administrative fees in 2014 of $197,753 was due primarily to a $126,833 expense related to the Series A Warrant issued in July 2013 and to an increase in consulting fees of which $16,863 related to the development of our Cell Deposition Device. In addition, legal fees in 2014 increased by $32,006 as a result of increased patent related activity.
As a result of the foregoing, net loss from continuing operations for three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $(268,021) and $(70,373), respectively.
Discontinued Operations
Gain on the disposal of our oil and gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $49,338. There was no activity in discontinued operations in 2014.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $(268,021) and $(21,035), respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently finance our activities primarily by the private placement of our equity securities. There is no assurance that equity funding will be accessible to us at the times and in the amounts required to fund our ongoing operations. There are many conditions beyond our control which have a direct bearing on the level of investor interest in the purchase of our securities. We do not have any agreements or understandings with any person as to additional financing.
At March 31, 2014, we had cash of $1,349,266 (December 2013 - $1,508,843) and working capital of $1,320,226 (December 2013 – $1,454,632). Total liabilities as of March 31, 2014 were $63,075 (December 2013 - $55,440).
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, we have incurred recurring operating losses since inception of $5.8 million. We require additional funds to meet our obligations and maintain our operations. We have sufficient working capital to (i) pay our administrative and general operating expenses through December 31, 2014, and (ii) to conduct our preliminary research and development programs. Without sufficient cash flow from operations, we may need to obtain additional funds (presumably through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing) in order, if warranted, to implement additional research and development programs on our Cell Deposition Device.
Cash Flow
Operating activities: We used cash of $159,577 for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (2013 - $26,545). We have financed our operations through the sale of our equity securities, as outlined below.
Investing Activities: During the three months ended March 31, 2014 there were no investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, proceeds from the disposal of oil and gas properties was $3,000.
Financing Activities: Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $0 and $0, respectively.
Dividends
We have neither declared nor paid any dividends on its common stock. We intend to retain our earnings to finance growth and expand our operations and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable – related parties approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Management is of the opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
20
Market Risk Disclosures
We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes during or subsequent to the periods presented.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations at March 31, 2014, and the subsequent period to May 13, 2014, that are likely to have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have not been disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
See “Note 2. Market Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Related Party Transactions
Our proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are employees or consultants to other companies in the healthcare industry and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.
Other than as disclosed below, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the subsequent period, none of our current directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect us.
On November 29, 2013, we entered into a subscription agreement with Kalen Capital Corporation (the “Investor”), a private Alberta corporation wholly owned by Mr. Harmel S. Rayat and a majority shareholder of ours, pursuant to which the Investor purchased 3,500,000 units of our equity securities (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $0.43 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase amount of $1,505,000. Each Unit consists of: (a) one share of common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Common Stock”); (b) one Series B Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share if exercised within the first eighteen months or $0.46 per share if exercised after the first eighteen months and prior to expiration on November 29, 2018; and (c) one Series C Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series C Warrant”) exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share if exercised within the first eighteen months or $0.49 per share if exercised after the first eighteen months and prior to expiration on November 29, 2018. Each of the Series B Warrant and Series C Warrant contains a provision allowing the holder to exercise the respective warrant on a cashless basis as further set forth therein. The Unit price of $0.43 represents a 30% discount to the 20 day average closing price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTCQB as of October 31, 2013, the last trading date prior to us entering into a non-binding term sheet with the Investor regarding the purchase of the Units.
On December 31, 2013, we completed the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Fostung Resources to Duke for a promissory note in the amount of $80,000, which amount approximated the fair value of the leases and mining claims controlled by Fostung Resources, as concluded by an independent third-party geological consultant. Mr. Herdev S. Rayat, the majority shareholder of Duke is the brother of Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, our majority shareholder.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
