Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of SANUWAVE Health, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (“SANUWAVE” or the “Company”)
contains forward-looking statements. All statements in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those made by the
management of the Company, other than statements of historical
fact, are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking
statements include statements regarding: the Company’s future
financial results, operating results, and projected costs; market
acceptance of and demand for dermaPACE and our product candidates;
management’s plans and objectives for future operations;
industry trends; regulatory actions that could adversely affect the
price of or demand for our approved products; our intellectual
property portfolio; our business, marketing and manufacturing
capacity and strategy; estimates regarding our capital
requirements, the anticipated timing of the need for additional
funds, and our expectations regarding future capital-raising
transactions, including through investments by strategic partners
for market opportunities, which may include strategic partnerships
or licensing agreements, or raising capital through the conversion
of outstanding warrants or issuances of securities; product
liability claims; economic conditions that could adversely affect
the level of demand for our products; timing of clinical studies
and eventual FDA approval of our products; financial markets; the
competitive environment; and our plans to remediate our material
weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and our
internal control over financial reporting. These forward-looking
statements are based on management’s estimates, projections
and assumptions as of the date hereof and include the assumptions
that underlie such statements. Forward-looking statements may
contain words such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “would,”
“expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,”
“predict,” “potential” and
“continue,” the negative of these terms, or other
comparable terminology. Any expectations based on these
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
and other important factors, including those discussed in the
reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), specifically the sections titled “Risk
Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018, filed on April 1, 2019 and in the
Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Other risks and
uncertainties are and will be disclosed in the Company’s
prior and future SEC filings. These and many other factors could
affect the Company’s future financial condition and operating
results and could cause actual results to differ materially from
expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this
document or elsewhere by the Company or on its behalf. The Company
undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking
statements. The following information should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,
filed on April 1, 2019.
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us”
and “our” are to the consolidated business of the
Company.

SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2019
1. Nature of
the Business
SANUWAVE Health,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a shock wave technology company using a
patented system of noninvasive, high-energy, acoustic shock waves
for regenerative medicine and other applications. The
Company’s initial focus is regenerative medicine –
utilizing noninvasive, acoustic shock waves to produce a biological
response resulting in the body healing itself through the repair
and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular
structures. The Company’s lead regenerative product in the
United States is the dermaPACE® device, used
for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two
double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies. On December
28, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the
“FDA”) notified the Company to permit the marketing of
the dermaPACE System for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in
the United States.
The Company’s portfolio of healthcare
products and product candidates activate biologic signaling and
angiogenic responses, including new vascularization and
microcirculatory improvement, helping to restore the body’s
normal healing processes and regeneration. The Company intends to
apply its Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE®)
technology in wound healing, orthopedic, plastic/cosmetic and
cardiac conditions. In 2019, the Company has been marketing the
dermaPACE System for placement in the United States and the
European Conformity Marking (CE Mark) devices and accessories in
Europe, Canada, Asia and Asia/Pacific. The Company generates
revenue streams from product sales, licensing transactions and
other activities.
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)
for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP
for complete financial statements. The financial information
as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018 is unaudited; however, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for any other interim period or
for the year ending December 31, 2019.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has
been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 1, 2019 (the “2018 Annual
Report”).
2. Going Concern
The
Company does not currently generate significant recurring revenue
and will require additional capital during 2019. As of September
30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $123,002,883
and cash and cash equivalents of
$402,656. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and
2018, the net cash used by operating activities was $4,684,611 and
$2,271,566, respectively. The Company incurred a net loss of
$7,679,766 and $9,570,056 for the nine months ended September 30,
2019 and 2018, respectively. The operating losses and the events of
default on the Company’s short term notes payable (see Note
8), the Company’s convertible promissory notes and the notes
payable, related parties (see Note 9) raised substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
for a period of at least twelve months from the filing of this
report.

SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
September 30, 2019
2. Going Concern (continued)
The continuation of the Company’s business
is dependent upon raising additional capital to fund operations.
Management’s plans are to obtain additional capital through
investments by strategic partners for market opportunities, which
may include strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements, or
raise capital through the conversion of outstanding warrants, the
issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into
common stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to
the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant
dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders.
Although no assurances can be given, management of the Company
believes that potential additional issuances of equity or other
potential financing transactions as discussed above should provide
the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going
concern. If these efforts are
unsuccessful, the Company may be forced to seek relief through a
filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern.
3.
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant
accounting policies followed by the Company are summarized below
and should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual
Report:
Principles of
consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
Estimates –
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because a precise
determination of assets and liabilities, and correspondingly
revenues and expenses, depend on future events, the preparation of
condensed consolidated financial statements for any period
necessarily involves the use of estimates and assumptions. Actual
amounts may differ from these estimates. These condensed
consolidated financial statements have, in management’s
opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of
materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies
summarized herein. Significant estimates include the recording of
allowances for doubtful accounts, estimate of the net realizable
value of inventory, valuation of derivatives, the determination of
the valuation allowances for deferred taxes, estimated fair value
of stock-based compensation, and estimated fair value of
warrants.
Reclassifications
– Certain accounts in the prior period unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified
for comparison purposes to conform to the presentation of the
current period unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously
reported net loss.
Inventory -
Inventory consists of finished medical equipment and parts and is
stated at the lower of cost, which is valued using the first in,
first out (“FIFO”) method, or net realizable value less
allowance for selling and distribution expenses. The Company analyzes its inventory
levels and writes down inventory that has, or is expected to,
become obsolete. As of September 30, 2019, inventory consists of
goods of $212,940 and parts of $174,976, net of reserve of $96,980
for a total inventory of $290,936. As of December 31, 2018,
inventory consisted of goods of $250,821 and parts of $226,299, net
of reserve of $119,300 for a total inventory of
$357,820.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards
In
February 2016, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”)
2016-02, Leases (Topic
842). Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB
clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the
collection of lease guidance is referred to as “ASC
842”. The Company, using the modified retrospective approach
with a cumulative-effect adjustment, recognized a right to use
("ROU") asset at the beginning of the period of adoption (January
1, 2019). Therefore, the Company recognized and measured operating
leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet without revising
comparative period information or disclosure. The Company elected
the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition
guidance within the standard, which eliminates the reassessment of
past leases, classification and initial direct costs and treats
short term leases of less than a year outside of a ROU asset. The
Company has no financing leases. The adoption did not materially
impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations or Cash Flows. Refer to Note 13, Commitments and
Contingencies, for additional disclosures required by ASC 842. The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at
inception.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies what
constitutes a modification of a share-based payment award.
The ASU is intended to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in
practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in
Topic 718 to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based
payment award. ASU 2017-09 is effective for public entities
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of
ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations.
In July
2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480): Derivatives and Hedging (Topic
815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite
Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of
Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable
Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of
this ASU addresses the complexity and reporting burden associated
with the accounting for freestanding and embedded instruments with
down round features as liabilities subject to fair value
measurement. Part II of this ASU addresses the difficulty of
navigating Topic 480. Part I of this ASU will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is
permitted for an entity in an interim or annual period. The Company
has elected to apply ASU 2017-11 using a modified-retrospective
approach by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to its
financial statements as of the beginning of the first fiscal year
for which the account standard applies (or January 1, 2019), as
allowed under ASU 2017-11. Since the adoption of ASU 2017-11 would
have classified the warrants effected as equity at inception, the
cumulative-effect adjustment should (i) record the issuance date
value of the warrants as if they had been equity classified at the
issuance date, (ii) reverse the effects of changes in the fair
value of the warrants that had been recorded in the statement of
comprehensive loss of each period, and (iii) eliminate the
derivative liabilities form the balance sheet. Upon adoption, the
Company (i) recorded an increase of $262,339 to additional paid-in
capital, (ii) recorded an increase to retained earnings of
$1,278,661 and (iii) decreased the warrant liability by
$1,542,000.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,
Compensation
– Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to
Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies the accounting for
share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the
accounting for share-based payments to employees. As a result,
share-based payments issued to nonemployees related to the
acquisition of goods and services will be accounted for similarly
to the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with
certain exceptions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
such fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted if financial
statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of ASU 2018-07
had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-09, Codification
Improvements (“ASU
2018-09”). These amendments provide clarifications and
corrections to certain ASC subtopics including the following:
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Overall
(Topic 220-10), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Topic
470-50), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity – Overall
(Topic 480-10), Compensation - Stock Compensation - Income Taxes
(Topic 718-740), Business Combinations - Income Taxes (Topic
805-740), Derivatives and Hedging – Overall (Topic 815- 10),
and Fair Value Measurement – Overall (Topic 820-10). The
majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 are effective for pubic
business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15,
2018. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2018-09 and the adoption of
this ASU had no significant impact on its condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure
Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU
2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements associated with fair
value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement,
including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments
on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted
average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3
fair value measurements, and the narrative description of
measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only
the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial
fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied
retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.
The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an
interim period. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2018-13 and
its impact on its condensed consolidated financial
statements.

The
timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from
the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded
when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an
unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment
precedes the satisfaction of performance obligations, the Company
records a contract liability (deferred revenue) until the
performance obligations are satisfied. Of the aggregate contract
liability balances as of September 30, 2019, the Company expects to
satisfy its remaining performance obligations associated with
$61,429 and $61,179of contract liability balances within the next
twelve months and following forty-five months, respectively. Of the
aggregate contract liability balances as of December 31, 2018, the
Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations
associated with $131,797 and $46,736 of contract liability balances
within the next twelve months and following forty-five months,
respectively.

Advances
from related parties
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has received
$2,055,414 for warrant exercises. Due to the timing of receipt of
cash and issuance of the Company’s common stock the funds
have been recorded as advances from related parties and will be
properly recorded as equity when the common stock is issued.
Advances from related parties totaled $1,094,765 at September 30,
2019.
7.
Line
of credit, related parties
The
Company is a party to a line of credit agreement with A. Michael
Stolarski, a member of the Company’s board of directors and
an existing shareholder of the Company. The line of credit is in
the amount of $669,500 with an annualized interest rate of 6%.
On April 30, 2019, the amount of the
line of credit was decreased by $180,000 through a conversion to
2,475,000 shares of common stock. On August 8, 2019, the
amount of the line of credit was increased by $90,000 through a
deposit on purchase of future dermaPACE Systems. On August 28, 2019, the amount of the line of
credit was decreased by $500,000 through a conversion to 5,000,000
shares of common stock. The line of credit may be called for
payment upon demand of the holder. As of September 30, 2019,
$338,279 was outstanding under the agreement.
Interest expense on
the line of credit, related parties totaled $14,770 and $7,590 for
the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively
and $37,555 and $18,690 for the nine months ended September 30,

Short
term notes payable
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company entered into
short term notes payable in the total principal amount of
$1,215,000 with an interest rate of 5% per annum. The total
principal, accrued interest and accrued financing costs of short
term notes payable was $1,061,408 as of September 30, 2019 and are
due and payable six months from the date of issuance of the
respective notes.
On

payable issued on June 26, 2018 and began accruing interest at the
default interest rate of 10%. On January 2, 2019, the Company
defaulted on the short term notes payable issued on July 2, 2018
and began accruing interest at the default interest rate of 10%. On
January 30, 2019, the Company defaulted on the short term notes
payable issued on July 30, 2018 and began accruing interest at the
default interest rate of 10%. In May 2019, the Company defaulted on
the short term notes payable issued during November 2018 and began
accruing interest at the default rate of 10%. On June 30, 2019, the
Company defaulted on the short term notes payable issued on
December 31, 2018 and began accruing interest at the default
interest rate of 10% in July 2019.
On April 17, 2019, the Company offered an
incentive to Class L and Class N Warrant holders in return for
their funding the operations of the Company prior to an effective
Registration Statement with the SEC for the Class L and Class N
Warrant Agreements and certain Series A Warrants. As teh incentive to Class L and Class N Warrant
holders the Company approved the issuance of a 10% bonus number of
shares of the Company’s common stock to be calculated
by multiplying the number of shares being issued upon the Class L
Warrant, Class N Warrant and Series A Warrant exercise by 10% at a
cost basis equal to the exercise price and recorded interest
expense in the amount of $629,963.
Interest expense on
the short term notes payable totaled ($33,377) and $2,190 for the
three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and
$672,395 and $2,231 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019
and 2018, respectively.

Convertible
promissory notes
The 10% Convertible Promissory Notes have a six
month term from the subscription date and the note holders can
convert the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes at any time during the
term to the number of shares of Company common stock, $0.001 par value (the
“Common Stock”), equal to the amount obtained by
dividing (i) the amount of the unpaid principal and interest on the
note by (ii) $0.11. The 10%
Convertible Promissory Notes include a warrant agreement (the
“Class N Warrant”) to purchase Common Stock equal to
the amount obtained by dividing the (i) sum of the principal amount
by (ii) $0.11. The Class N Warrants were to expire on March 17,
2019. On January 23, 2019, the Company amended the
expiration date of the Class N Warrants from March 17, 2019 to May
1, 2019. On March 1, 2019, the Company amended the expiration date
of the Class N Warrants from March 17, 2019 to June 28, 2019.
On May 31, 2019, the Company amended
the expiration date of the Class N warrants from June 28, 2019 to
September 3, 2019.
As
of August 2, 2018, the Company defaulted on all of the 10%
Convertible Promissory Notes issued and began accruing interest at
the default interest rate of 18%.
As
of September 30, 2019, the Company has received conversion notices
on all outstanding Convertible Promissory Notes. However, as of
September 30, 2019, the Company had not yet issued all of the
Common Stock that is due upon conversion of the Convertible
Promissory Notes. Therefore, there is still a remaining current
liability balance in Convertible Promissory Notes of $1,012,458 at
September 30, 2019 for those unissued common stock
shares.
Interest expense on
the 10% Convertible Promissory Note totaled $71,649 and $174,095
for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,
respectively, and $279,750 and $3,433,310 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and 2018,

Notes
payable, related parties
The
notes payable, related parties as amended were issued in
conjunction with the Company’s purchase of the orthopedic
division of HealthTronics, Inc. The notes payable, related parties
bear interest at 8% per annum, as amended. All remaining unpaid
accrued interest and principal was due on December 31, 2018, as
amended. HealthTronics, Inc. is a related party because they are a
shareholder in the Company and have a security agreement with the
Company detailed below.
The Company is a party to a security
agreement with HealthTronics, Inc. to provide a first security
interest in the assets of the Company. During any period when an
Event of Default occurs, the applicable interest rate shall
increase by 2% per annum. Events of Default under the notes
payable, related parties have occurred and are continuing on
account of the failure of SANUWAVE, Inc., a Delaware corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the borrower under the
notes payable, related parties, to make the required payments of
interest which were due on December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June

2019 and September 30, 2019 (collectively, the
“Defaults”). As a result of the Defaults, the notes
payable, related parties have been accruing interest at the rate of
10% per annum since January 2, 2017 and continue to accrue interest
at such rate. The Company will be required to make mandatory
prepayments of principal on the notes payable, related parties
equal to 20% of the proceeds received by the Company through the
issuance or sale of any equity securities in cash or through the
licensing of the Company’s patents or other intellectual
property rights.
The
notes payable, related parties had an aggregate outstanding
principal balance of $5,372,743 at September 30, 2019 and December
31, 2018.
Accrued
interest, related parties currently payable totaled $1,679,975 at

Warrants
(continued)
On
January 23, 2019, the Company extended the expiration date to May
1, 2019 for Series A Warrants, Class L Warrants and Class N
Warrants. On March 1, 2019, the Company extended the expiration
date to June 28, 2019 for Class N Warrants and Class O Warrants. On
May 31, 2019, the Company amended the expiration date of the Class
N warrants from June 28, 2019 to September 3, 2019. No
consideration was given for the warrant extensions.
The
Company has 5,991,668 Class L Warrants, 125,557 Series A Warrants
and 8,500,000 Class N Warrants that have been exercised but the
common stock has not yet been issued. The cash for these issuable
shares was previously received and recorded in Advances from
related parties and Short term notes payable.
The
exercise price of the Class K Warrants and the Series A Warrants
are subject to a “down-round” anti-dilution adjustment
if the Company issues or is deemed to have issued certain
securities at a price lower than the then applicable exercise price
of the warrants. Accordingly, the Company has classified such
warrants as derivative liabilities. The Class K Warrants may be
exercised on a physical settlement or on a cashless basis.
The Series A Warrants may be exercised on a physical settlement
basis if a registration statement underlying the warrants is
effective. If a registration statement is not effective (or
the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the
resale by the holder of the Series A Warrants, then the holder may
exercise the warrants on a cashless basis.
On
June 11, 2019, the Company issued Class P Warrant Agreements to
vendors to purchase 265,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.20 per share. Each Class P Warrant represents the right
to purchase one share of Common Stock. The estimated fair value of
the Class P Warrants at the grant date was $36,067 and was recorded
as selling and marketing expense and an increase to additional
paid-in capital. The warrants vested upon issuance and expire on
June 11, 2024.
On
June 24, 2019, the Company issued Class P Warrant Agreement to a
vendor to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.20 per share. Each Class P Warrant represents
the right to purchase one share of Common Stock. The estimated fair
value of the Class P Warrant will be recorded as selling and
marketing expense and an increase to additional paid-in capital as
the warrants are earned per the milestones. The warrants have not
yet vested based on milestones and expire on June 24,
2024.
The
Class K Warrants and the Series A Warrants are derivative financial
instruments. The estimated fair value of the Class K Warrants at
the date of grant was $36,989 and recorded as debt discount, which
is accreted to interest expense through the maturity date of the
related notes payable, related parties. The estimated fair values
of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants at the date of
grant were $557,733 for the warrants issued in conjunction with the
2014 Private Placement and $47,974 for the warrants issued in
conjunction with the 18% Convertible Promissory Notes. The fair
value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were recorded
as equity issuance costs in 2014, a reduction of additional paid-in
capital. The Series B Warrants expired unexercised in March
2015.
The
estimated fair values were determined using a binomial option
pricing model based on various assumptions. The
Company’s derivative liabilities have been classified as
Level 3 instruments and are adjusted to reflect estimated fair
value at each period end, with any decrease or increase in the
estimated fair value being recorded in other income or expense
accordingly, as adjustments to the fair value of derivative
liabilities.

Operating Leases
The
Company is a party to certain operating leases. In
August 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement for
7,500 square feet of office space for office, research and
development, quality control, production and warehouse space which
expires on December 31, 2021. On February 1, 2018, the Company
entered into an amendment to the lease agreement for an additional
380 square feet of office space for storage which expires on
December 31, 2021. On January 2, 2019, the Company entered into a
second amendment to the lease agreement for an additional 2,297
square feet of office space for office space which expires on
December 31, 2021. Under the terms of the lease, the Company pays
monthly rent of $14,651, subject to a 3% adjustment on an annual
basis.
For
leases where the Company is the lessee, ROU assets represent the
Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term
and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities
are recognized at the lease commencement date (except we used the
practical expedients and recorded the outstanding operating lease
at January 1, 2019) based on the present value of lease payments
over the lease term. As the Company’s lease did not provide
an implicit interest rate, the Company used the equivalent
borrowing rate for a secured financing with the term of that equal
to the remaining life of the lease at inception. The lease terms
used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability did not
include options to extend or termination of the lease; there are
none and there is no reasonable certainty that the Company would
extend the lease at expiration. Lease expense for operating leases
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an
operating expense. The Company has lease agreements which require
payments for lease and non-lease components and has elected to
account for these as a separate lease components. Non-leasing
components are not included in the ROU asset.

Financing Lease
For
leases where the Company is the lessee, ROU assets represent the
Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term
and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities
are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. The present value of
the lease payment exceeds 90% of the sales price of the equipment,
therefore this lease will be considered a financing lease. Lease
expense will be recognized as payment of financing lease,
depreciation expense and interest expense.

Litigation
The
Company is a defendant in various legal actions, claims and
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including
claims related to breach of contracts and intellectual property
matters resulting from our business activities. As with most
actions such as these, an estimation of any possible and/or
ultimate liability cannot always be determined. We believe that all
pending claims, if adversely decided, would not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of
operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the
related notes appearing elsewhere in this report, and together with
our audited consolidated financial statements, related notes and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2018 included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019.
Overview
We are
a shock wave technology company
using a patented system of noninvasive, high-energy, acoustic shock
waves for regenerative medicine and other applications. Our initial
focus is regenerative medicine – utilizing noninvasive,
acoustic shock waves to produce a biological response resulting in
the body healing itself through the repair and regeneration of
tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular structures Our lead
regenerative product in the United States is the
dermaPACE® device, used
for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two
double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies and was
cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) on December 28, 2017.
Our
portfolio of healthcare products and product candidates activate
biologic signaling and angiogenic responses, including new
vascularization and microcirculatory improvement, helping to
restore the body’s normal healing processes and regeneration.
We intend to apply our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE®) technology in
wound healing, orthopedic, plastic/cosmetic and cardiac conditions.
In 2018, we started marketing our dermaPACE System for sale in the
United States and will continue to generate revenue from sales of
the European Conformity Marking (CE Mark) devices and accessories
in Europe, Canada, Asia and Asia/Pacific.
Our
lead product candidate for the global wound care market, dermaPACE,
has received FDA clearance for commercial use to treat diabetic
foot ulcers in the United States and the CE Mark allowing for
commercial use on acute and chronic defects of the skin and
subcutaneous soft tissue. We believe we have demonstrated that our
patented technology is safe and effective in stimulating healing in
chronic conditions of the foot and the elbow through our United
States FDA Class III PMA approved OssaTron® device, and in
the stimulation of bone and chronic tendonitis regeneration in the
musculoskeletal environment through the utilization of our
orthoPACE®, OssaTron, and
Evotron® devices in
Europe and Asia.
We
are focused on developing our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE) technology to activate healing in:
●
wound
conditions, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial
ulcers, pressure sores, burns and other skin eruption
conditions;
●
orthopedic
applications, such as eliminating chronic pain in joints from
trauma, arthritis or tendons/ligaments inflammation, speeding the
healing of fractures (including nonunion or delayed-union
conditions), improving bone density in osteoporosis, fusing bones
in the extremities and spine, and other potential sports injury
applications;
●
plastic/cosmetic
applications such as cellulite smoothing, graft and transplant
acceptance, skin tightening, scarring and other potential aesthetic
uses; and
●
cardiac
applications for removing plaque due to atherosclerosis improving
heart muscle performance.
In
addition to healthcare uses, our high-energy, acoustic pressure
shock waves, due to their powerful pressure gradients and localized
cavitational effects, may have applications in secondary and
tertiary oil exploitation, for cleaning industrial waters and food
liquids and finally for maintenance of industrial installations by
disrupting biofilms formation. Our business approach will be
through licensing and/or partnership opportunities.
Clinical Trials and Marketing
The FDA
granted approval of our Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to
conduct two double-blinded, randomized clinical trials utilizing
our lead device product for the global wound care market, the
dermaPACE device, in the treatment of diabetic foot
ulcers.
-21-
The
dermaPACE system was evaluated using two studies under IDE G070103.
The studies were designed as prospective, randomized, double-blind,
parallel-group, sham-controlled, multi-center 24-week studies at 39
centers. A total of 336 subjects were enrolled and treated with
either dermaPACE plus conventional therapy or conventional therapy
(a.k.a. standard of care) alone. Conventional therapy included, but
was not limited to, debridement, saline-moistened gauze, and
pressure reducing footwear. The objective of the studies was to
compare the safety and efficacy of the dermaPACE device to
sham-control application. The prospectively defined primary
efficacy endpoint for the dermaPACE studies was the incidence of
complete wound closure at 12 weeks post-initial application of the
dermaPACE system (active or sham). Complete wound closure was
defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing
requirements, confirmed over two consecutive visits within
12-weeks. If the wound was considered closed for the first time at
the 12 week visit, then the next visit was used to confirm closure.
Investigators continued to follow subjects and evaluate wound
closure through 24 weeks.
The dermaPACE device completed its initial Phase
III, IDE clinical trial in the United States for the treatment of
diabetic foot ulcers in 2011 and a PMA application was filed with
the FDA in July 2011. The patient enrollment for the second,
supplemental clinical trial began in June 2013. We completed
enrollment for the 130 patients in this second trial in November
2014 and suspended further enrollment at that time.
The
only significant difference between the two studies was the number
of applications of the dermaPACE device. Study one (DERM01; n=206)
prescribed four (4) device applications/treatments over a two-week
period, whereas, study two (DERM02; n=130) prescribed up to eight
(8) device applications (4 within the first two weeks of
randomization, and 1 treatment every two weeks thereafter up to a
total of 8 treatments over a 10-week period). If the wound was
determined closed by the PI during the treatment regimen, any
further planned applications were not performed.
Between
the two studies there were over 336 patients evaluated, with 172
patients treated with dermaPACE and 164 control group subjects with
use of a non-functional device (sham). Both treatment groups
received wound care consistent with the standard of care in
addition to device application. Study subjects were enrolled using
pre-determined inclusion/exclusion criteria in order to obtain a
homogenous study population with chronic diabetes and a diabetic
foot ulcer that has persisted a minimum of 30 days and its area is
between 1cm2 and 16cm2, inclusive. Subjects
were enrolled at Visit 1 and followed for a run-in period of two
weeks. At two weeks (Visit 2 – Day 0), the first treatment
was applied (either dermaPACE or Sham Control application).
Applications with either dermaPACE or Sham Control were then made
at Day 3 (Visit 3), Day 6 (Visit 4), and Day 9 (Visit 5) with the
potential for 4 additional treatments in Study 2. Subject progress
including wound size was then observed on a bi-weekly basis for up
to 24 weeks at a total of 12 visits (Weeks 2-24; Visits
6-17).
A total
of 336 patients were enrolled in the dermaPACE studies at 37 sites.
The patients in the studies were followed for a total of 24 weeks.
The studies’ primary endpoint, wound closure, was defined as
“successful” if the skin was 100% re-epithelialized at
12 weeks without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two
consecutive study visits.
-22-
A
summary of the key study findings were as follows:
●
Patients treated
with dermaPACE showed a strong positive trend in the primary
endpoint of 100% wound closure. Treatment with dermaPACE increased
the proportion of diabetic foot ulcers that closed within 12 weeks,
although the rate of complete wound closure between dermaPACE and
sham-control at 12 weeks in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population
was not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level used
throughout the study (p=0.320). There were 39 out of 172 (22.67%)
dermaPACE subjects who achieved complete wound closure at 12 weeks
compared with 30 out of 164 (18.29%) sham-control
subjects.
●
In addition to the
originally proposed 12-week efficacy analysis, and in conjunction
with the FDA agreement to analyze the efficacy analysis carried
over the full 24 weeks of the study, we conducted a series of
secondary analyses of the primary endpoint of complete wound
closure at 12 weeks and at each subsequent study visit out to 24
weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint of complete wound closure
reached statistical significance at 20 weeks in the ITT population
with 61 (35.47%) dermaPACE subjects achieving complete wound
closure compared with 40 (24.39%) of sham-control subjects
(p=0.027). At the 24 week endpoint, the rate of wound closure in
the dermaPACE® cohort was 37.8% compared to 26.2% for the
control group, resulting in a p-value of 0.023.
●
Within 6 weeks
following the initial dermaPACE treatment, and consistently
throughout the 24-week period, dermaPACE significantly reduced the
size of the target ulcer compared with subjects randomized to
receive sham-control (p<0.05).
●
The proportion of
patients with wound closure indicate a statistically significant
difference between the dermaPACE and the control group in the
proportion of subjects with the target-ulcer not closed over the
course of the study (p-value=0.0346). Approximately 25% of
dermaPACE® subjects reached wound closure per the study
definition by day 84 (week 12). The same percentage in the control
group (25%) did not reach wound closure until day 112 (week 16).
These data indicate that in addition to the proportion of subjects
reaching wound closure being higher in the dermaPACE® group,
subjects are also reaching wound closure at a faster rate when
dermaPACE is applied.
●
dermaPACE
demonstrated superior results in the prevention of wound expansion
(≥ 10% increase in wound size), when compared to the control,
over the course of the study at 12 weeks (18.0% versus 31.1%;
p=0.005, respectively).
●
At 12 and 24 weeks,
the dermaPACE group had a higher percentage of subjects with a 50%
wound reduction compared to the control (p=0.0554 and p=0.0899,
respectively). Both time points demonstrate a trend towards
statistical significance.
●
The mean wound
reduction for dermaPACE subjects at 24 weeks was 2.10cm2 compared
to 0.83cm2 in the control group. There was a statistically
significant difference between the wound area reductions of the two
cohorts from the 6 week follow-up visit through the end of the
study.
●
Of the subjects who
achieved complete wound closure at 12 weeks, the recurrence rate at
24 weeks was only 7.7% in the dermaPACE group compared with 11.6%
in the sham-control group.
●
Importantly, there
were no meaningful statistical differences in the adverse event
rates between the dermaPACE treated patients and the sham-control
group. There were no issues regarding the tolerability of the
treatment which suggests that a second course of treatment, if
needed, is a clinically viable option.
We
retained Musculoskeletal Clinical Regulatory Advisers, LLC (MCRA)
in January 2015 to lead the Company’s interactions and
correspondence with the FDA for the dermaPACE, which have already
commenced. MCRA has successfully worked with the FDA on numerous
Premarket Approvals (PMAs) for various musculoskeletal, restorative
and general surgical devices since 2006.
Working
with MCRA, we submitted to FDA a de novo petition on July 23, 2016. Due
to the strong safety profile of our device and the efficacy of the
data showing statistical significance for wound closure for
dermaPACE subjects at 20 weeks, we believe that the dermaPACE
device should be considered for classification into Class II as
there is no legally marketed predicate device and there is not an
existing Class III classification regulation or one or more
approved PMAs (which would have required a reclassification under
Section 513(e) or (f)(3) of the FD&C Act). On December 28,
2017, the FDA determined that the criteria at section 513(a)(1)(A)
of (B) of the FD&C Act were met and granted the de novo clearance classifying dermaPACE
as Class II and available to be marketed immediately.
Finally, our
dermaPACE device has received the European CE Mark approval to
treat acute and chronic defects of the skin and subcutaneous soft
tissue, such as in the treatment of pressure ulcers, diabetic foot
ulcers, burns, and traumatic and surgical wounds. The dermaPACE is
also licensed for sale in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Korea.
We are
actively marketing the dermaPACE to the European Community, Canada
and Asia/Pacific, utilizing distributors in select
countries.
Clinical Studies
A
dosage study has been developed for launch in Poland to optimize
dermaPACE system treatment dosage for producing a more rapid
reduction in size of a diabetic foot ulcer
(“DFU”). The focus will be on increasing the
number of shock waves delivered per treatment, as a function of
DFUs area. To determine the dosage necessary, three new
distinctive regimens will be assessed during the study. This
study started in April 2019 and is expected to be finalized in the
first quarter of 2020.
-23-
A
post-market pilot study to evaluate the effects of high energy
acoustic shock wave therapy on local skin perfusion and healing of
DFUs will be conducted at two sites: one in New Jersey and one in
California. The intent of this trial is to quantify the level of
increased perfusion and oxygenation during and after treatment with
the dermaPACE system. This study started in April 2019 and is
expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2020.
Financial Overview
Since
our inception, we have incurred losses from operations each year.
As of September 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of
$123,002,883. Although the size and timing of our future operating
losses are subject to significant uncertainty, we anticipate that
our operating losses will continue over the next few years as we
incur expenses related to commercialization of our dermaPACE system
for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in the United States. If
we are able to successfully commercialize, market and distribute
the dermaPACE system, we hope to partially or completely offset
these losses in the future.
Our
operating losses and the events of default on the Company’s
short term notes payable, the Company’s convertible
promissory notes and the notes payable, related parties raised
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the
filing of this report. Although no assurances can be
given, we believe that potential additional issuances of equity,
debt or other potential financing will provide the necessary
funding for us to continue as a going concern for the next year.
See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further
information regarding our financial condition.
We
cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing and costs of the
efforts necessary to complete the development and approval of, or
the period in which material net cash flows are expected to be
generated from, any of our products, due to the numerous risks and
uncertainties associated with developing and marketing products,
including the uncertainty of:
●
the scope, rate of
progress and cost of our clinical trials;
●
future clinical
trial results;
●
the cost and timing
of regulatory approvals;
●
the establishment
of successful marketing, sales and distribution channels and
partnerships, including our efforts to expand our marketing, sales
and distribution reach through joint ventures and other contractual
arrangements;
●
the cost and timing
associated with establishing reimbursement for our
products;
●
the effects of
competing technologies and market developments; and
●
the industry demand
and patient wellness behavior.
Any
failure to complete the development of our product candidates in a
timely manner, or any failure to successfully market and
commercialize our product candidates, would have a material adverse
effect on our operations, financial position and liquidity. A
discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with us and
our business are set forth under the section entitled “Risk
Factors – Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed
with the SEC on April 1, 2019.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those
related to the recording of the allowances for doubtful accounts,
estimated reserves for inventory, estimated useful life of property
and equipment, the determination of the valuation allowance for
deferred taxes, the estimated fair value of the warrant liability,
and the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation. We base
our estimates on authoritative literature and pronouncements,
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. The results of our operations
for any historical period are not necessarily indicative of the
results of our operations for any future period.
-24-
While
our significant accounting policies are more fully described in
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements filed with our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,
filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019, we believe that the following
accounting policies relating to revenue recognition, liabilities
related to warrants issued, and stock-based compensation are
significant and; therefore, they are important to aid you in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial
results.
Revenue Recognition
Sales
of medical devices, including related applicators and applicator
kits, are recognized when shipped to the customer. Shipments under
agreements with distributors are invoiced at a fixed price, are not
subject to return, and payment for these shipments is not
contingent on sales by the distributor. We recognize revenues on
shipments to distributors in the same manner as with other
customers. The initial warranty and extended warranty on the sale
of medical devices will be deferred and recognized over time as the
performance obligation is satisfied. Fees from services performed
are recognized when the service is performed. License fee for
refurbishment of applicators will be recognized at the time the
customer is granted the license to refurbish the applicators.
Revenue will be calculated using the transaction price that
represents the most likely consideration to be received for the
license times the number of licenses issued. Fees for upfront
distribution license agreements will be recognized on a straight
line basis based on the payment schedule in the
contract.
Stock-based Compensation
The
Stock Incentive Plan provides that stock options, and other equity
interests or equity-based incentives, may be granted to key
personnel, directors and advisors at the fair value of the common
stock at the time the option is granted, which is approved by our
board of directors. The maximum term of any option granted pursuant
to the Stock Incentive Plan is ten years from the date of
grant.
The
fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected terms of
options granted represent the period of time that options granted
are estimated to be outstanding and are derived from the
contractual terms of the options granted. We amortize the fair
value of each option over each option’s vesting
period.
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2019
and 2018
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2019 were $197,640, compared to
$595,789 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $398,149, or
67%. Revenue resulted primarily from sales in Europe and
Asia/Pacific of our orthoPACE devices and related applicators. The
decrease in revenue for 2019 is primarily due to a return of sales
of devices and applicators as a result of the termination of
distribution deal with Johnfk Medical Inc. (“FKS”),
lower sales of refurbished applicators and lower upfront
international distribution fees, as compared to the prior year.
This is partially offset by device sales in
Asia/Pacific.
Cost of
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were
$122,923 compared to $183,594 for the same period in 2018. Gross
profit as a percentage of revenues was 38% for the three months
ended September 30, 2019, compared to 69% for the same period in
2018. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues in
2019 was primarily due to the cost of building new and refurbished
dermaPACE applicators in the United States as a result of
placements.
-25-
Research and Development Expenses
Research and
development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019
were $299,903, compared to $622,152 for the same period in
2018, a decrease of $322,249, or 52%. The decrease in research and
development expenses in 2019, as compared to 2018, was due to a
reclassification of employees and related costs from research and
development to general and administrative in 2019 and lower stock
based compensation expense as compared to prior year. This is
partially offset by an increase in contracting for temporary
services and increased study expenses related to our new dosage
study in Poland.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling
and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2019 were $335,472, compared to $210,654 for the same period
in 2018, an increase of $124,818, or 59%. The increase in selling
and marketing expenses in 2019, as compared to 2018, was due to an
increase in hiring of trainers and salespeople, increased travel
expenses for placement and training related to the
commercialization of dermaPACE and increased participation in
domestic tradeshows.
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2019 were $1,802,659, as compared to $2,244,036 for the same
period in 2018, a decrease of $441,377, or 20%. The decrease in
general and administrative expenses in 2019, as compared to 2018,
was due to a decrease in stock based compensation expense related
to options issued in 2018, lease expense related to pay-off of
lease agreement for devices in 2018 and lower investor relations
costs. This is partially offset by an increase in salary, bonus and
benefits related to new hires in 2018.
Depreciation
Depreciation for
the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $22,338, compared to
$5,709 for the same period in 2018, an increase of $16,629, or
291%. The increase was due to the higher depreciation related to
increase in fixed assets.
Other Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) was a net expense of $362,363 for the three months
ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a net income of
$1,845,214 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of
$2,207,577, or 120%, in the net other income. The decrease was
primarily due to decreased interest expense, beneficial conversion
discount and debt discount related to the convertible promissory
notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2017 and first quarter of
2018. This is partially offset by a non-cash gain for valuation
adjustment on outstanding warrants of $0, as compared to $2,241,008
for the same period in 2018.
Net Loss
Net
loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $2,748,018,
or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$825,142, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the same
period in 2018, an increase in the net loss of $1,922,876, or
233%.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2019
and 2018
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $692,579, compared to
$1,393,271 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $700,692, or
50%. Revenue resulted primarily from sales in Europe of our
orthoPACE devices and related applicators, sales in the United
States of our dermaPACE applicators and upfront distribution fee
from our Southeast Asia distribution agreement with FKS. The
decrease in revenue for 2019 is primarily due to a decrease in
sales of orthoPACE devices in Asia/Pacific and the European
Community and sales of dermaPACE devices in the United States, a
return of sales of devices and applicators as a result of the
termination of distribution deal with FKS, lower sales of new and
refurbished applicators and reduced upfront distribution fee, as
compared to the prior year.
-26-
Cost of
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $402,657
compared to $515,703 for the same period in 2018. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues was 42% for the nine months ended September
30, 2019, compared to 63% for the same period in 2018. The decrease
in gross profit as a percentage of revenues in 2019 was primarily
due to the cost of new and refurbished dermaPACE devices and
applicators in the United States as a result of
placements.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and
development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019
were $867,825, compared to $1,339,933 for the same period in
2018, a decrease of $472,108, or 35%. The decrease in research and
development expenses in 2019, as compared to 2018, was due to a
reclassification of employees and related costs from research and
development to general and administrative in 2019 and lower stock
based compensation expense for stock options issued to employees.
This is partially offset by an increase in contracting for
temporary services and increased study expenses related to our new
dosage study in Poland.
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling
and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019
were $901,031, compared to $268,051 for the same period in
2018, an increase of $632,980, or 236%. The increase in sales and
marketing expenses in 2019, as compared to 2018, was due to an
increase in hiring of trainers and salespeople, increased travel
expenses for placement and training related to the
commercialization of dermaPACE and increased participation in
domestic and international tradeshows.
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2019 were $4,746,519, as compared to $5,163,044 for the same period
in 2018, a decrease of $416,525, or 8%. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses in 2019, as compared to 2018, was due to
decrease in stock based compensation expense related to option
issued in 2018, lease expense related to pay-off of lease agreement
for devices in 2018 and lower recruitment costs. This is partially
offset by an increase in salary, bonus and benefits related to new
hires in 2018.
Depreciation
Depreciation for
the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $40,151, compared to
$16,733 for the same period in 2018, an increase of $23,418, or
140%. The increase was due to the higher depreciation related to an
increase in fixed assets.
Other Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) was a net expense of $1,414,162 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a net expense of
$3,656,693 for the same period in 2018, a decrease of
$2,242,531, or 61%, in the net expense. The decrease was primarily
due to decreased interest expense, beneficial conversion discount
and debt discount related to the convertible promissory notes
issued in the fourth quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2018. In
addition, the net expense in 2019 included a non-cash gain for
valuation adjustment on outstanding warrants of $227,669, as
compared to a non-cash gain for valuation adjustment on outstanding
warrants of $428,846 in 2018.
Net Loss
Net
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $7,679,766,
or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$9,570,056, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, for the same
period in 2018, a decrease in the net loss of $1,890,291, or 20%.
The decrease in the net loss was primarily a result of a decrease
in other income (expense), partially offset by an increase in our
operating expenses as described above.
-27-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We
expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of
the dermaPACE System and will continue to research and develop the
non-medical uses of the PACE technology, both of which will require
additional capital resources. We incurred a net loss of $7,679,766
for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $11,631,394 for
the year ended December 31, 2018. These factors along with the
events of default on the notes payable to HealthTronics, Inc., the
Company’s convertible promissory notes and the
Company’s short term notes payable create substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
for a period of at least twelve months from the financial issuance
date.
Since
inception in 2005, our operations have primarily been funded from
the sale of capital stock and convertible debt
securities.
We have
entered into short term notes payable with twenty-four individuals
between June 26, 2018 and April 10, 2019 in the total principal
amount of $2,835,525 with an interest rate of 5% per annum. The
principal and accrued interest are due and payable six months from
the date of issuance or receipt of notice of warrant exercise. On
December 26, 2018, the Company defaulted on the short term notes
payable issued on June 26, 2018 and began accruing interest at the
default interest rate of 10%. On January 2, 2019, the Company
defaulted on the short term notes payable issued on July 2, 2018
and began accruing interest at the default interest rate of 10%. On
January 30, 2019, the Company defaulted on the short term notes
payable issued on July 30, 2018 and began accruing interest at the
default interest rate of 10%. In May 2019, the Company defaulted on
the short term notes payable issued during November 2018 and began
accruing interest at the default rate of 10%. On June 30, 2019, the
Company defaulted on the short term notes payable issued on
December 31, 2018 and began accruing interest at the default
interest rate of 10% in July 2019.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon
raising additional capital to fund operations. Management expects
the cash used in operations for the Company will be approximately
$275,000 to $350,000 per month for the remainder of 2019 as
resources are devoted to the commercialization of the dermaPACE
product including hiring of new employees, expansion of our
international business and continued research and development of
non-medical uses of our technology. Management’s plans are to obtain additional
capital in 2019 through investments by strategic partners for
market opportunities, which may include strategic partnerships or
licensing arrangements, or raise capital through the conversion of
outstanding warrants, issuance of common or preferred stock,
securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured
debt. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms
that result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders.
In addition, there can be no assurances that our plans to obtain
additional capital will be successful on the terms or timeline we
expect, or at all. A $400,000 fee we anticipated receiving in April
2019 from FKS under the terms of a June 2018 agreement has not been
received to date, and on June 4, 2019, we entered into an agreement
with FKS and Holistic Wellness Alliance Pte. Ltd.
(“HWA”) pursuant to which we and FKS terminated the
joint venture agreement, dated as of September 21, 2018, that
established HWA as a joint venture between us and FKS. Pursuant to
such agreement, FKS will pay us the outstanding amount of $63,275
for equipment delivered to FKS and a penalty fee of $50,000 for
early termination of the joint venture agreement. We received a
partial payment of $10,000 for the early termination of the joint
venture agreement on July 18, 2019. We received the remaining
balance of $40,000 for the early termination of the joint venture
agreement on September 3, 2019. The $63,275 due for equipment
delivered to FKS was reversed, along with the associated revenue
when the equipment was returned on September 6, 2019.
Although no assurances can be given, management believes that
potential additional issuances of equity or other potential
financing transactions as discussed above should provide the
necessary funding for us. If these
efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to significantly
curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds through financing
transactions with unfavorable terms. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do
not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement
values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of
assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be
necessary should we be unable to continue as a going
concern.
-28-
In
addition, we may have potential liability for certain sales, offers
or issuances of equity securities of the Company in possible
violation of federal securities laws. Pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-208676), declared
effective on February 16, 2016 (the “2016 Registration
Statement”), the Company sought to register: a primary
offering of up to $4,000,000 units, the Common Stock included as
part of the units, the warrants included as part of the units, and
the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants; a primary
offering of up to $400,000 placement agent warrants and the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of such placement agent warrants; and
a secondary offering of 23,545,144 shares of Common Stock held by
certain selling stockholders named in the 2016 Registration
Statement. The SEC Staff’s interpretations provide that, when
an issuer is registering units composed of common stock, common
stock purchase warrants, and the common stock underlying the
warrants, the registration fee is based on the offer price of the
units and the exercise price of the warrants. The registration fee
paid did include the fee based on the offer price of the units,
allocated to the unit line item in the fee table. Although the fee
table in the 2016 Registration Statement included a line item for
the Common Stock underlying the warrants, the Company did not
include in that line item the fee payable based on the exercise
price of $0.08 per share for such warrants, which amount should
have been allocated to such line item based on the SEC
Staff’s interpretations. As a result, a portion of the
securities intended to be registered by the 2016 Registration
Statement was not registered. In addition, in a post-effective
amendment to the 2016 Registration Statement filed on September 23,
2016, too many placement agent warrants were inadvertently
deregistered. The post-effective amendment stated that the Company
had issued $180,100, based on 2,251,250 Class L warrants issued
with a $0.08 exercise price of warrants to the placement agent and
therefore deregistered $219,900, based on 2,748,750 Class L
warrants issued with a $0.08 exercise price of placement agent
warrants from the $400,000, based on 5,000,000 Class L warrants
issued with a $0.08 exercise price total offering amount included
in the Registration Statement. The actual warrants issued to the
placement agent totaled $240,133.36, based on 3,001,667 Class L
warrants issued with a $0.08 exercise price, and only $159,867,
based on 1,998,338 Class L warrants issued with a $0.08 exercise
price should have been deregistered in such post-effective
amendment. To the extent that we have not registered or failed to
maintain an effective registration statement with respect to any of
the transactions in securities described above and with respect to
our ongoing offering of shares of Common Stock underlying the
warrants, and a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act did in
fact occur or is occurring, eligible holders of our securities that
participated in these offerings would have a right to rescind their
transactions, and the Company may have to refund any amounts paid
for the securities, which could have a materially adverse effect on
the Company’s financial condition. Eligible securityholders
have not filed a claim against the Company alleging a violation of
Section 5 of the Securities Act with respect to these transactions,
but they could file a claim in the future. Furthermore, the ongoing
offering of and issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying
certain of our warrants from the 2016 Registration Statement may
have been, and may continue to be, in violation of Section 5 of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations under the Securities
Act, because we did not update the prospectus in the 2016
Registration Statement for a period of time after the 2016
Registration Statement was declared effective and because our
reliance on Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act in an amendment to
our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No.
333-213774) filed on September 23, 2016 effected a deregistration
of the securities registered under the 2016 Registration Statement.
Eligible securityholders have not filed a claim against the Company
alleging a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, but they
could file such a claim in the future. If a violation of Section 5
of the Securities Act did in fact occur or is occurring, eligible
securityholders would have a right to rescind their transactions,
and the Company may have to refund any amounts paid the securities,
which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s
financial condition.
We may
also attempt to raise additional capital if there are favorable
market conditions or other strategic considerations even if we have
sufficient funds for planned operations. To the extent that we
raise additional funds by issuance of equity securities, our
shareholders will experience dilution and we may be required to use
some or all of the net proceeds to repay our indebtedness, and debt
financings, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or may
otherwise constrain our financial flexibility. To the extent that
we raise additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it
may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our intellectual
property or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
In addition, payments made by potential collaborators or licensors
generally will depend upon our achievement of negotiated
development and regulatory milestones. Failure to achieve these
milestones would harm our future capital position.

Cash
and cash equivalents increased by $38,107 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 and decreased by $657,873 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30,
2019 and 2018, net cash used by operating activities was $4,684,611
and $2,271,566, respectively, primarily consisting of compensation
costs, dermaPACE commercialization activities and general corporate
operations. The increase of $2,413,045 in the use of cash for
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019,
as compared to the same period for 2018, was primarily due to the
increased accrued operating and payroll related expenses and
increased inventory and prepaid expenses in 2019. Net cash used by
investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019
and 2018, consisted of purchase of property and equipment of
$28,990 and $32,171, respectively. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was
$4,738,556, which consisted of $2,055,414 from the exercise of
warrants, $1,215,000 from the issuance of short term notes payable,
$1,378,142 from an advance from related parties and $90,000 net
increase in line of credit, related parties. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018
was $1,663,063, which consisted of $144,000 net from advances from
related parties, $38,528 from exercise of warrants, $1,159,785 from
the issuance of convertible promissory notes, $184,750 from
issuance of short term notes payable and $136,000 net from increase
in line of credit, related party.
Segment and Geographic Information
We have
determined that we have one operating segment. Our revenues are
generated from sales in United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and
Asia/Pacific. All significant expenses are generated in the United
States and all significant assets are located in the United
States.
Contractual Obligations
Our
major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our operating
lease for our facility, purchase and supplier obligations for
product component materials and equipment, and our notes payable,
related parties. We have disclosed these obligations in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2018, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since
inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities,
including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities
or variable interest entities.
Effects of Inflation
Due to
the fact that our assets are, to an extent, liquid in nature, they
are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of
inflation affects such expenses as employee compensation, office
space leasing costs and research and development charges, which may
not be readily recoverable during the period of time that we are
bringing the product candidates to market. To the extent inflation
results in rising interest rates and has other adverse effects on
the market, it may adversely affect our consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting
companies”.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including its
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer
(principal financial officer and accounting officer), of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. Based on this
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
operating effectively as of September 30, 2019. Our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective because of the
“material weakness” described below under
“Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting.”

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the
Company. The Company’s internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even
those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives.
Management,
with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (principal
executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal
financial and accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2018. In making this assessment, management used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework (2013).
A
“material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal
controls. As a result of its review, management concluded that we
had three material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting process. The first material weakness is due to
the lack of internal expertise and resources to analyze and
properly apply generally accepted accounting principles to complex
and non-routine transactions such as complex financial instruments
and derivatives and complex sales distribution agreements. The
second material weakness is due to the lack of internal resources
to analyze and properly apply generally accepted accounting
principles to accounting for equity components of service
agreements with select vendors. The third material weakness relates
to our information technology infrastructure. This material
weakness is due to cybersecurity breaches from email spoofing. As a
result, management concluded that our internal control over
reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2019.
Management’s Plan to Remediate Material
Weaknesses
Management
has developed a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses
related to its processes and procedures surrounding the accounting
for complex financial instruments and derivatives, accounting for
complex sales distribution agreements, accounting for equity
component of service agreements and ensuring that generally
accepted accounting principle disclosures are complete and
accurate. The remediation plan consists of, among other things,
engaging a third party financial reporting consulting firm to
assist the Company in its financial reporting compliance and
redesigning the procedures to enhance the identification, capture,
review, approval and recording of terms and components of complex
financial instruments and derivatives, complex sales distribution
agreements, and any equity components of service agreements as well
as identify necessary disclosures. Management has engaged a third
party consultant, who is a technical accounting professional, to
assist us in the interpretation and application of new and complex
accounting guidance. Management will continue to review and make
necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control
environment. These measures are intended both to address the
identified material weaknesses and to enhance our overall internal
control environment.
Management will
develop a remediation plan to address the material weakness related
to its information technology infrastructure. The remediation plan
will include, but not be limited to cybersecurity training for all
employees and redesign of procedures that cyber security breaches
may impact. Management is working with their third party IT vendor
to develop a training plan for all existing and new employees
related to cyber security to be implemented in the first quarter of
2020.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report that
materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting. Management is in the
process of designing updated changes to its controls as discussed
above in “Management’s Plan to Remediate Material
Weaknesses.”
