Organization

Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in April 1999 and was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in December 2006. The Company’s principal office was moved to Woodstock, Georgia from Petaluma, California in June 2020. The Company is a global healthcare leader for developing and producing stabilized hypochlorous acid (“HOCl”) products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, animal health care, eye care, oral care and dermatological conditions. The Company’s products reduce infections, itch, pain, scarring and harmful inflammatory responses in a safe and effective manner. In-vitro and clinical studies of HOCl show it to have impressive antipruritic, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. The Company’s stabilized HOCl immediately relieves itch and pain, kills pathogens and breaks down biofilm, does not sting or irritate skin and oxygenates the cells in the area treated assisting the body in its natural healing process. The Company sells its products either directly or via partners in 54 countries worldwide.

Impact of Coronavirus

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In an effort to mitigate the continued spread of the virus, federal, state and local governments, as well as certain private entities have mandated various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. As a result of these restrictions, together with a general fear of the impact on the global economy and financial markets, there is significant uncertainty surrounding the potential impact on the Company. As events are rapidly changing, the Company is unable to accurately predict the impact that the coronavirus will have on its business due to uncertainties including, but not limited to, the duration of quarantines and other travel restrictions within China, the U.S. and other affected countries, the ultimate geographical spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak and the public’s response to the outbreak.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2022 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2021, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on July 14, 2021.

The Company reported a net loss of $1,098,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company’s accumulated deficit amounted to $180,375,000 and $179,277,000, respectively. The Company had working capital of $6,924,000 and $8,905,000 as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

On June 24, 2020, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Micromed Laboratories division and testing facility, including all of Micromed’s assets, such as testing equipment, certain office furniture and customer list, with Infinity Labs SD Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $850,000. On the closing date, the Company received $610,000 in cash from this sale which was adjusted for working capital, a credit of $100,000 for future testing services from Infinity over the next two years in lieu of cash, and $60,000 held in escrow for one year, subject to adjustment for certain indemnity claims or purchase price adjustments. The Company also retained its accounts receivables outstanding on the date of closing in the amount of approximately $81,000 and an insignificant amount of liabilities. As part of the transaction, Infinity also assumed the Petaluma lease for the office and lab space. The Company retained the warehouse space to store inventory and assets until September 30, 2020.

On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,310,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), from Coastal States Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, “CARES Act”, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight or 24 weeks as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the Company terminated employees or reduced salaries during the applicable period.

The unsecured loan, which is in the form of a note dated April 29, 2020, matures on April 29, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on May 1, 2021. The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Company has used the loan amount for eligible purposes, such as payroll expenses. The Company has applied for forgiveness and is still waiting for the application to be processed and approved.

On May 29, June 1 and 2, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $1,490,000 from the exercise of November 2018 common stock purchase warrants by several investors.

Management believes that the Company has access to additional capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that other new financings will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed. If the economic climate in the U.S. deteriorates, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital could be negatively impacted. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the Company’s continued efforts to commercialize its products, which is critical to the realization of its business plan and the future operations of the Company. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed 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 disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, fair value allocation of assets sold to Invekra, Petagon, Microsafe and the estimated amortization periods of upfront product licensing fees received from customers. Periodically, the Company evaluates and adjusts estimates accordingly.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

The following table provides the net income (loss) for each period along with the computation of basic and diluted net income per share: 

The computation of basic income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 excludes the potentially dilutive securities summarized in the table below because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. 

Revenue Recognition

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), "Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topic 606” (“Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method. There was no material impact to the Company upon the adoption of Topic 606. Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under the agreement, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

The Company derives the majority of its revenue through sales of its products directly to end users and to distributors. The Company also sells products to a customer base, including hospitals, medical centers, doctors, pharmacies, distributors and wholesalers. The Company also has entered into agreements to license its technology and products. The Company also provides regulatory compliance testing and quality assurance services to medical device and pharmaceutical companies.

The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which are distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled.

For all of its sales to non-consignment distribution channels, revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e. when its performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs when title passes to the customer upon shipment but could occur when the customer receives the product based on the terms of the agreement with the customer. For product sales to its value-added resellers, non-stocking distributors and end-user customers, the Company grants return privileges to its customers, and because the Company has a long history with its customers, the Company is able to estimate the amount of product that will be returned.  Sales incentives and other programs that the Company may make available to these customers are considered to be a form of variable consideration, and the Company maintains estimated accruals and allowances using the expected value method.

The Company has entered into consignment arrangements, in which goods are left in the possession of another party to sell. As products are sold from the customer to third parties, the Company recognizes revenue based on a variable percentage of a fixed price.  Revenue recognized varies depending on whether a patient is covered by insurance or is not covered by insurance. In addition, the Company may incur a revenue deduction related to the use of the Company’s rebate program.

Sales to stocking distributors are made under terms with fixed pricing and limited rights of return (known as “stock rotation”) of the Company’s products held in their inventory. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon the transfer of control to the distributor.

The Company assessed the promised goods and services in the technical support to Invekra for a ten-year period as being a distinct service that Invekra can benefit from on its own and is separately identifiable from any other promises within the contract. Given that the distinct service is not substantially the same as other goods and services within the Invekra contract, the Company accounted for the distinct service as a performance obligation.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s disaggregated revenues by revenue source: 

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for cash discounts for prompt payment, doubtful accounts, and sales returns. Estimates for cash discounts and sales returns are based on analysis of contractual terms and historical trends.

The Company’s policy is to reserve for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Other factors that the Company considers include its existing contractual obligations, historical payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances, an analysis of days sales outstanding by customer and geographic region, and a review of the local economic environment and its potential impact on government funding and reimbursement practices. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents probable credit losses of $120,000 and $125,000 at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 the Company has allowances of $1,564,000 and $1,488,000 respectively, related to potential discounts, returns, distributor fees and rebates. The allowances are included in Accounts Receivable, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, cost being determined on a standard cost basis (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis), or net realizable value.

Due to changing market conditions, estimated future requirements, age of the inventories on hand and production of new products, the Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision to write down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The Company recorded a provision to reduce the carrying amounts of inventories to their net realizable value in the amount of $230,000 and $223,000 at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively, which is included in cost of product revenues on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. (See Note 13)

Recent Accounting Standards

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB, the SEC or other standard setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 4.        Sale of Assets to Infinity Labs SD, Inc. and Discontinued Operations

On June 24, 2020, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Micromed Laboratories division and testing facility, including all of Micromed’s assets, such as testing equipment, certain office furniture and customer list, with Infinity Labs SD Inc. (“Infinity”) for an aggregate purchase price of $850,000. On the closing date, the Company received $610,000 in cash from this sale which was adjusted for working capital, a credit of $100,000 for future testing services from Infinity over the next two years in lieu of cash, and $60,000 held in escrow for one year, subject to adjustment for certain indemnity claims or purchase price adjustments. The Company also retained its accounts receivables outstanding on the date of closing in the amount of approximately $81,000 and an insignificant amount of liabilities. As part of the transaction, Infinity also assumed the Petaluma lease for the office and lab space. The Company retained the warehouse space to store inventory and assets until September 30. 2020.

Accounting for the disposition

For accounting purposes, the Company determined that there was only one discrete component of the sale to Infinity. This component was the customer base and related services to be provided.

The Company determined an arm’s length selling price for each component of the sale and then allocated the net proceeds received to the components on a relative selling price basis. The Company estimated the selling prices of each component as described below:

Proceeds were allocated to the components of the sale based upon their relative selling prices are as follows: 

Discontinued operations

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the sale of certain assets related to our Micromed business. On June 24, 2020, we closed on an asset purchase agreement with Infinity Labs SD, Inc. We decided to divest our Micromed business, resulting in a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Therefore, the divested Micromed operations meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations.

There were no assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 includes $0 and $154,000, respectively, of gross profit reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations during the periods.

Gain on disposal of discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020, includes $795,000 of gain primarily from the value of the customer base of Micromed.

The following table summarizes our operations of the Micromed business included in discontinued operations: 

Inventories, net

Inventories, net consist of the following:  

The Company reserved $230,000 and $223,000 for obsolescence at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Leases

The Company's operating leases are comprised primarily of facility leases. The Company did not have any finance leases as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021. Balance sheet information related to our leases is presented below: 

Other information related to leases is presented below:

As of June 30, 2021, the annual minimum lease payments of our operating lease liabilities were as follows: 

Legal Matters

The Company may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition of comprehensive loss.

Employment Agreements

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had employment agreements in place with two of its key executives. These executive employment agreements provide, among other things, for the payment of up to twelve months of severance compensation for terminations under certain circumstances. With respect to these agreements, at June 30, 2021, aggregated annual salaries would be $550,000 and potential severance payments to these key executives would be $550,000 if triggered.

Related Party Transactions

Ms. Trombly was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Ms. Trombly is the owner of Trombly Business Law, PC which has been retained by the Company to advise on certain corporate and securities law matters. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $50,000 and $63,000, respectively, in legal services from Trombly Business Law, PC.

Financing of Insurance Premiums

On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into a note agreement for $584,000 with an interest rate of 4.98% per annum with final payment on October 1, 2021. This instrument was issued in connection with financing insurance premiums. The note is payable in three quarterly installment payments of principal and interest of $199,000, with the first installment beginning April 1, 2021.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,310,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), from Coastal States Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, “CARES Act”, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight or 24 weeks as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the Company terminated employees or reduced salaries during the applicable period.

The unsecured loan, which is in the form of a note dated April 29, 2020, matures on April 29, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on May 1, 2021. The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Company has used the loan amount for eligible purposes, such as payroll expenses. The Company applied for forgiveness and is still waiting for the application to be processed and approved.

Authorized Capital

The Company is authorized to issue up to 24,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 714,286 shares of convertible preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Stock-based compensation expense is as follows: 

At June 30, 2021, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $566,752 related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average amortization period of 2.52 years.

At June 30, 2021, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $2,522 related to restricted stock which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average amortization period of 0.22 years.

Stock options award activity is as follows: 

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock, or $7.34 per share at June 30, 2021.

Restricted stock award activity is as follows: 

The Company did not capitalize any cost associated with stock-based compensation.

The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options or release of restricted stock awards.

The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock-based awards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Company only recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. To date, the Company has not recognized such tax benefits in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within twelve months of June 30, 2021. The unrecognized tax benefits may increase or change during the next year for items that arise in the ordinary course of business.

The Company generates revenues from products which are sold into the human and animal healthcare markets.

The following table shows the Company’s revenues by geographic region: 

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, one customer represented 15% and another comprised 22% of net revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, one customer represented 39% of net revenue.

At June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, no customer represented more than 10% of the net accounts receivable balance.

Our Business

We are a global healthcare leader for developing and producing stabilized hypochlorous acid, or HOCl, products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, animal health care, eye care, oral care, disinfectant use and dermatological conditions. Our products reduce infections, itch, pain, scarring and harmful inflammatory responses in a safe and effective manner. In-vitro and clinical studies of HOCl show it to have impressive antipruritic, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Our stabilized HOCl immediately relieves itch and pain, kills pathogens and breaks down biofilm, does not sting or irritate skin and oxygenates the cells in the area treated assisting the body in its natural healing process. We sell our products either directly or via partners in 54 countries worldwide.

Business Channels

Our core market differentiation is based on being the leading developer and producer of stabilized hypochlorous acid, or HOCl, solutions. Unlike many of our competitors, we have been in business for over 20 years and in that time, we have developed significant scientific knowledge of how best to develop and manufacture HOCl products backed by decades of studies and data collection. HOCl is known to be among the safest and most-effective ways to relieve itch, inflammation and burns while stimulating natural healing through increased oxygenation and eliminating persistent microorganisms and biofilms.

We sell our products into many markets both in the U.S. and internationally. In international markets, we ship products to 54 countries. Our core strategy is to work with partners both in the United States and around the world to market and distribute our products. In some cases, we market and sell our own products.

Dermatology

Sonoma Dermatology has developed unique, differentiated, prescription-strength and safe dermatologic products that support paths to healing among various key dermatologic conditions. Our products are primarily targeted at the treatment of acne, the management of scars and atopic dermatitis. We are strategically focused on introducing innovative new products that are supported by human clinical data with applications that address specific dermatological procedures currently in demand. In addition, we look for markets where we can provide effective product line extensions and pricing to new product families.

In the United States, we partnered with EMC Pharma, LLC to sell our prescription products for an initial term of five years, subject to meeting minimum purchase and other requirements. Pursuant to our agreement with EMC Pharma, we manufacture products for EMC Pharma and EMC Pharma markets, sells and distributes them to patients and customers.

We sell dermatology products in Europe, Asia, and Brazil through a distributor network. In these international markets, we have a network of partners, ranging from country specific distributors to large pharmaceutical companies to full-service sales and marketing companies. We work with our international partners to create products they can market in their home country. Some products we develop and manufacture are private label while others use branding we have already developed. We have created or co-developed a wide range of products for international markets using our core HOCl technology.

First Aid and Wound Care

In the United States, we sell our wound care products directly to hospitals, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners. In March 2021, we granted EMC Pharma the non-exclusive right to sell wound care products to certain governmental entities.

To respond to market demand for our HOCl technology-based products, we launched our first direct to consumer over the counter product in the United States in February 2021. Microcyn® OTC Wound and Skin Cleanser is formulated for home use without prescription to help manage and cleanse wounds, minor cuts, and burns, including sunburns and other skin irritations. Microcyn® OTC Wound and Skin Cleanser is available without prescription through Sonoma’s online store. It is also available as a prescription product through physicians.

In Europe, we rely on agreements with country-specific distributors for the sale of our wound care products under a variety of brand names into 27 countries, including Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Spain, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, Finland, Denmark, Montenegro and Serbia.

In March 2021, we received approval to market and use our HOCl products as biocides under Article 95 of the European Biocidal Products Regulation in France, Germany and Portugal. The approval applies to our products MucoClyns™ for human hygiene to be marketed and commercialized by us, MicrocynAH® for animal heath marketed and commercialized through our partner, Petagon Limited, and Microsafe for disinfectant use to be marketed and commercialized through our partner, MicroSafe Group Dubai.

Our HOCl-based wound care products are intended for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds as well as first-and second-degree burns. Their primary mode of action involves the mechanical removal of cellular debris, senescent cells, necrotic tissue, and foreign material from the skin and wound surface using a moistened dressing along with irrigation. Removal of these materials through these actions is known to decrease infection rates and improve wound healing. The secondary mode of action is a function of the antimicrobial properties of HOCl and its salt, hypochlorite. These ancillary medicinal substances which are present in very low, non-toxic amounts, assist in the removal of microorganisms. Since HOCl is an important constituent of our innate immune system and is formed and released by the macrophages during phagocytosis, it is advantageous to other wound-irrigation and antiseptic solutions as highly organized cell structures such as human tissue can tolerate the action of our wound care solution while single-celled microorganisms cannot. Due to its unique chemistry, our wound treatment solution is much more stable than similar products on the market and therefore maintains much higher levels of hypochlorous acid over its shelf life.

Oral, Nasal and Eye Care

Our product Acuicyn™ is an antimicrobial prescription solution for the treatment of blepharitis and the daily hygiene of eyelids and lashes and helps manage red, itchy, crusty and inflamed eyes. It is strong enough to kill the bacteria that causes discomfort, fast enough to provide near instant relief, and gentle enough to use as often as needed. In the United States, our partner EMC Pharma is selling our prescription-based eye care product through its distribution network.

On May 19, 2020, we entered into a new license and distribution agreement with our existing partner, Brill International S.L. for our Microdacyn60® Eye Care HOCl-based product. Under the new license and distribution agreement, Brill has the right to market and distribute our eye care product under the private label Ocudox™ in Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, and the United Kingdom for a period of 10 years, subject to meeting annual minimum sales quantities. In return, Brill will pay us a one-time fee, and the agreed upon supply prices. Previously, under the old license and distribution agreement dated August 1, 2018, Brill marketed our eye care product only in Spain and Portugal. In parts of Asia, Dyamed Biotech markets our eye product under the private label Ocucyn.

In the United States, on December 14, 2020, we partnered with Gabriel Science, LLC to market our HOCl-based products in the dental, head and neck markets and launched Endocyn®, a biocompatible root canal irrigant. Internationally, our product Microdacyn60® Oral Care treats mouth and throat infections and thrush. Microdacyn60 solution assists in reducing inflammation, pain, soothing cough relief and does not contain any harmful chemicals. It does not stain teeth, is non-irritating, non-sensitizing, has no contraindications and is ready for use with no mixing or dilution. In New Zealand and Australia, our partner Te Arai BioFarma Ltd. markets our oral product under their label Oracyn® Oral Care.

Our international nasal care product Sinudox™ based on our HOCl technology is a solution intended for nasal irrigation. Sinudox Hypotonic Nasal Hygiene clears and cleans a blocked nose, stuffy nose and sinuses by ancillary ingredients that may have a local antimicrobial effect. Sinudox is sold through Amazon in Europe. In New Zealand and Australia, our partner Te Arai markets our nasal product under their label Nasocyn® Nasal Care.

Animal Health Care

MicrocynAH® is a HOCl-based topical product that cleans, debrides and treats a wide spectrum of animal wounds and infections. It is intended for the safe and rapid treatment of a variety of animal afflictions including cuts, burns, lacerations, rashes, hot spots, rain rot, post-surgical sites, pink eye symptoms and wounds to the outer ear of any animal.

For our animal health products sold in the U.S. and Canada, we partnered with Manna Pro Products, LLC to bring relief to pets and peace of mind to their owners. Manna Pro distributes non-prescription products to national pet-store retail chains, farm animal specialty stores, in the United States and Canada, such as Chewy.com, PetSmart and Tractor Supply. Most recently, we expanded our animal health product offerings by adding a MicrocynAH line for felines at PetSmart.

For the Asian and European markets, on May 20, 2019, we partnered with Petagon, Limited, an international importer and distributor of quality pet food and products for an initial term of five years. We supply Petagon with all MicrocynAH products sold by Petagon. On August 3, 2020, Petagon received a license from the People’s Republic of China for the import of veterinary drug products manufactured by us. This is the highest classification Petagon and Sonoma can receive for animal health products in China.

Surface Disinfectants

In-vitro and clinical studies of HOCl show it to have impressive antipruritic, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. HOCl has been formulated as a disinfectant and sanitizer solution for our partner MicroSafe Group, Dubai, and is sold in numerous countries. It is designed to be used to spray in aerosol format, to areas and environments which are suspected to serve as a breeding ground for the spread of infectious disease, likely to result in epidemics or pandemics. The medical-grade surface disinfectant solution is used in hospitals worldwide to keep doctors and patients protected and safe. In May 2020, Nanocyn® Disinfectant & Sanitizer, received approval to be entered into the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, or ARTG, as well as in Canada, for use against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, or COVID-19. Nanocyn has also met the stringent environmental health and social/ethical criteria of Good Environmental Choice Australia, or GECA, becoming one of the very few eco-certified, all-natural disinfectant solutions in Australia.

Through our partner Microsafe Group DMCC, Dubai, we sell hard surface disinfectant products into Europe, the Middle East and Australia. On July 31, 2020, we partnered with MicroSafe Group to seek regulatory approval in the United States to sell hard surface disinfectants in the United States. To date, we have not received such regulatory approval.

Additional Information

Investors and others should note that we announce material financial information using our company website (www.sonomapharma.com), our investor relations website (ir.sonomapharma.com), SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. The information on, or accessible through, our websites is not incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Continuing Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Revenue

The following table shows our consolidated total revenue and revenue by geographic region for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

The decrease in United States revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in the prior year of ($28,000), is primarily the result of a decrease in dermatology revenue as the result of the associated restructuring of our sales team in response to COVID-19 and a decrease in eye care revenue. This decrease was mostly offset by revenue for wound care products and other indications increasing by 41% from the prior year, and by increases in revenue for our animal care products of $438,000.

As a result of the asset purchase agreement and arrangement we entered into on October 27, 2016 with Invekra, we were obligated to supply Invekra with product at a reduced price through October 27, 2020. We processed orders from Invekra through March 2021 and we expect fewer future orders as Invekra transitions to their own manufacturing. We continue to manufacture for Invekra after March 2021 in smaller amounts as an overflow manufacturer. However, we charged market prices for manufacturing after October 27, 2020. The decrease in revenue in Latin America was the result of the Invekra revenue declining to $565,000 from $2.2 million in the prior year. We expect this trend of reduced Invekra revenue to continue going forward.

The decline in Europe and Rest of World revenue was the result of a decline in revenue from Brill because they started up in the first quarter of last year and made significant start-up orders.

 Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

The cost of revenue and gross profit metrics are as follows:

Research and Development Expense

The research and development metrics are as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, research and development expenses decreased as a result the closure of our research and development facility in Seattle, Washington and its relocation to our facility in Mexico.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

The selling, general and administrative expense metrics are as follows:

The decline in Selling, General and Administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was the result of result of reduction in sales force as a result of EMC transaction. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a % of revenue was the result of the decline in revenue.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $3,000 increased by $1,000, or 33%, when compared to $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $2,000 remained flat, when compared to $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Other (Expense) Income

Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $193,000 increased by $72,000 when compared to other expense of $121,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in other income relates primarily to fluctuations in foreign exchange.

Gain on Sale of Assets

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we reported no income related to the sale of assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we reported income related to the sale of certain assets to Infinity in the amount of $77,000.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations

Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $1,098,000 increased by $390,000, or 55% when compared to loss from continuing operations of $709,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Results of Discontinued Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the sale of certain assets related to our Micromed business. On June 24, 2020, we closed on an asset purchase agreement with Infinity Labs SD, Inc. We decided to divest our Micromed business, resulting in a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Therefore, the divested Micromed operations meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations.

The related assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows for our Micromed business are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 includes zero and $154,000, respectively, of gross profit reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations during the periods.

Gain on disposal of discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020, includes $795,000 of gain primarily from the value of the customer base of Micromed.

The following table summarizes our operations of the Micromed business included in discontinued operations:

Net Income (Loss)

The following table provides the net income (loss) for each period along with the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We reported a net loss of $1,098,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, our accumulated deficit amounted to $180,375,000 and $179,277,000 respectively. We had working capital of $6,924,000 and $8,905,000 as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

We expect revenues to fluctuate and may incur losses in the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital.

Management believes that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means; however, we cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the economic climate in the U.S. deteriorates, our ability to raise additional capital could be negatively impacted. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in our continued efforts to commercialize our products, which is critical to the realization of our business plan and our future operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,811,000. Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through sales of equity securities. Other sources of financing that we have used to date include our revenues, as well as various loans and the sale of certain assets to Invekra, Petagon, Microsafe and Infinity Labs.

Since July 1, 2020, substantially all of our operations have been financed through the following transactions:

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our consolidated cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 as well balances of cash and cash equivalents and working capital:

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,811,000, compared to $4,551,000 as of June 30, 2020.

Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $1,223,000, primarily due to a net loss of $1,098,000 and an increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $2,291,000, primarily due to an increase in inventories of $1,945,000, a decrease in accrued expenses of $947,000 and an increase in accounts receivables of $278,000 in the period. These uses were partially offset by net income of $240,000 and an increase in accounts payable of $1,660,000.

Net cash used in investing activities was $49,000 for three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily related to the purchase of equipment.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $554,000 for three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of our Micromed division of $610,000 partially offset by the purchase of equipment. 

Net cash used in financing activities was $209,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily related to principal payments on long-term debt of $199,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,584,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to proceeds from the exercise of common stock purchase warrants of $1,490,000, PPP loans of $1,310,000, partially offset by principal payments on long-term debt of $216,000.

Material Trends and Uncertainties

On March 26, 2021, we entered into an agreement with EMC Pharma, LLC for the exclusive right to manage, market and distribute Sonoma’s HOCl based prescription dermatology and eye care products in the United States for an initial term of five years, subject to extension. As a result of this arrangement, starting in the three months ended September 30, 2021 we expect our revenue from these products to decline because the transfer price that EMC Pharma, LLC pays will be lower than the prices we received for these products when we sold them ourselves. We further expect to have significantly lower operating costs as the result of not having a direct sales force and the operational costs associated with servicing that revenue, as well as no longer providing rebates. We expect the cost reductions to be greater than the decline in revenue and expect this transaction to improve our overall financial performance.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, revenue from sales to our Latin America partner Invekra amounted to approximately 15% and 39% of our revenues, respectively. As previously disclosed, we had an agreement with Invekra that obligated us to provide manufacturing for Invekra at reduced prices close to our cost through October 27, 2020. Since that contract ended, we believe Invekra has established their own manufacturing however Invekra has continued to place overflow orders with us. These orders have been at a much lower volume than during the contract term ended October 27, 2020, but at a higher margin as we are no longer obligated to provide low-cost manufacturing. We may continue to sell product to Invekra at prices commensurate with the market. Invekra has remained as a significant customer even after the contract expired.

As we have previously discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2021, we face a substantial Mexico tax liability, intercompany debt, unpaid technical assistance charges and accrued interest. These amounts are not due until 2027. We have engaged tax professionals to review all options to limit our exposure to these amounts and to proceed in a manner that is most advantageous to the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, debt discounts, valuation of investments and the estimated amortization periods of upfront product licensing fees received from customers.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

As a smaller reporting company, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021. We concluded this because of the errors we found in the Form 10-Q filing from June 30, 2020 that were restated in our 10-Q/A that was filed on November 17, 2020. We also found an error on withholding taxes for our Mexico entity which resulted in a correction in our 10-K that was filed on July 14, 2021. We have determined that there were inadequate spreadsheet controls, a lack of separation of duties with preparation and review of the reported numbers, and inadequate analysis of revenue reporting among other things. We also determined that we had inadequate review of tax consequences of our intercompany transactions that was determined when we did a tax planning exercise with a tax consultant.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management’s Remediation Measures

Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, is actively engaged in remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses identified in the management’s evaluation of internal controls and procedures. Management has taken a number of actions to remediate the material weaknesses described above, including the following:

These improvements are targeted at strengthening the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remediating the material weaknesses. We remain committed to an effective internal control environment and management believes that these actions and the improvements management expects to achieve as a result, will effectively remediate the material weaknesses. However, the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing that these controls operate effectively. As of the date of filing this Form 10-Q, management is in the process of testing and evaluating these additional controls to determine whether they are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses discussed above were subsequently identified and will result in future mitigation activities.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

On occasion, we may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of comprehensive loss.

There have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC July 14, 2021.

We did not issue any unregistered securities during the quarter ended April 31, 2021 and through August 13, 2021.

We did not default upon any senior securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Not applicable.
