ARTVENTIVE MEDICAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by ArtVentive Medical Group, Inc. and its Subsidiary, ArtVentive Medical Group, Canada Inc., (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the“Exchange Act”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2016 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, or any other period.


NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION


The Company is a medical device company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing a family of endoluminal occlusion devices, known as the Endoluminal Occlusion System (EOS™).  Through its patented technology, the Company has developed minimally invasive occlusion devices and procedures capable of achieving immediate, complete, and permanent occlusion of peripheral vasculature.  EOS™ was developed by the Company and serves as a proprietary technology platform for several major clinical areas including peripheral and neurological vascular disorders, women's health, interventional oncology and cardiology procedures.


The Company was incorporated on January 23, 2007.  The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.  To date, the Company’s activities have been committed to the development of EOS™, intellectual property, animal studies, human studies, patent filings, and developing a regulatory strategy for initial clinical indications pertinent to European, manufacturing and FDA submissions and approvals, corporate operations and the raising of equity capital.  The Company conducted the required human clinical studies during 2011, achieving 100% clinical and procedural success, validating the safety and efficiency of the EOSTM device.  The Company received its CE Mark certification for EOS™ on May 30, 2013.  In 2014, the Company began commercialization and commenced marketing with its European distributors.  On December 3, 2014, the Company received FDA approval for EOS™ for marketing and sales in the United States.


We currently have one wholly-owned subsidiary, ArtVentive Medical Group, Canada Inc.


NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the transactions of the Company and its Subsidiary.  All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the Company’s 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Such estimates include deferred tax assets



7




arising as a result of the operating loss carry forwards.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The Company’s periodic filings with the SEC include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.


Common Stock Issued for Services


Services purchased and other transactions settled in the Company’s common stock and stock options are recorded at the estimated fair value of the stock issued and options granted if that value is more readily determinable than the fair value of the consideration received.


Earnings Per Share of Common Stock


In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.


Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.


The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at March 31, 2016:


Common stock warrants

 

2,415,000

Common stock options

 

370,000

Total common stock equivalents

 

2,785,000


Since the Company recorded net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if outstanding, would have been anti-dilutive.  Therefore, a separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.


The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per share:

Inventory


The Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all inventory consisted of finished goods.




8




As the Company begins its transition from the research and development phase to production, management has estimated the cost of units sold to be equal to the revenue generated on those units.  Other direct cost that may be associated with the production of these units has been reflected in research and development expenses.


Foreign Currency Translations


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.  All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the U.S. dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.  Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of other comprehensive income or loss.  Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of funds on hand, on deposit with banks and liquid investment funds having maturity of three months or less at the time of the purchase.  The Company has no cash equivalents.  The Company had funds on deposit of $10,106 as of March 31, 2016.


Receivables


The accounts receivable balance of $24,976 as of March 31, 2016 is comprised of balances due from six customers totaling $8,311, $4,800, $3,280, $2,915, $2,850 and $2,790.  The accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2015 was comprised of balances due from four customers totaling $5,760, $5,568, $3,210, and $3,580.  The balance of the allowance for bad debts was $0 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue for the sale of goods in the course of the ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns.  Revenue for sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of the goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000.  As of March 31, 2016, the Company had no deposits in excess of federally insured limits in its U.S. bank.  The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash in bank accounts.  As of March 31, 2016, six customers represented 100% (33.3%, 19.25%, 13.15%, 11.69%, 11.43% and 11.19%) and as of December 31, 2015, four customers represented 100% (31.8%, 30.7%, 17.7% and 19.8%) of our accounts receivable.


As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Medical Murray, accounted for more than 10% of our purchases and accounts payable.


NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE


On April 1, 2014, the Company borrowed $250,000 from an unrelated party and issued a note payable due on or before December 31, 2014, with interest at 3% per annum.  On December 31, 2014, the Company and the lender executed an extension of the note, which is due on or before December 31, 2017.  The interest remains at 3%.  The lender may convert all or part of the debt, including interest, into common stock of the Company at any time at the rate of $1.00 per share.

NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a negative working capital balance of $1,092,166 and an accumulated deficit of $18,605,886.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives for operations, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets.  Management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with those initiatives, and it does not have any firm commitments from investors at this time.


NOTE 7 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


The Company has reviewed Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) through ASU No. 2016-11 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities.  These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.




11




NOTE 8 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES


The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes.  Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.  Exploration and development stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carry forwards have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods.  Tax operating loss carry forwards generated during the period from January 23, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2016 of approximately $18.4 million will begin to expire in 2027.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets of approximately $7,731,000 (2015 – $7,594,000) related to net operating loss carryforwards and $168,000 related to stock-based compensation were offset in full by the valuation allowance.


The Company has no tax positions at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.


The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are open for examination under Federal Statute of Limitations and for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 under the State of California Statute of Limitations.


The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties since inception.


A reconciliation of the provision for income tax expense with the expected income tax computed by applying the federal statutory income tax to income before provision for income taxes is as follows:

ArtVentive Medical Group, Inc. is a medical device corporation focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing a family of endoluminal occlusion devices, known as the ArtVentive Endoluminal Occlusion System (“ArtVentive EOS™” or “EOS™”).  Through our patented technology, we have developed minimally invasive occlusion devices and procedures capable of achieving immediate, complete, and permanent occlusion of peripheral vasculature.  In our belief, EOS™ represents a paradigm shift in the vessel occlusion marketplace, through our use of a unique technology platform that, when deployed, immediately occludes a vessel and does not depend on waiting for blood or fluids to clot around the device.  We believe that this new, novel technology significantly reduces risks to both patients and doctors, is more cost effective than currently available products, and has the potential to become the standard of care in the vessel occlusion market.


The ArtVentive EOS™ is our proprietary technology platform which we plan to expand from peripheral vascular to neurological vascular disorders, women's contraceptive health, varicose veins, interventional oncology and cardiology procedures.


We were incorporated on January 23, 2007 in the State of Nevada as Big Bear Resources, Inc.  We changed our name to Uranium Plus Resource Corporation on March 21, 2008.  On January 9, 2010, we completed the acquisition of all of the assets of ArtVentive Medical Inc., a California company, and changed our name, on January 26, 2010, to ArtVentive Medical Group, Inc. to concentrate on developing, manufacturing and marketing the ArtVentive EOS™ family of devices.


Based on the work of Dr. Leon Rudakov, Ph.D. and Dr. Philippe Gauilloud, MD, we developed our first prototype of the ArtVentive EOS™ in 2010.  Since inception, our activities have been focused on our corporate operations, research and development, EOS™ device design and testing, implementation of quality controls and protocols, animal studies, and regulatory strategy for FDA and European submissions and approvals.  In December 2010, the Company formally froze the EOS™ device design for the peripheral category of indications in preparation for the regulatory phase and prior to commercialization in Europe, followed by the United States.  We protect our technology with 8 approved patents and 29 patents pending.


We outsource certain operations to assist us in the implementation of our strategic plan to develop, manufacture and commercialize our products.  These companies provided the following services:


·

Medical Murray Inc. is our manufacturer and a leader in the field of medical device development and manufacturing that is ISO certified and FDA registered.


·

Alvamed, Inc. (formerly Northwest Clinical Research Group, Inc.) develops our regulatory and clinical strategy, provides a platform of quality control and communicates with the FDA and the European Notified Body.


·

Lublin University Clinic, Poland and University Clinic of UZ Leuven of Belgium conducted successful post-market clinical studies on 20 patients using ArtVentive EOS™ devices (for OCCLUDE I and II) to study and demonstrate, through clinicians’ experience, publications and conference presentations, EOS™ safety and clinical efficiency.


In September of 2010, we implemented our Quality Management System (QMS), based on the requirements of the following regulations and international standards:


·

US FDA Quality System Regulation, 21 CFR 820

·

EU Medical Device Directive (MDD), EEC 93/42

·

Canada Medical Devices Regulations (CMDR), SOR/98-282

·

ISO 13485:2003 Medical Devices – Quality Management Systems - Requirements Regulatory Purposes

We completed a comprehensive ISO Certification audit performed by BSI Product Services (“BSI”).  BSI is an international ISO 9000/ISO Registrar and CE Mark notified body required for the European regulatory approval and subsequent CE Mark certification.  The audit confirmed that the Company’s document and quality control systems were up to ISO standards and in compliance with international requirements for the maintaining quality of the products without non-conformities.


Our common stock is currently listed on the OTC Market, Pink tier, under the symbol “AVTD”.


Our Product


EOS™ is a minimally invasive occlusion device and procedure capable of achieving immediate, complete, and permanent occlusion of peripheral vasculature.  EOS™ is designed to be deployed into an artery, vein or tube using our patented catheter and placed precisely in the correct place to cut off blood or fluid supply immediately, completely and permanently.  The EOS™ delivery catheter is designed to permit fast and controlled deployment, with instantaneous occlusion of the treated vessel making it safer and more effective than other treatment modalities.


The major advantage of the ArtVentive EOS™ is its immediate action of occluding target sites.  Most of all devices require much more time and radiation to perform the same type of procedure.


We received our CE Mark certification for EOS™ on May 30, 2013, and implemented the planned EOS™ peripheral device transfer from research and development to commercialization, marketing, and exploratory distribution throughout Europe, simultaneous to making our U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) application.  The FDA granted us 510(k) clearance for the following sizes of EOS™ as a therapy in patients with peripheral vasculature requiring occlusion:

Recent Corporate Developments


Since the commencement of the year through March 31, 2016, we have experienced the following corporate developments:


Resignation of Director


On April 25, 2016, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of H. James Graham as Executive Chairman and a member of the Board of Directors, effective May 31, 2016.


Results of Operations


Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015


Revenue


We recognize revenue via the sale of the EOS™ device to the Company’s distributors in Europe and through direct sales in the U.S.  We invoice customers when products are shipped.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, our total revenues were $45,986, as compared to $64,187 for the same period in 2015, a decrease of 28%.  The



19




decrease in revenue is attributable to decreased sales of the EOS™ device to European distributors that was mainly due to a realignment of the the Company’s sales strategy in the Europen market.


Expenses


Our expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are summarized as follows in comparison to our expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015:

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, general and administrative expenses decreased by $223,166 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the comparative period 2015.  This was due in part to an effort by management to reduce certain general and administrative expenses and business development expenses.  Salaries and related expenses decreased by $76,431 due to the reduced use of sales personnel and the realignment of the Company’s sales strategy in the Europen market during the first quarter of 2016.  We expect wages and salaries to increase substantially in the next twelve months as we expand our management, support staff and the sales team.  Any increases are expected to be due to the initialization and transfer of the EOS™ device from research and



20




ongoing development to commercialization.  We anticipate continued professional fees, mainly from regulatory, legal and accounting, due to ongoing public company reporting requirements.

As of March 31, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $10,106.  The Company does not expect its current cash and operating income to be sufficient to meet its financial needs for continuing operations over the next twelve months.


Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $26,675 mainly due to the net loss of $623,041 that was incurred during the period.


Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $15,000 due to issuances of common stock for cash.


We need to raise additional operating capital on an immediate basis.  There is no historical financial information about the Company on which to base an evaluation of our performance.  We have generated minimal revenues from operations.  Management cannot guarantee that it will be successful in its business operations.  The business is subject to risks inherent in the medical device business enterprise in a highly competitive industry, including limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.


The Company believes it does not have enough cash on hand or will be able to generate enough income from operations to pay operating costs for the next twelve months.  In order to carry out the business plan, including the expansion of the product line and manufacturing of the EOS medical devices, the Company will be required to seek equity or debt financing.  If management is unable to raise sufficient funds to increase its manufacturing and deliver products, as well as enhance and develop new innovative devices, the Company will have to curtail its operations until such funds are received.  There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in raising such funds.


Management believes that current cash resources will not allow us to meet current working capital requirements through 2016.  Without additional sources of cash and/or the deferral, reduction, or elimination of significant planned expenditures, the Company will not have the cash resources to remain as a going concern thereafter.  Management anticipates that it will require an additional $5,000,000 over the next 12 to 18 months to further develop its devices and increased manufacturing projections, for marketing, branding and launching into North American markets, in addition to the continued development of its research and development pipeline and new and innovative devices based on the EOS™ technology platform.



21





Going Concern


The audited consolidated financial statements contained in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has cumulative net losses through March 31, 2016 of approximately $19 million, as well as negative cash flows from operating activities.  The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 31, 2016 is $10,106.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives for operations, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets.


While we will actively seek to identify sources of liquidity, there are no assurances that such additional sources of liquidity can be obtained on terms acceptable to us on a commercially reasonable basis, or at all.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Furthermore, our “going concern” may make it more difficult for us to raise funds.


The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.  If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its common stock.  Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for developing its business and achieving commercial revenues.  If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.


We expect that our operating expenses will increase over the next twelve months to build-up our sales and marketing efforts to sell EOS™ into existing and new markets.  As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10,106.  We do not expect to raise capital through debt financing from traditional lending sources, since we are not currently producing revenue and cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully achieve commercial revenues from the development of our technology.  Therefore, we only expect to raise money through equity financing via the sale of our common stock.  If we cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to operate our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations.  If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail.  If we are unsuccessful in raising additional financing, we may need to curtail, discontinue or cease operations.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


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


Effects of Inflation


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

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 the Company’s management, including the Company’s president and chief executive officer (who is the Company’s principal executive officer) and the Company’s chief financial officer, treasurer, and secretary (who is the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  The ineffectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses identified in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, described below.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting.  In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Our management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013).  Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2016.  The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with limited staff:


(i)

inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;

(ii)

an ineffective internal audit function or risk assessment function for which such functions are important to the monitoring or risk assessment component of internal control;

(iii)

ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; and

(iv)

Lack of an independent board and, therefore, lack of oversight by a functioning audit committee.


Our management believes the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial statements.  However, we are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes as soon as practicable, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to remediate these material weaknesses.




23




Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
