NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Organization, Going Concern, Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited financial statements of RenovaCare, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2017, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial reporting and include the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company’s Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

Organization

 

RenovaCare, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiary, focuses on the acquisition, research, development and, if warranted, commercialization of autologous (using a patient's own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications.

 

On July 12, 2013, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp., completed the acquisition of its flagship technologies (collectively, the “CellMist^TM System”) along with associated United States patent applications and two foreign patent applications, the first of which was filed on August 23, 2007 (DE 10 2007 040 252.1) and the second of which was filed on April 27, 2011 (DE 10 2011 100 450.9), both of which have been granted. One of the US patent applications was granted on November 29, 2016 (Patent No. US 9,505,000) and the other patent application was granted on April 4, 2017 (Patent No. US 9,610,430).

 

The CellMist^TM System is comprised of (a) a treatment methodology for cell isolation for the regeneration of human skin cells (the “CellMist^TM Solution”) and (b) a solution sprayer device (the “SkinGun^TM”) for delivering the cells to the treatment area. The Company has filed additional patent applications related to the CellMist^TM Solution and SkinGun^TM technologies.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's activities have consisted principally of performing research and development activities and raising capital. These activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including possible failure of preclinical testing and failing to secure additional funding before achieving sustainable revenue and profit from operations. The Company's ability to fund the development of its cellular therapies will depend on the amount and timing of cash receipts from future financing activities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to establish itself as a profitable business.

 

The Company does not have any commercialized products, has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies. Over the past year, the Company has been funded through the sale of equity securities and proceeds from convertible promissory notes. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $1,149,604 of cash. On October 16, 2017, the Company completed a private placement with a group of private investors, whereby the Company received $2,300,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants. The Company believes that, as a result, it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next year. However, the Company has experienced and continues to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment. The Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through the sale of its securities. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification.

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)”, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance with no material impact on its financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases, and creates a new topic, ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will currently have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 to further clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has determined that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will currently have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion other than as discussed above. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. The Company has not included the effects of warrants, stock options and convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.

Note 2. Assets – Intellectual Property

 

On July 12, 2013, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences, entered into an asset purchase agreement (“APA”) with Dr. Jörg Gerlach, MD, PhD, pursuant to which RenovaCare Sciences purchased all of Dr. Gerlach’s rights, title and interest in the CellMist^TM System. Acquisition related costs amounted to $52,852 and were capitalized together with the cash payment upon the closing of the transaction in July 2013 of $100,002. Intangible assets amounted to $152,854 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Note 3. Contract Payable

 

On June 9, 2014, the Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences, entered into an amended asset purchase agreement (the “Amended APA”) with Dr. Jörg Gerlach, MD, PhD, pursuant to which RenovaCare Sciences purchased all of Dr. Gerlach's rights, title and interest in the CellMist™ System. The Amended APA provided for cash payments of $300,000 as partial consideration for the purchase which are payable as follows: (a) $100,000 on December 31, 2014; (b) $50,000 on December 31, 2015; (c) $50,000 on December 31, 2016; and (d) $100,000 on December 31, 2017. At September 30, 2017, $100,000 of the amount payable to Dr. Gerlach was recorded as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Note 4. Debt

 

September 9, 2016, $700,000 Convertible Promissory Note

 

On September 9, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Kalen Capital Corporation (“KCC”); KCC is wholly owned by Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, the Company's majority shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, KCC agreed to loan the Company up to $900,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% per year, compounded quarterly. KCC provided the Company with an initial loan in the amount of $700,000, which was evidenced by a convertible promissory note (the “Note”); the remaining $200,000 may be loaned prior to December 31, 2017, upon the mutual agreement of the Company and KCC. The Note, including any interest due thereon, may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Note matures on December 31, 2017, and, beginning on the first anniversary of the Note, can be converted, at KCC’s sole discretion, into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion rate equal to the lesser of: (i) $1.54, or the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to the issuance of the Note or (ii) a 20% discount to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five days prior to the date on which KCC elects to convert the Note, subject to a floor price of $1.23 per share.

Table of Contents

 

Per the Loan Agreement, the Company issued KCC a Series E Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series E Warrant”) to purchase up to 584,416 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of the lesser of: (i) $1.54, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to issuance of the Series E Warrant; or (ii) a 20% discount to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five days prior to the date on which KCC elects to exercise the Series E Warrant. The Series E Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

The Loan Agreement provides KCC with registration rights for all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, including conversion of the note issued for the remaining $200,000, if applicable, and exercise of the Series E Warrant, beginning on the first anniversary of the Loan Agreement.

 

The Company calculated the debt discount related to the Note and Series E Warrant by first allocating the respective fair value of the Note and Series E Warrant based upon their relative fair values to the total Note proceeds. The fair value of the Series E Warrant issued with the Note was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: exercise price - $1.25 per share; market price of common stock - $1.54 per share; estimated volatility – 92.3%; risk free interest rate - 1.23%; expected dividend rate - 0% and expected life - 5.0 years. The resulting fair value of $340,735 was allocated to the Series E Warrant. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature amounted to $359,265. The resulting $700,000 discount to the Note is being accreted over the 1.25 year term of the Note.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $13,051 and $38,093 of interest expense and $134,728 and $399,791 of accretion related to the debt discount. The remaining debt discount of $134,728 will be amortized over the next quarter through December 31, 2017.

 

February 2017, $445,000 Convertible Promissory Notes

 

Between February 23, 2017 and March 9, 2017, the Company entered into three separate loan agreements containing identical terms (the “February 2017 Loan Agreements”) with Joseph Sierchio (“Sierchio”), an investor (the “Investor”) and KCC (collectively, the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the February 2017 Loan Agreements, Sierchio and the Investor each agreed to loan the Company $25,000 and KCC agreed to loan the Company $395,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% per year, compounded quarterly. Each loan was evidenced by a convertible promissory note (collectively, the “February 2017 Notes”).

Note 6. Stock Options

 

On June 20, 2013, the Company’s Board adopted the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and on November 15, 2013, a stockholder owning a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock approved adoption to the 2013 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Plan, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants in order to attract and hire key technical personnel and management. Options granted to employees under the 2013 Plan, including directors and officers who are employees, may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; options granted to others under the 2013 Plan are limited to non-qualified stock options. As of September 30, 2017, there were 19,338,572 shares available for grant.

 

The 2013 Plan is administered by the Board or a committee designated by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the officers, employees and consultants to whom options will be granted, the number of shares covered by each option, vesting rights and the terms and conditions of each option that is granted to them; however, no person may be granted in any of the Company's fiscal year, options to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares under the 2013 Plan, and the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan are exercisable no later than ten years after the date of grant.

 

The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted under the 2013 Plan will be the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of the Company's common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value. No option can be granted under the 2013 Plan after June 20, 2023.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. There were 310,000 stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $3.38. There were 187,500 stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $1.41. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were 150,000 options exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 102,582 shares of common stock, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $397,100. There were no stock options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are required for the Black-Scholes model. The volatility assumption is based on the Company's historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. treasury note with maturity similar to the option award's expected life. The expected life represents the average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The assumptions for volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate for options granted are presented in the table below:

 

		2017				2016
Risk-free interest rate		1.93% - 2.39%				1.23%-1.41%
Expected life in years		5.5 – 10.0					5.5
Weighted Avg. Expected Volatility		98% - 106%					92%
Expected dividend yield			0				0

Description of Business

 

We are a development-stage company focusing on the acquisition, development and commercialization of autologous (using a patient’s own cells) cellular therapies for medical and aesthetic applications. On July 12, 2013, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp., completed the acquisition of our flagship technologies (collectively, the “CellMist^TM System”) along with associated United States patent applications and two foreign patent applications, the first of which was filed on August 23, 2007 (DE 10 2007 040 252.1) and the second of which was filed on April 27, 2011 (DE 10 2011 100 450.9), both of which have been granted. One of the US patent applications was granted to us on November 29, 2016 (Patent No. US 9,505,000) and the other patent application was granted to us on April 4, 2017 (Patent No. US 9,610,430). In the case of U.S. patents, a typical utility patent term is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, if the application contains a specific reference to an earlier filed application or applications, from the date on which the earliest such application was filed. Patents filed outside of the U.S. have a patent term typically running 20 years from the date of first filing, but which are determined by the law of the country in which they issue. Patent term may be affected by events such as maintenance (or annuity) fee payment, terminal or statutory disclaimer, post-grant proceedings, patent term adjustment, and/or patent term extension.

 

The CellMist^TM System is comprised of (a) a treatment methodology for cell isolation for the regeneration of human skin cells (the “CellMist^TM Solution”) and (b) a solution sprayer device (the “SkinGun^TM”) for delivering the cells to the treatment area. We have filed additional patent applications related to the CellMist^TM Solution and SkinGun^TM technologies.

 

We effected the acquisition of the CellMist^TM System through an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Jorg Gerlach, MD, PhD (the “APA”). Pursuant to the terms of the APA, as amended on September 9, 2014, we paid Dr. Gerlach an initial sum of $100,000 and are obligated to pay him an additional $300,000 in four installments: (a) $100,000 on December 31, 2014; (b) $50,000 on December 31, 2015; (c) $50,000 on December 31, 2016; and (d) $100,000 on December 31, 2017. Additionally, we issued to Dr. Gerlach a Series A Warrant allowing him to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.35 per share through July 12, 2019; the warrant vests in five equal annual installments.

The average adult human has a skin surface area of between 16 - 21 square feet, which protects all other organs against the external environment. When a person’s skin is assailed by trauma or exposed to extreme heat, the skin's various layers may be destroyed and, depending on the severity of the injury, might cause life-threatening conditions. Currently, severe trauma to the skin, such as second or third degree burns, requires surgical mesh-grafting of skin, whereby healthy skin is removed from one area of the patient's body (a “donor site”) and implanted on the damaged area. While mesh grafting is often the method of choice, we believe there are significant deficiencies with this method. The surgical procedure to remove healthy skin from the donor site can be painful and leaves the patient with a new wound that must also be attended to. In many instances the aesthetic results are not satisfying, as the color of the skin from the donor site may not match the skin color of the damaged skin. Additionally, since the ratio between the size of the wound area and the size of the donor site is quite low, i.e. the size of the skin removed must be substantially equal in size to the size of the damaged skin, the mesh-grafting approach is in many cases limited. Donor and injury sites can take weeks to heal, requiring expensive hospital stays, ongoing wound dressing management, and ever-changing anti-infection strategies. We are currently evaluating the efficacy and potential of our SkinGun^TM, in combination with our CellMist^TM Solution, in the treatment of tissue that has been subject to severe trauma such as second and third degree burns. In small scale clinical trials, the CellMist^TM System has shown the ability to regenerate a more natural and thicker skin. The CellMist^TM System utilizes the patient’s own skin stem cells and is able to address much larger treatment areas and at the same time reduce the size of the donor site. Furthermore, we believe the CellMist^TM System enables the effective treatment of other skin disorders with minimal scarring compared to skin grafting.

 

In a clinical study of 19 patients with deep dermal wound burns to the face and neck conducted in Berlin, Germany prior to our purchase of the CellMist^TM System, researchers stated that, “careful surgical debridement and consecutive application of CEA [cultured epithelial auto graft] suspensions using a spray technique results in excellent cosmetic outcomes compared with any other method.” The same researchers concluded that, “We refuse to perform a prospective randomized study with groups in which traditional skin grafting and/or wound healing are still applied for the therapy for deep dermal burns due to the excellent results in our study. The method of CEA spray application has become our standard of care for these indications. The faster wound closure, the promotion of spontaneous wound healing by keratinocyte application, as well as the preservation of donor sites are further advantages of the method.” (Hartmann MD, Bernd, et al, “Sprayed Cultured Epithelial Autografts for Deep Dermal Burns of the Face and Neck” Annals of Plastic Surgery, 58.1(2007): 70-73. Print. emphasis added). The CEA spray application used by the researchers in the publication refers to earlier iterations of what is now CellMist^TM System . Dr. Gerlach, from whom we purchased the CellMist^TM System, assisted in the study.

 

The development of our CellMist^TM System is in the early stage and we anticipate that we will be required to expend significant time and resources to further develop our technology and determine whether a commercially viable product can be developed. Research and development of new technologies involves a high degree of risk and there is no assurance that our development activities will result in a commercially viable product. The long-term profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our development programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.

 

Intellectual Property

 

General

 

In the course of conducting our business, we from time to time create inventions. Obtaining, maintaining and protecting our inventions, including seeking patent protection, might be important depending on the nature of the invention. To that end, we seek to implement patent and other intellectual property strategies to appropriately protect our intellectual property. While we file and prosecute patent applications to protect our inventions, our pending patent applications might not result in the issuance of patents or issued patents might not provide competitive advantages. Also, our patent protection might not prevent others from developing competitive products using related or other technology.

 

The scope, enforceability and effective term of issued patents can be highly uncertain and often involve complex legal and factual questions. Moreover, the issuance of a patent in one country does not assure the issuance of a patent with similar claim scope in another country, and claim interpretation and infringement laws vary among countries, so we are unable to predict the extent of patent protection in any country. The patents we obtain and the unpatented proprietary technology we hold might not afford us significant commercial protection or advantage.

Table of Contents

 

In addition to issued patents describe above, we plan to file additional patent applications that, if issued, would provide further protection for The CellMist^TM System. Although we believe the bases for these patents and patent applications are sound, they are untested; and there is no assurance that they will not be successfully challenged. There can be no assurance that any patent previously issued will be of commercial value, that any patent applications will result in issued patents of commercial value, or that our technology will not be held to infringe patents held by others.

 

Strategy

 

Our ultimate goal is to leverage the potential of our CellMist^TM System as cutting edge treatments in skin therapy. Before we can do so, however, there are a number of steps we must first take, including:

 

	·	initiating a series of clinical trials to determine the CellMistTM System's safety and efficacy for treating wounds and burns;
	·	formalizing collaborations with universities and scientific partners;
	·	creating a network of clinical and research partners; and
	·	achieving Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") and other regulatory clearance.

 

Additionally, we will likely be required to raise significant capital in order to fund our ongoing research and development operations, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms, if at all.

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) costs represent costs incurred to develop our CellMist^TM System and are incurred pursuant to agreements with third party providers and certain internal R&D cost allocations. Payments under these agreements include salaries and benefits for R&D personnel, allocated overhead, contract services and other costs. R&D costs are expensed when incurred. R&D costs, excluding stock based compensation, increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016, as a result of the timing of our R&D expenses.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative costs include all expenditures incurred other than research and development related costs, including costs related to personnel, professional fees, travel and entertainment, public company costs, insurance and other office related costs. General and administrative costs, excluding stock based compensation increased during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016 due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs offset by higher patent related fees. General and administrative costs, excluding stock based compensation decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016 due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs, travel costs, investor communications costs and office costs offset by higher patent related fees and professional service fees.

 

Stock Compensation

 

Expense associated with equity based transactions is calculated and expensed in our financial statements as required pursuant to various accounting rules and is non-cash in nature. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options. Stock compensation expense increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the May 11, 2017 grant of 310,000 stock options of which 160,000 vested on the date of grant whereas only 7,500 immediately vested stock options were granted during the third quarter of 2016. In total, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, a total of 310,000 and 187,500 stock options were granted, respectively.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income relates to interest earned on bank account deposits. Other expense relates to our convertible promissory notes. Interest expense relates to the stated interest of the convertible promissory notes. Accretion of debt discount represents the accretion of the discount applied to the notes as a result of the issuance of detachable warrants and the beneficial conversion feature contained in the notes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company does not have any commercialized products, has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows since inception. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception of $13,745,230. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies. Over the past year, the Company has been funded through the sale of equity securities and proceeds from convertible promissory notes. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $1,149,604 of cash. On October 16, 2017, the Company completed a private placement with a group of private investors, whereby the Company received $2,300,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants. The Company believes that, as a result, it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next year.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,155,661 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,409,842 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is due to fewer dollars spent on public and investors relations and personnel compensation, offset by higher R&D, patent related costs and professional fees.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,887,234 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1,700,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

On July 21, 2017, the Company received proceeds of $1,122,610 from the July 2017 Private Placement in exchange for the issuance of Units with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one Series G Warrant

Per the Loan Agreement, we issued KCC a Series E Warrant to purchase up to 584,416 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of the lesser of: (i) $1.54, the closing price of our common stock on the day prior to issuance of the Series E Warrant; or (ii) a 20% discount to the average closing price of our common stock for the five days prior to the date on which KCC elects to exercise the Series E Warrant. The Series E Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

On February 23, 2017, we entered into two the February 2017 Loan Agreements with Joseph Sierchio, a member of our board of directors (“Sierchio”) and Kalen Capital Corporation, which is wholly owned by Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, our majority shareholder (“KCC” and together with Sierchio, the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the February 2017 Loan Agreements, Sierchio loaned us $25,000 and KCC loaned $395,000 at an annual interest rate of 7% per year, compounded quarterly. Each loan was evidenced by a convertible promissory note (collectively, the “February 2017 Notes”). The February 2017 Notes, including any interest due thereon, may not be prepaid without the consent of the Holders. The February 2017 Notes mature on February 23, 2018, and, beginning on the one month anniversary, can be converted, at the Holders’ sole discretion, into shares of our common stock at conversion rate equal to the lesser of: (i) $3.45, the closing price of our common stock on the day prior to the issuance of the February 2017 Notes or (ii) a 20% discount to the average closing price of our common stock for the five days prior to the date on which the Holder(s) elect to convert the February 2017 Note(s), subject to a floor price of $2.76.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On April 4, 2017, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (the “PTO”) issued to the Company U.S. Patent No. 9,610,430 related to its device and method for spraying autologous skin cells. On or about April 11, 2017, the Company received from Avita Medical Limited (“Avita”) a paper copy of what was labeled a Petition for Inter Partes Review purporting to challenge the validity of the claims in U.S. Patent No. 9,610,430 (the “Petition”) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), which is an administrative proceeding of the PTO (the “Proceeding”). The Company does not agree with the assertions set forth in the Petition and intends to defend its intellectual property.

 

In the event the Proceeding progresses, the PTAB may find (i) that the Petition is insufficient to establish that any such claims are unpatentable and accordingly confirm all of the claims in the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 9,610,430 or (ii) one or more claims of U.S. Patent No. 9,610,430 to be unpatentable and cancel any such claims and confirm the balance of such claims.

Each unit consists of (a) one share of common stock and one Series G Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series G Warrants”) allowing the holder to purchase one (1) share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.68 per share for a period of five years. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the July 2017 Private Placement for general corporate purposes, including the continued research and development of the Company’s SkinGun^TM and CellMist^TM technologies and for working capital.
