SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under United States federal securities laws. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

  our ability to market, commercialize and achieve broader market acceptance for our products;
     
  

 

our ability to successfully expand, and achieve full productivity from, our sales, clinical support and marketing capabilities;
   
  our ability to successfully complete the development of, and obtain regulatory clearance or approval for, our products; and
     
  the estimates regarding the sufficiency of our cash resources, our ability to obtain additional capital or our ability to maintain or grow sources of revenue.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. You should also refer to the section of our Annual report on Form 10-K entitled “Risk Factors” for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We do not undertake to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

MEDOVEX CORP.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 - Description of the Company

 

MedoveX Corp. (the “Company” or “MedoveX”) was incorporated in Nevada on July 30, 2013 as SpineZ Corp. (“SpineZ”) and changed its name to MedoveX Corp. on March 20, 2014. MedoveX is the parent company of Debride Inc. (“Debride”), which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on October 1, 2012. The Company is in the business of designing and marketing proprietary medical devices for commercial use in the United States and Europe. The Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the DenerveX System and it is now commercially available throughout the European Union and several other countries that accept CE marking. The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in July 2017. The Company plans to seek approval for the DenerveX System from the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the United States.

 

Note 2 – Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which included only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or for any other interim period or for any future year.

 

principles of consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that present the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, include Debride and the accounts of the Company as well as its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Streamline Inc. (“Streamline”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the financial statements, U.S. GAAP requires disclosure regarding estimates and assumptions used by management that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s significant estimates include the deferred income tax asset and the related valuation allowance, and the fair value of its share based payment arrangements.

 

For those estimates that are sensitive to the outcome of future events, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued, both effective and not yet effective.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09) that requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein and requires expanded disclosures. We have decided to adopt the guidance of Topic 606 now, commensurate with our first reported revenues from our primary product, so we will not have to make any changes in our revenue recognition process going forward.

 

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, or ASU 2014-15. ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires a company’s management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard is effective in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, to reduce the complexity of having different balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discounts and premiums. The guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be reported on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

  -6- 

 

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330),” which requires inventory measured using any method other than last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than the lower of cost or market. ASU No. 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2015-11 effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 – Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.

 

Note 4 – Other Receivables

 

Other receivables include input and importation value added tax (VAT) paid by the Company for conducting business in the European Union (“EU”) and for importing goods from outside the EU.

 

Note 5 - Inventory

 

Inventories consist of finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Note 7 - Equity Transactions

In November 2016, the Board authorized the issuance of shares of common stock to all Board members, both current and former, in an amount equivalent to $240,000, representing their accrued but unpaid directors’ fees as of December 31, 2016. In January 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 173,911 shares at $1.38 per share, which was the average closing price of the Company’s stock during 2016, to fulfill this obligation. The closing price of the Company’s stock on January 17, 2017, the day the shares were issued, was $1.16 per share.

 

In August 2017, the Board authorized the issuance of shares of common stock to all Board members, both current and former, in an amount equivalent to $135,000, representing their accrued but unpaid directors’ fees as of September 30, 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

 

2013 Stock Option Incentive Plan

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to issue options to purchase an aggregate of 189,159 shares of common stock to certain employees. The stock options vest as follows: 25% on date of grant and 25% on each of the next three years after the grant date. The options granted were at the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant.

 

We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method to recognize compensation expense over the vesting period. The expected life represents the period that our stock-based compensation awards are expected to be outstanding.

 

We use a simplified method provided in Securities and Exchange Commission release, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, which averages an award’s weighted average vesting period and contractual term for “plain vanilla” share options. The expected volatility was estimated by analyzing the historic volatility of similar public biotech companies in an early stage of development. No dividend payouts were assumed as we have not historically paid, and do not anticipate paying, dividends in the foreseeable future. The risk-free rate of return reflects the weighted average interest rate offered for US treasury rates over the expected term of the options.

 

The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the equity awards granted are:

 

Grant date     February 3       March 28  
Fair value of options granted   $ 0.7992     $ 0.9114  
Expected term (years)     6       6  
Risk-free interest rate     2.10 %     2.11 %
Volatility     82.53 %     76.86 %
Dividend yield     None       None  

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $111,000 and $612,000, respectively, as compensation expense with respect to stock options. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $230,000 and $562,000, respectively, as compensation expense with respect to stock options.

 

Stock Option Activity

 

As of September 30, 2017, there were 374,319 shares of time-based, non-vested stock options outstanding. As of September 30, 2017, there was approximately $298,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to these non-vested stock options. That expense is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 1.84 years.

Note 10 – Common Stock Warrants

 

Fair value measurement valuation techniques, to the extent possible, should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company’s fair value measurements of all warrants are designated as Level 2 since all the significant inputs are observable and quoted prices were available for the four comparative companies in an active market.

 

A summary of the Company’s warrant issuance activity and related information for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows:

 

    Shares     Weighted Average
Exercise
Price
    Weighted
Average
Remaining Contractual Life

Outstanding and exercisable at 9/30/2017   $ 7,194,215     $ 1.74       3.61  

 

As described in Note 7, 200,000 warrants were cancelled and 200,000 shares of common stock were issued to the Noteholders’ as consideration for converting the Company’s short-term debt.

 

The fair value of all warrants issued are determined by using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique and were assigned based on the relative fair value of both the common stock and the warrants issued.

 

The inputs used in the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique to value each of the warrants issued at September 30, 2017 as of their respective issue dates are as follows:

 

Event
Description
  Date     MDVX
Stock Price
    Exercise Price of Warrant     Grant Date Fair Value     Life
of Warrant
    Risk Free Rate of Return (%)     Annualized Volatility Rate (%)  
Private Placement     2/8/17     $ 1.04     $ 1.50     $ 0.75       5 years       1.81       104.49  
Private Placement     7/14/17     $ 0.91     $ 1.15     $ 0.36       5 years       1.87       51.79  

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

Note 11 – Revenue

 

The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in July 2017. The Company recorded revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $117,277.

 

The Company sells the DenerveX System through a combination of direct sales and independent distributors in international markets. The Company recognizes revenue when title to the goods and risk of loss transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. We only record revenue when collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenue recognition occurs at the time product is shipped to customers from the third-party distribution warehouse located in Berlin, Germany. Our stocking distributors, who sell the products to their customers or sub-distributors, contractually take title to the products and assume all risks of ownership at the time of shipment. Our stocking distributors are obligated to pay us the contractually agreed upon invoice price within specified terms regardless of when, if ever, they sell the products. Our direct customers do not have any contractual rights of return or exchange other than for defective product or shipping error.

As described in Note 8, in November 2014, the Company contracted with Bovie to customize one of their existing electrocautery generators for use with DenerveX Device, and then manufacture that unit on a commercial basis once regulatory approval for the DenerveX is obtained. The Bovie agreement requires a base $295,000 development fee to customize the unit, plus additional amounts if further customization is necessary beyond predetermined estimates.

 

  -14- 

 

 

The Company paid approximately $3,000 and $33,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to Bovie. The Company paid approximately $1,000 and $24,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 to Bovie.

 

Through September 30, 2017, we have paid approximately $422,000 to Bovie related to this agreement.

 

Nortech Manufacturing Agreement

 

In November 2014, the Company selected Nortech Systems Inc. (“Nortech”), a Minneapolis, Minnesota based FDA registered contract manufacturer, to produce 315 DenerveX devices from the prototype supplied by Devicix for use in final development and clinical trials. The agreement with Nortech includes agreed upon per unit prices for delivery of the devices.

 

Actual work on development of the final units began in November 2014. The Company paid approximately $7,400 and $147,000, respectively, to Nortech for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company paid approximately $250,000 and $362,000, respectively, to Nortech for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Through September 30, 2017, we have incurred expenses of approximately $891,000 to Nortech, of which approximately $41,000 was included in accounts payable as of September 30, 2017.

 

Note 16– Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4,842,000 and $13,185,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company will continue to incur losses until it can sell a sufficient enough volume of the DenerveX System with margins sufficient to offset expenses.  

 

To date, the Company’s primary source of funds has been from the issuance of debt and equity.

 

As discussed in Note 7, in February and July 2017, the Company obtained approximately $2,618,000 and $2,469,000, respectively, net of fees, in private equity financings. The Company will require additional cash in 2017 and is exploring other fundraising options for 2017. No assurances can be provided regarding the success of such efforts. Furthermore, if the Company is unable to raise sufficient financing in 2017, it could be required to undertake initiatives to conserve its capital resources, including delaying or suspending the launch of its product outside the United States and seeking FDA approval to sell its product in the United States. Delaying or suspending these initiatives would raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts of its assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 17 - Subsequent Events

 

As discussed in Note 7, the Board authorized the issuance of shares of common stock to all Board members, both current and former, in an amount equivalent to $135,000, representing their accrued but unpaid directors’ fees as of September 30, 2017. In October 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 115,389 shares at $1.17 per share, which was the average closing price of the Company’s stock this year through September 30, 2017, to fulfill this obligation. The closing price of the Company’s stock on October 30, 2017, the day the shares were issued, was $1.09 per share.

 

In August 2017, the Board authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock to be issued to a certain member of the board of directors and a certain consultant in recognition of services performed for the Company. The common stock is to be issued as follows: 25% on the date of grant, 25% in 1 year, and the remaining 50% to be issued 2 years from the date of grant. The common stock issuance was subject to shareholder approval to increase the amount of common stock shares in the Company’s 2013 Stock Option Incentive Plan. The Company held its annual meeting of shareholders on October 18, 2017 whereby the authorization to increase the number of shares of common stock in the Plan was approved. In October 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 75,000 shares at $1.08 per share. The closing price of the Company’s stock on October 30, 2017, the day the shares were issued, was $1.09 per share. The fair value of the common stock issued was approximately $81,750.

 

In August 2016, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq Markets for non-compliance with their listing rule 5550(b), which requires a minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum”). In February 2017, the Company completed a private offering which resulted in stockholders’ equity in excess of the Minimum; however, in its March 31, 2017 Form 10-Q, the Company again reported less than $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity. In May 2017, the Company received another letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company of non-compliance and its intent to delist MedoveX stock from trading on its exchange. The Company appealed this decision. The Nasdaq Appeals Panel gave the Company until November 13, 2017, to report a shareholders’ equity number of sufficient amount to not only meet the Minimum, but large enough to ensure the Company would not go below the threshold again in the coming year based on projected expenses.

 

At September 30, 2017, the Company’s stockholder equity was less than the Minimum. The Company was unable to secure investment at reasonable terms and at an amount sufficient to satisfy the conditions set by the Nasdaq Appeals Panel by their deadline of November 13, 2017. On November 14, 2017, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Company stock would no longer trade on its exchange after November 15, 2017. The Company applied to OTC Markets to trade on its OTCQB exchange, and the Company’s stock began trading on that exchange on November 16, 2017.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.

 

Overview

 

MedoveX was incorporated in Nevada on July 30, 2013 as Spinez Corp. MedoveX is the parent company of Debride, which was incorporated under the laws of Florida on October 1, 2012. The Company is in the business of designing and marketing proprietary medical devices for commercial use in the United States and Europe. The Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the DenerveX System and it is now commercially available throughout the European Union and several countries that accept CE marking. The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in July 2017. The Company is currently seeking approval for the DenerveX System from the FDA in the US.

 

DenerveX

 

The DenerveX® System consists of the DenerveX Kit and the DenerveX Power Pro-40 generator. We believe that the DenerveX System can be developed in the future to encompass a number of medical applications in addition to the current application for facet joint syndrome, including pain relief.

 

The Company acquired the DenerveX patent on January 31, 2013 from Scott Haufe, M.D. (“Dr. Haufe”), a director of the Company, in exchange for 750,108 shares of common stock in the Company and a 1% royalty on all sales of any product sold based on the patent.

 

In September 2013, we entered into a Co-Development Agreement with James Andrews, M.D. (“Dr. Andrews”), a director of the Company, whereby Dr. Andrews committed to further evaluate the DenerveX System and to seek to make modifications and improvements to such technology. In exchange for such services, the Company agreed to pay Dr. Andrews a royalty equal to two (2%) percent of the DenerveX net sales during the five (5) year term of the Co-Development Agreement. Upon the termination of the term of the Co-Development Agreement, which has a minimum term of five (5) years, the royalty payable to Dr. Andrews shall be reduced to one (1%) percent of DenerveX net sales after such termination of products covered by any U.S. patent on which Dr. Andrews is listed as a co-inventor; if any such patents are obtained. Such one (1%) percent royalty shall continue during the effectiveness of such patent. Pursuant to the Co-Development Agreement, Dr. Andrews agreed to assign any modifications or improvements to the DenerveX to the Company subject to the royalty rights described above.

 

We are marketing the product as a disposable, single-use kit which includes all components of the DenerveX device product. In addition to the DenerveX device itself, we have developed a dedicated Electro Surgical Generator, the DenerveX Pro-40, to power the DenerveX device.

 

The generator is provided to customers agreeing to purchase the DenerveX device, and cannot be used for any other purpose.

 

We accepted a proposal from Devicix, a Minneapolis, Minnesota third party design and development firm, in November 2013, to develop a prototype device. This proposal included a 5-phase development plan, culminating in the production ready prototype that could be used for validation purposes. We have recently completed the final stages of the build and test phase of the device, culminating in receiving CE marking to market the product in Europe. The DenerveX Kit and Pro-40 generator is now in commercial production. We anticipate very minimal, if any, additional build and test related expenses, which consists of product design verification activities, in the future as we launch the DenerveX System in Europe. Through September 30, 2017, we have paid approximately $1,820,000 to Devicix.

 

In November 2014, we selected Nortech Systems Inc. (“Nortech”), a Minneapolis, Minnesota based FDA registered contract manufacturer, to produce test DenerveX devices from the prototype supplied by Devicix for use in final development and non-clinical testing. The agreement with Nortech includes agreed upon per unit prices for delivery of the devices. Actual work on development of the final units began in November 2014. Through September 30, 2017, we have paid approximately $891,000 to Nortech. We are now in commercial production.

 

Also in November 2014, we engaged Bovie Medical Corporation (“Bovie”), a Delaware Corporation, to develop the Electro Surgical Generator and provide post production support services. Per our agreement with Bovie, we are invoiced based on deliverables produced by Bovie, which was originally supposed to amount to $295,000 upon completion of all the deliverables. Through September 30, 2017, we have paid approximately $422,000 to Bovie for production services. The original $295,000 agreement was a base number along the pathway of development. Additional requirements were incurred as the research and development process progressed and as a result certain prices increased and additional costs were incurred to further customize the DenerveX System. We are also in production manufacturing on the generator.

 

The Company has completed the final stages of the development and verification of the DenerveX Device and the DenerveX Pro-40 power generator as a system.

 

  -16- 

 

 

Additionally, the company has tested the DenerveX System in an extensive living tissue model under very strict Good Laboratory Practice Standards to measure, verify, and establish its effectiveness for performance as a system. Other testing will include device sterilization, shelf life verification and shipping and performance testing to very specific standards.

 

The DenerveX System (the DenerveX Device and the DenerveX Pro-40 generator) was successfully tested as a system by SGS, a world leader in safety performance testing, and received certification of compliance in January 2017. SGS, a highly respected testing and verification firm, tested the DenerveX System using an extensive set of testing standards.

 

Regulatory Approval

 

The Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the DenerveX System. It can now be sold throughout the European Union and countries that accept CE Mark. In the future, the Company will seek marketing clearance from the FDA for commercialization of the DenerveX System in the US.

 

Aside from the European Union, we may seek regulatory approval for commercialization of the DenerveX System from Columbia, Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Turkey, Israel, New Zealand, Australia and other countries. The documentation required to accompany the CE Mark to obtain regulatory approval in the aforementioned countries may include copies of the ISO 13485 certification, the SGS certificate of approval and a statement of Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”).

 

First Sales of the DenerveX System

 

Following receipt of the CE mark certificate in June 2017, we subsequently received the first commercial orders of the DenerveX System from multiple distributors in Europe and performed the DenerveX procedure on patients clinically.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below.

 

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K.

 

Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations

 

The following is a description of factors that may influence our future results of operations, and that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.

 

Revenue; Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

 

The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in July 2017. We recorded revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $117,277.

 

The Company sells the DenerveX System through a combination of direct sales and independent distributors in international markets. The Company recognizes revenue at the time product is shipped to customers from the third-party distribution warehouse in Berlin, Germany. We believe this action satisfies the performance obligation as outlined in new revenue recognition standards.

 

The DenerveX Device is manufactured by Nortech in Minneapolis, MN and subsequently shipped to the third-party warehouse in packages of five units per one package. Our independent distributors then order the DenerveX Devices as single units at specified prices as outlined in their distribution agreements. The international distribution agreements also specify the pricing for which the independent distributor is to sell the DenerveX Device to their end-user customers.

 

The Pro-40 Generator is manufactured in Bulgaria and shipped to the third-party warehouse as single units. The generators are typically provided for use to customers at no cost, however, demo units can be purchased by customers for which the Company records in revenue.

 

  -17- 

 

 

Our independent distribution customers place initial purchase orders for minimum stocking quantities of both the DenerveX Devices and Pro-40 Generators as agreed upon per their signed international distribution agreements. Subsequent stocking orders are required to be placed initially at specified dates and quantities based upon projected end-user sales volumes. Stocking orders thereafter are required to be placed quarterly based off actual end-user sales volumes.

 

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was approximately 82% resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 18%.

 

Operating Expenses

 

We classify our operating expenses into four categories: research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and depreciation and amortization.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development costs and expenses consist primarily of fees paid to external service providers, laboratory supplies, costs for facilities and equipment, and other costs for regulatory, patent, and research and development activities. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $70,000 and $462,000, respectively, in research and development expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $396,000 and $772,000, respectively, in research and development expenses.

 

Research and development expenses are recorded in operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Estimates have been used in determining the liability of certain costs where services have been performed but not yet invoiced.

 

We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract for external service providers, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the service providers to reflect the actual amount expended.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $477,000 and $1,394,000, respectively, in personnel costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $392,000 and $1,189,000, respectively, in personnel costs. The increase in personnel costs is the result of having hired a Senior Vice President of Regulatory and Clinical affairs in November 2016 and also a Manager of Quality in December 2016.

 

Professional fees were approximately $381,000 and $1,182,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Professional fees were approximately $309,000 and $1,102,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Professional fees consist primarily of accounting, legal, patent and public company compliance costs as well as regulatory costs incurred to obtain CE Mark in Europe.

 

Travel expenses were approximately $86,000 and $188,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Travel expenses were approximately $50,000 and $130,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will continue at a comparable rate in the future to support clinical trials, commercialization of our product candidate and continued costs of operating as a public company.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $217,000 and $450,000, respectively, in sales and marketing expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $107,000 and $166,000, respectively, in sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of fees paid to vendors for tradeshows and consultants in correlation with the launch and commercialization of the DenerveX System in Europe. We expect these expenses will continue to increase as we launch the product in new markets and expand penetration in existing markets.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense are recorded in the period in which they are incurred. The Company recognized approximately $7,000 and $20,000, respectively, in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company recognized approximately $2,000 and $6,000, respectively, in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The purchase of a trade show booth for sales and marketing conventions in Europe at the end of 2016 is largely attributable to the increase as depreciation expense in 2017.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $0 and $190,000, respectively, in amortization expense. Amortization expense is a result of amortizing the intangible assets acquired in the Streamline acquisition in March 2015. Amortization expense is included in the total loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

  -18- 

 

 

Results of Continued Operations

 

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

 

Total operating expenses decreased approximately $350,000, or 20%, to approximately $1,386,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to approximately $1,736,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Total operating expenses decreased approximately $6,318,000, or 59%, to approximately $4,466,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to approximately $10,784,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The significant decrease is the result of the goodwill impairment loss of approximately $6,456,000 that was recognized in June 2016 with the write-down of the Streamline related intangible assets. Impairment charges aside, total operating expenses would have approximated $4,329,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, resulting in an increase of approximately $138,000, or 3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Without the impairment charges, total operating expenses for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2017 were more comparable to the prior year for the same period. The hiring of two employees at the beginning of 2017 is attributable to the increase as salaries and wages expense increased. Research and development expenses decreased significantly as we completed the final stages of the development and verification of the DenerveX System and applied for CE Mark certification. However, the reduction in research and development costs were similarly offset with an increase in Sales & Marketing expenses as we entered commercial production of the DenerveX System. We continued to incur similar costs associated with being a public entity.

 

Results of Discontinued Operations

 

Our discontinued operations generated net losses of approximately $1,000 and $2,040,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Funding Requirements

 

We anticipate our cash expenditures will remain consistent as we continue to operate as a publicly traded entity and as we move forward with the recent commercialization of the DenerveX System onto clinical trial studies. We expect future cash flow expenditures to increase if the FDA requires a de novo regulatory path, instead of a 510(k) approval.

 

To the extent our available cash is insufficient to satisfy our long-term operating requirements, we will need to seek additional sources of funds from the sale of equity or debt securities or through a credit facility, or we will need to modify our current business plan. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

 

The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would likely result in dilution to our current stockholders.

 

Going Concern

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph suggests that we may not have sufficient liquidity or minimum cash levels to operate the business. Since our inception, we have incurred losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until our products can generate enough revenue to offset our operating expenses. We received approximately $2,618,000 of net proceeds in a private placement of common stock in February 2017. We also received approximately $2,469,000 of net proceeds from another private placement of common stock in July 2017. We believe these funds will be sufficient to maintain uninterrupted operations while we pursue our near term operational plans and pursue other fund-raising initiatives that will be required in 2017. No assurances can be provided regarding the success of such efforts. Furthermore, if the Company is unable to raise sufficient financing in 2017, it could be required to undertake initiatives to conserve its capital resources. If we are required to conserve resources or curtail production, there could be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have incurred losses and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future.

 

While we expect our research and development costs for the DenerveX System to dissipate, we also anticipate increased expenditures for clinical trials to obtain FDA approval of the DenerveX System as well as expenses related to the commercial launch of the DenerveX system. We will need additional cash to fully fund these activities.

Sources of Liquidity

 

Equity

 

On February 9, 2017, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement with selected accredited investors whereby the Company had the right to sell in a private placement a minimum of $3,000,000 and up to a maximum of $5,000,000 of units. Each Unit had a purchase price of $100,000 and consisted of (i) 96,154 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at a purchase price of $1.04 per share, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 48,077 shares of common stock. Each warrant has an initial exercise price of $1.50 per share and is exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance.

 

The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $3,022,000 and resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 1,631,730 shares of common stock, 12,740 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2,005,761 shares of common stock. The placement agent collected an aggregate of approximately $350,000 in total fees related to the offering and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 405,577 shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share.

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a rate of one hundred shares of the Company’s common stock for every share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On July 14, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with selected accredited investors whereby the Company sold an aggregate of 2,956,043 shares of common stock and 1,478,022 warrants to purchase common stock. The Offering resulted in $2,469,000 in net proceeds to the Company. The common stock shares were sold at $0.91 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 13, 2017, the day prior to the agreement. Each warrant has an exercise price of $1.15 and is exercisable for a period of five years commencing six months from the date of issuance.

 

Debt

 

On February 9, 2017, the Company’s $1,150,000 short-term note payable was converted into an aggregate of 165,865 shares of common stock and 9,399 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, eliminating the Company’s debt obligation. The debt was converted into shares at $1.04 per share, which was the offering price of the Company’s stock in the February private placement. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at $1.04 per share.

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a rate of one hundred shares of the Company’s common stock for every share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

As consideration for converting the debt, the noteholders’ agreed to receive common stock in lieu of the 200,000 warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in conjunction with the short-term loan, see Note 7 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

As a result, the 200,000 warrants were cancelled, and the Company issued to the noteholders’ an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock. The closing price of the Company’s stock on February 9, 2017, the day the shares were issued, was $1.04 per share. The fair value of the common stock issued was approximately $208,000.

 

Working Capital Surplus (Deficit)   September 30, 2017     December 31, 2016  
Current Assets   $ 2,504,000     $ 1,258,000

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4) during the periods presented, investments in special-purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

 

The Company has long term contractual obligations for the two promissory notes issued to the Bank of North Dakota New Venture Capital Program and North Dakota Development Fund. Both Notes from the Bank of North Dakota New Venture Capital Program and North Dakota Development were assumed in conjunction with the consummation of the Streamline acquisition on March 25, 2015, and require combined monthly principal and interest payments of $5,661 into the third quarter of 2019.

 

The Company rents commercial office space in Alpharetta, GA. Base annual rent is currently set at $2,849 per month and the lease term ends July 31, 2018.

 

The Company also currently reimburses its CEO, Jarrett Gorlin, for the lease of executive office space at a cost of $2,147 per month, which it believes is at fair market value.

 

The Company has a consulting agreement with Lifeline Industries Inc., a related party, at a monthly fee of $10,000 through February 9, 2018.

 

The Company has consulting agreements with three sales, marketing, and distribution consultants in Europe who provide consulting services for aggregate compensation amounting to approximately €27,500 per month. The consulting agreements, while subject to modifications, commenced at separate dates and will also terminate at separate dates through April 2019.

Nasdaq Delisting

 

In August 2016, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq Markets for non-compliance with their listing rule 5550(b), which requires a minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum”). In February 2017, the Company completed a private offering which resulted in stockholders’ equity in excess of the Minimum; however, in its March 31, 2017 Form 10-Q, the Company again reported less than $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity. In May 2017, the Company received another letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company of non-compliance and its intent to delist MedoveX stock from trading on its exchange. The Company appealed this decision. The Nasdaq Appeals Panel gave the Company until November 13, 2017, to report a shareholders’ equity number of sufficient amount to not only meet the Minimum, but large enough to ensure the Company would not go below the threshold again in the coming year based on projected expenses.

 

At September 30, 2017, the Company’s stockholder equity was less than the Minimum. The Company was unable to secure investment at reasonable terms and at an amount sufficient to satisfy the conditions set by the Nasdaq Appeals Panel by their deadline of November 13, 2017. On November 14, 2017, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Company stock would no longer trade on its exchange after November 15, 2017. The Company applied to OTC Markets to trade on its OTCQB exchange, and the Company’s stock began trading on that exchange on November 16, 2017.

On August 16, 2017 the Company received a resignation letter from Mr. Steve Gorlin from his position as a director and Co-Chairmen of the Board of Directors of the Company. There were no disagreements between Mr. Gorlin and the Company.

 

On August 16, 2017, the Company appointed Mr. Jesse Crowne to fill Mr. Gorlin’s vacancy and to serve as a director and Co-Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management concluded that a material weakness existed in internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls. To achieve proper segregation of accounting related duties, the Company hired additional staff subsequent to September 30, 2017, to whom duties have been allocated so this material weakness can be corrected.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
