Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC (“Stem Pearls”). BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. and its subsidiary are referred to collectively as “BRT” or the “Company” (See Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Principles of Consolidation). BRT develops therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. BRT’s website is at www.biorestorative.com. BRT is currently developing a Disc/Spine Program referred to as “brtxDISC”. Its lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. The product is intended to be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders. BRT is also engaging in research efforts with respect to a platform technology utilizing brown adipose (fat) for therapeutic purposes to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders and has labeled this initiative its ThermoStem Program. Further, BRT has licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or material to the spine and discs or other potential sites.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2018 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on April 2, 2018.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency of $8,741,382 and $8,938,147 respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred net losses of $2,925,261 and $8,947,344, respectively. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months from the filing date of this report.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity and debt financings. The Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans – Continued

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company has received aggregate debt financings of $1,138,980, debt (inclusive of accrued interest) of $1,303,023 has been exchanged for common stock, and $191,391 of debt (inclusive of accrued interest and prepayment premiums) has been repaid. As a result, the Company expects to have the cash required to fund its operations through December 2018 while it continues to apply efforts to raise additional capital. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful, the Company is in negotiations to raise additional capital. As of the filing date of this report, the Company has a note payable with a principal balance of $7,500 which is past due.

 

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Stem Pearls. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, warrants issued in connection with notes payable, derivative liabilities and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations

 

One license and the related royalties comprised all of the Company’s revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. See “Revenue Recognition” below.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes sublicensing and royalty revenue when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service is completed without further obligation, (iii) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In January 2012, the Company and a stem cell treatment company (“SCTC”) entered into a license agreement pursuant to which the SCTC granted to the Company a license to use certain intellectual property related to, among other things, stem cell disc procedures. Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company granted to the SCTC a non-exclusive sublicense to use certain of the licensed intellectual property in one location outside the United States. Pursuant to an amendment to the license agreement, effective November 30, 2015, the Company granted to the SCTC a non-exclusive sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in the United States, certain of the licensed intellectual property. In consideration of the sublicenses, the SCTC has agreed to pay the Company royalties on a per disc procedure basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized $26,000 and $82,000, respectively, of revenue related to the Company’s sublicenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $16,000 and $43,000, respectively, of revenue related to the Company’s sublicenses.

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

 

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

  [1] As of September 30, 2018, many of the convertible notes had variable conversion prices and the shares were estimated based on market conditions. Pursuant to the note agreements, there were 24,710,731 shares of common stock reserved for future note conversions.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) are registered, the Company estimates the fair value of the awards granted under the Plan based on the market value of its freely tradable common stock as reported on the OTCQB market. The fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees. Upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options (“ECOs”) and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying instrument. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

 

The Multinomial Lattice Model and Black-Scholes Model were used to estimate the fair value of the ECOs of convertible notes payable, warrants and stock options that are classified as derivative liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The models include subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the actual volatility during the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the instruments.

Sequencing Policy

 

Under ASC 815-40-35, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of securities to the Company’s employees or directors are not subject to the sequencing policy.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 - Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”) and most industry-specific guidance throughout ASC 605. The FASB has issued numerous updates that provide clarification on a number of specific issues as well as requiring additional disclosures. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The guidance may be adopted through either retrospective application to all periods presented in the financial statements (full retrospective approach) or through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the effective date (modified retrospective approach). The guidance was revised in July 2015 to be effective for emerging growth companies for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 using a modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2019. The Company has completed an analysis and preliminarily concluded that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity on the accounting for modifications of stock-based awards. ASU 2017-09 requires adoption on a prospective basis in the annual and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, for share-based payment awards modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Continued

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718),” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for nonemployee share-based payments. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share-based payment transactions are significantly different. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2018-07 and its impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, “Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2018-09”). These amendments provide clarifications and corrections to certain ASC subtopics including the following: Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Overall (Topic 220-10), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Topic 470-50), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity – Overall (Topic 480-10), Compensation - Stock Compensation - Income Taxes (Topic 718-740), Business Combinations - Income Taxes (Topic 805-740), Derivatives and Hedging – Overall (Topic 815-10), and Fair Value Measurement – Overall (Topic 820-10). The majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” (“ASU 2018-10”). The amendments in ASU 2018-10 provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on certain aspects of the previously issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) and have the same effective and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Upon the effective date, ASU 2018-10 will supersede the current lease guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Concurrently, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2018-10 is effective for emerging growth companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” (“ASU 2018-11”). The amendments in ASU 2018-11 related to transition relief on comparative reporting at adoption affect all entities with lease contracts that choose the additional transition method and separating components of a contract affect only lessors whose lease contracts qualify for the practical expedient. The amendments in ASU 2018-11 are effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements associated with fair value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2018-13 and its impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 – Notes Payable – Continued

 

Convertible Notes - Continued

 

Conversions, Exchanges and Other – Continued

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a lender to the Company acquired three convertible promissory notes issued by the Company in the aggregate outstanding amount of $407,295 (inclusive of accrued interest of $7,782) from a different lender to the Company. The Company exchanged the acquired notes for new convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $407,295 which accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable on the maturity date of August 30, 2019. Additionally, the conversion terms of the acquired notes were modified such that the new notes are convertible, at the option of holder, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the greater of (a) 65% (previously 80%) of fair value of the Company’s common stock or (b) $0.10 per share (previously $1.00 per share). The ECOs of the notes were subject to sequencing and their issuance date fair value of $260,377 was accounted for as a derivative liability (See Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities for additional details). Since the fair value of the new ECO exceeded 10% of the principal amount of the new notes, the note exchanges were accounted for as extinguishments, and accordingly the Company recognized a net loss on extinguishment of $58,942 in connection with the derecognition of the net carrying amount of $608,730 of the extinguished debt ($407,295 of aggregate principal and interest and the derivative liability carrying value of their ECOs of an aggregate of $201,435) and the issuance of the new convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount $407,295 plus the fair value of the new notes’ ECOs of an aggregate of $260,377.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company determined that certain ECOs of issued or extended convertible notes were derivative liabilities. The aggregate issuance date value of the bifurcated ECOs was $2,199,136, of which $1,938,759 was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the terms of the respective convertible notes and $260,377 was recognized as part of an extinguishment loss as described above. See Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities for additional details.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the contingently adjustable non-bifurcated, beneficial conversion features associated with certain convertible notes were resolved and such notes became convertible during the period. The Company estimated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features based upon the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the adjusted conversion price embedded in the convertible note. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $69,394 and $10,596, respectively, related to the beneficial conversion feature as debt discount which was immediately amortized.

 

Other Notes

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued a lender three-month notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $128,000, which bear no interest, for aggregate cash proceeds of $110,000. The $18,000 difference was recorded as debt discount and is being amortized over the terms of the respective notes. In connection with the issuances of the promissory notes, the Company issued the lender an aggregate of 6,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Consulting Agreements

 

In January 2018, a February 2011 agreement for business advisory services that had expired on December 31, 2017 was further amended. Pursuant to the amendment, the agreement was reinstated effective as of January 1, 2018 and provides for an expiration date of December 31, 2018. In consideration of the extension of the term of the consulting agreement, the Company issued to the consultant an immediately vested five-year warrant for the purchase of 30,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The aggregate grant date value of the warrant of $48,192 was recognized immediately as stock-based compensation expense which is reflected as consulting expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Concurrently, the Company and the consultant agreed to exchange $38,000 of accrued consulting fees for 19,000 shares of common stock of the Company and a two-year warrant for the purchase of 4,750 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, whose combined value is consistent with the carrying value of the liabilities being satisfied.

 

On July 10, 2018, as further amended on August 22, 2018, the Company entered into consulting agreement with a consultant for services through December 31, 2018. In consideration of the consulting services, the Company issued the consultant convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $170,000 which will be earned and recognized ratably over their respective consulting agreement term. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded an aggregate $131,935 of marketing and promotion expense for services rendered with a corresponding credit to notes payable. The notes mature at dates between January 2019 and February 2019 and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. Pursuant to the notes, the holder has the right, from time to time following the respective issue date, at its election, to convert all or part of the outstanding and earned principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company, at a price equal to the greater of (a) $0.10 per share, or (b) the lesser of (i) $1.75 per share and (ii) 65% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, as defined. The Company may prepay the notes prior to the maturity date provided the principal is prepaid in full, plus interest, plus a prepayment premium of 25% on the principal.

 

In July 2018, the Company and a consultant agreed to further extend a previously expired consulting agreement from May 2018 to December 2018. In consideration of the extension of the term of the consulting agreement, the Company issued to the consultant an immediately vested five-year warrant for the purchase of 35,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The aggregate grant date value of the warrant of $43,106 was recognized immediately as stock-based compensation expense which is reflected as consulting expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to serve as a member of its Scientific Advisory Board and provide advice and guidance in connection with scientific matters relating to the Company’s business. The agreement will continue until terminated by either party for any reason upon ten days written notice. In connection with the agreement, the Company issued the advisor a five-year option to purchase up to 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.70 per share. The options vest as follows: (i) 12,500 vest immediately and (ii) 12,500 vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. The option was subject to the Company’s sequencing policy and, as a result, the grant date fair value of the option of $35,400 was immediately recognized as stock based-compensation expense and recorded as a derivative liability. See Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities for additional details. In addition, on each one-year anniversary of the agreement date (as long as the consultant remains engaged), options to purchase an additional 5,000 shares are to be granted to the consultant which shall be exercisable for a period of five years from the respective dates of grant at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency

 

Warrant and Option Valuation

 

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at an annual rate ranging from 0% to 5% for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

 

Common Stock and Warrant Offering

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and five-year immediately vested warrants to purchase an aggregate of 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share to certain investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $175,000. The warrants had an aggregate issuance date fair value of $87,300, of which $75,000 was recorded as derivative liabilities in connection with the Company’s sequencing policy. See Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities for additional details.

 

Compensatory Common Stock Issuance

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 35,000 shares of immediately vested common stock valued at $52,500 to a consultant for services rendered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 10,000 shares of immediately vested common stock valued at $20,000 to a consultant for services rendered.

The shares were issued pursuant to a warrant repricing program under which the exercise price for certain outstanding and exercisable warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock of the Company was reduced to $2.00 per share (reduced from exercise prices ranging from $4.00 to $5.00 per share). The warrants were exercised over a limited period of time. In connection with the share issuances, the Company issued to the purchasers of such shares additional two-year warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 51,771 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The Company did not recognize a warrant modification charge as there was no incremental value of the modified warrants and additional warrants issued as compared to the original warrants, both valued as of the respective modification dates.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reduced the exercise price and extend the expiration date of a certain warrant held by an investor for the purchase of 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

Note 9 - Subsequent Events – Continued

 

Notes Payable

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, in consideration of consulting services to be performed, the Company issued the consultant a convertible note in the principal amount of $90,000. The note matures in April 2019 and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable at maturity. Pursuant to the note, the holder has the right, at its election, at certain times, to convert all or part of the outstanding and earned principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company at a price generally equal to the lesser of (i) $1.27 per share or (ii) 65% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The Company may prepay the note prior to the maturity date provided the principal is prepaid in full, plus interest, plus a prepayment premium of 25% on the principal.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, in addition to the convertible note described above, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,230,000 for aggregate cash proceeds of $1,138,980. The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum payable at maturity with original maturity dates ranging between April 2019 to October 2019. The convertible notes are convertible as follows: (i) $880,000 of aggregate principal and the respective accrued interest is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the election of the holder after the 180th day following the issue date at a conversion price equal to 58% of the fair value of the Company's common stock and (ii) $350,000 of principal and the respective accrued interest is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder at any time immediately on or after the issue date until the balance has been paid in full at a conversion price equal to 58% of the fair value of the Company's common stock. In connection with the issuances of certain convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $635,000, the Company issued to certain lenders an aggregate of 24,916 shares of common stock of the Company. The issuance date fair value of the common stock will be recorded as a debt discount and will be amortized over the terms of the respective notes. In the event that the Company elects to prepay any of the respective notes during the first ninety-day period following the issue date, the holder is entitled to receive a prepayment premium of up to 35%, depending on the note, of the then outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. In the event that the Company elects to prepay any of the notes during the second ninety-day period following the issue date, the holder is entitled to receive a prepayment premium up to 40%, depending on the note, of the then outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. Of the aforementioned note issuances, a certain note in the principal amount of $55,000 may be redeemed, in cash, at a premium of 35% of the then outstanding principal and balance and accrued interest during the period between 150 days to 179 days following the respective issuance date.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company and certain lenders agreed to exchange an aggregate principal amount of $1,211,422 and aggregate accrued interest of $91,601 of certain convertible notes payable for an aggregate of 1,707,181 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging from $0.59 to $1.01 per share.

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company repaid an aggregate principal amount of $135,022 of convertible notes payable, $6,749 of the respective aggregate accrued interest and an aggregate of $49,620 of prepayment premiums.

Overview

 

We develop therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult (non-embryonic) stem cells. We are currently pursuing our Disc/Spine Program with our initial therapeutic product being called BRTX-100. In January 2017 we announced that we had submitted an IND application to the FDA to obtain authorization to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial using our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, to investigate the use of the candidate in treating chronic lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease related to painful lumbosacral disc disorders. In February 2017, we received such authorization from the FDA. We intend to commence clinical trial related activities during the second quarter of 2019 (assuming the receipt of necessary funding). We have obtained a license to use technology for adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the legs and feet. We are also developing our ThermoStem Program. This pre-clinical program involves the use of brown adipose (fat) in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies. A United States patent related to the ThermoStem Program was issued in September 2015, an Australian patent related to the ThermoStem Program was issued in August 2017, and a Japanese patent related to the ThermoStem Program was issued in December 2017.

 

We have licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or materials to the spine and discs or other potential sites.

 

Our offices are located in Melville, New York where we have established a laboratory facility in order to increase our capabilities for the further development of possible cellular-based treatments, products and protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property and translational research applications.

As of September 30, 2018, our accumulated deficit was $60,351,797, our stockholders’ deficiency was $8,938,147 and our working capital deficiency was $8,741,382. We have historically only generated a modest amount of revenue, and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in research and development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products and services, plus costs associated with meeting the requirements of being a public company. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for these activities over at least the next year. These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date.

 

Based upon our working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2018, and our forecast for continued operating losses, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. As of September 30, 2018, our outstanding debt of $4,929,117, with interest at rates ranging between 0% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through September 2019. Subsequent to September 30, 2018, we have received aggregate debt financings of $1,138,980, debt (inclusive of accrued interest) of $1,303,023 has been exchanged for common stock, and $191,391 of debt (inclusive of accrued interest and prepayment premiums) has been repaid. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have a note payable in the principal amount of $7,500 which is past due. Based upon our working capital deficiency and outstanding debt, we expect to be able to fund our operations through December 2018 while we continue to apply efforts to raise additional capital. We anticipate that we will require approximately $20,000,000 in financing to commence and complete a Phase 2 clinical trial with regard to our Disc/Spine Program. We anticipate that we will require approximately $45,000,000 in further additional funding to complete our clinical trials using BRTX-100 (assuming the receipt of no revenues). We will also require a substantial amount of additional funding if we determine to establish a manufacturing operation with regard to our Disc/Spine Program (as opposed to utilizing a third party manufacturer) and to implement our other programs, including our metabolic ThermoStem Program. No assurance can be given that the anticipated amounts of required funding are correct or that we will be able to accomplish our goals within the timeframes projected. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain any required financing on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise.

 

We are currently seeking several different financing alternatives to support our future operations and are currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to our outstanding indebtedness. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

The following table presents selected items in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively:

 

   For The Three Months Ended 
   September 30, 
   2018   2017

Revenues

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we generated $26,000 and $16,000, respectively, of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement.

 

Marketing and promotion

 

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, marketing and promotion expenses increased by $148,173, from $6,988 to $155,161 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is primarily due to the engagement of a marketing consultant in 2018 for which there was no similar expense in 2017.

 

We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will continue to increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following any full commercialization of our products and services.

 

Consulting

 

Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, consulting expenses decreased by $106,316, or 20%, from $523,917 to $417,601, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction of approximately $155,000 of stock-based compensation to consultants in the three months ended September 30, 2018, partially offset by an increased use of consultants in connection with clinical trials and strategic planning.

 

 29 
 

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific Advisory Board members; (c) our former President, Disc/Spine Division (in 2017); and (d) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, research and development expenses decreased by $133,218, or 27%, from $490,654 to $357,436, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in research and development staffing.

 

We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of our research and development staff but including corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses). For the three months ended September 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses decreased by $453,605, or 61%, from $738,077 to $284,472, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction of stock option amortization of approximately $770,000, partially offset by $88,000 of salary expenses in connection with a new Senior VP, an increase of approximately $167,000 in professional fees related to legal and financial services rendered and the initiatives associated with raising capital.

 

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

 

Interest expense

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense increased $143,096 or 125%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due to an increase in interest-bearing short-term borrowings and the amortization of related cash discounts as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Amortization of debt discount

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, amortization of debt discount increased $380,511, or 238%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due to the timing of the recognition of debt discount amortization related to bifurcated embedded conversion options (“ECOs”) of notes and other original issue discount expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net, of $320,383, which is associated with debt repayments and investors’ exchanges of debt into equity securities. We did not record a gain or loss on extinguishment of notes payable for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a net loss related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $615,322, as compared to a net loss of $15,311 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to increased convertible note issuances with ECOs that were bifurcated because they were deemed to be derivative liabilities (in some cases, as a result of sequencing).

 

Warrant modification expense

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded expense related to the modification of the expiration dates and exercise prices of certain outstanding warrants of $3,100 and $18,962, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, consulting expenses decreased $594,876, or 32%, from $1,863,361 to $1,268,485, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction of approximately $645,000 of stock-based compensation to consultants in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, partially offset by an increased use of consultants in connection with clinical trials and strategic planning.

 

 31 
 

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific Advisory Board members; (c) our former President, Disc/Spine Division; and (d) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives.

The decrease is primarily related to a reduction of stock option amortization of approximately $622,000, partially offset by $228,000 of salary expenses in connection with a new Senior VP, an increase of approximately $170,000 in professional fees related to legal and financial services rendered and the initiatives associated with raising capital and approximately $104,000 related to our Chief Executive Officer’s bonuses in 2018.

 

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

 

Interest expense

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest expense increased $341,534, or 111%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due to an increase in interest-bearing short-term borrowings and the related cash discounts being amortized as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, amortization of debt discount increased $1,507,230, or 400%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was due to the timing of the recognition of debt discount amortization related to bifurcated ECOs of notes and other original issue discount expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net, of $384,171, which is associated with debt repayments and investors’ exchanges of debt into equity securities, as compared to a loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net, of $59,938 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The increase was primarily due to increased convertible note issuances with ECOs that were bifurcated and deemed to be derivative liabilities (in some cases, as a result of sequencing).

 

 32 
 

 

Warrant modification expense

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded expense related to the modification of the expiration dates and exercise prices of certain outstanding warrants of $3,100 and $23,462, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

  

September 30,

2018

  

December 31,

2017

 
Cash  $105,374   $451,680 
           
Working Capital Deficiency  $(8,741,382)  $(7,833,592)
           
Notes Payable (Gross)  $4,929,117   $3,999,335 

 

Availability of Additional Funds

 

Based upon our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $8,741,382 and $8,938,147, respectively, as of September 30, 2018, we require additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months from the date of this filing.

 

As of September 30, 2018, our outstanding debt of $4,929,117, together with interest at rates ranging between 0% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through September 2019. Subsequent to September 30, 2018, we have received aggregate debt financings of $1,138,980, debt (inclusive of accrued interest) of $1,303,023 has been exchanged for common stock, and $191,391 of debt (inclusive of accrued interest and prepayment premiums) has been repaid. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have a note payable in the principal amount of $7,500 which is past due. As of the date of filing, our outstanding debt was as follows:

 

   Principal 
Maturity Date  Amount 
Past Due  $7,500 
QE 12/31/2018   720,000 
QE 3/31/2019   1,540,293 
QE 6/30/2019   1,444,042 
QE 9/30/2019   1,082,933 
QE 12/31/2019   85,000

Based upon our working capital deficiency, outstanding debt and forecast for continued operating losses we expect that the cash we currently have available will fund our operations through December 2018. Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes). Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

 

We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 in the amounts of $3,551,542 and $2,494,088, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $8,947,344, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $5,150,620, plus $245,182 of cash generated by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of decreases in accrued interest, expenses and other current liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $7,585,025, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $3,989,867 plus $1,101,070 of cash generated by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accounts payable, plus accrued interest, expenses and other current liabilities.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $12,869, due to cash used for the purchase of office and computer equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was no net cash used in or provided by investing activities.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $3,218,105 and $2,463,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, $2,628,937 of net proceeds were from debt financings and $589,168 of proceeds were from equity financings (including proceeds received in connection with the exercise of common stock purchase warrants). During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $1,264,000 of net proceeds were from debt financings and other borrowings and $1,199,000 of proceeds were from equity financings (including proceeds received in connection with the exercise of common stock purchase warrants).

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018, except as follows:

 

We have adopted a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to our inability to demonstrate we have sufficient authorized shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of authorized but unissued shares, and all future instruments being classified as a derivative liability, with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

For a description of our recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

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 investors.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Not applicable. See, however, Item 7 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act as a security exchanged by an issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and press releases made by us), and we were available to answer questions by prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor. The proceeds were used to reduce our working capital deficiency and for other corporate purposes.
