Explanatory Note

As disclosed in Item 4.02 of Form 8-K filed with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 16, 2020, on March 12, 2020 the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Apyx Medical Corporation (formerly known as Bovie Medical Corporation) (the “Company”) concluded, after review and discussion with management, that the Company’s financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 ( the “Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon.

Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Form 10-Q/A") amends and restates certain items noted below in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A amends the Original Filing to reflect the correction of an error in the previously reported financial statements related to the Company’s failure to properly collect and remit employee income and payroll taxes, and remit the employer portion of payroll taxes, resulting from the exercise of non-qualified stock options. In addition, the Company has also corrected other minor items primarily related to the appropriate cutoff of transactions at the balance sheet date and the duplicate recording of a State income tax payment, and has corrected its cost of sales and other operating expenses as a result of reevaluating its subsidiary consolidation process and discovering an inaccuracy in its accounting for the elimination of markup on intercompany sales.

As previously disclosed and adjusted in Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 2019 filed on November 11, 2019, the Company reevaluated its accounting for stock-based compensation expense and during the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company discovered errors in its accounting for certain items included in stock-based compensation expense. These errors related to its accounting for forfeitures, the vesting periods over which the expense was recognized, modifications, fair value measurements, and other minor miscellaneous items, all of which relate to the prior year. Additionally, the Company identified an issue relating to grants in the first quarter of 2019, whereby compensation was not recognized over the correct vesting period.

The Company also re-evaluated its accounting for pre-development activities on certain OEM contracts determined that it had not completed its performance obligations on its pre-development activities in these contracts. Accordingly, the Company determined that it had prematurely recognized revenues during the first quarter of 2019 relating to these activities and did not defer the accompanying costs.

See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 for additional information and a reconciliation of the previously reported amounts to the restated amounts.

For the convenience of the reader, this form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing, as amended, in its entirety; however, this Form 10-Q/A amends and restates only the following financial statements and disclosures that were impacted from the correction of the errors:

Part I, Item 1 - Financial Statements

Part I, Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Part II, Item 6 - Exhibits

Signatures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this filing in connection with this Form 10-Q/A(Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2),and the Company has provided its revised audited consolidated financial statements formatted in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in Exhibit 101.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. This Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events that may have occurred after the date of the Original Filing, or modify or update any disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.

The Company is also concurrently filing an amended Quarterly Report for the three and nine months ended September 31, 2018 to restate their previously issued interim financial statements due to several of the same accounting errors described above.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Apyx,” "Company" and similar terms refer to Apyx Medical Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a medical technology company and the developer of J-Plasma® (marketed and sold under the Renuvion™ Cosmetic Technology brand in the cosmetic surgery market), a patented plasma-based surgical product for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue. J-Plasma technology utilizes a helium ionization process to produce a stable, focused beam of plasma that provides surgeons with greater precision and minimal invasiveness. The Company also leverages its expertise through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.

On August 30, 2018, we closed on a definitive asset purchase agreement with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which we divested and sold our electrosurgical "Core" business segment and related intellectual property, including the Bovie® brand and trademarks, to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash. The divestiture and sale of our Core business segment to Symmetry allows us to further focus on our strategic objective of commercializing our J-Plasma technology, including the RenuvionTM brand in the cosmetic surgery market. We also entered into with Symmetry a transition services agreement, a Patent Licensing Agreement, a Disposables Supply Agreement, and a Generator Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, the latter of which will establish us as an OEM-provider of generators to Symmetry for a period of at least 10 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Core sales amounted to $6.5 million with cost of sales of $3.7 million and related operating expenses of $0.9 million, which are included in income from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we also entered into an Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for up to a four-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain Core products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Any revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are netted and reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other gains or losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Core sales following the divestiture amounted to $2.2 million with cost of sales of $2.1 million and related operating expenses of $0.1 million, which are included in other losses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we also entered into a Manufacture and Supply Agreement with Symmetry for a ten-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are reported in our Consolidated Statements as income or loss from operations of our OEM reporting segment.

We reclassified the financial results of the Core business to discontinued operations and from segment results for all periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, please refer to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT

Throughout 2019, the Company made efforts to remediate its material weaknesses in internal control as of December 31, 2018, including investing in new personnel that have expertise in a broad array of accounting topics. As a result of these investments and remediation efforts, the Company reevaluated the accounting for a broad array of items and discovered numerous immaterial errors. On March 12, 2020, our Management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, following discussion with our predecessor independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company's previously filed financial statements as of and for three months ended March 31, 2019, were no longer able to be relied upon as the result of the aggregation of errors identified by Management and the Company’s new accounting personnel during 2019 related to the following:

As identified during preparation of the fiscal year 2019 Form 10-K:

Table of Contents

APYX MEDICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

(Unaudited)

•

The Company reevaluated its subsidiary consolidation process and discovered an inaccuracy in its accounting for the elimination of markup on intercompany sales. This resulted in the Company incorrectly including the markup in US inventory purchased from Apyx Bulgaria and resulted in an overstatement of cost of sales and a corresponding understatement of other costs and expenses when the inventory was sold, which did not have any impact on net income (loss) or financial position.


◦	For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the total impact included increases to both gross profit and to operating expenses of approximately $113,000.

•

During the first quarter of 2020, while reconciling the 2019 income tax provision back to the corresponding records, we determined that when employees exercised non-qualified stock options, we did not collect and remit the employee’s income and payroll taxes on the exercises and did not accrue and remit the employer portion of payroll taxes. Due to statutory requirements, we have joint and several liability on the amounts that we did not withhold from employees and remit to the proper taxing authorities. While further investigating the issue, we determined that during 2018 we did not report the correct amount of income to employees on their form W-2 for both non-qualified and incentive stock option exercises and misclassified some non-qualified stock option exercises as incentive stock option exercises.


◦	For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the total aggregated impact included an increase to operating expenses of $16,000, an increase of approximately $301,000 to other losses and an increase to net loss of approximately $317,000.


•	Other minor items primarily related to the appropriate cutoff of transactions at the balance sheet date and the duplicate recording of a State income tax payment.


◦	For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the total aggregated impact included a decrease to operating loss of $90,000 and an increase to net loss of $40,000.

As previously disclosed and adjusted in Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 2019 filed on November 11, 2019:

•

The Company reevaluated its accounting for stock-based compensation expense and during the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company discovered errors in its accounting for certain items included in stock-based compensation expense. These errors related to its accounting for forfeitures, the vesting periods over which the expense was recognized, modifications, fair value measurements, and other minor miscellaneous items, all of which relate to the prior year. Additionally, the Company identified an issue relating to grants in the first quarter of 2019, whereby compensation was not recognized over the correct vesting period.


◦	For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the total impact included increases to operating expenses, operating loss and net loss of approximately $453,000 each.

•

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reevaluated its accounting for pre-development activities on certain OEM contracts. In performing the review, the Company determined that the it has not completed its performance obligations on its pre-development activities in these contracts. Accordingly, the Company determined that it had prematurely recognized revenues during the first quarter relating to these activities and did not defer the accompanying costs.


◦	For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the total impact included decreases to sales of approximately $194,000, decreases to operating expenses of approximately $77,000 and increases to both operating loss and net loss of approximately $117,000.

A reconciliation of the originally reported amounts to the restated amounts for the adjustments noted above for each of the affected periods is presented below.

NOTE 5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash Flows provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which are now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. Using the retrospective transition method required under the standard, the Company has adjusted the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 did not have any other impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU No. 2014-09 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2018, and we adopted the new accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach recognized any changes from the beginning of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods. We record revenue under ASC 606 at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. Based on the results of the evaluation, we have determined that the adoption of the new standard presents no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Application of the transition requirements of the new standard did not have a material impact on opening retained earnings. We have disaggregated revenue by segment and geography in Note 12 Geographic and Segment Information.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842), which became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. This new standard requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis, and classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Disclosures are required to provide the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In accordance with the standard, we took a modified retrospective transition approach and included the $178,000 right of use asset and corresponding liabilities in our property plant and equipment, accrued expenses and long term lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The lease is also represented in our consolidated statement of cash flows as a non cash investing activity.

No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding. The following table provides the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under our stock option plans, our board of directors may grant options to purchase common shares to our key employees, officers, directors and consultants. We account for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, with option expense amortized over the vesting period based on the trinomial lattice option-pricing model fair value on the grant date, which includes a number of estimates that affect the amount of our expense. We expensed approximately $1,195,000 in stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared with $372,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The status of our stock options and stock awards are summarized as follows:



	Number of options - as Restated		Weighted average exercise price - as Restated
Outstanding at December 31, 2018	3,254,799		$	3.18
Granted	1,277,500		7.73

Canceled and forfeited	(10,500	)	2.10
Outstanding at March 31, 2019	4,251,250		$	4.57

Common shares required to be issued upon the exercise of stock options would be issued from our authorized and unissued shares. We calculated the fair value of issued options utilizing a trinomial lattice with an expected life calculated via the simplified method as we do not have sufficient history to determine actual expected life.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense was $6,000 with an effective tax rate of -0.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to an expense of $11,000, with an effective tax rate of -0.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance on our net operating loss carry forward and foreign taxes of $6,000.

The following is a roll-forward of the Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest and penalties, for the period ended March 31, 2019.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Property and Rental Agreements

In October 2015, pursuant to our acquisition of Apyx Bulgaria, we became obligated to make lease payments of approximately $9,000 per month for approximately 20,000 square feet of office, research and manufacturing space in Sofia, Bulgaria. This lease expires in December 2020.

The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum lease payments under operating leases as of March 31, 2019:



(In thousands)
2019 (remaining 9 months)	$	80
2020	107
Total	$	187

On August 30, 2018, we paid the remaining mortgage balance of $2.5 million on the Clearwater facility, releasing us from any and all obligations to the Bank of Tampa.

Litigation

The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and we are and may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, and with respect to our products and product liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings.

We are involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our J-Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are adequately covered by insurance, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on our financial condition. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

In addition, as previously disclosed with the Commission on Form 8-K filed April 26, 2019, we have learned that on April 17, 2019, a complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida by plaintiff Kyle Pritchard, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated against the Company and Charles D. Goodwin (“Goodwin”), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Complaint (which as of the date hereof has not been delivered through formal process to the Company) seeks class action status on behalf of all persons and entities that acquired the Company’s securities between August 1, 2018 and April 1, 2019 and alleges violations by the Company and Goodwin of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, primarily related to certain public statements concerning the Premarket Notification 510(k) submission made to the US Food and Drug Administration for a new indication for the Company’s J-Plasma® technology for use in dermal resurfacing procedures. The Complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages.

Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty, the Company believes that the allegations stated in the Complaint are entirely without merit. The Company and Goodwin intend to defend themselves vigorously in the suit. Such claims are adequately covered by insurance, however, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with this claim could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows. Under the deductible portion of our insurance coverage, we have accrued $0.5 million for initial defense costs.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, we accrue a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded, actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 12. GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors.

Our reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as two operating segments: Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which were not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. Net assets are shared, therefore, not allocated to the reportable segments. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred.

Summarized financial information with respect to reportable segments is as follows:

NOTE 13. JOINT AND SEVERAL PAYROLL LIABILITY

As discussed in the Restatement Note (2), the Company did not report the correct amount of income to employees, nor did we collect and remit the employees' portion of income and payroll taxes, related to stock option exercises as required by the IRS. Due to IRS statutory requirements, we have joint and several liability for the full amount that was not withheld and remitted to the proper taxing authorities. This amount of the liability was approximately $1.0 million and $0.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 respectively. The Company has recognized these amounts in other losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. If we can establish that our employees have in fact paid these obligations, either presently or in the future, we will be relieved of our liability.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors discussed in this report and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent beliefs and assumptions as of the date of this report. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements and at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Executive Level Overview

We are a medical technology company and the developer of J-Plasma^® (marketed and sold under the Renuvion™ Cosmetic Technology brand in the cosmetic surgery market), a patented plasma-based surgical product for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue. J-Plasma technology utilizes a helium ionization process to produce a stable, focused beam of plasma that provides surgeons with greater precision and minimal invasiveness. We also leverage our expertise through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.

During 2019, we will continue our full-scale commercialization efforts for Renuvion. As of March 31, 2019, we had a direct sales force of 28 field-based selling professionals and a network of 7 independent sales agencies. We also had 4 sales managers. This selling organization is focused on the use of Renuvion in the cosmetic surgery market. In addition, we have invested in training programs and marketing-related activities to support accelerated adoption of Renuvion.

International sales represented approximately 29.5% and 18.8% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Management estimates our products have been sold in more than 40 countries through local dealers coordinated by sales and marketing personnel at the Clearwater, Florida facility.

As previously disclosed with the Commission on Form 8-K filed on April 4, 2019, we announced on April 1, 2019, that we voluntarily withdrew our application for premarket notification 510(k) regulatory clearance of our J-Plasma/Renuvion technology for use in dermal resurfacing procedures (see Note 9). While this is a delay in our commercialization efforts, we remain committed to working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration relative to the development of a new 510(k) submission.

On August 30, 2018, we closed on a definitive asset purchase agreement ("the Asset Purchase Agreement") with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which we divested and sold our electrosurgical "Core" business segment and related intellectual property, including the Bovie^® brand and trademarks, to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash. The divestiture and sale of our Core business segment to Symmetry allows us to further focus on our strategic objective of commercializing our J-Plasma technology, including the Renuvion^TM brand in the cosmetic surgery market. We also entered into with Symmetry a transition services agreement, Patent Licensing Agreement, a Disposables Supply Agreement, and a Generator Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, the latter of which will establish us as an OEM-provider of generators to Symmetry for a period of at least 10 years.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, we entered into an Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for up to a four-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain Core products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Any revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are netted and reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other gains or losses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Manufacture and Supply Agreement with Symmetry for a ten-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are reported in our Consolidated Statements as income or loss from operations of our OEM reporting segment.

Our reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as two operating segments: Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which are not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. Net assets are shared, therefore, not allocated to the reportable segments. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred.

We reclassified the financial results of the Core business to discontinued operations and from segment results for all periods presented. We strongly encourage investors to visit our website: www.apyxmedical.com to view the most current news and to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total revenue from continuing operations for first quarter 2019 increased $2.2 million, or 65.7%, to $5.6 million, compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Sales of the Company’s Advanced Energy generators and handpieces drove the increase in total revenue in first quarter 2019, with OEM segment sales contributing modestly to the year-over-year increase in total revenue from continuing operations during the first quarter 2019 period. Advanced Energy segment sales increased approximately $1.7 million, or 66.3% year-over-year, to $4.4 million, compared to approximately $2.6 million last year. OEM segment sales increased $0.5 million, or 63.8% year-over-year, to $1.3 million, compared to $0.8 million last year.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2019 increased approximately $1.4 million, or 61.1% year-over-year, to $3.6 million, compared to $2.2 million for first quarter of 2018. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2019 was 63.3%, compared to 65.1% last year. The primary drivers of the decrease in gross profit margin were Advanced Energy product mix and Advanced Energy sales outside the U.S., which represented a higher mix of total sales in the first quarter of 2019 compared to last year. OEM gross margins were lower in the first quarter of 2019 when compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by revenue related to our new Product, Manufacturing, and Supply agreements with Symmetry, which did not contribute to revenue results in the prior period.

Percentage of sales	62.0		%	53.0		%

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, salaries and related expenses increased approximately 93.6%, compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in employee stock option expense, increase in sales force, and reclassification of regulatory salaries from cost of goods sold.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 40.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to 2018. The increase was primarily driven by sales commissions and product sample expense. These increases are offset by an adjustment to our bad debt reserve which had a change in calculation due to a shift in our customer base following the disposition of our Core business.

Total interest income was higher for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared with 2018. This increase is primarily related to short term investments in U.S. Treasury Securities which we purchased with the proceeds from the sale of the Core business in September 2018.

rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance on our net operating loss carry forward and foreign taxes of $6,000.

As a result of historical losses exclusive of discontinued operations and the Company’s expectation to continue to generate losses in the near future, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of the operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable.

Product Development

We have developed most of our products and product improvements internally. Funds for this development have come primarily from our internal cash flow and equity issuances. We maintain close working relationships with physicians and medical personnel who assist in product research and development. New and improved products play a critical role in our sales growth. We continue to emphasize the development of proprietary products and product improvements to complement and expand our existing product lines. Our research and development team members are based in our Clearwater, Florida office and our facility in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Reliance on Collaborative, Manufacturing and Selling Arrangements

We manufacture the majority of our products on our premises in Clearwater, Florida and in Sofia, Bulgaria. Labor-intensive sub-assemblies and labor-intensive products may be out-sourced to our specification.

We also perform development services for OEM customers who have no legal obligation to purchase products from us. Should such customers fail to give us purchase orders for the product after development, our future business and value of related assets could be negatively affected. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that such customers will give sufficient high priority to our products. Additionally, we will function as an OEM-provider of generators to Symmetry for a period of at least 10 years.

We also have collaborative arrangements with two key foreign suppliers of certain items and components, and we purchase them pursuant to purchase orders. Our purchase order commitments are never more than one year in duration and are supported by our sales forecasts. The majority of our raw materials are purchased from sole-source suppliers. While we believe we could ultimately procure other sources for these components, should we experience any significant disruptions in this key supply chain, there are no assurances that we could do so in a timely manner which could render us unable to meet the demands of our customers, resulting in a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 30, 2018, we sold our Core business segment and other related assets for $97 million in cash. At December 31, 2018, we had approximately $78 million in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments, after making estimated Federal and State tax payments of $13.3 million. Our working capital at March 31, 2019 was approximately $76.7 million compared with $81.2 million at December 31, 2018.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities is approximately $5.1 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.1 million in 2018.

Net cash from investing activities is $20.8 million, primarily related the shift in categorization of short-term investments and cash equivalents in our Treasury Bill investments.

Cash from financing activities of approximately $0.1 million relates to cash collected for stock options during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Cash used in 2018 financing activities in financing activities in 2018 was $0.1 million related to the repayment of our mortgage at the Clearwater, FL, facility.

At March 31, 2019, we had purchase commitments for inventories totaling approximately $5.8 million, substantially all of which is expected to be purchased by the end of 2019.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we have adopted various accounting policies. Our most significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed on March 14, 2019.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to inventories, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, legal proceedings, research and development, warranty obligations, product liability, fair valued liabilities, sales returns and discounts, stock-based compensation and income taxes are updated as appropriate, which in most cases is at least quarterly. We base our estimates on historical experience, or various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and the results form the basis for making judgments about the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Our critical accounting estimates include the following:

Inventory reserves

We maintain a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory resulting from the potential inability to sell our products at prices in excess of current carrying costs. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, with new products and surgical procedures introduced on an ongoing basis. Such marketplace changes may cause our products to become obsolete. We make estimates regarding the future recoverability of the costs of these products and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based on historical experience and expected future trends. If actual product life cycles, product demand or acceptance of new product introductions are less favorable than projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required, which would unfavorably affect future operating results.

Long-lived assets

We review long-lived assets which are held and used, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such evaluations compare the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its expected useful life and are significantly impacted by estimates of future prices and volumes for our products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors that are inherently difficult to forecast. If the asset is considered to be impaired, we record an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique.

Stock-based Compensation

Under our stock option plan, options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted to key employees, officers and directors of the Company by the Board of Directors. The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation, with compensation expense amortized over the vesting period based on the trinomial lattice option-pricing model fair value on the grant date, which includes a number of estimates that affect the amount of our expense.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, state and local income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted marginal tax rates. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period.

As a result of historical losses exclusive of discontinued operations and the Company’s expectation to continue to generate losses in the near future, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of continuing operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable.

We assess the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examination. The Company’s 2015 through 2018 U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s state income tax returns are subject to examination for the tax years 2014 through 2018.

Inflation

Inflation has not materially impacted the operations of our Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at this time.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For our disclosures about market risk, please see Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. We believe there have been no material changes to the information provided therein.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of the material weaknesses described below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 was audited by Frazier & Deeter, LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in Part II, Item 8 of our most recent Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018, contains an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have identified three material weaknesses: (i) an ineffective control environment due to a lack of sufficient qualified accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience with generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) ineffective control activities due to the lack of documentation and timeliness in executing business process controls, and (iii) ineffective monitoring controls to ascertain whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.

As of March 31, 2019, we continue our remediation efforts related to these deficiencies.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses

We continue to make further enhancements to our control environment by improving documentation of internal controls, guidance in the performance of those controls, communication of expectations, and emphasis on the importance of internal controls. In addition, we continue to make improvements to the level of detail in our risk assessment and clarity of the linkage between risks and internal controls.

We continue to improve upon our risk assessment procedures and the timeliness of those procedures and continue to make progress towards addressing the weaknesses in information and communication beginning the process to better identify, document, and assess information used when performing internal controls.

We also are working to further enhance our policies, procedures, and controls for all key processes, which includes the training of personnel to ensure consistent application of accounting principles and adherence to the Company’s policies, procedures, and controls. We will also be implementing enhanced monitoring procedures to allow for more effective monitoring of compliance.

We will continue to work with third-party specialists, and we have retained a firm to assist us in our remediation efforts. We will also review, document, and (as needed) supplement our controls, with the goal of designing and implementing controls that not only better address both the accuracy and precision of management's review, but also enhance our ability to manage our business.

Management believes the steps outlined above, when fully implemented, will remediate the material weaknesses described above. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and management will continue to monitor the implementation of these remediation measures and the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
