Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Our expectations are as of the date this Annual Report is filed, and we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Annual Report is filed to confirm these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
This Annual Report also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other industry data. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. We have not independently verified the statistical and other industry data generated by independent parties and contained in this Annual Report and, accordingly, we cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness, though we do generally believe the data to be reliable. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industries in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the possibility that we may fail to preserve our expertise in search medical device development; that existing and potential distribution partners may opt to work with, or favor the products of, competitors if our competitors offer more favorable products or pricing terms; that we may be unable to maintain or grow sources of revenue; that changes in the distribution network composition may lead to decreases in query volumes; that we may be unable to attain and maintain profitability; that we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel; that we may not be able to effectively manage, or to increase, our relationships with international customers; that we may have unexpected increases in costs and expenses; or that one or more of the other risks described below in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report may occur. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.
MedoveX was incorporated in Nevada on July 30, 2013 as SpinezSpineZ Corp. MedoveX is the parent company of Debride Inc., (“Debride”), which was incorporated under the laws of Florida on October 1, 2012 but did not commence operations until February 1, 2013. SpinezSpineZ Corp. changed its name to MedoveX Corp. and effected a 2-for-1 reverse split of its stock in March 2014.
The goalCompany is in the business of designing and marketing proprietary medical devices for commercial use in the United States and Europe. The Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the DenerveX System and it is now commercially available throughout the European Union and several other countries that accept CE marking. The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in July 2017. The Company isstill intends to obtain, develop and commercialize various intellectual property rights (patents, patent applications, knowhow, etc.seek approval for the DenerveX System from the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the medical technology area,United States.
In October 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), and subsequently amended in January 2019 (the “APA Amendment”) with particular focusRegenerative Medicine Solutions, LLC (“RMS”), Lung Institute LLC, RMS Lung Institute Management LLC, Cognitive Health Institute Tampa, LLC, RMS Shareholder, LLC and RMS Acquisition Corp. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of the assets of RMS, Cognitive Health Institute Tampa, LLC, Lung Institute LLC and RMS Lung Institute Management LLC. The Company executed the Asset Purchase Agreement on the development of medical devices. We intend to leverage the extensive experience of our board of directors and management team in the medical industry to seek out product candidates for licensing, acquisition or development.
The DenerveX Device
Our first acquisition was the DenerveX device. We believe that the DenerveX device can be developedused to encompass a number ofseveral medical applications, including pain relief.
The Company acquired the DenerveX patent on January 31, 2013 from Scott Haufe, M.D. (“Dr. Haufe”), a former director of the Company, in exchange for 750,108 shares of common stock in the Company and a 1% royalty on all sales of any product sold based on the patent. In September 2013, we entered into a Co-Development Agreement with James Andrews, M.D. (“Dr. Andrews”), a former director of the Company, whereby Dr. Andrews committed to further evaluate the DenerveX device and to seek to make modifications and improvements to such technology. In exchange for such services, the Company agreed to pay Dr. Andrews a royalty equal to two (2%) percent of the DenerveX net sales during the five (5) year term of the Co-Development Agreement. Upon the termination of the term of the Co-Development Agreement, which has a minimum term of five (5) years, then the royalty payable to Dr. Andrews shall be reduced to one (1%) percent of DenerveX net sales after such termination of products covered by any U.S. patent on which Dr. Andrews is listed as a co-inventor; if any such patents are obtained. Such one (1%) percent royalty shall continue during the effectiveness of such patent. Pursuant to the Co-Development Agreement, Dr. Andrews agreed to assign any modifications or improvements to the DenerveX to the Company subject to the royalty rights described above.
We are marketing the product as a disposable, single-use kit which will includeincludes all components of the DenerveX device product. In addition to the DenerveX device itself, we are developinghave developed a dedicated Electro Surgical Generator, the DenerveX Pro-40, generator, to power the DenerveX device. There is currently no finished good product of the DenerveX device in inventory as commercial production is currently on-hold. The Company anticipates the resumption of manufacturing in Q4 2019.
The generator would beis provided to customers agreeing to purchase the DenerveX device and could notcannot be used for any other purpose.
We accepted a proposal from Devicix, a Minneapolis, Minnesota third party design and development firm located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in November 2013, to develop a prototype device. This proposal included a 5 phase5-phase development plan, culminating in the production of aready prototype that could be used for validation purposes. Currently we are finalizingWe have recently completed the final stages of the build and test phase of the device, culminating in receiving CE marking to market the product in Europe. The DenerveX Kit and Pro-40 generator is now in commercial production. We anticipate very minimal, if any, additional build and test related expenses, which focuses on completionconsists of the product design verification testing, design optimizationactivities, in the future as required, andwe launch the completion of manufacturing transfer.DenerveX System in Europe. Through December 31, 2016,2018, we have incurred expenses of approximately $1,547,000 for product development services provided by$1,950,000 to Devicix.

In November 2014, we selected Nortech Systems Inc. (“Nortech”), a Minneapolis, Minnesota based U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)Minnesota-based FDA registered contract manufacturer, to produce 315test DenerveX devices from the prototype supplied by Devicix for use in final development and non-clinical testing. OurThe agreement with Nortech includes agreed-uponagreed upon per unit prices for delivery of the devices. Actual work on development of the final units began in November 2014. Through December 31, 2016,2018, we have paidincurred expenses of approximately $744,000$997,000 to Nortech.
Also in November 2014, we engaged Bovie Medical Corporation (“Bovie”), a Delaware Corporation, to develop ourthe Electro Surgical Generator the DenerveX Pro-40 generator, and provide post production support services. Per our agreement with Bovie, we are invoiced based on deliverables produced by Bovie, which was originally supposed to amount to $295,000 upon completion of all the deliverables. Through December 31, 2016,2018, we have paidincurred expenses of approximately $389,000$441,000 to Bovie. A
Additional requirements were incurred beyondas the initial agreementresearch and development process progressed and as a result certain prices increased and additional costs were incurred to further customization has been necessary beyond predetermined estimates.
Streamline, Inc.Divestiture.Divestiture
In May 2016, the Board of Directors authorized management to seek buyers for Streamline, Inc., (“Streamline”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary acquired in March 2015. The Company sold all Streamline related assets on December 7, 2016 (the “Closing”). This transaction provided funds needed to complete the development and launch of the Company’s primary product, the DenerveX System, and the decision to sell the Streamline assets helped raise part of the necessary funds required for continuing operations of the Company in a non-dilutive manner to existing shareholders.
The transaction resulted in the immediate receipt of $500,000 in cash, and a $150,000 receivable to the Company due on or before January 1, 2018.
The terms of the agreement also required that for each of the calendar years ending December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 (each such calendar year, a “Contingent Period”), a contingent payment in cash (each, a “Contingent Payment”) equal to five percent (5%) of the total net sales received by the acquiring party from the sale of “IV suspension system” products in excess of 100 units during each Contingent Period. Each such Contingent Payment is payable to the Company by the acquiring party by no later than March 31stof the subsequent year; provided, however, that the total aggregate amount of all Contingent Payments owed by the acquiring party to the Company for all Contingent Periods will not exceed $850,000.The Company is yet to receive any Contingent Payments and has no reason to expect it will receive any Contingent Payments.
Competition
Developing and commercializing new products is highly competitive. The market is characterized by extensive research and clinical efforts and rapid technological change. We face intense competition worldwide from medical device, biomedical technology and medical products and combination products companies, including major medical products companies. We may be unable to respond to technological advances through the development and introduction of new products. Most of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, sales, distribution, manufacturing and technological resources. These competitors may also be in the process of seeking FDA or other regulatory approvals, or patent protection, for new products. Our competitors may commercialize new products in advance of our products. Our products also face competition from numerous existing products and procedures, which currently are considered part of the standard of care. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets are:
● | the quality of outcomes for medical conditions; |
● | acceptance by surgeons and the medical device market generally; |
● | ease of use and reliability; |
● | technical leadership and superiority; |
● | effective marketing and distribution; |
● | speed to market; and |
● | product price and qualification for coverage and reimbursement. |
2 |
We will also compete in the marketplace to recruit and retain qualified scientific, management and sales personnel, as well as in acquiring technologies and licenses complementary to our products or advantageous to our business.
We are aware of several companies that compete or are developing technologies in our current and future products areas. With regard to the DenerveX System, we believe that our principal competitors include device manufacturers Cosman Medical Inc., Stryker Corporation and Spembly Medical Systems. We may also face competition from developing, but potentially untested technologies such as Zyga’s GLYDER device. In order to compete effectively, our products will have to achieve widespread market acceptance, receive adequate insurance coverage and reimbursement, be cost effective and be simultaneously safe and effective.
Customers
Healthcare providers, physicians and third-party payors in the United States and elsewhere play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of any products for which we obtain marketing approval.
We anticipate selling the DenerveX System in Europe priorsell to commercialization in the United States. We will utilize the experience of local distributors in the countries where we pursue marketingcurrently sell the DenerveX System once approvalwith the exception of Germany, where we sell directly to hospitals and providers . There is obtained.
Intellectual Property
A key element of our success depends on our ability to identify and create proprietary medical device technologies. In order to proactively protect those proprietary technologies, we intend to continue to develop and enforce our intellectual property rights in patents, trademarks and copyrights, as available through registration in the United States and internationally, as well as through the use of trade secrets, domain names and contractual agreements such as confidentiality agreements and proprietary information agreements.
Currently, our intellectual property rights include the intellectual property acquired from Debride, Inc., which includes the U.S. Patent 8,167,879 B2 (the “Patent”). The Patent was originally filed in 2009 and was issued on May 1, 2012. We intend to leverage the Patent to the fullest extent possible through market development and prosecution of our rights under the Patent.
In addition, we have filed 33 additional US and International patents, of which 21 are pending, 8 are pending published, and 4 have been granted. These patents cover a total of 885 claims both in the United States and Internationally.
The term of individual patents depends upon the legal term of the patents in the countries in which they are obtained. In most countries in which we file, the patent term is 20 years from the earliest date of filing a non-provisional patent application. In the United States, a patent’s term may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over another patent or as a result of delays in patent prosecution by the patentee, and a patent’s term may be lengthened by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for administrative delays by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in granting a patent.
We intend to continually re-assess and refine our intellectual property strategy in order to fortify our position in our market space in the United States and internationally. To that end, we are prepared to file additional patent applications should our intellectual property strategy require such filings and/or where we seek to adapt to competition or seize business opportunities.
Many biotechnology companies and academic institutions are competing with us in the medical device field and filing patent applications potentially relevant to our business. Internally, we have established business procedures designed to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, including the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, independent contractors, consultants and companies with which we conduct business. Also, we generally require employees to assign patents and other intellectual property to us as a condition of employment with us.
In order to contend with the inevitable possibility of third party intellectual property conflicts, we review and assess the third-party intellectual property landscape for competitive and other developments that may inform or impact our intellectual property development and commercialization strategies. We may find it necessary or prudent to obtain licenses from third party intellectual property holders. Where licenses are readily available at reasonable cost, such licenses are considered a normal cost of doing business. In other instances, however, where a third party holds relevant property and is a direct competitor, a license might not be available on commercially reasonable terms or available at all. We will attempt to manage the risk that such third party intellectual property may pose by conducting, among other measures, freedom-to-operate studies to guide our early-stage research away from areas where we are likely to encounter obstacles in the form of third party intellectual property.

Government Regulations
Government authorities in the United States, at the federal, state and local level, and in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, approval, labeling, packaging, storage, record-keeping, promotion, advertising, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, marketing and export and import of products such as those we are developing. Any product that we develop must be approved by the FDA before they may be legally marketed in the United States and by the appropriate foreign regulatory agency before they may be legally marketed in foreign countries.
European Union and Other Country Approvals
The Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the DenerveX System. It can now be sold throughout the European Union and countries that accept CE Mark.
Aside from the European Union, we may seek regulatory approval for commercialization of the DenerveX System from Columbia, Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Turkey, Israel, New Zealand, Australia and other countries where the management of the Company deems it to be suitable for commercialization. The documentation required to accompany the CE Mark to obtain regulatory approval in the aforementioned countries may include copies of the ISO 13485 certification, the SGS certificate of approval and a statement of Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”).
FDA Regulation
The DenerveX System and any other product we may develop must be approved or cleared by the FDA before it is marketed in the United States. Before and after approval or clearance in the United States, our products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and/or the Public Health Service Act, as well as by other regulatory bodies.
FDA regulations govern, among other things, the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, safety, storage, record-keeping, market clearance or approval, advertising and promotion, import and export, marketing and sales, and distribution of medical devices and products.
In the United States, the FDA subjects medical products to rigorous review. If we do not comply with applicable requirements, we may be fined, the government may refuse to approve our marketing applications or to allow us to manufacture or market our products, and we may be criminally prosecuted. Failure to comply with the law could result in, among other things, warning letters, civil penalties, delays in approving or refusal to approve a product, product recall, product seizure, interruption of production, operating restrictions, suspension or withdrawal of product approval, injunctions, or criminal prosecution.
FDA Approval or Clearance of Medical Devices
In the United States, medical devices are subject to varying degrees of regulatory control and are classified in one of three classes depending on the extent of controls the FDA determines are necessary to reasonably ensure their safety and efficacy:
● | Class I: general controls, such as labeling and adherence to quality system regulations; |
● | Class II: special controls, pre-market notification (often referred to as a 510(k) application), specific controls such as performance standards, patient registries, post market surveillance, additional controls such as labeling and adherence to quality system regulations; and |
● | Class III: special controls and approval of a pre-market approval (“PMA”) application. |
In general, the higher the classification, the greater the time and cost to obtain approval to market. There are no “standardized” requirements for approval, even within each class. For example, the FDA could grant 510(k) status, but require a human clinical trial, a typical requirement of a PMA. They could also initially assign a device Class III status, but end up approving a device as a 510(k) device if certain requirements are met. The range of the number and expense of the various requirements is significant. The quickest and least expensive pathway would be 510(k) approvalclearance with a just a review of existing data. The longest and most expensive path would be a PMA with extensive randomized human clinical trials. We cannot predict how the FDA will classify the DenerveX device, nor predict what requirements will be placed upon us to obtain market approval or clearance, or even if they will approveallow marketing of the DenerveX device at all. However, we believe the pathway that will be required by the FDA will be somewhere between the two extremes described above.
4 |
We still intend to apply to the FDA for 510(k) clearance for our DenerveX device. However, it is very possible the FDA will deny this request and require the more expensive de novo classification process or possibly the PMA process. It is possible that the company may choose to directly pursue the de novo classification process without filing a 510K which could reduce the overall FDA review time. The Company has budgeted based on the assumption that the PMA process will be required.
To request marketing authorization by means of a 510(k) clearance, we must submit a pre-market notification demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to another currently legally marketed medical device, has the same intended use, and is as safe and effective as a currently legally marketed device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than does a currently legally marketed device.
510(k) submissions generally include, among other things, a description of the device and its manufacturing, device labeling, medical devices to which the device is substantially equivalent, safety and biocompatibility information, and the results of performance testing.
In some cases, a 510(k) submission must include data from human clinical studies. We believe that other medical devices which have been approved by the FDA have many aspects that are substantially similar to the DenerveX device, which may make obtaining 510(k) clearance possible. Marketing may commence only when the FDA issues a clearance letter finding substantial equivalence.
After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any product modification that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the product, or that would constitute a significant change in intended use, requires a new 510(k) clearance or, if the device would no longer be substantially equivalent, would require PMA. In addition, any additional claims the Company wished to make at a later date, such as the permanent relief of pain, may require a PMA. If the FDA determines that the product does not qualify for 510(k) clearance, they will issue a Not Substantially Equivalent letter, at which point the Company must submit and the FDA must approve a PMA or a de Novo classification before marketing can begin.
During the review of a 510(k) submission, the FDA may request more information or additional studies and may decide that the indications for which we seek approval or clearance should be limited. In addition, laws and regulations and the interpretation of those laws and regulations by the FDA may change in the future. We cannot foresee what effect, if any, such changes may have on us.
Clinical Trials of Medical Devices
One or more clinical trials are becomingmay be necessary to support an FDA submission. Clinical studies of unapproved or un-cleared medical devices or devices being studied for uses for which they are not approved or cleared (investigational devices) must be conducted in compliance with FDA requirements. If an investigational device could pose a significant risk to patients, the sponsor company must submit an Investigational Device Exemption, or "IDE"“IDE” application to the FDA prior to initiation of the clinical study. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device on humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the company that the investigation may not begin. Clinical studies of investigational devices may not begin until an institutional review board ("IRB"(“IRB”) has approved the study.
During any study, the sponsor must comply with the FDA’s IDE requirements. These requirements include investigator selection, trial monitoring, adverse event reporting, and record keeping. The investigators must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of investigational devices, and comply with reporting and record keeping requirements. We, the FDA, or the IRB at each institution at which a clinical trial is being conducted, may suspend a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable risk. During the approval or clearance process, the FDA typically inspects the records relating to the conduct of one or more investigational sites participating in the study supporting the application.
5 |
Post-Approval Regulation of Medical Devices
After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:
● | the FDA Quality Systems Regulation |
● | labeling and claims regulations, which prohibit the promotion of products for unapproved or “off-label” uses and impose other restrictions on labeling; and |
● | the Medical Device Reporting regulation, which requires reporting to the FDA of certain adverse experiences associated with use of the product. |
We will continue to be subject to inspection by the FDA to determine our compliance with regulatory requirements.
Manufacturing cGMP Requirements
Manufacturers of medical devices are required to comply with FDA manufacturing requirements contained in the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP"(“cGMP”) set forth in the quality system regulations promulgated under section 520 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. cGMP regulations require, among other things, quality control and quality assurance as well as the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Failure to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements subjects a manufacturer to possible legal or regulatory action, including the seizure or recall of products, injunctions, consent decrees placing significant restrictions on or suspending manufacturing operations, and civil and criminal penalties. Adverse experiences with the product must be reported to the FDA and could result in the imposition of marketing restrictions through labeling changes or in product withdrawal. Product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory requirements is not maintained or if problems concerning safety or efficacy of the product occur following the approval.
International Regulation
We are subject to regulations and product registration requirements in many foreign countries in which we may seek to sell our products, including in the areas of product standards, packaging requirements, labeling requirements, import and export restrictions and tariff regulations, duties and tax requirements. The time required to obtain clearance required by foreign countries may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance, and requirements for licensing a product in a foreign country may differ significantly from FDA requirements.
European Good Manufacturing Practices
In the European Union, the manufacture of medical devices is subject to good manufacturing practice ("GMP"(“GMP”), as set forth in the relevant laws and guidelines of the European Union and its member states. Compliance with GMP is generally assessed by the competent regulatory authorities. Typically, quality system evaluation is performed by a Notified Body, which also recommends to the relevant competent authority for the European Community CE Marking of a device. The Competent Authority may conduct inspections of relevant facilities, and review manufacturing procedures, operating systems and personnel qualifications. In addition to obtaining approval for each product, in many cases each device manufacturing facility must be audited on a periodic basis by the Notified Body. Further inspections may occur over the life of the product.
Our third party manufacturer hasthird-party manufacturers have ISO certification which is generally one of the requirements for approval under the guidelines established in the European Union.
United States Anti-Kickback and False Claims Laws
In the United States, there are Federal and state anti-kickback laws that prohibit the payment or receipt of kickbacks, bribes or other remuneration intended to induce the purchase or recommendation of healthcare products and services. Violations of these laws can lead to civil and criminal penalties, including exclusion from participation in Federal healthcare programs. These laws are potentially applicable to manufacturers of products regulated by the FDA as medical devices, and hospitals, physicians and other potential purchasers of such products. Other provisions of Federal and state laws provide civil and criminal penalties for presenting, or causing to be presented, to third-party payers for reimbursement, claims that are false or fraudulent, or which are for items or services that were not provided as claimed. In addition, certain states have implemented regulations requiring medical device and pharmaceutical companies to report all gifts and payments of over $50 to medical practitioners. This does not apply to instances involving clinical trials.
6 |
Although we intend to structure our future business relationships with clinical investigators and purchasers of our products to comply with these and other applicable laws, it is possible that some of our business practices in the future could be subject to scrutiny and challenge by Federal or state enforcement officials under these laws.
Research, Product Development and Technical Operations Expense
Research and development costs and expenses consist primarily of fees paid to external service providers, laboratory testing, supplies, costs for facilities and equipment, and other costs for research and development activities. Research and development expenses are recorded in operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Estimates have been used in determining the expense liability of certain costs where services have been performed but not yet invoiced.
We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract for external service providers for activities through communications with the service providers to reflect the actual amount expended.
Employees

The DenerveX Device
Our first acquisition was the DenerveX device. We believe that the DenerveX device can be developedused to encompass a number ofseveral medical applications, including pain relief.
The Company acquired the DenerveX patent on January 31, 2013 from Scott Haufe, M.D. (“Dr. Haufe”), a former director of the Company, in exchange for 750,108 shares of common stock in the Company and a 1% royalty on all sales of any product sold based on the patent.

Upon the termination of the term of the Co-Development Agreement, which has a minimum term of five (5) years, then the royalty payable to Dr. Andrews shall be reduced to one (1%) percent of DenerveX net sales after such termination of products covered by any U.S. patent on which Dr. Andrews is listed as a co-inventor; if any such patents are obtained. Such one (1%) percent royalty shall continue during the effectiveness of such patent. Pursuant to the Co-Development Agreement, Dr. Andrews agreed to assign any modifications or improvements to the DenerveX to the Company subject to the royalty rights described above.
We are marketing the product as a disposable, single-use kit which will includeincludes all components of the DenerveX device product. In addition to the DenerveX device itself, we are developinghave developed a dedicated Electro Surgical Generator, the DenerveX Pro-40, to power the DenerveX device.
The generator would beis provided to customers agreeing to purchase the DenerveX device and could notcannot be used for any other purpose.
We accepted a proposal from Devicix, a Minneapolis, Minnesota third party design and development firm, in November 2013, to develop a prototype device. This proposal included a 5 phase5-phase development plan, culminating in the production of aready prototype that could be used for validation purposes. Currently we are inWe have recently completed the final statesstages of the build and test phase of the device, culminating in receiving CE marking to market the product in Europe. The DenerveX Kit and Pro-40 generator is now in commercial production.
We anticipate very minimal, if any, additional build and test related expenses, which focuses on completing theconsists of product design verification testing, design optimizationactivities, in the future as required, andwe launch the completion of manufacturing transfer.DenerveX System in Europe. Through December 31, 2016,2018, we have paidincurred expenses of approximately $1,547,000$1,950,000 to Devicix.
In November 2014, we selected Nortech Systems Inc. (“Nortech”), a Minneapolis, Minnesota based FDA registered contract manufacturer, to produce 315test DenerveX devices from the prototype supplied by Devicix for use in final development and non-clinical trials.testing. The agreement with Nortech includes agreed upon per unit prices for delivery of the devices. Actual work on development of the final units began in November 2014. Through December 31, 2016,2018, we have paidincurred expenses of approximately $744,000$997,000 to Nortech.
Also in November 2014, we engaged Bovie Medical Corporation (“Bovie”), a Delaware Corporation, to develop the Electro Surgical Generator and provide post production support services. Per our agreement with Bovie, we are invoiced based on deliverables produced by Bovie, which was originally supposed to amount to $295,000 upon completion of all the deliverables. Through December 31, 2016,2018, we have paidincurred expenses of approximately $389,000$441,000 to Bovie for production services.
The Company has entered into some ofcompleted the final stages of the development and verification of the DenerveX Device and the DenerveX Pro-40 power generator as a system. Final development, testingsystem, and verification to set standards is the main focus for these final stages. Additionally, the company has be tested the DenerveX System is presently being manufactured and sold.
Regulatory Approval
The Company received CE marking in an extensive living tissue model under very strict Good Laboratory Practice Standards to measure, verify, and establish its’ effectivenessJune 2017 for performance as a system. Other testing will include device sterilization, shelf life verification and shipping and performance testing to very specific standards.

The transaction resulted in the immediate receipt of $500,000 in cash, and a $150,000 note receivable to the Company due on or before January 1, 2018.
The terms of the agreement also required that for each of the calendar years ending December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 (each such calendar year, a “Contingent Period”), a contingent payment in cash (each, a “Contingent Payment”) equal to five percent (5%) of the total net sales received by the acquiring party from the sale of “IV suspension system” products in excess of 100 units during each Contingent Period.
Each such Contingent Payment is payable to the Company by the acquiring party by no later than March 31stof the subsequent year; provided, however, that the total aggregate amount of all Contingent Payments owed by the acquiring party to the Company for all Contingent Periods will not exceed $850,000.The Company is yet to receive any Contingent Payments and has no reason to expect it will receive any Contingent Payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain non-financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These non-recurring valuations include evaluating assets such as long-lived assets and non-amortizing intangible assets for impairment; allocating value to assets in an acquired asset group; and applying accounting for business combinations.
We use the fair value measurement framework to value these assets and report the fair values in the periods in which they are recorded or written down.
The fair value measurement framework includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair values in their broad levels. These levels from highest to lowest priority are as follows:
● | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
● | Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data; and |
● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs or valuation techniques that are used when little or no market data is available. |
The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include: estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. We may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.
11 |
Although we believe that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate at December 31, 2017, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires recognition of temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, measured by enacted tax rates.
A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when necessary.We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain state jurisdictions. The tax years that could be subject to federal audit are 2013, 20142015, 2016 and 2015.2017.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Returns, Discounts and Allowances
We recognize revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.
The Company sells the DenerveX System through a combination of direct sales and independent distributors in international markets. The Company recognizes revenue when title to the goods and risk of loss transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. We only record revenue when collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue recognition occurs at the time product is shipped to customers from the third-party distribution warehouse located in Berlin, Germany. Our stocking distributors, who sell the products to their customers or sub-distributors, contractually take title to the products and assume all risks of ownership at the time of shipment. Our stocking distributors are obligated to pay us the contractually agreed upon invoice price within specified terms regardless of when, if ever, they sell the products.
Our direct customers do not have any contractual rights of return or exchange other than for defective product. A portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from inventory maintained at hospitals or physician’s offices.
The Company records estimated sales returns, discounts and allowances as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized. The company does not have any estimated sales returns or allowances as of December 31, 2018. The Company recorded $9,484 in sales discounts for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company transacts some of its operating activities in foreign currencies, most notably the Euro. The Company also has certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are translated to US Dollars for reporting purposes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. These amounts are immaterial and are included in other income or expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Because of the immaterial effect noted above, we did not present a separate statement of other comprehensive income.

Stock-Based Compensation
A summary of significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the equity awards granted in 20162018 and 20152017 follows:
Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 20162018 and 20152017 includes both common stock and stock options granted to certain employees, consultants, and directors and has been recorded as general and administrative expenses. We follow the provisions of the ASC Topic 718,Compensation- Stock Compensationwhich requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock options.
Stock compensation expense based on the fair value on the grant date estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 is generally recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.
The stock grant prices and the option prices were set at the estimated fair value of the common stock on the date of grant using the market approach. Under the market approach, the fair value of the common stock was determined to be the value of the stock on the date of the grant.
We utilize the Black-Scholes valuation method to recognize compensation expense over the vesting period for stock options. The expected life represents the period that our stock option-based compensation awards are expected to be outstanding.
We use a simplified method provided in Securities and Exchange Commission release,
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110,which averages anThe Company uses, and will continue to use in the future, the historic volatility of similar biotech companies until we have either a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own share price or other traded financial instruments are available to derive an implied volatility to support an estimate of expected volatility. No dividend payouts were assumed as we have not historically paid, and do not anticipate paying, dividends in the foreseeable future.
The risk-free rate of return reflects the weighted average interest rate offered for US treasury rates over the expected term of the options.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We started operations late in 2013. We anticipate that our quarterly and annual results of operations will be impacted for the foreseeable future by several factors, including successful developmentthe ramp-up in sales of aour prototype product in Europe, approval of the product by regulatory agenciesthe Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the United States, and abroad, and the rate of adoption of our product by medical professionals. On December 7, 2016, we sold Streamline afterThe Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the Board authorized management to find a buyerDenerveX System and it is now commercially available throughout the European Union and several other countries that accept CE marking. The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in May 2016.July 2017. Due to these factors, we believe that period to period comparisons of our results of operations are not a good indication of our future performance.

Revenue; Cost of Revenue
The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System. Prior to the divestiture of Streamline in December 2016, we had only nominal sales of the Streamline ISS poles thatSystem occurred in December 2015 which are included in the loss from discontinued operationsJuly 2017. The Company recorded revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Company sells the DenerveX System through a combination of direct sales and independent distributors in international markets. The Company recognizes revenue at the time product is shipped to customers from the third-party distribution warehouse in Berlin, Germany. We believe this action satisfies the performance obligation as outlined in new revenue recognition standards.
The DenerveX Device is manufactured by Nortech in Minneapolis, MN and subsequently shipped to the third-party warehouse in packages of five units per one package. Our independent distributors then order the DenerveX Devices as single units at specified prices as outlined in their distribution agreements. The international distribution agreements also specify the pricing for which the independent distributor is to sell the DenerveX Device to their end-user customers.
The Pro-40 Generator is manufactured in Bulgaria and shipped to the third-party warehouse as single units. The generators are typically provided for use to customers at no cost, however, demo units can be purchased by customers for which the Company records revenue.
Our independent distribution customers place initial purchase orders for minimum stocking quantities of both the DenerveX Devices and Pro-40 Generators as agreed upon per their signed international distribution agreements. Subsequent stocking orders are required to be placed initially at specified dates and quantities based upon projected end-user sales volumes. Stocking orders thereafter are required to be placed quarterly based off actual end-user sales volumes.
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue in 2018 was approximately 61% resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 39%. Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue in 2017 was approximately 79% resulting in a gross profit margin of approximately 21 %.
Operating Expenses
We classify our operating expenses into fourfive categories: research & development, sales & marketing, general & administrative expense, loss on asset disposal, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Research and Development Costs and Expenses
Research and development costs and expenses consist primarily of fees paid to external service providers, laboratory supplies, costs for facilities and equipment, and other costs for research and development activities.
Research and development expenses are recorded in operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Estimates have been used in determining the liability of certain costs where services have been performed but not yet invoiced.
We monitor levels of performance under each significant contract for external service providers, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the service providers to reflect the actual amount expended.
Advertising
During 2016,2018, the Company incurred approximately $1,780,000$149,000 in advertising expenses compared to approximately $332,000 in 2017. Advertising expenses consists primarily of fees paid to vendors for tradeshows and consultants in correlation with the launch of the DenerveX in Europe.
General and Administrative Expenses
During 2018, the Company incurred approximately $2,162,000 in personnel costs, compared to approximately $1,390,000$1,850,000 in 2015.2017. Professional fees were approximately $1,453,000$1,668,000 in 20162018 and $2,552,000$1,651,000 in 20152017 which consisted primarily of professional costs related to the development of the DenerveX device and the acquisition of Streamline in 2015.System. Travel expenses were approximately $226,000$144,000 during 20162018 and $295,000$299,000 in 2015.2017.
15 |
We anticipate thatan overall increase in our general and administrative expenses will continuedue to increases in wage expense with the addition of the Company’s new CEO, Bill Horne. We anticipate that other general and administrative expenses to remain at a comparable raterates in the future to support clinical trials, commercialization of our product candidate and continued costs of operating as a public company.
Depreciation & Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense are recorded in the period in which they are incurred. During 2016,2018, the Company recognized approximately $11,300$23,900 in depreciation expense, compared to approximately $6,700$27,100 in 2015. During 2016, the Company recognized approximately $190,000 in amortization expense compared to approximately $427,000 in 2015. Amortization expense is a result of amortizing the intangible assets acquired in the Streamline acquisition and the significant decrease in amortization expense in 2016 compared to 2015 is a result of having ceased amortization of the intangible assets upon Streamline being classified as held for sale in May 2016. Amortization expense is included in the total loss from discontinued operations at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through March 31, 2019, the Company has entered into SPA’s with investors which has brought the aggregate principal amount of capital raised in all the offerings since January 8, 2019 to $7,200,000.
While we expect our research and development costs for the DenerveX System to dissipate,diminish, we also anticipate increased expenditures for clinical trials to obtain FDA approval of the DenerveX System as well as expenses related to the commercial launch of the DenerveX system. We will need additional cash to fully fund these activities.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 20162018 and 2015.
The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph suggests that we may not have sufficient liquidity or minimum cash levels to operate the business.

The Warrants are exercisable for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.75 per share subject to downward adjustment if the Company issues any common stock or common stock equivalents at a price less than $0.75 per share while the warrants are outstanding.

The 8,250 Series B Shares sold in the foreseeableOffering are initially convertible into an aggregate of 2,062,500 shares of Common Stock.
Of the net proceeds in the offering of $820,000, approximately $288,000 was first allocated to the warrants issued to investors based on their relative fair value. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature related to the Series B Shares of approximately $373,000, which was credited to additional paid-in capital, and the residual amount of approximately $159,000 was allocated to the Series B Shares. Because the Series B Shares can immediately be converted by the holder, the discount recognized by the allocation of proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature was immediately accreted and recognized as a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders.
On August 1, 2018 the annual dividend rate on the Series B Shares was adjusted to 12%, which is equal to the same rate as the convertible debt issued in August and September 2018, pursuant to an adjustment provision in the Series B Shares which entitles the holders to receive a more beneficial annual dividend rate offered in any subsequent financings. The Company had accrued unpaid dividends in the amount of approximately $58,000 as of December 31, 2018, related to the Series B Shares.
On August 8, 2018, the Company completed the issuance of convertible debt at an initial conversion price of $0.40. Accordingly the exercise price on all of the warrants issued with the Series B Shares were adjusted downward to $0.40. In conjunction with the downward adjustment, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of approximately $108,000 representing the difference in the fair value of the warrants immediately before and after the adjustment to the exercise price.
Debt
Convertible Debenture

The debenture was convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equivalent to 85% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 days preceding the conversion.
On April 26, 2018, the convertible debenture and unpaid accrued interest was converted into an aggregate of 266,301 shares of common stock, eliminating the Company’s debt obligation. Prior to the conversion, the Company recognized approximately $1,200 in interest expense related to the convertible debenture during the year ended December 31, 2018.

ASU2017-11, Earnings per share (Topic 260), provided that when determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liability or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. If a down round feature on the conversion option embedded in the note is triggered, the Company will likely beevaluate whether a beneficial conversion feature exists, the Company will record the amount as a debt discount and will amortize it over the remaining term of the debt.
If the down round feature in the warrants is triggered, the Company will recognize the effect of the down round as a deemed dividend which will reduce the income available to common stockholders.

Indemnification
We have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving, at our request, in such capacity, to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, we maintain directors and officers insurance coverage that may contribute, up to certain limits, a portion of any future amounts paid for indemnification of directors and officers. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Historically, we have not incurred any losses or recorded any liabilities related to performance under these types of indemnities.

Additionally, in the normal course of business, we have made certain guarantees, indemnities and commitments under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include intellectual property and other indemnities to our customers and distribution network partners in connection with the sales of our products, and indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease.
It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these guarantees, indemnities and commitment due to our limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation And Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MedovexMedoveX Corp. and, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Streamline.Debride, as well as its wholly owned subsidiary, Streamline Inc. (“Streamline”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires disclosure regarding estimates and assumptions used by management that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash balances at December 31, 20162018 and 20152017 consists of funds deposited in checking accounts with commercial banks.
Accounts Receivable,
Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.
The long termCompany records estimated sales returns, discounts and allowances as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized. The allowance is estimated for trade accounts receivable based on the expected collectability of accounts receivable after considering the Company’s historical collection experience and the length of time an account is outstanding. The adequacy of this allowance is reviewed each reporting period and adjusted as necessary. As the Company only commenced sales in July 2017, all outstanding trade receivables were deemed collectable, thus, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded at December 31, 2016 represents the long-term, non-contingent portion of the receivables due from the sale of Streamline which is not due until January 1, 2018. See Note 10. Recording the present value of the receivable at December 31, 20162018 and recognizing the subsequent accretion expense over the one year period led to an immaterial amount.
Inventory
Inventories consist of developed technologyonly finished goods and a trademark. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment as changes in circumstancesare valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the occurrence of events suggestfirst-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the remaining value may not be recoverable. See Note 11.
Other Payables
Other payables include value added tax (VAT) owed to the German tax authority. As a part conducting business in the European Union (“EU”), the Company’s sales transactions are taxed based on the value of the product. At the end of each reporting period, the Company calculates the value of all taxable sales then subtracts the sum of all taxable purchases and the VAT rate is applied to the difference.
Leases
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease term commences on the date the Company takes possession of or controls the physical use of the property. Deferred rent is included in non-current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted the new 5-step revenue recognition process as promulgated by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the core principle of which necessitates companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service. The early adoption of ASC 606 was completed as of September 30, 2017, which was in the first year the Company generated revenue. The early adoption did not have any retrospective effect on prior year.
Identify the contract with the customer
Medovex has two types of customers: distributors, and individual customers.
Distributors:
The Company has distribution agreements with distributors located in Italy, Austria, Colombia, Scandinavia, Brazil, Israel, Australia, Turkey, Spain, Switzerland, Chile, Taiwan, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. For each distributor, a standardized distribution agreement is executed and is the definitive contract between the Company and the customer. Each distribution agreement details the pricing, order placement, stocking requirements, terms of payment, and shipping terms under which the DenerveX System will be shipped to the distributor. The distributor places orders for additional product, but all these orders are subject to the terms of the Distribution Agreement.
Direct Customers:
In Germany, all customers are direct hospitals and individual practitioners. Sales in Germany are solicited by and placed with third party contractors on behalf of Medovex. Medovex has sales agreements with each third party sales representative selling the DenerveX System. Each sales agreement details the price at which the DenerveX System must be sold to the customer. A purchase order from the customer is required before the Company will ship product to the customer. This purchase order contains all the terms and conditions of the sale and is considered the definitive contract for this type of sale.
Identify the performance obligation in the contract
Distributors, who sell the DenerveX System to their customers or sub-distributors, contractually take title to the products and assume all risks of ownership at the time of shipment. The Company has no further obligations once the product is shipped. Stocking distributors are obligated to pay the Company the contractually agreed upon invoice price within specified terms regardless of when, if ever, they sell the products. Since no right of return exists, the product is not considered consigned inventory. For direct sales to hospitals and practitioners in Germany, the obligation is met when the product is shipped. Our direct customers do not have any contractual rights of return or exchange other than for defective product or shipping error.
Determine the transaction price
DenerveX Kit:
The DenerveX kit consists of one Denervex handheld device, one K-Wire, one dilator, one tissue stabilizer, one portal tube and one portal driver. The product is marketed as a disposable, single-use kit which includes all of the components packaged together.
The transaction price for the DenerveX Kit is specifically outlined in the standardized distribution agreements for all distributors.
The transaction price for the DenerveX Kit is specifically outlined in the standardized sales rep agreements for all sales contractors.
Pro-40 Generators:
The DenerveX device requires a custom generator for power and cannot be used for any other purpose. For each initial order of the DenerveX Kit, a generator is provided to each customer at no charge. The Company does not recognize any revenue for the no-charge generator units. The units are removed from inventory and recognized as a cost of sales at the time of shipment. Customers may order demo generators, however, the Company charges a set price for these units.
F-8 |
Allocate the transaction price
In the Company’s case, all of the transaction price is recorded as revenue.
Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue recognition occurs at the time product is shipped, FOB shipping, to all customers from the third-party distribution warehouse located in Berlin, Germany.
For Medovex, this is considered the point at which the customer gains control of the Denervex device and there are no remaining material performance obligations. If something abnormal were to happen to the product in transit, the matter would be handled with the carrier, however, the sale would remain intact.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
The Company expenses all sales and marketing costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, advertising costs were approximately $149,000 and $332,000, respectively.
Foreign Currency transactions
The Company transacts some of its operating activities in foreign currencies, most notably the Euro. The Company also has certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are translated to US Dollars for reporting purposes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. These amounts are immaterial and are included in other income or expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Because of the immaterial effect noted above, we believe thatdid not present a separate statement of other comprehensive income.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires recognition of temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, measured by enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when necessary.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains a stock option incentive plan and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, over the requisite service period of the award to employees and directors. As required by fair value provisions of ourshare-based compensation, employee and non-employee share-based compensation expense recognized is calculated over the requisite service period of the awards and reduced for estimated forfeitures.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Any potentially dilutive securities are anti- dilutive due to the Company’s net losses. For the years presented, there is no difference between the basic and diluted net loss per share: 12,108,743 warrants and 557,282 common stock options outstanding were considered anti-dilutive and excluded for the year ended December 31, 2018. 7,402,910 warrants and 1,314,059 common stock options outstanding were considered anti-dilutive and excluded for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Discontinued Operations
As more fully described in Note 6, in May 2016, management was authorized to locate a buyer for Streamline Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary acquired in March 2015, by the Board of Directors. Streamline’s results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain non-financial assets, is appropriate at December 31, 2016, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
The Company uses the fair value measurement framework to value these assets and report the fair values in the periods in which they are recorded, adjusted above, or written down.
The fair value measurement framework includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair values in their broad levels. These levels from highest to lowest priority are as follows:
● | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; |
● | Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data; and |
● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs or valuation techniques that are used when little or no market data is available. |
The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include: estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. WeThe Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.
Although we believethe Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the straight-line method overCompany to concentrations of credit risk, consist solely of cash. At times throughout the estimated useful livesyear, the Company may maintain certain US bank account balances in excess of FDIC insured limits. The Company may also maintain German bank account balances in excess of Germany’s deposit guarantee regulations within the framework of the related assets, generally three to five years. RepairsGerman Banks’ Compensation Scheme. At December 31, 2018 and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend2017, the lives ofCompany did not have cash deposits that exceeded federally insured deposit limits in the assets, are capitalized.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued, both effective and not yet effective.
In AugustMay 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,Disclosure2014-09, “Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09) that requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,good or ASU 2014-15.

(1)Warrants issued with the May 2018 private placement and debt conversion had an initial exercise price of $0.75 and contain a contingent feature which would adjust the exercise price of the warrant in the event the Company issues any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in a private placement of equity or debt securities at a price less than $0.75 per share. On August 8, 2018, the Company completed the issuance of convertible debt at an initial conversion price of $0.40. Accordingly the exercise price on these warrants was adjusted downward to $0.40.
(2)Warrants issued with the August 8, 2018 and September 28, 2018 convertible notes have an initial exercise price of $0.75 and contain a contingent feature which would adjust the exercise price of the warrant in the event the Company issues any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in a private placement of equity or debt securities at which 90% of the issuance price is less than $0.75.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016,2018, the Company has not incurred any interest or penalties relating to uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ending December 31, 2015, 20142017, 2016 and 2013,2015, which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2016.2018. The Company does not have anyCompany’s tax years that areyear ending in December 31, 2014 is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-US income tax examinations.
For the years ended December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no current income tax liability and recognized no income tax expense. The net deferred tax asset generated by these losses, which principally consist of start-up costs deferred for income tax purposes, is fully reserved as of December 31, 2016,2018 and 2017 since it is currently more likely than not that the benefit will not be realized in future periods.
A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax expense (benefit) to the effective tax is as follows:
2016 | 2015 | |
Statutory rate - federal | 34.0% | 34.0% |
State taxes, net of federal benefit | 4.0 | 4.0 |

The Company’s financial statements contain certain deferred tax assets which have arisen primarily as a result of losses incurred that are considered startup costs for tax benefits associated with the loss before income taxes incurred,purposes, as well as net deferred income tax assets resulting from other temporary differences related to certain reserves and differences between book and tax depreciation and amortization. We record a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets when we determine that based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

In our evaluation of the weight of available evidence, wethe Company considered recent reported losses as negative evidence which carried substantial weight. Therefore, wethe Company considered evidence related to the four sources of taxable income, to determine whether such positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence associated with the losses incurred. The positive evidence considered included:
● | taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the tax law; |
● | future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; |
● | tax planning strategies; and |
● | future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. |
During fiscal 20162018 and 2015, we2017, the Company weighed all available positive and negative evidence and concluded the weight of the negative evidence of a cumulative loss continued to outweigh the positive evidence. Based on the conclusions reached, wethe Company maintained a full valuation allowance during 20162018 and 2015.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following at December 31:

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financialaccounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) and our Principal FinancialAccounting Officer (our "CFO"“Controller”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2016,2018, the end of our fiscal year. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. As of December 31, 2016, basedBased on the evaluation of theseour disclosure controls and procedures and in lightas of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls,December 31, 2018, our CEO and our CFOController concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
In light of the conclusion that our internal disclosure controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2016,2018, we have applied procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting in regardsregard to this annual report. Accordingly, the Company believes, based on its knowledge, that: (i) this annual report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report; and (ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this annual report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. Under the supervision of our CEO and CFO,Controller, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20162018 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"(“COSO”) (2013 Framework).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016,2018, we determined that control deficiencies existed that constituted material weaknesses. Specifically, our CFOController currently performs most of the accounting related functions.
In order to obtain proper segregation of accounting related duties, additional personnel will need to be hired and duties allocated so this material weakness can be corrected.
Due to our abilitythe fact the RMS Asset Purchase Agreement closed subsequent to obtain additional financing and hire additional employees,yearend, the Company expects to be able to design and implement effective internal controls into address the futurematerial weaknesses that address these material weaknesses.
Accordingly, we concluded that these material weaknesses resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company'sCompany’s internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, our CEO and CFOController concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20162018 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by COSO (2013 Framework).
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting because this is not required of the Company pursuant to Regulation S-KSK Item 308(b).

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
During 2018, due to the Company’s financial condition, we terminated our Accounting Clerk, thus creating a lack of segregation of duties as it left only one person performing most of the financial functions thereby creating a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
In October 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
The Plan is intended to secure for us and our stockholders the benefits arising from ownership of our Common Stock by individuals we employ or retain who will be responsible for the future growth of the enterprise. The Plan is also designed to help attract and retain superior personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, including advisory relationships where appropriate, and to provide individuals with an additional incentive to contribute to our success.
The “Administrator” of the Plan is the Compensation Committee of the Board; however, the Administrator may also delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority to make most determinations otherwise reserved for decision by the Administrator. Under the Plan, the Administrator has the flexibility to determine eligible participants and the type and amount of awards to grant to eligible participants.
26 |
The Administrator may make the following types of grants under the Plan, each of which will be an “Award”:
● | qualified incentive stock options (“QISOs”); |
● | nonqualified stock options; and |
● | awards of restricted stock and/or restricted stock units. |
Our officers, key employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors or agents who are responsible for or contribute to our management, growth or profitability will be eligible for selection by the Administrator to participate in the Plan, provided, however, that QISOs may be granted only to our employees.
We authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of 1,650,0002,650,000 shares of our Common Stock. The Company did not grant any stock options in 2018. As of December 31, 2016,2018, we have grantedoutstanding an aggregate of 1,124,9001,314,059 options to purchase common stock at a weighted average price of $2.15$2.78 per share to certain employees, consultants and to outside directors. As of December 31, 2016,share. In 2018 we have granted an aggregate of 143,00075,000 common stock shares from the Plan to certain outside consultants at the market price on the day of grant. If any of the awards granted under the Plan expire, terminate or are forfeited for any reason before they have been exercised, vested or issued in full, the unused shares allocable to or subject to those expired, terminated or forfeited awards will become available for further grants under the Plan.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions
Our board of directors has adopted written policies and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we are a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or 5% stockholders, or their immediate family members, each of whom we refer to as a “related person,” has a direct or indirect material interest.
If a related person proposes to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship, which we refer to as a “related person transaction,” the related person must report the proposed related person transaction to our Chief Executive Officer. The policy calls for the proposed related person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by our audit committee. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur prior to entry into the transaction.
If advance review and approval is not practicable, the committee will review, and, in its discretion, may ratify the related person transaction. The policy also permits the chairman of the committee to review and, if deemed appropriate, approve proposed related person transactions that arise between committee meetings, subject to ratification by the committee at its next meeting. Any related person transactions that are ongoing in nature will be reviewed annually.
A related person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized by the committee after full disclosure of the related person’s interest in the transaction. As appropriate for the circumstances, the committee will review and consider:
● | the related person’s interest in the related person transaction; |
● | the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related person transaction; |
● | the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss; |
● | whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of our business; |
● | whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to us than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party; and |
● | the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction. |
27 |
The committee may approve or ratify the transaction only if the committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in our best interests. The committee may impose any conditions on the related person transaction that it deems appropriate.
In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the instructions to the SEC’s related person transaction disclosure rule, our board of directors has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not related person transactions for purposes of this policy:
● | interests arising solely from the related person’s position as an executive officer of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such entity) that is a participant in the transaction, where (i) the related person and all other related persons own in the aggregate less than a 10% equity interest in such entity, (ii) the related person and his or her immediate family members are not involved in the negotiation of the terms of the transaction and do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction and (iii) the amount involved in the transaction is less than the greater of $200,000 or 5% of the annual gross revenues of the company receiving payment under the transaction; and |
● | a transaction that is specifically contemplated by provisions of our charter or bylaws. |
The policy provides that transactions involving compensation of executive officers shall be reviewed and approved by the compensation committee in the manner specified in its charter.
We did not have a written policy regarding the review and approval of related person transactions. Nevertheless, with respect to such transactions, it was our policy for our board of directors to consider the nature of and business reason for such transactions, how the terms of such transactions compared to those which might be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and whether such transactions were otherwise fair to and in the best interests of, or not contrary to, our best interests.
In addition, all related person transactions required prior approval, or later ratification, by our board of directors.
Stock Option Grants to Executive Officers and Directors
We authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of 1,650,0002,650,000 shares of our Common Stock. No stock options were issued under the Plan in 2018. In 2016 and 2015,2017 we granted an aggregate of 597,600 and 200,000, respectively,147,611, of options to purchase common stock to executive officers and directors. If any of the Awards granted under the Plan expire, terminate or are forfeited for any reason before they have been exercised, vested or issued in full, the unused shares allocable to or subject to those expired, terminated or forfeited awards will become available for further grants under the Plan.
Policies and Procedures for Approving Related Person Transactions
Our policy and procedure with respect to any related person transaction between the Company and any related person requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, is that the Company'sCompany’s audit committee reviews all such transactions.
This review covers any material transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which the Company was and is to be a participant, and a related party had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, purchases of goods or services by or from the related party or entities in which the related party has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by the Company of a related party. The board of directors has adopted a written policy reflecting the policy and procedure identified above.
