Explanatory Note

As disclosed in Item 4.02 of the Company’s current report on 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018 ( the “Financial Statements”) should no longer be relied upon.

This Amendment No. 1 to on the Company’s Form 10-Q (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 September 30, 2018, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2018 (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.

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 months ended March 31, 2019 to restate their previously issued interim financial statements due to the accounting errors described above, as well as some additional errors identified with an impact to that period.

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 Renuvion® 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.

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 June 30, 2019, Core sales following the divestiture amounted to $2.1 million with cost of sales of $2.3 million and related operating expenses of $0.0 million, which are included in other losses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Core sales following the divestiture amounted to $4.4 million with cost of sales of $4.5 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, 2018.2017. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 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:
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2018, the total aggregated impact included an increase of approximately $51,000 to operating expenses, an increase of approximately $713,000 to other losses and an increase to net loss of approximately $764,000.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the total aggregated impact included an increase of approximately $59,000 to operating expenses, operating loss and net loss.

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 3.     DISPOSITION OF THE CORE BUSINESS

On August 30, 2018, we closed on a previously disclosed definitive asset purchase agreement with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which the Company divested and sold the Company's electrosurgical "Core" business segment and related intellectual property, including the Bovie® brand and trademarks, to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for 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.

Additionally, in connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed 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 concluded that the divestiture of the Core business met the criteria for discontinued operations set forth in ASC No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements.

NOTE 4.6.     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The purpose of this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. It eliminates the need for entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under this ASU, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, however we have chosen not to do so. The amendment willis not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

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.

The following table provides additional detail by financial statement line item of the ASU 2016-18 impact in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

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 1114 Geographic and Segment Information. Based on the current state of our business, management does not see a material reason to disaggregate further.

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. The determination of the discount rate used to calculate net present value is based on what we would normally pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term. 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 $394,000 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 7.9.     INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense (benefit)benefit from continuing operations was $76,000$2.4 million and $(48,000)$2.4 million with an effective tax rate of -1.7%67.8% and 0.3%25.8% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2018, respectively, as compared to an expense of $13,000,$6,000 and $24,000$15,000 with an effective tax rate of -3.2% and -1.8%,0.0% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in the Company’s tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily due to the Company’s ability to offset the 2018 operating loss from continuing operations against the taxable income generated by the extraordinary gain recognized by the income and asset sale reflected in discontinued operations.

The Company recognized tax expense of $0.3 million and $1.2 million within net income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized tax expense of $13.2 million and $15.5 million within the gain on sale of the Core Business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

The following is a roll-forwardManagement expects the gain from the sale of the Company's total gross unrecognizedCore business segment to Symmetry will utilize substantially all of the historical Federal net operating loss carryover of $24.7 million, state(s) net operating loss carryover of $21.2 million, and research and development credit carryover of $1.3 million. As a result, the valuation allowance on these deferred tax benefits, not including interestassets was released during the third quarter of 2018 and penalties,the Company recorded a tax benefit of $7.8 million from the release of the valuation allowance. The tax benefit of $7.8 million is netted against the tax expenses within net income from discontinued operations and within the gain from asset sales. Pursuant to guidance under ASC 740, for the periodnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.2018, continuing operations includes a current benefit of $2.4 million, which reflects the Company’s ability to fully utilize the net operating loss expected to be generated from continuing operations in the 2018 tax year.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $53,000 in accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, the resulting impact will be material as the Company will recognize $1.366 million of tax benefits in the provision of income taxes.

pectedAs a result of historical losses, exclusive of discontinued operations, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset with a finite life and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets beyond the 2018 tax year. 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 allthe deferred tax assets will be realizable. As Management expects the Company to continue to generate loss in the foreseeable future after 2018, the Company will continue to record a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets at the end of the uncertain tax positions should be resolved by December 31, 2019.

NOTE 8.10.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Property and Rental Agreements

In March 2014, we signed a lease for offices located in Purchase, New York. In December 2017, we decided to consolidate operations in the Purchase, NY office with the facility in Clearwater, Florida. Based on this, we determined the office in Purchase, NY was no longer necessary and decided to cease all activity at the location. In August 2018 we negotiated a termination of the remainder of the lease, releasing us from any future obligation.

In October 2015, pursuant to our acquisition of ApyxBovie Bulgaria, we becameare obligated to makepay a lease payments of approximately $9,000$5,980 per month, expiring in December 2021, for approximately 20,00018,745 square feet of office, research and manufacturing space in Sofia, Bulgaria. During Q2 2019, the lease was extended for an additional 2 years. The building lease expires in December 2022.

With the adoption of ASC 842 we recognize all leases with terms greater than twelve months in duration on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Apyx Bulgaria building lease is disclosed as a right-of-use asset and is included in the property, plant, and equipment totals on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 compensatory damages, an award of interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs, and equitable relief as the court may deem just and proper.  On July 16, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff for the putative class and approved the lead plaintiff’s selection of counsel.

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.


Purchase Commitments

At JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2018, we had purchase commitments for inventories totaling approximately $3.4$5.4 million, substantially all of which is expected to be purchased by the end of 2019.2018.

In responseOur manufacturing services agreements requires Symmetry to the current worldwide helium shortage, to support our current and near term customer requirements, we issued purchase orders with two international companies to supplyprovide us with helium cylinders and have entered into agreementsa twelve-month rolling production forecast, of which four months are binding, non-cancelable orders, subject to purchase additional helium as needed. We also currently maintain our own supply of helium in the United States which can be utilized for our customer requirements.

NOTE 11.13.     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 astwo three operating segments: Advanced Energy, OEM and OEM. "CorporateCorporate & Other"Other. The Corporate & Other category 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. Income (loss) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2019 was labeled "Net income" instead of "Income (loss) from continuing operations". As a result, income (loss) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2019 was $(3.4) million for Advanced Energy, $0.8 million for OEM, $(2.6) million for Corporate, and $(5.2) million in total.

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

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. WeThe Company also leverage ourleverages its expertise through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.

During 2019, we continue our full-scale commercialization efforts for Renuvion®. As of June 30, 2019, we had a direct sales force of 29 field-based selling professionals and a network of 6 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.

DuringOur gross margin decreased by 3.5% during the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019,2018, when compared to the same period of 2017. The decrease was driven by lower margins in Advanced Energy due to product mix and increased sales growth in international markets where we sell at lower margins through a network of distributors, offsetting higher domestic selling generalprices and administrative expensemanufacturing efficiencies. Additionally, margins decreased in the OEM segment when compared to 2017.

Net interest income resulted from realized and unrealized interest on cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities, offset by interest paid on our mortgage to the Bank of Tampa until extinguishment on August 30, 2018.

Change in fair value of liabilities, net

On December 13, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued 3,500,000 shares of our newly designated Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $2.00 per share and 5,250,000 warrants to purchase our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.387 per share. We also issued 525,000 warrants to the placement agent at a strike price of $2.387. As of September 30, 2018, all remaining warrants were converted to common stock and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we recognized a net loss of $20,000.

Other losses, net

Other losses of $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was related to our joint and several payroll tax liability ($0.7 million) and $0.2 million in connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for 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.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax benefit from continuing operations was $2.4 million and $2.4 million with an effective tax rate of 67.8% and 25.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to an expense of $6,000 and $15,000 with an effective tax rate of 0.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in the Company’s tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily due to the Company’s ability to offset the 2018 operating loss from continuing operations against the taxable income generated by the extraordinary gain recognized by the income and asset sale reflected in discontinued operations.

The Company recognized tax expense of $0.3 million and $1.2 million within net income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized tax expense of $13.2 million and $15.5 million within the gain on sale of the Core Business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Management expects the gain from the sale of the Core business segment to Symmetry will utilize substantially all of the historical Federal net operating loss carryover of $24.7 million, state(s) net operating loss carryover of $21.2 million, and research and development credit carryover of $1.3 million. As a result, the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets was released during the third quarter of 2018 and the Company recorded a tax benefit of $7.8 million from the release of the valuation allowance. The tax benefit of $7.8 million is netted against the tax expenses within net income from discontinued operations and within the gain from asset sales. Pursuant to guidance under ASC 740, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, continuing operations includes a current benefit of $2.4 million, which reflects the Company’s ability to fully utilize the net operating loss expected to be generated from continuing operations in the 2018 tax year.

As a result of historical losses, exclusive of discontinued operations, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset with a finite life and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets beyond the 2018 tax year. 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. As Management expects the Company to continue to generate loss in the foreseeable future after 2018, the Company will continue to record a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets at the end of 2018.

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 outsourcedout-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.

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 Reportreport on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2019.13, 2018.

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-basedstock 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 and intangible assets, 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. To date, no reporting units are at risk of failing an impairment test.

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.

Litigation Contingencies

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

disclosedLitigation Contingencies

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 notesordinary 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 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.position or cash flows.

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.

Management expects the gain from the sale of the Core business segment to Symmetry will utilize substantially all of the historical Federal net operating loss carryover of $24.7 million, state(s) net operating loss carryover of $21.2 million, and research and development credit carryover of $1.3 million. As a result, the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets was released during the third quarter of 2018 and the Company recorded a tax benefit of $7.8 million from the release of the valuation allowance. The tax benefit of $7.8 million is netted against the tax expenses within net income from discontinued operations and within the gain from asset sales. Pursuant to guidance under ASC 740, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, continuing operations includes a current benefit of $2.4 million, which reflects the Company’s ability to fully utilize the net operating loss expected to be generated from continuing operations in the 2018 tax year.

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 with a finite life and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets.assets beyond the 2018 tax year. 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. As Management expects the Company to continue to generate loss in the foreseeable future after 2018, the Company will continue to record a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets at the end of 2018.

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.

OurWe have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, has establishedincluding our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and maintainsChief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of September 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of that period, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensureeffective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we filefiled or submitsubmitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission'sSEC’s rules and forms and that(b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officerour CEO and Chief Financial Officer,CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervisionIn designing and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness ofevaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concludedmanagement recognized that as of June 30, 2019, the Company's disclosureany controls and procedures, were not effective becauseno matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the material weaknesses in our internaldesired control over financial reporting as discussed below.

Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, which is described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,objectives and our management has concluded thatnecessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, resultscost-benefit relationship of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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.

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 processpossible controls and (iii) ineffective monitoring controls to ascertain whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.
As of June 30, 2019, we continue our remediation efforts related to these deficiencies.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses

APYX MEDICAL CORPORATION


To date, we have implemented and are continuing to implement a number of measures to address the material weaknesses identified. We are also designing additional controls around the identification, documentation and application of technical accounting guidance with particular emphasis on events outside the ordinary course of business. These controls are expected to include the implementation of additional supervision and review activities by qualified personnel, the preparation of formal accounting memoranda to support our conclusions on technical accounting matters, and the development and use of checklists and research tools to assist in compliance with GAAP reporting requirements.

We have also fully engaged a third-party specialist to help us assess and improve our internal controls and to assist in the process of designing and implementing a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. This has included the establishment of our overall internal control framework and the redesign of controls deemed to be defective in our most recently filed 10-K. As we continue to evaluate and take actions to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, we may find it necessary to take additional actions to address control deficiencies and modify our remediation measures.procedures.

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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 20192018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.     Other Information

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

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 compensatory damages, an award of interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs, and equitable relief as the court may deem just and proper.  On July 16, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff for the putative class and approved the lead plaintiff’s selection of counsel.

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.

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.
