1.Nature of operations and going concern

 

Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. ("Zomedica" or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 7, 2013 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) as Wise Oakwood Ventures Inc. (“WOW”) and was classified as a capital pool company, as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange. ZoMedica Pharmaceuticals Inc. was incorporated on May 14, 2015 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

On April 21, 2016, the Company closed its qualifying transaction (“Transaction”), consisting of the acquisition of ZoMedica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“ZoMedica”) pursuant to a three-cornered amalgamation, whereby ZoMedica was amalgamated with 9674128 Canada Inc. (which was wholly-owned by WOW) and common shares and options of the Company were issued to former holders of ZoMedica securities as consideration. The amalgamated company changed its name to Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and WOW subsequently changed its name to Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. Prior to completion of the Transaction, WOW consolidated its common shares on the basis of the one post-consolidation common share for every 2.5 pre-consolidation common shares. The Transaction constituted WOW’s qualifying transaction under TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies. The shares of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new symbol “ZOM” on Monday, May 2, 2016. On June 21, 2016, the Company filed Articles of Amalgamation and vertically amalgamated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Zomedica has one corporate subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware company whose results and operations are included in these consolidated financial statements. The Company is a biopharmaceuticalveterinary health company targeting healthcreating point-of-care diagnostics products for dogs and wellness solutions for the companion pet through a ground-breaking approachcats, that focuses on the needs of the veterinarians themselves. Zomedica's head office is located at 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite 180, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 and its registered office is located at 3400, 350-7th Ave SW, Calgary, AB, T2P 3N9.

 

On November 20, 2017, Zomedica announced that its registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and on November 21, 2017, the Company’s common shares began trading on the NYSE American under the symbol “ZOM”.

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $54,508,459 as at March 31, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $52,057,841). The Company has funded its research and development (“R&D”) activities principally through the issuance of securities. There is no certainty that such funding will be available going forward. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and pay its liabilities as they become due.

In order for the Company to continue as a going concern and fund any significant expansion of its operation or R&D activities, the Company will require significant additional capital. The Company’s ultimate success will depend on whether its future product candidates receive the necessary regulatory approval and it is able to successfully market approved products. The Company cannot be certain that it will be able to receive regulatory approval, if required, for any of its future product candidates, if required, or that it will reach the level of sales and revenues necessary to achieve and sustain profitability.

(Stated in United States dollars)

1.Nature of operations and going concern (continued)

Going concern (continued)

The availability of equity or debt financing will be affected by, among other things, the results of the Company’s research and development, its ability to obtain regulatory approvals, the market acceptance of its products, the state of the capital markets generally, and due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, strategic alliance agreements, and other relevant commercial considerations. In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its then existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict its operations. Any failure on its part to raise additional funds on terms favorable to the Company or at all, may require the Company to significantly change or curtail its current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated, and could result in the Company not taking advantage of business opportunities. There is no certainty the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds to continue operations as a going concern. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments, if any, which would be required to the carrying amounts or classification of assets and liabilities, or the amounts of reported expenses, should the use of the going concern assumption be determined not to be appropriate. Such adjustments, if any, could be material.

2.Basis of preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same basis of presentation, accounting policies and methods of computation as those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Basis of consolidation

These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

3.Significant accounting policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are: the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation; the useful lives of property and equipment; and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption.

Basis of measurement

The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise noted.

Functional and reporting currencies

The Company’s and subsidiary’s functional currency, as determined by management, is US dollars, which is also the Company’s reporting currency.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods and companies presented in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

3.Significant accounting policies (continued)

Research and development

Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.

Share issue costs

Share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock.

Translation of foreign currencies

In respect of other transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries’ functional currencies, the monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the period end rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Stock-based compensation

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company cannot be reliably estimated.

The Company calculates stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method. The provisions of the Company's stock-based compensation plans do not require the Company to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets, and therefore the Company classifies the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options is excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options to purchase common shares of the Company during the period were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company has incurred a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

3.Significant accounting policies (continued)

Comprehensive loss

The Company follows ASC topic 220. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive loss is net loss plus certain items that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. The Company has no other comprehensive loss items.

4.Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Critical areas of estimation and judgements in applying accounting policies include the following:

Going concern

These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management uses judgment in determining assumptions for cash flow projections, such as anticipated financing, anticipated sales and future commitments to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A critical judgment is that the Company continues to raise funds going forward and satisfy their obligations as they become due.

Stock-based payments

The Company estimates the fair value of convertible securities such as options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires significant estimation around assumptions and inputs such as expected term to maturity, expected volatility and expected dividends.

Useful lives of property and equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment with definite useful lives at the end of each year and assesses whether the useful lives of certain items should be shortened or extended, due to various factors including technology, competition and revised service offerings. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was not required to adjust the useful lives of any assets based on the factors described above. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

The impact of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)

 

Since December 31, 2019, theThe outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring this virus a global pandemic in March 2020. Governments around the world have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing anddistancing. The closure of businesses havehas caused material disruption to businesses resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have responded with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize the financial markets. A critical estimate

The COVID-19 pandemic materially and adversely affected the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform and the initial five assays. In response to the pandemic, our development partner had reduced the number of employees working in its facilities for a period of time which has delayed the completion of the verification of the five initial TRUFORMA® assays and the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the TRUFORMA® platform and the related assays. Veterinary hospitals and clinics that had agreed to participate in the validation of our initial TRUFORMA® assays either shut down for a period of time or limited their operations to those involving only life-threatening conditions, which we have mitigated to a certain extent with our recent ability to successfully complete remote installations. Potential customers have at times restricted access to their facilities which has affected and may continue to affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, the spread and severity of COVID-19, and the effectiveness of governmental actions in response to the pandemic.

2.Basis of preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for the Company ispresentation of interim financial statements and with the instructions to assessForm 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the impactunaudited financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of the pandemicfinancial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited financial statements should be read in combination with the other Notes in this section; “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” appearing in Item 2; and the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from audited financial statements.

3.Significant accounting policies

Estimates and assumptions

In preparing these financial statements, management was required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and suppliers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. These estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We are not presently aware of any events or circumstances that would require us to update such estimates and assumptions or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities. Our estimates may change, however, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is based on the recoverabilityfirst in, first out method. The Company records reserves, when necessary, to reduce the carrying value of long-lived assets as well asinventory to its net realizable value. Management considers forecast demand in relation to the availabilityinventory on hand, competitiveness of future financingproduct offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining excess and obsolescence and net realizable value adjustments. At the point of loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and any subsequent improvements in assessingfacts and circumstances do not result in the going concern assumption.

restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

 

Revenue recognition

The Company enters into agreements which may contain multiple promises where customers purchase products, services or a combination thereof. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires judgment. We determine the transaction price for a contract based on the total consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the transferred goods or services.

The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation in proportion to the relative standalone selling prices and recognize revenue when control of the related goods or services is transferred for each obligation. We utilize the observable standalone selling price when available, which represents the price charged for the performance obligation when sold separately.

The Company's contracts with customers are generally comprised of purchase orders for the sale of the point of care diagnostic instrument, consumable products, and warranties, or some variation thereof. The instrument and consumables each represent a single performance obligation when sold separately, that is satisfied at a point in time upon transfer of control of the product to the customer which is typically upon receipt of the goods by the customer. The warranties are also a separate performance obligation, whereby revenue is recognized over time.

Sales tax is charged on sales to end users, and remitted to the appropriate state authority.

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, and have payment terms of 30 days.

Cost of revenue

Cost of goods sold consists of materials, and shipping costs incurred internally to produce and receive the products. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold.

8.Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. The Company was party to two lease agreements under which it rented office and laboratory space. The rent for both leases was prepaid upon inception and therefore at January 1, 2019, the Company reclassified its prepaid lease balances of $1,613,038 to a right-of-use asset. The Company recorded $42,448 of amortization on the right-of-use asset for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (March 31, 2019 - $127,345).

The new lease period iswas for 60 months, commencing on February 1, 2020 and ending on January 31, 2025 with a monthly rent payment of $32,452 escalating to $36,525 over the lease period. Upon cancellation of the previous existing lease, the Company received a refund of prepaid rent in the amount of $1,002,113. The carrying value of the right of use asset was $1,061,210 upon cancellation. The Company recorded a loss on right-of-use asset of $59,097 in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

On February 1, 2020, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability in the amount of $1,553,611 using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 12%.

 

On February 1, 2021 the Company downsized its office space and modified its existing lease with Wickfield Phoenix LLC. The new lease period was for 48 months, commencing on February 1, 2021 and ending on January 31, 2025 with a monthly rent payment of $12,039 for the first two months and escalating to $30,911 over the lease period. The carrying value of the right of use asset was $1,297,666 upon modification. The Company recorded a gain on right-of-use asset of $24,075 in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

On February 1, 2021, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability in the amount of $1,306,082 using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 3.95%.

9.8.Loan arrangements

 

On October 18, 2017, the Company entered into a loan arrangement with a shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which such shareholder has agreed to provide a loan facility to the Company, whereby the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000, with the proceeds to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The term of the loan facility is five (5) years, with principal and interest payments being due only at the time of maturity. Under the loan agreement, the Company may borrow in one or more advances, provided however that a minimum amount of $250,000 must be borrowed at any one time and not more than two advances may occur per month. Interest shall accrue at a rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum, payable upon maturity. As of March 31, 2020,2021, no amounts have been borrowed.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or (“CARES”) Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provides over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration to temporarily guarantee loans under a new loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (the “Program”). The Program provides for 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses to allow employers to keep workers employed and maintain payroll during the pandemic and economic downturn. Under the Program, qualified companies are eligible for a loan in an amount equal to the lesser of $10 million or 2.5x the business’s average monthly payroll. Collateral or guarantor support is not required for the loan.

Under the Program, the borrower is eligible for loan forgiveness up to the amount the borrower spends on certain eligible costs during the 8-week period beginning on the date the proceeds were received on the loan. Eligible costs under the Program include payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations incurred before the covered period, rent on leasing agreements and utility services. The amount of loan forgiveness is reduced if there is a reduction in the number of employees or a reduction of greater than 25% in wages paid to employees. Under the Program, proceeds that are not forgiven convert to a loan bearing interest at a fixed rate of 1% payable in 18 equal monthly installments commencing after the forgiveness period. The Program was subsequently amended to allow the borrower to use an extended forgiveness period of 24 weeks beginning on the date the proceeds were received on the loan and to extend the repayment period to 54 months commencing after the 24 week forgiveness period.

In April of 2020, the Company received $527,360 under the program. The receipt is currently reported as a current liability and accounted for as a loan. The company filed for forgiveness, pending approval from the Small Business Administration.

As at March 31, 2020,2021, and continuing as atof May 11, 2020,12, 2021, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation claims against the Company, other than as described below.

 

On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation (“Heska”) filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and the Company (collectively with Qorvo, the “Defendants”). which was amended on November 22, 2019. The amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s trade secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets related to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances. The amended Complaint seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants from commercializing the Company’s TRUFORMATMour TRUFORMA® diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to which the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. The Court has not yet ruled onHeska subsequently moved to strike a portion of the Defendants’ response. On September 30, 2020, the court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted Heska’s motion to strike. On October 14, 2020 the litigation remains stayed pending a ruling on that motion.Defendants filed their answer to the amended Complaint. On May 10, 2021, the Defendants filed an updated answer and counterclaims to Heska’s amended complaint alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices claims against Heska. Discovery is ongoing. The Company believes that the allegations in the amended Complaint have no merit and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’sour business, results of operations or financial condition. Although the Company is expected to commence the commercialization of its TRUFORMATM platform by the end of 2020, the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has impacted the Company’s expected timing, as described further in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report.

 

Under the terms of the Development and Supply Agreement, dated November 26, 2018, by and between Qorvo Biotech and the Company (the(as amended, the “Qorvo Agreement”), Qorvo Biotech agreed to indemnify the Company and certain related parties against claims alleging infringement or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. Qorvo Biotech has notified the Company that Qorvo Biotech has assumed the defense of the amended Complaint and will indemnify the Company for losses arising from the amended Complaint in accordance with the terms of the Qorvo Agreement. Qorvo Biotech has further advised the Companyus that it intends to mount a vigorous defense to the claims in the amended Complaint, and that it believes the allegations contained in the amended Complaint are without merit.

15.14.Financial instruments

 

(a)Fair values

 

The Company follows ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC topic 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and establishes a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refers broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(i)The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. When there is insufficient data available, The Company uses a peer group that is publicly traded to calculate expected volatility.

An increase/decrease in the volatility would have resulted in an increase/decrease in the fair value of the options.

 

The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loans payable approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

(b)Interest rate and credit risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. The Company does not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates, relative to interest rates on cash and cash equivalents, due to related parties due to the short-term nature of these balances.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk at period end from the carrying value of its cash. The Company manages this risk by maintaining bank accounts with a Canadian Chartered Bank. The Company’s cash is not subject to any external restrictions.

 

(c)Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company has balances in Canadian dollars that give rise to exposure to foreign exchange (“FX”) risk relating to the impact of translating certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet accounts as these statements are presented in U.S. dollars. A strengthening U.S. dollar will lead to a FX loss while a weakening U.S. dollar will lead to a FX gain. For each Canadian dollar balance of $1.0 million, a +/- 10% movement in the Canadian currency held by the Company versus the U.S. dollar would affect the Company’s loss and other comprehensive loss by $0.1 million.

21.  Subsequent events

On April 9, 2020, the Company completed a $4,000,000 confidentially marketed public offering (“CMPO”) of its common shares and warrants (“Series B Warrants) in a fixed combination of one common share and 0.5 of Series B Warrant at a combined offering price of $0.12 per share and related Series B Warrant, resulting in the sale of 33,333,334 common shares and Series B Warrants to purchase 16,666,667 common shares. Each Series B Warrant has an exercise price of $0.15 per share, is immediately exercisable, and has a term of 5 years. The gross proceeds to from the offering, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company are $4,000,000.

As of May 11, 2020, the Company has received gross proceeds of $649,870 from the exercise of 4,333,167 Series B Warrants.

On April 3, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) authorized forgivable loans to small businesses to pay their employees during the COVID-19 crisis. Under the terms of the program the loan amounts will be forgiven as long as:

·The loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 8-week period after the loan is made; and

·Employee and compensation levels are maintained.

Payroll costs are capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee. It is anticipated that not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs and loan payments will be deferred for 6 months. The Company received funding on April 20, 2020 for $527,360.

22.Comparative figures

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Adjustments have been made to the consolidated schedule of expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, to classify health insurance benefits as part of salaries, wages and bonuses and audit fees to professional fees. This change in classification does not affect previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Overview

 

We are a development stage veterinary diagnostichealth company focused on creating point-of-care diagnostic platformsproducts for use by veterinarians treating companion animals (canine, feline, and equine) by focusing on the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. We believeexpect that our diagnostic platforms haveproduct portfolio will include innovative diagnostics and medical devices that emphasize patient health and practice health. With a team that includes clinical veterinary professionals, our goal is to provide veterinarians the potentialopportunity to significantly improveincrease productivity and grow revenue while better serving the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases affecting companion animals. We believe that there are significant unmet medical needs for point-of-care diagnostic tools for use on pets, and that the pet diagnostic segment of the animal health industry is likely to grow substantially as new diagnostic tools and treatments are identified, developed, and marketed specifically for companion animals.animals in their care.

 

Our strategic focus is on the commercialization of our TRUFORMA® diagnostic biosensor platform and the final development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ diagnostic biosensor platform and the first five assays for the detection of adrenal and thyroid disorders in cats and dogs. The TRUFORMA™TRUFORMA® platform uses Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) technology to provide a non-optical and fluorescence free detection system for use at the point-of-care. We believe that BAW technology will enable precise and repeatable test results at the point-of-care during a typical veterinary appointment.

 

InAs TRUFORMA®’s market presence grew, we intended to transition from a distributor-based sales model to a direct sales organization. However, due to anticipated changes at our Annual Report on Form 10-K forcurrent distributor that we believe have impacted its ability to market our products effectively, we will be accelerating that transition and the year ended December 31, 2019, we stated the following expectations with respect to our TRUFORMA™ platform:building of a direct sales organization.

 

·verification of TRUFORMA’s™ five initial assays were expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2020;

·our goal was to complete validation by the end of the second quarter of 2020; and

·we expected to commence commercialization of the five initial assays in select strategic markets by the end of 2020.

However, the COVID-19, pandemic has impacted our expected timing for the developmentZomedica currently employs nine direct field commercialization personnel, supported by two regional managers, a Vice President of Sales, and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform and the five initial assays due to a number of factors, including the following:Chief Commercial Officer.

·our development partner has significantly reduced the number of employees working in its facilities which we expect will delay the completion of the verification of the five initial TRUFORMA™ assays and the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the TRUFORMA™ platform and the related assays;

·veterinary hospitals and clinics that had agreed to participate in the validation of our initial TRUFORMA™ assays have either shut down or limited their operations to those involving only life-threatening conditions; and

·potential customers have restricted access to their facilities which will affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities and to install purchased equipment.

·The aforementioned impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was disclosed in our Form 8-K dated April 7,2020 and referred to in a press release issued on April 13, 2020.

 

Following the commercial launch of TRUFORMA™TRUFORMA®, we expect to continue the development of our point- of-careanother point-of-care diagnostic platform, which is based on miniaturized laser-based Raman spectroscopy technology and is designed to detect pathogens in companion animals. We believe this platform will enable the identification of biological and biochemical signatures in complex biological samples and has the potential to achieve reference lab sensitivity/specificity to screen for a wide range of pathogens in companion animal feces, urine, respiratory, and dermatological samples in minutes without the need for extensive sample prep or the use of reagents. The diagnostic platform requires a small fecal sample preparation. Additionally, the platform has automated analysis and does not require specialized staff training. Because we are focused on the development and commercialization of the TRUFORMA™ platform, which has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, we deferred work on this platform. We believe that this diagnostic platform does not require pre-market regulatory approval for use with companion animals in the United States.

 

22

We have performed initial development work on a circulating tumor cell (CTC) “liquid biopsy” platformproduct for use in a reference lab setting as a canine cancer diagnostic. This platformproduct is intended for use to detect canine cancers faster, more affordably and less invasively compared to existing methods, which can be expensive and cost prohibitivecost-prohibitive for pet owners. We have worked on the development of an assay for use with this platform that targets hard-to-diagnose canine cancers, such as hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma.

 

We areConsistent with our focus on the development of point-of-care diagnostic products, we intend to seek one or more partners for the further development and commercialization of the liquid biopsy product.

Through the year ended December 31, 2020, we were a development-stage company with no commercialized products, approved for marketing and sale, and we havedid not generatedgenerate any revenue.revenue from product sales. We have incurred significant net losses since our inception. We incurred net losses of $2,450,618approximately $4.0 million and $11,676,908approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and March 31, 2019, respectively,2020 and $19,784,054approximately $16.9 million and $16,647,687$19.8 million for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019 respectively. These losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with investigating and developing our product candidates, research and development activities, and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $54,508,459approximately $105.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $1,496,752.approximately $276.6 million.

 

For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to incur losses, which will increase significantly from historical levels as we continue the commercialization of our TRUFORMA® platform, expand our product development activities, commercialize them if they do not require U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, or FDA-CVM, pre-market approval, seek regulatory approvals forexpand our product candidates where required from the FDA-CVM or the United States Department of Agriculture Center for Veterinary Biologics, or the USDA-CVB.sales and marketing activities.

Revenue

 

We do not have any products approved for sale, have not generated anylaunched our TRUFORMA® platform and our first three assays during the first quarter of 2021. Our revenue from product sales since our inceptionconsisted of instruments, cartridges, and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of productswarranty services sold in the near future. If our development efforts result in clinical successU.S.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs related to the costs of manufacturing instruments and regulatory approval or collaboration agreements with third parties for anycartridges and the related warranty purchases. We expense all inventory obsolescence provisions related to normal manufacturing changes as cost of our product candidates, we may generate revenue from those product candidates.revenue.

 

Operating Expenses

 

The majority of our operating expenses to date have been for the general and administrative activities related to general business activities, capital market activities and stock-based compensation, developing a commercial team, and research and development activities related to our lead product candidates.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

All costs of research and development are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel, fees paid to consultants, outside service providers, professional services, travel costs and materials used in clinical trials and research and development.

 

Selling General and Administrative Expense

 

GeneralSelling, general and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, related benefits and stock-based compensation for employees, consultants and directors. General and administrative expenses also include rent and other facilities costs, professional fees, amortization and professional and consulting fees for legal, accounting, tax services and other general business services.depreciation.

 

Professional Fees

23

 

Professional fees include attorney’s fees, accounting fees and consulting fees incurred in connection with product investigation and analysis, regulatory analysis, government relations, audit, securities offerings, investor relations, and general corporate and intellectual property advice.

Income Taxes

 

As of December 31, 2019,2020, we had net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes of $16,140,344approximately $19.6 million and non-capital loss carryforwards for Canadian income tax purposesCanada of approximately $20,366,610,$27.8 million, which will begin to expire in fiscal year 2035. We have evaluated the factors bearing upon the realizability of our deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards and non-capital loss carryforwards. We concluded that, due to the uncertainty of realizing any tax benefits as of December 31, 2019,2020, a valuation allowance was necessary to fully offset our deferred tax assets. There has been no significant change in the first three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described 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 more fully described in Note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this document, we believe that the estimates and assumptions involved in the following accounting policies may have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements.

 

JOBS Act

 

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an “emerging growth company.” We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of the JOBS Act provision that an emerging growth company may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such times as those standards apply to private companies.

 

In addition, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if as an “emerging growth company” we choose to rely on such exemptions, we mayare not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, and (ii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis). These exemptions will apply until December 31, 2022 or until we no longer meet the requirements of being an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are: the fair values of financial assets and liabilities;are the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation;compensation, the useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment; deferred income taxesequipment, allocation of proceeds from financings to shares and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption.warrants, and fair value of warrants and placement agent warrants. 

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development expenses comprise costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, safety and efficacy studies, and contract manufacturing costs, contract research costs, patent procurement costs, materials and supplies and occupancy costs. Research and development activities include internal and external activities associated with research and development studies of current product candidates and advancing product candidates towards a goal of obtaining regulatory approval to manufacture and market the product candidate.commercialization.

 

Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

 

The functional currency, as determined by management, is U.S. dollars, which is also our reporting currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and the monetary value of assets and liabilities are remeasuredtranslated at the period end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasuredmeasured at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.


Stock-Based Compensation

 

We measure the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by us cannot be reliably estimated.

 

We calculate stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method. The provisions of our stock-based compensation plans do not require us to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets, and therefore we classify the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revised,revise these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Volatility is determined based on volatilities of comparable companies when the Company does not have its own trading history. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on an average of the term of the options. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the CanadianU.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield percentage at the date of grant is nilzero as we are not expected to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share, or EPS, is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities are excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options and warrants to purchase our common shares issued during the period were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

We follow ASC topic 220. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive loss is net loss plus certain items that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. We currently have no other comprehensive loss items.

Our results of operationsRevenue for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was $14,124 and resulted from the sale of our TRUFORMA® products and associated warranties. We commenced commercialization of TRUFORMA® on March 31, 2019 are15, 2021 and accordingly had only limited sales activity in the first quarter of 2021. We expect that revenue will increase in subsequent periods as follows:we increase our sales and marketing activities and have full periods during which we obtain sales and record related revenue.

Revenue

We did not generate anyCost of revenue duringfor the three months ended March 31, 2020 and2021 was $5,658. As noted above, commercialization of TRUFORMA® commenced on March 31, 2019.15, 2021. We expect that cost of revenue will increase as we sell additional products in subsequent periods.

 

Research and Development

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was $630,066approximately $0.4 million compared to $7,531,375approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, a decrease of $6,901,309approximately $0.2 million, or 92%34%. The decrease was primarily due toa result of an overall reduction in research and development activity as we curtailed our drug development activities, and a reduction in milestone payments and licensing fees of $5,886,841, contracted expenditures of $891,979, consulting fees of $56,810, salaries, bonus and benefits of $33,164, and supplies of $34,152. The reduction in milestone payments resulted primarily from the payment in the 2019 period of an aggregate of $5,000,000 in milestone paymentsdevelopment costs related to ourTRUFORMA® as we completed development of TRUFORMATM under our developmentthe instrument and supply agreement with Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC which did not recur in the 2020 period. In addition, as previously announced, we have focused our efforts on the development and commercialization of TRUFORMATM, which resulted in the elimination of milestone payments relating to our other product candidates. We expect that our research and development expenditures in 2020 will be lower than in 2019, as our work will focus solely on the verification and validation of TRUFORMATM. The novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has impacted our expected timing for the completionthree of the development. Changes in timing may also affect anticipated costs of associated with such delays.first five assays and began commercialization.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

GeneralSelling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was $1,248,861,approximately $3.5 million, compared to $3,212,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,963,496 or 61%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in share-based compensation which was $155,022approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $2,341,104 for the comparable period in 2019. After adjusting for the share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expense increased $222,586. Thisan increase of approximately $1.8 million, or 105%. The increase primarily was due to an increase in officeshare-based compensation expense of $177,686, primarily associated with the purchase of office furniture for our newly leased office space, an increase in regulatory fees of $64,364, primarily associated with NYSE American listing fees, the reclassification of rent expense from amortization of right-of-use asset of $50,078, offset by a reduction in travel and accommodation of $44,790. Due to our focus on our TRUFORMATM platform, we have reduced administrative headcount and associated activities and therefore, we expect that general and administrative expense will decrease in the remainder of 2020.


Professional Fees

We also incurred a direct charge to retained earnings as a result of the exchange of the Series 1 preferred shares of approximately $32.0 million as a result of the exchange of the Series 1 preferred shares, resulting in a net loss of $11,676,908,$0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.5 million, or $0.12$0.02 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease2020, an increase of $9,226,290approximately $1.5 million, or 79%60%. The net loss in each period was attributed to the matters described above. We expect to continue to record net losses in future periods until such time if ever, as we have sufficient revenue from our product candidatessales to offset our operating expenses.

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations and have not generated any revenue since our inception in May 2015. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $54,508,459.approximately $105.0 million. We have funded our working capital requirements primarily through the sale of our equity and equity-related securities and the exercise of stock options.options and warrants.

 

As at

At March 31, 2020,2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,496,752,approximately $276.6 million, inventory of approximately $0.3 million, prepaid expenses and deposits of $520,290, andapproximately $1.4 million, accounts receivable of $142,463. Current$8,535 and tax credits receivable of approximately $0.2 million. At March 31, 2021, current assets amounted to $2,159,505 withapproximately $278.5 million and current liabilities of $1,801,763,were approximately $2.0 million, resulting in working capital (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $357,742.approximately $276.5 million.

 

On April 9, 2020,March 7, 2021, we exchanged the Company completed a confidentially marketed public offering (“CMPO”)12 issued and outstanding shares of itsour Series 1 Preferred Shares for 24,719,101 common shares valued at $44.0 million.

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, warrants and warrants for grossstock options to purchase 625,000 and 1,632,776 common shares, respectively were exercised, resulting in additional cash proceeds of $4,000,000.approximately $0.7 million.

 

As of March 31, 2020,

In December 2018, we had shareholders’entered into an at-the-market equity of $1,951,643. After giving effectoffering sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. under which we may sell pursuant to the April 2020 offering and exercises of Series B Warrants issueduniversal shelf registration statement common shares in the April 2020 offering, asUnited States only, from time to time, for up to $50.0 million and which was amended on March 25, 2019 to $10.0 million in aggregate sales proceeds in "at the market" transactions. No sales of May 11, 2020 our pro forma shareholders’ equitycommon shares were made under the sales agreement, and the program was inactive at March 31, 2020 would have been $6,173,718.

On April 20, 2020 we received a $527,360 loan under the SBA’s the Paycheck Protection Program.2021.

 

On October 17, 2017 we entered into a five-year $5,000,000 unsecured working capital facility with Equidebt LLC, one of our shareholders (the “Equidebt Facility”). Amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum payable at maturity. All amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility become due and payable on October 17, 2022. We can make two borrowings per month under the Equidebt Facility, each of which must be for a minimum of $250,000. TheNo amounts were outstanding under the Equidebt Facility is unsecured. As ofat March 31, 2020, no amounts have been borrowed against this facility.2021.


28

We believe that our existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund our expected working capital needs through December 2023. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict operations. In the event that we are unable to obtain sufficient capital to meet our working capital requirements, we may be required to change or curtail current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated. In such an event, we may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities and may have to terminate or delay safety and efficacy studies, curtail our product development programs, or sell or assign rights to our product candidates, products and technologies.

 

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our current or future product candidates;

 

the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for any of our current or future product candidates;

the number and characteristics of the product candidates we pursue;

 

the cost of manufacturing our current and future product candidates and any products we successfully commercialize;

 

the cost of commercialization activities if any of our current or future product candidates are approved for sale, including marketing, sales, service, customer support and distribution costs;

 

the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

 

the costs associated with being a public company;

 

our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements;

the scope and terms of our business plans from time to time, and our ability to realize upon our business plans;

 

the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing possible patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of any such litigation.litigation; and

the costs associated with additional business development or mergers and acquisitions activity

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Since inception, we have not engaged in the use of any off-balance sheet arrangements, such as structured finance entities, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

All of the currently outstanding warrants also have a “cashless exercise” feature which is applicable in certain circumstances. The cashless exercise feature could result in the potential issuance of common shares based upon the “in-the-money” value of the applicable warrants at the time of exercise of the applicable warrants. The number of the common shares that may be issued is not determinable. However, the number of common shares that are issuable is based upon a formula contained in the applicable warrants, which determines the number of common shares issuable by dividing the “in-the-money” value (based upon the then current market price, as provided in the applicable warrants) by the then current market price, and multiplying this result by the number of common shares that are issuable under the applicable warrants pursuant to cash exercise.

The cashless exercise feature could result in the potential issuance of common shares based upon the “in-the-money” value of the February Warrants at the time of exercise of the applicable February Warrants. The number of the common shares that may be issued is not determinable. However, the number of common shares that are issuable is based upon a formula contained in the February Warrants, which determines the number of common shares issuable by dividing the “in-the-money” value (based upon the then current market price, as provided in the February Warrants) by the then current market price, and multiplying this result by the number of common shares that are issuable under the applicable February Warrants pursuant to cash exercise.

Of these April Warrants, 16,666,667 are Series B Warrants, 1,666,667 are Placement Agent Warrants, and are all exercisable for a cash price of $0.15 per share. There are currently 14,000,167 April Warrants outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 14,000,167 common shares.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation (“Heska”) filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and the Companyus (collectively with Qorvo, the “Defendants”). which was amended on November 22, 2019. The amended Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s trade secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets related to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances. The amended Complaint seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants from commercializing the Company’s TRUFORMATMour TRUFORMATM diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to which the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. The Court has not yet ruled onHeska subsequently moved to strike a portion of the Defendants’ response. On September 30, 2020, the court denied the Defendants’ motion to dismiss and granted Heska’s motion to strike. On October 14, 2020 the litigation remains stayed pending a ruling on that motion. The Company believesDefendants filed their answer to the amended Complaint. On May 10, 2021, the Defendants filed an updated answer and counterclaims to Heska’s amended complaint alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices claims against Heska. Discovery is ongoing. We believe that the allegations in the amended Complaint have no merit and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’sour business, results of operations or financial condition. Although the Company is expected to commence the commercialization of its TRUFORMATM platform by the end of 2020, the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic has impacted the Company’s expected timing, as described further in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report.

Qorvo Biotech has notified the Companyus that Qorvo Biotech has assumed the defense of the amended Complaint and will indemnify the Companyus for losses arising from the amended Complaint in accordance with the terms of the Qorvo Agreement. Qorvo Biotech has further advised the Companyus that it intends to mount a vigorous defense to the claims in the amended Complaint, and that it believes the allegations contained in the amended Complaint are without merit.

RISK FACTORSItem 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Risks RelatedIf we are unable to Our Businessestablish an effective direct sales capability, our ability to market and sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product revenue will be materially and adversely affected.

As a result of our experience with the initial commercialization of TRUFORMA®, we have recently changed our sales strategy to focus on enhancing our internal capability to sell our existing and future products. As part of this strategic change, we are hiring additional sales personnel and sales support staff. We expect that expanding our internal sales capability will increase our compensation and other expenses. While members of our management team are experienced in the marketing, sale and distribution of animal diagnostic products, we as a company have not previously commercialized any products and there are significant risks involved in building and managing a sales organization, including our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified individuals, generate sufficient sales leads, provide adequate training to sales and marketing personnel, and effectively oversee a geographically dispersed sales team. If we are unable to build an effective sales organization, our ability to sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product revenue will be materially and adversely affected.

 

We have a limited operating history,used third parties to assist in the sales and distribution of our products. If these third parties are not profitablesuccessful in selling our products or do not adequately perform their obligations, our ability to market and may never become profitable.sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product revenue could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We have not generated any revenueused third parties to date,assist in the sales and we expect to continue to incur significant research and development costs and other expenses. Our net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $2,450,618 and $11,676,908, respectively, and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $19,784,054 and $16,647,687, respectively. Our accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2020 was $54,508,459. As of March 31, 2020, we had total shareholders' equity of $1,951,643. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, which will increase significantly from historical levels as we expand our product development activities (including conducting required clinical studies and trials), seek necessary approvals for our product candidates, and begin commercialization activities. Even if we succeed in developing and broadly commercializing one or moredistribution of our TRUFORMA® instrument and related assays. We cannot assure you that these third parties will be successful in selling our products or that they will satisfy their obligations to us. If our sales and distribution partners are not successful in selling our products, or do not adequately perform their obligations, our ability to sell our existing and future products and our ability to generate product candidates, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never become profitable. If we fail to achieve or maintain profitability, then we mayrevenue could be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or cease operations. 

The “Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019” (“COVID-19”) pandemic has materially and adversely affected the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform.affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic has materially and adversely affected the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform and the initial five assays. In response to the pandemic, our development partner has reduced the number of employees working in its facilities which we expect will delay the completion of the verification of the five initial TRUFORMA™ assays and the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the TRUFORMA™ platform and the related assays. Veterinary hospitals and clinics that had agreed to participate in the validation of our initial TRUFORMA™ assays have either shut down or limited their operations to those involving only life-threatening conditions. Potential customers have restricted access to their facilities which will affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities and to install purchased equipment. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform and the related assays will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, the spread and severity of COVID-19, and the effectiveness of governmental actions in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted our development partners and the COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted our development partners and the COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. For example, our development partner for our TRUFORMA™ platform and the related assays has reduced the number of employees working in its facility which has significantly impacted our expected timing for the completion of the development and the commencement of the commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform and the related assays. If our suppliers are unable or fail to fulfill their obligations to us for any reason, we may not be able to manufacture our products and satisfy customer demand or our obligations under sales agreements in a timely manner, and our business could be harmed as a result. At this point in time, there is uncertainty relating to the potential effect of COVID-19 on our business. Infections may become more widespread and should that cause supply disruptions it would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, a significant health epidemic could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect the market for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.


The COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect the sales of our products.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant spike in unemployment and a concomitant decline in economic activity in the U.S. and many other countries and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments may have similar effects. Pet owners may be unwilling or unable to seek treatment for their pets in such circumstances, thereby decreasing demand for our products. In addition, as noted above, potential customers for our products have either shut down or limited their operations to those involving only life-threatening conditions which will affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities and to install purchased equipment. Potential customers also may be unwilling or unable to invest in new equipment or to introduce new treatments for their patients. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect the sales of our products.

We are subject to the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American. If we are unable to comply with such requirements, our common shares would be delisted from the NYSE American, which would limit investors’ ability to effect transactions in our common shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our common shares are currently listed on the NYSE American. In order to maintain our listing, we must maintain certain share prices, financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum amount of shareholders’ equity and a minimum number of public shareholders. In addition to these objective standards, the NYSE American may delist the securities of any issuer if, in its opinion, the issuer’s financial condition and/or operating results appear unsatisfactory; if it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the security has become so reduced as to make continued listing on the NYSE American inadvisable; if the issuer sells or disposes of principal operating assets or ceases to be an operating company; if an issuer fails to comply with the NYSE American’s listing requirements; if an issuer’s common stock sells at what the NYSE American considers a “low selling price” (generally trading below $0.20 per share for an extended period of time); or if any other event occurs or any condition exists which makes continued listing on the NYSE American, in its opinion, inadvisable. On April 10, 2020, we received a deficiency letter from the NYSE American indicating that the we are not compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, because our common shares have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period time. If we fail to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards by October 10, 2020, the NYSE American will commence delisting proceedings.

If the NYSE American delists our common shares from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our common shares would qualify to be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

·a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

·reduced liquidity for our securities;

·a determination that our common shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

·a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

·a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
