NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for the interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Unaudited interim financial information

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 20222022.

The balance sheet for December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Non-U.S. dollar denominated transactions and balances have been re-measured to U.S. dollars. All gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The cumulative translation gains as ofloss for the yearsnine months ended SeptemberMarch 31,30, 2022 and 2021 were $657 and $57, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition

 

It is the Company’s policy that revenues from product sales is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” Five basic steps must be followed before revenue can be recognized; (1) Identifying the contract(s) with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; (2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract, such as promising to transfer goods or services to a customer; (3) Determining the transaction price, meaning the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract; and (5) Recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Adoption of ASC 606 has not changed the timing and nature of the Company’s revenue recognition and there has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Revenue from product sales is recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which includes estimates of variable consideration that result from coupons, discounts, chargebacks and distributor fees, processing fees, as well as allowances for returns and government rebates. The Company constrains revenue by giving consideration to factors that could otherwise lead to a probable reversal of revenue. Collectability of revenue is reasonably assured based on historical evidence of collectability between the Company and its customers.

 

Revenues from sales to distributors are recognized at the time the products are delivered to the distributors (“sell-in”). The Company does not grant rights of return, credits, rebates, price protection, or other privileges on its products to distributors.

Stock-based compensation and Optionsoptions

 

During the three-monthnine-month period ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, 120,000437,500 and 180,000 options were granted, respectively. The options were granted to employees and board members and were recorded at a fair value and vestedvest over three years.years. During the three-month periodsthree and nine-month period ended March 31,September 30, 2022, and 2021, stock-based compensation expense of $86116 and $109287 was recorded for options that vested, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 0 and 13,845 options expired, respectively.

 

The fair value for options granted in the firstthird quarter of 2022 and 2021 is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model with the following underlying assumptions:

 SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE ASSUMPTIONS FOR OPTIONS GRANTED

Warrant exercises and modification

On December 2, 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to such investors in a private placement an aggregate of (i) 5,914,285 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $0.70 per share and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,657,144 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.699 per pre-funded warrant, for gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million, and net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million. In January 2021, two investors exercised an aggregate of 1,657,144 warrants at $0.001 per share.

 

On January 21, 2021, Company entered into letter agreements (the “Letter Agreements”) with certain existing accredited investors to exercise certain outstanding warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,205,968 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.165 (the “Exercise”). Certain of the Existing Warrants (the “Registered Existing Warrants”) and the shares of common stock underlying the Registered Existing Warrants have been registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251264) and a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-218871). In consideration for the exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, the exercising holders will receivereceived new unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,205,967 shares of common stock (the “New Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.04 per share and with an exercise period of seven years from the initial closing date. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Exercise were approximately $1.4 million.

 

The New Warrants were accounted for in warrant modification expense, which was measured at the amount equal to the incremental value reflecting the change in the fair value of the warrants before and after the Warrant Amendment. Accordingly, warrant modification expense in the amount of $0 and $1,627 was recorded forwith a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital in the quarters ended March 31,second quarter of 2021.

On June 14, 2022, the Company issued warrants to two sales consultants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock which will expire on June 14, 2029and 2021, respectively,have an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Accordingly, expense related to these warrants in the amount of $135,000 was recorded with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital.

 

On September 30, 2022, the Company and the two sales consultants mutually agreed to cancel the latter’s annual stock warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock. Accordingly, expense related to these warrants were reversed in the amount of $135,000 with a corresponding decrease in additional paid in capital.

In estimating the warrants’ fair value, the Company used the following assumptions:

NOTE 5 – LOSS PER SHARE APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDER

 

Basic net loss per common share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All outstanding stock options and warrants for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s securities, in common stock equivalents, which have been excluded from the calculation of dilutive loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

SUMMARY OF COMMON SHARE EQUIVALENTS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM DILUTIVE LOSS PER SHARE AS ANTI-DILUTIVE 

 March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021  September 30, 2022  September 30, 2021 
Series D Preferred Stock - 153,000   -   153,000 
Series E Preferred Stock - 875,000 
Stock Options - employee and non-employee 2,659,999 1,928,544   2,977,499   1,914,699 
Warrants  2,309,347  5,447,594   2,309,347   2,309,347 
Total  4,969,346  8,404,138   5,286,846   4,224,199 

 

The diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share in the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 because the Company had a net loss and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and December 31, 2021.nine months ended September 30, 2021, changes in the fair value of these warrants amounted to $7 and $9, respectively.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value accounting standards define fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

There were no transfers betweenfrom Level 3 during the quarters ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Other Risks

 

On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition,conditions, and on the market price of our common shares.

 

In addition, U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common shares.

Lastly, inflation, as well as some of the measures taken by or that may be taken by the governments in countries where we operate in an attempt to curb inflation may have negative effects on the economies of those countries generally. If the United States or other countries where we operate experience substantial inflation in the future, our business may be adversely affected. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Specifically, our existing distributor agreements limit the amount that we can increase the price that we sell our products to the distributors. Accordingly, an inflationary environment, including factors such as increasing freight and materials prices, could make it less profitable for us to do business.

 

Pending litigation

 

On February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc. (“Protrade”) filed a Request for Arbitration (the “Request”) with the International Court of Arbitration (the “ICA”) of the International Chamber of Commerce alleging the Company is in breach of an Exclusive Distribution Agreement dated March 7, 2019 (the “Agreement”) between Protrade and the Company. Protrade alleges, in part, that the Company has breached the Agreement by discontinuing the manufacture of the DV0057 Painshield MD device in favor of an updated 10-100-001 Painshield MD device. Protrade claims damages estimated at $3 million. The Company vigorously defended the claims asserted by Protrade.

 

On March 15, 2022, the arbitrator issued a final award, which, although found thatdenied all Protrade’s claims, failed as a matter of law or were unsupported by the evidence, nevertheless awarded Protrade about $1,500,250, which consists of $1,432,0001.5 for “lost profits” and $68,250 as reimbursement of arbitration costs,million, on the grounds that the Company allegedly failed to supply Protrade with certainfulfill an order for reusable hydrogel patches utilized by users of DV0057 Painshield MD device.placed after the Agreement was terminated. The arbitrator based her decision on the basis of testimony of Protrade’s president who asserted that a userpatient would use in excess of 33 reusable patches per each device. Thedevice, which the Company believes thatis a grossly inflated number.

On April 5, 2022, Protrade filed a Petition with the numberSupreme Court of patches per device alleged by Protrade is grossly inflated. Accordingly, onNew York Nassau County seeking to confirm the Award. On April 13, 2022, the Company submitted an application forto the correction ofICA seeking to correct an error in the award. Ifaward based on the application isevidence that the Company only sold 2-3 reusable patches per device contrary to the 33 reusable patches claimed by Protrade. The same arbitrator who issued the award, denied the application.

On July 22, 2022, the Company willfiled a motion seeking to vacate arbitration award on the grounds that the arbitrator exceeded her authority, that the award was procured by fraud, and that the arbitrator failed to follow procedures established by New York law. In particular, the Company averred in its motion that Protrade’s witness made false statements in arbitration, and that the arbitrator resolved a claim that was never raised by Protrade and that has no factual basis.

On October 3, 2022, the court issued a decision granting Protrade its petition to confirm the Award and denying the cross-motion.

On November 9, 2022, the Company filed a motion to re-argue and re-plead the arbitration decision based on additional information that was not available during the initial hearing. On the same day, the Company also filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. The Company expects to continue vehemently opposingto vigorously pursue its opposition to the award in all appropriate fora.

Protrade alleges, in part, that the Company has breached the Agreement by discontinuing the manufacture of the DV0057 Painshield MD device in favor of an updated 10-100-001 Painshield MD device. Protrade claims damages estimated at $3 million. The Company vigorously defended the claims asserted by Protrade.

 

On March 15, 2022, the arbitrator issued a final award, which, although found thatdenied all Protrade’s claims, failed as a matter of law or were unsupported by the evidence, nevertheless awarded Protrade $1,500,250, which consists of $1,432,000 for “lost profits” and $68,250 as reimbursement of arbitration costs,about $1.5 million, on the grounds that the Company allegedly failed to supply Protrade with certainfulfill an order for reusable hydrogel patches utilized by users of DV0057 Painshield MD device.placed after the Agreement was terminated.

Nasdaq Deficiency and Hearings Panel Decision

On March 2, 2022, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between January 14, 2022, through March 1, 2022, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 29, 2022, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). The letter further provided that if, at any time during the 180-day period, the closing bid price of our common stock was at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq would provide us with written confirmation that it had achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company did not evidence compliance with the price requirement by August 29, 2022.

On August 30, 2022, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company’s securities would be subject to delisting due to the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which stayed any further action by Nasdaq at least pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing. On October 17, 2022, the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market until December 15, 2022, subject to the Company providing a written update to the Panel on December 15, 2022.

On September 13, 2022, subject to stockholder approval, the Board approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of the Board, effect the reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-50, with the exact ratio within such range to be determined by the Board at its discretion. The primary goal of the reverse stock split is to increase the per share market price of our common stock to meet the minimum per share bid price requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. As indicated by our proxy statement filed on October 31, 2022, stockholders of our common stock and Series F Preferred will be able to vote on the reverse stock split at our annual meeting to be held on December 15, 2022. However, there is no assurance that our stockholders will approve the stock split or that our common stock will close at prices for the required number of days for us to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. We expect to provide a written update to the Panel on December 15, 2022, immediately following the annual meeting.

Regulatory Update

On May 26, 2022, we were notified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that we should discontinue any new marketing of our PainShield Plus products until we receive formal approval that the devices meet the predicate product category specifications. The Company is working with a qualified third-party laboratory to gain such approval. As a result, the Company has also delayed submitting its application for approval of our PainShield Relief product until this matter is resolved. There is no guarantee that the qualified third-party laboratory will be able re-engineer the product so that it meets the predicate product category specifications, or that we will ever be successful in obtaining FDA clearance or approval for the PainShield Plus and Painshield Relief products.

We also filed an application with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for reimbursement earlier this year. The application was rejected due to a lack of data supporting its life expectancy. In order to rectify this deficiency, we entered into an agreement with a qualified third-party laboratory to conduct testing to provide independent data supporting our assertion

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses in the amount of approximately $1,137,000$3,351,000 and had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,741,000$5,704,000 during the quarternine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022. Although we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities through 2022, we had a cash balance of just over $5,990,000$1,972,000 as of March 31, 2022 and theSeptember 30, 2022. The Company’s management believes that the Company hasdoes not have sufficient capitalresources to execute its business plan over the next twelve months. If the Company is unable to successfully commercialize its products overfund our operations for the next twelve months it mayfrom the date of this report, thus, management has substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise additional capital atto finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. If we are unable to obtain stockholder ratification of certain prior issuances of our common stock and approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock, we will be unable to issue common stock or convertible instruments. As a later time. There are no assurances thatresult, the Company wouldwill be ablelimited in its ability to raise additional capital, if required, on terms favorable to it. If the Company is unsuccessful in commercializing its products and raising capital, it will need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.capital.

 

During the quarternine-month period ended March 31,September 30, 2022, we met our short-term liquidity requirements from our existing cash reserves. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products, our development of future products and competing technological and market developments as well as our ability to overcome obstacles that may be presented due to developments caused by the coronavirus outbreak.developments. We expect to continue to incur losses and negative flows from operations. We intend to use the proceeds generated from equity financings, or strategic alliances with third parties, either alone or in combination with equity financing to meet our short-term liquidity requirements as well as to advance our long-term plans. While weWe do not believe we have sufficient capital to execute our business plan over the next twelve months and there are no assurances that we will not need to raise additional capital later, or that we would be able to raise additional capital, if required, on terms favorable to us.

 

We do not have any material commitments to capital expenditures as of March 31,September 30, 2022, and we are not aware of any material trends in capital resources that would impact our business.

 

As of September 30, 2022, we have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Cash flows

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5,990,000,$1,972,000, compared to approximately $7,978,000$7,737,000 as of MarchDecember 31, 2021. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuance of equity, borrowing activities and sales. Our cash requirements are generally for product development, research and development cost, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative cost, capital expenditures and general working capital.

 

Cash used in our operating activities was approximately $1,741,000$5,704,000 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and $954,000$3,504,000 for the same period in 2021.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0nil for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 compared to $1,406,000$4,580,000 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2022, we have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Factors That May Affect Future Operations

 

We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the ordering patterns of our distributors, timing of regulatory approvals, the implementation of various phases of our clinical trials and manufacturing efficiencies due to the learning curve of utilizing new materials and equipment as well as issues that may continue to occur due togeneral market conditions as a result of inflation or the developmentpossibility of the coronavirus outbreak. While there were significant delays in the production of goods due to COVID-19 issues, presently, we are no longer experiencing such delays in the production of our products. That said, there are no assurances that if subsequent waves of the pandemic occur that we will not experience significant delays in the future.a worldwide recession. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the Euro and strengthening of the New Israeli Shekel (NIS), both against the U.S. dollar. Lastly,or related currency fluctuations. Also, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand, such as individual country reimbursement policies pertaining to our products. Lastly, U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common shares.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,September 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022.

Remediation Efforts to Address the Material Weaknesses

With the oversight of senior management and our audit committee, we are taking the steps below and plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022:

The Company took steps to remediate the stock issuance material weakness through creating a template documentation that needs to be filled out before any new equity issuances to ensure that there are no further over-issuances.

With assistance from a current finance and accounting third-party service provider, the Company is formalizing our risk assessment process, policies and procedures, implementing revised control activities, controls documentation, and ongoing monitoring activities related to the internal controls over financial reporting including testing documentation to provide evidence that our system of internal controls over financial reporting meets the requirements of the COSO 2013 framework, and provide a foundation for the Company to communicate internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action.

In addition, under the direction of the audit committee of the Board of Directors, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment, as well as to refine policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of the Company.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be involved in certain claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of business. Management assesses such claims and, if it considers that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the most likely outcome.

 

On February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc. (“Protrade”) filed a Request for Arbitration (the “Request”) with the International Court of Arbitration (the “ICA”) of the International Chamber of Commerce alleging the Company is in breach of an Exclusive Distribution Agreement dated March 7, 2019 (the “Agreement”) between Protrade and the Company. Protrade alleges, in part, that the Company has breached the Agreement by discontinuing the manufacture of the DV0057 Painshield MD device in favor of an updated 10-100-001 Painshield MD device. Protrade claims damages estimated at $3 million. The Company vigorously defended the claims asserted by Protrade.

 

On March 15, 2022, the arbitrator issued a final award, which, although found thatdenied all Protrade’s claims, failed as a matter of law or were unsupported by the evidence, nevertheless awarded Protrade $1,500,250, which consists of $1,432,000 for “lost profits” and $68,250 as reimbursement of arbitration costs,about $1.5 million, on the grounds that the Company allegedly failed to supply Protrade with certainfulfill an order for reusable hydrogel patches utilized by users of DV0057 Painshield MD device.placed after the Agreement was terminated. The arbitrator based her decision on the basis of testimony of Protrade’s president who asserted that a userpatient would use in excess of 33 reusable patches per each device. Thedevice, which the Company believes thatis a grossly inflated number.

On April 5, 2022, Protrade filed a Petition with the numberSupreme Court of patches per device alleged by Protrade is grossly inflated. Accordingly, onNew York Nassau County seeking to confirm the Award. On April 13, 2022, the Company submitted an application forto the correction ofICA seeking to correct an error in the award. Ifaward based on the application isevidence that the Company only sold 2-3 reusable patches per device contrary to the 33 reusable patches claimed by Protrade. The same arbitrator who issued the award, denied the application.

On July 22, 2022, the Company willfiled a motion seeking to vacate arbitration award on the grounds that the arbitrator exceeded her authority, that the award was procured by fraud, and that the arbitrator failed to follow procedures established by New York law. In particular, the Company averred in its motion that Protrade’s witness made false statements in arbitration, and that the arbitrator resolved a claim that was never raised by Protrade and that has no factual basis.

On October 3, 2022, the court issued a decision granting Protrade its petition to confirm the Award and denying the cross-motion.

On November 9, 2022, the Company filed a motion to re-argue and re-plead the arbitration decision based on additional information that was not available during the initial hearing. On the same day, the Company also filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. The Company expects to continue vehemently opposingto vigorously pursue its opposition to the award in all appropriate fora.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company accrued the amount of the award to Protrade amounting to $1,500,250 as part of “Other accounts payable and accrued expenses”.

 

There are no other material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial stockholder of more than 5% of our common stock, or any associate of any of the foregoing is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, the risk factors addressed below associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2021, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

 

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.

If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

As a public reporting company, we are required to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to establish such internal control, or any failure of such internal control once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of our internal control over financial reporting could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial frauds.

 

Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted. In addition, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting (including those weaknesses identified in our periodic reports), or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our securities.

 

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of a full and complete testing of our disclosure controls and procedures. We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and related disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021. Our management is in the process of implementing remediation measures with respect to the controls and written policies and procedures as described in Part II, Item 9A,4, “Controls and Procedures,” and management expects that such measures, once fully implemented, will be sufficient to remediate such material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2021.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

 


Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We must satisfy NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million and a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.

 

On March 2, 2022, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between January 14, 2022, through March 1, 2022, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 555(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 29, 2022, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

On August 30, 2022, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company’s securities would be subject to delisting due to the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which stayed any further action by Nasdaq at least pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing. On October 17, 2022, the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market until December 15, 2022, subject to the Company providing a written update to the Panel on December 15, 2022.

On September 13, 2022 subject to stockholder approval, the Board approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of the Board, effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-50, with the exact ratio within such range to be determined by the Board at its discretion, and have submitted this for stockholder vote at the annual meeting to be held on December 15, 2022. The primary goal of the reverse stock split is to increase the per share market price of our common stock to meet the minimum per share bid price requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. However, even if the market price of our common stock does rise reflecting the applicable reverse stock split ratio immediately following the reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock immediately after a reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our common stock will maintain the closing bid price for the required period of time to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement following the reverse stock split. 

21

 

There is no assurance that we can regain compliance with such minimum listing requirements. If our common stock were delisted from NASDAQ, trading of our common stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be subject to SEC rules as a “penny stock,” which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and do not include adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management has substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the three quarters of 2022, the Company’s cash used in operations was $5,704 leaving a cash balance of $1,972 as of September 30, 2022. Because the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the date of this filing, management has substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company will need to raise additional capital to finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. There are no assurances that the Company would be able to raise additional capital on terms favorable to it. If the Company is unsuccessful in commercializing its products and raising capital, it will need to reduce activities, curtail, or cease operations.

Failure to obtain stockholder authorization to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the reverse stock split may adversely affect our business.

On September 13, 2022 subject to stockholder approval, the Board approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of the Board, effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-50, with the exact ratio within such range to be determined by the Board at its discretion, and have submitted this for stockholder vote at the annual meeting to be held on December 15, 2022.

If the reverse stock split is not approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting on December 15, 2022, our Board will not have the authority to effect the reverse stock split to, among other things, facilitate the continued listing of our common stock on Nasdaq by increasing the per share trading price of our common stock to help ensure a share price high enough to satisfy the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. Any inability of our Board to effect the reverse stock split could expose us to delisting from Nasdaq.

In addition, our financing alternatives will be limited by the lack of any available unissued and unreserved authorized shares of common stock, and stockholder value may be harmed by this limitation. As of October 31, 2022, we had 27,997,793 shares of common stock outstanding and 5,673,633 shares of common stock reserved for issuance or issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and equity awards. Accordingly, we had 6,324,574 shares of common stock available for issuance as of October 31, 2022, which is a small percentage and could limit our ability to raise funds in the future to the extent necessary. Moreover, our future success depends upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly-skilled employees. If the reverse stock split is not approved by our stockholders, the lack of any available unissued and unreserved authorized shares of common stock to provide future equity incentive opportunities could adversely impact our ability to achieve these goals.

Our PainShield Plus products have not been cleared or approved by the FDA, and we have suspended marketing the device until it has been formally approved by the FDA.

On May 26, 2022, we were notified by the FDA that we should discontinue any new marketing of our PainShield Plus products until we receive formal approval that the devices meet the predicate product category specifications. The Company is working with a qualified third-party laboratory to gain such approval. As a result, the Company has also delayed submitting its application for approval of our PainShield Relief product until this matter is resolved. There is no guarantee that the qualified third-party laboratory will be able re-engineer the product so that it meets the predicate product category specifications, or that we will ever be successful in obtaining FDA clearance or approval for the PainShield Plus and PainShield Relief products.
