Notes to condensed financial statements (unaudited)

June 30, 2022

March 31, 2023

Note A - Basis of Reporting

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements of American Bio Medica Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with audited financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. In the opinion of management, the interim condensed financial statements include all normal, recurring adjustments which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 and cash flows for the sixthree month periods ended June 30,March 31, 2023 (the “First Quarter 2023”) and March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021.(the “First Quarter 2022”).

 

Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022First Quarter 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that maywill be expectedreported for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023 as the Company sold substantially all of its assets on February 28, 2023 to Healgen Scientific, LLC (“Healgen”). Amounts at December 31, 20212022 are derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022,First Quarter 2023, there were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

The preparation of these interim condensed financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, contingencies and litigation. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying valuesvalue of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. OurThe independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of this report, the Company’s current cash balances together with cash generated from future operations and amounts available underexpected from its receivables (including the Company’s credit facilities areEmployee retention Credit receivable and the retention (escrow) proceeds from the asset sale) may not currentlybe sufficient to fund operations through August 2023.

Through the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a line of credit with Crestmark Bank. The maximum availability on the Company’s line of credit was $1,000,000. However, because the amount available under the line of credit is based upon the Company’s accounts receivable, the amounts actually available under the line of credit (historically) have been significantly less than the maximum availability. As of June 30, 2022, based on the Company’s availability calculation, there were no additional amounts available under the Company’s line of credit because the Company draws any balance available on a daily basis.through May 2024.

 

The Company’s credit facilities with Cherokee Financial, LLC (“Cherokee”) matured/expiredwere paid in full with proceeds from the asset sale on February 15, 2022 with a final balloon payment due of $1,240,000. Throughout the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company was in discussions with Cherokee related to the maturity and loan payoff, including, but not limited to, methods to pay off the two credit facilities, restructuring of the credit facilities and/or further extension of the facilities. On June 14, 2022, Cherokee agreed that they would defer the principal amounts due under the facilities until February 15, 2023 and that any applicable penalties would also be deferred as long as the Company remains current on the quarterly interest payments. Furthermore, any penalties will also be waived if the principal amounts are paid on or prior to February 15,28, 2023.

Table of Contents

The Company’s total debt at June 30, 2022 with Cherokee is $1,240,000. The Company does not expect cash from operations within the next 12 months to be sufficient to pay the amounts due under these credit facilities so, the Company is currently looking at alternatives to pay off or refinance these facilities.

As discussed in more detail in “Cash Flow, Outlook/Risk”, if sales levels decline further, the Company will have further reduced availability on its line of credit due to decreased accounts receivable balances. If availability under the Company’s line of credit is not sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, the Company will be required to obtain additional credit facilities or sell additional equity securities, or delay capital expenditures or reduce or terminate operations, which would have a material adverse effect on the business.  There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that the Company will be able to complete financing on satisfactory terms, if at all or continue its operations.

The Crestmark LOC is secured by a first security interest in the Company’s inventory, receivables and security interest in all other assets of the Company (in accordance with permitted prior encumbrances). Although secured by the assets previously indicated, the Crestmark LOC is a receivables-based only line of credit and the maximum availability (“Maximum Amount”) under the Crestmark LOC is $1,000,000. The Crestmark LOC has a minimum loan balance requirement of $500,000. At June 30, 2022, the Company did not meet the minimum loan balance requirement as our balance was $52,000. Under the LSA, Crestmark has the right to calculate interest on the minimum balance requirement rather than the actual balance on the Crestmark LOC (and they are exercising that right).

In the event of a default of the LSA, which includes but is not limited to, failure of the Company to make any payment when due, Crestmark is permitted to charge an Extra Rate. The Extra Rate is the Company’s then current interest rate plus 12.75% per annum.

Interest on the Crestmark LOC is at a variable rate based on the Prime Rate plus 3% with a floor of 5.25%. As of June 30, 2022 the interest only rate on the Crestmark LOC was 7.75% and as of the date of this report, the interest only rate on the Crestmark LOC is 8.5%. As of the date of this report, with all fees considered (the interest rate + an Annual Loan Fee of $7,500 + a monthly maintenance fee of 0.30% of the actual average monthly balance from the prior month), the interest rate on the Crestmark LOC is 14.39%.

The Company incurred $22,000 in interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $24,000 in interest expense related to the Crestmark LOC in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company incurred $12,000 in interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $11,000 in interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE FH – Employee Retention Credit

 

The employee retention credit (“ERC”), as originally enacted on March 27, 2020 by the CARES Act, iswas a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes equal to 50% of the qualified wages an eligible employer pays to employees. On March 1, 2021, the IRS released Notice 2021-20 to provide guidance on the original ERC, as modified by the Relief Act. The Relief Act extended and enhanced the ERC for qualified wages paid after December 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Under the Relief Act, eligible employers may claim a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes equal to 70% of the qualified wages an eligible employer pays to employees after December 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Under the American Rescue Plan Act and previously under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the ERC was extended and expanded allowingallowed claims through December 31, 2021 by eligible employers who retained employees during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, onin November 5, 2021, the House of Representatives passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“Infrastructure Bill”) under which the ERC would terminatewas terminated as of September 20,30, 2021 instead of December 31, 2021 and, President Biden signed the bill on November 15, 2021.

 

The maximum qualified wages for each employee under the current ERC iswas $10,000 per quarter. Also, because the Company has 100 or fewer full-time employees, health plan expenses borne by the Company cancould also be included as qualified wages in addition to salary. To qualify for the ERC in 2021, an employer must have experienced at least a 20% reduction in gross receipts when compared to the same quarter in either 2020 or 2019. During the first quarter of 2021, the second quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2021, the Company qualified for the ERC when comparing its 2021 quarters with both 2020 and 2019 quarters. In August 2021, the Company’s payroll service provider processed and mailed a Form 941-X to claim a refund in the amount of $202,000 on qualified wages paid in the first quarter of 2021. Due to a change in the Form 941-X, the Company’s payroll service provider did not process and mail its Form 941-X to claim a refund in the amount of $198,000 on qualified wages paid in the second quarter of 2021 until October 28, 2021. In the middle of the third quarter of 2021, the Company began taking the ERC in its current payroll; which reduced payroll by approximately $44,000 in the third quarter of 2021. Given this, the Company did not have to amend its Form 941 for the third quarter of 2021; however the Form 941 claiming a refund in the amount of $137,000 was filed electronically with the IRS on November 1, 2021 by the Company’s payroll service provider. Upon passing of the Infrastructure Bill, the Company ceased taking the ERC in its current payroll.

 

On December 28, 2021, the Company received its refund for the third quarter of 2021 in the amount of $137,000. Shortly before receiving the first refund, the Company spoke with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to obtain statuses of our filings. The Company was informed that the IRS did not have record of receiving the Company’s Form 941-X for the first quarter of 2021 (which was mailed by the Company’s service provider in August 2021). The Company re-sent the Form 941-X for the first quarter of 2021 via overnight service on December 31, 2021 and the IRS received it on January 5, 2022. This lack of receipt has resulted in a delay in receiving the expected refund in the amount of $202,000.

 

On June 2, 2022, the Company received a refund for the second quarter of 2021 in the amount of $199,000. This amount represents the $198,000 claimed as a refund and $1,000 in interest. Based onThe Company has had a discussionnumber of discussions with the IRS and has been given a number of time frames in late May 2022,which the refund for the first quarter of 2021 is expectedcould be expected. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not yet received the refund. (See Note M – Subsequent Events for updated information on the ERC refund)

LawsThe Board believes the Company’s status as a fully reporting public company is an asset which may be sufficiently attractive to induce others to enter into business combinations with the Company. The Company is exploring strategic transactions which may result in entering into a new line of business (subject to specific competitive limitations under the Asset Sale to Healgen). The Company believes strategic acquisitions using the Company’s publicly traded stock as transaction consideration could enhance shareholder value. Nonetheless, the Board may later determine to dissolve the Company and regulations concerning government programs, includingdistribute any remaining assets to the Employee Retention Credit are complex andCompany’s shareholders if the Company is unable to make any strategic acquisitions or enter into any strategic transactions.

On December 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Healgen, pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to varying interpretations. Claims made under the CARES Act may also be subjectapproval of its shareholders, to retroactive audit and review. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not challengesell substantially all of the Company’s claimoperating assets (excluding its cash, accounts receivables arising prior to the ERC,closing date, and it is not possiblecertain other assets). The Company submitted the Asset Sale to determine the impact (if any) this would have upon the Company. AlthoughHealgen to a shareholder vote via a preliminary Proxy Statement filed on December 22, 2022. On January 5, 2023, the Company has recorded $202,000 under other long term liabilitiesfiled an amendment to its Preliminary Proxy Statement and on our Condensed Balance SheetsJanuary 11, 2023, the Company filed its Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC.

Approval of the Asset Sale to Healgen required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (par value $0.01). 26,381,832, or 54.84% of the total outstanding shares of the Company, would not actually havevoted in favor of the Asset Sale to remit $202,000Healgen. 1,476,077, or 3.06% of the total outstanding shares, voted against the Asset Sale to Healgen. 5,990, or 0.01% of the IRS as thattotal shares outstanding, withheld voting on the Asset Sale to Healgen. Given the majority of total outstanding shares voted in favor of the Asset Sale to Healgen, the Asset Sale to Healgen was approved.

On February 28, 2023, the Company completed the Asset Sale to Healgen and disposition of substantially all of the Company’s assets. In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale to Healgen, and in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Healgen paid an aggregate purchase price of $3 million (“Purchase Price”). $300,000 of the Purchase Price is being held back in a retention fund to cover potential indemnification claims during the six months following the close.

LINCOLN PARK EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT – DECEMBER 2020

On December 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with Lincoln Park (together the “Agreements”) under which Lincoln Park agreed to purchase from the Company, from time to time, up to $10,250,000 of its shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, during the term of the Purchase Agreement (two years).

Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, on December 29, 2020, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the shares of common stock issued and sold as well as the shares of common stock that the Company may elect in the future to issue and sell to Lincoln Park. The SEC declared the Form S-1, as amended, effective on January 11, 2021. On January 11, 2021, the Company sold the remaining 500,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park required as an initial purchase under the Purchase Agreement for a purchase price of $125,000.

Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day selected by the Company on which the closing sale price of its common stock exceeds $0.05, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 200,000 common shares on the applicable purchase date (a “Regular Purchase”), which maximum number of shares may be increased to certain higher amounts up to a maximum of 250,000 or 500,000 common shares, if the market price of the Company’s common stock at the time of the Regular Purchase equals or exceeds amounts outlined in the Purchase Agreement. However, Lincoln Park’s purchase obligation under any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $500,000. The purchase price of the shares of common stock the Company may elect to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement in a Regular Purchase, if any, will be based on 95% of the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the purchase date for such Regular Purchase and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for the Company’s common shares during the 15 consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date for a Regular Purchase (in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction.)

Lincoln Park cannot require the Company to sell them any common stock, but is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs, subject to certain conditions outlined under the Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for the Company’s common shares that the Company may elect to sell to them pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In all instances, the Company may not sell common shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement to the extent that the sale of shares would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our common shares. There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, other than the Company’s agreement not to enter into any “variable rate” transactions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with any third party, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for the period set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s common stock.

Table of Contents

Actual sales of common stock to Lincoln Park, and the timing of the same, under the Purchase Agreement depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time. Proceeds the Company received from sales of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement are used at the sole discretion of Company management and are used for general corporate purposes, capital expenditures and working capital.

The Company did not sell any shares of common stock to Lincoln Park in the three or six months ended June 30, 2022 as the closing price of the Company’s shares of common stock did not exceed $0.05. In fact, the last sale to Lincoln Park was in October 2021.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock that represented the balance of the Initial Purchase and 4,400,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as Regular Purchases. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold a total of 2,100,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park (including the balance of the required initial purchase) as Regular Purchases and received proceeds of $381,000.

Amendment to December 2021 Shareholder Loan

On July 13, 2022, the remaining loan with an unaffiliated shareholder was amended again (under Amendment No. 4; hereinafter referred to in this paragraph as Amendment No. 4) increasing the principal by $25,000; bringing their total principal to $200,000 again. The loan agreement was also amended to revise the maturity date from June 15, 2022 to no specific maturity date.

Note J –L- Income Taxes

 

The Company follows ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which prescribes the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted laws and tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of net, deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits that are not expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted. Under ASC 740, tax benefits are recorded only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. With regards to the use of net losses incurred for 2018 and later, such net operating losses have no expiration, date, while net operating loss carryforwardstaxable income can only be used to offset up to 80% of taxable income. Net operating losses incurred prior to 2018 may be fully utilized to offset taxable income, but expire in 20 years.income.

The net change in the deferred income tax assets valuation allowance was $180,000 for the six months ended June 30,$532,000 at March 31, 2023 and $91,000 at March 31, 2022. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the prior full three years remain open for examination by the federal or state regulatory agencies for purposes of an audit for tax purposes.

 

At June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company had Federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $10,900,000$11,427,000 and research and development credits of $24,000.$26,000. The Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards began to expire in 2022 and continue to expire through 2037.2038. Net operating losses incurred from 2018 to date have no expiration date.expiration. In assessing the reliability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether or not it is more likely than not that some portion or all deferred income tax assets net, will be realized. The ultimate realization of net deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

The Company’s ability to utilize the operating loss carry-forwards and research and development credits may be subject to an annual limitation in future periods pursuant to Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if future changes in ownership occur.

The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to income tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes on operations. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next twelve months.

We caution that any forward-looking statements made herein are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, any risks detailed herein, in our “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, in our most recent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and from time to time in our other filings with the Commission, and any amendments thereto. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we are not undertaking any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview/Plan of OperationsOverview

 

Sales of drug tests continue to beThroughout the last several years, our products sales have been negatively impacted as customer pricing continues to decrease as a result of our markets being saturated with products made outside of the United States; primarily products made in China. This has resulted in a commoditization of the onsite drug testing market at a time when costs associated with labor, utilities, materials, insurance, etc. keep rising. In attempts to retain current customers and/or attract new customers that require lower pricing, we arehave been offering customers two drug test product lines that are manufactured in China.

 

In additionOther efforts to the marketing of drug tests, we have continuedoffset declines in our manufactured product sales involved selling various diagnostic product lines, including but not limited to, market various Covid-19 rapid tests. All of the Covid-19 tests we are offering are being marketed in accordance with the March 2020 Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) policy set forth by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in accordance with the individual EUAs issued for the products. We are currently offering a number of different rapid antigen tests and rapid antibody tests that can be used in various different settings, including home use; depending on their specific EUA issuance.

In addition to increased costs, the materials used in the manufacture of our drug test products are the same materials used in the manufacture of lateral flow Covid-19 tests as well as lateral flow tests for Influenza and thisRSV, both of which surged in the latter part of Fiscal 2022. This increased need for the same materials has resulted in supply chain delays; some of which have negatively impacted our customer relationships. One of those customers was our largest customer which severely negatively impacted our sales.

 

18

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are still not marketing our oral fluid drug test (OralStat®) in the employment and insurance markets in the United States (under a limited exemption set forth by the FDA). We remain hopeful that we can effectively market our OralStat in the United States markets given its superior sensitivity and accuracy. Initially we may re-introduce the product in markets outside the United States via distribution relationships.

In 2019 we expanded our contract manufacturing operations with two new customers. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic halted sales to these customers throughout 2020 and into 2021 but, in the year ended December 31, 2021, we started to ship orders to them again as their business started to return to normal. We are hopeful that sales to these customers will improve as we get further outside of the pandemic.

In our current fiscal year and beyond, we are focusing our efforts on further penetration of our markets with our current products that we manufacture and distribute and we are continually looking into other products to offer via distribution relationships.

Although the cost of manufacturing drug tests in the United States is proving to be nearly cost prohibitive, we do believe there are opportunities to capitalize on our US-based lateral flow manufacturing capabilities; specifically for small to mid-size diagnostic firms that require high quality manufacturing; especially given the current challenges with getting imports into the United States.

The manufacturing inefficiencies are increasingcontinued to increase despite our efforts to mitigate them. We areEfforts were also taking steps to obtain materials at the best available pricing. However, in many cases, we are purchasing at much lower volumes than the larger diagnostic companies and that results in higher per piece pricing. We are currently looking into possible production alternatives in attempts to address these fixed costs.

From August 2013 until June 2020 and from April 2022 through the date of this report, we maintained a salary deferral program for our sole executive officer, our Chief Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer Melissa Waterhouse. The salary deferral program was initiated by Ms. Waterhouse voluntarily in both August 2013 and April 2022. Another member of senior management participated in the voluntary 2013 program until his retirement in November 2019. After the member of senior management retired, we agreed to make payments on the deferred compensation (i.e. deferred salary) owed to this individual. In the six months ended June 30, 2021,First Quarter of 2022, we made payments totaling $22,000 to this individual and his deferred compensation was paid in full in May 2021.

Once the deferred compensation was paid in full to this individual in May 2021, we began todid make payments at the same rate to Ms. Waterhouse given the length of time the amount had been owed and that Ms. Waterhouse had not received any payments on her deferred compensation since August 2017. We made payments totaling $10,000 to Ms. Waterhouse in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $5,000 in payments in the six months ended June 30, 2021.$10,000. We stopped making payments on Ms. Waterhouse’s deferred compensation in April 2022 when Ms. Waterhouse again voluntarily deferred her salary by 20%. This deferral remained in place through February 28, 2023.

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had deferred compensation owed to Ms. Waterhouse in the amount of $71,000$92,000 and $6,000$7,000 in payroll taxes that are due as payments are made to Ms. Waterhouse; for a total of $77,000$99,000 in deferred compensation owed to Ms. Waterhouse. In addition, as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we oweowed Ms. Waterhouse $16,000$32,000 in current salary that was not paid. (See Note M – Subsequent Events for updated information on the currently salary owed to Ms. Waterhouse)

 

Beginning in April 2022, another member of senior management participated in the salary deferral program. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had deferred compensation owed to this individual in the amount of $4,000$14,000 and $1,000 in payroll taxes that are due as payments are made to this individual; for a total of $5,000$15,000 in deferred compensation. This individual ceased participating in the salary deferral program on December 9, 2022 and received their full salary through February 28, 2023 (the closing date of the Asset Sale to Healgen).

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022First Quarter 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021First Quarter 2022

 

NET SALES:Net sales for six months ended June 30, 2022the First Quarter 2023 decreased by $559,000, or 51.1%,53.3% when compared to net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2021;First Quarter 2022 primarily as a result in a decline in sales of drugs of abuse (“DOA”) teststest that we manufacture.manufacture and the fact that our last product sale was recorded on February 28, 2023. The decline in DOA sales stems almost entirely from decreased sales to our largest customer who has historically been a significant portion of our revenues. This customer hashad two segments of their business for which we supplysupplied products. They informed us in February 2022 that sales to one of those segments (which we supplied exclusively) would decrease as a result of their desire to have multiple vendors supplying the segment. They indicated this was to ensure uninterrupted supply as they had experienced periodic supply interruptions with us in 2021 (as a result of the supply chain issues we experienced in 2021 and continuecontinued to experience into 2022; particularly with plastics and other materials that are used to manufacture our drug tests; materials that are also used in the manufacture of lateral flow Covid-19 tests)2022). They indicated that the other segment we supply would remain unchanged but, even in that particular segment; we saw a decline in sales when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022 with the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition to the decline in sales to this customer, international sales also declined; some of which is due to a backorder at June 30, 2022.

Partially offsetting these declines are increased contract manufacturing sales; primarily in sales of our private labeled RSV test and increased distribution sales; most of which is due to increased sales of the lower cost DOA tests we are selling. Sales of Rapid Antigen Covid-19 tests slightly increased when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022 with the six months ended June 30, 2021; to $42,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $36,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. However, given the continued downward trend of pricing of these tests in the market and the fact that we are distributing these tests (which requires further markup); we believe that sales of Covid-19 tests will not have a significant impact on our sales going forward.

GROSS (LOSS) / PROFIT:For the first time in our operating history, we recorded a gross loss in the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $(45,000); this is compared to gross profit of $241,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit began to dramatically decline in the first quarter of 2022 and further declined in the second quarter of 2022 due to even further reduced sales. This change to a gross (loss) from a gross profit is almost entirely due to decreased sales to our largest customer in one of their segments (previously discussed in net sales). The two segments we were supplying were comprised of one with low margin sales and one with higher margin sales. This allowed the Company to maintain an appropriate blended gross profit margin on the sales to the customer. The segment in which sales have decreased significantly is the segment in which products were sold at a higher profit margin and this has significantly reduced the blended gross profit margin on the account. At the same time, this decline in sales has resulted in greater inefficiencies in manufacturing. Manufacturing inefficiencies occur when production levels decrease but, not all costs can be reduced to be in line with production levels because they are fixed; these costs include but, are not limited to, depreciation, insurance, interest, taxes, utilities and other costs associated with running our two facilities.

We have taken stepsGROSS PROFIT:Gross profit increased to reduce manufacturing costs, including but not limited45.1% of net sales in the First Quarter 2023 from 8% of net sales in the First Quarter 2022. This increase in gross profit stems from the timing of the closing of the Asset Sale to costs associated with labor, to mitigate these inefficiencies; however, the previously discussed fixed costs cannot easily be decreased.

Salary expense was reduced slightly due to timingFirst Quarter 2022. FDA compliance costs (the cost of pay periods. This slight decreasefacility registrations and their timing) were the primary cause of the increase. The increase was partially offset by an increase in utility costs in our New Jersey facility.

Selling and marketing

 

Selling and marketing expense in the six months ended June 30, 2022First Quarter 2023 decreased 46.5%52.4% when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.First Quarter 2022. Reductions in sales salary expense and benefits (due to the terminationclosing of personnel for performance reasons as well as an employee departure), reductions inthe Asset Sale to Healgen on February 28, 2023) offset by increased costs associated with shipping and promotional expense (due to the six months ended June 30, 2021 including fees paid to OTC Markets) were the primary reason for the decline in expenses. All other expenses remained relatively consistent when comparing the two six month periods.

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we continued selling and marketing efforts related to the drug tests we manufacture and we promoted lower cost alternatives for onsite drug testing via distribution relationships. We also marketed and sold rapid Covid-19 tests via distribution relationships. These offerings did not result in increased selling and marketing expenses when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2022 with the six months ended June 30, 2021. Terminations of sales personnel have been due to poor performance. While we have taken efforts to increase the size of our sales team to further penetrate our markets; no new sales reps were hired in the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to lack of qualified candidates. We continue to look for contract manufacturing opportunities or situations in which we can leverage our U.S. based manufacturing operations.

 

General and administrative (“G&A”)

 

G&A expense decreased 36.1%19.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 whenFirst Quarter 2023 compared to the First Quarter 2022. G&A salary expense in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary reason for the decline is that the six months ended June 30, 2022 did not include any fees associated with our loans with Cherokee while the six months ended June 30, 2022 includedand benefits (related to purchasing, warehouse, quality assurance and administrative personnel) decreased as a total of $148,000 in fees incurred in connection with a penalty related to extensionresult of the Cherokee loans inclosing of the Asset Sale to Healgen on February 2021.

In addition, quality assurance salaries declined (due to retirement of an employee, departure of another employee as well as a reduced work week implemented early in April 2022), general and administrative salaries and benefits declined (due to fewer employees and28, 2023. Consulting fees also decreased when comparing the reduced work week implemented in April 2022), accounting fees declined (due to lower costs from our new accounting firm), and patent fees declined (due to less international patent maintenance fees paid), along with other smaller declines in other expenses.two periods. These declines were partially offset by increased consultingcosts associated with the Asset Sale to Healgen (legal fees, (due to the execution of the Financial Advisory Agreement with Landmark Pegasus, Inc. in the six months ended June 30, 2022), increased transfer agent expensetaxes, and repairs and maintenance.insurance). There was no expense related to share based payments in either the six months ended June 30, 2022First Quarter 2023 or the six months ended June 30, 2021.First Quarter 2022.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSEOther income / (expense):

Other income in the First Quarter 2023 consisted of other income of $3,035,000 (which is the $3,000,000 purchase price paid for the Company’s assets and $35,000 in amounts reimbursed by Healgen in connection with the Asset Sale; pro-rated real estate taxes and payment of 50% of the payout related to employee vacation expense). This income was offset by a loss on the sale of assets ($921,000) and interest expense associated with our debt.

Other expense of $99,000 in the six months ended June 30,First Quarter 2022 consisted of interest expense associated with our credit facilities (our (now former) line of credit with Crestmark Bank, our two loans with Cherokee Financial, LLC and shareholder loans) and interest income of $1,000 for interest received in connection with the ERC refund we received in June 2022. Other expense of $46,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 consisted of interest expense associated with our credit facilities (the same facilities indicated for the six months ended June 30, 2022) which was offset by other income of $50,000 related to certain non-refundable prepayments (customer deposits) that were forfeited when the customer did not remit the remaining amounts due on the order.

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021

NET SALES:Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 65%, when compared to net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily as a result in a decline in sales of DOA tests that we manufacture.

The decline in DOA sales stems almost entirely from decreased sales to our largest customer who has historically been a significant portion of our revenues. This customer has two segments of their business for which we supply products. They informed us in February 2022 that sales to one of those segments (which we supplied exclusively) would decrease as a result of their desire to have multiple vendors supplying the segment. They indicated this was to ensure uninterrupted supply as they had experienced periodic supply interruptions with us in 2021 (as a result of the supply chain issues we experienced in 2021 and continue to experience into 2022; particularly with plastics and other materials that are used to manufacture our drug tests; materials that are also used in the manufacture of lateral flow Covid-19 tests). They indicated that the other segment we supply would remain unchanged but, even in that particular segment; we saw a decline in sales when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2022 with the three months ended June 30, 2021. In addition to the decline in sales to this customer, international sales also declined; some of which is due to a backorder at June 30, 2022.

Partially offsetting these declines are increased contract manufacturing sales; primarily in sales of our private labeled RSV test and increased distribution sales; most of which is due to increased sales of the lower cost DOA tests we are selling. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, we did not have sales of Covid-19 tests and in the three months ended June 30, 2021 we only had $1,000 in Covid-19 test sales. Market pricing of Covid-19 tests has continued to decline over the last several months. Going forward, this will make it difficult for the Company to sell these tests given we are only distributing them (which requires further mark up to customers), therefore, we believe that sales of Covid-19 tests will not have a significant impact on our sales going forward.

GROSS (LOSS) / PROFIT:

For the first time in our operating history, we recorded a gross loss in the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $(73,000); this is compared to gross profit of $136,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit began to dramatically decline in the first quarter of 2022 and further declined in the second quarter of 2022 due to even further reduced sales. This change to a gross (loss) from a gross profit is almost entirely due to decreased sales to our largest customer in one of their segments (previously discussed in net sales). The two segments we were supplying were comprised of one with low margin sales and one with higher margin sales. This allowed the Company to maintain an appropriate blended gross profit margin on the sales to the customer. The segment in which sales have decreased significantly is the segment in which products were sold at a higher profit margin and this has significantly reduced the blended gross profit margin on the account. At the same time, this decline in sales has resulted in greater inefficiencies in manufacturing. Manufacturing inefficiencies occur when production levels decrease but, not all costs can be reduced to be in line with production levels because they are fixed; these costs include but, are not limited to, depreciation, insurance, interest, taxes, utilities and other costs associated with running our two facilities.

We have taken steps to reduce manufacturing costs, including but not limited to, costs associated with labor, to mitigate these inefficiencies; however, the previously discussed fixed costs are not able to be decreased. Given the price sensitivity in our markets and the commoditized nature of drug testing products increasing, customer pricing is challenging; however, we did implement a price increase to non-contractual customers in July 2021 however, the customer previously discussed has a contracted price in place that is not as easily increased.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses decreased 27.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Expenses in all operating expense divisions decreased. More specifically:

Research and development (“R&D”)

R&D expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 14.3% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Salary expense decreased due to timing of pay periods. This decrease was nominally offset by an increase in utility costs in our New Jersey facility. All other expenses remained relatively consistent when comparing the two three-month periods.

Selling and marketing

Selling and marketing expense in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 43.1% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Reductions in sales salary expense and benefits (due to the termination of personnel for performance reasons as well as an employee departure) along with a reduction in promotional expense (due to the six months ended June 30, 2021 including fees paid to OTC Markets) were the primary reasons for the decline in expenses. These reductions were partially offset by increased costs associated with shipping.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE:

Other expense of $51,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of interest expense associated with our credit facilities (our line of credit, our two loans with Cherokee Financial, LLC and shareholder loans) and interest income of $1,000 for interest received in connection with the ERC refund we received in June 2022. Other income of $1,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 consisted of other income of $50,000 related to certain non-refundable prepayments (customer deposits) that were forfeited when the customer did not remit the remaining amounts due on the order which was almost entirely offset by interest expense associated with our credit facilities (our line of credit, our two loans with Cherokee Financial, LLC and a shareholder loan.shareholders).

On December 19, 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Healgen, pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to the approval of its shareholders, to sell substantially all of our operating assets (excluding cash, accounts receivables arising prior to the closing date, and certain other assets). On February 15, 2023, we held the 2023 Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) at our corporate offices in Kinderhook, New York, at which a quorum (27,863,899 shares of common stock of the 47,098,476 shares of common stock outstanding) was present in person or represented by proxy. Approval of the Asset Sale to Healgen required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (par value $0.01) and 26,381,832, or 54.84% of the total outstanding shares of the Company, voted in favor of the Asset Sale to Healgen.

On February 28, 2023, we completed the Asset Sale to Healgen and disposition of substantially all of our assets. In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale to Healgen, and in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Healgen paid an aggregate purchase price of $3 million (“Purchase Price”). $300,000 of the Purchase Price is being held back in a retention fund to cover potential indemnification claims during the six months following the close.

Debt

 

Our loan and security agreement and 2019 Term Note with Cherokee for $1,000,000 and $240,000, respectively, expired on February 15, 2022. On June 14, 2022, Cherokee agreed that they would defer the principal amounts due under the Cherokee LSA until February 15, 2023 and that any applicable penalties would also be deferred as long as the Company remainswe remained current on the quarterly interest payments. Furthermore, any penalties will also be waived ifWe used proceeds from the principal amounts are paidAsset Sale to Healgen to pay off the Cherokee facilities on or prior to February 15,28, 2023.

 

We do not expect cash from operations withinThroughout most of the next 12 months to be sufficient to pay the amounts due under these credit facilities, which are due in full on February 15, 2023. Given this, we will be required to refinance the facilities either via a new debt facility or raising capital through some other means. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that we will be able to complete financing on satisfactory terms, if at all or that we would be able to raise capital via other means.

Throughout the six monthsyear ended June 30,December 31, 2022, we had a line of credit with Crestmark Bank. The maximum availabilityOn September 29, 2022, using proceeds from the Healgen Loan, we made a payment to Crestmark Bank in the amount of $34,000 which paid off the balance on the lineCrestmark LOC. The payoff of credit is $1,000,000. However, because the amount available under the lineCrestmark Line of credit is based upon our accounts receivable, the amounts actually available under our line of credit (historically) have been significantly less than the maximum availability. When sales levels decline, we have reduced availability on our line of credit due to decreased accounts receivable balances. As of June 30, 2022, based on our availability calculation, there were no additional amounts available under the line of credit because we draw any balance available on a daily basis. The Crestmark line of credit automatically renewed on June 22, 2022 for another one year term, or until June 22, 2023.

If availability under our line of credit (from sales) and/or cash received as refunds under the ERC program are not sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, we will be required to seek additional credit facilities or sell additional equity securities, or delay capital expenditures which could have a material adverse effect on our business. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that we will be able to complete financing on satisfactory terms, if at all.Credit resulted in lower interest costs.

Working Capital Deficit

 

At June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we were operating at a working capital deficit of $2,220,000.$458,000. This compares to a working capital deficit of $1,484,000$2,833,000 at December 31, 2021.2022. The increaseimprovement in the working capital deficit is primarily due to declinethe payment of debt with the proceeds from the Asset Sale to Healgen and the retention fund receivable in cash balances and accounts receivable (dueconnection with the Asset Sale to decreased sales) along with increased debt facilities that are short-term facilities.Healgen. We have historically satisfied working capital requirements through cash from operations, bank debt and equity financings.

 

Dividends

 

We have never paid any dividends on our common shares and anticipate that all future earnings, if any, will be retained for use in our business, and therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.

 

Cash Flow, Outlook/Risk

In the First Quarter 2023, we had net income of $1,881,000 and net cash used in operating activities of $363,000. Our cash position increased to $68,000 at March 31, 2023 from $34,000 at December 31, 2022.

Over the last several years and through February 28, 2023 (the closing date of the Asset Sale to Healgen), we decreased cash requirements by implementing cost cutting initiatives. This included expense reductions in selling and marketing (which included reduced and deferred salaries of a number of employees) and no additional contributions in research and development to develop new products. Such reductions, although necessary to maintain operations, were not compatible with growing or even maintaining our business both in the short and the long term. Our cash position has deteriorated, and continued to deteriorate, due to gross losses, fixed labor and overhead costs and payments required under our debt facilities.

We believed the losses we reported over the last several years and most recently the significant loss reported for in the year ended December 31, 2022 would continue as (i) our primary business (onsite drugs of abuse tests) has become a commoditized market and we cannot compete with the low pricing offered by our competitors who manufacture outside of the U.S. and (ii) we have not been able to obtain new business to replace the significant loss of business from our largest customer.

Cash Flow, Outlook/Risk

InOver the six months ended June 30, 2022,last several years, we had a net loss of $779,000have been able to access loans from shareholders and net cash used in operating activities of $82,000.

Our cash position decreasedraise funds via private equity financings. As time went on and the financial results continued to $2,000 at June 30, 2022 from $115,000 at December 31, 2021 and $30,000 at June 30, 2021. Cash at December 31, 2021 was positively impacted by an ERC refund in December 2021 (in the amount of $137,000). We did receive an ERC refund in the amount of $198,000 in early June 2022; however, the cash was used rather quickly to make debt payments, Cherokee interest payments and other outstanding amounts due. In the year ending December 31, 2022, we are expecting one more ERC refund in the amount of $202,000

In February 2022 wedeteriorate, these options were informed by our largest customer that sales to one of their segments (which we supplied exclusively) would decrease as a result of their desire to have multiple vendors supplying the segment. This decrease in sales to the one segment of their businessno longer available. Ms. Waterhouse also negatively impacts gross profit as this segment is the more profitable segment from a margin perspective. This has resulted in less profitextended loans to the Company which is negatively impacting cash flows. While the Covid-19 pandemic is seemingly winding down, we continue to be impacted by it in the form of material delays and cost increases (in both manufacturing and other business costs).deferred her salary.

 

The extentGiven the above, on December 19, 2022, we agreed, subject to which the pandemic and the commoditized natureapproval of our markets will continueshareholders, to impact our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are still uncertain and cannot be predicted. Current levels of sales declines are impacting our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to access the capital markets may also be limited. Prior to the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2021, we were able to utilize the Lincoln Park Equity Line; however, the downturnsell substantially all of our common stock starting inoperating assets to Healgen (excluding cash, accounts receivables and certain other assets). We closed on the third quarter of 2021 has prevented any further salesAsset Sale to be initiated.

Our ability to repay our current debt and other liabilities may also be affected by general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, legal, business and other factors beyond our control, including those discussed herein. Given the current state of our business and the current stock price, it is unlikely we will be able to facilitate purchases under our Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park in the near future. If we are unable to meet our credit facility obligations we will be required to raise money through new equity and/or debt financing(s) and, there is no assurance that we would be able to find new financing, or that any new financing would be at favorable terms.

We will continue to take steps to ensure that operating expenses remain in line with sales levels and make every effort to control manufacturing costs, although as previously discussed herein; certain overhead costs are fixed and cannot be reduced to be in line with sales levels. We have consolidated job responsibilities in multiple areas of the Company and this has enabled us to implement personnel reductions. We are also promoting new products and service offerings to diversify our revenue stream.

If we are forced to refinance our debtHealgen on less favorable terms, our results of operations and financial condition would be further adversely affected by increased costs and rates. There is also no assurance that we could obtain alternative debt facilities. We may also be forced to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as restructuring, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital expenditures or seeking additional equity capital. There can be no assurances that any of these strategies could be implemented on satisfactory terms, if at all.

If events and circumstances occur such that 1) we do not meet our current operating plans to increase sales, 2) we are unable to raise sufficient additional equity or debt financing, 3) we are unable to effect sales under the Lincoln Park Equity Line, 4) we are unable to utilize equity as a form of payment in lieu of cash or 5) our credit facilities are insufficient or not available, we may be required to further reduce expenses or take other steps which could have a material adverse effect on our future performance including reducing or terminating operations.February 28, 2023.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The followingThere have been no material changes to our risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 are being revised in connection with the results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and recent developments related to our debt obligations. Any risk factors not appearing within this section remain unchanged from the disclosure in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Risks Related to our Financial Condition

We have a history of incurring net losses. As of December 31, 2021, we have a stockholders’ deficit and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we have a gross loss.

Since our inception and throughout most of our history, we have incurred net losses, including but not limited to, a net loss of $463,000 incurred in Fiscal 2021. As of December 31, 2021, we also reported negative stockholders’ equity of $944,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the first time in our operating history, we have gross losses of $73,000 and $45,000, respectively. We incur substantial expenditures for sales and marketing, general and administrative and research and development purposes. Our ability to achieve profitability in the future will primarily depend on our ability to increase sales of our products. Stockholders’ equity improvement will also be dependent on our ability to increase sales which will increase the value of our assets and decrease our liabilities. Future profitability is also dependent on our ability to reduce manufacturing costs. However, some manufacturing costs are fixed and cannot be reduced. There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our revenues at a rate that equals or exceeds expenditures which will enable us to manufacture products in sufficient quantities to absorb the expenditures, including but not limited to fixed overhead expenditures. Our failure to increase sales while controlling sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development costs (relative to sales) would result in additional losses and/or the reduction or termination of operations.

Our inability to comply with our debt obligations could result in our creditors declaring all amounts owed to them due and payable with immediate effect, or result in the collection of collateral by the creditor, both of which would have an adverse material impact on our business and our ability to continue operations.

We have a credit facility with Crestmark Bank consisting of a revolving line of credit (the “Crestmark LOC”). The Crestmark LOC is secured by a first security interest in all of our receivables and inventory and security interest in all other assets of the Company (in accordance with permitted prior encumbrances), (together the “Collateral”).

In addition to the Crestmark LOC, we have a loan and security agreement with Cherokee Financial, LLC. (“Cherokee”) which is secured by a first security interest in our real estate and machinery and equipment. We also have an unsecured term loan with Cherokee. We also have a number of smaller loans with individuals.

In addition to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory, business and other factors beyond our control, our ability to make payments to our creditors will depend primarily upon our future operating performance; which has been negatively impacted by the loss of material contracts, the increased price competition in our core markets for drug testing and the continued negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on some of our drug testing markets.

A failure to repay any of our debt obligations could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the Company being required to pay much higher costs associated with the indebtedness and/or enable our creditors to declare all amounts owed to them due and payable with immediate effect. In fact, in February 2021, with the extension of the loans until February 2022, Cherokee imposed penalties in the amount of $120,000 in response to our inability to pay back our facilities along with increasing the interest rate on our larger facility from 8% to 10%. In February 2022, we did not repay the Cherokee loans.

On June 14, 2022, Cherokee agreed that they would defer the principal amounts due under the Cherokee LSA and the 2019 Term Loan with Cherokee until February 15, 2023 and that any applicable penalties would also be deferred as long as we remain current on the quarterly interest payments. Furthermore, any penalties will also be waived if the principal amounts are paid on or prior to February 15, 2023.

If we are forced to refinance our debt on less favorable terms, our results of operations and financial condition would be further adversely affected by increased costs and rates. We may also be forced to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as restructuring, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital expenditures or seeking additional equity capital. There can be no assurances that any of these strategies could be implemented on satisfactory terms, if at all, or that future borrowings or equity financing would be available for the payment of any indebtedness we may have. In addition, in an event of default, our creditors could begin proceedings to collect the collateral securing the debt. This would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue operations.

We may need additional funding for our existing and future operations.

Our financial statements for Fiscal 2021 were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. If sales continue to decline, our current cash balances and cash generated from future operations will not be sufficient to fund operations through August 2023. Future events, including the expenses and difficulties which may be encountered in maintaining a market for our products could make cash on hand and cash available under our line of credit facility insufficient to fund operations. If this happens, we may be required to sell equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. There can be no assurance that any of these financings will be available or that we will be able to complete such financing on satisfactory terms. Should additional financing not be available, we may be required to reduce or terminate operations.

One of our customers accounted for more than 50% of our total net sales in Fiscal 2021.

One of our customers accounted for 57.5% and 35.2% of our net sales in Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively. We currently have a contract in place with this long-standing customer that does not expire in the near future. However, in February 2022, the customer informed us that sales to one of their business segments (which we supplied exclusively) would decrease as a result of their desire to have multiple vendors supplying the segment. They indicated this was to ensure uninterrupted supply. They indicated that the other segment we supply would remain unchanged but, even in that particular segment; however, even in that segment, we are seeing declines in sales when comparing sales so far in 2022 to sales during the same period in 2022. There can be no assurance that this customer will stop ordering products from us completely, or that any of our current customers will continue to place orders, or that orders by existing customers will continue at current or historical levels.
