BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of CytoSorbents Corporation (the “Parent”), CytoSorbents Medical Inc., its wholly-owned operating subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), and CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, its wholly-owned European subsidiary (the “European Subsidiary”). In addition, the consolidated financial statements include CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH and CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o., wholly owned subsidiaries of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, and CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. These entities are collectively referred to as “the Company”. In years prior to December 31, 2020, the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. On July 24, 2020, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 6,052,631 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $9.50 per share (the “Offering”). Gross proceeds from the Offering amounted to approximately $57.5 million and, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses related to the Offering, the Company received total net proceeds of approximately $53.8 million. See Note 11. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $71.4 million, which the Company expects will fund the Company’s operations well beyond the next twelve months. As a result, the Company has determined that the going concern risk has been substantially mitigated. |

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: | |
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: | 2. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Nature of Business The Company is a leader in critical care immunotherapy using blood purification technology to treat deadly inflammation in critically-ill and cardiac surgery patients around the world. The Company, through its subsidiary CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. (formerly known as CytoSorbents, Inc.), is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of medical devices with its blood purification technology platform which incorporates a proprietary adsorbent, porous polymer technology. The Company, through its wholly owned European subsidiary, CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, conducts sales and marketing related operations for the CytoSorb device. In March 2016, the Company formed CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the second quarter of 2016, provides marketing and direct sales services in Switzerland. In November 2018, the Company formed CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the first quarter of 2019, provides marketing and direct sales services in Poland. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company formed CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. which is responsible for the management of our clinical trial activities in the United Kingdom. CytoSorb, the Company's flagship product, was approved in the European Union (“EU”) in March 2011, and is currently being marketed and distributed in sixty-seven countries around the world, as a safe and effective extracorporeal cytokine absorber, designed to reduce the “cytokine storm” that could otherwise cause massive inflammation, organ failure and death in common critical illnesses such as sepsis, burn injury, trauma, lung injury, and pancreatitis. In May 2018, the Company received a label extension for CytoSorb covering use of the device for the removal of bilirubin and myoglobin which allows for the use of the device in the treatment of liver failure and trauma, respectively. CytoSorb is also being used during and after cardiac surgery to remove inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and free hemoglobin, which can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. In January 2020, CytoSorb received European Union CE Mark label expansion to include the removal of ticagrelor during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. In May 2020, CytoSorb also received European Union CE Mark label expansion to include rivaroxaban removal for the same indication. In April 2020, the Company announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) granted Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) of CytoSorb for use in critically-ill patients infected with COVID-19. Under the EUA, the Company can make CytoSorb available, through commercial sales, to all hospitals in the United States for use in patients, 18 years of age or older, with confirmed COVID-19 infection who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with confirmed or imminent respiratory failure who have early acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe disease, or life-threatening illness resulting in respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure. The CytoSorb device has neither been cleared nor approved for the indication to treat patients with COVID-19 infection. The EUA will be effective until a declaration is made that the circumstances justifying the EUA have terminated or until revoked by the FDA. In April 2020, the Company also announced that the FDA had granted Breakthrough Designation to CytoSorb for the removal of ticagrelor in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during emergent and urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Breakthrough Devices Program provides for more effective treatment of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating disease or conditions, in this case the need to reverse the effects of ticagrelor in emergent or urgent cardiac surgery that can otherwise cause a high risk of serious or life-threatening bleeding. Through Breakthrough Designation, the FDA intends to work with CytoSorbents to expedite the development, assessment, and regulatory review of CytoSorb for the removal of ticagrelor, while maintaining statutory standards of regulatory approval (e.g., 510(k), de novo The technology is based upon biocompatible, highly porous polymer sorbent beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. The Company has numerous products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology, which is protected by 16 issued U.S. patents and multiple international patents, with applications pending both in the U.S. and internationally, including HemoDefend, ContrastSorb, DrugSorb, and others. These patents and patent applications are directed to various compositions and methods of use related to our blood purification technologies and are expected to expire between 2021 and 2035, absent any patent term extensions. Management believes that any near-term expiring patents will not have a significant impact on our ongoing business. Stock Market Listing On December 17, 2014 the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), and it began trading on Nasdaq on December 23, 2014 under the symbol “CTSO”. Previously, the Company’s common stock traded in the over-the-counter-market on the OTC Bulletin Board. Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CytoSorbents Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. and CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH and CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o., wholly owned subsidiaries of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, and CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Translation gains and losses resulting from the process of remeasuring into the United States of America dollar, the foreign currency financial statements of the European subsidiary, for which the United States of America dollar is the functional currency, are included in operations. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss) included in net loss amounted to approximately $2,607,000, $(350,000) and $(785,000) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company translates assets and liabilities of the European subsidiary, whose functional currency is their local currency, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The Company translates revenue and expenses at the daily average exchange rates. The Company includes accumulated net translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholder’s equity. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Grants and Accounts Receivable Grants receivable represent amounts due from U.S. government agencies and are included in Grants and Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are unsecured, non-interest bearing customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its devices to various hospitals and distributors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to determine collectability. Balances that are determined to be uncollectible are reserved for to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a first-in first-out (“FIFO”) basis. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s inventory was comprised of finished goods, which amounted to $1,164,635 and $305,452, respectively, work in process which amounted to $1,222,062 and $1,523,923, respectively and raw materials which amounted to $287,102 and $284,522, respectively. Devices used in clinical trials or for research and development purposes are removed from inventory and charged to research and development expenses at the time of their use. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their economic useful lives or the term of the related leases. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statements of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Patents Legal costs incurred to establish patents are capitalized. When patents are issued, capitalized costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the related patent term. In the event a patent is abandoned, the net book value of the patent is written off. Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the impairment of patents and other long-lived assets under accounting standards for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Revenue Recognition Product Sales: Grant Revenue : Research and Development All research and development costs, payments to laboratories, research consultants and costs related to clinical trials and studies are expensed when incurred. Advertising Expenses Advertising costs are charged to activities when incurred. Advertising expense amounted to approximately $285,000, $314,000 and $212,000 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by accounting standards for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code the net operating losses generated prior to the previously completed reverse merger may be limited due to the change in ownership. Additionally, net operating losses generated subsequent to the reverse merger may be limited in the event of changes in ownership. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. See Note 9 for the impact of the tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company follows the accounting standards associated with uncertain tax provisions. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020 or 2019. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. The Company utilizes the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell a portion of its New Jersey Net Operating Loss tax carryforwards and Research and Development credits to an industrial company. CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o. and CytoSorbents UK Limited files an annual corporate tax return, a VAT return and a trade tax return in Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the United Kingdom, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The valuation of options granted is a significant estimate in these consolidated financial statements. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions in an effort to minimize its collection risk of these balances. A significant portion of our revenues are from product sales in Germany. Substantially all of our grant and other income are from grant agencies in the United States. (See Note 3 for further information relating to the Company’s revenue.) As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no agency, distributor/strategic partners or direct customer represented more than 10%of outstanding grants and accounts receivables. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 no agency, distributor/strategic partners or direct customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Net Loss per Common Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the treasury stock method on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted shares. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (See Note 12). Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the recognition requirements of accounting standards for accounting for stock-based compensation for employees and directors whereby each option granted is valued at fair market value on the date of grant. Under these accounting standards, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company also follows the guidance of accounting standards for accounting for equity instruments that are issued to non-employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services for equity instruments issued to consultants. S The cost of shipping product to customers and distributors is typically borne by the customer or distributor. The Company records shipping and handling costs in cost of revenue. Total freight costs amounted to approximately $560,000, $476,000 and $424,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |

Both of these revenue streams are within the scope of this accounting pronouncement. The following is a brief description of each revenue stream. CytoSorb Sales The Company sells its CytoSorb device using both its own sales force (direct sales) and through the use of distributors and/or strategic partners. The majority of sales of the device are outside the United States, as CytoSorb is not yet approved for commercial sale in the United States. However, in April 2020, the Company was granted Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) of CytoSorb for use in critically-ill patients infected with COVID-19 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Direct sales outside the United States relate to sales to hospitals located in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Direct sales are fulfilled from the Company’s office in Berlin, Germany. There are no formal sales contracts with any direct customers relating to product price or minimum purchase requirements. However, there are agreements in place with certain direct customers that provide for either free of charge product or rebate credits based upon achieving minimum purchase levels. The Company records the value of these items earned as a reduction of revenue. These customers submit purchase orders and the order is fulfilled and shipped directly to the customer. Prices to all direct customers are based on a standard price list based on the packaged quantity (6 packs vs 12 packs). Distributor and strategic partner sales make up the remaining product sales. These distributors are located in various countries throughout the world. The Company has a formal written contract with each distributor/strategic partner. These contracts have terms ranging from 1-5 years in length, with three years being the typical term. In addition, certain distributors are eligible for volume discount pricing if their unit sales are in excess of the base amount in the contract. Most distributor’s/strategic partner’s contracts have minimum annual purchase requirements in order to maintain exclusivity in their respective territories. There is no additional consideration or monetary penalty that would be required to be paid to CytoSorbents if a distributor does not meet the minimum purchase commitments included in the contract, however, at the discretion of the Company, the distributor may lose its exclusive rights in the territory if such commitments are not met. Government Grants The Company has been the recipient of various grant contracts from various agencies of the United States government, primarily the Department of Defense, to perform various research and development activities. These contacts fall into one of the following categories: 1. Fixed price – the Company invoices the contract amount in equal installments over the term of the contract without regard to the timing of the costs incurred related to this contract. If billings on fixed price contracts exceed the costs incurred, revenue will be deferred to the extent of the excess billings. 2. Cost reimbursement – the Company submits monthly invoices during the term of the contract for the amount of direct costs incurred during that month plus an agreed percentage that relates to allowable overhead and general and administrative expenses. Cumulative amounts invoiced may not exceed the maximum amount of funding stipulated in the contract. 3. Cost plus – this type of contract is similar to a cost reimbursement contract but this type also allows for the Company to additionally invoice for a fee amount that is included in the contract. 4. Performance based - the Company submits invoices only upon the achievement of the milestones listed in the contract. The amount to be invoiced for each milestone is documented in the contract. In summary, the contracts the Company has with customers are the distributor/strategic partner contracts related to CytoSorb product sales, agreements with direct customers related to free-of-charge product and credit rebates based upon achieving minimum purchase levels, and contracts with various government agencies related to the Company’s grants. The Company does not currently incur any outside/third party incremental costs to obtain any of these contracts. The Company does incur internal costs, primarily salary related costs, to obtain the contracts related to the grants. Company employees spend time reviewing the program requirements and developing the budget and related proposal to submit to the grantor agency. There may additionally be travel expenditures involved with meeting with government agency officials during the negotiation of the contract. These internal costs are expensed as incurred. The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Contract receivables, which are included in accounts receivable $ 2,996,679 $ 2,246,821 Contract liabilities, which are included in expenses and other current liabilities $ 1,014,652 $ 171,842 Contract receivables represent balances due from sales to distributors and amounts invoiced on grant contracts. Contract liabilities represent the value of free of charge goods and credit rebates earned in accordance with the terms of certain direct customer agreements and deferred grant revenue related to the billing on fixed price contracts in excess of costs incurred as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. |

LONG-TERM DEBT: | |
LONG-TERM DEBT: | 7. LONG-TERM DEBT: On June 30, 2016, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. (together, the “Borrower”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank, (the “Bank”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed $10 million in two equal tranches of $5 million (the “Original Term Loans”). On March 29, 2018, the Original Term Loans were refinanced with the Bank pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between the Bank and the Borrower (the “Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), under which the Bank agreed to loan the Borrower up to an aggregate of $15 million to be disbursed in two tranches (1) one tranche of $10 million (the “Term A Loan”), which was funded on the Closing Date and used to refinance the Original Term Loans, and (2) a second tranche of $5 million which may be disbursed at the Borrower’s sole request prior to March 31, 2019 provided certain conditions are met (the “Term B Loan” and together with the Term A Loan, the “Term Loans”). On July 31, 2019, the Borrower entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "First Amendment") with the Bank, which amended certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and the 2018 Success Fee Letter (the "2018 Letter"). In connection with the execution of the First Amendment, the draw period for the Term B Loan was extended to August 15, 2019 and the Company drew down the full $5.0 million Term B Loan on the Settlement Date, bringing the total outstanding debt to $15 million at July 31, 2019. The proceeds of Term Loans were used for general business requirements in accordance with the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. On December 4, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company closed on the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) of its Amended Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of its existing $15 million term loans and simultaneously received a commitment from Bridge Bank to provide a new term loan of $15 million (the “New Term Loan”), if needed. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, the Company may, at its sole discretion, draw down the New Term Loan at any time over the next twelve months. The New Term Loan, if drawn, shall bear interest at the Index Rate (defined in the Amendment as the greater of 3.25% or the Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal on the last business date of the month the immediately preceding the month in which the interest will accrue) plus 1.25%. In addition, the Company would be required to make payments of interest-only commencing on the first day of the month after the New Term Loan was made until January 2023. The interest-only period may be further extended through July 2023 if the Company maintains compliance certain conditions as outlined in the Amendment. Following the interest-only period, the Company will be required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest until maturity of the New Term Loan. The maturity date of the New Term Loan is December 1, 2024. On the Closing Date, the Company was required to pay a non-refundable closing fee of $75,000. As of the Closing Date, the total unamortized loan costs related to the Term Loans amounted to approximately $45,000. These costs were written off on the Closing Date as a charge to interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company recorded interest expense amounting to $76,718, $33,175, and $31,946, respectively related to these costs. In addition, the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement requires the Company to pay a non-refundable final fee equal to 2.5% of the principal amount of each Term Loan funded upon the earlier of the (i) April 1, 2022 maturity date or (ii) termination of the Term Loan via acceleration or prepayment. On the Closing Date, the Company paid a final fee of $375,000. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 the Company recorded interest expense of $246,095, $82,031 and $65,104, respectively, related to accrual and payment of the final fee. The Company’s and CytoSorbents Medical, Inc.’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement are joint and severable and are secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the Bank with respect to the Company’s Shares (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) and the Borrower’s Collateral (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which definition excludes the Borrower’s intellectual property and other customary exceptions). 2018 Success Fee Letter: Pursuant to the amended 2018 Letter, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a success fee in the amount equal to 6.37% of the funded amount of the Term B Loan (as defined in the Restated Loan and Security Agreement) (the "Success Fee”) upon the first occurrence of any of the following events: (a) a sale or other disposition by the Borrower of all or substantially all of its assets; (b) a merger or consolidation of the Borrower into or with another person or entity, where the holders of the Borrower’s outstanding voting equity securities as of immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than a majority of the issued and outstanding voting equity securities of the successor or surviving person or entity as of immediately following the consummation of such merger or consolidation; (c) a transaction or a series of related transactions in which any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of a sufficient number of shares of all classes of stock then outstanding of the Borrower ordinarily entitled to vote in the election of directors, empowering such “person” or “group” to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower, who did not have such power before such transaction; or (d) the closing price per share for the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market being the greater of (i) 70% or more over $7.05, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 29, 2018 (after giving effect to any stock splits or consolidations effected after the date thereof) for five Long-term debt consists of the following at December 31, 2020 and 2019 as follows: December 31, 2020 2019 Principal amount $ — $ 15,000,000 Less unamortized debt acquisition costs — (76,718) Plus accrued final fee — 128,906 Subtotal — 15,052,188 Less current maturities — 1,666,666 Long-term debt net of current maturities $ — $ 13,385,522 Payroll Protection Program: On April 13, 2020, the Company received approximately $1,411,000 in loan proceeds from the Payroll Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) of the United States government. This program was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). On April 29, 2020, following a reassessment of the Company’s financial and operating position, including cash on hand and access to public capital markets, the Company repaid the PPP loan. |

LEASES: | |
LEASES: | 8. LEASES: Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The provisions of this ASU require the Company to record a right-of-use asset and related lease liability related to their leases. The Company leases its operating facilities in both the United States and Germany under operating lease agreements. In the United States, in May 2020, the Company entered into a Nineteenth Amendment to Lease with the landlord which became effective May 1, 2020. This amendment expands the Company's space to 20,821 square feet and extends the term of the lease to May 31, 2021. The Company's base rent is approximately $34,000 per month. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay monthly operating expenses of approximately $30,000 per month. The amendment also includes a one year renewal option. The base rent for the renewal term will increase by the greater of five percent or the increase in the Consumer Price Index. There were no lease incentives and no initial direct costs were incurred related to this lease amendment. In Germany, the Company leases its operating facility under two operating lease agreements. These leases require combined base rent payments amounting to approximately $9,000 per month. The initial lease term of both leases ends August 31, 2021. In addition, the Company is obligated to monthly operating expenses of approximately $2,900 per month. Both leases have a five year option to renew that would extend the lease term to August 31, 2026. There are no provisions in the leases to increase the base rent during the renewal period. There were no lease incentives and no initial direct costs were incurred related to these leases. Right-Of-Use Asset and Lease Liability: The Company's consolidated balance sheets reflect the value of the right-of-use asset and related lease liability. This value was calculated based on the present value of the remaining base rent lease payments. The remaining lease payments include the renewal periods for both facilities as the Company has determined that it is probable that the renewal options will be exercised under each of the lease agreements. The discount rate used was the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which is 9.16%, as the Company could not determine the rate implicit in the lease. As a result, the value of the right-of-use asset and related lease liability is as follows: December 31, 2020 2019 Right-of-use asset $ 1,029,123 $ 1,070,762 Total lease liability $ 1,029,123 $ 1,070,762 Less current portion (447,485) (428,083) Lease liability, net of current portion $ 581,638 $ 642,679 The maturities of the lease liabilities are as follows as of December 31, 2020: 2021 $ 447,485 2022 246,251 2023 80,642 2024 88,347 2025 96,788 Thereafter 69,610 Total $ 1,029,123 For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, operating cash flows paid in connection with operating leases amounted to approximately $937,000, $906,000 and $805,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the weighted average remaining lease term was 4.0 years, respectively. |

INCOME TAXES: | 9. INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 ("ASC 740"). Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company’s consolidated loss before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Domestic $ (5,682,628) $ (11,921,799) $ (14,105,664) Foreign (3,281,636) (8,436,291) (3,725,061) Total $ (8,964,262) $ (20,358,090) $ (17,830,725) The benefit from income taxes consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 State Tax, including sale of New Jersey losses & credits $ 1,127,074 $ 1,092,446 $ 619,546 Foreign tax provision — — — $ 1,127,074 $ 1,092,446 $ 619,546 As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal net operating loss ("NOL") carry forwards of approximately $72.8 million, state NOL carry forwards of approximately $5.0 million, and foreign NOL carry forwards of approximately $22.2 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal NOL carryforwards of $47.8 million, if not utilized, will expire between 2021 and 2037. The federal NOL carryforwards of $25.0 million generated since 2018 are subject to an 80% limitation on taxable income, do not expire and will carry forward indefinitely. The state NOL carryforwards of $5.0 million, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2039. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had Federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.2 million and $151,000, respectively, available to reduce future tax liabilities, which will begin to expire at various dates starting in 2022. The NOL carry forwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. The NOLs may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant shareholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state tax provisions. In addition to the new provisions enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, this could limit the amount of NOLs that the Company can utilize annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation, if any, will generally be determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. U.S. Tax Reform On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Legislation"), which made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax law. The Company expected that certain aspects of the Tax Reform Legislation will positively impact the Company’s future after-tax earnings in the U.S., primarily due to the lower federal statutory tax rate. Set forth below is a discussion of certain provisions of the Tax Reform Legislation and our preliminary assessment of the effect of such provisions on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and consolidated financial statements. Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company’s U.S. income, if any, is taxed at a 21 percent federal corporate rate. Further, the Company is required to recognize the effect of this rate change on our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the period the tax rate change is enacted. The Company does not expect any material non-cash impact from this rate change, with adjustments to deferred tax balances offset by adjustments to deferred tax valuation allowances. Further, the Tax Reform Legislation provides for a one-time “deemed repatriation” of accumulated foreign earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company did not pay U.S. federal cash taxes on the deemed repatriation due to an accumulated deficit in foreign earnings for tax purposes. The Company does not expect that our future foreign earnings will be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Reform Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. An accounting policy election is available to either account for the tax effects of GILTI in the period that is subject to such taxes or to provide deferred taxes for book and tax basis differences that upon reversal may be subject to such taxes. The Company has elected to account for the tax effects of this provision in the period that is subject to such tax. The Company concluded it was not subject to GILTI in 2019 and as such there was no impact from GILTI included in its 2019 provision. The Company does not expect to be subject to GILTI. However, in accordance with FASB guidance, the Company’s policy will be to recognize GILTI in the period it arises and it will not recognize a deferred charge with regard to GILTI. In addition, the Tax Reform Legislation provides for 100 percent bonus depreciation on tangible property expenditures through 2022. The bonus depreciation percentage is phased down from 100 percent beginning in 2023 through 2026. We do not expect this to have a material impact to the Company. Sale of Net Operating Losses (NOLs) The Company may be eligible, from time to time, to receive cash from the sale of its New Jersey Net Operating Losses and R&D tax credits under the State of New Jersey Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program. The Company will receive a net cash amount of approximately $1,127,000 from the approved sale of the 2019 state NOL and research and development credits in the first quarter of 2021. The principal components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carry forward $ 22,301,154 $ 20,843,902 $ 16,722,801 Stock options 305,982 329,726 349,810 Research and development credit carryforward 2,194,211 1,720,558 1,210,153 Accruals and others 135,330 56,461 (27,098) Lease liability 289,287 300,991 — Gross deferred tax assets 25,225,964 23,251,638 18,255,666 Less valuation allowance (24,794,474) (22,857,741) (18,233,810) 431,490 393,897 21,856 Deferred tax liability: Fixed assets (431,490) (393,897) (21,856) Net deferred tax assets $ — $ — $ — In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on this assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets for each period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The increases in valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $1,936,733, $4,623,931 and 4,806,456, respectively. A reconciliation of income tax (expense) benefit at the statutory federal income tax rate and income taxes as reflected in the financial statements is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State taxes, net of federal benefit (9.5) (4.4) (2.2) Foreign rate differential 3.3 3.7 1.9 Permanent items (2.0) (2.0) (2.9) Rate change and true-up 17.0 8.0 7.6 Change in valuation allowance (21.6) (22.7) (22.9) R&D credit 4.4 1.8 0.7 Effective income tax rate 12.6 % 5.4 % 3.2 % |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: | 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Customs Examination In October 2020, the Company received a notice from the German Customs Authorities that they would be conducting an audit of the Company’s import transactions for the years 2018 through 2020 in order to determine if any import taxes would be due. The audit commenced in early December 2020. The primary import activity of the Company is the importation of CytoSorb devices from the United States. The German Customs Authorities are challenging the Harmonized Code that the Company utilizes to import the CytoSorb devices into Germany. The code that has been utilized by the Company has zero import taxes associated with it. The German Customs Authorities have indicated that the Company’s device might be better classified under a different code which has a 1.7% tax attached to it. As part of the audit process, the Company has provided the German Customs Authorities with extensive information about the CytoSorb device, including data regarding the uses of the device, as well as the instructions for use. In addition, employees of the Company gave the auditors a technical presentation of the scientific properties of the device, focusing on it as an adsorber, as opposed to a filter. The German Customs Authority’s technical staff is currently reviewing this information. The audit process is on-going and the authorities have indicated it is expected to be completed by approximately March 31, 2021. The Company’s maximum potential exposure arising to the audit is approximately $732,000. Based on a thorough review of the facts, management believes that it is not probable that this contingency is likely to occur. Accordingly, no expense or related liability has been recorded in the Company’s December 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements related to this contingency. Employment Agreements On July 30, 2019, CytoSorbents Corporation entered into amended and restated executive employment agreements with its principal executives, Dr. Phillip P. Chan, Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Capponi, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Kathleen P. Bloch, Chief Financial Officer. Each of the agreements has an initial term of three years, and was retroactively effective as of January 1, 2019. On April 12, 2020, CytoSorbents Corporation entered into an executive employment agreement with Dr. Efthymios Deliargyris, who began employment as Chief Medical Officer on May 1, 2020, with an initial term that expires on December 31, 2021. After the expiration of the initial terms, the employment agreements will automatically renew for additional terms of one year unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to a renewal. The foregoing employment agreements each provide for base salary and other customary benefits which include participation in group insurance plans, paid time off and reimbursement of certain business-related expenses, including travel and continuing educational expenses, as well as bonus and/or equity awards at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, the agreements provide for certain termination benefits in the event of termination without “Cause” or voluntary termination of employment for “Good Reason”, as defined in each agreement. The agreements also provide for certain benefits in the event of a “Change of Control” of the Company, as defined in each agreement. Litigation The Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company intends to defend vigorously against any future claims and litigation. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings. Royalty Agreement Pursuant to an agreement dated August 11, 2003, an existing investor agreed to make a $4 million equity investment in the Company. These amounts were received by the Company in 2003. In connection with this agreement the Company granted the investor a future royalty of 3% on all gross revenues received by the Company from the sale of its CytoSorb device. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded royalty expenses of approximately $1,172,000, $675,000, and $600,000, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. License Agreement In an agreement dated September 1, 2006, the Company entered into a license agreement which provides the Company the exclusive right to use its patented technology and proprietary know how relating to adsorbent polymers for a period of 18 years. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to pay license fees of 2.5% to 5% on the sale of certain of its products if and when those products are sold commercially for a term not greater than 18 years commencing with the first sale of such product. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 per the terms of the license agreement, the Company recorded licensing expenses of approximately $1,954,000 $1,125,000 and $1,002,000, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |

There were no sales during the year ended December 31, 2019. Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC and B. Riley FBR, Inc. On July 9, 2019, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement (the “New Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC and B. Riley FBR, Inc. (each an “Agent” and, together, the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, at its option, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25 million through the Agents, as the Company’s sales agents. All shares of the Company’s common stock offered and sold, or to be offered and sold under the New Sale Agreement were or will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Shelf by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in block transactions or if specified by the Company, in privately negotiated transactions. On April 20, 2020, the Company and the Agents entered into an amendment to the New Sale Agreement (the “Amendment”) to provide for an increase in the aggregate offering amount under the New Sales Agreement, such that as of April 20, 2020, the Company may offer and sell Shares having an additional aggregate offering price of up to $50 million under the New Sale Agreement, as amended by the Amendment (the “Amended Sale Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Amended Sales Agreement, the Agents are required to use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal sales and trading practices to sell the shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company is required to pay the Agents a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the shares of the Company’s common stock sold thereunder, if any. The Company has also agreed to provide the Agents with customary indemnification rights. The offering of the shares of the Company’s common stock under the Amended Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (a) the sale of the maximum number or amount of the shares of the Company’s stock permitted to be sold under the Amended Sale Agreement and (b) the termination of the Amended Sale Agreement by the parties thereto. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold 191,244 shares pursuant to the Amended Sale Agreement, at an average selling price of $4.11 per share, generating net proceeds of approximately $762,000. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold 4,110,625 shares pursuant to the Amended Sale Agreement, at an average selling price of $6.64 per share, generating net proceeds of approximately $26.5 million.

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid approximately $49,000 in expenses related to the Amended Sale Agreement. Stock Option Plans As of December 31, 2020, the Company had two Long Term Incentive Plans (the “2014 Plan” and the “2006 Plan”) to attract, retain, and provide incentives to employees, officers, directors, and consultants. The Plans generally provide for the granting of stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, or any combination of the foregoing to eligible participants. A total of 13,400,000 and 2,400,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan and the 2006 Plan, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, there were shares remaining to purchase approximately 8,216,000 and 236,000 units of common stock reserved under the 2014 Plan and the 2006 Plan, respectively. The 2014 and 2006 Plans as well as grants issued outside of the Plan are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee is authorized to select from among eligible employees, directors, advisors and consultants those individuals to whom incentives are to be granted and to determine the number of shares to be subject to, and the terms and conditions of the options. The Compensation Committee is also authorized to prescribe, amend and rescind terms relating to options granted under the Plans. Generally, the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plans or any options granted hereunder is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The 2014 Plan provides that options may or may not be Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees of the Company are eligible to receive ISOs, while employees and non-employee directors, advisors and consultants are eligible to receive options, which are not ISOs, i.e. “Non-Qualified Options.” Because the Company has not yet obtained shareholder approval of the 2006 Plan, all options granted thereunder to date are “Non-Qualified Options” and until such shareholder approval is obtained, all future options issued under the 2006 Plan will also be “Non-Qualified Options.” In December 2014, the Company’s received shareholder approval authorizing the Board of Directors to implement the form, terms and provisions of the 2014 Plan. Accordingly, any options issued to employees under the 2014 Plan will be ISOs within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Stock-based Compensation Total share-based employee, director, and consultant compensation for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 amounted to approximately $3,514,000, $1,666,000 and $4,437,000, respectively. These amounts are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The summary of the stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Exercise Contractual Shares per Share Life (Years) Outstanding January 1, 2018 3,578,538 $ 4.64 6.3 Granted 1,481,675 $ 8.01 9.2 Forfeited (544,671) $ 7.49 — Expired (800) $ 2.88 — Exercised (856,280) $ 3.65 — Outstanding, December 31, 2018 3,658,462 $ 5.82 7.0 Granted 1,557,300 $ 7.19 9.5 Forfeited (747,671) $ 7.39 Expired (16,320) $ 4.16 — Exercised (233,582) $ 4.09 — Outstanding, December 31, 2019 4,218,189 $ 6.16 7.0 Granted 1,579,106 $ 6.37 9.0 Forfeited (34,644) $ 7.50 — Expired (226,440) $ 5.60 — Exercised (371,007) $ 4.46 — Outstanding, December 31, 2020 5,165,204 $ 6.36 7.26 The fair value of each stock option was estimated using the Black Scholes pricing model which takes into account as of the grant date the exercise price (ranging from $5.00 - $10.58 per share in 2020) and expected life of the stock option (10 years in 2020), the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility (ranging from 61.7 to 69.8 percent in 2020), expected dividends (-0- percent) on the stock and the risk free interest rate (0.28 to 0.96 percent) for the term of the stock option. In addition, the Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The intrinsic value is calculated at the difference between the market value as of December 31, 2020 of $7.97 and the exercise price of the shares. Options Exercisable Number Weighted Exercisable at Average Aggregate December 31, Exercise Intrinsic 2020 Price Value 3,167,087 $ 6.18 $ 6,002,524 Options Outstanding Number Weighted Weighted Range of Outstanding at Average Average Aggregate Exercise December 31, Exercise Remaining Intrinsic Price 2020 Price Life (Years) Value $5.68 - $10.58 5,165,204 $ 6.36 7.26 $ 8,786,197 The summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested options for the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows: Weighted Average Grant Date Shares Fair Value Non-vested, January 1, 2020 1,183,790 $ 4.49 Granted 1,579,106 3.88 Forfeited (34,644) 4.74 Vested (730,135) 4.15 Non-vested, December 31, 2020 1,998,117 $ 4.12 As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $2,898,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options which will, on average, be amortized over 27 months. In 2021, the Board of Directors intends to grant a pool of options to purchase shares of common stock to the Company’s employees which will vest upon the achievement of certain specific, predetermined milestones related to the Company’s 2021 operations. Since these options relate exclusively to the achievement of 2021 milestones, no charge for these options has been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company will assess the likelihood of meeting these milestones throughout 2021 and will record stock option expense as appropriate. Awards of Stock Options: On February 28, 2020, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase 1,114,325 shares of common stock to the Company's employees which will vest upon the achievement of certain specific, predetermined milestones related to the Company's 2020 operations. Once awarded, these options will vest in four equal tranches, the first tranche vesting on the date of the award. The grant date fair value of these unvested options amounted to approximately $3,883,000. Based upon an assessment by management, which was reviewed with the Board of Directors, as of December 31, 2020, the Company met approximately 88% of these milestones, and accordingly we have recorded $914,000 in stock option expense related to these options for the year ended December 31, 2020. On July 22, 2019, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase 926,800 shares of common stock to the Company's employees which will vest upon the achievement of certain specific, predetermined milestones related to the Company's 2019 operations.

The grant date fair value of these unvested options amounted to approximately $5,636,000. On February 19, 2019, based upon the finalization of its review of the Company's progress to meeting the predetermined milestones for 2018, the Board of Directors determined that 726,920 of these options would immediately vest. Accordingly, a charge of approximately $3,381,000 related to these options has been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2018. Change in Control-Based Awards of Restricted Stock Units: The Board of Directors has granted restricted stock units to members of the Board of Directors, to the Company’s executive officers, and to employees of the Company.

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: | |
Nature of Business | Nature of Business The Company is a leader in critical care immunotherapy using blood purification technology to treat deadly inflammation in critically-ill and cardiac surgery patients around the world. The Company, through its subsidiary CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. (formerly known as CytoSorbents, Inc.), is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of medical devices with its blood purification technology platform which incorporates a proprietary adsorbent, porous polymer technology. The Company, through its wholly owned European subsidiary, CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, conducts sales and marketing related operations for the CytoSorb device. In March 2016, the Company formed CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the second quarter of 2016, provides marketing and direct sales services in Switzerland. In November 2018, the Company formed CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the first quarter of 2019, provides marketing and direct sales services in Poland. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company formed CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. which is responsible for the management of our clinical trial activities in the United Kingdom. CytoSorb, the Company's flagship product, was approved in the European Union (“EU”) in March 2011, and is currently being marketed and distributed in sixty-seven countries around the world, as a safe and effective extracorporeal cytokine absorber, designed to reduce the “cytokine storm” that could otherwise cause massive inflammation, organ failure and death in common critical illnesses such as sepsis, burn injury, trauma, lung injury, and pancreatitis. In May 2018, the Company received a label extension for CytoSorb covering use of the device for the removal of bilirubin and myoglobin which allows for the use of the device in the treatment of liver failure and trauma, respectively. CytoSorb is also being used during and after cardiac surgery to remove inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and free hemoglobin, which can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. In January 2020, CytoSorb received European Union CE Mark label expansion to include the removal of ticagrelor during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. In May 2020, CytoSorb also received European Union CE Mark label expansion to include rivaroxaban removal for the same indication. In April 2020, the Company announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) granted Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) of CytoSorb for use in critically-ill patients infected with COVID-19. Under the EUA, the Company can make CytoSorb available, through commercial sales, to all hospitals in the United States for use in patients, 18 years of age or older, with confirmed COVID-19 infection who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with confirmed or imminent respiratory failure who have early acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe disease, or life-threatening illness resulting in respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure. The CytoSorb device has neither been cleared nor approved for the indication to treat patients with COVID-19 infection. The EUA will be effective until a declaration is made that the circumstances justifying the EUA have terminated or until revoked by the FDA. In April 2020, the Company also announced that the FDA had granted Breakthrough Designation to CytoSorb for the removal of ticagrelor in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during emergent and urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Breakthrough Devices Program provides for more effective treatment of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating disease or conditions, in this case the need to reverse the effects of ticagrelor in emergent or urgent cardiac surgery that can otherwise cause a high risk of serious or life-threatening bleeding. Through Breakthrough Designation, the FDA intends to work with CytoSorbents to expedite the development, assessment, and regulatory review of CytoSorb for the removal of ticagrelor, while maintaining statutory standards of regulatory approval (e.g., 510(k), de novo The technology is based upon biocompatible, highly porous polymer sorbent beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. The Company has numerous products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology, which is protected by 16 issued U.S. patents and multiple international patents, with applications pending both in the U.S. and internationally, including HemoDefend, ContrastSorb, DrugSorb, and others. These patents and patent applications are directed to various compositions and methods of use related to our blood purification technologies and are expected to expire between 2021 and 2035, absent any patent term extensions. Management believes that any near-term expiring patents will not have a significant impact on our ongoing business. |
Stock Market Listing | Stock Market Listing On December 17, 2014 the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), and it began trading on Nasdaq on December 23, 2014 under the symbol “CTSO”. Previously, the Company’s common stock traded in the over-the-counter-market on the OTC Bulletin Board. |
Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation | Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CytoSorbents Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. and CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH and CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o., wholly owned subsidiaries of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, and CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Translation gains and losses resulting from the process of remeasuring into the United States of America dollar, the foreign currency financial statements of the European subsidiary, for which the United States of America dollar is the functional currency, are included in operations. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss) included in net loss amounted to approximately $2,607,000, $(350,000) and $(785,000) for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company translates assets and liabilities of the European subsidiary, whose functional currency is their local currency, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The Company translates revenue and expenses at the daily average exchange rates. The Company includes accumulated net translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholder’s equity. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Grants and Accounts Receivable | Grants and Accounts Receivable Grants receivable represent amounts due from U.S. government agencies and are included in Grants and Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are unsecured, non-interest bearing customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its devices to various hospitals and distributors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to determine collectability. Balances that are determined to be uncollectible are reserved for to the allowance for doubtful accounts. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a first-in first-out (“FIFO”) basis. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s inventory was comprised of finished goods, which amounted to $1,164,635 and $305,452, respectively, work in process which amounted to $1,222,062 and $1,523,923, respectively and raw materials which amounted to $287,102 and $284,522, respectively. Devices used in clinical trials or for research and development purposes are removed from inventory and charged to research and development expenses at the time of their use. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their economic useful lives or the term of the related leases. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statements of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. |
Patents | Patents Legal costs incurred to establish patents are capitalized. When patents are issued, capitalized costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the related patent term. In the event a patent is abandoned, the net book value of the patent is written off. |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the impairment of patents and other long-lived assets under accounting standards for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Product Sales: Grant Revenue : |
Research and Development | Research and Development All research and development costs, payments to laboratories, research consultants and costs related to clinical trials and studies are expensed when incurred. |
Advertising Expenses | Advertising Expenses Advertising costs are charged to activities when incurred. Advertising expense amounted to approximately $285,000, $314,000 and $212,000 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by accounting standards for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code the net operating losses generated prior to the previously completed reverse merger may be limited due to the change in ownership. Additionally, net operating losses generated subsequent to the reverse merger may be limited in the event of changes in ownership. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. See Note 9 for the impact of the tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company follows the accounting standards associated with uncertain tax provisions. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020 or 2019. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. The Company utilizes the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell a portion of its New Jersey Net Operating Loss tax carryforwards and Research and Development credits to an industrial company. CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o. and CytoSorbents UK Limited files an annual corporate tax return, a VAT return and a trade tax return in Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the United Kingdom, respectively. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The valuation of options granted is a significant estimate in these consolidated financial statements. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions in an effort to minimize its collection risk of these balances. A significant portion of our revenues are from product sales in Germany. Substantially all of our grant and other income are from grant agencies in the United States. (See Note 3 for further information relating to the Company’s revenue.) As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, no agency, distributor/strategic partners or direct customer represented more than 10%of outstanding grants and accounts receivables. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 no agency, distributor/strategic partners or direct customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. |
Net Loss Per Common Share | Net Loss per Common Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the treasury stock method on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted shares. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (See Note 12). |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the recognition requirements of accounting standards for accounting for stock-based compensation for employees and directors whereby each option granted is valued at fair market value on the date of grant. Under these accounting standards, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company also follows the guidance of accounting standards for accounting for equity instruments that are issued to non-employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services for equity instruments issued to consultants. |
Shipping and Handling Costs | S The cost of shipping product to customers and distributors is typically borne by the customer or distributor. The Company records shipping and handling costs in cost of revenue. Total freight costs amounted to approximately $560,000, $476,000 and $424,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
