Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of SANUWAVE Health, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (“SANUWAVE” or the “Company”)
contains forward-looking statements. All statements in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those made by the
management of the Company, other than statements of historical
fact, are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking
statements include statements regarding the Company’s future
financial results, operating results, and projected costs; market
acceptance of and demand for dermaPACE and our product candidates;
management’s plans and objectives for future operations;
industry trends; regulatory actions that could adversely affect the
price of or demand for our approved products; our intellectual
property portfolio; our business, marketing and manufacturing
capacity and strategy; estimates regarding our capital
requirements, the anticipated timing of the need for additional
funds, and our expectations regarding future capital-raising
transactions, including potential tender offers for certain of our
outstanding series of warrants; product liability claims; economic
conditions that could adversely affect the level of demand for our
products; timing of clinical studies and eventual FDA approval of
our products; financial markets; and the competitive environment.
These forward-looking statements are based on management’s
estimates, projections and assumptions as of the date hereof and
include the assumptions that underlie such statements.
Forward-looking statements may contain words such as
“may,” “will,” “should,”
“could,” “would,” “expect,”
“plan,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,”
“predict,” “potential” and
“continue,” the negative of these terms, or other
comparable terminology. Any expectations based on these
forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
and other important factors, including those discussed in the
reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), specifically the sections titled “Risk
Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2017, filed on March 29, 2018 and in the
Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Other risks and
uncertainties are and will be disclosed in the Company’s
prior and future SEC filings. These and many other factors could
affect the Company’s future financial condition and operating
results and could cause actual results to differ materially from
expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this
document or elsewhere by the Company or on its behalf. The Company
undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking
statements. The following information should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements included in the Company’s

United States is the dermaPACE® device, used
for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two
double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies. On December
28, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the
“FDA”) notified the Company to permit the marketing of
the dermaPACE System for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in
the United States.
The Company’s portfolio of healthcare
products and product candidates activate biologic signaling and
angiogenic responses, including new vascularization and
microcirculatory improvement, helping to restore the body’s
normal healing processes and regeneration. The Company intends to
apply its Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE®)
technology in wound healing, orthopedic, plastic/cosmetic and
cardiac conditions. In 2018, the Company has started marketing the
dermaPACE System for sale in the United States and the European
Conformity Marking (CE Mark) devices and accessories in Europe,
Canada, Asia and Asia/Pacific. The Company generates revenues
streams from product sales, licensing transactions and other
activities.
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for
interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. The financial information as of
September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2018 and 2017 is unaudited; however, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for any other interim period or
for the year ending December 31, 2018.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has
been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 29, 2018.
2. Going Concern
The
Company does not currently generate significant recurring revenue
and will require additional capital during the fourth quarter of
2018 and the first quarter of 2019. As of September 30, 2018, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of $114,541,440 and cash and cash equivalents of $72,311. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the net cash
used by operating activities was $2,271,566 and $944,831,
respectively. The Company incurred a net loss of $9,470,056 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018 and a net loss of $5,537,936
for the year ended December 31, 2017. The operating losses and the
events of default on the Company’s convertible promissory
notes (see Note 8) and the notes payable, related parties (see Note
11) indicate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months
from the filing of this report.

2. Going Concern (continued)
The continuation of the Company’s business
is dependent upon raising additional capital during the fourth
quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 to fund operations.
Management’s plans are to obtain additional capital through
investments by strategic partners for market opportunities, which
may include strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements, or
raise capital through the conversion of outstanding warrants,
including through tender offers for the outstanding warrants, the
issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into
common stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to
the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant
dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders.
Although no assurances can be given, management of the Company
believes that potential additional issuances of equity or other
potential financing transactions as discussed above should provide
the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going
concern. If these efforts are
unsuccessful, the Company may be forced to seek relief through a
filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Standards
In May
2014, the Financial Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting
Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606) (ASC 606), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue
recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASC 606 is
to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are
transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those
goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five step process to achieve
this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates
may be required within the revenue recognition process than are
required under existing GAAP. The standard was declared effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim
periods therein, using either of the following transition methods:
(i) a full retrospective method, which requires the standard to be
applied to each prior period presented, or (ii) a modified
retrospective method, which requires the cumulative effect of
adoption to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained
earnings in the period of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB
confirmed a one-year delay in the effective date of ASU 2014-09,
making the effective date for the Company the first quarter of
fiscal 2018 instead of the previous effective date, which was the
first quarter of fiscal 2017. This one year deferral was issued by
the FASB in ASU 2015-14, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company
adopted the new standard on a modified retrospective basis as of
January 1, 2018. The Company completed an assessment of customer
contracts and concluded that the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a
material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements;
therefore, no cumulative-effect adjustment was recorded on the
adoption. The disclosures related to revenue recognition have been
significantly expanded under the standard, specifically around the
quantitative and qualitative information about performance
obligations and disaggregation of revenue. The expanded disclosure
requirements are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
(see Notes 5 and 15).
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires
lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The
provisions of this guidance are effective for the annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those
years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the
requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact
of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of
Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230). This
ASU makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash
payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash
flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017. This standard requires adoption on a
retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which
case it must be applied prospectively as of the earliest date
practicable. The new standard was adopted during the first quarter
of 2018 using a retrospective transition method. The adoption of
this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies what
constitutes a modification of a share-based payment award.
The ASU is intended to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in
practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in
Topic 718 to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based
payment award. ASU 2017-09 is effective for public entities
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have a
material impact on its financial condition or results of
operations.
In July
2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480): Derivatives and Hedging (Topic
815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite
Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of
Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable
Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of
this ASU addresses the complexity and reporting burden associated
with the accounting for freestanding and embedded instruments with
down round features as liabilities subject to fair value
measurement. Part II of this ASU addresses the difficulty of
navigating Topic 480. Part I of this ASU will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is
permitted for an entity in an interim or annual period. Management
is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet
determined the impact of the pending adoption on the
Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,
Compensation
– Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to
Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies the accounting for
share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the
accounting for share-based payments to employees. As a result,
share-based payments issued to nonemployees related to the
acquisition of goods and services will be accounted for similarly
to the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with
certain exceptions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within
such fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted if financial
statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-07 on the
Company’s financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-09, Codification
Improvements (“ASU
2018-09”). These amendments provide clarifications and
corrections to certain ASC subtopics including the following:
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Overall
(Topic 220-10), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Topic
470-50), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity – Overall
(Topic 480-10), Compensation - Stock Compensation - Income Taxes
(Topic 718-740), Business Combinations - Income Taxes (Topic
805-740), Derivatives and Hedging – Overall (Topic 815- 10),
and Fair Value Measurement – Overall (Topic 820-10). The
majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is
currently evaluating and assessing the impact this guidance will
have on its condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-10, Codification Improvements to
Topic 842, Leases (“ASU
2018-10”). The amendments in ASU 2018-10 provide additional
clarification and implementation guidance on certain aspects of the
previously issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU
2016-02”) and have the same effective and transition
requirements as ASU 2016-02. Upon the effective date, ASU 2018-10
will supersede the current lease guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases.
Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for
all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease
liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease
payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis.
Concurrently, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use
asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right
to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease
term. ASU 2018-10 is effective for emerging growth companies for
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be
applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for
leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the
earliest comparative periods presented in the financial statements.
The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will
have on its condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted
Improvements, (“ASU
2018-11”). The amendments in ASU 2018-11 related to
transition relief on comparative reporting at adoption affect all
entities with lease contracts that choose the additional transition
method and separating components of a contract affect only lessors
whose lease contracts qualify for the practical expedient. The
amendments in ASU 2018-11 are effective for emerging growth
companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently
assessing the impact this guidance will have on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic
820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure
Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU
2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements associated with fair
value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement,
including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments
on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted
average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3
fair value measurements, and the narrative description of
measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only
the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial
fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied
retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.
The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an
interim period. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2018-13 and
its impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

The
timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from
the timing of payment by its customers. A contract asset
(receivable) is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to
payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment.
Alternatively, when payment precedes the satisfaction of
performance obligations, the Company records a contract liability
(deferred revenue) until the performance obligations are satisfied.
Of the aggregate $379,074 of contract liability balances as of
September 30, 2018, the Company expects to satisfy its remaining
performance obligations associated with $353,115 and $25,959 of
contract liability balances within the next twelve months and
following twelve months, respectively.
Joint Venture
On September 27, 2017, the Company entered into a
binding term sheet with MundiMed Distribuidora Hospitalar
LTDA (“MundiMed”),
effective as of September 25, 2017, for a joint venture for the
manufacture, sale and distribution of our dermaPACE device. Under
the binding term sheet, MundiMed was to pay the Company an initial
upfront distribution fee, with monthly upfront distribution fees
payable thereafter over the following eighteen months. Profits from
the joint venture were to be distributed as follows: 45% to the
Company, 45% to MundiMed and 5% each to LHS Latina Health Solutions
Gestão Empresarial Ltda. and Universus Global Advisors LLC,
who acted as advisors in the transaction. The initial upfront
distribution fee was received on October 6, 2017. Monthly upfront
distribution fee payments have been received through May 2018.
Through September 30, 2018, the Company received aggregate payments
of $372,222. In August 2018, MundiMed advised the Company that it
did not anticipate being able to make further payments under the
binding term sheet due to operational and cash flow difficulties.
On September 14, 2018, the Company sent a letter to MundiMed
informing them of a breach in our agreement regarding payment of
the upfront distribution fee. On September 28, 2018, the Company
received a response letter stating that the Company was in default
of the agreement. On October 9, 2018, the Company sent MundiMed a
letter of termination of the agreement effective as of October 8,
2018. As of September 30, 2018, the Company derecognized the
contract assets and contract liabilities associated with the
MundiMed contract.
The
Company has received cash advances to help fund the Company’s
operations. On January 10, 2018, the outstanding balance of the
$310,000 of advances payable was converted into two 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes (see Note 8). As of September 30, 2018, the Company
had balances of $144,000 due to a related party. The advances
are non-interest bearing ad have no stated terms. Imputed
interest is de minimis to the financial
statements.
As of December 31, 2017, A. Michael Stolarski and
Kevin A. Richardson II, both members of the Company’s board
of directors and existing shareholders of the Company, had
subscribed $130,000 and $140,000, respectively, to the Company as
advances from related parties to be used to purchase 10%
Convertible Promissory Notes. The convertible promissory
notes for this balance were issued on January 10, 2018 (see Note
8).

Convertible
promissory notes
In
2017, the Company began offering
subscriptions for 10% convertible promissory notes (the “10%
Convertible Promissory Notes”) to selected accredited
investors. The 10% Convertible Promissory Notes have a six month
term from the subscription date and the note holders can convert
the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes at any time during the term
to the number of shares of Company common stock, $0.001 par value (the
“Common Stock”), equal to the amount obtained by
dividing (i) the amount of the unpaid principal and interest on the
note by (ii) $0.11. During the nine months ended September 30,
2018, the Company issued $1,596,000 in the aggregate principal
amount of 10% Convertible Promissory Notes, including $430,000
purchased by officers and directors.
The 10% Convertible Promissory Notes include a
warrant agreement (the “Class N Warrant”) to purchase
Common Stock equal to the amount obtained by dividing the (i) sum
of the principal amount by (ii) $0.11. The Class N Warrants expire
March 17, 2019. On January 10, 2018 and February 2, 2018,
the Company issued 13,599,999 and 909,091, respectively, Class N
Warrants in connection with the closings of 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes.
Pursuant to the
terms of a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) that the Company entered with the
accredited investors in connection with the 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes, the Company is required to file a registration
statement that covers the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes or upon exercise
of the Class N Warrants. The failure on the part of the Company to
satisfy certain deadlines described in the Registration Rights
Agreement may subject the Company to payment of certain monetary
penalties. As of the date of the
filing of this report the registration statement has not yet been
filed. At this time the monetary penalty has been determine by
management to be de minimis.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded
$709,827 in debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature of
the promissory notes, $808,458 in debt discount for the discount on
the Class N Warrant agreement and $77,715 in debt issuance costs to
be amortized over the lives of the 10% Convertible Promissory
Notes. Additional debt issuance costs will be incurred and
amortized over the remaining lives of the 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes when Class N Warrants are issued per the
engagement letter with West Park Capital. The calculated fair
value of the Class N Warrants was determined using the
Black-Scholes pricing model based on the following

payable, related parties
The
notes payable, related parties as amended were issued in
conjunction with the Company’s purchase of the orthopedic
division of HealthTronics, Inc. The notes payable, related parties
bear interest at 8% per annum, as amended. All remaining unpaid
accrued interest and principal is due on December 31, 2018, as
amended. HealthTronics, Inc. is a related party because they
are a shareholder in the Company and have a security agreement with
the Company detailed below.
On June 15 2015, the Company entered into a
security agreement with HealthTronics, Inc. to provide a first
security interest in the assets of the Company. During any period when
an Event of Default occurs, the applicable interest rate shall
increase by 2% per annum. Events of Default under the notes
payable, related parties have occurred and are continuing on
account of the failure of SANUWAVE, Inc., a Delaware corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the borrower under the
notes payable, related parties, to make the required payments of
interest which were due on December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June
30, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, June 30, 2018 and
September 30, 2018 (collectively, the “Defaults”). As a
result of the Defaults, the notes payable, related parties have
been accruing interest at the rate of 10% per annum since January
2, 2017 and continue to accrue interest at such rate. The Company
will be required to make mandatory prepayments of principal on the
notes payable, related parties equal to 20% of the proceeds
received by the Company through the issuance or sale of any equity
securities in cash or through the licensing of the Company’s
patents or other intellectual property rights.
The
notes payable, related parties had an aggregate outstanding
principal balance of $5,335,243, net of $37,500 debt discount at
September 30, 2018 and $5,222,259, net of $150,484 debt discount at
December 31, 2017, respectively.
Accrued
interest, related parties currently payable totaled $1,005,144 at
September 30, 2018 and $685,907 at December 31, 2017. Interest
expense on notes payable, related parties totaled $199,991 and
$160,979 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017,
respectively, and $583,448 and $444,437 for the nine months ended

Consulting Agreement
In
April 2018, the Company verbally entered into a month-to-month
consulting agreement with a consultant for which a portion of the

of shares to be paid with Common Stock was calculated by dividing
the amount of the fee to be paid with Common Stock of $4,000 by the
Company stock price at the close of business on the eighth business
day of each month. The Company issued 74,714 shares of Common Stock
for services performed from January through June 2018. The $20,000
was recorded as a non-cash general and administrative expense upon
issuance in June 2018.
On
March 27, 2018, the Company issued 533,450 shares of Common Stock
for services rendered, pursuant to a consulting agreement, May 2017

The
exercise price of the Class K Warrants and the Series A Warrants
are subject to a “down-round” anti-dilution adjustment
if the Company issues or is deemed to have issued certain
securities at a price lower than the then applicable exercise price
of the warrants. Accordingly, the Company has classified such
warrants as derivative liabilities. The Class K Warrants may
be exercised on a physical settlement or on a cashless basis.
The Series A Warrants may be exercised on a physical settlement
basis if a registration statement underlying the warrants is
effective. If a registration statement is not effective (or
the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the
resale by the holder of the Series A Warrants, then the holder may
exercise the warrants on a cashless basis.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted Class
O Warrant Agreements to various vendors to purchase 1,509,091
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share for
consulting services rendered. Each
Class O Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of
Common Stock. The estimated fair value of the Class O Warrants at
the grant dates totaled $319,885 and was recorded as general and
administrative expense and an increase to additional paid-in
capital when the warrants were issued. The warrants vested upon
issuance and expire on various dates between March 17, 2019 and
January 25, 2022.
The
Class K Warrants and the Series A Warrants are derivative financial
instruments. The estimated fair value of the Class K Warrants at
the date of grant was $36,989 and recorded as debt discount, which
is accreted to interest expense through the maturity date of the
related notes payable, related parties. The estimated fair values
of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants at the date of
grant were $557,733 for the warrants issued in conjunction with the
2014 Private Placement and $47,974 for the warrants issued in
conjunction with the 18% Convertible Promissory Notes. The fair
value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were recorded
as equity issuance costs in 2014, a reduction of additional paid-in
capital. The Series B Warrants expired unexercised in March
2015.
The
estimated fair values were determined using a binomial option
pricing model based on various assumptions. The
Company’s derivative liabilities have been classified as
Level 3 instruments and are adjusted to reflect estimated fair
value at each period end, with any decrease or increase in the
estimated fair value being recorded in other income or expense
accordingly, as adjustments to the fair value of derivative
liabilities. Various factors are considered in the pricing
models the Company uses to value the warrants, including the
Company’s current common stock price, the remaining life of
the warrants which ranged from 0.5 to 8.85 years, the volatility of
the Company’s common stock price which ranged from 112% to
136%, and the risk-free interest rate which ranged from 2.33% to
3.03%. In addition, as of the valuation dates, management
assessed the probabilities of future financing and other re-pricing
events in the binominal valuation models.

The
Company is a defendant in various legal actions, claims and
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including
claims related to breach of contracts and intellectual property
matters resulting from our business activities. As with most
actions such as these, an estimation of any possible and/or

pending claims, if adversely decided, would not have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of
operations.
SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

September 30, 2018
The Company
began accounting for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which we
adopted beginning January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective
method (see Note 3). The core principle of
ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a
five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so,
it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within
the revenue recognition process than required under GAAP, including
identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the
amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction
price and allocating the transaction price to each separate
performance obligation. As a result of the adoption of ASC
606, the Company has recorded contract assets and contract
liabilities (see Note 5).
Pursuant to ASC 606,
we apply the following the five-step model:
1.
Identify the
contract(s) with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when
(i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that
defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be
transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these
goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we
determine that collection of substantially all consideration for
services that are transferred is probable based on the
customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised
consideration.
2.
Identify the
performance obligation(s) in the contract. If a contract promises
to transfer more than one good or service to a customer, each good
or service constitutes a separate performance obligation if the
good or service is distinct or capable of being
distinct.
3.
Determine the
transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchanging the promised goods or services to the
customer.
4.
Allocate the
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
For a contract that has more than one performance obligation, an
entity should allocate the transaction price to each performance
obligation in an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to
which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for satisfying
each performance obligation.
5.
Recognize revenue
when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. For
each performance obligation, an entity should determine whether the
entity satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time or
over time. Appropriate methods of measuring progress include output
methods and input methods.
The
Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following types of
contracts:
Product sales
Product
sales include devices and applicators (new and refurbished).
Product sales revenue is recognized at the point in time where the
customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its
performance obligation, which is generally at the time the Company
ships the product to the customer.
Licensing transactions
Licensing
transaction include distribution licenses and intellectual property
licenses. The Company’s licenses are primarily symbolic
licenses, with no significant stand-alone functionality. Symbolic
licensing fee revenue is recognized over the time period that the
Company satisfies its performance obligations, which is generally
the term of the licensing agreement.
Other activities
Other
activities primarily include warranties, repairs and billed
freight. Device product sales are bundled with an initial one-year
warranty and the Company offers a separately priced second-year
warranty. The Company allocates the device sales price to the
product and the embedded warranty by reference to the stand-alone
extended warranty price. Because the warranty represents a
stand-ready obligation, revenue is recognized over the time period
that the Company satisfies its performance obligations, which is
generally the warranty term. Repairs (parts and labor) and billed
freight revenue are recognized at the point in time that the
service is performed, or the product is shipped,
respectively.

On
November 1, 2010, the Company approved the Amended and Restated
2006 Stock Incentive Plan of SANUWAVE Health, Inc. effective as of
January 1, 2010 (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The Stock
Incentive Plan permits grants of awards to selected employees,
directors and advisors of the Company in the form of restricted
stock or options to purchase shares of common stock. Options
granted may include non-statutory options as well as qualified
incentive stock options. The Stock Incentive Plan is administered
by the board of directors of the Company. The Stock Incentive Plan
gives broad powers to the board of directors of the Company to
administer and interpret the particular form and conditions of each
option. The stock options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan
are non-statutory options which generally vest over a period of up
to three years and have a ten year term. The options are granted at
an exercise price determined by the board of directors of the
Company to be the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of the grant. At September 30, 2018, the Stock Incentive Plan
reserved 35,000,000 shares of common stock for grant and 4,658,281
shares are available for issuance.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted to
employees, members of the board of directors and members of the
Company’s Medical Advisory Board options to purchase an
aggregate of 10,080,000 shares of common stock under a previously
issued incentive plan. The options have an exercise price between
$0.11 and $0.42 per share for an aggregate grant date value of
$2,474,496. The options vested upon issuance and have a term of ten
years.
The
fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant

exercisable options was $1,456,116 and $2,073,641 at September 30,
2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
The
weighted average remaining contractual term for outstanding
exercisable stock options was 7.65 and 7.37 years as of September
30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Earnings
(loss) per share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by
dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders
for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents
then outstanding. To the extent that securities are
“anti-dilutive,” they are excluded from the calculation
of diluted net income (loss) per share.
As a
result of the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018
and 2017, all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive and
therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per
share. The anti-dilutive equity securities totaled 158,075,531
shares and 99,388,222 shares at September 30, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the
related notes appearing elsewhere in this report, and together with
our audited consolidated financial statements, related notes and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018.
Overview
We are
a shock wave technology company
using a patented system of noninvasive, high-energy, acoustic shock
waves for regenerative medicine and other applications. Our initial
focus is regenerative medicine – utilizing noninvasive,
acoustic shock waves to produce a biological response resulting in
the body healing itself through the repair and regeneration of
tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular structures. Our lead
regenerative product in the United States is the
dermaPACE® device, used
for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two
double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies. On December
28, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the
“FDA”) notified the Company to permit the marketing of
the dermaPACE System for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in
the United States.
Our
portfolio of healthcare products and product candidates activate
biologic signaling and angiogenic responses, including new
vascularization and microcirculatory improvement, helping to
restore the body’s normal healing processes and regeneration.
We intend to apply our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE®) technology in
wound healing, orthopedic, plastic/cosmetic and cardiac conditions.
In 2018, we have started marketing our dermaPACE System for sale in
the United States and will continue to generate revenue from sales
of the European Conformity Marking (CE Mark) devices and
accessories in Europe, Canada, Asia and Asia/Pacific.
We
believe we have demonstrated that our patented technology is safe
and effective in stimulating healing in chronic conditions of the
foot and the elbow through our United States FDA Class III PMA
approved OssaTron® device, and in
the stimulation of bone and chronic tendonitis regeneration in the
musculoskeletal environment through the utilization of our
OssaTron, Evotron®, and
orthoPACE® devices in
Europe and Asia. Our lead product candidate for the global wound
care market, dermaPACE, has received the CE Mark allowing for
commercial use on acute and chronic defects of the skin and
subcutaneous soft tissue.
We
are focused on developing our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE) technology to activate healing in:
●
wound
conditions, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial
ulcers, pressure sores, burns and other skin eruption
conditions;
●
orthopedic
applications, such as eliminating chronic pain in joints from
trauma, arthritis or tendons/ligaments inflammation, speeding the
healing of fractures (including nonunion or delayed-union
conditions), improving bone density in osteoporosis, fusing bones
in the extremities and spine, and other potential sports injury
applications;
●
plastic/cosmetic
applications such as cellulite smoothing, graft and transplant
acceptance, skin tightening, scarring and other potential aesthetic
uses; and
●
cardiac
applications for removing plaque due to atherosclerosis improving
heart muscle performance.
In
addition to healthcare uses, our high-energy, acoustic pressure
shock waves, due to their powerful pressure gradients and localized
cavitational effects, may have applications in secondary and
tertiary oil exploitation, for cleaning industrial waters and food
liquids and finally for maintenance of industrial installations by
disrupting biofilms formation. Our business approach will be
through licensing and/or partnership opportunities.
Recent Developments
On
December 28, 2017, the FDA notified the Company to permit the
marketing of the dermaPACE system for the treatment of diabetic
foot ulcers in the United States.
On September 27, 2017, we entered into a binding
term sheet with MundiMed Distribuidora Hospitalar LTDA
(“MundiMed”), effective as
of September 25, 2017, for a joint venture for the manufacture,
sale and distribution of our dermaPACE device. Under the binding
term sheet, MundiMed will pay the Company an initial upfront
distribution fee, with monthly upfront distribution fees payable
thereafter over the following eighteen months. Profits from the
joint venture are distributed as follows: 45% to the Company, 45%
to MundiMed and 5% each to LHS Latina Health Solutions Gestão
Empresarial Ltda. and Universus Global Advisors LLC, who acted as
advisors in the transaction. The initial upfront distribution fee
was received on October 6, 2017. Monthly upfront distribution fee
payments have been received through May 2018. In August 2018,
MundiMed advised the Company that it did not anticipate being able
to make further payments under the binding term sheet due to
operational and cash flow difficulties. On September 14,
2018, the Company sent a letter to MundiMed informing them of a
breach in our agreement regarding payment of the upfront
distribution fee. On September 28, 2018, the Company recieved
a response letter stating that the Company was in default of teh
agreement. On October 9, 2018, the Company sent MundiMed a
letter of termination of the agreement effective as of October 8,
2018. The Companh is currently in discussions with a new
partner to take over this agreement for the marketing and
distibution of its products in Brazil.
On
February 13, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement for
Purchase and Sale, Limited Exclusive Distribution and Royalties,
and Servicing and Repairs with Premier Shockwave Wound Care, Inc.,
a Georgia Corporation (“PSWC”), and Premier Shockwave,
Inc., a Georgia Corporation (“PS”). The agreement
provides for the purchase by PSWC and PS of dermaPACE System and
related equipment sold by the Company and includes a minimum
purchase of 100 units over 3 years. The agreement grants PSWC and
PS limited but exclusive distribution rights to provide dermaPACE
Systems to certain governmental healthcare facilities in exchange
for the payment of certain royalties to the Company. Under the
agreement, the Company is responsible for the servicing and repairs
of such dermaPACE Systems and equipment. The agreement also
contains provisions whereby in the event of a change of control of
the Company (as defined in the agreement), the stockholders of PSWC
have the right and option to cause the Company to purchase all of
the stock of PSWC, and whereby the Company has the right and option
to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of PSWC, in each case
based upon certain defined purchase price provisions and other
terms. The agreement also contains certain transfer restrictions on
the stock of PSWC. Each of PS and PSWC is owned by A. Michael
Stolarski, a member of the Company’s board of directors and
an existing shareholder of the Company.
On June
26, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement with Johnfk Medical Inc. (“FKS”),
effective as of June 14, 2018, pursuant to which the Company and
FKS committed to enter into a joint venture for the manufacture,
sale and distribution of the Company’s dermaPACE and
orthoPACE devices. Under the Agreement, FKS paid the Company a fee
of $500,000 for initial distribution rights in Taiwan on June 22,
2018, with an additional fee of $500,000 for initial distribution
rights in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos,
Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam (the “SEA
Region”) to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2018.
On
September 21, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture
agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with FKS setting forth
the terms of the operation, management and control of a joint
venture entity initially with the name of Holistic Health Institute
Pte. Ltd., a private limited company to be incorporated in the
Republic of Singapore, but with such company name subject to
confirmation by Singapore Government. On November 9, 2018, the
joint venture entity was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore
with the name of Holistic Wellness Alliance Pte. Ltd.
(“HWA”). HWA was formed as a joint venture of the
Company and FKS for the manufacture, sale and distribution of the
Company’s dermaPACE® and
orthoPACE® devices. Under
the JV Agreement, the Company and FKS each hold shares constituting
fifty percent of the issued share capital of HWA. The Company
provides to HWA FDA and CE approved products for an agreed cost,
access to treatment protocols, training, marketing and sales
materials and management expertise, and FKS provides to HWA
capital, human capital and sales resources in Singapore, Malaysia,
Brunei, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines
and Vietnam, certain reports and identification of new key opinion
leaders as well as clinical trial and poster access availability.
The JV Agreement also established the corporate governance of HWA,
including a five-person board of directors consisting of two
directors designated by the Company, two directors designated by
FKS, and a third director appointed jointly by the parties.
Initially, net profits under the JV Agreement shall be used to
repay FKS for (i) the payment of $500,000 on June 22, 2018 to the
Company for initial distribution rights in Taiwan and (ii) the cash
advance to HWA per the terms of the JV Agreement. The JV Agreement
includes other customary terms, including regarding the transfer of
shares, indemnification and confidentiality.
Clinical Trials and Marketing
The FDA
granted approval of our Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to
conduct two double-blinded, randomized clinical trials utilizing
our lead device product for the global wound care market, the
dermaPACE device, in the treatment of diabetic foot
ulcers.
The
dermaPACE system was evaluated using two studies under IDE G070103.
The studies were designed as prospective, randomized, double-blind,
parallel-group, sham-controlled, multi-center 24-week studies at 39
centers. A total of 336 subjects were enrolled and treated with
either dermaPACE plus conventional therapy or conventional therapy
(a.k.a. standard of care) alone. Conventional therapy included, but
was not limited to, debridement, saline-moistened gauze, and
pressure reducing footwear. The objective of the studies was to
compare the safety and efficacy of the dermaPACE device to
sham-control application. The prospectively defined primary
efficacy endpoint for the dermaPACE studies was the incidence of
complete wound closure at 12 weeks post-initial application of the
dermaPACE system (active or sham). Complete wound closure was
defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing
requirements, confirmed over two consecutive visits within
12-weeks. If the wound was considered closed for the first time at
the 12 week visit, then the next visit was used to confirm closure.
Investigators continued to follow subjects and evaluate wound
closure through 24 weeks.
The dermaPACE device completed its initial Phase
III, IDE clinical trial in the United States for the treatment of
diabetic foot ulcers in 2011 and a PMA application was filed with
the FDA in July 2011. The patient enrollment for the second,
supplemental clinical trial began in June 2013. We completed
enrollment for the 130 patients in this second trial in November
2014 and suspended further enrollment at that time.
The
only significant difference between the two studies was the number
of applications of the dermaPACE device. Study one (DERM01; n=206)
prescribed four (4) device applications/treatments over a two-week
period, whereas, study two (DERM02; n=130) prescribed up to eight
(8) device applications (4 within the first two weeks of
randomization, and 1 treatment every two weeks thereafter up to a
total of 8 treatments over a 10-week period). If the wound was
determined closed by the PI during the treatment regimen, any
further planned applications were not performed.
Between
the two studies there were over 336 patients evaluated, with 172
patients treated with dermaPACE and 164 control group subjects with
use of a non-functional device (sham). Both treatment groups
received wound care consistent with the standard of care in
addition to device application. Study subjects were enrolled using
pre-determined inclusion/exclusion criteria in order to obtain a
homogenous study population with chronic diabetes and a diabetic
foot ulcer that has persisted a minimum of 30 days and its area is
between 1cm2 and 16cm2, inclusive. Subjects
were enrolled at Visit 1 and followed for a run-in period of two
weeks. At two weeks (Visit 2 – Day 0), the first treatment
was applied (either dermaPACE or Sham Control application).
Applications with either dermaPACE or Sham Control were then made
at Day 3 (Visit 3), Day 6 (Visit 4), and Day 9 (Visit 5) with the
potential for 4 additional treatments in Study 2. Subject progress
including wound size was then observed on a bi-weekly basis for up
to 24 weeks at a total of 12 visits (Weeks 2-24; Visits
6-17).
A total
of 336 patients were enrolled in the dermaPACE studies at 37 sites.
The patients in the studies were followed for a total of 24 weeks.
The studies’ primary endpoint, wound closure, was defined as
“successful” if the skin was 100% re-epithelialized at
12 weeks without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two
consecutive study visits.
A
summary of the key study findings were as follows:
●
Patients treated
with dermaPACE showed a strong positive trend in the primary
endpoint of 100% wound closure. Treatment with dermaPACE increased
the proportion of diabetic foot ulcers that closed within 12 weeks,
although the rate of complete wound closure between dermaPACE and
sham-control at 12 weeks in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population
was not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level used
throughout the study (p=0.320). There were 39 out of 172 (22.67%)
dermaPACE subjects who achieved complete wound closure at 12 weeks
compared with 30 out of 164 (18.29%) sham-control
subjects.
●
In addition to the
originally proposed 12-week efficacy analysis, and in conjunction
with the FDA agreement to analyze the efficacy analysis carried
over the full 24 weeks of the study, we conducted a series of
secondary analyses of the primary endpoint of complete wound
closure at 12 weeks and at each subsequent study visit out to 24
weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint of complete wound closure
reached statistical significance at 20 weeks in the ITT population
with 61 (35.47%) dermaPACE subjects achieving complete wound
closure compared with 40 (24.39%) of sham-control subjects
(p=0.027). At the 24 week endpoint, the rate of wound closure in
the dermaPACE® cohort was 37.8% compared to 26.2% for the
control group, resulting in a p-value of 0.023.
●
Within 6 weeks
following the initial dermaPACE treatment, and consistently
throughout the 24-week period, dermaPACE significantly reduced the
size of the target ulcer compared with subjects randomized to
receive sham-control (p<0.05).
●
The proportion of
patients with wound closure indicate a statistically significant
difference between the dermaPACE and the control group in the
proportion of subjects with the target-ulcer not closed over the
course of the study (p-value=0.0346). Approximately 25% of
dermaPACE® subjects reached wound closure per the study
definition by day 84 (week 12). The same percentage in the control
group (25%) did not reach wound closure until day 112 (week 16).
These data indicate that in addition to the proportion of subjects
reaching wound closure being higher in the dermaPACE® group,
subjects are also reaching wound closure at a faster rate when
dermaPACE is applied.
●
dermaPACE
demonstrated superior results in the prevention of wound expansion
(≥ 10% increase in wound size), when compared to the control,
over the course of the study at 12 weeks (18.0% versus 31.1%;
p=0.005, respectively).
●
At 12 and 24 weeks,
the dermaPACE group had a higher percentage of subjects with a 50%
wound reduction compared to the control (p=0.0554 and p=0.0899,
respectively). Both time points demonstrate a trend towards
statistical significance.
●
The mean wound
reduction for dermaPACE subjects at 24 weeks was 2.10cm2 compared
to 0.83cm2 in the control group. There was a statistically
significant difference between the wound area reductions of the two
cohorts from the 6 week follow-up visit through the end of the
study.
●
Of the subjects who
achieved complete wound closure at 12 weeks, the recurrence rate at
24 weeks was only 7.7% in the dermaPACE group compared with 11.6%
in the sham-control group.
●
Importantly, there
were no meaningful statistical differences in the adverse event
rates between the dermaPACE treated patients and the sham-control
group. There were no issues regarding the tolerability of the
treatment which suggests that a second course of treatment, if
needed, is a clinically viable option.
We
retained Musculoskeletal Clinical Regulatory Advisers, LLC (MCRA)
in January 2015 to lead the Company’s interactions and
correspondence with the FDA for the dermaPACE, which have already
commenced. MCRA has successfully worked with the FDA on numerous
Premarket Approvals (PMAs) for various musculoskeletal, restorative
and general surgical devices since 2006.
Working
with MCRA, we submitted to FDA a de novo petition on July 23, 2016. Due
to the strong safety profile of our device and the efficacy of the
data showing statistical significance for wound closure for
dermaPACE subjects at 20 weeks, we believe that the dermaPACE
device should be considered for classification into Class II as
there is no legally marketed predicate device and there is not an
existing Class III classification regulation or one or more
approved PMAs (which would have required a reclassification under
Section 513(e) or (f)(3) of the FD&C Act). On December 28,
2017, the FDA determined that the criteria at section 513(a)(1)(A)
of (B) of the FD&C Act were met and granted the de novo clearance classifying dermaPACE
as Class II and available to be marketed immediately.
Finally, our
dermaPACE device has received the European CE Mark approval to
treat acute and chronic defects of the skin and subcutaneous soft
tissue, such as in the treatment of pressure ulcers, diabetic foot
ulcers, burns, and traumatic and surgical wounds. The dermaPACE is
also licensed for sale in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Korea.
We are
actively marketing the dermaPACE to the European Community, Canada
and Asia/Pacific, utilizing distributors in select
countries.
Financial Overview
Since
our inception, we have incurred losses from operations each year.
As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of
$114,541,440. Although the size and timing of our future operating
losses are subject to significant uncertainty, we anticipate that
our operating losses will continue over the next few years as we
incur expenses related to commercialization of our dermaPACE system
for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in the United
States. If we are able to successfully commercialize, market
and distribute the dermaPACE system, we hope to partially or
completely offset these losses in the future.
Our
operating losses create substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Although no assurances can be
given, we believe that potential additional issuances of equity,
debt or other potential financing will provide the necessary
funding for us to continue as a going concern for the next
year. See "Liquitiy and Capital Resources" for furher
information regarding our fianncial condition.
We
cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing and costs of the
efforts necessary to complete the development and approval of, or
the period in which material net cash flows are expected to be
generated from, any of our products, due to the numerous risks and
uncertainties associated with developing and marketing products,
including the uncertainty of:
●
the scope, rate of
progress and cost of our clinical trials;
●
future clinical
trial results;
●
the cost and timing
of regulatory approvals;
●
the establishment
of successful marketing, sales and distribution channels and
partnerships, including our efforts to expand our marketing, sales
and distribution reach through joint ventures and other contractual
arrangements;
●
the cost and timing
associated with establishing reimbursement for our
products;
●
the effects of
competing technologies and market developments; and
●
the industry demand
and patient wellness behavior.
Any
failure to complete the development of our product candidates in a
timely manner, or any failure to successfully market and
commercialize our product candidates, would have a material adverse
effect on our operations, financial position and liquidity. A
discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with us and
our business are set forth under the section entitled “Risk
Factors – Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed
with the SEC on March 29, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those
related to the recording of the allowances for doubtful accounts,
estimated reserves for inventory, estimated useful life of property
and equipment, the determination of the valuation allowance for
deferred taxes, the estimated fair value of the warrant liability,
and the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation. We base
our estimates on authoritative literature and pronouncements,
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. The results of our operations
for any historical period are not necessarily indicative of the
results of our operations for any future period.
While
our significant accounting policies are more fully described in
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements filed with our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,
filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018, we believe that the following
accounting policies relating to revenue recognition, research and
development costs, inventory valuation, liabilities related to
warrants issued, stock-based compensation and income taxes are
significant and; therefore, they are important to aid you in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial
results.
Revenue Recognition
Sales
of medical devices, including related applicators and applicator
kits, are recognized when shipped to the customer. Shipments under
agreements with distributors are invoiced at a fixed price, are not
subject to return, and payment for these shipments is not
contingent on sales by the distributor. We recognize revenues on
shipments to distributors in the same manner as with other
customers. The initial warranty and extended warranty on the sale
of medical devices will be deferred and recognized over time as the
performance obligation is satisfied. Fees from services performed
are recognized when the service is performed. License fee for
refurbishment of applicators will be recognized at the time the
customer is granted the license to refurbish the applicators.
Revenue will be calculated using the transaction price that
represents the most likely consideration to be received for the
license times the number of licenses issued. Fees for upfront
distribution license agreements will be recognized on a straight
line basis based on the payment schedule in the
contract.
Liabilities Related to Warrants Issued
We
record certain common stock warrants we issued at fair value and
recognize the change in the fair value of such warrants as a gain
or loss, which we report in the Other Income (Expense) section in
our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We report these
warrants at fair value and they are classified as liabilities
because they contain certain down-round provisions allowing for
reduction of their exercise price. We estimate the fair value of
these warrants using a binomial options pricing model.
Warrants Related to Debt Issued
We
record a warrant discount related to warrants issued with debt at
fair value and recognize the cost using the straight-line method
over the term of the related debt as interest expense, which we
report in the Other Income (Expense) section in our Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We report this warrant discount
as a reduction of the related debt liability.
Beneficial Conversion Feature on Convertible Debt
We
record a beneficial conversion feature related convertible debt at
fair value and recognize the cost using the straight-line method
over the term of the related debt as interest expense, which we
report in the Other Income (Expense) section in our Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We report this beneficial
conversion feature as a reduction of the related debt
liability.
Stock-based Compensation
The
Stock Incentive Plan provides that stock options, and other equity
interests or equity-based incentives, may be granted to key
personnel, directors and advisors at the fair value of the common
stock at the time the option is granted, which is approved by our
board of directors. The maximum term of any option granted pursuant
to the Stock Incentive Plan is ten years from the date of
grant.
The fair value of each option award is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The expected terms of options granted represent the
period of time that options granted are estimated to be outstanding
and are derived from the contractual terms of the options granted.
We amortize the fair value of each option over each option’s
vesting period.
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2018
and 2017 (Unaudited)
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Revenues for the
three months ended September 30, 2018 were $595,789, compared to
$161,585 for the same period in 2017, an increase of $434,204, or
269%. Revenues resulted primarily from higher sales in Southeast
Asia and Europe of our dermaPACE and orthoPACE devices and related
applicators. In addition, revenues for 2018 include revenue
recognized per Topic 606 from distribution licensing agreement in
Southeast Asia with our joint venture partner,
FKS.
Cost of
revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were
$183,594, compared to $61,684 for the same period in 2017. Gross
profit as a percentage of revenues was 69% for the three months
ended September 30, 2018, compared to 62% for the same period in
2017. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues in
2018 was mainly due to revenue from distribution licensing
agreements have zero cost.

development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018
were $661,736, compared to $266,837 for the same period in
2017, an increase of $394,899, or 148%. Research and development
costs include payments to third parties that relate to our products
in clinical development and employee costs (salaries, payroll
taxes, benefits, and travel) for employees of the regulatory
affairs, quality assurance, and research and development
departments. The increase in research and development expenses was
due to higher salary and benefit expenses related to new hires,
accrual of bonus, stock-based compensation expense related to stock
options issued in September 2018 and higher travel
costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2018 were $2,415,106, as compared to $475,377 for the same
period in 2017, an increase of $1,939,729, or 408%. The increase in
general and administrative expenses was due to increased headcount,
stock-based compensation expense related to stock options issued in
September 2018, higher travel costs, accrual of bonus, and higher
consultant fees related to the commercialization of
dermaPACE.
Other Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) was a net income of $1,845,214 the three months
ended September 30, 2018, as compared to a net expense of
$203,547 for the same period in 2017, an increase in other
income (expense) of $2,048,761. The increase in other income
(expense) for 2018 was mainly due to gain on warrant valuation
adjustment due to the decrease in stock price that was partially
offset by an increase in interest expense related to convertible
promissory notes.
Net Loss
Net
loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $825,142, or
($0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$851,325, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the same
period in 2017, a decrease in the net loss of $26,183. The decrease
in the net loss for 2018 was primarily due to gain on warrant
valuation adjustment which was partially offset by higher general
and administrative expenses as noted above as well as higher
interest expense related to convertible promissory
notes.
Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2018
and 2017 (Unaudited)
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $1,393,271, compared to
$422,199 for the same period in 2017, an increase of $971,072, or
230%. Revenues resulted primarily from sales in the United States
and Europe of our dermaPACE and orthoPACE devices and related
applicators. The increase in revenues for 2018 was due to the
higher sale of devices and both new and refurbished applicators in
the United States, Southeast Asia and Europe as compared to the
same period in 2017.
Cost of
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were
$515,703, compared to $141,523 for the same period in 2017. Gross
profit as a percentage of revenues was 63% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018, compared to 66% for the same period in
2017. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues in
2018 was due to the higher number of devices sold in 2018, which
have a lower gross margin than building new and refurbishing
applicators.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and
development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018
were $1,379,517, compared to $965,084 for the same period in
2017, an increase of $414,433, or 43%. Research and development
costs include payments to third parties that relate to our products
in clinical development and employee costs (salaries, payroll
taxes, benefits, and travel) for employees of the regulatory
affairs, quality assurance, and research and development
departments. The increase in research and development expenses was
due to increased salary and benefits related to new hires,
stock-based compensation expense for stock options issued to new
hires and in September 2018, accrual of bonus, and consulting fees
related to reimbursement strategy which was partially offset by
lower consultant costs related to the FDA submission and follow
up.
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2018 were $5,391,511, as compared to $1,875,891 for the same period
in 2017, an increase of $3,515,620, or 187%. The increase in
general and administrative expenses was due to the hiring of a
president and human resources director and the related stock-based
compensation expense for stock options issued, stock-based
compensation for options issued in September 2018, higher travel
costs, accrual of bonus, recruiting fees for open positions, higher
legal and accounting fees related to SEC filings and higher
consultant fees related to the commercialization of
dermaPACE.
Other Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) was a net expense of $3,656,693 the nine months
ended September 30, 2018, as compared to a net expense of
$182,952 for the same period in 2017, an increase in other
expense of $3,473,741. The increase in other expense for 2018 was
mainly due to interest expense related to convertible promissory
notes and notes payable, related party and was partially offset by
a gain on warrant valuation adjustment.
Net Loss
Net
loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $9,570,056,
or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$2,760,794, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, for the same
period in 2017, an increase in the net loss of $6,809,262. The
increase in the net loss for 2018 was primarily due to higher
general and administrative expenses as noted above as well as
higher interest expense related to convertible promissory
notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We
expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of
the dermaPACE System and will continue to research and develop the
non-medical uses of the PACE technology, both of which will require
additional capital resources. We incurred a net loss of $9,570,056
for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $5,537,936 for the
year ended December 31, 2017. These operating losses create
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Since inception in 2005, our operations have primarily
been funded from the sale of capital stock and convertible debt
securities.
On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a
line of credit agreement with A. Michael Stolarski, a member of the
Company's board of directors and an existing shareholder of the
Company. The agreement established a line of credit in the amount
of $370,000 with an annualized interest rate of 6%. On June 21,
2018, the Company made a payment of $144,500 on the line of credit.
On June 26, 2018, the amount of the line of credit was increased by
$280,500. The line of credit may be called for payment upon
demand.
On
November 12, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the
line of credit agreement with A. Michael Stolarski, a member of the
Company’s board of directors and an existing shareholder of
the Company. The line of credit was increased to $1,000,000 with an
annualized interest rate of 6%. The line of credit may be called
for payment upon demand of the holder. On October 5, 2018 and
October 23, 2018, the Company received $15,000 and $40,000,
respectively, as an increase in the line of
credit.
On January 26, 2018, the Company entered into a
Master Equipment Lease with NFS Leasing Inc. (“NFS”) to
provide financing for equipment purchases to enable the Company to
begin placing the dermaPACE System in the marketplace. This
agreement provides for a lease line of up to $1,000,000 with a term
of 36 months, and grants NFS a security interest in the Company's
accounts receivable, tangible and intangible personal property and
cash and deposit accounts of the Company. As of February 27,
2018, we were in default of Master Equipment Lease due to the sale
of equipment purchased under the Master Lease Agreement to a third
party and, as a result, the note is callable by NFS or NFS. could
have notified the Company to assemble all equipment for pick up.
The Master Equipment Lease was paid in full on June 27,
2018.
On June
26, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Johnfk Medical Inc. (“FKS”),
effective as of June 14, 2018, pursuant to which the Company and
FKS committed to enter into a joint venture for the manufacture,
sale and distribution of the Company’s dermaPACE and
orthoPACE devices. On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into
a joint venture agreement with FKS setting forth the terms of the
operation, management and control of a joint venture entity
initially with the name of Holistic Health Institute Pte. Ltd., a
private limited company to be incorporated in the Republic of
Singapore, but with such company name subject to confirmation by
Singapore Government. On November 9, 2018, the joint venture entity
was incorporated in the Republic of Singapore with the name of
Holistic Wellness Alliance Pte. Ltd. Under the terms of the June
2018 agreement, FKS paid the Company a fee of $500,000 on June 22,
2018 for initial distribution rights in Taiwan. We expect to
receive an additional fee of $500,000 for initial distribution
rights in the SEA Region in the fourth quarter of 2018 under the
June 2018 agreement.
During
the past two quarters, we have also entered into short term notes
payable with various individuals to fund our operations. As of
September 30, 2018, we had entered into short term notes payable in
the principal amount of $184,750, each with an interest rate of 5%
per annum and with principal and accrued interest due and payable
six months from the date of issuance. On October 10, 2018, we
entered into short term notes payable with Shri P. Parikh, the
President of the Company, in the total principal amount of $100,000
with an interest rate of 5% per annum. The principal and accrued
interest are due and payable on the earlier of (i) one day after
receipt of payment from FKS, (ii) six months from the date of
issuance and (iii) the acceleration of the maturity of the short
term note by the holder upon the occurrence of an event of
default. On Novmeber 8, 2018, the Company entered into short
term notes payable with two individuals in the total principal
amount of $160,667 with an interest rate of 10% per annum.
The principal and accrued interest are due and payable six months
from the date of issuance or receipt of notice of warrant
exercise.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon
raising additional capital during the fourth quarter of 2018 and
the first quarter of 2019 to fund operations. Management’s
plans are to obtain additional capital through investments by
strategic partners for market opportunities, which may include
strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements, or raise capital
through the conversion of outstanding warrants, including through
tender offers for the outstanding warrants, the issuance of common
or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or
secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the extent
available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to
our existing shareholders. Although no assurances can be
given, management believes that potential additional issuances of
equity or other potential financing transactions as discussed above
should provide the necessary funding for us. If these efforts are unsuccessful, we may be
forced to seek relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and
classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going
concern.
We may
also attempt to raise additional capital if there are favorable
market conditions or other strategic considerations even if we have
sufficient funds for planned operations. To the extent that we
raise additional funds by issuance of equity securities, our
shareholders will experience dilution and we may be required to use
some or all of the net proceeds to repay our indebtedness, and debt
financings, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or may
otherwise constrain our financial flexibility. To the extent that
we raise additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it
may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our intellectual
property or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
In addition, payments made by potential collaborators or licensors
generally will depend upon our achievement of negotiated
development and regulatory milestones. Failure to achieve these
milestones would harm our future capital position.
In addition, we may
have potential liability for certain issuances of shares of Common
Stock in possible violation of federal securities laws. The
issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying certain of our
warrants may have been in violation of the Section 5 of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations under the Securities
Act. Eligible warrantholders have not filed a claim against the
Company alleging a violation of the Section 5 of the Securities
Act, but they could file such a claim in the future. If a violation
of the Section 5 of the Securities Act did in fact occur, eligible
warrantholders, which the Company estimates represents fewer than
10 warrantholders, would have a right to rescind their exercises of
warrants and the Company may have to refund any cash amounts paid
for such exercises, which could have a materially adverse effect on
the Company’s financial condition.
Cash
and cash equivalents decreased by $657,873 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2018 and decreased by $93,345 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 and 2017, net cash used by operating activities
was $2,271,566 and $944,831, respectively, primarily consisting of
compensation costs, research and development activities and general
corporate operations. The increase of $1,326,735 in the use of cash
for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2018, as compared to the same period for 2017, was primarily due to
the increased operating expenses and increased receivables in 2018.
Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 consisted of purchase of property and equipment
of $32,171. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2018 was $1,663,063, which consisted of
$1,159,785 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes,
$38,528 from the exercise of warrants, $136,000 net increase in
line of credit, $184,750 from the issuance of short term notes
payable and $144,000 from an advance from related party. Net cash
provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 was $844,683, which consisted of $751,616 from
advances from related parties and $93,067 from exercise of
warrants.
Segment and Geographic Information
We have
determined that we have one operating segment. Our revenues are
generated from sales in United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and
Asia/Pacific. All significant expenses are generated in the United
States and all significant assets are located in the United
States.
Contractual Obligations
Our
major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our operating
lease for our facility, purchase and supplier obligations for
product component materials and equipment, and our notes payable,
related parties. We have disclosed these obligations in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2017, as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since
inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities,
including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities
or variable interest entities.
Effects of Inflation
Due to
the fact that our assets are, to an extent, liquid in nature, they
are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of
inflation affects such expenses as employee compensation, office
space leasing costs and research and development charges, which may
not be readily recoverable during the period of time that we are
bringing the product candidates to market. To the extent inflation
results in rising interest rates and has other adverse effects on
the market, it may adversely affect our consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Not
required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting
companies”.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including its
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Acting Chief
Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial
Officer (principal financial officer and accounting officer), of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Based on this
evaluation, the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not operating effectively as of September 30, 2018 because of the
“material weaknesses” described below. Such material
weaknesses have not yet been fully remediated and continue to
impact the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures.
A
“material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal
controls. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on March 29,
2018, management concluded that as of December 31, 2017 we had
three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting process. The first material weakness was due to the lack
of internal expertise and resources to analyze and properly apply
generally accepted accounting principles to complex and non-routine
transactions such as complex financial instruments and derivatives
and complex sales distribution agreements. The second material
weakness was due to the lack of internal resources to analyze and
properly apply generally accepted accounting principle to
accounting for equity components of service agreements with select
vendors. The third material weakness was due to the lack of
internal expertise and resources to ensure that generally accepted
accounting principle disclosures are complete and accurate.
All three of these material weaknesses continue to exist as of
September 30, 2018. As a result, management concluded that our
internal control over reporting was not effective as of September
30, 2018.
Management
believes the material weaknesses identified above were due to the
complex and non-routine nature of the Company’s complex
financial instruments and derivatives and complexity of new sales
distribution agreements, as well as lack of internal resources and
expertise.
Management’s Plan to Remediate Material
Weaknesses
Management
will develop an updated remediation plan to address the material
weaknesses related to its processes and procedures surrounding the
accounting for complex financial instruments and derivatives,
accounting for complex sales distribution agreements, accounting
for equity component of service agreements and ensuring that
generally accepted accounting principle disclosures are complete
and accurate. The updated remediation plan could consist of, among
other things, redesigning the procedures to enhance their
identification, capture, review, approval and recording of terms
and components of complex financial instruments and derivatives,
complex sales distribution agreements, and any equity components of
service agreements as well as identify necessary disclosures.
Management will research where to obtain additional interpretive
guidance on identifying and accounting for these identified areas
of material weakness as well as engage, as necessary, an outside
consultant to assist in the application of United States GAAP to
these areas. The updated remediation plan will be reviewed by the
Board of Director’s and be implemented upon the board’s
approval. These measures are intended both to address the
identified material weaknesses and to enhance our overall internal
control environment.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report that
materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting. Management is in the
process of designing updated changes to its controls as discussed
above in “Management’s Plan to Remediate Material
Weaknesses.”
