Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue: Increased 2% ($6,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. Six-month revenue increased 12% ($41,000).
- Gross Margin: Significantly contracted. Gross profit margin dropped from 79% to 14% (Q3) and from 76% to 23% (YTD). This was primarily due to a steep discount on $112,000 of product sales to a new distributor in Q2 2020.
- Operating Expenses:
- R&D: Decreased significantly (89% drop in Q3) due to the cessation of clinical trials and staff furloughs related to COVID-19.
- Selling & Marketing: Decreased 34% in Q3 due to reduced travel and salary reductions.
- G&A: Increased 92% in Q3 compared to 2019, driven largely by a $918,750 settlement with a consultant (Bespoke Growth Partners), partially offset by lower professional fees.
- Net Loss: Net loss increased 33% for the three-month period but decreased 37% for the six-month period compared to 2019, largely due to the absence of significant non-cash warrant modification expenses and derivative liability losses recorded in 2019.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Going Concern: Management has raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Current resources are insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months without additional financing.
- Financing: The company raised $200,000 via a related-party note and $42,000 via the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020. Further capital raises are required.
- NASDAQ Delisting: The company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement ($2.5 million). A hearing was scheduled for September 10, 2020, to appeal a delisting determination. Failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting.
- Legal Proceedings: A former officer/director is suing for approximately $900,000. A court order restricted approximately $350,000 of company funds (recorded as restricted cash) pending resolution. Mediation failed, and the matter is likely to proceed to trial.
- Cybersecurity: In June 2020, a phishing incident resulted in customers sending ~$308,000 to unauthorized accounts. All funds were recovered by July 2020.
- COVID-19 Impact: Caused production delays (manufacturer in China) and regulatory delays (CE approval in Italy), though operations have resumed. The pandemic has also necessitated staff furloughs.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Cash Runway: Verify the timeline and terms of any new financing required to sustain operations beyond the current restricted cash balance.
- NASDAQ Status: Monitor the outcome of the September 10, 2020, hearing regarding the delisting appeal and the company's plan to meet the $2.5 million equity requirement.
- Legal Exposure: Track the status of the lawsuit filed by Jona Zumeris and the potential impact of the $900,000 claim on future liquidity.
- Revenue Quality: Assess the sustainability of revenue given the recent shift to high-volume, low-margin distributor sales and the discontinuation of the specific discounted distributor agreement.
- Internal Controls: Note the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting and the ongoing remediation efforts following the cybersecurity incident.
