NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “Bovie,“Apyx,” and similar terms refer to BovieApyx Medical Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are a medical technology company and the developer of J-Plasma® (marketed and sold under the Renuvion™ Cosmetic Technology brand in the cosmetic surgery market), a patented plasma-based surgical product for cutting, coagulation and ablation of soft tissue. J-Plasma technology utilizes a helium ionization process to produce a stable, focused beam of plasma that provides surgeons with greater precision and minimal invasiveness. The Company also leverages its expertise through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.

On August 30, 2018, we closed on a definitive asset purchase agreement with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which we divested and sold our electrosurgical "Core" business segment and related intellectual property, including the Bovie® brand and trademarks, to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash. The divestiture and sale of our Core business segment to Symmetry allows us to further focus on our strategic objective of commercializing our J-Plasma technology, including the RenuvionTM brand in the cosmetic surgery market. We also entered into with Symmetry a transition services agreement, a Patent Licensing Agreement, a Disposables Supply Agreement, and a Generator Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, the latter of which will establish us as an OEM-provider of generators to Symmetry for a period of at least 10 years.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Core sales amounted to $6.5 million with cost of sales of $3.7 million and related operating expenses of $0.9 million, which are included in income from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we also entered into an Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for up to a four-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain Core products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Any revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are netted and reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other gains or losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Core sales following the divestiture amounted to $2.2 million with cost of sales of $2.1 million and related operating expenses of $0.1 million, which are included in other losses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we also entered into a Manufacture and Supply Agreement with Symmetry for a ten-year term, whereby we will manufacture certain products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are reported in our Consolidated Statements as income or loss from operations of our OEM reporting segment.

We reclassified the financial results of the Core business to discontinued operations and from segment results for all periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, please refer to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

On July 9, 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which the Company will divest and sell the Core business segment, including the Bovie® brand and trademarks to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash. The asset purchase agreement was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, and expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Company is retaining and will continue to operate its Advanced Energy and OEM businesses, its facilities in Clearwater, FL and Sofia, Bulgaria, and certain intellectual property related to specialty generators.

With respect to our trademark and brand name, we continue to market products, release new products and product extensions and maintain and promote these trademarks and brand name in the marketplace through legal registration and such methods as advertising, medical education and trade shows. Based on our annual impairment testing performed, these trademarks and brand names will generate cash flow for an indefinite period of time. Therefore, we believe our trademarks and brand name intangible assets are not impaired. Goodwill results from our acquisition of BovieApyx (formerly known as Bovie) Bulgaria, EOOD.

Amortization of purchased technology was $27,000 and $54,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization expense is classified within selling, general and administration expensesEOOD in the consolidated statements of operations.2015.

NOTE 4.     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The purpose of this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. It eliminates the need for entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under this ASU, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, however we have chosen not to do so. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash Flows provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which are now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. Using the retrospective transition method required under the standard, the Company has adjusted the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 did not have any other impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table provides additional detail by financial statement line item of the ASU 2016-18 impact in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

ASU No. 2014-09 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2018, and we adopted the new accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach recognized any changes from the beginning of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods. We record revenue under ASC 606 at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. Based on the results of the evaluation, we have determined that the adoption of the new standard presents no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Application of the transition requirements of the new standard did not have a material impact on opening retained earnings. We have disaggregated revenue by segment and geography in Note 11 Geographic and Segment Information.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842), which became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. This new standard requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis, and classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Disclosures are required to provide the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In accordance with the standard, we took a modified retrospective transition approach and included the $178,000 right of use asset and corresponding liabilities in our property plant and equipment, accrued expenses and long term lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The lease is also represented in our consolidated statement of cash flows as a non cash investing activity.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 5.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding. The following table provides the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 7.     INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expensebenefit was $13,000 and $24,000$124,000 with an effective tax rate of 0.0%-3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, as compared to $4,000 and $9,000an expense of $11,000, with an effective tax rate of 0.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax assets with a finite life.

As a resultassets., and an adjustment to an over accrual, of historical losses,$130,000 in the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred2018 tax asset with a finite life and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the realizationaccrual, offset by foreign taxes of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable. Management expects the gain from the sale of the Core business segment to Symmetry will utilize substantially all of the historical loss carryforwards and the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset will be reversed during the third quarter of 2018, when the transaction is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we do not believe we had any significant uncertain tax positions nor did we have any interest or penalties related to any significant uncertain tax positions.$6,000.

Property and Rental Agreements

In March 2014, we signed a lease for offices located in Purchase, New York. We decided to consolidate operations in the Purchase, NY office with the facility in Clearwater, Florida. Based on this, we determined the office in Purchase, NY was no longer necessary and decided to cease all activity at the location. The remaining $119,000 of the lease was expensed in the fourth quarter of 2017 as part of severance and related expense. These remaining payments expensed in 2017 will be operational cash outflows in 2018 and 2019.

In October 2015, pursuant to our acquisition of BovieApyx Bulgaria, we arebecame obligated to pay amake lease payments of $6,006approximately $9,000 per month expiring in December 2021, for 18,745approximately 20,000 square feet of office, research and manufacturing space in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Litigation

The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and we are and may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, and with respect to our products and product liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings.

We are involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our J-Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are adequately covered by insurance, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on our financial condition. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

In addition, as previously disclosed with the Commission on Form 8-K filed April 26, 2019, we have learned that on April 17, 2019, a complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida by plaintiff Kyle Pritchard, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated against the Company and Charles D. Goodwin (“Goodwin”), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Complaint (which as of the date hereof has not been delivered through formal process to the Company) seeks class action status on behalf of all persons and entities that acquired the Company’s securities between August 1, 2018 and April 1, 2019 and alleges violations by the Company and Goodwin of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, primarily related to certain public statements concerning the Premarket Notification 510(k) submission made to the US Food and Drug Administration for a new indication for the Company’s J-Plasma® technology for use in dermal resurfacing procedures. The Complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages.

Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty, the Company believes that the allegations stated in the Complaint are entirely without merit. The Company and Goodwin intend to defend themselves vigorously in the suit. Such claims are adequately covered by insurance, however, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with this claim could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows. Under the deductible portion of our insurance coverage, we have accrued $0.5 million for initial defense costs.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, we accrue a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded, actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTE 10.     LONG TERM DEBT

On June 28, 2016, the Company entered into a transaction with Bank of Tampa, a Florida banking corporation (“Lender”), wherein Lender amended the terms of a mortgage loan (“the Loan”) originally executed on March 20, 2014 with a principal amount of $3,592,000. The Initial Maturity Date of the Loan was extended to July 20, 2019 from March 19, 2017, and the Extended Maturity Date was amended to July 20, 2024 from March 20, 2022. In addition, the Lender released as collateral to the Loan, the Company’s working capital accounts in exchange for a negative covenant limited to $2,000,000 of the aggregate indebtedness secured by these accounts.

The obligations under the Loan are secured by a first mortgage and security interest in the Company’s Clearwater, Florida facility. In addition, the Company has pledged an interest in a certificate of deposit in the amount of $660,000 as additional collateral. The amount of the additional collateral required declines on a pro rata basis as principal is paid.

Borrowings under the Loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%, with a fixed monthly principal payment of $19,956. The interest rate at June 30, 2018 was 5.501%.

The Loan documents contain customary financial covenants, including a covenant that the Company maintains a minimum liquidity, as defined, of $750,000. Should we desire to extend the Loan beyond July 20, 2019, we must maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio for each of the preceding four quarters of not less than 1.0 to 1.0.

NOTE 11.     GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors.

Our reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as threetwo operating segments: Core, OEM and Advanced Energy. We adopted reportable segments to align with changes in how we manage our business, review operating performance and allocate resources as a result of the growth in Advanced Energy and the differing behavior of the Core and OEM product lines. The CorporateOEM. "Corporate & Other categoryOther" includes certain unallocated corporate operational, research and development and marketingadministrative costs which were not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. Net assets are shared, therefore, not allocated to the reportable segments. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred.

NOTE 12.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 9, 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which the Company will divest and sell the Core business segment, including the Bovie® brand and trademarks to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash. The asset purchase agreement was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, and expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The Company is retaining and will continue to operate its Advanced Energy and OEM businesses, its facilities in Clearwater, FL and Sofia, Bulgaria, and certain intellectual property related to specialty generators.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company concluded that the planned divestitures did not meet the criteria for assets held for sale – discontinued operations set forth in ASC No. 205–20, “Presentation of Financial Statements,” as stockholder approval is required prior to closing of the planned divestiture. The Company continues to classify these businesses in its continuing operations for all periods presented.

Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors.

Our reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as threetwo operating segments: Core, OEM and Advanced Energy. We adopted reportable segments to align with changes in how we manage our business, review operating performance and allocate resources as a result of the growth in Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which are not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. Net assets are shared, therefore, not allocated to the differing behavior of the Core and OEM product lines.

Our gross profit increased by 21.6% or approximately $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared to 2017. Increased revenue in the Advanced Energy segment was the primary contributor to the increase in gross profit.  Partially offsetting these gains is the impact of unfavorable manufacturing variances in the Core segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

We have components and finished goods manufactured in China and imported to the United States. The Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) has imposed new tariffs on the import of a number of products into the United States from China. Management is currently assessing the potential impacts of the new duties on our products and intend to use our best efforts to mitigate the potential impacts and protect our competitive position in the marketplace.

Interest expense, netincome

Total net interest expense increased, due to aincome was higher LIBOR rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, as compared with the comparable periods2018. This increase is primarily related to short term investments in 2017.

Change in fair value of liabilities, net

On December 13, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant toU.S. Treasury Securities which we issued 3,500,000 sharespurchased with the proceeds from the sale of our newly designated Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $2.00 per share and 5,250,000 warrants to purchase our common stock, at an exercise price of $2.387 per share. We also issued 525,000 warrants to the placement agent, of which 40,000 have a strike price of $2.387 and remain outstanding as of June 30,Core business in September 2018. The warrants are accounted for as derivative financial instruments at fair value and are re-valued each period.

As of June 30, 2018, all remaining warrants were converted to common stock and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 we recognized a net loss of $20,000.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expensebenefit was $13,000 and $24,000$124,000 with an effective tax rate of 0.0%-3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, as compared to $4,000 and $9,000an expense of $11,000, with an effective tax rate of 0.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax assets, withand an adjustment to an over accrual, of $130,000 in the 2018 tax accrual, offset by foreign taxes of $6,000.

As a finite life.result of historical losses exclusive of discontinued operations and the Company’s expectation to continue to generate losses in the near future, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of the operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable.


Product Development

We have developed most of our products and product improvements internally. Funds for this development have come primarily from our internal cash flow and equity issuances. We maintain close working relationships with physicians and medical personnel in hospitals and universities who assist in product research and development. New and improved products play a critical role in our sales growth. We continue to emphasize the development of proprietary products and product improvements to complement and expand our existing product lines. Our research and development team members are based in our Clearwater, Florida office and our facility in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Reliance on Collaborative, Manufacturing and Selling Arrangements

We manufacture the majority of our products on our premises in Clearwater, Florida and in Sofia, Bulgaria. Labor-intensive sub-assemblies and labor-intensive products may be out-sourced to our specification. Although we sell through distributors, we market our products through national trade journal advertising, direct mail, distributor sales representatives and trade shows, under the Bovie name and private label. Major distributors include Cardinal Health, Independent Medical Co-Op Inc. (IMCO), McKesson Medical Surgical, Inc., Medline, National Distribution and Contracting Inc. (NDC) and Owens & Minor. If any of these distributor relationships are terminated or not replaced, our revenue from the territories served by these distributors could be adversely affected.

We are also dependent onperform development services for OEM customers who have no legal obligation to purchase products from us. Should such customers fail to give us purchase orders for the product after development, our future business and value of related assets could be negatively affected. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that such customers will give sufficient high priority to our products. Finally, disagreements or disputes may arise between us and our customers, which could adversely affect production and salesAdditionally, we will function as an OEM-provider of our products.generators to Symmetry for a period of at least 10 years.

We also have collaborative arrangements with threetwo key foreign suppliers under which we request the development of certain items and components, and we purchase them pursuant to purchase orders. Our purchase order commitments are never more than one year in duration and are supported by our sales forecasts. The majority of our raw materials are purchased from sole-source suppliers. While we believe we could ultimately procure other sources for these components, should we experience any significant disruptions in this key supply chain, there are no assurances that we could do so in a timely manner which could render us unable to meet the demands of our customers, resulting in a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 30, 2018,we sold our Core business segment and other related assets for $97 million in cash. At December 31, 2018, we had approximately $78 million in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments, after making estimated Federal and State tax payments of $13.3 million. Our working capital at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was approximately $16.0$77.8 million compared with $16.6$81.8 million at December 31, 2017. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 42 days and 48 days at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The number of days sales in inventory, which is the total inventory available for production divided by the 12-month average cost of materials, decreased 22 days to 157 days equating to an inventory turn ratio of 2.10 at June 30, 2018 from 179 days and an inventory turn ratio of 2.00 at June 30, 2017. The lower number of days sales in inventory is mainly due to an increase in sales against flat inventory balances compared to June 30, 2017.2018.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we have adopted various accounting policies. Our most significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed on March 13, 2018.14, 2019.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to inventories, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, legal proceedings, research and development, warranty obligations, product liability, fair valued liabilities, sales returns and discounts, stock basedstock-based compensation and income taxes are updated as appropriate, which in most cases is at least quarterly. We base our estimates on historical experience, or various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and the results form the basis for making judgments about the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Our critical accounting estimates include the following:

Inventory reserves

We maintain a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory resulting from the potential inability to sell our products at prices in excess of current carrying costs. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, with new products and surgical procedures introduced on an ongoing basis. Such marketplace changes may cause our products to become obsolete. We make estimates regarding the future recoverability of the costs of these products and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based on historical experience and expected future trends. If actual product life cycles, product demand or acceptance of new product introductions are less favorable than projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required, which would unfavorably affect future operating results.

Long-lived assets

We review long-lived assets which are held and used, including property and equipment, and intangible assets, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such evaluations compare the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its expected useful life and are significantly impacted by estimates of future prices and volumes for our products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors that are inherently difficult to forecast. If the asset is considered to be impaired, we record an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique.

Stock-based Compensation

Under our stock option plan, options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted to key employees, officers and directors of the Company by the Board of Directors. The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation, with compensation expense amortized over the vesting period based on the trinomial lattice option-pricing model fair value on the grant date, which includes a number of estimates that affect the amount of our expense.

We are involved in a number of legal actions relatingnotes to the useconsolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of our J-Plasma technology. The outcomes ofa loss to be recorded, actual results may differ from these legal actions are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are adequately covered by insurance, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on our financial condition. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.estimates.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, state and local income taxes currently payable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted marginal tax rates. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period.

We haveAs a result of historical losses exclusive of discontinued operations and the Company’s expectation to continue to generate losses in the near future, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net operating lossdeferred tax asset and does not anticipate recording an income tax credit carry forwards available in certain jurisdictionsbenefit related to reduce future taxable income. Futurethese deferred tax benefits for net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards are recognized toassets. The Company will reassess the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. This determination is based on the expectation that related operations will be sufficiently profitable or variousdeferred tax businessassets each reporting period and other planning strategies will enable us to utilize the operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. We cannot be assured that we will be able to realize these futurereduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of continuing operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax benefitsassets will be realizable.

We assess the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that future valuation allowancesis more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be required. Torecognized in the extent that available evidence raises sufficient doubt about the realization of a deferred income tax asset, a valuation allowance is established.

It is our policy to provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefitfinancial statements unless it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. To the extent that the probable tax outcome of these uncertain tax positions changes, such changes in estimate will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determinationbeing sustained.

The Company is made. At June 30, 2018, we believe we have appropriately accounted for any unrecognized tax positions. To the extent we prevail in matters for which a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit is established or we are required to pay amounts in excess of the liability, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be affected.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For our disclosures about market risk, please see Part II, Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. We believe there have been no material changes to the information provided therein.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out anOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation underof effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer, (“CFO”),management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended),Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018.December 31, 2018, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based uponon that evaluation, our CEO and CFOmanagement concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, the endCompany's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of the material weaknesses described below.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 was audited by Frazier & Deeter, LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in Part II, Item 8 of our most recent Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018, contains an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that period, our disclosurethere is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have identified three material weaknesses: (i) an ineffective control environment due to a lack of sufficient qualified accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience with generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) ineffective control activities due to the lack of documentation and timeliness in executing business process controls, and (iii) ineffective monitoring controls to ascertain whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.
As of March 31, 2019, we continue our remediation efforts related to these deficiencies.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses

We continue to make further enhancements to our control environment by improving documentation of internal controls, guidance in the performance of those controls, communication of expectations, and emphasis on the importance of internal controls. In addition, we continue to make improvements to the level of detail in our risk assessment and clarity of the linkage between risks and internal controls.

We continue to improve upon our risk assessment procedures and the timeliness of those procedures and continue to make progress towards addressing the weaknesses in information and communication beginning the process to better identify, document, and assess information used when performing internal controls.

We also are working to further enhance our policies, procedures, and controls for all key processes, which includes the training of personnel to ensure consistent application of accounting principles and adherence to the Company’s policies, procedures, and controls. We will also be implementing enhanced monitoring procedures to allow for more effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information requiredmonitoring of compliance.

We will continue to be disclosed bywork with third-party specialists, and we have retained a firm to assist us in our remediation efforts. We will also review, document, and (as needed) supplement our controls, with the reports that we filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Ingoal of designing and evaluatingimplementing controls that not only better address both the accuracy and precision of management's review, but also enhance our disclosureability to manage our business.

Management believes the steps outlined above, when fully implemented, will remediate the material weaknesses described above. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and management will continue to monitor the implementation of these remediation measures and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.over financial reporting on an ongoing basis.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f)) during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.     Other Information

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and we are and may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, and with respect to our products and product liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings.

We are involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our J-Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are adequately covered by insurance, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on our financial condition. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

In addition, as previously disclosed with the Commission on Form 8-K filed April 26, 2019, we have learned that on April 17, 2019, a complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida by plaintiff Kyle Pritchard, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated against the Company and Charles D. Goodwin (“Goodwin”), the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Complaint (which as of the date hereof has not been delivered through formal process to the Company) seeks class action status on behalf of all persons and entities that acquired the Company’s securities between August 1, 2018 and April 1, 2019 and alleges violations by the Company and Goodwin of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, primarily related to certain public statements concerning the Premarket Notification 510(k) submission made to the US Food and Drug Administration for a new indication for the Company’s J-Plasma® technology for use in dermal resurfacing procedures. The Complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages.

Although the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined with certainty, the Company believes that the allegations stated in the Complaint are entirely without merit. The Company and Goodwin intend to defend themselves vigorously in the suit. Such claims are adequately covered by insurance, however, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with this claim could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, we accrue a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded.
