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 Renuvion® 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.

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 June 30, 2019, Core sales following the divestiture amounted to $2.1 million with cost of sales of $2.3 million and related operating expenses of $0.0 million, which are included in other losses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Core sales following the divestiture amounted to $4.4 million with cost of sales of $4.5 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.

NOTE 2.     DISPOSITION OF THE CORE BUSINESS

On August 30, 2018, we closed on a previously disclosed definitive asset purchase agreement with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which the Company divested and sold the Company's electrosurgical "Core" business segment and related intellectual property, including the Bovie® brand and trademarks, to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for 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.

Additionally, in connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed 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.

NOTE 5.4.     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 iswill 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 1311 Geographic and Segment Information. Based

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 current statebalance 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. The determination of the discount rate used to calculate net present value is based on what we would normally pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term. 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 $394,000 right of use asset and corresponding liabilities in our business, management does not seeproperty 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 material reason to disaggregate further.

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 8.7.     INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax benefit from continuing operationsexpense (benefit) was $2.4 million$76,000 and $2.4 million$(48,000) with an effective tax rate of 82.9%-1.7% and 26.4%0.3% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to an expense of $6,000$13,000, and $15,000$24,000 with an effective tax rate of 0.0%-3.2% and -1.8%, for the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in the Company’s tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily due to the Company’s ability to offset the 2018 operating loss from continuing operations against the taxable income generated by the extraordinary gain recognized by the income and asset sale reflected in discontinued operations.

The Company recognized tax expense of $0.3 million and $1.2 million within net income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized tax expense of $13.2 million and $15.5 million within the gain on sale of the Core Business for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, respectively.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to Symmetry will utilize substantially allunrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the historical Federal net operating loss carryover of $24.7 million, state(s) net operating loss carryover of $21.2 million, and research and development credit carryover of $1.3 million. As a result, the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets was released during the third quarter of 2018 andJune 30, 2019, the Company recorded ahad approximately $53,000 in accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefitbenefits. If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, the resulting impact will be material as the Company will recognize $1.366 million of $7.8 million from the release of the valuation allowance. The tax benefit of $7.8 million is netted against the tax expenses within net income from discontinued operations and within the gain from asset sales. Pursuant to guidance under ASC 740, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, continuing operations includes a current benefit of $2.4 million, which reflects the Company’s ability to fully utilize the net operating loss expected to be generated from continuing operationsbenefits in the 2018 tax year.

NOTE 9.8.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Property and Rental Agreements

In March 2014, we signed a lease for offices located in Purchase, New York. In December 2017, 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. In August 2018 we negotiated a termination of the remainder of the lease, releasing us from any future obligation.

In October 2015, pursuant to our acquisition of BovieApyx Bulgaria, we arebecame obligated to pay amake lease payments of $5,980approximately $9,000 per month expiring in December 2021, for 18,745approximately 20,000 square feet of office, research and manufacturing space in Sofia, Bulgaria. During Q2 2019, the lease was extended for an additional 2 years. The building lease expires in December 2022.

With the adoption of ASC 842 we recognize all leases with terms greater than twelve months in duration on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Apyx Bulgaria building lease is disclosed as a right-of-use asset and is included in the property, plant, and equipment totals on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 compensatory damages, an award of interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs, and equitable relief as the court may deem just and proper.  On July 16, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff for the putative class and approved the lead plaintiff’s selection of counsel.

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.


Purchase Commitments

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had purchase commitments for inventories totaling approximately $5.4$3.4 million, substantially all of which is expected to be purchased by the end of 2018.2019.

The original purchase of U.S. Treasury bills occurred in September 2018, utilizing the proceeds from the sale of our Core business.

(3) ASC 825-10 Financial Instruments, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings within interest income at each subsequent reporting date. At the date of purchase, the Company elected the fair value option for all investments with maturities of three months or greater at the time of purchase.

NOTE 13.11.     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: Advanced Energy OEM and CorporateOEM. "Corporate & Other. The Corporate & Other categoryOther" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative 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. Income (loss) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2019 was labeled "Net income" instead of "Income (loss) from continuing operations". As a result, income (loss) from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2019 was $(3.4) million for Advanced Energy, $0.8 million for OEM, $(2.6) million for Corporate, and $(5.2) million in total.

Summarized financial information with respect to reportable segments is as follows:

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors discussed in this report and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent beliefs and assumptions as of the date of this report. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements and at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Executive Level Overview

Bovie Medical Corporation (“Company”, “Bovie Medical”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) was incorporated in 1982, under the laws of the State of Delaware and has its principal executive office at 5115 Ulmerton Road, Clearwater, FL 33760.

We are a medical technology company and the developer of J-Plasma® (marketed and sold under the Renuvion™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 CompanyWe also leverages itsleverage our expertise through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.

During 2019, we continue our full-scale commercialization efforts for Renuvion®. As of June 30, 2019, we had a direct sales force of 29 field-based selling professionals and a network of 6 independent sales agencies.  We also had 4 sales managers.  This selling organization is focused on the use of Renuvion in the cosmetic surgery market. In addition, we have invested in training programs and marketing-related activities to support accelerated adoption of Renuvion.

International sales represented approximately 30.9% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared with 19.8% of total revenues in the prior year. International sales represented approximately 30.2% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared with 19.3% of total revenues in the prior year. Management estimates our products have been sold in more than 40 countries through local dealers coordinated by sales and marketing personnel at the Clearwater, Florida facility.

As previously disclosed with the Commission on Form 8-K filed on April 4, 2019, we announced on April 1, 2019, that we voluntarily withdrew our application for premarket notification 510(k) regulatory clearance of our J-Plasma®/Renuvion® technology for use in dermal resurfacing procedures. While this is a delay in our commercialization efforts, we remain committed to working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration relative to the development of a new 510(k) submission for use in dermal resurfacing procedures.

On August 30, 2018, we closed on a previously disclosed definitive asset purchase agreement ("the Asset Purchase Agreement") with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which the Companywe divested and sold the Company'sour 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. The Company and SymmetryWe also entered into a transition services agreement, Patent Licensing Agreement, a patent licensing agreement, a disposables supply agreementDisposables Supply Agreement, and a generator manufacturingGenerator Manufacturing and supply agreement,Supply Agreement, the latter of which will establish the Companyus as an OEM-provider of generators to Symmetry for a period of at least 10 years.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement,Asset Purchase Agreement, we entered into a previously disclosedan 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.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement,Asset Purchase Agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed 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.

During 2018, we continued our full scale commercialization efforts for Renuvion. We have a direct sales force of 19 field-based selling professionals and a network of 11 independent sales agencies, resulting in a field sales team of more than 40 representatives. This selling organization is focused on the use of Renuvion in the cosmetic surgery market. In addition, we have invested in training programs and marketing-related activities to support accelerated adoption of Renuvion.

International sales represented approximately 24.8% and 21.2% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared with 16.6% and 11.5% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 68.1%, compared to 68.7% for the same period. The primary drivers of the decrease in gross profit margin were Advanced Energy product mix and Advanced Energy sales outside the U.S., which represented a higher mix of total sales in 2019. OEM gross margins were lower in the second quarter of 2019 when compared to the prior year, driven primarily by revenue related to our new Product, Manufacturing, and Supply agreements with Symmetry, which did not contribute to revenue results.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2019, increased approximately $3.4 million, or 72.5% year-over-year, to $8.2 million, compared to $4.7 million in the prior year. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was 66.1%, compared to 67.0% for the same periodperiod. The primary drivers of 2017. Thethe decrease was driven by lower margins in gross profit margin were Advanced Energy due to product mix and increasedAdvanced Energy sales growthoutside the U.S., which represented a higher mix of total sales in international markets where we sell at2019 compared to last year. OEM gross margins were lower margins through a network of distributors, offsetting higher domestic selling prices and manufacturing efficiencies. Additionally, margins decreased in the OEM segment when compared to 2017.

Our gross margin increased by 2.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,second quarter of 2019 when compared to the sameprior year period, of 2017. The increase was driven primarily by higher margins in the OEM segment when compared to 2017. Additionally, the Advanced Energy segment margins expanded due to increases in pricing mix partially offset by increased sales growth in international markets where we sell at lower margins through a network of distributors.

In conjunction with the previously disclosed divestment of our electrosurgical Core business segment we performed a review of our standard costs, including the composition of our overhead cost pools. As a result, we reclassified certain overhead costsrevenue related to qualityour new Product, Manufacturing, and regulatorySupply agreements with Symmetry, which did not contribute to Salaries and Related Costs, in the amount of $62,000. This change in estimate is necessary in order to better reflect the change in operations to our Advanced Energy segment.revenue results.

As a result, we reclassified certain overhead costs related to quality and regulatory to Salaries and Related Costs, in the amount of approximately $62,000. This change in estimate is necessary in order to better reflect the change in operations to our Advanced Energy segment.2018.

Interest income

Total interest income was higher for the ninethree and six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared with the prior year. This increase is primarily related to short term investments in U.S. Treasury Securities which we purchased with the proceeds received from the sale of the Core business in September 2018.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) was $76,000 and $(48,000) with an effective tax rate of -1.7% and 0.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 respectively, as compared to an expense of $13,000, and $24,000 with an effective tax rate of -3.2% and -1.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, when comparedrespectively. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to 2017. The increase was driven by consultingthe change in the Advanced Energy segment, sales commissions, bank service charges and technology upgrades, slightly offset by reductions in sample expense.valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

Net interest income resulted from realized and unrealized interest on cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities, offset by interest paid on our mortgage to the Bank of Tampa until extinguishment on August 30, 2018.

Change in fair value of liabilities, net

On December 13, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which we issued 3,500,000 shares 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 at a strike price of $2.387. As of September 30, 2018, all remaining warrants were converted to common stock and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we recognized a net loss of $20,000.

Other losses, net

Other losses of $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was in connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into a previously disclosed Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for 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.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax benefit from continuing operations was $2.4 million and $2.4 million with an effective tax rate of 82.9% and 26.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to an expense of $6,000 and $15,000 with an effective tax rate of 0.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in the Company’s tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, is primarily due to the Company’s ability to offset the 2018 operating loss from continuing operations against the taxable income generated by the extraordinary gain recognized by the income and asset sale reflected in discontinued operations.

The Company recognized tax expense of $0.3 million and $1.2 million within net income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recognized tax expense of $13.2 million and $15.5 million within the gain on sale of the Core Business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Management expects the gain from the sale of the Core business segment to Symmetry will utilize substantially all of the historical Federal net operating loss carryover of $24.7 million, state(s) net operating loss carryover of $21.2 million, and research and development credit carryover of $1.3 million. As a result, the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets was released during the third quarter of 2018 and the Company recorded a tax benefit of $7.8 million from the release of the valuation allowance. The tax benefit of $7.8 million is netted against the tax expenses within net income from discontinued operations and within the gain from asset sales. Pursuant to guidance under ASC 740, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, continuing operations includes a current benefit of $2.4 million, which reflects the Company’s ability to fully utilize the net operating loss expected to be generated from continuing operations in the 2018 tax year.

As a result of historical losses, exclusive of discontinued operations, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset with a finite life and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets beyond the 2018 tax year. 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 continuing operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable. As Management expects the Company to continue to generate loss in the foreseeable future after 2018, the Company will continue to record a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets at the end of 2018.

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 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-sourcedoutsourced to our specification.

We also perform 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. Additionally, we will function as an OEM-provider of generators to Symmetry for a period of at least 10 years.

We also have collaborative arrangements with two key foreign suppliers 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

Our working capital at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 was approximately $85.2$74.1 million compared with $16.6$81.8 million at December 31, 2017, primarily driven by the gain from the disposition of the Core business. Accounts receivable days sales outstanding were 41 days and 48 days at September2018.
On August 30, 2018, we sold our Core business segment and 2017, respectively. The numberother 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 days sales in inventory, which is the total inventory available for production divided by the 12-month average cost of materials, increased 6 days to 185 days equating to an inventory turn ratio of 2.23 at September 30, 2018 from 179 days and an inventory turn ratio of 2.00 at September 30, 2017.$13.3 million.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, net cash used in operating activities wasis approximately $2.8$10.1 million, which principally funded our operating loss of $(9.7) million, compared with net cash used byin operating activities of approximately $4.4$1.7 million for the same period in 2017. Net income of $68.0 million, non-cash inflows of $1.2 million, accounts receivable of $0.7 million and changes in working capital of $0.3 million, were offset by the gain on the sale of the Core business of $69.1 million and increases of inventory of $1.7 million.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 reportReport on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 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. To date, no reporting units are at risk of failing an impairment test.

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.

Litigation Contingencies

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

Litigation Contingencies

The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and we are and may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedingsdisclosed 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 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.

Management expects the gain from the sale of the Core business segment to Symmetry will utilize substantially all of the historical Federal net operating loss carryover of $24.7 million, state(s) net operating loss carryover of $21.2 million, and research and development credit carryover of $1.3 million. As a result, the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets was released during the third quarter of 2018 and the Company recorded a tax benefit of $7.8 million from the release of the valuation allowance. The tax benefit of $7.8 million is netted against the tax expenses within net income from discontinued operations and within the gain from asset sales. Pursuant to guidance under ASC 740, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, continuing operations includes a current benefit of $2.4 million, which reflects the Company’s ability to fully utilize the net operating loss expected to be generated from continuing operations in the 2018 tax year.

As 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 deferred tax asset with a finite life and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets beyond the 2018 tax year.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 continuing operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision ofOur management has established and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ourmaintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of September 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concludedare designed to ensure that as of the end of that period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we filedfile or submittedsubmit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSecurities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (b)that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEOthe Chief Executive Officer and CFO,Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designingManagement carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and evaluatingwith the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our management recognizedChief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, anyas of June 30, 2019, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures no matter how wellwere not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.

Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, which is described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our 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 and operated, canto provide only reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of achievingfinancial reporting and the desiredpreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control objectivesover financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of 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 and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management necessarilycarried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of 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 on that evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was requirednot 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 there 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 apply its judgmenta 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 evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possibleexecuting business process controls, and procedures.(iii) ineffective monitoring controls to ascertain whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.
As of June 30, 2019, we continue our remediation efforts related to these deficiencies.

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses

Table of Contents
APYX MEDICAL CORPORATION


To date, we have implemented and are continuing to implement a number of measures to address the material weaknesses identified. We are also designing additional controls around the identification, documentation and application of technical accounting guidance with particular emphasis on events outside the ordinary course of business. These controls are expected to include the implementation of additional supervision and review activities by qualified personnel, the preparation of formal accounting memoranda to support our conclusions on technical accounting matters, and the development and use of checklists and research tools to assist in compliance with GAAP reporting requirements.

We have also fully engaged a third-party specialist to help us assess and improve our internal controls and to assist in the process of designing and implementing a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. This has included the establishment of our overall internal control framework and the redesign of controls deemed to be defective in our most recently filed 10-K. As we continue to evaluate and take actions to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, we may find it necessary to take additional actions to address control deficiencies and modify our remediation measures.

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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 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 compensatory damages, an award of interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees and other costs, and equitable relief as the court may deem just and proper.  On July 16, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff for the putative class and approved the lead plaintiff’s selection of counsel.

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.
