SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 20232024

1.
Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation

SANUWAVE Health, Inc. and Subsidiariessubsidiaries (“SANUWAVE” or the “Company”) is focused on the commercialization of its patented noninvasive and biological response activating medical systems for the repair and regeneration of skin, musculoskeletal tissue, and vascular structures.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for comprehensive financial statements.

The financial information as of March 31, 2023,2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, and 20222023 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentationstatement have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2023.2024.
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet on December 31, 2022,2023, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for comprehensive financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2022,2023, Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 202321, 2024 (the “2022“2023 Annual Report”).

Reclassifications -Certain accounts in the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported operating results.

2.Going Concern

TheOur recurring losses from operations, the events of default on the Company’s notes payable, and dependency upon future issuances of equity or other financing to fund ongoing operations have raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q. We will be required to raise additional fund to finance our operations and remain a going concern; we may not be able to do so, and/or the terms of any financing may not be advantageous to us.

The Company expectscontinuation of our business is dependent upon raising additional capital. We expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of UltraMIST and PACE systems which will require additional capital resources to remain a going concern.
 
Management’s plans are to obtain additional capital in 2023 2024, primarily through closing the Merger, as described in Note 4. The Company could also obtain additional capital through the conversion of outstanding warrants, issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. In addition, there can be no assurances that the Company’s plans to obtain additional capital will be successful on the terms or timeline it expects, or at all. If these efforts are unsuccessful, the Company may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or, if available, obtain funds through financing transactions with unfavorable terms.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are summarized below and should be read in conjunction with those described in Note 43 of the consolidated financial statements in our 20222023 Annual Report.

Estimates – These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because a precise determination of assets and liabilities, and correspondingly revenues and expenses, depend on future events, the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements for any period necessarily involves the use of estimates and assumptions. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized herein.

Significant estimates include the recording of allowances for doubtful accounts,credit losses, the net realizable value of inventory, useful lives of long-lived assets, fair value of goodwill and other intangible assets, the determination of the valuation allowances for deferred taxes, estimated fair value of stock-based compensation,litigation contingencies, and the estimated fair value of financial instruments, including warrants and embedded conversion options.

Revenue Recognition - The core principleprinciple of ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) requires that an entity recognize revenuerevenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company allocates the transaction price to all contractual performance obligations included in the contract. If a contract has more than one performance obligation, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on standalone selling price, which depicts the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue primarily from the following types of contracts:

System Sales, AccessoryConsumables and Part Sales - System sales, accessoryconsumables and part sales include devices and applicators (new and refurbished). Performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the point in time that the product is shipped.

Licensing Fees - Licensing transactions include distribution licenses and intellectual property licenses. Licensing revenue is recognized as the Company satisfies its performance obligations, which may vary with the terms of the licensing agreement.

Other Revenue - Other revenue primarily includes warranties, repairs, and billed freight. The Company allocates the device sales price to the product and the embeddedembedded warranty by reference to the stand-alone extended warranty price. Warranty revenue is recognized over the time that the Company satisfies its performance obligations, which is generally the warranty term. Repairs (parts and labor) and billed freight revenue are recognized at the point in time that the service is performed, or the product is shipped, respectively.

Deferred Offering Costs-Deferred stock offering costs represent amounts paid for legal, consulting, and other offering expenses directly attributable to the offering of securities in conjunction with the recapitalization under the Merger Agreement, as defined in Note 4 and further described in Note 4 and are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. In the event of a significant delay or cancellation of a planned offering of securities, all the costs would be expensed. As of March 31, 2024, $1.6 million in Merger costs were deferred until the closing of the Merger.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2016,December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting StandardsASC Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit LossesNo. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 326)740): MeasurementImprovements to Income Tax Disclosures. Update No. 2023-09 aims to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of Credit Lossesincome tax disclosures. Update No. 2023-09 modifies the rules on Financial Instruments, which was subsequently revisedincome tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by ASU 2018-19. The ASU introduces afederal, state, and foreign). Update 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. Update No. 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect to adopt Update No. 2023-09 prospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new model for assessing impairment of most financial assets. Entities are required to use a forward-looking expected loss model, which replaces the current incurred loss model, resulting in earlier recognition of allowance for losses. The Company adopted this ASU in January 2023, and there was no material impactguidance on theour condensed consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures.

4.Merger Agreement
On August 23, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among SEP Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SEPA”), SEP Acquisition Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SEPA (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and SEPA (the “Merger”) will be affected. More specifically, and as described in greater detail below, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”):


Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving company following the Merger.

Each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, will automatically be converted into Class A common stock of SEPA, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), at the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and

Outstanding convertible securities of the Company will be assumed by SEPA and will be converted into the right to receive Class A Common Stock of SEPA.

If the Merger Agreement is consummated SEPA will acquire 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding equity securities. The proposed merger will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with US GAAP. Under the reverse recapitalization model, the transaction will be treated as the Company issuing equity for the net assets of SEPA, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Under this method of accounting, SEPA will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that following the merger, the Company’s stockholders are expected to have a majority voting power of the combined company, approximately 69 – 70%, the Company will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the combined company, Company representatives will comprise a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and the Company’s senior management will comprise all of the senior management of the combined company. As a result of the merger, SEPA will be renamed Sanuwave Health, Inc. 

Merger Consideration -The consideration to be delivered to the Company’s securityholders by SEPA in connection with the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) will consist solely of 7,793,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and, in the case of certain securityholders, of securities convertible into or exercisable for new shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance from the merger consideration (the Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration deliverable to the Company’s stockholders will be allocated pro rata based on their ownership after giving effect to the required conversion or exercise, as applicable, of all the outstanding convertible notes, in-the-money options, and in-the-money warrants immediately prior to the Closing.

Out-of-the-money options and out-of-the-money warrants will be assumed by SEPA and converted into options or warrants, respectively, exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock based on the Conversion Ratio; however, such out-of-the-money options and warrants shall not be reserved for issuance from the Merger Consideration.

Conditions to Closing -The Merger Agreement contains customary conditions to Closing, including the following mutual conditions of the parties (unless waived): (i) approval of the stockholders of the Company and SEPA; (ii) approvals of any required governmental authorities; (iii) no law or order preventing the transactions; (iv) the filing of the Charter Amendments (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (v) the appointment of SEPA’s post-closing board of directors; (vi) the Registration Statement having been declared effective by the SEC; (vii) approval of the Class A Common Stock of SEPA for listing on Nasdaq; (viii) holders of 80% or more of the Company’s convertible notes with a maturity date occurring after the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), measured by number of shares into which such convertible notes may be converted, agreeing to convert their convertible notes into shares of common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ix) holders of 80% or more of the Company’s warrants that would be outstanding on the Closing Date, measured by number of shares subject to all such warrants in the aggregate, agreeing to convert their warrants into shares of common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time.

In addition, unless waived by the Company, the obligations of the Company to consummate the business combination are subject to the satisfaction of the following additional Closing conditions, in addition to the delivery by SEPA of customary certificates and other Closing deliverables: (ii) SEPA having performed in all material respects its obligations and complied in all material respects with its covenants and agreements under the Merger Agreement required to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) SEPA having delivered a fairness opinion of the Purchaser Financial Advisor (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company; (iv) SEPA having, at the Closing, at least $12,000,000 in cash and cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the trust account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of any redemptions) and the proceeds of any PIPE Investment; and other customary conditions to Closing as defined in the Merger Agreement.

In February 2024, the Company amended the Merger Agreement to extend the date after which the Company or SEPA, in its discretion, can elect to terminate the Merger Agreement if any of the conditions to closing of the other party have not been met or waived, from February 28, 2024, to April 30, 2024 (the “Outside Date”).  In April 2024, the Company amended the Merger Agreement to further extend the Outside Date to May 31, 2024.

4.5.Loss per Share

TheDiluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, and 2022. In accordance with Accounting Standards codification (“ASC”) Topic 260-10-45-13, Earnings Per Share, the2023. The weighted average of number of shares outstanding includes outstanding common stock and shares issuable for nominal consideration. Accordingly, warrants issued with a $0.01 per share exercise price, are included in weighted average shares outstanding as follows:

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and diluteddilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. To the extent that securities are “anti-dilutive,” they are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share. As a result of the net loss for each the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, and 2022,March 31, 2023, all potentially dilutive shares in such periods were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.Anti-dilutive equity securities consisted of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively:

Senior secured promissory note payable, in default (“Senior Secured Note”) – In August 2020, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase and Security Agreement (the “NWPSA”). In accordance with the NWPSA, the Company issued a $15 million Senior Secured Promissory Note Payable (the “Senior Secured Note”) and a warrant exercisable intofor shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for cash to support operations, repay outstanding debt and close on the acquisition of the UltraMIST assets from Celularity Inc. (Celularity) among other transactions.

In February 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase and Security Agreement (the “Second NWPSA”) for $3.0 million, for a total of $18.0 million outstanding. Along with the issuance of the note, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 16.2 million shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.18 and 20.6 million shares of common stock. Since the combined fair value of the warrants and common stock issued as part of the Second NWPSA exceeded the face value of the note, the additional amount beyond the face value was recorded as a loss on issuance totaling $3.4 million.
Interest is charged at the greater of the prime rate or 3% plus 9% and paid quarterly.  The cash interest rate for March 31,2023, was 17%. The principal increases at a rate of 3% of the outstanding principal balance (PIK interest) on each quarterly interest payment date. The original maturity date of the Senior Secured Note is September 20, 2025, and it can be prepaid.

In March 2024, the Company entered into a Consent, Limited Waiver and Fifth Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment provides (i) consent to enter into a License and Option Agreement and consummation of a License and Option Transaction a waiver of any event of default that may occur under the NWPSA, because of the License and Option Agreement or License and Option Transaction and (iii) amended the NWPSA to release certain patents from the collateral. The Fifth Amendment also provides for a forbearance of exercising remedies in connection with certain existing events of default under the NWPSA until the earlier of (x) the occurrence of another event of default under the NWPSA and (y) April 30, 2024. During the forbearance period, the outstanding obligations under the NWPSA continue to accrue interest at the default rate.

As of March 31, 2023,2024, the Company is in default ofon the minimum liquidity provisions in the Senior Secured Note and, as a result, it is classified in current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is accruing interest at the default interest rate of an incremental 5%.

The debt issuance costs, and debt discount related to the Senior Secured Note were capitalized as a reduction in the principal amount and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Senior Secured Note. The amortization of the debt issuance costs and debt discount, included in interest expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, totaled $0.5 million and 2022, totaled $0.4 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. Accrued interest related to the Senior Secured Note was $2.1 million and $1.9 million on March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Interest expense on the Senior Secured Note totaled $1.6$1.9 million and $0.8$1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, and 2022, respectively.

There were no transfers among Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, and 2022.2023. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g. changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, we present certain financial measures that facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning; however, such financial measures are not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) (U.S. GAAP). These financial measures are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" and are intended to supplement, and should not be considered as superior to, or a replacement for, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company uses Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for the change in fair value of derivatives and any significant non-cash or non-recurring one-time charges.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income as a measure of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented in a consistent manner for each period, unless otherwise disclosed. The Company uses these measures for the purpose of evaluating its historical and prospective financial performance, as well as its performance relative to competitors. These measures also help the Company to make operational and strategic decisions. The Company believes that providing this information to investors, in addition to GAAP measures, allows them to see the Company’s results through the eyes of Management, and to better understand its historical and future financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other U.S. GAAP measures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have their limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Do not reflect every expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.
Do not reflect all changes in our working capital needs.
Do not reflect interest expense, or the amount necessary to service our outstanding debt.

As presented in the U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations section below, our non-GAAP financial measure excludes the impact of certain charges that contribute to our net loss (Non-GAAP Adjustments).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have incurred losses from operations each year. As of March 31, 2023,2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $207$225 million. Historically, our operations have primarily been funded from the sale of capital stock, notes payable, and convertible debt securities. The recurring losses from operations, the events of default on our notes payable, and dependency upon future issuances of equity or other financing to fund ongoing operations have raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the filing of this Form 10-Q. We expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of UltraMIST and PACE systems which will require additional capital resources to remain a going concern.

Management’s plans are to obtain additional capital in 20232024 primarily through the closure of the Merger, which is expected to add additional capital and funding to the Company.  We could alternatively obtain capital through the conversion of outstanding warrants, issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders. In addition, there can be no assurances that our plans to obtain additional capital will be successful on the terms or timeline we expect, or at all. If these efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or, if available, obtain funds through financing transactions with unfavorable terms.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have used various accounting policies to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 43 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.21, 2024.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires us to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates reflect our best judgment about economic and market conditions and the potential effects on the valuation and/or carrying value of assets and liabilities based upon relevant information available. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The following accounting policies and estimates are deemed critical:

Litigation Contingencies
We may be involved in legal actions involving product liability, intellectual property and commercial disputes, tax disputes, and governmental proceedings and investigations. The outcomes of these legal actions are not completely within our control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the enforcement agencies or private claimants seek damages that could require significant expenditures or result in lost revenues or limit our ability to conduct business in the applicable jurisdictions. Estimating probable losses from our litigation and governmental proceedings is inherently difficult, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages, with incomplete scientific facts or legal discovery; involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages; potentially involve penalties, fines, or punitive damages; or could result in a change in business practice. The Company records a liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable, and the amount may 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 accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. Our significant legal proceedings are discussed in Note 1113 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Liabilities from Embedded Conversion Options and Warrants
The Company classified certain convertible instruments as having embedded conversion options which qualified as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for. The Company also determined that certain warrants also qualified as derivative financial instruments.  Various valuationsvaluation models were used to estimate the fair value of these derivative financial instruments that are classified as derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The models include subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates and as such are subject to uncertainty. The materialOur significant input assumptions for the selected subjective inputs have not changed for the reporting period, except for the expected volatility, which is estimated based on the actual volatility during the most recent historical period equalare discussed in Note 10 to the remaining life of the instruments.

Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill
When we acquire a business, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets primarily include patents, trademarks, and customer relationships. Determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination requires us to make significant estimates. These estimates include the amount and timing of projected future cash flows of each project or technology, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows to present value, and the assessment of the asset’s life cycle. The estimates could be impacted by legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. The test for impairment of goodwill requires us to make several estimates to determine the fair value of the goodwill. Our estimates associated with the goodwill impairment test are considered critical due to the amount of goodwill recorded on ourcondensed consolidated balance sheets and the judgment required in determining fair value. We assess the impairment of goodwill at the consolidated level annually. We also test definite-lived intangible assets for impairment when an event occurs, or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount of the assets or asset group may be impaired. Our assessment for goodwill and intangible assets impairment is based on future cash flows that require significant judgment with respect to future revenue and expense growth rates and other assumptions and estimates. We use estimates that are consistent with the highest and best use of the assets based on a market participant’s view of the assets being evaluated. Actual results may differ from our estimates due to several factors including, among others, changes in competitive conditions, regulatory changes, results of clinical trials, and changes in worldwide economic conditions.

Segment and Geographic Information

We have determined that we have one operating segment. Our revenues are generated from sales primarily in the United States. International sales include sales in Europe, Canada, the Middle East, Central America, South America, Asia, and Asia/Pacific. All significant expenses are generated in the United States and all significant assets are in the United States.

Contractual Obligations

Our major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our financing leases for rental equipment, operating leases for our facilities and office equipment, purchase and supplier obligations for product component materials and equipment, and our outstanding debt. Please see our 2022 Annual Report for additional discussions of these obligations.

Effects of Inflation

Due to the fact that ourOur assets are, to an extent, liquid in nature, so they are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of inflation, which has been increasing,increased, affects expenses such as employee compensation, office space leasing costs and research and development charges, which may not be readily recoverable during the period of time that we are bringing the product candidates to market.recoverable. To the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has other adverse effects on the market, it may adversely affect our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023.2024. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively as of March 31, 2023.2024. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the “material weakness” described below.

We have identified three existing material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting from prior periods.  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 a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Because the items described below could have resulted in material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements, we determined this constitutes a material weakness.

As of March 31, 2023,2024, the Company has still identified the following material weaknesses:


1.ExpertiseThe Company lacked expertise and resources to analyze and properly apply U.S. GAAP to complex and non-routine transactions such as complex financial instruments and derivatives and complex sales distributing agreements with select vendors.

2.A lack ofThe Company lacked internal resources to analyze and properly apply U.S. GAAP to accounting for financial instruments included in service agreements with select vendors.

3.The Company has failed to design and implement controls around all accounting and IT processes and procedures and, as such, we believe that all its accounting and IT processes and procedures need to be re-designed and tested for operating effectiveness.

As a result, management concluded that its internal control over reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2023.2024.

Remediation Plan

Our management is committed to remediating these material weaknesses and has implemented several steps to enhance our internal controls and ensure appropriate resourcing with the required knowledge and expertise to conduct our business activities. Management hired a third-party consultant to help us design and document internal controls and perform a risk assessment of our processes over financial reporting. The risk assessment performed resulted in a qualitative and quantitative view of all processes that will help inform remediation efforts and prioritize high risk processes for remediation. The third-party consultant has also provided recommendations to standardize, automate and implement effectively designed internal controls over financial reporting. We intend to remediate and implement internal controls for high-risk processes over the course of 2024. We also intend to hire and segregate certain duties so that control activities are working with an external vendorappropriate and fully mitigate risk. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until a sustained period of time has passed to properly document our current internal control policies and procedures to provide the framework for increased effectivenessallow management to test internal controls going forward. Wethe design and operational effectiveness of the corrective actions. Until the material weaknesses are also adding automatedremediated, we plan to continue toperform additional analyses and manual controls into and over the Company’s ERP systemother procedures to ensure that order to cash controlsour consolidated financial statements are implemented to mitigate the riskprepared in customer creation, pricing,accordance with U.S GAAP. In addition, we may discover additional material weaknesses that require additional time and accuracy of billing.  We will continue to work with our external vendorresources to remediate and we may decide to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses notedor modify the remediation steps described above.

We are also working with an outside vendor to improve our IT general controls over our ERPenterprise resource planning system and set up a proper framework for IT general controls to be executed with the objective to remediate the weaknesses regarding internal controls and provide the framework for testing going forward.

While the above actionsany material weakness or significant deficiency requires management to devote significant time and planned actions are subjectincur significant expense to ongoingremediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and management evaluation and will require validation and testingmay not be able to remediate any such material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in a timely manner.

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management completes the designreporting could also result in errors in our financial statements that could require us to restate our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and implementationcause shareholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information, all of the measures described above, until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time,which could materially and until management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are effective.adversely affect our business and stock price.

There is no assurance that the measures described above will be sufficient to remediate the previously identified material weaknesses and significant deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023,2024, that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as disclosed in “Remediation Plan” above.
