REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


NATURE OF OPERATIONS


REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company”,“Company,” “KORU Medical”Medical,” “we,” “us” or “we”“our”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management.  The Company operates as one segment.


FISCAL YEAR END


The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2020, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with instructions to SEC regulation S-X for interim financial statements.


In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, and 2019.


The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Reportannual report on Form 10-K for the twelve monthsyear ended December 31, 2019 as filed(“Annual Report”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from the Securitiesaccompanying financial statements.  The accompanying year-end balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report.  The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows that it may achieve in future periods.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company holds cash in excess of $250,000 at its depository, which exceeds the FDIC insurance limits and is, therefore, uninsured.


CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT


The certificate of deposit was recorded at cost plus accrued interest.  The certificate of deposit earned interest at a rate of 1.73% and matured in May 2019.


INVENTORY


Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates average cost, or market value including allocable overhead.  Work-in-process and finished goods are stated at the lower of standard cost or market value and include direct labor and allocable overhead.


PATENTS


Costs incurred in obtaining patents have been capitalized and are being amortized over the legal life of the patents.


INCOME TAXES


Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.


- 6 -



The Company believes that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure or adjustment.  Generally, tax years starting with 2017 are subject to examination by income tax authorities.


PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION


Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.


- 8 -



STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


The Company maintains a stock option plan under which it grants stock options to certain executives, key employees and consultants. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  All options are charged against income at their fair value.  The entire compensation expense of the award is recognized over the vesting period. Shares of stock granted for director fees are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date.


NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE


Basic earnings per share are computed on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during each year.  Diluted earnings per share include only an increase in the weighted average shares by the common shares issuable upon exercise of employee and consultant stock options.  See “NOTE 4 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION” for further detail.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Important estimates include but are not limited to asset lives, valuation allowances, inventory valuation, and accruals.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09—2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.  We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis.  Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to our accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows or related disclosures.  As such, prior period financial statements were not recast.


- 9 -



The Company’s revenues result from the sale of assembled products.  We recognize revenues when shipment occurs, and at which point the customer obtains control and ownership of the goods.  Shipping costs generally are billed to customers and are included in sales.


The Company generally does not accept return of goods shipped unless it is a Company error.  The only credits provided to customers are for defective merchandise.  The Company warrants the syringe driver from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and the warranty does not include a performance obligation.  The costs under the warranty are expensed as incurred.


Provisions for distributor pricing and annual customer volumegrowth rebates are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded or when it’sit is probable the annual growth target will be achieved. Rebates are provided to distributors for the difference in selling price to distributor and pricing specified to select customers.


The following table summarizes net sales by geography for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

LEASES


In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.  Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by the Company for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP, while our accounting for capital leases remains substantially unchanged.  Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The standard became effective for us on January 1, 2019.  The standard had a material impact on our balance sheets but did not have a material impact on our income statements.statements of operations.  See NOTE“NOTE 6 LEASES.LEASES” for further detail.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):  Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure for Fair Value Measurement.  The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption.  All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.  Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this ASU.  An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.  The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020 and it had no impact on our financial statement disclosures.


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.  The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license).  The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this ASU.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption of the amendments in this ASU is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities.  The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.  The Company adopted this new accounting guidance on January 1, 2020, on a prospective basis.  The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results, cash flows, financial condition or related disclosures.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED


In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU No. 2016-13—2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326);: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities.  For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses.  The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected.  For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down.  This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income.  The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions including the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.  The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provided elective amendments for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.  The amendments may be applied to impacted contracts and hedges prospectively through December 31, 2022.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.


The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSMEASUREMENTS


Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability.  Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:


Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.


The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet forof cash trade receivables,and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximateare considered to be representative of their fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.  There were no transfers between levels in the fair value based onhierarchy during the short-term maturity of these instruments.nine months ended September 30, 2020.

NOTE 3 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We areThe Company has been and may again become involved in several lawsuitslegal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  Except as described below, KORU Medical is not presently a party to any litigation or other legal proceeding that is believed to be material to its financial condition.


Litigation


Refer to Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 regarding the dismissed case with our principal competitor, EMED Technologies Corporation (“EMED”).  EMED has alleged that our needle sets infringe various patents controlled by EMED.  Certain of these lawsuits also allege antitrust violations, unfair business practices, and various other business tort claims.  We are vigorously defending against all of the lawsuits brought by EMED. Although no assurances can be given, we believe we have meritorious defenses to all of EMED’s claims.


The initial case involving EMED was filed by us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California on September 20, 2013 (the “California case”), in response to a letter from EMED claiming patent infringement by us, and seeking a declaratory judgment establishing the invalidity of the patent referenced in the letter – EMED’s US patent 8,500,703 – “’703.”  EMED answered the complaint and asserted patent infringement of the ’703 patent and several counterclaims relating generally to claims of unfair business practices against us.  We responded by adding several claims against EMED, generally relating to claims of unfair business practices on EMED’s part.  Both parties have requested injunctive relief and monetary damages in unspecified amounts.  On June 16, 2015, the California court entered a preliminary injunction against KORU Medical for making certain statements regarding products cleared for use by the FDA, or that could be safely used, with KORU Medical’s Freedom60 pump, without voiding the product warranty.  On September 11, 2015, we requested an ex parte reexamination of the ’703 patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).  The ex parte reexamination resulted in a Final Office Action, dated July 19, 2017, rejecting all of EMED’s claims in the issued patent.  On January 25, 2018, EMED filed an Appeal Brief with a Petition for Revival, which was accepted.  On April 9, 2018, the USPTO denied EMED’s request for reconsideration of the order rejecting all claims in the ’703 patent.  On June 26, 2019, the Examiner responded to EMED’s appeal brief and maintained all of the final rejections.  On December 31, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the USPTO issued its decision sustaining the invalidity of claims 1-10 of the ’703 patent, but reversing the Examiner’s rejection of claim 11, leaving claim 11 as the only surviving claim of the ’703 patent.  Claim 11 of the ’703 patent, however, was not asserted in the California case.  EMED has informed KORU Medical it will neither appeal the PTAB’s decision nor pursue a claim based on infringement of claim 11 of the ’703 patent in the California case.  EMED also has moved to dismiss the ’703 patent claims from the California case.  That motion and the non-patent claims asserted by the parties in the California case remain pending.


The second court case was filed by EMED in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Texas Court”) on June 25, 2015, claiming patent infringement on another of its patents (US 8,961,476 – “’476”), by our needle sets, and seeking unspecified monetary damages (“ED Texas ’476 matter”).  This ’476 patent is related to the now rejected EMED ’703 patent.


On September 17, 2015, we requested an inter partes review (“IPR”) of the ’476 patent, and in response to our request, the Court entered an order staying the ED Texas ’476 matter until after the PTAB made a decision regarding the validity of the patent.  On January 12, 2017, the PTAB issued its Final Written Decision in our favor, invalidating all but one (“dependent Claim 9”) of the claims in the ’476 patent.  EMED appealed the PTAB’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which affirmed the PTAB’s Final Written Decision in our favor on April 3, 2018.  On April 18, 2018, EMED filed a petition for en banc rehearing, which was denied.  On August 16, 2018, EMED petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari to review the Federal Circuit’s upholding the PTAB’s Final Written Decision.  On October 29, 2018, the United States Supreme Court denied EMED’s Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, thus finally affirming the PTAB’s invalidation of ’476, save for one dependent claim.


Following the PTAB’s Final Written Decision in the IPR regarding the ’476 patent, EMED filed a new patent application claiming priority back to the application that issued as ’703, which is the patent at issue in the California case.  Submitted for accelerated examination, this new application issued as US 9,808,576 – “’576” on November 7, 2017.  On this same date, EMED filed a new case (the “third case”) in the Texas Court claiming patent infringement of ’576, also directed to our needle sets, and seeking unspecified damages and a preliminary injunction against marketing and sales of our needle sets.  We filed a Motion to Dismiss or Transfer Venue to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), which resulted in the transfer of the third case to SDNY (“SDNY ’576 matter”) on May 30, 2018.


On April 23, 2018, EMED filed a new civil case (the “fourth case”) against us in the Texas Court asserting antitrust, defamation and unfair business practice claims, and seeking unspecified damages, similar to those previously presented in the California case, described above.  The fourth case also names Andrew Sealfon, then President and CEO of KORU Medical, individually as a defendant.  As the result of a hearing on November 14, 2018, on December 7, 2018, the Court entered an order transferring the fourth case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (the “California Court”).  The California Court set an initial schedule for a preliminary motion phase and on August 30, 2019 EMED filed a second amended complaint.  On September 30, 2019, KORU Medical and Sealfon filed a motion to dismiss that complaint, and Sealfon filed a separate motion to dismiss the case as to him for lack of jurisdiction.  Ultimately, we expect this case to be coordinated or consolidated with the California case, or dismissed, as the California Court sees fit.


- 9 -



At the same hearing on November 14, 2018, the Texas Court granted EMED leave to amend its infringement contentions, following the IPR decision invalidating all but one claim of the ’476 patent, in order to assert infringement of that sole remaining claim, namely dependent Claim 9.  The Texas Court’s order allowing EMED’s amendment of its infringement contentions against us was entered on December 7, 2018.


The ED Texas ’476 matter proceeded under EMED’s amended infringement contention to incorporate the surviving dependent Claim 9, which incorporates Claims 1 and 8 of the ’476 patent, meaning that, to prove infringement on our part, EMED must prove more elements of infringement than it originally charged against us.  In April 2019, EMED served its damages expert’s report opining that EMED’s past infringement damages amount to $1.5 million, and in May KORU Medical served its damages expert’s rebuttal report opining that EMED’s expert miscalculated damages which if properly calculated would amount to less than $100,000.  The Texas Court had set a trial date of August 19, 2019, for the trial of the ED Texas ’476 matter.  On June 24, 2019, the Texas Court Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation decision finding no infringement, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by KORU Medical’s accused products.  EMED filed its objections on June 26, 2019.  On June 28, 2019, the Texas Court issued a Final Judgment in favor of KORU Medical and adopted the decision of the Magistrate Judge that was issued on June 24, 2019, overruled EMED’s objections, awarded court costs to KORU Medical, and dismissed the case.  A final judgment has been entered.  KORU Medical has submitted its Bill of Costs for approximately $16,000 and has moved to declare the case exceptional and for recovery of its attorney fees and expenses of approximately $2.3 million in defense of EMED’s assertion of the ’476 Patent.  EMED has objected to our Bill of Costs, opposed the motion for fees, and filed a notice of appeal of the non-infringement judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “CAFC”).  On September 16, 2019, EMED filed its opening appeal brief.  On October 28, 2019, KORU Medical filed its responsive brief, and on November 7, 2019 EMED filed its reply brief.  On November 20, 2019, KORU Medical filed a motion for leave to file a sur-reply brief to respond to a new argument raised by EMED in its reply brief, which EMED opposed, and which the CAFC referred to the judicial panel that will hear the appeal for consideration.  On April 9, 2020, the CAFC issued a unanimous decision affirming the ED Texas Court’s judgment of non-infringement.  The Texas Court had stayed proceedings in the district court until the appeal process is completed, and the parties will now meet and confer regarding when to return to the district court to lift the stay and address KORU Medical’s fee motion which remains pending.


The SDNY ’576 matter proceeded in the New York court through claim construction on the ’576 Patent, whereupon KORU Medical sought permission from the New York court to file a motion for summary judgement, to which EMED objected.  The New York court granted KORU Medical’s request, and on July 10, 2019, KORU Medical filed its motion for summary judgement.  EMED opposed that motion, and on August 30, 2019, the New York court granted summary judgement, and dismissed the lawsuit.  A final judgement has been entered.  KORU Medical has submitted a Bill of Costs for approximately $1,500, to which EMED has objected, and has moved the New York court to declare the case exceptional and for recovery of its attorney fees and expenses of at least $1.16 million. EMED has opposed that motion, which was referred to a United States District Court Magistrate Judge to prepare a report and recommendation.  On November 12, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation that KORU Medical’s fee motion be granted, and KORU Medical be awarded approximately $1.1 million in fees and expenses.  EMED has filed objections to the Report and Recommendation, to which KORU Medical has responded, and which objections are now pending before the District Court Judge for resolution.  EMED has also appealed the New York court’s judgment of non-infringement to the CAFC, which matter also is pending.  EMED’s opening appeal brief was due November 8, 2019, but EMED filed its brief on November 12, 2019.  EMED filed a motion to extend the time to file its opening brief, which KORU Medical opposed, but the motion was granted.  KORU Medical filed its responsive brief on December 23, 2019, on January 9, 2020 EMED filed the joint appendix in support of the parties’ briefing, and on January 13, 2020, EMED filed its reply brief.  The appeal remains pending, waiting for the CAFC Court to schedule oral argument.


As is required by the respective Courts in both the SDNY ’576 matter and the ED Texas ’476 matter, the parties have engaged in settlement discussions and have conducted a court-sponsored mediation session, which did not result in settlement.


Although we believe KORU Medical has meritorious claims and defenses in all of the above-described actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty.  If any of these actions against us are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


NOTE 4 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


On June 29, 2016, the Board of Directors amended the Company’s 2015 Stock Option Plan (as amended, the “Plan”)  authorizing the Company to grant awards to certain executives, key employees, and consultants under the Plan, which was approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 6, 2016.  The total number of shares of Common Stock, with respect to which awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan, may not exceed 6,000,000 pursuant to an amendment to the Plan approved by shareholders on April 23, 2019, at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.


On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement related to its litigation with EMED as described above in “NOTE 3 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.”  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued to EMED (i) 95,238 restricted stock units, which vested on May 21, 2020 and 95,238 restricted stock units vesting on January 1, 2021, and (ii) an option to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.21 per share prior to February 1, 2021, which can be settled in cash in lieu of common stock at the Company’s sole discretion, provided that the number of shares of common stock and/or amount of cash paid by the Company upon exercise will be capped at a value of $16.21 per share.  The option was recorded at $347,008, the estimated fair value of the option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a volatility rate of 52.68% and a risk-free rate of 0.17%.  The Settlement Agreement includes mutual releases and covenants not to sue for any claim arising before May 20, 2020 and the Company covenants not to challenge any EMED patents that were the subject of the Claims unless EMED asserts them in the future against Company products.  This was a non-cash settlement from which we recognized expense in the amount of $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.


- 1012 -



As of March 31, 2020, the Company had options to purchase 4,472,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding to certain executives, key employees and consultants under the Plan, of which none were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020.


On February 20, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in compensation for each non-employee director from $25,000 to $50,000 annually effective January 1, 2019, and an additional $10,000 annually for the chair of each Board committee effective February 20, 2019, in each case to be paid quarterly half in cash and half in common stock at the end of each fiscal quarter.  On September 30, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company named R. John Fletcher, a current KORU Medical director, as Chairman, replacing Executive Chairman, Daniel S. Goldberger, who remains a non-executive member of KORU Medical’s Board of Directors.  In Mr. Fletcher’s role as Chairman, he receives an additional $50,000 in annual compensation, to be paid quarterly in shares of KORU Medical common stock based on the closing price of the stock on the last day of each quarter.


Pursuant to Daniel S. Goldberger’s employment agreement dated October 12, 2018, on February 1, 2019, when Donald B. Pettigrew was appointed to President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Goldberger was awarded a performance bonus in the amount of $270,000 to be paid half in cash and half in stock.  The number of shares that were issued totaled 90,604 and was based upon the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on February 1, 2019, as reported by the OTCQX.  These shares were issued on April 3, 2019.


2015 STOCK OPTION PLAN, as amended


Time Based Stock Options


The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and March 31,September 30, 2019 was zero$6.53 and $1.10,$1.33, respectively.  The fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and March 31,September 30, 2019.  Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of the options.  The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of the U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.

The Companyfollowing discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


KORU Medical continues to monitor its operations and government recommendations and has made modifications to its normal operations because of the COVID-19 outbreak, including requiring most of its non-production related team members to work remotely.remotely or on a staggered work shift.  The Company has maintainedcontinued to maintain a manufacturing operational capacity at its manufacturing facility located in Chester, New York, at this time, and has instituted heightened cleaning and sanitization standards and several health and safety protocols and procedures to safeguard its team members who do continue to report in person. The Company’s operations remain active,Until the ultimate extent and duration of the pandemic is known, we cannot predict the ultimate effects the pandemic may have on our business, in particular with respect to demand for our products, our strategy, and our prospects, the effects on our customers, or the impact on our financial results. For example, our future net sales growth may be impacted due to fewer new prescriptions for individuals with Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (“PIDD”) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”) as we currently qualify as an “essential business” under New York state guidelines.  There can be no assurance, however, that our manufacturing or other operations will remain active as ina result of the past or at all, given potential changes in governmental policies, uncertainties over supply chain, possible employee illness or other COVID-19 related issues.  With the COVID-19 outbreak, the needpandemic. Refer to ensure vulnerable patients have access to home-based treatments is more apparent than ever.  Home infusion therapy keeps high-risk patients with immune diseases and other conditions out“PART II – OTHER INFORMATION, ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of institutional settings and allows them to receive treatment at home.


In March 2020, in response to concerns aboutthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of the potential impact of the COVID-19 the Company elected to draw $1.5 million, the full amount availablepandemic on its line of credit.our business.


We ended the firstthird quarter of 2020 with net sales of $6.3$6.1 million, an increase of 27.3% compared withdown 8.1% versus the same period last year, driven primarilyprior year’s third quarter. Our net sales were negatively impacted principally by higher sales volume in needle sets, tubing and pump sales.  The volume increase was driven by what we believe was a result of growth in diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency diseases (“PIDD”) and expansion into the neurology market with expanded Hizentra® indication for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”), as well asreduced U.S. clinical trial volume.


Our gross margin percentage,activity and higher allowances consisting of pricing and growth rebates related to certain customers and payment discounts and distribution fees at our largest distributor under new contract terms.  The third quarter of 2019 included two unusually large orders, and the third quarter of 2020 included a significant order from our largest distributor placed early in exchange for a nominal discount, which is gross profit stated as a percentage ofmay impact our net sales declined to 60% down from 61% in the prior year mostly due to expense related to a discontinued product line and an increase in overtime, partially offset by price increases.  


Net income was $0.4 million for the year, compared with a lossfourth quarter of $0.1 million for the previous year, driven by higher net sales and nearly the same operating expenses as last year.  Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses were higher than last year, but were offset by lower litigation fees.2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $7.4 million cash on hand, including a draw of $1.5 million on the line of credit, and we expect to be able to continue to generate cash from future operating activities sufficient to fund our continued operations.


RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On April 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with the Bank (the “PPP Loan Agreement”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), providing for a loan in the principal amount of $1.5 million (the “PPP Loan”).  The PPP Loan was funded on April 27, 2020.  The Company intends to use the PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses, and will continue to assess whether to apply for forgiveness of the loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act.

Total net sales increased $3.2 million or 18.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the prior year period.  The increase was due principally to an increase in product sales volume, as well as higher U.S. clinical trial activity ($1.0 million). We believe the increase in product sales volume reflects an increase in continued growth in diagnosis of PIDD and CIDP. Also contributing to the increase in product sales volume was a $1.0 million order from our largest distributor placed early in exchange for a nominal discount, which may impact our net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020. Partially offsetting net sales were higher allowances consisting of pricing and growth rebates related to certain customers and payment discounts at our largest distributor under new contract terms.

Operating Activities


Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was mostly attributable to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and litigation settlement expense of $2.5 million, an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued payroll of $2.8 million, driven by the litigation settlement with EMED, the capital raise and customer rebates.  Further adding to the increase was an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million and an increase in the accrued tax liability of $0.2 million, resulting from book to tax differences related to stock option expense.  Offsetting these were primarily working capital changes which include an increase in inventory of $3.2 million as we currently qualify asbuilt inventory to keep pace with sales growth and to insure timely order fulfillment, an “essential business” under New York state government guidelines.  With the COVID19 outbreak, the needincrease in accounts receivable of $0.5 million due to ensure vulnerable patients have access to home-based treatments is more apparent than ever.  Home infusion therapy keeps high-risk patients with immune diseasestiming of collections, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other conditions outassets of institutional settings$0.5 million relating to increased insurance premiums.


Net cash used in operating activities of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was mostly attributable to increased accounts receivable of $2.1 million as one of our major customer’s payment terms changed on January 1, 2019 from net 30 to net 60 days, increased inventory of $0.6 million as we build stock to keep pace with sales growth, as well as severance payments and allows thempayments for insurance renewals.  Partially offsetting these were our non-cash charges for stock based compensation of $0.9 million and depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible asset of $0.3 million, as well as increases in accounts payable of $0.4 million primarily for major supplier invoices and accrued expenses of $0.5 million primarily due to receive treatment at home.legal fees and bonus accruals.


Investing Activities


Net cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily for capital expenditures for research and development and strategic initiatives.  Our net cash provided by investing activities of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was mostly the result of the maturation of a certificate of deposit for $1.5 million and the sale of the house the Company owned for $0.2 million, offset by capital expenditures of $0.2 million, and patent applications and maintenance of existing applications of $0.2 million.


Financing Activities


Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 of $26.6 million is from the $26.5 million capital raise, net of expenses and $0.1 million from options exercised.  The $0.5 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is a result of warrants and options exercised during the period.  


See “NOTE 5 — DEBT OBLIGATIONS” for further detail regarding the promissory note and loan agreement, and “NOTE 8 — EQUITY” regarding the equity offering.


We believe that as of March 31,September 30, 2020, cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations, including further research and development and capital expenditures, for the next 12 months.months, as well as accelerate execution of our strategic initiatives.  We believe KORU Medical’s home infusion products continue to find a solid following in the subcutaneous immunoglobulin (“SCIg”) market, as well as into new markets like neurology where Hizentra® received an expanded indication for CIDP.

We continue to be in litigation with a competitor, EMED Technologies Corp. (“EMED”) and have incurred a significant amount of legal fees in connection with that process.  Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in the actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty.  If any of these actions against the Company are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Operating Activities


Net cash provided by operating activities of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was mostly attributable to net income of $0.4 million, non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $0.4 million, an increase in accounts payable of $0.5 million and an increase in tax liability of $0.2 million.  Offsetting these were an increase in inventory of $0.7 million as we built inventory to keep pace with sales growth, and a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.4 million mostly related to cash payments for bonuses accrued for at December 31, 2019, net of current year accrual for bonuses, offset by higher rebates.  Further offsetting the cash provided by operating activities was an increase in prepaid expenses of $0.2 million, as well as higher accounts receivable of $0.2 million.


Net cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was mostly attributable to increased accounts receivable of $1.2 million as one of our major customer’s payment terms changed on January 1, 2019 from net 30 to net 60 days and increased inventory of $0.4 million as we look to build stock to keep pace with sales growth.  Partially offsetting these were an increase in accounts payable of $0.5 million and non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $0.3 million.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities.  For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses.  The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected.  For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down.  This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income.  The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


- 19 -



In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.  The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions including the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.  The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES


Management of the Company believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by disclosing non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparison of the Company’s ongoing results of operations.  These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results.  Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies.  The table below provides a disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely analogous measure determined in accordance with GAAP.


- 22 -



Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results.  The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results.


We disclose and discuss Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (net income)income/(loss)) before interest, income taxes,tax expense, depreciation and amortization, discontinued product expense, reorganization charges, and litigation expenses including stock-based settlement expense, manufacturing initiative and stock option expenses.  Prior to January 1, 2020, discontinued product expense and manufacturing initiative expense wasexpenses were not included in our definition of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.  We also believe the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year.  Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations.  Because management uses Adjusted EBITDA for such purposes, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a significant criterion for determining the amount of annual cash incentive compensation paid to our executive officers and employees.  We have historically found that Adjusted EBITDA is superior to other metrics for our company-wide cash incentive program, as it is more easily explained and understood by our typical employee.

Discontinued Product Expense.  We have excluded the effect of expenses related to a discontinued product line in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure.  We expected to sunsetretire our Res-Q-Vac product line intowards the end of 2020, but due to the failure of equipment failureused to manufacture the product, the discontinuation and resulting expense was accelerated into the first quarter of 2020 which we would not otherwise incur in periods presented as part of our continuing operations.  Subsequently, in the second and third quarter of 2020, we sold off a portion of the discontinued inventory previously reserved.  We do not expect to incur any significant related expenses in the future.


Reorganization Charges.  We have excluded the effect of Reorganization Chargesreorganization charges in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure.  We incurred significant expenses in connection with the termination and replacement of C-suite executives and senior management which we would not otherwise incur in periods presented as part of our continuing operations.  Reorganization charges include costs related to the replacement of C-suite executives including a transition bonus and recruiting fees, prior to March 31, 2019.


Litigation Expenses.Litigation.  We have excluded litigation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure.  Litigation expenses include stock-based litigation settlement expense of $2.2 million related to the settlement agreement entered into with EMED on May 20, 2020.  We continue to evaluate our business performance excluding litigation fees, whichfees; however, we expect will continue in future periods.these expenses related to the EMED litigation to discontinue soon because of the settlement.


Manufacturing Initiative Expenses.  We have excluded the effect of expenses related to the implementation of those portions of our strategic plan related to creating manufacturing efficiencies, in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure.  We incurred expenses in connection with executing on these initiatives which we would not otherwise incur in periods presented as part of our continuing operations.  We expect to incur related expenses for the next twelve to eighteen months as we continue to execute on our strategic plan.


- 23 -



Stock Option Expense.  We have excluded the effect of stock option expenses in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure.  Although stock option compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock option compensation expenses.  We record non-cash compensation expense related to grants of options and depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We areThe Company has been and may again become involved in several lawsuitslegal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  Except as described below, KORU Medical is not presently a party to any litigation or other legal proceeding that is believed to be material to its financial condition.


Litigation


Refer to Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 regarding the dismissed case with our principal competitor, EMED Technologies Corporation (“EMED”).  EMED has alleged that our needle sets infringe various patents controlled by EMED.  Certain of these lawsuits also allege antitrust violations, unfair business practices, and various other business tort claims.  We are vigorously defending against all of the lawsuits brought by EMED. Although no assurances can be given, we believe we have meritorious defenses to all of EMED’s claims.


- 21 -



The initial case involving EMED was filed by us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California on September 20, 2013 (the “California case”), in response to a letter from EMED claiming patent infringement by us, and seeking a declaratory judgment establishing the invalidity of the patent referenced in the letter – EMED’s US patent 8,500,703 – “’703.”  EMED answered the complaint and asserted patent infringement of the ’703 patent and several counterclaims relating generally to claims of unfair business practices against us.  We responded by adding several claims against EMED, generally relating to claims of unfair business practices on EMED’s part.  Both parties have requested injunctive relief and monetary damages in unspecified amounts.  On June 16, 2015, the California court entered a preliminary injunction against KORU Medical for making certain statements regarding products cleared for use by the FDA, or that could be safely used, with KORU Medical’s Freedom60 pump, without voiding the product warranty.  On September 11, 2015, we requested an ex parte reexamination of the ’703 patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).  The ex parte reexamination resulted in a Final Office Action, dated July 19, 2017, rejecting all of EMED’s claims in the issued patent.  On January 25, 2018, EMED filed an Appeal Brief with a Petition for Revival, which was accepted.  On April 9, 2018, the USPTO denied EMED’s request for reconsideration of the order rejecting all claims in the ’703 patent.  On June 26, 2019, the Examiner responded to EMED’s appeal brief and maintained all of the final rejections.  On December 31, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the USPTO issued its decision sustaining the invalidity of claims 1-10 of the ’703 patent, but reversing the Examiner’s rejection of claim 11, leaving claim 11 as the only surviving claim of the ’703 patent.  Claim 11 of the ’703 patent, however, was not asserted in the California case.  EMED has informed KORU Medical it will neither appeal the PTAB’s decision nor pursue a claim based on infringement of claim 11 of the ’703 patent in the California case.  EMED also has moved to dismiss the ’703 patent claims from the California case.  That motion and the non-patent claims asserted by the parties in the California case remain pending.


The second court case was filed by EMED in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Texas Court”) on June 25, 2015, claiming patent infringement on another of its patents (US 8,961,476 – “’476”), by our needle sets, and seeking unspecified monetary damages (“ED Texas ’476 matter”).  This ’476 patent is related to the now rejected EMED ’703 patent.


On September 17, 2015, we requested an inter partes review (“IPR”) of the ’476 patent, and in response to our request, the Court entered an order staying the ED Texas ’476 matter until after the PTAB made a decision regarding the validity of the patent.  On January 12, 2017, the PTAB issued its Final Written Decision in our favor, invalidating all but one (“dependent Claim 9”) of the claims in the ’476 patent.  EMED appealed the PTAB’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which affirmed the PTAB’s Final Written Decision in our favor on April 3, 2018.  On April 18, 2018, EMED filed a petition for en banc rehearing, which was denied.  On August 16, 2018, EMED petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari to review the Federal Circuit’s upholding the PTAB’s Final Written Decision.  On October 29, 2018, the United States Supreme Court denied EMED’s Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, thus finally affirming the PTAB’s invalidation of ’476, save for one dependent claim.


Following the PTAB’s Final Written Decision in the IPR regarding the ’476 patent, EMED filed a new patent application claiming priority back to the application that issued as ’703, which is the patent at issue in the California case.  Submitted for accelerated examination, this new application issued as US 9,808,576 – “’576” on November 7, 2017.  On this same date, EMED filed a new case (the “third case”) in the Texas Court claiming patent infringement of ’576, also directed to our needle sets, and seeking unspecified damages and a preliminary injunction against marketing and sales of our needle sets.  We filed a Motion to Dismiss or Transfer Venue to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), which resulted in the transfer of the third case to SDNY (“SDNY ’576 matter”) on May 30, 2018.


On April 23, 2018, EMED filed a new civil case (the “fourth case”) against us in the Texas Court asserting antitrust, defamation and unfair business practice claims, and seeking unspecified damages, similar to those previously presented in the California case, described above.  The fourth case also names Andrew Sealfon, then President and CEO of KORU Medical, individually as a defendant.  As the result of a hearing on November 14, 2018, on December 7, 2018, the Court entered an order transferring the fourth case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (the “California Court”).  The California Court set an initial schedule for a preliminary motion phase and on August 30, 2019 EMED filed a second amended complaint.  On September 30, 2019, KORU Medical and Sealfon filed a motion to dismiss that complaint, and Sealfon filed a separate motion to dismiss the case as to him for lack of jurisdiction.  Ultimately, we expect this case to be coordinated or consolidated with the California case, or dismissed, as the California Court sees fit.


At the same hearing on November 14, 2018, the Texas Court granted EMED leave to amend its infringement contentions, following the IPR decision invalidating all but one claim of the ’476 patent, in order to assert infringement of that sole remaining claim, namely dependent Claim 9.  The Texas Court’s order allowing EMED’s amendment of its infringement contentions against us was entered on December 7, 2018.


- 22 -



The ED Texas ’476 matter proceeded under EMED’s amended infringement contention to incorporate the surviving dependent Claim 9, which incorporates Claims 1 and 8 of the ’476 patent, meaning that, to prove infringement on our part, EMED must prove more elements of infringement than it originally charged against us.  In April 2019, EMED served its damages expert’s report opining that EMED’s past infringement damages amount to $1.5 million, and in May KORU Medical served its damages expert’s rebuttal report opining that EMED’s expert miscalculated damages which if properly calculated would amount to less than $100,000.  The Texas Court had set a trial date of August 19, 2019, for the trial of the ED Texas ’476 matter.  On June 24, 2019, the Texas Court Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation decision finding no infringement, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by KORU Medical’s accused products.  EMED filed its objections on June 26, 2019.  On June 28, 2019, the Texas Court issued a Final Judgment in favor of KORU Medical and adopted the decision of the Magistrate Judge that was issued on June 24, 2019, overruled EMED’s objections, awarded court costs to KORU Medical, and dismissed the case.  A final judgment has been entered.  KORU Medical has submitted its Bill of Costs for approximately $16,000 and has moved to declare the case exceptional and for recovery of its attorney fees and expenses of approximately $2.3 million in defense of EMED’s assertion of the ’476 Patent.  EMED has objected to our Bill of Costs, opposed the motion for fees, and filed a notice of appeal of the non-infringement judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “CAFC”).  On September 16, 2019, EMED filed its opening appeal brief.  On October 28, 2019, KORU Medical filed its responsive brief, and on November 7, 2019 EMED filed its reply brief.  On November 20, 2019, KORU Medical filed a motion for leave to file a sur-reply brief to respond to a new argument raised by EMED in its reply brief, which EMED opposed, and which the CAFC referred to the judicial panel that will hear the appeal for consideration.  On April 9, 2020, the CAFC issued a unanimous decision affirming the ED Texas Court’s judgment of non-infringement.  The Texas Court had stayed proceedings in the district court until the appeal process is completed, and the parties will now meet and confer regarding when to return to the district court to lift the stay and address KORU Medical’s fee motion which remains pending.


The SDNY ’576 matter proceeded in the New York court through claim construction on the ’576 Patent, whereupon KORU Medical sought permission from the New York court to file a motion for summary judgement, to which EMED objected.  The New York court granted KORU Medical’s request, and on July 10, 2019, KORU Medical filed its motion for summary judgement.  EMED opposed that motion, and on August 30, 2019, the New York court granted summary judgement, and dismissed the lawsuit.  A final judgement has been entered.  KORU Medical has submitted a Bill of Costs for approximately $1,500, to which EMED has objected, and has moved the New York court to declare the case exceptional and for recovery of its attorney fees and expenses of at least $1.16 million. EMED has opposed that motion, which was referred to a United States District Court Magistrate Judge to prepare a report and recommendation.  On November 12, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation that KORU Medical’s fee motion be granted, and KORU Medical be awarded approximately $1.1 million in fees and expenses.  EMED has filed objections to the Report and Recommendation, to which KORU Medical has responded, and which objections are now pending before the District Court Judge for resolution.  EMED has also appealed the New York court’s judgment of non-infringement to the CAFC, which matter also is pending.  EMED’s opening appeal brief was due November 8, 2019, but EMED filed its brief on November 12, 2019.  EMED filed a motion to extend the time to file its opening brief, which KORU Medical opposed, but the motion was granted.  KORU Medical filed its responsive brief on December 23, 2019, on January 9, 2020 EMED filed the joint appendix in support of the parties’ briefing, and on January 13, 2020, EMED filed its reply brief.  The appeal remains pending, waiting for the CAFC Court to schedule oral argument.


As is required by the respective Courts in both the SDNY ’576 matter and the ED Texas ’476 matter, the parties have engaged in settlement discussions and have conducted a court-sponsored mediation session, which did not result in settlement.


Although we believe KORU Medical has meritorious claims and defenses in all of the above-described actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty.  If any of these actions against us are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”“PART 1, ITEM 1A.

Uncertainty RelatingOur business has been and could continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 Pandemicpandemic.


The COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue affecting economies and businesses around the world.  We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it may impact our employees patients, communities and business operations. While we did not incur significant manufacturing disruptions during the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, wecustomer purchasing patterns and clinical trial activity have been less predictable as a result of the pandemic. We may experience disruptions that could severely impact our results of operations and financial condition.  We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our future operating results and financial condition due to numerous uncertainties.  These uncertainties include the geographic spread of the pandemic, the severity of the virus, the impact of the virus directly on our employees or those of our suppliers, the duration of the outbreak, governmental actions, travel restrictions and social distancing, business closures or business disruptions (including those impacting our supply chain), delays in clinical trials, the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease, the availability of plasma and drugs that are administered by our products, orthe number of new prescriptions for PIDD and CIDP, purchasing patterns of customers in response to the pandemic, changes to our operations, or whether the United States and additional countries are required to move to complete lock-down status, among others.  Our sales representatives are unable to hold in-person meetings with customers and health care providers to discuss our products, which may further impact our sales.  As local jurisdictions continue to put restrictions in place, our ability to continue to manufacture our products may also be limited. Such events may result in a period of business and manufacturing disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The health of our workforce and our ability to meet staffing needs at our facilitiesfacility cannot be predicted and is vital to our operations. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.  Further, the impactsspread of COVID-19, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect us economically. While the potential worseningeconomic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, it has resulted in significant disruption of global economic conditionsfinancial markets, which could reduce our ability to access capital, negatively affecting our liquidity. In addition, the recession resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the continued disruptions to,value of our common stock. The ultimate long-term impact of COVID-19 is highly uncertain and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown.cannot be predicted with confidence.
