NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts presented at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 are unaudited)(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations

 

Skyline MedicalPredictive Oncology Inc. (the "Company"(“Predictive Oncology”) was incorporatedis a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, which can ultimately lead to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes. Through AI, Predictive Oncology uses a biobank of 150,000+ cancer tumor samples, categorized by patient type, against drug compounds to help the drug discovery process and increase the probability of success. The company offers a suite of solutions for oncology drug development from early discovery to clinical trials.

The Company operates in three primary business areas: first, along the drug discovery continuum (i) the application of AI for optimized, high-confidence drug-response predictions within a large experimental space that enables a more informed selection of drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during development and (ii) the creation and development of tumor-specific 3D cell culture models; second, contract services and research focused on solubility improvements, stability studies, and protein production, and; third, production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY® System for automated fluid waste management, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal and associated products.

The Company has determined that it will focus its resources on applying AI to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, partnering with biopharma clients to help prioritize drugs for development and identify biomarker-informed indications. Its platform provides a more informed decision tool to select optimal drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during drug development. As a result of this focused approach, the Company has consolidated its brand under the lawsPredictive Oncology name. Going forward, the Company will operate under the Predictive Oncology tradename with laboratory operations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, Alabama. As of January 1, 2023, the Company has changed its reportable segments because of this focused approach.

The Company has three reportable segments that have been delineated by location and specialty: the Pittsburgh segment provides services that include the application of AI using its biobank of 150,000+ cancer tumor samples. Pittsburgh also utilizes 3D culture models in drug development. The Birmingham segment provides services and research using a self-contained, automated system that conducts high-throughput, self-interaction chromatography screens, using additives and excipients commonly included in protein formulations resulting in soluble and physically stable formulations of biologics focused on solubility improvements, stability studies, and protein production. The Eagan (Minnesota) segment consists of the Stateproduction of Minnesota in 2002. Effective August 6, 2013,the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY System for automated fluid waste management, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal, and associated products. See Note 9 Segments.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,597,119 as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, there was no outstanding debt. The Company believes that its existing capital resources will be sufficient to support its operating plan for the next twelve months and beyond after these financial statements are issued. However, the Company changedmay also seek to raise additional capital to support its namegrowth through additional debt, equity or other alternatives or a combination thereof. The Company currently expects to Skyline Medical Inc. As of September 30, 2017, use cash on hand to fund capital and equipment investments, research and development, potential acquisitions and its operations, and expects such sources to be sufficient to fund its requirements over that time.

Impact of Merger dated effective December 16, 2013,the Coronavirus Disease 2019

In response Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), the Company mergedcontinues to closely manage manufacturing and supply chain resources. The Company monitors its sites to protect the safety of its staff and employees. The Company continues to experience some disruption due to the global supply chain caused by COVID-19. As a result of COVID-19, the Company is also experiencing disruption due to staffing shortages within the service and healthcare industries and negative impacts on the demand for our products and services. For example, some customers are managing inventory and capital more conservatively and our suppliers continue to ask for pre-delivery deposits. The Company is monitoring and taking actions to mitigate potential risks of these shortages and delays which may impact the Company’s ability to obtain new contracts, the fulfillment of product demand and to meet its contract obligations. The extent to which COVID-19may impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain and is dependent on numerous evolving factors, including the measures being taken by authorities to mitigate against the spread of COVID-19, the emergence of new variants and the effectiveness of vaccines and therapeutics. The continuation or re-implementation of these measures remains uncertain. These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time even after the pandemic subsides, including due to a continued or prolonged recession in the U.S. or other major economies. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as with any adverse public health developments, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity or financial condition and into a Delaware corporationheighten or exacerbate risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the same name that was its wholly-owned subsidiary, with such Delaware corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. The Company has developed an environmentally safe system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care. The Company also makes ongoing sales of our proprietary cleaning fluid and filters to users of our systems. In April 2009, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to authorize the Company to market and sell its STREAMWAY® SYSTEM products.SEC on March 21, 2023.

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and had a stockholders’ deficit until August 31, 2015 whereuponprepared the Company closed its public offering of units consisting of common stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants (the “Units”). There remains though, substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Since inception to September 30, 2017, the Company raised approximately $27,765,934 in equity, inclusive of $2,055,000 from a private placement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $13,555,003 from the public offering of Units completed in 2015, $1,739,770 from a registered direct offering completed in 2016, $3,421,188 from the public offering of Units completed in the first quarter of 2017, $358,312 from the underwriter exercising their option to purchase up to 175,000 additional shares of common stock and to acquire additional warrants to purchase up to 35,000 additional shares of common stock, and $5,685,000 in debt financing. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

On August 9, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Skyline Cyto Acquisition, Inc. and CytoBioscience, Inc. (“CytoBioscience”). CytoBioscience creates and manufactures devices used in human cell research focused on new therapeutic drug development and has a well-known scientific and technical staff, collaborative partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies and strategic alliances with key groups and academic institutions. The Merger Agreement contemplated a reverse triangular merger with CytoBioscience becoming a wholly owned operating subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In November 2017, the Company and CytoBioscience announced that they terminated the Merger Agreement to focus on structuring a proposed joint venture to market CytoBioscience’s personalized research services.

Recent Accounting Developments

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and created a new topic in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), Topic 606, and has since amended the standard with ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” These new standards provide a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework for all entities and supersede nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and also requires enhanced disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The FASB allows two adoption methods under ASC 606. We currently plan to adopt the standard using the “modified retrospective method.” Under that method, we will apply the rules to all contracts existing as of January 1, 2018, recognizing in the beginning retained earnings an adjustment for the cumulative effect of the change and providing additional disclosure comparing results to previous accounting standards. Upon initial evaluation, we believe the requirements of this standard will not result in a significant change to our results.

8

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" providing explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments in this update are effective.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We implemented in the first quarter of 2017.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts, rather than as an asset. Amortization of these costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, requiring that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU is effective within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This ASU is implemented.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” providing guidance on the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the Balance Sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is implemented.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). The standard changes how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. Under the new guidance, entities will be required to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicability exception. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’scondensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The standard states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing of our adoption and the impact that the updated standard will have on ourrelated unaudited financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is implemented.

9

During August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classifiedinformation in the statements of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If retrospective application is impractical for some of the issues addressed by the update, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted, including adoptionfootnotes in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

We reviewed all other significant newly issued accounting pronouncements and determined they are either not applicable to our business or that no material effect is expected on our financial position and results of our operations.

Valuation of Intangible Assets

We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350 — Intangibles —Goodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management’s best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s position, the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all intercompany eliminations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2023. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and liabilitiesexpenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations, cash flows or stockholders’ equity.

 

10

Presentation of Taxes Collected from Customers

Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the taxes collected and remitted from revenues and expenses.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs are recorded within cost of goods sold on the statement of operations.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $7,230 and $28,910 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and were $10,343 and $57,004 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses were $69,499 and $223,958 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and were $79,936 and $302,330 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605-Revenue Recognition.

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. The Company’s standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and the Company will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of the STREAMWAY SYSTEM units as well as shipments of filters and fluids. When these conditions are satisfied, the Company recognizes gross product revenue, which is the price it charges generally to its customers for a particular product. Under the Company’s standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer. The customer’s right of return is limited only to the Company’s standard one-year warranty whereby the Company replaces or repairs, at its option, and it would be rare that the STREAMWAY SYSTEM unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution or filters may be returned. Additionally, since the Company buys the STREAMWAY SYSTEM units, cleaning solution and filters from “turnkey” suppliers, the Company would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.

Cash Equivalentsand cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturitymaturities when purchased of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalentsThe Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and believes its risk of loss is limited to amounts in excess of that which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

10

Receivables

Receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation allowance based on management’s assessment of the status of individual accounts.

Amounts recorded in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at cost, which approximates fairtheir net estimated realizable value.

Certificates An allowance is maintained to provide for the estimated amount of Deposit

Short-term interest-bearing investmentsreceivables that will not be collected. We determine the allowance based on historical experience as well as external business factors expected to impact collectability such as economic factors. The Company reviews customers’ credit history before extending unsecured credit and establishes an allowance based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Invoices are those with maturities of less than one year but greater than three months when purchased. Certificates with maturity dates beyond one yeargenerally due 30 days after presentation. Accounts receivable over 30 days is generally considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivables. Receivables are classified as noncurrent assets. These investments are readily convertible to cashwritten off once all collection attempts have failed and are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

Investment Securities

Readily marketable investments in debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains are charged to earnings when an incline in fair value above the cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains and losses on dispositions are based on the net proceedsindividual credit evaluation and the adjusted book valuespecific circumstances of the securities sold, using the specific identification method.customer. The allowance for accounts receivable balance was $0 as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Under generally accepted accounting principles asAs outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820,Fair Value Measurement(ASC) 820,, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards ASC 820 establishes a three-levelthree-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company uses observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation.

 

The fair value of the Company’s investment securities, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, was determined based on Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities were determined based on Level 3 inputs. The Company generally uses the Black Scholes method for determining the fair value of warrants classified as liabilities on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company uses the Monte Carlo method and other acceptable valuation methodologies when valuing the conversion feature and other embedded features classified as derivatives on a recurring basis. See Note 6 Derivatives.

 

Receivables

Receivables are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation based on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts, changes to the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market,net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-outfirst-in, first-out basis. Inventory balances are as follows:

Total Fixed Assets, Net $99,982  $101,496 

 

Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations expense as incurred.

 

Depreciation expense was $14,561

Long-lived Assets

Finite-lived intangible assets consist of patents and $44,764trademarks, licensing fees, developed technology, and customer relationships, and are amortized over their estimated useful life. Accumulated amortization is included in intangibles, net in the threeaccompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company reviews finite-lived identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360,Property, Plant and nine months ended September 30, 2017,Equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and was $17,782a significant adverse change in the business climate in which the Company operates.

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC 350,Intangibles Goodwill and $56,202Other, goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested on an annual basis for impairment at the reporting unit level as of December 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.

To determine whether goodwill is impaired, annually or more frequently if needed, the Company performs a multi-step impairment test. The Company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. When performing quantitative testing, the Company first estimates the fair values of its reporting units using discounted cash flows. To determine fair values, the Company is required to make assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of free cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations including the rate of future revenue growth, capital requirements, and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value and discount rates. Comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow test. These assumptions require significant judgement. Pursuant to ASU 2017-04,Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the single step is to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill, the difference is the amount of the goodwill impairment. The Company also completes a reconciliation between the implied equity valuation prepared and the Company’s market capitalization. The majority of the inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are unobservable and thus are considered to be Level 3 inputs. The inputs for the threemarket capitalization calculation are considered Level 1 inputs. See Note 4 Intangible Assets.

12

Leases

At inception of a contract, a determination is made whether an arrangement meets the definition of a lease. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset, and ninethe Company has the right to control the asset. Operating leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets with corresponding current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Financing leases are included within fixed assets with corresponding current within other current liabilities and noncurrent within other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the duration of the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Recognition on the commencement date is based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using an incremental borrowing rate. Leases with a term of 12 months ended September or less at the commencement date are not recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed as incurred.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all asset classes. Leases are accounted for at a portfolio level when similar in nature with identical or nearly identical provisions and similar effective dates and lease terms.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from the customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. Sales taxes are excluded from revenue and expenses.

Revenue from Product Sales

The Company has medical device revenue consisting primarily of sales of the STREAMWAY System, as well as sales of the proprietary cleaning fluid and filters for use with the STREAMWAY System. The Company sells its medical device products directly to hospitals and other medical facilities using employed sales representatives and independent contractors. Purchase orders, which are governed by sales agreements in all cases, state the final terms for unit price, quantity, shipping, and payment terms. The unit price is considered the observable stand-alone selling price for the arrangements. The Company sales agreement, and Terms and Conditions, is a dually executed contract providing explicit criteria supporting the sale of the STREAMWAY System. The Company considers the combination of a purchase order and acceptance of its Terms and Conditions to be a customer’s contract in all cases.

Product sales for medical devices consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes product revenue when the following events have occurred: (1) the Company has transferred physical possession of the products, (2) the Company has a present right to payment, (3) the customer has legal title to the products, and (4) the customer bears significant risks and rewards of ownership of the products. Based on the shipping terms specified in the sales agreements and purchase orders, these criteria are generally met when the products are shipped from the Company’s facilities (“FOB origin,” which is the Company’s standard shipping terms). As a result, the Company determined that the customer could direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are shipped. The Company may, at its discretion, negotiate different shipping terms with customers which may affect the timing of revenue recognition. The Company’s standard payment terms for its customers are generally 30 2016, to 60 days after the Company transfers control of the product to its customer. The Company allows returns of defective disposable merchandise if the customer requests a return merchandise authorization from the Company.

Customers may also purchase a maintenance plan for the medical devices from the Company, which requires the Company to service the STREAMWAY System for a period of one year after the one-year anniversary date of the original STREAMWAY System invoice. The maintenance plan is considered a separate performance obligation from the product sale, is charged separately from the product sale, and is recognized over time (ratably over the one-year period) as maintenance services are provided. A time-elapsed output method is used to measure progress because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service. The Company has determined that this method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to its customers.

13

All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction for medical devices related to shipping and handling, if any, represent revenues earned for the goods provided, and these amounts have been included in revenue. Costs related to such shipping and handling billing are classified as cost of goods sold. This revenue stream is reported under the Eagan reportable segment.

Revenue from Clinical Testing

Clinic diagnostic testing is comprised of our Tumor Drug Response Testing (“ChemoFx”) and Genomic Profiling (“BioSpeciFx”) tests. The Tumor Drug Response Testing test determines how a patient’s tumor specimen reacts to a panel of various chemotherapy drugs, while the Genomic Profiling test evaluates the expression and/or status of a particular gene related to a patient’s tumor specimen. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The estimated uncollectible amounts are generally considered implicit price concessions that are a reduction in revenue. Pittsburgh’s payments terms vary by the agreements reached with insurance carriers and Medicare. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at one point in time when test reports are delivered.

For service revenues, the Company estimates the transaction price which is the amount of consideration it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for providing services based on its historical collection experience using a portfolio approach as a practical expedient to account for patient contracts as collective groups rather than individually. The Company monitors its estimates of transaction price to depict conditions that exist at each reporting date. If the Company subsequently determines that it will collect more consideration than it originally estimated for a contract with a patient, it will account for the change as an increase to the estimate of the transaction price, provided that such downward adjustment does not result in a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized.

The Company recognizes revenue from these patients when contracts, as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, are established at the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled or when the Company receives substantially all of the consideration subsequent to the performance obligations being satisfied. The Company’s standard payment term for hospital and patient direct bill is 30 days after the invoice date. This revenue stream is reported under the Pittsburgh segment.

Contract Research Organization (CRO) and AI-Driven Business

Contract revenues are generally derived from studies conducted with biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies. The specific methodology for revenue recognition is determined on a case-by-case basis according to the facts and circumstances applicable to a given contract. The Company typically uses an input method that recognizes revenue based on the Company’s efforts to satisfy the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the standalone-selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Advance payments received in excess of revenues recognized are classified as deferred revenue until such time as the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Payment terms are net 30 from the invoice date, which is sent to the customer as the Company satisfies the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. This revenue stream is reported under the Birmingham and Pittsburgh segments.

Variable Consideration

The Company records revenue from distributors and direct end customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price it expects to be entitled to after transferring control of those goods or services. The Company’s current contracts do not contain any features that create variability in the amount or timing of revenue to be earned.

14

Warranty

The Company generally provides one-year warranties against defects in materials and workmanship on product sales and will either repair the products or provide replacements at no charge to customers. As they are considered assurance-type warranties, the Company does not account for them as separate performance obligations. Warranty reserve requirements are based on a specific assessment of the products sold with warranties where a customer asserts a claim for warranty or a product defect. 

Contract Balances

The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied. Accounts receivable totaled $282,763 and $331,196 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Intangible AssetsThe Company’s contract liabilities related primarily to 3D services and maintenance plans of $639,238 and $602,073 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40-35 (“ASC 815”) whereby in the threeevent that reclassification of contracts from equity to liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain financial instruments with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive financial instruments, with the earliest financial instruments receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of stock-based awards to the Company’s employees are not subject to the sequencing policy.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740- 740,Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

There is no income tax provision in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operationsnet loss due to the cumulative operating losses that indicate a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets and state income taxes is appropriate.

 

15

The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified no income tax uncertainties.

 

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain stock transactions which significantly change ownership could limit the amount of net operating carryforwards that may be utilized on an annual basis to offset taxable income in future periods. The Company has not yet performed an analysis of the annual net operating loss carryforwards and limitations that are available to be used against taxable income. Consequently, the limitation, if any, could result in the expiration of the Company’s loss carryforwards before they can be utilized. The Company has not analyzed net operating loss carryforwards under Section 382 to date. As a result of the Helomics acquisition, there may be significant limitations to the net operating loss. In addition, the current NOL carryforwards might be further limited by future issuances of our common stock.

Tax years subsequent to 20132002 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “improvementsauthorities due to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires companies to recognize additional tax benefits or expenses related to the vesting or settlement of employee share based awards as income tax provision or benefit in the income statement in the reporting period in which they occur. In addition, ASU 2016-09 requires that all tax related cash flows resulting from share-based payments, including the excess tax benefits related to settlement of stock-based awards, be classified as cash flows fromunexpired net operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company did not elect to early adopt ASU 2016-09, but rather adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2017.loss carryforwards.

 

13

The adoption of ASU 2016-09 required no retrospective adjustments to the financial statements. In addition, there was no material cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, nor did the adoption impact the tax provision for the prior or current quarter.

Income Tax Balance Sheet Classification

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” providing guidance on the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the Balance Sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 in the first quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis and therefore prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.

Patents and Intellectual Property

On January 25th, 2014, the Company filed a non-provisional PCT Application No. PCT/US2014/013081 claiming priority from the U.S. Provisional Patent Application, number 61756763 which was filed one year earlier on January 25th, 2013. The Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) allows an applicant to file a single patent application to seek patent protection for an invention simultaneously in each of the 148 countries of the PCT, including the United States. By filing this single “international” patent application through the PCT, it is easier and more cost effective than filing separate applications directly with each national or regional patent office in which patent protection is desired.

Our PCT patent application is for the enhanced model of the surgical fluid waste management system. We obtained a favorable International Search Report from the PCT searching authority indicating that the claims in our PCT application are patentable (i.e., novel and non-obvious) over the cited prior art. A feature claimed in the PCT application is the ability to maintain continuous suction to the surgical field while measuring, recording and evacuating fluid to the facilities sewer drainage system. This provides for continuous operation of the STREAMWAY System unit in suctioning waste fluids, which means that suction is not interrupted during a surgical operation, for example, to empty a fluid collection container or otherwise dispose of the collected fluid.

The Company holds the following granted patents in the United States and a pending application in the United States on its earlier models: US7469727, US8123731 and U.S. Publication No. US20090216205 (collectively, the “Patents”). These Patents will begin to expire on August 8, 2023.

In July 2015, Skyline Medical filed an international patent application for its fluid waste collection system and received a favorable determination by the International Searching Authority finding that all of the claims satisfy the requirements for novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability.  Skyline anticipates that the favorable International Search Report will result in allowance of its other various national applications.

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. TheAs of March 31, 2023, the Company has a$57,750 of credit risk concentration because of depositing $0.6 million of fundsfor cash amounts held in a single institution that are in excess of insurance limits in a single bank.amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Product Warranty Costs

In the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $204 and $5,216 in current warranty costs and incurred $2,102 and $33,083 in warranty costs for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2016, respectively.

Segments

The Company operates in two segments for the sale of its medical device and consumable products. Predominantly most of the Company’s assets, revenues, and expenses for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017 and for 2016 in entirety were located at or derived from operations in the United States. The Company completed its first sale outside of the United States, in Canada, in March 2017.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry,and biopharmaceutical industries, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulations of the FDAFood and Drug Administration, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, and other governmental agencies.

 

Interim Financial Statements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has preparedconsiders the unaudited interimapplicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). Recently issued ASUs not listed below either were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are currently expected to have no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU added a new impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The CECL model applies to most debt instruments, trade receivables, lease receivables, financial guarantee contracts, and related unauditedother loan commitments. The CECL model does not have a minimum threshold for recognition of impairment losses and entities will need to measure expected credit losses on assets that have a low risk of loss. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023; the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial informationstatements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 eliminates the footnotesbeneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedan entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. The new guidance also modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulationsdiluted EPS computation. As a smaller reporting company pursuant to Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments consistingare allowed to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opiniontransition or a fully retrospective method of management, are necessary to present fairlytransition. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2023 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017. The nature of the Company’s business is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

2015 Public Offering of Units

On August 31, 2015 (the “Issuance Date”), the Company completed a public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,666,667 Units (the “Units”) as described below. The public offering price in the Offering was $9.00 per Unit, and the purchase price for the underwriter of the Offering (the “Underwriter”) was $8.28 per Unit, resulting in an underwriting discount and commission of $0.72 (or 8.00%) per Unit and total net proceeds to the Company before expenses of $13.8 million. The Company had granted the Underwriter an option for a period of 45 days to purchase up to an additional 250,000 Units solely to cover over-allotments. The Underwriter chose not to purchase any additional Units under the over-allotment option. The Company paid to the Underwriter a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Underwriter up to $70,000.

On August 31, 2015, because of the consummation of the Offering and the issuance of the 228,343 Exchange Units in the Unit Exchange described below, the Company issued a total of 1,895,010 Units, comprised of a total of aggregate of 75,801 shares of Common Stock, 1,895,010 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 7,580,040 Series A Warrants.

Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), one share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and four Series A Warrants. The shares of Common Stock, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Series A Warrants that comprise the Units automatically separated on February 29, 2016.

15

For a description of the terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock included within the Units, see “Series B Preferred Stock” below. For a description of the terms of the Series A Warrants included within the Units, see “Series A Warrants” below.

Series A Warrants. The Series A Warrants separated from the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock included within the Units as described above and are currently exercisable. The Series A Warrants terminate on August 31, 2020. Each Series A Warrant is exercisable into one share of Common Stock at an initial cash exercise price of $123.75 per share. The cash exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon cash exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Common Stock and the exercise price.

Holders may exercise Series A Warrants by paying the exercise price in cash or, in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, by electing to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Black-Scholes Value (as defined below) based upon the number of shares the holder elects to exercise. The number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered will be determined according to the following formula, referred to as the “Cashless Exercise.”

Total Shares = (A x B) / C

Where:

·Total Shares is the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon a Cashless Exercise.

·A is the total number of shares with respect to which the Series A Warrant is then being exercised.

·B is the Black-Scholes Value (as defined below).

·C is the closing bid price of the Common Stock as of two trading days prior to the time of such exercise, provided that in no event may “C” be less than $0.43 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the Common Stock).

The Black-Scholes Value (as defined above) as of September 30, 2016, was $4.319, and the closing bid price of Common Stock as of September 30, 2016, was $4.125. Therefore, an exercise on that date would have resulted in the issuance of 40 shares of Common Stock for each Series A Warrant. Approximately 6,141,115 Series A Warrants have been exercised in cashless exercises as of September 30, 2016, resulting in the issuance of 2,318,663 shares of Common Stock. If all of the remaining 35,084 Series A Warrants that were issued as part of the Units sold in the Offering and part of the Units issued on August 31, 2015 were exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise and the closing bid price of our common stock as of the two trading days prior to the time of such exercise was $0.43 per share or less and the Black-Scholes Value were $4.319 (the Black-Scholes Value as of September 30, 2016), then a total of an additional approximately 564 shares of our common stock would be issued to the holders of such Series A Warrants. There have been no further events related to above.

The Series A Warrants will not be exercisable or exchangeable by the holder of such warrants to the extent (and only to the extent) that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the common stock of the Company, determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

In addition to (but not duplicative of) the adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events, the Series A Warrants provide for certain adjustments if the Company, at any time prior to the three year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (1) declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all or substantially all of the holders of shares of Common Stock at any time after the Issuance Date, or (2) grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock.  Further, if at any time a Series A Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates any fundamental transaction, as described in the Series A Warrants and generally including any consolidation or merger into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for other securities or other consideration, the holder of any Series A Warrants will thereafter receive, the securities or other consideration to which a holder or the number of shares of Common Stock then deliverable upon the exercise or exchange of such Series A Warrants would have been entitled upon such consolidation or merger or other transaction.

16

Unit Purchase Option. The Company, in connection with the Offering, entered into a Unit Purchase Option Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2015 (the “Unit Purchase Option”), pursuant to which the Company granted the Underwriter the right to purchase from the Company up to a number of Units equal to 5% of the Units sold in the Offering (or up to 83,333 Units) or the component securities of such Units at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price of the Units in the Offering, or $11.25 per Unit. The Unit Purchase Option was terminated in May 2016 in exchange for 135,995 shares of common stock.

Series B Preferred Stock.

In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction, as described in the certificate of designations for the Series B Preferred Stock but including mergers, sales of the company’s assets, changes in control and similar transactions. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible by the holder of such preferred stock to the extent (and only to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the common stock of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except for the right to approve certain amendments to the certificate of designations or similar actions. With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank equal to the common stock of the Company.

The Series A Preferred Shares and warrants were sold to investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2014. On August 31, 2015, the Company issued a total of 228,343 Units (the “Exchange Units”) in exchange for the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock which were then cancelled pursuant to an agreement with the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares. The warrants that were issued in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares remained outstanding; however, the warrant amounts were reduced so that the warrants are exercisable into an aggregate of 3,991 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Exchange Units were exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. On August 31, 2015, the Company filed a termination certificate with the Delaware Secretary of State.

2017 Firm Commitment Public Offering

On January 13, 2017, the Company announced the pricing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 1,750,000 Units at an offering price of $2.25 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and 0.2 of a Series D Warrant, with each whole Series D Warrant purchasing one share of our common stock at an exercise price $2.25 per whole share. The shares of common stock and the Series D Warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately. Gross proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $3,937,500 before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase an additional (i) up to 175,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price per unit less the price per warrant included in the unit and less the underwriting discount and/or (ii) additional warrants to purchase up to 35,000 additional shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per warrant to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering closed on January 19, 2017. The underwriter exercised this option, and on February 22, 2017, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $358,312.

Accounting for share-based payment

The Company has adopted ASC 718- Compensation-Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). Under ASC 718 stock-based employee compensation cost is recognized using the fair value based method for all new awards granted after January 1, 2006 and unvested awards outstanding at January 1, 2006. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and non-vested awards that were outstanding at January 1, 2006, are being recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards, using a straight-line method. We elected the modified-prospective method under which prior periods are not retroactively restated.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model or other acceptable means. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period of time employees will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term, the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements, the expected dividend rate and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized. The assumptions the Company uses in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent the Company's best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company's equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Since the Company's common stock has no significant public trading history, and the Company has experienced no significant option exercises in its history, the Company is required to take an alternative approach to estimating future volatility and estimated life and the future results could vary significantly from the Company's estimates. The Company compiled historical volatilities over a period of 2 to 7 years of 15 small-cap medical companies traded on major exchanges and 10 mid-range medical companies on the OTC Bulletin Board and combined the results using a weighted average approach. In the case of ordinary options to employees the Company determined the expected life to be the midpoint between the vesting term and the legal term. In the case of options or warrants granted to non-employees, the Company estimated the life to be the legal term unless there was a compelling reason to make it shorter.

When an option or warrant is granted in place of cash compensation for services, the Company deems the value of the service rendered to be the value of the option or warrant. In most cases, however, an option or warrant is granted in addition to other forms of compensation and its separate value is difficult to determine without utilizing an option pricing model. For that reason the Company also uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value options and warrants granted to non-employees, which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period the investors or consultants will retain vested stock options and warrants before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company's common stock price over the expected term, the number of options and warrants that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements, the expected dividend rate and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based consulting and/or compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized.

18

Since the Company has limited trading history in its stock and no first-hand experience with how its investors and consultants have acted in similar circumstances, the assumptions the Company uses in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent its best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company's equity-based consulting and interest expense could be materially different in the future.

Valuation and accounting for options and warrants

The Company determines the grant date fair value of options and warrants using a Black-Scholes option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term.

In January 2015, the Company issued a dividend adjustment to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares as described above. Certain previous dividends paid were calculated with an exercise price of $487.50 per share, but should have been calculated at $243.75 per share. As a result, 125 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

On March 31, 2015, the Company issued dividends to the Purchasers of the Preferred Shares as described above. The dividends are at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of the Preferred Shares paid on a quarterly basis in the form of common stock per a stipulated $243.75 per share. Thus, 125 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

On June 30, 2015, the Company issued dividends to Purchases of the Preferred Shares as described above. The dividends are at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of the Preferred Shares paid on a quarterly basis in the form of common stock per a stipulated $243.75 per share. Thus, 125 shares of common stock were issued to 16 holders of Preferred Shares.

For grants of stock options and warrants in 2015 the Company used a 1.63% to 2.35% risk-free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% to 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 to 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $6.875 to $139.2375 per share.

The options will vest in six equal increments: on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth quarters of the hiring date anniversary.

On October 4, 2016, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, to be held in escrow in connection with the Company’s Partnership and Exclusive Reseller Agreement with GLG Pharma, LLC.

For grants of stock options and warrants in 2016 the Company used a 1.46% to 2.45% risk free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% to 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 to 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $1.6329 to $3.7195 per share.

On April 19,2017, the Company received 400,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01, that was held in escrow pursuant to the termination of the Company’s Partnership and Exclusive Reseller Agreement with GLG Pharma, LLC.

For grants of stock option and warrants in 2017 the Company used a 1.92% to 2.40% risk free interest rate, 0% dividend rate, 59% to 66% volatility and estimated terms of 5 to 10 years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from $1.0293 to $1.5489 per share.

During September 2013, the Company experienced an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which could potentially limit the ability to utilize the Company’s net operating losses (NOLs). The Company may have experienced additional “ownership change(s)” since September 2013, but a formal study has not yet been performed. The general limitation rules allow the Company to utilize its NOLs subject to an annual limitation that is determined by multiplying the federal long-term tax-exempt rate by the Company’s value immediately before the ownership change.

At DecemberMarch 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $30.9 million of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2017, subject to the Section 382 limitation described above. The federal NOLs will expire beginning in 2022, if unused. The Company also had approximately $13.0 million of gross NOLs to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2016. The state NOLs will expire beginning in 2017 if unused. The Company’s net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2016, the federal and state valuation allowances were $10.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $33.2 million of gross NOLs to reduce future federal taxable income, the majority of which are expected to be available for use in 2017, subject to the Section 382 limitation described above. The federal NOLs will expire beginning in 2022 if unused. The Company also had approximately $12.2 million of gross NOLs to reduce future state taxable income at September 30, 2017. The state NOLs will expire beginning in 2017 if unused. The Company's net deferred tax assets, which include the NOLs, are subject to a full valuation allowance. At September 30, 2017, the federal and state valuation allowances were $11.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

ItemITEM 2. Management’sManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We were incorporated in Minnesota in April 2002 under the name BioDrain Medical, Inc. Effective August 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Skyline Medical Inc. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated effective December 16, 2013, the Company merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the same name that was its wholly-owned subsidiary, with such Delaware Corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. We manufacture an environmentally conscientious system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids that result from surgical procedures and post-operative care.  Since our inception in 2002, we have invested significant resources into product development.  We believe that our success depends upon converting the traditional process of collecting and disposing of infectious fluids from the operating rooms of medical facilities to our wall-mounted Fluid Management System (“SYSTEM”) and use of our proprietary cleaning fluid and bifurcated filter.

We currently have a Vice President of Sales, one in house sales person and five regional sales managers to sell the STREAMWAY SYSTEM. We have signed two independent contractors, and will continue to sign more, to further represent the Company across the country and in Canada in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2018. We have been issued our Medical Device Establishment License permitting the Company to sell the STREAMWAY SYSTEM and disposables across the 13 provinces of Canada. In March 2017, the Company completed its first sale of a STREAMWAY SYSTEM to a customer in Ontario. In June 2017, we received notice that our STREAMWAY SYSTEM has met all requirements and can now be affixed with the CE mark and marketed in 32 European countries. We have signed a contract with a special consultant to hire distributors throughout Europe and Canada to sell the STREAMWAY SYSTEM. During the fourth quarter, we have executed contracts with three international distributors. Quadromed, is a Canadian distributor who will represent us throughout the entire Canadian country over the next two years, with annual automatic renewals. MediBridge Sarl, is a Swiss distributor representing us in Switzerland entirely over the next two years, with annual automatic renewals. Device Technologies Australia PTY LTD, is an Australian distributor representing us throughout Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and the Pacific Islands over the next five years with annual automatic renewals.

We have also reached a short-term exclusive agreement with Alliant Healthcare, a major provider of medical device products to the federal government. Alliant Healthcare is a CVE verified SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business). The agreement is for ninety days (July 1 – September 30, 2017), with an optional ninety-day renewal term (October 1 – December 31, 2017, the government’s first fiscal quarter) upon agreement of both parties. We have signed a three-year contract with Alliant effective November 1, 2017 ending October 31, 2020, with annual automatic renewals thereafter.

Since inception, we have been unprofitable. We incurred net losses of approximately $1.0 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $1.1 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $51.9 million and $47.0 million, respectively. We received approval from the FDA in April 2009 to commence sales and marketing activities of the STREAMWAY SYSTEM and shipped the first system in 2009. However, there was no significant revenue prior to 2011, primarily due to lack of funds to build and ship the product.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company commenced sales of an updated version of the STREAMWAY SYSTEM, which provides several enhancements to the existing product line including a more intuitive and easier to navigate control screen, data storage capabilities, and additional inlet ports on the filters, among other improvements. This updated version utilizes improved technology, including the capability for continuous flow and continuous suctioning, as covered by our provisional patent application filed in 2013 and our non-provisional patent application filed in January 2014. We have sold one hundred three STREAMWAY units to date.

We expect the revenue for STREAMWAY SYSTEM units to increase significantly at such time as significantly more hospitals approve the use of the units for their applications and place orders for billable units. We also expect an increase in trial-based units. Trial basis units are either installed in or hung on the hospital room wall. The unit is connected to the hospital plumbing and sewer systems, as well as, the hospital vacuum system. The unit remains on the customer site for 2 – 4 weeks, as contracted, at no cost to the customer. However, the customer does purchase the disposable products (cleaning fluid and filters) necessary to effectively operate the units. Once the trial period has expired, the unit is either returned to the Company or purchased by the customer. If purchased, at that time, the Company invoices the customer based upon a contracted price negotiated prior to the trial.

26

We have never generated sufficient revenues to fund our capital requirements. We have funded our operations through a variety of debt and equity instruments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Transaction” below. In 2014, we completed private placements of Series A Preferred Stock and convertible notes raising aggregate gross proceeds of $3,530,000. In September 2014, we commenced a public offering that was delayed, and we did not complete our public offering until August 2015. During that period of time, due to limited funding and continued operating losses, we curtailed our operations and delayed our expenditures to stay in operation. These factors negatively affected our sales in late 2014 and the full year 2015. On August 31, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of units consisting of common stock, preferred stock and warrants, as well as concurrent uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $13.5 million. On November 30, 2016, the Company completed a registered direct offering of units consisting of common stock and warrants, with net proceeds of approximately $1.7 million. On January 19, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of $3.5 million because of a public offering of units consisting of common stock and warrants. Subsequently, in connection with the offering the underwriter exercised their over-allotment option in full; the Company received additional proceeds of $350,000 on February 22, 2017.

Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to sell our products, the cash needs relating to our operations, prospective acquisitions and strategic relationships, and the availability of future financing to fulfill our business plans. See “Plan of Financing; Going Concern Qualification” below.

As a company, our limited history of operations makes prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that period to period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.

Strategic Relationships and Transactions

 

The Company is seeking to broaden its business and from time to time considers acquisitions of companies and strategic partnerships and investments.

On August 9, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Skyline Cyto Acquisition, Inc. and CytoBioscience, Inc. (“CytoBioscience”). CytoBioscience creates and manufactures devices used in human cell research focused on new therapeutic drug development and has a well-known scientific and technical staff, collaborative partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies and strategic alliances with key groups and academic institutions. The Merger Agreement contemplated a reverse triangular merger with CytoBioscience becoming a wholly owned operating subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In November 2017, the Company and CytoBioscience announced that they terminated the Merger Agreement to focus on structuring a proposed joint venture to market CytoBioscience’s personalized research services 

In July 2017, the Company began to advance funds to CytoBioscience for working capital for CytoBioscience’s business in contemplation of signing the Merger Agreement and completing the Merger. All of the notes receivable bear simple interest at 8% and are due in full on December 31, 2017. All of the notes are covered by a security interest in all of CytoBioscience’s accounts receivable and related rights in connection with all of the advances. The principal amount of the secured promissory notes receivable from CytoBioscience totaled $785,000 as of September 30, 2017. Advances since the end of the quarter total $285,000, for total principal amount of the secured notes of $1,070,000.

In November 2017, the Company announced proposed joint venture with Helomics Corporation, a precision diagnostic company and integrated clinical contract research organization, to use the Helomics D-CHIP™ platform to develop new approaches for personalized cancer diagnosis and care. This partnership between the two companies is expected to provide Skyline with opportunities to generate revenues from additional markets. Skyline Medical will own 51% of the joint venture, with Helomics owning the remaining 49%. In November 2017, the Company advanced $175,000 for working capital for Helomics’ business in contemplation of the joint venture. The notes receivable bear simple interest at 8% and is due in full on April 30, 2018. The note is covered by a security interest in certain equipment of Helomics.

Results of Operations

Revenue. The Company recognized $153,000 of revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $135,000 in revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of 13%. The Company recognized $435,000 of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $317,000 in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of 37%. There were 5 sales of STREAMWAY units year to date through September 30, 2017, including our first sale of a STREAMWAY System in Canada. Our goal in ramping up our sales efforts following our hiring five regional sales managers is to have a greater revenue effect in the upcoming quarters.

27

Cost of sales. Cost of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $29,000 and $26,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Cost of sales was $88,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $149,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The gross profit margin was approximately 80% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 53% in the prior year. Our margins were reduced in the first half of 2016, as we replaced many of our STREAMWAY units for the new iteration units at no charge to our customers. Increased sales will allow us to achieve volume purchasing discounts on both equipment components and our cleaning solution.

General and Administrative expense. General and administrative expense primarily consists of management salaries, professional fees, consulting fees, travel expense, administrative fees and general office expenses.

General and Administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by $111,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the 2016 period. The decrease in the three-month period was primarily from $190,000 in investor relations incurred during 2016 due to utilizing consultants and proxy solicitors; $29,000 in stock based compensation because of amendments to employee stock options in 2017, and $68,000 in investors stock compensation due to fund raising activities in Q3 of 2016. Offsetting the decrease was an increase in professional fees of $140,000 mostly due to legal fees for the CytoBioscience merger and consulting fees regarding new business development as well as merger and acquisition negotiations and activities. There were increases in recruiting expenses of $15,000, due to a recruitment fee reduced in 2016, $11,000 for salaries, $6,000 for corporate insurance, and state taxes of $5,000.

G&A expenses decreased by $716,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the 2016 period. The nine month decrease was predominantly from the $1,019,000 severance pay in 2016 for the former CEO, who left the Company in May 2016; legal expense reduced by $483,000 as in 2016 we had a Unit Exchange Offer plus the negotiated settlement with the former CEO; a decrease by $308,000 in investor relations incurred during 2016 due to utilizing consultants and proxy solicitors; salaries, benefits and taxes reduced by $89,000 as the current CEO is not currently on payroll; recruiting fees are reduced by $64,000 due to a fee paid in 2016; additional reduced expenses were for stock based compensation, $58,000 because of amendments to employee stock options in 2017, audit and accounting fees, $6,000, licenses, permits and fees down by $20,000, stock transfer expenses decreased by $9,000, depreciation expense was down by $11,000, travel down by $12,000, and bank charges down by $7,000. Offsets include: $903,000 for investment stock compensation due to the direct registered raise in November of 2016, whereby warrants were issued with a six-month vesting period culminating in May 2017; $287,000 for consulting paid by issuing 143,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, to a consulting firm to assist in sales placements; $112,000 in bonuses that were cancelled in 2016 pursuant to the CEO negotiated settlement; for $33,000 in corporate insurance for increased policy rates in 2017, and for $41,000 because of a combination of increased state taxes in 2017 based on stock transactions and less in 2016 due to a reduction for anticipated penalties.

Operations expense. Operations expense primarily consists of expenses related to product development and prototyping and testing in the company’s current stage.

Operations expense decreased by $100,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decreases for the three-month period include $63,000 in stock based compensation resulting from an adjustment to the Company’s vesting expense pursuant to amended employee stock options in 2017; less consulting expenses of $46,000 due to higher 2016 expenses for attaining our CE mark; and, less research and development costs, $10,000. The largest offset was for $9,000 regarding salaries per the hiring of the quality assurance manager in 2017, and $9,000 due to corrections in inventory for obsolescence. Operations expense decreased by $353,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The nine-month reductions were from bonuses, $98,000, from employee stock options exercised in 2016; $106,000 in stock based compensation because of amendments to employee stock options in 2017; $78,000 in lower research and development costs; $11,000 in writing off obsolete inventory; $48,000 in consulting due to higher 2016 expenses for attaining our CE mark, and $6,000 for shipping and postage.

Sales and Marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense consists of expenses required to sell products through independent reps, attendance at trades shows, product literature and other sales and marketing activities.

28

Sales and marketing expense increased by $164,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increases for the three-month period resulted from expanding our sales force thus payroll, taxes and benefits were higher by $55,000; accordingly, travel expenses were increased as well by $21,000, and commissions were higher by $13,000 due to increased sales in 2017. Additionally, stock based compensation increased by $4,000 due to vesting of stock options, consulting increased by $38,000 due to our hiring an advocate for increasing government sales, public relations increased by $24,000 due to hiring a firm to assist with the proposed CytoBioscience merger, trade shows increased by $7,000 in the Company’s attempt for more exposure, and miscellaneous expenses increased by $4,000 due to higher salesperson credentialing. Offsetting the increases was a reduction in advertising and promotion expenses of $3,000. Sales and marketing expense increased by $332,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increases for the nine-month period resulted from expanding our sales force thus payroll, taxes and benefits were higher by $210,000; accordingly, travel expenses were increased as well by $65,000, and commissions were higher by $25,000 due to increased sales in 2017. Additionally, stock based compensation increased by $9,000 due to the quarterly vesting of inducement options for our Vice President of Sales. Consulting increased by $8,000 due to our hiring an advocate for increasing government sales, public relations increased by $24,000 due to hiring a firm to assist with the CytoBioscience merger, trade shows increased by $6,000 in the Company’s attempt for more exposure, and miscellaneous expenses increased by $8,000 due to higher salesperson credentialing. Offsetting the increases was a reduction in advertising and promotion expenses, $28,000.

Interest expense. There was no interest expense in the first nine months of 2017, and $3.00 in 2016.

Payment Obligations Under Separation Agreement With Former CEO

Effective May 5, 2016, Joshua Kornberg resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and President and an employee of the Company. In connection with Mr. Kornberg’s resignation, the Company and Mr. Kornberg entered into a separation agreement on June 13, 2016 (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, on July 15, 2016, the Company was required to pay Mr. Kornberg: (a) $15,433.20 less any required tax withholdings in a lump sum on July 15, 2016; and (b) $75,000 less any required tax withholdings on July 15, 2016. The Company is required to pay Mr. Kornberg an additional $75,000 less any required tax withholdings payable in 6 monthly installments of $12,500, due on the first regular payday of each month, starting on August 15, 2016; and an additional $450,000 less any required tax withholdings payable in 11 monthly installments of $40,909, due on the first regular payday of each month, starting on February 15, 2017. The Company issued to Mr. Kornberg a restricted stock award (the “Award”) under the Company’s stock incentive plan consisting of 20,000 shares. The award vested on July 15, 2016. The value of the award for purposes of the Separation Agreement (the “Award Value”) is $90,350.61, based on a ten-day volume-weighted average closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Kornberg agreed that the withholding taxes in connection with the Award will be offset against cash payments otherwise due to him in four monthly installments. In addition, the Company agreed to, at its option, either (a) pay Mr. Kornberg $309,649.39 (the “Additional Cash Amount”), equal to the difference between $400,000 and the Award Value, payable in equal monthly installments of $40,909, due on the first regular payday of each month, starting on January 15, 2018, less any required tax withholding, or (b) issue to Mr. Kornberg shares of common stock of the Company (the “Additional Shares”) on January 15, 2018 with an aggregate fair market equal to the Additional Cash Amount, based on a ten-day volume-weighted average closing sales price per share. Under the Separation Agreement, all of Mr. Kornberg’s outstanding stock options and outstanding restricted stock prior to the date of the Separation Agreement were canceled, consisting of options to purchase 22,085 shares and 2,667 shares of restricted stock. The Separation Agreement included a waiver and release of claims by Mr. Kornberg. He will also continue to be bound by the terms of any restrictive covenant agreements he had with the Company.

The foregoing summary of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety be reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which was filed on June 17, 2016, as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,137,309 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with net cash used of $3,704,307 for the 2016 period. The $567,000 decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due an increase to vested stock option accounts from warrants issued in the 2017 public offering and by the reduced net loss in 2017. Offsets were decreases in payables, accruals, common stock issuance and equity instruments issued.

Cash flows used in investing activities was $1,676,015 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $603,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company invested in certificates of deposits specifically maintaining balances below $250,000 in each certificate to maintain FDIC banking protection. There was a moderate increase to purchases in fixed assets and minimal fees related to patents, and an increase in notes receivable

29

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,814,938 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net cash provided of $86,253 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The cash provided came from the net proceeds of the January public offering and the over-allotment option exercise by the underwriter.

Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $766,000 as of September 30, 2017, with certificates of deposit of approximately $1,225,000. We had a cash balance of $425,000 as of September 30, 2017, with the remainder of our cash equivalents in money market accounts. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses. As of September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $51,896,000.

From inception to September 30, 2017, our operations have been funded through a bank loan and private convertible debt of approximately $5,435,000 and equity investments totaling approximately $27,766,000.

In the first nine months of 2017, we recognized $435,000 in revenues. Our product sales since the end of the third quarter have resulted in approximately $93,000 in revenues.

Plan of Financing; Going Concern Qualification

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses, and our accumulated deficit was approximately $51.9 million as of September 30, 2017. Our operations from inception have been funded with private placements of convertible debt securities and equity securities, in addition to a past bank loan (not currently outstanding) and a qualified public offering raising a net $13,555,003 in 2015, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had no debt. On November 29, 2016, the Company closed a registered direct offering for net proceeds of $1,739,770. On January 19, 2017, the Company closed on an underwritten public offering with net proceeds of $3,439,125. Additionally, as part of the offering there was an over-allotment option that was exercised by the underwriter netting the Company $356,563.

We have not achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses at least through the end of 2017.

We had revenues of $435,000 in the first nine months of 2017, but we had negative operating cash flows of $3,100,000. The negative cash flow is heavily impacted by our losses in the nine-month period of $4,878,000 which reflected $2,150,000 of non-cash vesting expenses for warrants issued in conjunction with the registered direct offering and the public offering completed in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Our cash balance was $425,092 as of September 30, 2017, with $1,565,000 in cash equivalents and certificates of deposit, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were an aggregate $1,217,000. We are currently incurring negative operating cash flows of approximately $365,000 per month. Although we are attempting to curtail our operating expenses for our core business, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reduce these expenses significantly, and expenses for some periods may be higher as we prepare our product for broader sales, increase our sales efforts and maintain adequate inventories. Further, our anticipated entry into the international marketplace will require additional cash expenditures.

In addition, as stated in “Strategic Relationships and Transactions” above, we have made total advances of $1,070,000 to CytoBioscience and $175,000 to Helomics through the date of this filing. We expect that we will need to make further advances to meet operating needs of those parties, and to further the strategic partnerships with those companies. Such advances further deplete our cash resources, and we anticipate additional funding challenges relating to other potential acquisitions and strategic relationships as we continue to fund our operations, strategic partnerships and acquisition activities. We will attempt to raise the necessary funds through equity or debt financing, alternative offerings or other means. If we are successful in securing adequate funding we plan to make significant capital or equipment investments, and we will also continue to make human resource additions over the next 12 months. Such additional financing will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and there is no assurance that such financing will be available upon acceptable terms. If such financing or adequate funds from operations are not available, we will be forced to limit our business activities, which will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

30

As a result of the above factors, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K, that they have serious doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

2017 Firm Commitment Public Offering

On January 13, 2017, the Company announced the pricing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 1,750,000 Units at an offering price of $2.25 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and 0.2 of a Series D Warrant, with each whole Series D Warrant purchasing one share of our common stock at an exercise price $2.25 per whole share. The shares of common stock and the Series D Warrants were immediately separable and were issued separately. Gross proceeds to the Company from the offering was approximately $3,937,500 before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase an additional (i) up to 175,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price per unit less the price per warrant included in the unit and less the underwriting discount and/or (ii) additional warrants to purchase up to 35,000 additional shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per warrant to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering closed on January 19, 2017. The underwriter exercised this option, and on February 22, 2017, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $358,312.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business and operating results during the periods presented.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Developments

The discussion and analysis ofshould be read together with our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  The preparation of theseunaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented, as well as our disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation.

We base our estimates and assumptions on our historical experience. We also used any other pertinent information available to us at the time that these estimates and assumptions are made.  We believe that these estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for our making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results and outcomes could differ from our estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are describedrelated notes thereto set forth in “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Notes to Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that the following discussion addresses our critical accounting policies and reflects those areas that require more significant judgments, and use of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition.   We recognize revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 Revenue Recognition and ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition.

31

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon either shipment of the product or arrival at its destination based on the shipping terms of the transaction. Our standard terms specify that shipment is FOB Skyline and we will, therefore, recognize revenue upon shipment in most cases. This revenue recognition policy applies to shipments of our STREAMWAY SYSTEM units as well as shipments of cleaning solution and filters. When these conditions are satisfied, we recognize gross product revenue, which is the price we charge generally to our customers for a particular product. Under our standard terms and conditions, there is no provision for installation or acceptance of the product to take place prior to the obligation of the customer. The customer’s right of return is limited only to our standard one-year warranty, whereby we replace or repair, at our option. We believe it would be rare that the STREAMWAY SYSTEM unit or significant quantities of cleaning solution or filters may be returned. Additionally, since we buy both the STREAMWAY SYSTEM units, cleaning solution, and filters from “turnkey” suppliers, we would have the right to replacements from the suppliers if this situation should occur.

Stock-Based Compensation.  Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted ASC 718- Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).  Under ASC 718 stock-based employee compensation cost is recognized using the fair value based method for all new awards granted after January 1, 2006 and unvested awards outstanding at January 1, 2006. Compensation costs for unvested stock options and non-vested awards that were outstanding at January 1, 2006, are being recognized over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of those options and awards, using a straight-line method. We elected the modified-prospective method in adopting ASC 718 under which prior periods are not retroactively restated.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period of time employees and directors will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price over the expected term, the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements and the risk-free interest rate.

Because we do not have significant historical trading data on our common stock we relied upon trading data from a composite of 10 medical companies traded on major exchanges and 15 medical companies quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board to help us arrive at expectations as to volatility of our own stock when public trading commences. In 2013 the Company experienced significant exercises of options and warrants. The options raised $6,500 in capital. Warrants exercised for cash produced $1,330,000 of capital. In the case of options and warrants issued to consultants and investors we used the legal term of the option/warrant as the estimated term unless there was a compelling reason to use a shorter term. The measurement date for employee and non-employee options and warrants is the grant date of the option or warrant. The vesting period for options that contain service conditions is based upon management’s best estimate as to when the applicable service conditions will be achieved. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognized. The assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our equity-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. See “Note 2 – Stockholders’ Equity, Stock Options and Warrants” in Notes to Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

When an option or warrant is granted in place of cash compensation for services, we deem the value of the service rendered to be the value of the option or warrant. In most cases, however, an option or warrant is granted in addition to other forms of compensation and its separate value is difficult to determine without utilizing an option pricing model. For that reason we also use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value options and warrants granted to non-employees, which requires the input of significant assumptions including an estimate of the average period that investors or consultants will retain vested stock options and warrants before exercising them, the estimated volatility ofas well as our common stock price over the expected term, the number of options and warrants that will ultimately be forfeited before completing vesting requirements and the risk-free interest rate.  Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation and, consequently, the related expense recognizes that. Since we have no trading history in our common stock and no first-hand experience with how our investors and consultants have acted in similar circumstances, the assumptions we use in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards represent our best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our equity-based consulting and interest expense could be materially different in the future.

Since our common stock has no significant public trading history we were required to take an alternative approach to estimating future volatility and the future results could vary significantly from our estimates.  We compiled historical volatilities over a period of 2 to 7 years of 10 small-cap medical companies traded on major exchanges and 15 medical companies in the middle of the market cap size range on the OTC Bulletin Board and combined the results using a weighted average approach. In the case of standard options to employees we determined the expected life to be the midpoint between the vesting term and the legal term. In the case of options or warrants granted to non-employees, we estimated the life to be the legal term unless there was a compelling reason to make it shorter.  

32

Valuation of Intangible Assets

We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 350- Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets are currently solely the costs of obtaining trademarks and patents. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant change in the medical device marketplace and a significant adverse change in the business climate in which we operate. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flows method is used to determine whether the intangible asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any interest charges. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining life of the asset, the asset is considered impaired, and the impairment is measured by reducing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value using the discounted cash flows method. The discount rate utilized is based on management's best estimate of the related risks and return at the time the impairment assessment is made. The balance represented intellectual property in the form of patents for our original STREAMWAY product. The Company’s enhanced STREAMWAY product has a new patent pending, see “Patents and Intellectual Property.”

Overview

Predictive Oncology Inc. (“Predictive Oncology”) is a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, which can ultimately lead to more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes. Through AI, Predictive Oncology uses a biobank of 150,000+ cancer tumor samples, categorized by patient type, against drug compounds to help the drug discovery process and increase the probability of success. The company offers a suite of solutions for oncology drug development from early discovery to clinical trials.

We operate in three primary business areas: first, along the drug discovery continuum (i) the application of AI for optimized, high-confidence drug-response predictions within a large experimental space that enables a more informed selection of drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during development and (ii) the creation and development of tumor-specific 3D cell culture models; second, contract services and research focused on solubility improvements, stability studies, and protein production, and; third, production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY System for automated fluid waste management, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal and associated products.

We have determined that we will focus our resources on applying AI to support the development of optimal cancer therapies, partnering with biopharma clients to help prioritize drugs for development and identify biomarker-informed indications. Our platform provides a more informed decision tool to select optimal drug/tumor combinations to increase the probability of success during drug development. As a result of this focused approach, we have consolidated our brand under the Predictive Oncology name. Going forward, we will operate under the Predictive Oncology tradename with laboratory operations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Birmingham, Alabama. As of January 1, 2023, we have changed in our reportable segments because of this focused approach.

24

We have three reportable segments that have been delineated by location and specialty: our Pittsburgh segment provides services that include the application of AI using its biobank of 150,000+ cancer tumor samples. Pittsburgh also utilizes 3D culture models in drug development. Our Birmingham segment provides services and research using a self-contained, automated system that conducts high-throughput, self-interaction chromatography screens, using additives and excipients commonly included in protein formulations resulting in soluble and physically stable formulations of biologics focused on solubility improvements, stability studies, and protein production. Our Eagan (Minnesota) segment consists of the production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY System for automated fluid waste management, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal, and associated products.

Capital Requirements

Since inception, we have been unprofitable. We incurred net losses of $3,421,802 and $3,370,715 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $157,199,718 and $153,777,916, respectively.

We have never generated sufficient revenues to fund our capital requirements. Since 2017, we have diversified our business by investing in ventures, including making significant loans and investments in early-stage companies. These activities led to the acquisition of Helomics in April 2019, the purchase of the assets of three businesses in 2020 and the acquisition of zPREDICTA in November 2021, each of which have accelerated our capital needs. We have funded our operations through a variety of debt and equity instruments. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity and Plan of Financing” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Financing Transactions” below.

Our future cash requirements and the adequacy of available funds depend on our ability to generate revenues from our drug discovery businesses located in Pittsburgh and Birmingham; our ability to continue to sell our Skyline Medical products and to reach profitability in all of our businesses and the availability of future financing to fulfill our business plans. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Liquidity and Plan of Financing” below.

Our limited history of operations, especially in our drug discovery business, and our change in the emphasis of our business, starting in 2017, makes prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as predictive of our future results.

Revenue. We recorded revenue of $239,895 and $314,568 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  We sold a net of 0 and 3 STREAMWAY System units during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 90% of revenue was derived from the Eagan operating segment.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of sales was $120,139 and $109,443 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The gross profit margin was approximately 50% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 65% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross profit margin related to the Skyline Medical business was approximately 50% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately 69% in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decreased margin is primarily due to sales mix and lower margins on repair and maintenance contracts.

25

General and administrative expense. General and administrative (“G&A”) expense primarily consists of management salaries, professional fees, consulting fees, travel expense, administrative fees, and general office expenses. G&A expense decreased by $87,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the closure of the TumorGenesis and zPREDICTA offices at the end of 2022.

Operations expense. Operations expense primarily consists of expenses related to product development and prototyping and testing. Operations expense decreased by $12,553 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower research and development expenses, as well as expenses related to the closure of the TumorGenesis and zPREDICTA offices.

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense consisted of expenses required to sell products through independent reps, attendance at trade shows, product literature and other sales and marketing activities. Sales and marketing expense increased by $65,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in marketing and business development staff hired after March 31, 2022.

Other income. We earned other income of $42,228 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $42,430 in the comparable period in 2022. Other income is primarily interest income.

Other expense. We incurred no other expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $989 in the comparable period in 2022. Other expense in 2022 consisted primarily of net interest expense.

Gain on derivative instruments. We recorded a gain of $953 and $1,908 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities was $3,427,761 and $3,093,696 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Cash used in operating activities increased in the 2023 period primarily because of the increase in cash used for operating expenses and working capital.

Cash flows used in investing activities was $46,643 and $80,243 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Cash used in investing activities increased in the 2023 period primarily due to an increase in the acquisition of fixed assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 and $86,885 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The cash provided in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to the equity line agreement.

Liquidity and Plan of Financing

We have incurred a net loss in each of our annual periods since our inception. We incurred a net loss of $3,421,802 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. On March 31, 2023, we had $18,597,119 in cash.

Since our inception, we have received net proceeds from the sale of our common stock (through our initial public offering and subsequent public offerings, including at-the-market offerings) which have funded our operations. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to support our operating plan for the next twelve months and beyond after these financial statements are issued. If we anticipate that our actual results will differ from our operating plan, we believe we have sufficient capabilities to enact cost savings measures to preserve capital. We may also seek to raise additional capital to support our growth through the incurrence of additional debt, the sale of equity or other alternatives (including asset sales) or a combination thereof.

26

Financing Transactions

We have funded our operations through a combination of debt and equity instruments including short-term borrowings, and a variety of debt and equity offerings.

Accounting Standardsand Recent Accounting Developments

See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the unaudited, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting developments.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not required.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the rules promulgatedRule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), defines the supervisionterm “disclosure controls and withprocedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the participation ofreports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness ofconcluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in RuleRules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and proceduresAct) were not effective as of SeptemberMarch 31, 2023 for the reasons described below:

As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.2022, we previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Management has determined that we have not maintained adequate accounting resources with a sufficient understanding of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to allow us to properly identify and account for new complex transactions. Therefore, there was a risk that a potential material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements could occur without being prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we have concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in our annual and quarterly filings fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented.

Material Weakness Remediation Activities

To remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described above, we have reevaluated our overall staffing levels within the accounting department and during 2023 we hired additional resources with qualifications that include a high level of experience with complex technical accounting transactions and application of U.S. GAAP. We have completed internal control remediation testing utilizing an external consulting company.

Once the above actions and processes have been in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated and our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, we will consider this material weakness fully addressed.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

NoneIn the ordinary course of business, we may periodically become subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with ongoing business activities from time to time. The results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and unfavorable resolutions are possible and could materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In addition, regardless of the outcome, litigation could have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management attention and resources and other factors.

 

Based on information readily available, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are no pending legal proceedings that, in the opinion of management, are likely to result in a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in thethis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”). The following risk factors modify and update the risk factors discussed in the 2016 Form 10K.

The first risk factor in the 2016 Form 10-K is modified and updated as follows:

We will require additional financing to finance operating expenses and fulfill our business plan. Such financing will be dilutive. Our independent public accounting firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our financial statements, that they have serious doubts about our ability to remain a going concern.

We have not achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses at least through the end of 2017. We had revenues of $435,000 in the first nine months of 2017, but we had negative operating cash flows of $3,100,000. The negative cash flow is heavily impacted by our losses in the nine-month period of $4,878,000 which reflected $2,150,000 of non-cash vesting expenses for warrants issued in conjunction with the registered direct offering and the public offering completed in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Our cash balance was $425,092 as of September 30, 2017, with $1,565,000 in cash equivalents and certificates of deposit, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were an aggregate $1,217,000. We are currently incurring negative operating cash flows of approximately $365,000 per month. Although we are attempting to curtail our operating expenses for our core business, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reduce these expenses significantly, and expenses for some periods may be higher as we prepare our product for broader sales, increase our sales efforts and maintain adequate inventories. Further, our anticipated entry into the international marketplace will require additional cash expenditures. In addition, as stated in “Strategic Relationships and Transactions”risks included in Item 21A of Part I we have made total advances of $1,070,000 to CytoBioscience and $175,000 Helomics through the date of this filing, and a total of $460,000 of these advances have been made since September 30, 2017. We expect that we will need to make further advances to meet operating needs of those parties, and to further the strategic partnerships with those companies.

We anticipate additional funding challenges as we continue to fund our operations, strategic partnerships and acquisition activities and as we make any further advances to our existing strategic partnerships. We will attempt to raise the necessary funds through equity or debt financing, alternative offerings or other means. If we are successful in securing adequate funding we plan to make significant capital or equipment investments, and we will also continue to make human resource additions over the next 12 months. Such additional financing will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and there is no assurance that such financing will be available upon acceptable terms. If such financing or adequate funds from operations are not available, we will be forced to limit our business activities, which will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Because of the above factors, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in their audit opinion, contained in our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, that they have serious doubts about2022 before making an investment decision. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our abilitycommon stock could decline due to continue as a going concern.any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. See Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.reader should also carefully consider these risk factors.

 

35

The following factor is in addition to those set forth in the 2016 Form 10-K:

An attorney has sent demand letters to the Board of Directors in a matter involving the possible failure to obtain valid shareholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s stock plan, which resulted in a violation of Nasdaq listing standards and could result in litigation.

In July 2017, an attorney sent demand letters to the Board of Directors purporting to represent stockholders of the Company. The letter claims that Skyline failed to obtain valid shareholder approval at its July 2016 annual meeting for an amendment to the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan that increased the plan’s share reserve.  As a result, the lawyer claims that Skyline stock option grants since July 2016 have not been properly approved, constituting a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties. The attorney’s claim relates to the fact that the sum of the abstentions and “no” votes on the proposal for the plan amendment exceeded the number of “yes” votes. The Company is investigating the claims in the letter, including the possibility that the granting of stock options in excess of the properly approved plan limitation may have constituted a violation of applicable Nasdaq listing rules. The Company is also investigating possible corrective action. The Company does not believe that this legal matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operation. However, matters involving litigation are inherently uncertain. Further, NASDAQ did assert that there has been a violation of its listing standards, which resulted in NASDAQ providing us with a deficiency letter, however in that same letter NASDAQ advised us that we were compliant based upon our submitted plan. The matter is closed with NASDAQ.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

None.Information regarding sales of unregistered securities during the prior year periods covered hereby has been included in previous reports on Form 8-K or 10-K.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None.

 

ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 5. Other Information

 

Employment Agreement with Chief Executive OfficerNot applicable.

 

On November 10, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Carl Schwartz, who has served as Chief Executive Officer since December 1, 2016 and prior to that time was Interim Chief Executive Officer since May 5, 2016. Under the agreement the employment of Dr. Schwartz with the Company is at will. His annualized base salary is $250,000 and will be increased to $275,000 commencing January 1, 2018. Such base salaries may be adjusted by the Company but may not be reduced except in connection with a reduction imposed on substantially all employees as part of a general reduction.


At least ten (10) business days before the beginning of each six month period ending June 30 or December 31 (a “Compensation Period”) during which Dr. Schwartz is employed under this Agreement, he may elect to receive non-qualified stock options for such Compensation Period in lieu of cash. Such options will have an exercise price per share equal to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, will have an aggregate exercise price equal to the dollar amount of base salary to be received in options, will have a term of ten years, and will vest pro rata on a monthly basis over the period of time during which the base salary would have been earned. On June 22, 2017, Dr. Schwartz received options to purchase 85,034 shares at $1.47 per share, representing one-half of his base salary for fiscal 2017 ($125,000). The remaining one-half of his base salary for fiscal 2017 in the amount of $125,000 will be paid as follows: (1) $83,375 in cash, payable in equal installments on each normal payroll date through December 31, 2017, provided Dr. Schwartz is still employed on such date, and (2) a new stock option grant in lieu of $41,625 of salary in the form of non-qualified stock options. The stock options for 28,316 shares were issued on November 10, 2017, have an exercise price per share of $1.47, equal to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, for an aggregate exercise price of $41,625, have a term of ten years, and will be vested in two equal installments on November 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, with exercise subject to further stockholder approval of the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.

Dr. Schwartz will also each be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus for each calendar year at the end of which he remains employed by the Company at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For 2017, the Compensation Committee will award a bonus based on performance of Dr. Schwartz and the Company, including the completion of acquisitions and other factors deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. For 2018 and subsequent year, the bonus will be subject to the attainment of certain objectives, which shall be established in writing by the Employee and the Board prior to each bonus period. The maximum bonus that may be earned by Employee for any year will be not less than 150% of Employee’s then-current base salary.

If the Company terminates the Dr. Schwartz’s employment without cause or if he terminates his employment for “good reason,” he shall be entitled to receive from Company severance pay in an amount equal to six months of base salary (or twelve months in the event of a termination without cause due to a change of control) less applicable taxes and withholdings. In that event, he will receive a bonus payment on a pro-rata basis through the date of termination and any accrued, unused vacation pay. The severance pay, bonus payment, and other consideration are conditioned upon executive’s execution of a full and final release of liability. “Cause” is defined to mean the executive engages in willful misconduct or fails to follow the reasonable and lawful instructions of the Board, if such conduct is not cured within 30 days after notice; the executive embezzles or misappropriates assets of Company or any of its subsidiaries; the executive’s violation of his obligations in the agreement, if such conduct is not cured within 30 days after notice; breach of any agreement between the executive and the Company or to which Company and the executive are parties, or a breach of his fiduciary responsibility to the Company; commission by of fraud or other willful conduct that adversely affects the business or reputation of Company; or, Company has a reasonable belief the executive engaged in some form of harassment or other improper conduct prohibited by Company policy or the law. “Good reason” is defined as (i) a material diminution in Employee’s position, duties, base salary, and responsibilities; or (ii) Company’s notice to Employee that his or her position will be relocated to an office which is greater than 100 miles from Employee’s prior office location. In all cases of Good Reason, Employee must have given notice to Company that an alleged Good Reason event has occurred and the circumstances must remain uncorrected by Company after the expiration of 30 days after receipt by Company of such notice.

During Dr. Schwartz’s employment with the Company and for twelve months thereafter, regardless of the reason for the termination, he will not engage in a competing business, as defined in the agreement and will not solicit any person to leave employment with the Company or solicit clients or prospective clients of the Company with whom he worked, solicited, marketed, or obtained confidential information about during his employment with the Company, regarding services or products that are competitive with any of the Company’s services or products.
