On January 7, 2014, the Company changed its name at the time from “Janus Resources, Inc.” to “RenovaCare, Inc.” so as to more fully reflect its current operations and business, and changed its trading symbol to “RCAR” effective as of January 9, 2014.

The Company has an authorized capital of 500,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 87,352,364 shares are outstanding as of March 31, 2021, and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.

Overview of Operations

 

RenovaCare, Inc., together withthrough its wholly owned subsidiary, focusesRenovaCare Sciences Corp. is a development-stage company focusing on the acquisition, research, development and commercialization of autologous (using a patient'spatient’s own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications.

 

On July 12, 2013, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp., completed the acquisition of its flagship technologies (collectively, the “CellMistTM System”), along with associated United States patent applications and two foreign patent applications, the first of which was filed on August 23, 2007 (DE 10 2007 040 252.1) and the second of which was filed on April 27, 2011 (DE 10 2011 100 450.9), bothall of which have been granted. One ofThe CellMist™ System is a cell isolation procedure that enzymatically renders stem cells from the US patent applications was granted on November 29, 2016 (Patent No. US 9,505,000) and thepatient’s own skin or other patent application was granted on April 4, 2017 (Patent No. US 9,610,430). tissues. The resulting stem cell suspension is administered topically with our SkinGun™ spray device as a cell therapy onto wounds including burns to facilitate healing.

In August 2019, the Company was awarded a continuation of Patent No. US 9,505,000 (Patent No. US 10,376,658),a patent allowing the Company’s novel solution sprayer device (the “SkinGunTM”) to now be used to spray all varieties of tissues and cells, thus allowing for its potential application in the regeneration of tissues and organs, beyond skin.skin; and, in November 2020, the Company was issued two new patents encompassing improvements to the SkinGun™, expanding its potential application beyond the surgical setting into the field, and allowing the use of liquid suspension solutions to include drugs, hormones, and other useful agents.

The CellMistTM System is comprised

Improvements in the design and efficiency of (a)the CellMist™ System including a treatment methodology forclosed, automated cell isolation device and the SkinGun™ spray device are in development with StemCell Systems (Berlin, Germany), the Company’s R&D innovation partner. The Company is adapting its core technologies for possible use in other clinical indications. The Company is also developing the regenerationcell isolation and spray gun devices as stand-alone 510 (k)-cleared products for isolation of human skin cells (the “CellMistTM Solution”)from other tissues and (b) the SkinGunTM for delivering the cells to the treatment area.

Overviewspraying other solutions of Operationsmedical importance.

 

The Company does not have any commercialized products. The Company's activities have consisted principally of performing research and development activities and raising capital to support such activities. The Company has enlisted the assistance of several Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO) to manufacture clinical supplies including components of the CellMist System™ and the electronic SkinGun™ spray devices in compliance with FDA’s guidance for current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Contract Research Organizations (CRO) to test and validate the Company’s products and processes and to conduct clinical trials that evaluate initially the safety and feasibility of an autologous skin cell therapy using the Company’s products to facilitate burn wound healing. These development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including possible failure of preclinical and clinical testing. The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies and expects that it will need to raise additional capital through partnerships or the sale of its securities to accomplish its business plan. Failing to secure such additional funding before achieving sustainable revenue and profit from operations poses a significant risk. The Company's ability to fund the development of its cellular therapies depends on the amount and timing of cash receipts from future financing activities. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. Additionally, there is significant uncertainty relating to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and capital requirements. Should financing when needed be unavailable or prohibitively expensive or the COVID-19 pandemic continue, it may adversely affect the Company’s ability to (i) retain employees and consultants; (ii) obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all; (iii) delay regulatory submissions and approvals; (iv) delay, limit or preclude the Company from securing clinical study sites; (v) delay, limit or preclude the Company from achieving technology or product development goals, milestones, or objectives; and (vi) preclude or delay entry into joinjoint venture or partnership arrangements. The occurrence of any one or more of such events may affect the Company’s ability to continue on its pathway to commercialization of its technology or products.

Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had $10,258,068$5,607,845 of cash on hand and cash equivalents, and working capital of $9,864,952.$5,303,836. As a result, of the cash on hand and working capital, the Company believes it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months following the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, the Company has experienced and continues to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment. The Company expects that it may need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. If additional funding is required, the Company expects to seek to obtain that funding through private equity or convertible debt. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. See “Overview of Operations” above.

 

Additionally, there is significant uncertainty relating to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and capital requirements. Should financing when needed be unavailable or prohibitively expensive or the COVID-19 pandemic continue, it may adversely affect the Company’s ability to (i) retain employees and consultants; (ii) obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all; (iii) delay regulatory submissions and approvals; (iv) delay, limit or preclude the Company from the operation of clinical study sites and testing laboratories; (v) delay, limit or preclude the Company from achieving technology or product development goals, milestones, or objectives; and (vi) preclude or delay entry into joint venture or partnership arrangements. The occurrence of any one or more of such events may affect the Company’s ability to continue on its pathway to commercialization of its technology or products.

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion other than as discussed above. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. The Company has not included the effects of warrants, or stock options and convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Plan, an option to purchase up to 620,571aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.23. The option was granted in fulfillment ofhave been reserved for issuance to the Company’s obligationofficers, directors, employees and consultants in order to attract and hire key technical personnel and management. Options granted to employees under the terms of Mr. Rubino’s employment agreement dated November 15, 2019. On May 22, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the modification of these 620,5712013 Plan, including directors and officers who are employees, may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; options granted to accelerate the vesting from November 14, 2023 to November 14, 2022. The Company calculated the fair value of the options immediately before and after the modification using the Black-Scholes model. There was no incremental consideration due to the modification.

On May 22, 2020, the Company granted options to two consultants and a board member to purchase an aggregate 1,550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.40. On June 1, 2020, pursuant to his employment agreement, the Company granted Dr. Robin Robinson, the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer, an option to purchase up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.65. On June 22, 2020, pursuant to his employment agreement, the Company granted Robert Cook, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, an option to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.96. The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions regarding volatility, expected term, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate are requiredothers under the Black-Scholes model. The volatility assumption is based on the Company’s historical experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury note with maturity similar2013 Plan are limited to the option award’s expected life. The expected life represents the average periodnon-qualified stock options. As of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.March 31, 2021, there were 16,593,266 shares available for future grants.

  

The assumptions for volatility, expected life, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate for the options granted are as follows:

  Six Months Ended
  June 30, 2020
Risk-free interest rate 0.34%-1.67%
Expected life in years 3.25-4.98
Expected Volatility 105.71%-106.88%
Expected dividend yield  0%

The 2013 Plan is administered by the Board or a committee designated by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the officers, employees and consultants to whom options will be granted, the number of shares covered by each option, vesting rights and the terms and conditions of each option that is granted to them; however, no person may be granted options to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares in any one fiscal year under the 2013 Plan, and the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan are exercisable no later than ten years after the date of grant.

 

The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted under the 2013 Plan is the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of the Company's common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value. No option can be granted under the 2013 Plan after June 20, 2023.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of stock options is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected term of the stock options. The ranges of assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model during the three months ended March 31, 2020 is set forth in the table below:

Three Months Ended
March 31, 2020
Risk-free interest rate1.67%
Expected term in years4.27
Weighted Avg. Expected Volatility107.73%
Expected dividend yield0%

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the expected term. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of an award. Our calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the term of the awards. The average expected life is based on the contractual terms of the stock option using the simplified method. We utilize a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no current intention to pay cash dividends. Future stock-based compensation may significantly differ based on changes in the fair value of our Common Stock and our estimates of expected volatility and the other relevant assumptions.

Note 6. Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of an arrangement. If the Company determines that the arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at lease inception, it then determines whether the lease is an operating lease or finance lease. Operating and finance leases result in recording a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, the Company uses the non-cancellable lease term plus options to extend that it is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. As such, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any class of underlying asset.

 

In February of 2020, the Company entered into a two-year lease for office premises located at 4 Becker Farm Road, Suite 105, Roseland, New Jersey. Monthly base rent in year one of the lease is $3,998;$4,356; and $4,100$4,459 in year 2 of the lease. The term (and payment of the monthly rent) commences upon substantial completion of the landlord’s work, which was expected to occur on or before May 31, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the landlord’s work has not been completed as of the date these condensed interim financial statements have been released. During the period of the landlord’s work, thelease term commenced on August 1, 2020.

The Company does not have the right of use of the office premise; accordingly, the Company has not recognized a ROU asset andany finance leases.

Description of Business

 

We are a development-stage biotechnology and medical device company focusing on the research, development and commercialization of autologous (using a patient’spatient's own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications. The Company does not have any commercialized products. The Company's activities have consisted principally of performing research and development activities, business development efforts, and raising capital to support such activities.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp., owns the CellMist™ System which is comprised of (a) a treatment methodology for cell isolation procedure that enzymatically renders stem cells from the patient’s own skin or other tissues. The resulting stem cell suspension is administered topically with our SkinGun™ spray device as a cell therapy onto wounds including burns to facilitate healing.

In August 2020, the Company announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conditionally approved the Company’s Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to conduct a clinical trial that will evaluate the safety and feasibility of autologous skin and pluripotent stem cells rendered by its manual CellMist™ System from donor skin and applied topically with the electronic SkinGun™ spray device for the regenerationtreatment of acute burn wounds. The clinical trial protocol is an open-label single-arm clinical study that will enroll 14 adult human skin cells (the “CellMist™ Solution”)burn subjects with partial-thickness, second-degree thermal burn wounds covering between 10% and (b) a solution sprayer device (the (SkinGun™”) for delivering cells to the treatment30% total body surface area. Along with US patent applications that were granted in November 2016 (Patent No. US 9,505,000), and April 2017 (Patent No. 9,610,430) and, most recently, in August 2019 (Patent No. 10,376,658). The Company has filed additional patent applications relatedexpects to conduct the CellMist™ System and other technologies.clinical study at four (4) U.S. burn centers commencing in the second quarter of 2021.

 

The development of our new closed, automated cell isolation device for the CellMistTM System is in the early stage, and we anticipate that we will be required to expendexpect significant time and resources will be devoted to further develop our technology and determine whether a commercially viable product can be developed.the commercial feasibility of the product. Research and development of new technologies involvesinvolve a high degree of risk, and there is no assurance that our development activities will result in a commercially viable product. The long-term profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our development programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.

 

The Company has not generated any revenue and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies and expects that it will need to raise additional capital through partnerships or the sale of its securities to accomplish its business plan. Failing to secure such additional funding before achieving sustainable revenue and profit from operations poses a significant risk. The Company's ability to fund the development of its cellular therapies depends on the amount and timing of cash receipts from future financing activities. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

Additionally, there is significant uncertainty relating to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and capital requirements. Should financing when needed be unavailable or prohibitively expensive or the COVID-19 pandemic continue, it may adversely affect the Company’s ability to (i) retain employees and consultants; (ii) obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all; (iii) delay regulatory submissions and approvals; (iv) delay, limit or preclude the Company from the operation of clinical study sites and testing laboratories; (v) delay, limit or preclude the Company from achieving technology or product development goals, milestones, or objectives; and (vi) preclude or delay entry into joint venture or partnership arrangements. The occurrence of any one or more of such events may affect the Company’s ability to continue its pathway to commercialization of its technology or products.

Components of Our Results of Operations

We are currently evaluating

Revenue

To date we have not generated any product revenues and do not expect to generate any revenue for the potentialforeseeable future. Our ability to generate revenue and become profitable depends upon our ability to obtain marketing approval and successfully commercialization of our CellMistTM System.

Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of our CellMistTM System in the treatment of tissue that has been subject to severe trauma such as second-degree burns. The CellMistTM System utilizes the patient’s own skin stem cells, and can reduce the size of the donor site and significantly decrease scarring. Furthermore, we believe the CellMistTM System could enable treatment of other skin disorders with minimal scarring.

In August 2020, the Company announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) conditionally approved the Company’s Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to conduct a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and feasibility of autologous stem cells rendered by its CellMist™ System from donor skin and applied topically with the SkinGun™ spray device for treatment of burn wounds. The clinical trial protocol is for an open-label single-arm clinical study that will enroll 14 human burn subjects with partial-thickness second- or- third degree thermal burn wounds. The Company expects to conduct the clinical study at multiple U.S. burn centers.

Our Mission and Strategy

Our ultimate goal is to leverage the potential of our CellMistTM System, as cutting-edge treatments in skin therapy. Before we can do so, however, there are a number of steps we must first take, including:include:

 

 ·initiating a seriespilot-scale manufacturing of clinical trials to determine the CellMistour cell isolation and SkinGunTM System’s safety and efficacy for treating wounds and burns;spray devices.

 ·formalizing collaborationsemployee-related expenses associated with universities, scientific, and/or commercial partners;our research and development activities, including salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.

 ·creating a network of clinical research partners;costs associated with regulatory operations and regulatory compliance.

 ·achieving FDA and/or other regulatory clearance; andexpenses incurred under agreements related to our clinical trials.

 ·expanding the range of possible clinical applications.other research and development costs including contract consulting fees and non-cash stock-based compensation to contract research organizations (CROs) and other third parties.

 

We do not believe that it is possible at this time to accurately project total expenses required for us to reach commercialization of our CellMistTM System. In the future, we now have an experienced leadership team which has come togetherexpect that research and development expenses will increase due to achieve our mission of improving the lives of burn patients by creating potentially more effective, saferongoing product development and tolerable treatments. To achieve our goal, we have established the following strategic priorities:approval efforts. We expense research and development costs as incurred.

 

·Obtain regulatory approval and prepare to commercialize our CellMistTM System.

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation related to directors and employees, professional service costs including legal, accounting, and other consulting fees and other general and administrative expenses including investor relations, insurance, and facilities costs. We intendexpect general and administrative expenses to continue to pursue our efforts to secure regulatory (FDA) approval in 2020, and if ultimately approved, commence our feasibility studyincrease in the United States.future as we hire personnel and incur additional costs to support the expansion of our research and development activities and our operation as a public company.

 

·Selectively pursue strategic partnership, join venture, and licensing opportunities to complement our existing operations.

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

We intendhave yet to continue to pursue strategic licensing, partnership, and joint venture opportunities.generate taxable income. We have historically incurred operating losses resulting in carry forward tax losses totaling approximately $22.3 million as of December 31, 2020. We anticipate that we will continue to target opportunitiesgenerate tax losses for the foreseeable future and that will complement our existing technology and operations to create value for stockholders and support our business strategy and mission.

·Secure additional financing as and when required.

Additionally, we will needbe able to pursue financing opportunities, traditional and non-dilutive, and if available on acceptable terms, if at all, in ordercarry forward these tax losses indefinitely to raise sufficient capitalfuture taxable years. Accordingly, we do not expect to fund our ongoing research and development operations in order to expandpay taxes until we have taxable income after the range of possible clinical applicationsfull utilization of our CellMistTM System.carry forward tax losses. We have provided a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets related to these carry forward losses.

Our Market Opportunity

We believe that expedited healing is urgently needed for patients suffering from burns, chronic wounds, acute wounds and scars. In the U.S. alone, this $45 billion market is greater than spending on high-blood pressure management, cholesterol treatments, and back pain therapeutics.Results of Operations

 

BurnsComparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020

Burns are one of the most common and devastating forms of trauma. Most burn injuries involve layers of the upper skin, the epidermis. Severe major trauma involves a complete loss of the entire thickness of the skin and often requires major surgery involving split-skin mesh-grafting. Skin grafting is a procedure where healthy skin is removed from one area of the body and transplanted to a wound site.

Patients with serious thermal injury require immediate specialized care in order to minimize morbidity and mortality. Data from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control in the U.S. show that approximately 2 million fires are reported each year which result in 1.2 million people with burn injuries (see American Burn Association Burn Incidence and Treatment in the US: 2000 Fact Sheet, available at: http://www.ameriburn.org). Moderate to severe burn injuries requiring hospitalization account for approximately 100,000 of these cases, and about 5,000 patients die each year from burn-related complications (see Church D, Elsayed S, Reid O, Winston B, Lindsay R “Burn wound infections” Clinical Microbiology Reviews 2006;19(2):403–34, available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1471990).

The prevalence of patients with severe burns is even higher in emerging economies. For example, according to the World Health Organization over 1,000,000 people in India are moderately to severely burnt every year and approximately 180,000 people worldwide die from burn related injuries (see World Health Organization “Burns: Fact Sheet No. 365,” reviewed March 6, 2018, available at: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs365/en/). According to Critical Care, an international clinical medical journal, burns are also among the most expensive traumatic injuries because of long and costly hospitalization, rehabilitation and wound and scar treatment (see Brusselaers, N., Monstrey, et al, “Severe Burn Injury in Europe: A systematic Review of the Incidence, Etiology, Morbidity, and Mortality” available at: http://ccforum.com/content/14/5/R188).

Burn injuries account for a significant cost to the health care system in North America and worldwide. In the U.S. there are currently 128 centers specializing in burn care. Recent estimates in the U.S. show that 40,000 patients are admitted annually for treatment with burn injuries, over 60% of the estimated U.S. acute hospitalizations related to burn injury were admitted to burn centers. Such centers now average over 200 annual admissions for burn injury and skin disorders requiring similar treatment. The other 4,500 U.S. acute care hospitals average less than 3 burn admissions per year (see American Burn Association Burn Incidence and Treatment in the US: 2013 Fact Sheet, available at: http://www.ameriburn.org).

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the annual costs for the treatment of burns is $1.5 billion, with another $5 billion in costs associated with lost work (see http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/statbriefs/sb217-Burn-Hospital-Stays-ED-Visits-2013.pdf). Initial hospitalization costs and physicians' fees for specialized care of a patient with a major burn injury are currently estimated to be $200,000. Overall, costs escalate for major burn cases because of repeated admissions for reconstruction and rehabilitation therapy. In the U.S., current annual estimates show that more than $18 billion is spent on specialized care of patients with major burn injuries (see Church D, Elsayed S, Reid O, Winston B, Lindsay R “Burn wound infections” Clinical Microbiology Reviews 2006;19(2):403–34, available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1471990).

 

WoundsResearch and Development Expenses

According to The Wall Street Journal, 6.5 million people are affected by chronic wounds, and $25 billion is spent annually on treating chronic wounds on patients in the U.S. alone (see Järbrink, Krister et al. “Prevalence and incidence of chronic wounds and related complications: a protocol for a systematic review.” Systematic reviews vol. 5,1 152. 8 Sep. 2016 doi:10.1186/s13643-016-0329-y).

Total research and development expenses increased by $0.9 million from $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Manufacturing clinical supplies increased $0.2 million due to the pilot-scale manufacturing and validation testing of the components of the CellMist™ System and the electronic SkinGun™ spray device to be used in our clinical trials. Personnel related expenses, including stock-based compensation, increased $0.3 million due to the hiring of new R&D leadership to support the development of our CellMist™ System. Clinical trial expenses increased $0.3 million due to the addition of clinical professionals and costs related to the preparation of our clinical trials which we expect to begin in the second quarter of 2021. We expect clinical trial expenses to increase significantly in 2021 due to patient enrollment, treatment, follow-up visits, and medical site monitoring. All other expenses decreased $7 thousand, as validation testing for the electronic SkinGun ™ concludes and we transition to prototype development of the cell isolation device at StemCell Systems.

Excluding stock-based compensation, general and administrative expenses increased by $47 thousand.

Stock-Based Compensation

Expense associated with equity based transactions is calculated and expensed in our financial statements as required pursuant to various accounting rules and is non-cash in nature. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options. Stock compensation expense decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to the forfeiture and cancellation of 2,730,571 stock options as a result of the resignation of Alan Rubino, the Company’s former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the termination of his employment agreement, and the removal, by the Company’s stockholders of Kenneth Kirkland and Lydia Evans, as members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Compensation expense was recorded on these options prior to their full vesting. As a result, the Company recognized a $1,248,575 reversal of the prior recognized compensation expense related to the cancelled options. The expense recognized for options still in their vesting period totaled $373,815.

The Wound Care Market Global Forecast to 2024 report issued by Markets& Markets states that in 2019, advanced wound care products accounted for the largest market share and is expected to have the highest growth projected at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6% to 2024. Major factors driving the growth of this market of hard-to-heal wounds are an increase in an aging population and greater prevalence of chronic disease, including diabetes and obesity. The development of regenerative medicine and healing capabilities allow for more effective treatment, quicker healing and improved health economic outcomes.

The healthcare facilities (hospitals and clinics) segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019 as these systems are used for critical cases, improve quality of care for patients, and have the infrastructure and resources to support treatment.

Our Technology

Our CellMist System is comprised of the CellMistTM solution, a liquid suspension of a patient’s own skin cells, and our proprietary SkinGunTM sprays isolated stem cells and related skin cells from a small biopsy of the patient's skin. The stem cells are placed into the CellMistTM solution, which is then filled into a sterile syringe. The sterile syringe is inserted into the SkinGunTM, which then sprays the stem cell-loaded liquid solution into the wound.

The first phase of gathering the patient's skin cells, creating a liquid solution, and applying the stem cells takes approximately 1.5–2 hours. Published studies show that within days following the wound treatment procedure, the skin cells generate a protective skin layer (re-epithelialization), and within months the skin regains its color and texture.

Our cell isolation procedure and the cell spraying are performed on the same day, in an on-site setting. Because the skin cells sprayed using the SkinGunTM are actually the patient's own cells, the skin that is regenerated looks more natural than other skin replacement technologies. During recovery, the skin cells grow into fully functional layers of the skin and the regenerated skin leaves minimal scarring in observational patient treatment. Additionally, our methods require substantially smaller donor areas than skin grafting, reducing donor area burden such as pain and the risk of complications.

In August 2019, the Company was awarded a continuation of Patent No. US 9,505,000 (Patent No. US 10,376,658), allowing the SkinGunTM to be used to spray all varieties of tissues and cells, thus opening the door for its potential application in the regeneration of tissues and organs, beyond skin.

The CellMistTMSystem remains an experimental, unproven methodology and we continue to evaluate its safety and efficacy. There is no guarantee that we will able to develop a commercially viable product based upon the CellMistTMSystem and its underlying technology.

Competition

The biotechnology, medical device, and wound care industries are characterized by intense competition, rapid product development and technological change. Our CellMistTM System competes with a variety of companies in the wound care markets, many of which offer substantially different treatments for similar problems.

Many of our competitors are larger, well-established companies with considerably greater financial, marketing, sales and technical resources than those available to us. Additionally, many of our present and potential competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow them to develop new or improved products that may compete with our product lines. Our potential products could be rendered obsolete or made uneconomical by the development of new products to treat the conditions addressed by our products, technological advances affecting the cost of production, or marketing or pricing actions by one or more of our competitors.

Intellectual Property

General

In the course of conducting our business, we from time to time create inventions. Obtaining, maintaining and protecting our inventions, including seeking patent protection, might be important depending on the nature of the invention. To that end, we seek to implement patent and other intellectual property strategies to appropriately protect our intellectual property. While we file and prosecute patent applications to protect our inventions, our pending patent applications might not result in the issuance of patents or issued patents might not provide competitive advantages. Also, our patent protection might not prevent others from developing competitive products using related or other technology.

The scope, enforceability and effective term of issued patents can be highly uncertain and often involve complex legal and factual questions. Moreover, the issuance of a patent in one country does not assure the issuance of a patent with similar claim scope in another country, and claim interpretation and infringement laws vary among countries, so we are unable to predict the extent of patent protection in any country. The patents we obtain and the unpatented proprietary technology we hold might not afford us significant commercial protection or advantage.

In addition to issued patents describe above, we plan to file additional patent applications that, if issued, would provide further protection for The CellMistTM System. Although we believe the bases for these patents and patent applications are sound, they are untested; and there is no assurance that they will not be successfully challenged. There can be no assurance that any patent previously issued will be of commercial value, that any patent applications will result in issued patents of commercial value, or that our technology will not be held to infringe patents held by others.

Our research and development costs consist primarily of expenses incurred under agreements for preclinical support to our regulatory submissions including manufacturing of our clinical trial supplies, consultants that assist in research and development activities and employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits, and non-cash share-based compensation.

We make payments to consultants based on agreed upon terms that may include payments in advance of preclinical support. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. Advance payments to be expensed in future research and development activities are capitalized, and were $150,050 at June 30, 2020 and $0 at December 31, 2019. Research and development expenditures will continue to be significant as we continue development of our CellMistTM System.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expensesaccounts payable, and accountscontract and contribution payable, approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and their liquidity. It is not practical to determine the fair value of the Company’s notes payable and accrued interest due to the complex terms. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

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. Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

21

 

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports 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 the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 because of the material weaknesses described below.

 

There is inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is comprised of a very small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations of segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. In addition, management has concluded that there are ineffective monitoring controls related to the financial close and reporting process, including management’s risk assessment process and its identification, evaluation, and timely remediation of control deficiencies.

 

Accordingly, as a result of identifying the above material weakness we have concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.

17

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size.

Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material effect on our financial results and intends to take remedial actions as we further develop our technology.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the period ended June 30, 2020 the company hired additional personnel including a new Chief Financial Officer to work to remediate material weaknesses ofThere were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), or in factors that could materially affect internal controls, during the periodthree months ended June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021, or subsequent to the date that management completed their evaluation, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.
