Overview of Operations

The Company focusesRenovaCare, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp. is a development-stage 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.

 

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, all of which have been granted. In August 2019,. The CellMist™ System is a cell isolation procedure that enzymatically renders stem cells from the Company was awarded a continuation of a patent allowing patient’s own skin or other tissues. The resulting stem cell suspension is administered topically from the Company’s novel solution sprayer device (the “SkinGunTM”) as a cell therapy onto wounds including burns to 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.facilitate healing.

 

The CellMistTM System is comprisedCurrently, our proprietary technologies are the subject of (a) a treatment methodology for cell isolation forand 43 U.S. and international patents or patent applications and 14 U.S. and international trademarks. Of the regeneration of human skin cells (the “CellMistTM Solution”)issued patents, five are U.S. patents and (b)twelve have issued or are allowed in Australia, Canada, Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland/Lichenstein, and United Kingdom.

Improvements in the design and efficiency of the CellMist™ System including a closed, self-contained, semi-automated sterileautomated 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 cell isolation and spray gun devices as stand-alone 510 (k)510(k)-cleared products for isolation of cells from other tissues and spraying other solutions of medical 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 tothat 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 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

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements on a “going concern” basis, which presumes that it will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Since Inception, the Company has incurred net operating losses and operating cash flow deficits. The Company does not currently generate revenues and will continue to incur losses from operations and operating cash flow deficits in the future. The Company's activities are subject to significant uncertainty relatingrisks and uncertainties due to the full impactstage of the COVID-19 pandemicdevelopment of the Company's cellular therapies.

At September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $3,400,000 in cash on hand. The Company estimates cash will be depleted in less than one year from the Company’s operations and capital requirements. Should financing when neededdate that these financial statements are available to be unavailable or prohibitively expensive orissued, if the COVID-19 pandemic continue, it may adversely affectCompany does not generate sufficient cash to support operations.

The matters described above raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $8,671,295 of cash on hand and cash equivalents, and working capital of $8,182,984. As a result, 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. 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.

NewRecent Accounting Standards

 

Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental U.S.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.

Note 6. 4. 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 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 $4,356;$4,356; and $4,459$4,459 in year 2 of the lease. The term (and payment of the monthly rent) commencescommenced 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 lease term commenced on August 1, 2020.

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 from “JANI” to “RCAR” effective as of January 9, 2014.”

RenovaCare  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 September 30, 2020, and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.

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 forprocedure that enzymatically renders stem cells from the regeneration of humanpatient’s own skin cells (the “CellMist™ Solution”) and (b)or other tissues. The resulting stem cell suspension is administered topically with our SkinGun™ spray device as a solution sprayer device (the (SkinGun™”) for delivering cellscell therapy onto wounds including burns to the treatment area.facilitate healing.

 

We have filed additional patent applications relatedIn May 2021, the Company announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fully approved the Company’s Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to conduct a clinical trial, designated CELLMIST 1, that will evaluate the safety and feasibility of autologous skin and pluripotent stem cells rendered by its manual CellMist™ System from donor skin and other technologies.applied topically with the electronic SkinGun™ spray device for treatment of acute burn wounds. The clinical trial protocol is an open-label, single-arm clinical study that is enrolling 14 adult human burn subjects with partial-thickness, second-degree deep thermal burn wounds covering between 10% and 30% total body surface area. The Company may engage up to four (4) U.S. burn centers to conduct the clinical study. Currently, the clinical trial is activated, enrolling and treating patients. The CELLMIST 1 clinical study is expected to reach completion in late 2022.

 

Our proprietary CellMist™ System, and its component technologies were the subject of six trademarks and applications and over 37 U.S. and international granted or in-process patents in eight patent families. Our patent filings include three granted patents in the United States, two granted international patents, and two allowed international patents, while all in-process patent filings include the U.S. and multiple foreign jurisdictions. Our issued patents are scheduled to expire between 2026 and 2036 and may or may not be the basis for filing continuations. We continually assess opportunities to seek patent protection for those aspects of our technology, designs, and methodologies and processes that we believe may provide us with significant competitive advantages or additional commercial opportunities.

The development of ourunique new closed, semi-automatedautomated cell isolation device forto harvest stem cells from tissues using the CellMistTM System is in the early stage  and we anticipate that we will be required to expendprototype development. We expect significant time and resources will be devoted to further develop our novel 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.

 

13

We are currently evaluating the potential 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 four (4) U.S. burn centers.

Our Mission and Strategy

Our ultimate goal is to leverage the potential of our CellMistTM System with the SkinGunTM spray device, as next generation cell therapy for burns and other acute and chronic wounds and skin disorders. Before we can do so, however, there are a number of steps we must first take, including:

·initiating a series of clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy of the CellMistTM System with the SkinGunTM spray device for treating partial-thickness second-degree thermal burns;

·formalizing collaborations with academic, scientific, and/or commercial partners;

·creating a network of clinical research partners;

·achieving FDA and/or other regulatory approval and clearance; and

·expanding the range of possible clinical applications for unmet health needs.

We believe that we now have an experienced leadership team which has come together to achieve our mission of improving the lives of burn patients by creating potentially more effective, safer, efficient, and cost-saving treatments. To achieve our goal, we have established the following strategic priorities:

·Obtain marketing approval and prepare to commercialize our CellMistTM System with the SkinGunTM spray device.

We have received conditional approval and we continue to pursue our efforts to secure regulatory (FDA) approval of our IDE in 2020, and if ultimately approved, commence our feasibility study in the United States.

·Selectively pursue strategic partnerships, joint ventures, and licensing opportunities to complement and expand our existing operations.

We intend to continue to pursue strategic licensing, partnership, and joint venture opportunities. We will continue to target opportunities 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 need to pursue financing opportunities, traditional and non-dilutive, and if available on acceptable terms, if at all, in order to raise sufficient capital to fund our ongoing research and development operations in order to expand the range of possible clinical applications of our CellMistTM System.

Our Market Opportunity

Burns

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 definitive 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 132 centers specializing in burn care. Recent estimates in the U.S. show that 40,000 patients are admitted annually for treatment with burn injuries, and 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 each for burn injury and skin disorders requiring similar treatment. The other 4,500 U.S. acute care hospitals average less than 3 burn admissions each 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 https://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).

Wounds

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).

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 cell suspension derived by enzymatic digestion of a patient’s own skin tissue applied topically with our proprietary electronic SkinGunTM spray device to deliver a fine single-cell mist onto the patient’s burn wound.

The duration of the cell isolation and cell spraying procedure is approximately 1.5–2 hours. Published studies show that within days following the wound treatment procedure, complete wound closure occurs, and the skin cells generate a protective skin layer (re-epithelialization), and within weeks to months the skin regains its function, color and texture.

Our cell isolation and cell spraying procedure occur on the same day, in an on-site hospital setting. Because the skin cells sprayed using the SkinGunTM spray device 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 skin layers, and the regenerated skin leaves minimal scarring in observational case studies. 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 a patent continuation, allowing the SkinGunTMspray device to be used to spray all varieties of tissues and cells, thus opening the doorallowing for its potential application in the regeneration of tissues and organs, beyond skin.skin; and, in November 2020 and October 2021, the Company was issued a total of three 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 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 industriesCurrently, our proprietary technologies 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.

Most 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. Our closest direct competitor with their own skin cell therapy for burn wounds received FDA approval in September 2018 and launched its product in 2019; however our next generation skin cell therapy for burn wounds has multiple notable advantages including more cell types from both epidermal and dermal layers of the skin; greater cell yield and viability; smaller ratio of donor tissue to burn wound area; greater burn wound coverage; and single cells applied with the SkinGun™ spray device that rapidly adhere to the burn wound.

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.

Our proprietary CellMist™ System and its component technologies were the subject of six trademarks and applications and over 3743 U.S. and international grantedpatents or in-processpatent applications and 14 U.S. and international trademarks. Of the issued patents, five are U.S. patents and twelve have issued or are allowed in eight patent families. Our patent filings include three granted patentsAustralia, Canada, Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland/Lichenstein, and United Kingdom. The Company has six allowed trademarks in the United States, two granted international patents,European registered trademarks, two United Kingdom trademarks, two Japan trademarks, and two allowed international patents, while all in-process patent filings include the U.S. and multiple foreign jurisdictions. Our issued patents are scheduled to expire between 2026 and 2036, and may or may not be the basis for filing continuations. We continually assess opportunities to seek patent protection for those aspects of our technology, designs, and methodologies and processes that we believe may provide us with significant competitive advantages or additional commercial opportunities.pending in Canada.

 

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.

The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of our new Chief Executive Officer in November 2019 and stock option grants to employees and consultants. Professional fees decreased approximately $518,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to a large decrease in legal fees in the prior period. Other general operating expenses increased approximately $188,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due primarily to increased insurance costs and the charitable gift agreement with the University of Pittsburgh entered into in June 2019.

19

Other Income

Other income relates to interest earned on bank account deposits. Other income decreased approximately $154,000 to approximately $111,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to a lower average cash balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with September 30, 2019 and lower rates being earned on deposits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We do not have any commercialized products, have not generated any revenue since acquiring the technology underlying the CellMist™ System and havehas 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.

14

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.

Although the Company continues to monitor the situation and may adjust policies as more information and public health guidance become available, the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and its dynamic nature, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak and actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or to treat its impact, makes it difficult to assess whether there will be further impact on the development and commercialization of the Company’s technology which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

To date we have not generated any product revenues and do not expect to generate any revenue for the foreseeable 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 and include:

·design, pilot-scale manufacturing and pre-clinical testing of our cell isolation and SkinGunTM spray devices.

·employee-related expenses associated with our research and development activities, including salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.

·

costs associated with quality management systems including device verification and validation testing, and regulatory operations and regulatory compliance.

·expenses incurred under agreements related to our clinical trials.

·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 expect that research and development expenses will increase due to our ongoing product development and approval efforts. We expense research and development costs as incurred.

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 expect general and administrative expenses to increase in the 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.

15

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.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and the reimbursement of legal fees from our Directors & Officers insurance policy.

Income Taxes

We have yet to 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 generate tax losses for the foreseeable future and that we will be able to carry forward these tax losses indefinitely to future taxable years. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay taxes until we have taxable income after the full utilization of our carry forward tax losses. We have provided a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets related to these carry forward losses.

Compensation expense was recorded on these options prior to their full vesting. As a result, the Company recognized a $0 and $1,314,705 reversal of the prior recognized compensation expense related to the cancelled options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The G&A expense recognized for options still in their vesting period totaled $44,000 and $176,104 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
(3)Professional and consultant fees increased primarily due to an increase in legal fees related to the SEC Complaint and fees related to our patents and trademarks offset by a decrease in accounting and consulting fees.
(4)All other costs decreased primarily due to the absence of the charitable contribution to the Office of Research at the University of Pittsburgh which the Company recognized $125,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 in addition to decreases in investor relations and insurance offset by an increase in rent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company does not have any commercialized products, has not generated any meaningful revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows since inception. The Company has incurred operating losses of $7,115,700$3.3 million and $2,448,280 for$7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we have incurred operating losses of $2,842,879 and $1,200,781, respectively.

At September 30, 2020,2021, the Company had $8,671,295approximately $3,400,000 in cash on hand and current liabilities of $713,000. The Company estimates cash and cash equivalents. We believewill be depleted in less than one year from the date that we currently havethese financial statements are available to be issued, if the Company does not generate sufficient cash to meet our funding requirements throughsupport operations. The future of the next fiscal year.Company will depend on its ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to fund operations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate funds, or if such funds are not available to it on acceptable terms, the Company's ability to continue its business to develop its cellular therapies will be significantly impaired and it may cause the Company to curtail operations.

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.

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.

 

18

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 September 30, 2020 because of the material weaknesses described below.

There is2021 due to 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 concludedManagement believes that therethe material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are ineffective monitoring controls relatedintrinsic to theour small size and that this weakness did not have a material effect on our financial closestatements and reporting process, including management’s risk assessment process and its identification, evaluation, and timely remediationresults of control deficiencies.operations.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the period ended September 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 September 30, 2020.2021, 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.
