NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Organization, Overview of Operations, Liquidity,Going Concern, Recent Accounting Standards and Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of RenovaCare, Inc. and Subsidiary (the(“RenovaCare” or theCompany”) as of March 31, 2021,2022, and for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 20202021 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for  quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These Consolidated Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20202021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.30, 2022.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2021,2022, results of operations and stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

RenovaCare, Inc. was incorporated on July 14, 1983 inunder the laws of the State of Utah under the nameon July 14, 1983 as Far West Gold, Inc., and changed its domicile to Nevada in 1997. 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$0.00001 par value common stock, of which 87,352,364 shares are outstanding as of March 31, 2021,2022, and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001$0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which noneNaN are outstanding.

Overview of Operations

 

RenovaCare, 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’s own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications.

 

On July 12, 2013, the Company 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. . The CellMist™ System is a 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 2019, the Company was awarded a continuation of a patent allowing from the Company’s novel solution sprayer device (the “SkinGunTM”) as a cell therapy onto wounds including burns to be used to spray all varietiesfacilitate healing.

Currently, the Company’s proprietary technologies are the subject of tissuesforty-four (44) U.S. and cells, thus allowing for its potential applicationforeign granted or pending patents or patent applications and seventeen (17) U.S. and foreign trademarks. Of the issued patents, five (5) are U.S. patents and seventeen (17) have issued or are allowed in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland/Liechtenstein, and the United Kingdom. The Company has six (6) allowed trademarks in the regeneration of tissuesUnited States, two (2) European registered trademarks, two (2) United Kingdom trademarks, two (2) Japan trademarks, and organs, beyond skin; and,two (2) pending 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.

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

 

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 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

Going Concern

The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from 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 tosince inception. At March 31, 2022, the Company if at all; (iii) delay regulatory submissionshad approximately $1,870,000 in cash on hand, current liabilities of $1,387,429 and approvals; (iv) delay, limit or precludean accumulated deficit of $35,967,238. The Company has historically funded its operations through the issuance of convertible notes, the sale of common stock and issuance of warrants.

The Company from securing clinical study sites; (v) delay, limit or precludeevaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered in 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’saggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue on its pathway to commercialization of its technology or products.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2021,as a going concern within one year beyond the Company had $5,607,845 of cash on hand and cash equivalents, and working capital of $5,303,836. As a result, the Company believes it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months following the issuancefiling of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However,Based on such evaluation and the Company’s current plans, which are subject to change, management believes that the Company’s existing cash as of March 31, 2022 is insufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the year after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company is responsible to bear the costs to defend itself and its directors and officers, pursuant to the indemnification clause in the Company’s bylaws, against various Lawsuits (as defined in “Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings” below) currently consisting of a civil action filed by the SEC and two class actions and three derivative actions. See “Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings.” The legal costs to defend the Company against the Lawsuits are expected to be material. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company made legal retainer payments totaling $1,180,000 and incurred $864,000 in legal costs related to the Lawsuits. To assist the Company in paying the costs to defend against the Lawsuits, Kalen Capital Corporation, an Alberta Canada corporation (“Kalen Capital”) which is wholly-owned by the Mr. Harmel S. Rayat (“Mr. Rayat”), the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, loaned the Company $800,000 on March 18, 2022, as evidenced by the Unsecured Note (as defined in “Note 3. Related Party Convertible Promissory Note” below). Due to the nature and early stage of the Lawsuits, the Company is unable to estimate the total costs to defend itself or the potential costs to the Company in the event that it is not successful in its defense.

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 future of the Company expectswill depend on its ability to successfully raise capital from external sources. As noted above, management believes that it may needthe Company’s existing cash as of March 31, 2022 are insufficient to raise additional capitalsatisfy its operating cash needs for the year after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If the Company is unable to accomplishmaintain sufficient financial resources, its business, plan over the next several years.financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. This could affect future development and business activities and potential future product development and/or other future ventures. There can be no assurance asthat the Company will be able to obtain the availabilityneeded financing on acceptable terms or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. See “Overview of Operations” above.

Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification.Pronouncements Recently Adopted

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40),” to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Amongst other provisions, the amendments in this ASU significantly changed the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity such that fewer conversion features will require separate recognition, and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants, will require liability treatment. For smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. 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 ofadopted the new standards will have a significantstandard on January 1, 2022, with no impact on theto its financial statements.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"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.

 

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020:2021:

Note 5. Stock Options

On June 20, 2013, the Company’s Board adopted the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and on November 15, 2013, a stockholder owning a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock approved adoption to the 2013 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Plan, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants in order to attract and hire key technical personnel and management. Options granted to employees under the 2013 Plan, including directors and officers who are employees, may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; options granted to others under the 2013 Plan are limited to non-qualified stock options. As of March 31, 2021, there were 16,593,266 shares available for future grants.

8

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.

The following table sets forth the share-based compensation cost resulting from stock option grants, including those previously granted and vesting over time, that were recorded in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020:2021:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

During our first quarter 2021, certain individuals resigned from the Company resulting in the forfeiture and cancellation of 2,730,571 options. 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 expensed recognized for options still in their vesting period totaled $373,815 ($278,815 in R&D expense and $95,000 in G&A expense).

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 2020, the Company entered into a two-year lease for office premises located at 4 Becker Farm Road, Suite 105, Roseland, New Jersey.Jersey (the “Premises”). 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. The Company vacated the premises in May of 2021 and relocated its corporate offices to 9375 E. Shea Blvd., Suite 107-A, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.

The Company’s existing lease is not subject to any restrictions or covenants which preclude its ability to pay dividends, obtain financing, or enter into additional Lease’s.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has not entered into any leases which have not yet commenced which would entitle the Company to significant rights or create additional obligations.

 

The Company does not have any finance leases.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of RenovaCare, Inc. (“RenovaCare”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively with RenovaCare, “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis the Company reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” and have not changed significantly since 2020.

Overview

 

We are a development-stage biotechnology and medical device company focusing on the research, development and commercialization of autologous (using a patient'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 a 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. The CellMist™ System also includes our unique, closed, automated cell isolation device (the “CID”) to harvest stem cells from tissues which is in prototype development.

Currently, our proprietary technologies are the subject of forty-four (44) U.S. and foreign granted or pending patents or patent applications and seventeen (17) U.S. and foreign trademarks. Of the issued patents, five (5) are U.S. patents and seventeen (17) have issued or are allowed in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland/Lichtenstein, and the United Kingdom. The Company has six (6) allowed trademarks in the United States, two (2) European registered trademarks, two (2) United Kingdom trademarks, two (2) Japan trademarks, and two (2) pending in Canada.

 

In August 2020,May 2021, the Company announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conditionallyfully approved the Company’s Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to conduct a clinical trial, that willdesignated CELLMIST 1, designed to 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 treatment of acute burn wounds. The clinical trial protocol is an open-label, single-arm clinical study that willdesignated to enroll 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 expectsmay engage up to conduct the clinical study at four (4) U.S. burn centers commencingto conduct the clinical study.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Board decided to stop enrollment of patients into the clinical trial and take other measures to reduce the Company’s overhead in an effort to conserve financial resources as it continues to defend against the Lawsuits; however, medical evaluation of the treated subjects will continue periodically as scheduled in the second quarterclinical protocol at the clinical study site until October 2022, when the study concludes. The Company hopes to restart the clinical trial at a future date upon the occurrence of 2021.a favorable outcome against the Lawsuits and additional financing. 

 

TheResearch, development of our new closed, automated cell isolation device for the CellMistTM System is in the early stage, and we expect significant time and resources will be devoted to develop our technology and determine the commercial feasibility of the product. Research and developmentcommercialization of new technologies involvegenerally requires significant financial resources, involves 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 itdefends itself against the Lawsuits (as defined in “Part 2-Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings”). The Company 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 meet its financial obligations, including 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

 

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.

 

Operating Expenses

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.trial.
 ·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.company and to defend against the Lawsuits.

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 expense consists of the interest payable under our convertible note. Other income consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.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$21,945,000 as of December 31, 2020.2021. 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.

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.

(1)Manufacturing clinical supplies decreased due to completion of 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 which mostly tailed off during the quarters ended March 31, 2021.
(2)Personnel related expenses decreased primarily due to the absence of a bonus paid to our Chief Science Officer during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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. TheDuring the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has incurred operating losses of $0.5 million$1,743,000 and $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021$517,000, respectively and 2020,has used cash in operating activities of $1,779,000 and $1,805,000, respectively. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues to fund its legal defense and scaled-back development of its products and technologies.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had current and total liabilities of $1,387,000 and $2,188,000, respectively, including $1,176,000 of current liabilities related to its defense against the Lawsuits compared to $2,776,000 of current assets. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s working capital totaled $1,388,433 not including approximately $1,042,000 in proceeds expected to be realized under its D&O Policy with AIG. In order to preserve its cash resources, the Company has taken measures to streamline operations, including ending enrollment of patients into its clinical trial, renegotiating and terminating certain agreements and service arrangements and entered into a loan agreement with Kalen Capital Corporation, an Alberta Canada corporation (“Kalen Capital”) which is wholly-owned by the Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, for $800,000 on March 18, 2022. As a result of the actions taken, the Company is in an improved position to maintain its solvency. However, due to the nature and early stage of the Lawsuits, the Company is unable to estimate the total costs to defend itself or the potential costs to the Company in the event that it is not successful in its defense. As a result, the Company estimates cash on hand will be insufficient for the twelve months following the date these financial statements are issued.

Historically, the Company has been funded through the sale of equity securities and debt financings. AsThe future of March 31, 2021, the Company had $5.6 million of cash. Thewill depend on its ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to fund operations. If the Company believes thatis unable to obtain adequate funds, or if such funds are not available to it currentlyon 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. Although the Company has sufficient cashinstituted cost savings measures, it will continue to meetassess its funding requirements over the next year.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to operating costs of $1.3 million and the payment of liabilities of approximately $0.5 million.

Net cash used in investing was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $8 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

There was no net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.ongoing expenses.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

 

The carrying value of cash, and cash equivalents, accounts payable and contract and contributioninterest 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

Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

 

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 underUnder the supervision and with the participation of our principal executivemanagement, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions,Interim Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and effected byoperation of 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 “disclosuredisclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rulein Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the Exchange Act,end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that are designed to provide reasonable assuranceas of March 31, 2022, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reportsour SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’sour management, including its Principalour Chief Executive Officer and PrincipalChief 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 March 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

 

There were no changes in our internal controlscontrol 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,occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021, or subsequent to the dateperiod covered by this report that management completed their evaluation, thathas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financingfinancial reporting.
