The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of RenovaCare, Inc. and Subsidiary (“RenovaCare” or the “Company”) as of September 30, 2021,2022, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2021,2022, results of operations and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 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.

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 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.

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.

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company has preparednot generated any revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. On September 30, 2022, the Company had $100,738 in cash on hand, current liabilities of $1,710,706 and an accumulated deficit of $38,639,242. The Company has historically funded its consolidated financial statements on a “going concern” basis, which presumes that it will be able to realize its assetsoperations through the issuance of convertible notes, the sale of common stock and discharge its liabilitiesissuance of warrants.

The Company evaluated whether there are any conditions and events, considered 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 liabilitiesaggregate, that may result should the Company be unableraise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

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 activitiesCompany’s current plans, which are subject to significant riskschange, management believes that the Company’s existing cash as of September 30, 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 uncertainties dueits directors and officers, pursuant to the indemnification clause in the Company’s bylaws, against various Lawsuits (as each of those terms are defined in “Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings” below) currently consisting of a civil action filed by the SEC and two class actions and four derivative actions. See “Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Proceedings.” The legal costs to defend the Company against the Lawsuits have been material. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1,413,185 and $3,469,527, respectively, in legal costs related to the Lawsuits and received $1,524,674 of reimbursements from our directors and officer’s (the “D&O Policy”) insurance policy. The D&O Policy coverage is exhausted as of September 30, 2022. 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, 1) 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), and 2) advanced, on behalf of the Company to its legal counsel, $750,000 on August 3, 2022.

As noted above, management believes that the Company’s existing cash as of September 30, 2022, are insufficient to fund operations.satisfy its operating cash needs for the year after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If the Company is unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, 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 that the Company will be able to obtain adequate funds, or if such funds are not available to itthe needed financing on acceptable terms or at all. Additionally, equity or convertible debt financings will likely have a dilutive effect on the Company'sholdings of the Company’s existing stockholders. Debt financing may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting the Company’s ability to continue its business to develop its cellular therapies willtake specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends, and may be significantly impaired and it may causesecured by all or a portion of the Company to curtail operations.

Accounting 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.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). 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 on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is set forth in the table below:2022:

 

Summary of assumption of stock option activity          
  Nine Months Ended September 30,
  2021 2020
Risk-free interest rate  0.73%  0.021%1.67% 
Expected term in years  5.38   3.256.00 
Weighted Avg. Expected Volatility  102.07   103.56%110.71% 
Expected dividend yield  0%   0% 

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.

Overview

 

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'sCompany’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 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 willdesigned 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 is enrollingdesignated 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 may engage up to four (4) U.S. burn centers to conduct the clinical study. Currently,

During the end of Q1 2022, the Board decided to stop enrollment of patients into the clinical trial is activated, enrolling and treating patients. The CELLMIST 1 clinical study is expectedtake other measures to reach completionreduce the Company’s overhead to conserve financial resources as it continues to defend against the Lawsuits as described under “Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies in late 2022.

Our unique new closed, automated cell isolation device to harvest stem cells from tissues using the CellMistTM System is in prototype development. We expect significant time and resources will be devoted to develop our novel technology and determine the commercial feasibility of the product. Research and development of new technologies involve 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 relatedfootnotes to the cost and success of our development programs, which may be affected byfinancial statements above. The Company hopes to restart the clinical trial at a number of factors.

In August 2019,future date upon the Company was awarded a continuationoccurrence of a patent allowingfavorable outcome against the SkinGunTM to be used to spray all varieties of tissuesLawsuits and cells, thus allowing for its potential application in the regeneration of tissues and organs, beyond 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.

Currently, our proprietary technologies are the subject of and 43 U.S. and international patents or patent 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 Australia, 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 European registered trademarks, two United Kingdom trademarks, two Japan trademarks, and two pending in Canada.with additional financing.

The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies and expects that it will need to raisewell as an ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital through partnerships orinvestment. The future of the saleCompany will depend on its ability to successfully raise capital from external sources.

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$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.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense consists of the interest payable under our convertible note ($4,367), impairment of intangible asset ($152,854) and loss on disposal of assets ($19,626) offset by other income related to interest earned on bank deposits ($1,659) and the reimbursement of legal fees from our Directors & Officers insurance policy ($1,524,674). The Company’s D&O policy limit of $2,000,000 was reached during the three months ended September 30, 2022, and no additional reimbursements will be realized.

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company has incurred operating losses of $3.3 million$5,748,824 and $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021$3,323,152, respectively, and 2020,has used cash in operating activities of $3,553,454 and $3,991,204, 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 September 30, 2022, the Company had current and total liabilities of $1,710,706 and $2,515,073 respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s working capital was negative $655,332. 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, entering into a loan agreement with Kalen Capital for $800,000 on March 18, 2022 and accepting an advance of $825,000 from Kalen Capital paid directly to the Company’s legal counsel. As a result of the actions taken, the Company has temporarily improved its ability to remain solvent. However, due to the nature and 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. At September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $3,400,000 in cash on hand and current liabilities of $713,000. The Company estimates cash will be depleted in less than one year from the date that these financial statements are available to be issued, if the Company does not generate sufficient cash to support operations. The future of the 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. Although the Company has instituted cost savings measures, it will continue to assess its ongoing expenses.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to operating costs of $3.3 million and the payment of liabilities of approximately $600 thousand.

Net cash used in investing was $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $49 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

There was no net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

 

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accountsinterest 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 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.

 

Market Risk Disclosures

 

We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or year ended December 31, 2020,2022, and the subsequent period through the date of this report.

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 September 30, 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.

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, 2021 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. 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 and that this weakness did not have a material effect on our financial statements and results of operations.

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 September 30, 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in litigation and other proceedings, including matters related to intellectual property and regulatory claims. See Note 58 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for information on certain legal proceedings, which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by numerous risks. In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2020.2021. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

We are the subject of an SEC Complaint. Adverse developments in our ongoing proceeding and/or future legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

We are currently subject to an SEC Complaint. Refer to Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding this specific matter. We may be subject to additional investigations, arbitration proceedings, audits, regulatory inquiries and similar actions, including matters related to intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, tax, accounting, class action and product liability, as well as regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry, which we refer to collectively as legal proceedings. We cannot predict the outcome of any particular proceeding, or whether ongoing investigations, will be resolved favorably or ultimately result in charges or material damages, fines or other penalties, enforcement actions, bars against serving as an officer or director, or practicing before the SEC, or civil or criminal proceedings against us or members of our senior management.

Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and we are unable to predict how long the legal proceedings to which we are currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations or our stock price. Any proceeding could negatively impact our reputation among our stakeholders. Furthermore, publicity surrounding ongoing legal proceedings, even if resolved favorably for us, could result in additional legal proceedings against us, as well as damage our image.
