Motus GI Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1 – Description of Business

Motus GI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware, U.S.A. in September 2016. The Company and its subsidiaries, Motus GI Technologies, Ltd. and Motus GI, LLC.,LLC, are collectively referred to as “Motus GI” or the “Company”.

The Company has developed the Pure-Vu System, a medical device that has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to help facilitate the cleansing of a poorly prepared gastrointestinal tract during colonoscopy and to help facilitate upper gastrointestinal (“GI”) endoscopy procedures.  The Pure-Vu System has received a CE Mark in the EU for use onin colonoscopy.  The Pure-Vu System integrates with standard and slim colonoscopes, as well as gastroscopes, to improve visualization during colonoscopy and upper GI procedures while preserving established procedural workflow and techniques.  Through irrigation and evacuation of debris, the Pure-Vu System is designed to provide better-quality exams. The Company beganhas begun commercialization in the fourth quarter of 2019, with the first commercial placements of its second generation Pure-VuPure Vu System as part of its initial U.S. market launch targeting early adopter hospitals. The Companybut does not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales until the COVID-19 pandemic has fully subsided and it further expands its commercialization efforts, for the Pure-Vu System, which is subject to significant uncertainty.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2020 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods. The December 31, 2020 balance sheet information was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

To date, the Company has generated minimal revenues, experienced negative operating cash flows and has incurred substantial operating losses from its activities. Management expects the Company to continue to generate substantial operating losses and to continue to fund its operations primarily through utilization of its current financial resources, future product sales, and through the issuance of debt or equity. While the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the financial markets have been subject to significant volatility that adversely impacts the Company’s ability to enter into, modify, and negotiate favorable terms and conditions relative to equity and debt financing initiatives. The uncertain financial markets, potential disruptions in supply chains, mobility restraints, and changing priorities could also affect the Company’s ability to enter into key agreements. The outbreak and government measures taken in response to the pandemic have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred; supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services, such as certain medical services and supplies, have spiked, while demand for other goods and services have fallen. The future progression of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business and operations are uncertain. The Company and its third-party contract manufacturers, contract research organizations, and clinical sites may also face disruptions in procuring items that are essential to the Company’s research and development activities, including, for example, medical and laboratory supplies, in each case, that are sourced from abroad or for which there are shortages because of ongoing efforts to address the outbreak. These disruptions may negatively impact the Company’s sales, its results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity in 2021.

The Company has financed its operations primarily through sales of equity-related securities. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $108,370,$117,936, total current assets of $29,814$24,878 and total current liabilities of $10,243$2,646 resulting in working capital of $19,571.$22,232. For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 the Company incurred a net loss of $4,649.$14,215. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $27,749. Under the terms of the loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), the Company must maintain unrestricted cash in accounts held at SVB of at least $10,000 (the “Liquidity Covenant”). The Company will need to raise additional capital or generate substantial revenue in order to ensure compliance with the Liquidity Covenant to support its development and commercialization efforts. If adequate funds are not available to the Company on a timely basis, or at all, it may breach the Liquidity Covenant, in which case, the Company would be required to immediately pledge to the bank and thereafter maintain in a separate account, unrestricted and unencumbered cash in an amount equal to the amount then outstanding under the loan agreement.$23,652.

Such conditions, as well as the terms of its Liquidity Covenant and the uncertainty of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets, carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 are consistent with those discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021.

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Motus GI Medical Technologies, Ltd., an Israel corporation, which has operations in Tirat Carmel, Israel, and Motus Inc.,GI, LLC, a Delaware corporation,limited liability company, which has operations in the U.S. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

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

Revenue recognition

Sales contracts executed for the second generation Pure-Vu System are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) to depict the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to. The Pure-Vu System consists of a Workstation and single use disposable sleeves (“Disposables”). For contracts outside the scope of ASC 606, the Company determines income for proposed supply arrangements under 1) ASC 842 as it pertains to an embedded lease of the Workstation within a proposed supply arrangement and 2) ASC 606 for the sale of the Disposables within the proposed supply arrangement. The Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations within the proposed supply arrangements using the total estimated purchases method for both (i) arrangements that contain minimum purchase commitments and (ii) those arrangements that do not contain a minimum purchase commitment, but instead offer a volume discount for purchases that exceed a specified tier. During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $51,$141, which primarily consisted of $36$114 in accordance with ASC 606 and $15$27 in accordance with ASC 842. During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $28$33 in accordance with ASC 606. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $292, which primarily consisted of $221 in accordance with ASC 606 and $71 in accordance with ASC 842. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $62 in accordance with ASC 606.

Basic and diluted net loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the number of common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive ordinary shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method, in accordance with ASC 260-10 “Earnings per Share”. Potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for all periods presented due to their anti-dilutive effect due to losses in each period.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders consists of net income or loss, as adjusted for actual and deemed preferred stock dividends declared, amortized or accumulated. The Company recorded a deemed dividend for the issuance of warrants during the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 of $6,145.$0 and $6,145, respectively. The deemed dividend is added to the net loss in determining the net loss available to common stockholders.


Income taxes

The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded zero income tax expense. No tax benefit has been recorded in relation to the pre-tax loss for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, due to a full valuation allowance to offset any deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carry forwards attributable to the losses.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements – Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, theThe Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards have or may have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Accounting Pronouncements- Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019,August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)No. 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): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, or ASU 2019-12, which is intended to simplifyConvertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptionsconvertible instruments primarily by eliminating the existing cash conversion and beneficial conversion models within Subtopic 470-20, which will result in fewer embedded conversion options being accounted for separately from the debt host. The guidance also amends and simplifies the calculation of earnings per share relating to convertible instruments. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within that reporting period, excluding smaller reporting companies. For all other entities, the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existingamendments are 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, including interim periods within that reporting period, using either a full or modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard was adopted on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’sour consolidated financial position or results of operations.statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In JuneSeptember 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to improve information on credit losses for financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. In April 2019 and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments” and ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief” which provided additional implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Loss (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842),” which defers the effective date for public filers that are considered small reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company is an SRC, implementation is not needed until January 1, 2023. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Financial instruments with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and certain other current liabilities, due to their short-term nature.

Changes in the fair value of recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which solely consisted of a contingent royalty obligation, during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 was as follows:

  Fair Value Measurements of Contingent Royalty Obligation (Level 3)
Balance at December 31, 2020 $1,617 
Change in estimated fair value of contingent royalty obligation  80

Balance at December 31, 2020 $1,617 
Change in estimated fair value of contingent royalty obligation  152 
Balance at September 30, 2021 $1,769 

The contingent royalty obligation is re-measured at each balance sheet date using several assumptions, including the following: 1) estimated sales growth, 2) length of product cycle, 3) patent life, 4) discount rate (21% as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020), and 5) rate of royalty payment (3% as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020).

In accordance with ASC-820-10-50-2(g), the Company performed sensitivity analyses of the liability, which was classified as a Level 3 financial instrument. The contingent royalty obligation estimate may be significantly impacted by changes in assumptions used in these analyses. For example, the Company recalculated the fair value of the liability by applying a +/- 2% change to the input variable in the discounted cash flow model; the discount rate. A 2% decrease in the discount rate would increase the liability by approximately $264$158 and a 2% increase in the discount rate would decrease the liability by approximately $62.$142.

Future principal payments under the terms of the agreement, the Company must maintain unrestricted cash in accounts with the Bank of at least $10,000. The covenant was met by the CompanyConvertible Note as of March 31, 2021. The Company’s cash forecast indicates that it will need to raise additional funds duringSeptember 30, 2021 which is part of the current operating plan, in order to meet this liquidity requirement covenant during the coming year.


The Term Debt includes a subjective acceleration clause. The Company has been continuously evaluating the actual and potential business impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, certain measures were taken by authorities that could result in adverse financial impacts to the Company, including requiring Company workers to stay home. The Company considered the probability of a further slow-down of its sales team and the related impact on the potential to trigger the Liquidity Covenant, along with the volatility of the capital markets, which could cause SVB to exercise the subjective acceleration clause in determining the classification of the Company’s Term Debt. When considering these factors, the Company determined the likelihood of acceleration could be probable as the pandemic continues, and therefore the Company has classified the Term Debt in current liabilities.

Future maturities under the amended terms of the Term Debt are as follows:

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

Royalties to the IIA

The Company has received, and may receive in the future, grants from the Government of the State of Israel through the Israeli National Authority for Technical Innovation (the “IIA”) for the financing of a portion of its research and development expenditures.expenditures pursuant to the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in Industry 5744-1984 (the “Research Law”), and the regulations previously promulgated thereunder, as well as the IIA’s rules and benefit tracks which apply to companies receiving IIA funding (collectively, including the Research Law, the “IIA Regulations”) The total amount that was received and recorded between the periods ending December 31, 2011 through 2016 was $1,332.  No amounts were received during the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has a contingent obligation to the IIA for the total amount received along with the accumulated LIBOR interest to date in the amount of $1,410$1,413 and $1,407 as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. This obligation is repaid in the form of royalties on revenues generated in any fashion from know-how developed using IIA grants, with a rate that is currently at 4% (which may be increased under certain circumstances). The Company may be obligated to pay, up to 100% (which may be increased under certain circumstances) of the U.S. dollar-linked value of the grants received, plus interest at the rate of 12-month LIBOR.

Repayment of the grants is contingent upon the successful completion of the Company’s R&D programs and generating sales. The Company has no obligation to repay these grants if the R&D program fails, is unsuccessful, or aborted, or if no sales are generated. The Company has recorded an immaterial expense for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020, and an immaterial liability at March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Royalty Payment Rights on Royalty Payment Rights Certificates

The Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations (the “Certificate of Designation”), establishing the rights and preferences of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, including certain directors and officers of the Company (the “Royalty Payment Rights”). As set forth in the Certificate of Designation, the Royalty Payment Rights initially entitled the holders in aggregate, to a royalty in an amount of:

3% of net sales subject to a maximum in any calendar year equal to the total dollar amount of Units closed on in the Company’s 2017 private placement (the “2017 Private Placement”); and

5% of licensing proceeds subject to a maximum in any calendar year equal to the total dollar amount of Units closed on in the 2017 Private Placement.


In addition, in connection with completion of the 2017 Private Placement, the Company issued the placement agent royalty payment rights certificates (the “Placement Agent Royalty Payment Rights Certificates”) which grants the placement agent, and its designees, the right to receive, in the aggregate, 10% of the amount of payments paid to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or the holders of the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates (the “Royalty Payment Rights Certificates”), upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Placement Agent Royalty Payment Rights Certificates are on substantially similar terms as the Royalty Payment Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Royalty Payment Rights Certificate obligation and Placement Agent Royalty Payment Rights Certificate obligation (the “Contingent Royalty Obligation”) was recorded as a liability at fair value as “Contingent royalty obligation” in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (see Contingent Royalty Obligation below). The fair value at inception was allocated to the royalty rights and the residual value was allocated to the preferred shares and recorded as equity.

The Company amended its Certificate of Designation to modify the Royalty Payment Rights when the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on February 16, 2018, at which time the Company converted the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock and issued the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates. Pursuant to the terms of the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates, if and when the Company generates sales of the current and potential future versions of the Pure-Vu System, including disposables, parts, and services, or if the Company receives any proceeds from the licensing of the current and potential future versions of the Pure-Vu System, then the Company will pay to the holders of the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates a royalty (the “Royalty Amount”) equal to, in the aggregate, in royalty payments in any calendar year for all products:

3% of Net Sales* for commercialized product directly; and

5% of any Licensing Proceeds** for rights to commercialize the product if sublicensed by the Company to a third-party.

**Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Net Sales based Royalty Amounts, (a) no Net Sales based Royalty Amount shall begin to accrue or become payable until the Company has first generated, in the aggregate, since its inception, Net Sales equal to $20,000 (the “Initial Net Sales Milestone”), and royalties shall only be computed on, and due with respect to, Net Sales generated in excess of the Initial Net Sales Milestone, and (b) the total Net Sales based Royalty Amount due and payable in any calendar year shall be subject to a royalty cap amount per calendar year of $30,000. “Net Sales” is defined in the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates. The Company has not reached the Initial Net Sales Milestone as of March 31,September 30, 2021.

****Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Licensing Proceeds based Royalty Amounts, (a) no Licensing Proceeds based Royalty Amount shall begin to accrue or become payable until the Company has first generated, in the aggregate, since its inception, Licensing Proceeds equal to $3,500 (the “Initial Licensing Proceeds Milestone”), and royalties shall only be computed on, and due with respect to, Licensing Proceeds in excess of the Initial Licensing Proceeds Milestone and (b) the total Licensing Proceeds based Royalty Amount due and payable in any calendar year shall be subject to a royalty cap amount per calendar year of $30,000. “Licensing” Proceeds is defined in the Royalty Payment Rights Certificate. The Company has not reached the Initial Licensing Proceeds Milestone as of March 31,September 30, 2021.


The Royalty Amount will be payable up to the later of (i) the latest expiration date of the Company’s patents issued as of December 22, 2016, or (ii) the latest expiration date of any pending patents as of December 22, 2016 that have since been issued or may be issued in the future (which is currently May 2036). Following the expiration of all such patents, the holders of the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates and the holders of the Placement Agent Royalty Payment Rights Certificates will no longer be entitled to any further royalties for any period following the latest to occur of such patent expiration.

On February 16, 2018, the date of the closing of the IPO, (1) the amendment to the Certificate of Designation became effective, (2) all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a mandatory conversion, and (3) the Royalty Payment Rights Certificates were issued to the former holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Contingent Royalty Obligation

The Contingent Royalty Obligation was recorded as a non-current liability at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31,September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 in the amount of $1,697$1,769 and $1,617, respectively. A loss of $35 and $152 on change in fair value of Contingent Royalty Obligation of $80was recorded for the three and anine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. A gain on change in fair value of Contingent Royalty Obligation of $321$3 and $248 was recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 andSeptember 30, 2020, respectively. 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has a severance contingency for severance payments to its CEO, COO, and CFO in the aggregate of approximately $1,408, in the event that they are terminated without cause or leave due to good reason, as outlined in their employee agreements. Management estimates that the likelihood of payment is remote; therefore, no liability was reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

Any serious disruption with the Company’s operations due to the COVID-19 outbreak could impair the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash to repay its debt obligations when they become due and payable, either when they mature, or in the event of a default, which will cause the Company to breach its covenants and may negatively impact the Company’s business operations, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters and is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from an unfavorable outcome.

On August 28, 2020 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) under which it sold and issued to an institutional investor (the “Holder”), in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,533,625 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. During the three and nine months ended March 31, September 30, 2021, the Pre-Funded Warrants for 5,533,625 shares of common stock were exercised which resulted in aggregate proceeds of $0 and $6.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, as described above, in a concurrent private placement, the Company also agreed to issue to the purchaser warrants to purchase up to 8,733,625 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement Warrants”). These warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1.30 per share and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Warrant Exercise Agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with the Holder, at which time 8,000,000 of the Private Placement Warrants remained outstanding, due to the prior exercise of 733,625 of the Private Placement Warrants on January 22, 2021. Pursuant to the Exercise Agreement, the Holder agreed to exercise the remaining outstanding 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. In consideration of the exercise, the Company agreed to sell to the Holder, new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase 0.75 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issued upon such exercise of the remaining 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants pursuant to the Exercise Agreement, or an aggregate of 6,000,000 New Warrants. In addition, the Holder paid a cash payment of $0.10 for each New Warrant issued to the Holder, for an aggregate of $600,000 to the Company. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds before expenses of approximately $11.0 million$11,000 from the exercise of all of the remaining 8,000,000 outstanding Private Placement Warrants held by the Holder and the payment of the purchase price for the New Warrants. The terms of the New Warrants are substantially similar to those of the Private Placement Warrants, except that the New Warrants will have an exercise price of $2.12, will be immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of the Exercise Agreement. The aggregate of 6,000,000 New Warrants were issued in four tranches during the first quarter of 2021 as the 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants were exercised. The fair values of the 6,000,000 New Warrants were valued on the date of grant of each tranche and totaled in aggregate of $6,745 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following parameters: (1) risk-free interest rates with a range of 0.41%-0.57%.; (2) expected life in years with a range of 4.95-5.00; (3) expected stock volatilities with a range of 103.00%-103.23%; and (4) expected dividend yields of 0%. The Company recognized the excess fair value of the New Warrants above the aggregate purchase price as a deemed dividend of $6,145.$6,145 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. However, as the Company is in an accumulated deficit position as of the issuance dates, the resulting deemed dividend was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, however the deemed divided was included in net loss attributable to common shareholders in the calculation of loss per share.

In connection with the Exercise Agreement, the Company entered into a financial advisory agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), pursuant to which A.G.P. acted as exclusive financial advisor to the Company in this transaction and received a cash fee of $300 upon full cash exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, which was included in financing fees in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity, as of March 31,September 30, 2021. As additional compensation, A.G.P. will receive a cash fee equal to $200 upon the cash exercise in full of the New Warrants.

In connection with the Kreos Loan Agreement as described in Note 8, the Company issued to the Lender a Warrant, dated July 16, 2021, to purchase up to 190,949 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrant is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1.0474 per share, payable in cash or on a cashless basis according to the formula set forth in the Warrant. The exercise price of the Warrant and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations, stock dividends or similar events. The Warrant is exercisable until the date that is ten years after the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrant was valued on the date of grant at $168 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following parameters: (1) risk-free interest rate of 1.31%; (2) expected life in years of 10; (3) expected stock volatility of 108.87%; and (4) expected dividend yield of 0%. As described in Note 8, in connection with the Kreos Loan Agreement, the Company treated the Warrant as a separate freestanding financial instrument amongst the other financial instruments in the Loan with the proceeds received in connection with the transaction allocated amongst the instruments based on relative fair value which resulted in $165 being allocated to the Warrant and a corresponding amount recorded as a debt discount to the Convertible Note and Long-term Debt. See Note 8 for further detail.

Overview

We have developed the Pure-Vu System, a medical device that has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to help facilitate the cleansing of a poorly prepared gastrointestinal tract during colonoscopy and to help facilitate upper gastrointestinal (“GI”) endoscopy procedures.  The Pure-Vu System has received a CE Mark in the EU for use onin colonoscopy.  The Pure-Vu System integrates with standard and slim colonoscopes, as well as gastroscopes, to improve visualization during colonoscopy and upper GI procedures while preserving established procedural workflow and techniques.  Through irrigation and evacuation of debris, the Pure-Vu System is designed to provide better-quality exams. Challenges exist for inpatient colonoscopy and endoscopy, particularly for patients who are elderly, with comorbidities, or active bleeds, where the ability to visualize, diagnose and treat is often compromised due to debris, including fecal matter, blood, or blood clots.  We believe this is especially true in high acuity patients, like upper GI bleedsbleeding where the existence of blood and blood clots can impair a physician’s view and removing them can be critical in allowing a physician the ability to identify and treat the source of bleeding on a timely basis.  We believe use of the Pure-Vu System may lead to positive outcomes and lower costs for hospitals by safely and quickly improving visualization of the colon and upper GI tract, potentially enabling effective diagnosis and treatment the first time.without delay.  In multiple clinical studies to date, involving the treatment of challenging inpatient and outpatient cases, the Pure-Vu System has consistently helped achieve adequate bowel cleanliness rates greater than 95% following a reduced prep regimen. We also believe that the technology may be useful in the future as a tool to help reduce user dependency on conventional pre-procedural bowel prep regimens. Based on our review and analysis of 2019 market data and 2021 projections for the U.S. and Europe, as obtained from iData Research Inc., we estimate that during 2021 approximately 1.5 million inpatient colonoscopy procedures will be performed in the U.S. and approximately 4.8 million worldwide.  Upper GI bleeds occurred in the U.S. at a rate of approximately 400,000 cases per year in 2019, according to iData Research Inc. The Pure-Vu System does not currently have a unique reimbursement code with any private or governmental third-party payors in any country. We beganhave begun commercialization in the fourth quarter of 2019, with the first commercial placements of our second generation Pure-VuPure Vu System, as part of our initial U.S. market launch targeting early adopter hospitals. Webut do not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales until the COVID-19 pandemic has fully subsided and we further expand our commercialization efforts, for the Pure-Vu System, which is subject to significant uncertainty.

Recent Developments

At the beginning ofIn March 2021, we presented a request for an ICD-10 code at a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) meeting, which is part of our broader strategy to obtain reimbursement for certain inpatient and outpatient procedures where the Pure-Vu System can help facilitate visualization of inadequately prepared colons in high medical need patients. On August 2, 2021, CMS granted the Pure-Vu System a permanent ICD-10 code which commenced on October 1, 2021. 

On June 16, 2021, we announced the enrollment of the first patients in the European Union (EU) study of the Pure-Vu System, which is evaluating the clinical outcomes in patients with a history of poor bowel preparation using a low volume preparation with limited diet restrictions and the Pure-Vu System. On September 8, 2021, we announced the enrollment of patients at GastroZentrum Lippe, a private endoscopy clinic in Germany, the second site for this EU study of the Pure-Vu System. Germany is currently the largest colonoscopy market in Europe, with approximately 1.7 million procedures expected to be performed in 2021, according to iData Research.

The EU study will enroll approximately 44 patients who have a history of poor bowel preparation and are scheduled for either screening, diagnostic, or surveillance colonoscopy across two sites, including the Radboud University Medical Center (Netherlands) and GastroZentrum Lippe (Germany). The patients will undergo a low volume bowel preparation, with just 2x150ml picoprep. The patients will also be allowed to eat a low fiber diet for two days prior to the colonoscopy as opposed to the typical clear liquid diet the day before a colonoscopy. The patients will then receive intra-procedural bowel cleansing with the Pure-Vu System. The primary endpoint for the study is improvement of the bowel preparation from baseline to post procedure as assessed by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), which assesses the cleanliness of each of the three segments of the colon on a zero to three scale and requires a minimum score of two or better per segment to be considered adequately prepped. The study will also look at key clinical endpoints related to the quality of the examination including detection of critical pathology in the colon.

On October 26, 2021, we announced the presentation of results from an independent single-center study of the Pure-Vu System as an adjunct to colon cleansing in patients with inadequate bowel preparation (IBP) in a poster presentation at the 2021 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting.

 

In the independent study, the Pure-Vu System was used in 40 patients (14 inpatient procedures (35%) and 26 outpatient procedures (65%)) with IBP to complete the colonoscopy. The indication for colonoscopy was either diagnostic or colorectal cancer (CRC) screening/surveillance. Pure-Vu was used as an adjunct to IBP to allow completion of procedure in 37 patients. In patients with IBP, the mean BBPS score improved from 3.1 (range: 0-6) to 8.5 (range 5-9) after intra-procedural cleansing. Three patients had active lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB), and the Pure-Vu System was used without bowel preparation to promptly detect the etiology and possibly treat. When used in emergency colonoscopy without bowel preparation, procedures could be completed in all three patients detecting and treating diverticular and post-polypectomy bleeding in one patient each and diagnosing severe right sided ischemic colitis in another. The study authors concluded the utility of the Pure-Vu System without prior bowel preparation in LGIB needs further study. Use of Pure-Vu System did not interfere with the performance of endoscopic interventions including biopsy, cold/hot snare polypectomy, or EMR. Besides minor mucosal trauma in two cases, no major complications were observed with the Pure-Vu System.

Our clinical research efforts are currentlyin the U.S. also continue to be focused on critical patient populations such as acute lower GI bleeds, where time to a successful colonoscopy can be clinically impactful. We are working with a major U.S. hospital system on a study that has recently initiated enrollment that is focused on eliminating the barrier of traditional preparation to facilitate urgent colonoscopies in significant lower GI bleed patients. In this study the patients will ingest minimal to no purgative basedpurgative-based preparation and only receive two tap water enemas prior to the procedure. Additionally, we are developing additional U.S. clinical programs to accelerate its commercial efforts as well as its outpatient reimbursement activities.

 

On April 30, 2021, we announced that we have received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for a version of the Pure-Vu System that is compatible with gastroscopes used during upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy procedures to remove blood, blood clots and debris in order to provide a clear field-of-view for the endoscopist. The device is designed to integrate with therapeutic gastroscopes to enable safe and rapid cleansing during the procedure, while preserving established procedural workflow and techniques.

Upper GI bleeds occurred in the U.S. at a rate of approximately 400,000 cases per year in 2019, according to iData Research Inc. The existence of blood and blood clots in these patients can impair a physician’s view, making it difficult to identify the bleed source. We believe removing adherent blood clots from the field of view is a significant need in allowing a physician the ability to identify and treat the bleed source. The mortality rate of this condition can reach up to approximately 10%, as noted in Thad Wilkins, MD, et al., American Family Physician (2012).

On May 7,July 21, 2021, we announced the publicationexpansion of our long-term credit facility by securing a sponsorednew loan agreement with Kreos Capital VI (Expert Fund) LP for up to $12.0 million. This facility replaces our previous term loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and removes the $10.0 million minimum cash balance liquidity covenant. The new term loan agreement is split into three tranches, including a $5.0 million term loan and a $4.0 million convertible loan that were both funded on July 16, 2021. We applied $8.2 million of the proceeds from such tranches to repay in full all amounts outstanding under, and discharge all obligations in respect of the previous term loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The third tranche is a $3.0 million term loan option available to be drawn by us through December 31, 2021. This new agreement strengthens our balance sheet and increases our financial flexibility.

On November 2nd, 2021, CMS announced that our application for the Transitional Pass-Through Payment, which we previously submitted for the Pure-Vu System® Cost Effectiveness AnalysisSystem, was not approved for the calendar year 2022 program.  This announcement does not impact our broader strategy to continue to seek to obtain reimbursement in the Journalfuture for certain outpatient procedures where we believe the Pure-Vu System can help facilitate visualization of Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation, which is titled, “Colonoscopyinadequately prepared colons in poorly prepped colons. A cost effectiveness analysis comparing standard of care to a new cleansing technology.” Sponsorship of analysis andhigh medical need patients.

We also recently announced the development of Pure-Vu EVS, the manuscript was provided by us.

The publication presents new data fromsystem will feature both upper and lower GI capabilities, a cost effectivenessreduced footprint workstation, faster set-up times, and resource allocation analysis of the ability to load a dirty colonoscope in order to conduct rescue procedures when necessary. We expect to submit Pure-Vu System® on the outcomes of cost, quality of life, and aversion of colorectal cancers (CRC), as comparedEVS to the current standardFDA for 510K approval by the end of care (SOC) for outpatient colonoscopy. Please refer2021.

We continue to closely monitor the effects of COVID-19 on our current report on Form 8-K filed on May 7, 2021 for additional informationbusiness.  We have remained nimble in our commercial approach, exploring all available options with respect to minimizing the publication.

Due tonegative consequences of the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, the extent and duration of which is difficult to predict,pandemic on our sales efforts with targeted early adopter hospitals continue to be disrupted. This disruption is specifically related to our limited on-site access at hospital accounts, an overall reduction in GI procedures, and physician and clinician time primarily being focused on care for COVID-19 patients. This has presented a temporary slow-down in commercial activities, but we expect a recovery as broader vaccination occurs. Projecting when new technology evaluations and non-critical hospital procedures will normalize across the country is challenging, and the ability of hospital systems to make capital investments in new medical technologies remains impacted. In addition to sales disruptions, we have also experienced an overall slowdown in clinical program activities.

business.  At this date we cannot fully predict the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our financial results and operations and we continue to closely monitor the situation. We have been encouraged by an increase in GI procedural volume, as well as an uptake in hospital access and physician availability in certain parts of the United States where the prevalence of COVID-19 has lessened. We intend to continue to be nimble in our commercial approach and explore all options with respect to how we can best minimize the negative impact of COVID-19 on our business.operations.

Financial Operations Overview

We have generated limited revenues to date from the sale of products. We have never been profitable and have incurred significant net losses each year since our inception, including a loss of $4.6$14.2 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, and we expect to continue to incur net operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had $27.7$23.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $108.4$117.9 million. We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities to commercialize and market the Pure-Vu System.System, including additional expenditures in sales and marketing personnel, clinical affairs and manufacturing. Accordingly, we will need additional financing to support our continuing operations. We will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our shareholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights. The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of our product and clinical development programs as well as commercial activities. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so. Furthermore, the extent of the impact and effects of the recent outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 on the operation and financial performance of our business will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, related travel advisories and restrictions, production delays, or the uncertainty with respect to the accessibility of additional liquidity or capital markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the demand for our Pure-Vu system is impacted by this outbreak for an extended period, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. We expect our expenses will increase in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

continue commercialization which began in the fourth quarter of 2019, with the first commercial placements of our Pure-Vu System as part of our initial U.S. market launch targeting early adopter hospitals;to expand commercialization;

scale manufacturing with our contracted partners for both the workstation and disposable portions of the Pure-Vu System;

develop future generations of the Pure-Vu System to improve user interface, optimize handling and reduce the cost structure;

raise sufficient funds to effectuate our business plan, including commercialization activities and reimbursement efforts related to our Pure-Vu System and our research and development activities, including clinical and regulatory development, and the continued development and enhancement of our Pure-Vu System; and

operate as a public company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies are essential to understanding and interpreting the financial results reported on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain of those policies are considered to be particularly important to the presentation of our financial results because they require us to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain.

During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, there were no material changes to matters discussed under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In December 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, as subsequently amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”), for $8.0 million with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank” or “SVB”). Under the terms of the Loan Agreement we must maintain unrestricted cash in accounts held at SVB of at least $10.0 million (the “Liquidity Covenant”). We will need to raise additional capital or generate substantial revenue in order to ensure compliance with the Liquidity Covenant to support our development and commercialization efforts. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, or at all, we may breach the Liquidity Covenant, in which case, we would be required to immediately pledge to the bank and thereafter maintain in a separate account, unrestricted and unencumbered cash in an amount equal to the amount then outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

OnOn August 28, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) under which we sold and issued to an institutional investor (the “Holder”), in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of our common stock par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,533,625 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The offering price was $1.145 for each share of Common Stock and $1.144 for each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement, we also agreed to issue to the Holder warrants to purchase up to 8,733,625 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement Warrants”). These warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1.30 per share and expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. In connection with the closing of the offering, we received gross proceeds of $10.0 million before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses of $0.8 million from the issuance of the Common Stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants.

On January 27, 2021, we entered into a Warrant Exercise Agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) with the Holder, at which time 8,000,000 of the Private Placement Warrants remained outstanding, due to the prior exercise of 733,625 of the Private Placement Warrants on January 22, 2021. Pursuant to the Exercise Agreement, in order to induce the Holder to exercise all of its remaining outstanding 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants for cash, we agreed to sell to the Holder, new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase 0.75 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issued upon such exercise of the remaining 8,000,000 Private Placement Warrants pursuant to the Exercise Agreement, or an aggregate of 6,000,000 New Warrants. The terms of the New Warrants are substantially similar to those of the Private Placement Warrants, except that the New Warrants will have an exercise price of $2.12, will be immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of the Exercise Agreement. In addition, the Holder paid a cash payment of $0.10 for each New Warrant issued to the Holder, for an aggregate of $600,000 to the Company. We received aggregate gross proceeds before expenses of approximately $11.0 million from the exercise of all of the remaining 8,000,000 outstanding Private Placement Warrants held by the Holder and the payment of the purchase price for the New Warrants.

In connection with the Exercise Agreement, we entered into a financial advisory agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), pursuant to which A.G.P. acted as exclusive financial advisor to us in this transaction and received a cash fee of $0.3 million upon full cash exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. As additional compensation, A.G.P. will receive a cash fee equal to $0.2 million upon the cash exercise in full of the New Warrants.

In March 2021, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”), under which it may offer and sell from time to time common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock pursuant to the above-described Equity Distribution Agreement, resulting in net cash proceeds of $1.8 million, after deducting issuance costs of $0.1 million.

On July 16, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a loan facility (the “Kreos Loan Agreement”) with Kreos Capital VI (Expert Fund) LP (the “Lender”). Under the Kreos Loan Agreement, Lender will provide us with access to term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.0 million. We drew $9.0 million of term loans pursuant to the Kreos Loan Agreement on the Effective Date, and applied $8.2 million of the proceeds, inclusive of a negotiated prepayment premium of approximately $0.2 million, to repay in full all amounts outstanding under, and discharge all obligations in respect of our prior Loan and Security Agreement, entered into in December 2019, as was amended from time to time, (the “SVB Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank. As a result, the SVB Loan Agreement, together with all documents and agreements executed in connection therewith, including certain liquidity covenants, have terminated and all liens associated therewith have been released as of the Effective Date. We intend to use the remaining proceeds of the Kreos Loan Agreement to enhance our product development and commercial growth plans, and for general corporate purposes.

We have been continuously evaluating the actual and potential business impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the full impact of the pandemic continues to evolve, the financial markets have been subject to significant volatility that adversely impacts our ability to enter into, modify, and negotiate favorable terms and conditions relative to equity and debt financing initiatives. The uncertain financial markets, potential disruptions in supply chains, mobility restraints, and changing priorities could also affect our ability to enter into key agreements. The outbreak and government measures taken in response to the pandemic have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred; supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services, such as medical services and supplies, have spiked, while demand for other goods and services have fallen. The future progression of the outbreak and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain. We and our third-party contract manufacturers, contract research organizations, and clinical sites may also face disruptions in procuring items that are essential to our research and development activities, including, for example, medical and laboratory supplies, in each case, that are sourced from abroad or for which there are shortages because of ongoing efforts to address the outbreak.


As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had total current assets of $29.8$24.9 million and total current liabilities of $10.2$2.6 million resulting in working capital of $19.6$22.3 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 was $4.5$10.5 million, which includes a net loss of $4.6$14.2 million, offset by non-cash expenses principally related to share based compensation expense of $0.9$2.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.1$0.3 million, loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the Silicon Valley Bank loan of $0.2 million, provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.2 million, and a loss gain on the change in estimated fair value of contingent royalty obligation of $0.1$0.2 million, offset by changes in net working capital items principally related to the increase in accounts receivable of $0.1 million, increase of prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.7$0.1 million, and the increasea decrease in accounts payableother current and accrued expenses of $0.3 million.non-current liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 totaled $0.1$0.4 million related to the purchase of fixed assets.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 totaled $11.6$13.8 million related to proceeds from issuance of common shares of $1.9 million, exercise and purchase of warrants of $12.0 million, and borrowings under loans of $9.0 million, offset by repayments under term loans of $8.2 million, financing fees related to the exercise of the warrants$0.5 million and payment of $0.3debt issuance costs of $0.4 million.

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $27.7$23.7 million. We will need to raise significant additional capital to continue to fund operations and to maintain the Liquidity Covenant.operations. We may seek to sell common or preferred equity, convertible debt securities or seek other debt financing. In addition, we may seek to raise cash through collaborative agreements or from government grants. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our shareholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights. The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the progress of our product and clinical development programs as well as commercial activities. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Lack of necessary funds may require us, among other things, to delay, scale back or eliminate expenses including those associated with our planned product development, clinical trial and commercial efforts.

Shelf Registration Statements

On March 26, 2019, we filed a shelf registration statement (File No. 333-230516) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2019 Shelf Registration Statement”), which was declared effective on April 24, 2019, that allows us to offer, issue and sell up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $75.0 million of any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, subscription rights and/or units from time to time, together or separately, in one or more offerings. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we have sold approximately $31.8 million of securities under the 2019 Shelf Registration Statement.

On March 16, 2021, we filed a shelf registration statement (File No. 333-254343) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “2021 Shelf Registration Statement”), which was declared effective on March 26, 2021, that allows us to offer, issue and sell up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $100.0 million of any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, subscription rights and/or units from time to time, together or separately, in one or more offerings. As of March 31,September 30, 2021, we have not sold any securities under the 2021 Shelf Registration Statement.Statement, except as described below.

The 2021 Shelf Registration Statement includes a prospectus registering the at-the-market offering program pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement with Oppenheimer, under which we may offer and sell from time to time common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we sold approximately 1.3 million shares of common stock pursuant to the above-described Equity Distribution Agreement, resulting in net cash proceeds of $1.8 million, after deducting issuance costs of $0.1 million.

Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions and other factors including, in the case of our debt securities, our credit ratings. Each issuance under the shelf registration statements will require the filing of a prospectus supplement identifying the amount and terms of the securities to be issued.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules, such as relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which are often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating financing transactions that are not required to be reflected on our balance sheets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,September 30, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,September 30, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, may not be the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

There were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2021.2021, or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2021, except as noted below

Risks Related to Our Capital Stock

If we fail to comply with the continued minimum closing bid requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) by February 21, 2022 or other requirements for continued listing, including stockholder equity requirements, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

Our common stock is listed for trading on Nasdaq. We must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). If a company’s common stock trades for 30 consecutive business days below the Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice, advising that such company has been afforded a “compliance period” of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the applicable requirements. Thereafter, if such company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement prior to the expiration of the initial period, such company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, provided (i) it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on Nasdaq, including stockholder equity requirements (except for the Bid Price Requirement), which we may be unable to satisfy, and (ii) it provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure this deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. In the event the company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement prior to the expiration of the initial period, and if it appears to the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Staff”) that the company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the company is not otherwise eligible, the Staff will provide the company with written notification that its securities are subject to delisting from Nasdaq. At that time, the company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.

On August 24, 2021, the Staff notified us that we did not comply with the Bid Price Requirement, and we have 180 calendar days, or until February 21, 2022, to regain compliance. The closing bid price of our securities must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days to regain compliance.

If we are unable to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by February 21, 2022, or if we fail to meet any of the other continued listing requirements, including stockholder equity requirements, our securities may be delisted from Nasdaq, which could reduce the liquidity of our common stock materially and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and business development opportunities. Such a delisting likely would impair your ability to sell or purchase our common stock when you wish to do so. Further, if we were to be delisted from Nasdaq, our common stock may no longer be recognized as a “covered security” and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Thus, delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, would significantly impact the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively impact the value and liquidity of our common stock.

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

Unregistered Sales of Equity SecuritiesNone

During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, or such period as described below, we issued the following unregistered securities:

On January 20, 2021, we entered into a services agreement with a service provider, pursuant to which we issued a warrant to purchase 340,020 shares of our common stock in the aggregate, with an exercise price of $1.75 per share, which will vest over a one-year period on a monthly basis (the “January 2021 Consultant Warrants”). The January 2021 Consultant Warrants have a three (3) year term. The January 2021 Consultant Warrants were issued on substantially the same form as our Form of November 2018 Consultant Warrant, filed as Exhibit 4.4 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2018, and incorporated herein by reference.

Securities Act Exemptions

We deemed the offers, sales and issuances of the securities described above to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, including Regulation D and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, relative to transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

All certificates representing the securities issued in the transactions described above included appropriate legends setting forth that the securities had not been offered or sold pursuant to a registration statement and describing the applicable restrictions on transfer of the securities.
