POLARITYTE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

PolarityTE, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing and commercializing regenerative tissue products and biomaterials. The Company also operates a laboratory testing and clinical research business using equipment, personnel, and facilities it acquired to advance the development of regenerative tissue products. The Company sold SkinTE under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act in 2020 and into 2021 and, after the Company’s decision to file an investigational new drug application (IND) under Section 351 of that Act, under an enforcement discretion position stated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a regenerative medicine policy framework to help facilitate regenerative medicine therapies. On or about April 21, 2021, the FDA announced that enforcement discretion would not be extended beyond May 31, 2021. As a result of this development and based on the Company’s interactions with the FDA, the Company planned to file its IND in the second half of 2021 and decided to terminate commercial sales of SkinTE on May 31, 2021, and wind down its SkinTE commercial operation. As a result, there will be no revenues from commercial SkinTE sales after June 2021, and the Company expects corresponding costs will be lower in the second half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2021.

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 20192020, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20192020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on March 12, 2020.30, 2021.

 

2.LIQUIDITY AND NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL

The Company has experienced recurring losses and cash outflows from operating activities. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $461.1 million. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30.5 million. The Company has been funded historically through sales of equity and debt.

On April 10, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten offering providing for the issuance and sale of 3,418,918 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an offering price of $8.51 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $27.9 million, after deducting offering expenses payable by the Company.

On December 5, 2019, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Keystone Capital Partners, LLC (“Keystone”), pursuant to which Keystone has agreed to purchase from the Company up to $25.0 million of shares of its common stock, subject to certain limitations including a minimum stock price of $2.00, at the direction of the Company from time to time during the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Keystone, pursuant to which it agreed to register the sales of its common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement under the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or a new registration statement. On December 19, 2019, the Company sold 54,090 shares under the Purchase Agreement at a purchase price of $2.31 per share, for total proceeds of $0.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company completed four additional sales of common stock to Keystone under the Purchase Agreement for a total of 216,412 shares generating total gross proceeds of $0.6 million.

On February 14, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten offering of 10,638,298 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 10,638,298 shares of common stock. Each common share and warrant were sold together for a combined public purchase price of $2.35 before underwriting discount and commission. The exercise price of each warrant is $2.80 per share, the warrants were exercisable immediately, and they will expire February 12, 2027. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering were $22.5 million, after offering expenses payable by the Company. In connection with this agreement, the Company agreed not to sell any additional shares under the Keystone Purchase Agreement for a period of 90 days after the closing date of the offering.

The Company entered into a promissory note for $3.6 million under the Paycheck Protection Program on April 12, 2020. Additional details are available in note 12.

The Company does not expect existing cash as of June 30, 2020 to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least twelve months from the date of filing. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows, has not yet generated material revenue from operations, and will require additional funds to maintain its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

8

In the second quarter of 2020 the Company took steps to reduce cash burn by reducing payroll expense, adopting a salary and wage reduction, and reducing discretionary spending across the organization to minimal levels. The Company will seek additional capital through equity offerings or debt financing. However, such financing may not be available in the future on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate financing is not available, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its product development programs, or be unable to continue operations over a longer term.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the disclosure of gain or loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements is the extent of progress toward completion of contracts, stock-based compensation, the valuation of common stock warrant liability,liabilities, and the valuation allowances for deferred tax benefits.impairment of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

 

Inventory. Inventory comprises raw materials, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates the carrying value of its inventory on a regular basis, taking into account anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand to record an inventory reserve. The Company recorded inventory charges of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, in research and development within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded inventory charges of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, of which $0.3 million and $0.4 million were recorded in research and development and cost of sales, respectively, within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. No inventory reserve was recorded as of June 30, 2021, or December 31, 2020.

8

Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”)(ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Finance leases are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in property and equipment and other current and long-term liabilities. The short-termcurrent portion of operating lease obligations are included in other current liabilities. The classification of the Company’s leases as operating or finance leases along with the initial measurement and recognition of the associated ROU assets and lease liabilities is performed at the lease commencement date. The measurement of lease liabilities is based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The ROU asset is based on the measurement of the lease liability and also includes any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise any such options. Rent expense for the Company’s operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Amortization expense for the ROU asset associated with its finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and interest expense associated with its finance leases is recognized on the balance of the lease liability using the effective interest method based on the estimated incremental borrowing rate.

 

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. As allowed under ASC 842, the Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any leases involving real estate and office equipment classes of assets and, as a result, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has also elected not to apply the recognition requirement of ASC 842 to leases with a term of 12 months or less for all classes of assets.

 

Revenue Recognition. RevenueUnder ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration whichthat the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company records product revenues primarily from the sale of SkinTE, its regenerative tissue products. Theproduct. When the Company sellsmarketed its productsSkinTE product, it was sold to healthcare providers (customers), primarily through direct sales representatives. Product revenues consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. In general, the Company recognizes product revenue upon delivery to the customer.

 

TheIn the contract services segment, the Company records service revenues from the sale of its preclinical research services, and contract services. Preclinical research services includewhich includes delivery of preclinical studies and other research services to unrelated third parties. These customer contractsService revenues generally consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies over time using an input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total costs expected to be required to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company believes that this method provides an appropriate measure of the transfer of services over the term of the performance obligation based on the remaining services needed to satisfy the obligation. This requires the Company to make reasonable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion of the contract. As a result, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue are recognized based on payment timing and work completed. Generally, a portion of the payment is due upfront and the remainder upon completion of the contract, with most contracts completing in less than a year. Contract services include research and laboratory testing services to unrelated third parties on a contract basis. These customer contracts generally consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of testing results to the customer. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had unbilled receivables of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and deferred revenue of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The unbilled receivables balance is included in consolidated accounts receivable. Revenue of $0.2 million was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021, that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020.

 

Research and Development Expenses. Costs incurred for research and development are expensed as incurred. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities pursuant to executory contractual arrangements with third party research organizations are deferred and recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed.

 

9

Accruals for Research and Development Expenses and Clinical Trials. As part of the process of preparing its financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment terms that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company’s objective is to reflect the appropriate expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. The Company accounts for these expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the expenses. The Company determines accrual estimates by taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, its understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in it reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any particular period.

Common Stock Warrant Liability. The Company accounts for common stock warrants issued as freestanding instruments in accordance with applicable accounting guidance as either liabilities or as equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The Company’s warrants underagreements. Under certain change of control situations,provisions, some warrants issued by the Company could require cash settlement in cash, which require thenecessitates such warrants to be recorded as liabilities. Warrants classified as liabilities are remeasured each period until settled or until classified as equity.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company measures all stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees using a fair value method and records such expense in general and administrative, research and development, and sales and marketing expenses. For stock options with graded vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were in substance, multiple awards based on the fair value on the date of grant.

 

10

The fair value of options issued is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.grant commensurate with the expected term of the option. The volatility factor is determined based on the Company’s historical stock prices. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

 

The fair value of restricted stock grants is measured based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of, generally, six months to three years.

 

Net Loss Per Share. Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. SinceGains on warrant liabilities are only considered dilutive when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the warrants. All common stock warrants issued participate on a one-for-one basis with common stock in the distribution of dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, on the Company’s common stock. For purposes of computing earnings per share (EPS), these warrants are considered to participate with common stock in earnings of the Company. Therefore, the Company calculates basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income for the period is allocated between common stockholders and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. No income was inallocated to the warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as results of operations were a loss position for all periods presented, basic net losseach period and the warrant holders are not required to absorb losses. The Company has issued pre-funded warrants from time to time at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The shares of common stock into which the pre-funded warrants may be exercised are considered outstanding for the purposes of computing earnings per share isbecause the same as diluted net loss per share sinceshares may be issued for little or no consideration, are fully vested, and are exercisable after the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.original issuance date.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, and intangible assets and goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows.

 

Goodwill. Under accounting guidelines, goodwill is not amortized, but must be tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below the carrying amount. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or products. Application of these impairment tests requires significant judgment. There were 0 goodwill impairments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which defers the effective date of Topic 326. As a smaller reporting company, Topic 326 will now be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. As such, the Company plans to adopt this ASU beginning January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Those instruments that do not have a separately recognized embedded conversion feature will no longer recognize a debt issuance discount related to such a conversion feature and would recognize less interest expense on a periodic basis. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC Topic 260 on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. As a smaller reporting company, the Company is required to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adoption of this ASU.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (ASU 2021-04). ASU 2021-04 updates current accounting guidance for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity-classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The ASU specifies that the effects of modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity after modification or exchange should be recognized depending on the substance of the transaction, whether it be a financing transaction to raise equity (topic 340), to raise or modify debt (topic 470 and 835), or other modifications or exchanges. If the modification or exchange does not fall under topics 340, 470, or 835, an entity may be required to account for the effects of such modifications or exchanges as dividends which should adjust net income (or loss) in the basic EPS calculation. The Company is required to apply the amendments within this ASU prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2022, and is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company is a clinical stage biotechnology company that has historically incurred losses and negative cash flows. Consequently, the future success of the Company depends on its ability to attract additional capital and, ultimately, on its ability to successfully complete the regulatory approval process for its product, SkinTE, and develop future profitable operations. The Company will seek additional capital through equity offerings or debt financing. However, such financing may not be available in the future on favorable terms, if at all.

4. FAIR VALUE

 

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, financial instruments were measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchy which maximizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs:

 

 Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
   
 Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the market.
   
 Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity. Financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, for which determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There were no transfers within the hierarchy for any of the periods presented.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company transferred all available-for-sale securities to cash accounts.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

On or about April 21, 2021, the FDA announced that enforcement discretion would not be extended beyond May 31, 2021. As a result of this development and based on the Company’s interactions with the FDA, the Company decided to file an IND in the second half of 2021, cease commercial sales of SkinTE by May 31, 2021, and wind down its SkinTE commercial operation.

7.6. LEASES

 

The Company leases facilities and certain equipment under noncancelable leases that expire at various dates through NovemberJune 2024. These leases require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. Certain of these leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease at the election of the Company. These optional periods have not been considered in the determination of the right-of-use-assets or lease liabilities associated with these leases as the Company did not consider it reasonably certain it would exercise the options.

 

Operating Leases

On December 27, 2017, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement with Adcomp LLC, a Utah limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company leased approximately 178,528 rentable square feet of warehouse, manufacturing, office, and lab space in Salt Lake City, Utah from the landlord. The initial term of the lease is five years, and it expires on November 30, 2022. The Company has a one-time option to renew for an additional five years. The initial base rent under this lease is $98,190 per month ($0.55 per sq. ft.) for the first year of the initial lease term and increases 3.0% per annum thereafter. Because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company has used an incremental borrowing rate of 10% to determine the present value of the lease payments.

15

In April 2019, the Company entered into an operating lease to obtain 6,307 square feet of manufacturing, laboratory, and office space. The original term of the lease expired in April 2024 and required monthly lease payments subject to annual increases. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a business analysis to determine the long-term strategy of the remote facility and cost to remain operational. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, it was determined that the Company would cease operations and vacate the facility. As a result, the Company determined that the approved plan to vacate the lease represented a triggering event requiring the long-lived assets attributable to the disposal group be assessed for impairment. Given the facts and circumstances, the Company determined that the carrying value of the related assets of the disposal group were not recoverable. As a result, the carrying values were reduced to $0 as of December 31, 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company terminated the lease effective June 30, 2021. The Company recorded a net gain on termination of $0.3 million which was included in restructuring and other charges on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Financing Leases

In November 2018 and April 2019, the Company entered into financing leases primarily for laboratory equipment used in research and development activities. The financing leases have remaining terms that range from 9 to 34 months as of June 30, 2021, and include options to purchase equipment at the end of the lease. Because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company has used an incremental borrowing rate of approximately 10% to determine the present value of the lease payments for these leases.

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

 

The discussion and analysis below includes certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, as described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC’) on July 26, 2021, and this report, that could cause our actual growth, results of operations, performance, financial position and business prospects and opportunities for this fiscal year and periods that follow to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our disclosure under the heading “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

 

Overview

 

We arePolarityTE, Inc., headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a commercial-stageclinical stage biotechnology and regenerative biomaterials company focused on transforming the lives of patients by discovering, designing and developing regenerative tissue products and biomaterials for the fieldsbiomaterials. We also operate a laboratory testing and clinical research business using equipment, personnel, and facilities we acquired to advance our development of medicine, biomedical engineering and material sciences. Historically, we have operated two segments: the regenerative medicine product segment and the contract services segment.tissue products.

 

Segment ReportingRegenerative Tissue Product

 

Regenerative Medicine Product Segment

TheOur first regenerative medicinetissue product segment is engaged in the development of SkinTE, our first commercial product, and also the development of SkinTE POC (point-of-care device for on-site SkinTE processing and deployment), Skin TE Cryo (cryopreservation of SkinTE for multiple deployments on a single patient), and PTE 11000 (allogeneic, biologically active dressing for use in wound care).

SkinTE. SkinTE was registered and listed with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)(“FDA”) in August 2017 based on our determination that SkinTE is appropriatelyshould be regulated solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and Part 1271 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (i.e., as a so-called “361361 HCT/P”)P) and that, as a result, no premarket review or approval by the FDA iswas required. We proceeded to develop sales and manufacturing capabilities for SkinTE and focused on advancing commercialization of SkinTE. We began a regional commercial rollout of SkinTE in October 2018, and while it was marketed it was used in complex wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers penetrating to tendon, capsule, and bone classified, Stage 3 and 4 pressure injuries, and acute wounds. Given our significant real-world experience with the application of SkinTE and several supporting publications, we believe SkinTE could significantly improve clinical outcomes.

 

Following informal, voluntary discussions between us and the FDA we were advised by the FDA in April 2020 that its preliminary assessment is that SkinTE does not meet the requirements to be regulated solely as a 361 HCT/P. Rather, the FDA’s view ispreliminary assessment was that SkinTE is a biological product that should be regulated under Section 351 of the Public Health Service Act. We re-evaluated our regulatory approach and determined it is prudent to submit an investigational new drug application (IND),(“IND”) for SkinTE and thereafter aan eventual biologics license application (BLA) for SkinTE,(“BLA”) because we believe it will create a more valuable asset with a greater likelihood of achieving widespread commercial adoption, and to adjustavoid the focuspossibility of a protracted dispute with the FDA. On July 23, 2021, we submitted an IND through our subsidiary, PolarityTE MD, Inc., and our business resources and activities are now focused primarily on advancing our IND, which if accepted by the FDA, will allow us to conduct clinical trials of a type that could potentially support a BLA application. We continued to sell SkinTE until the end of May 2021, when the period of enforcement discretion previously announced by the FDA with respect to its IND and premarket approval requirements for 361 HCT/Ps came to an end. As a result, we will not generate any revenue from the sale of SkinTE after the second quarter of 2021. We also eliminated our sales team on June 1, 2021, and moved to cut other costs associated with our commercial effort forsales activity to offset the loss of SkinTE based on the following factors:

license exclusivity for 12 years that arises under a BLA could enhance the value of SkinTE;
clinical testing in the BLA process could advance commercial acceptance of SkinTE;
the possibility the FDA could restrict our commercial sale of SkinTE in the future; and
the contraction of the commercial opportunity for SkinTE in March and April 2020 because healthcare providers were dedicating resources to the care and treatment of COVID-19 patients and the acute and traumatic care needs of the general population and, as a result, were putting a hold on elective procedures in many regions across the country.

Contract Services Segmentrevenue.

 

The contract services segment operatesTesting and Research Services

Beginning in 2017 we developed internally a laboratory and research capability to advance the development of SkinTE and related technologies, which we operate through our subsidiary, Arches Research, Inc. (“Arches”). At the beginning of May 2018, we acquired a preclinical research and veterinary sciences business to be used, in part, for preclinical studies on our regenerative tissue products, which we operate through our subsidiary IbexIBEX Preclinical Research, Inc. We(“IBEX”). Through Arches and IBEX, we also offer research and laboratory testing services to unrelated third parties on a contract basis through our subsidiary, Arches Research, Inc. (“Arches”).

In Aprilbasis. At the end of May 2020, we received unsolicited inquiries from third parties regarding our laboratory and its capacitybegan to performoffer COVID-19 testing which we attribute to the surge in COVID-19 testing throughout the United States and what we believe to be a lack of laboratory testing capacity to meet the surging demand. Management evaluated Arches’ resources and found that it has the capability of performing molecular polymerase chain reaction testing for COVID-19. Management decided that COVID-19 testing offered an opportunity to use existing resourcesservices to generate additional revenue in the contract services segment and thereby help defray our operating expenses. Consequently, we applied to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for a certificate of registration for our laboratory under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments and obtained that certificate in late April 2020. We started providing COVID-19 testing services on May 27, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

In the regenerative medicine products segment, we record product revenues primarily from the sale of our regenerative tissue products. We sell our products to healthcare providers, primarily through direct sales representatives. Product revenues consist of a single performance obligation that we satisfy at a point in time. In general, we recognize product revenue upon delivery to the customer. In the contract services segment, we earn service revenues from the provision of contract research services, which includes delivery of preclinical studies and other research services to unrelated third parties. Service revenues generally consist of a single performance obligation that we satisfy over time using an input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total costs expected to be required to satisfy the performance obligation. Contract services include research and laboratory testing services to unrelated third parties on a contract basis. These customer contracts generally consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of testing results to the customer.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including stock compensation for research and development executives and staff, lab and office expenses, clinical trial costs, and other overhead charges.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including stock compensation for corporate executives and support staff, general office expenses, professional fees and various other overhead charges. Professional fees, including legal and accounting expenses, typically represent one of the largest components of our general and administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a publicly traded company, such as SEC filings, and corporate and business development initiatives.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including stock compensation for sales and marketing executives and staff, marketing and advertising expenses, trade shows and other promotional costs, and other related charges.

Net Revenues

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, we recorded net revenues of $2.266 million, which represents an increase of $0.940 million or 71% from the $1.326 million of net revenues recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $0.940 million increase in net revenues was due to an increase in revenue in both our regenerative medicine product segment and the contract services segment.

Regenerative Medicine Product Segment

As noted above, we plan to submit to FDA an IND and BLA for SkinTE. We are in the process of arranging meetings with FDA to determine the most appropriate development plan for a BLA submission. FDA has not asked us to stop marketing SkinTE pending submission or approval of a BLA. We plan to discuss with FDA the possibility of continued marketing of SkinTE as a 361 HCT/P on a limited basis at a future meeting, both until May 31, 2021, which marks the end of a period of enforcement discretion that FDA announced in revised final guidance issued in July 2020 that it would generally observe unless there are reported or potential significant safety concerns, and beyond May 2021. It is not customary for the FDA to allow wide-spread commercial sales of a product subject to a pending BLA.

At the same time as the regulatory development described above, we were experiencing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the country, healthcare assets in terms of facilities and providers were dedicated in March, April, and May to the care and treatment of COVID-19 patients while still trying to meet the acute and traumatic care needs of the general population. The substantial rise in COVID-19 cases in the first part of the summer indicates that the dedication of resources to the treatment of COVID-19 will continue for the immediate future. Consequently, medical care and procedures that are considered “elective” have been put on hold in many regions across the country. We experienced the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in our commercial operations in March 2020, when there was a drop in paid cases in that month followed by cancellation or postponement of SkinTE procedures scheduled for April 2020. This negative impact was most evident in chronic wounds without amputation risk and we expect this impact to continue in subsequent periods as long as the pandemic continues to surge.

We do not know, and cannot predict, whether FDA will allow us to continue selling SkinTE while our BLA is pending. Accordingly, management determined it was prudent under the circumstances discussed above to focus our commercialization effort on the territories where we have current and repeat users of SkinTE. As a result, in May 2020 we eliminated 40 positions in the regenerative medicine product segment, including 24 positions engaged in performing sales and marketing functions. Net revenues for SkinTE in the second quarter of 2020 are $0.944 million compared to $0.428 million for the first quarter of 2020. The number2021, 57% of paid SkinTE cases in the second quarter of 2020 increased by 9.9% over the first quarter from 81 in the first quarter to 88 in the second quarter whileour testing and research services net revenues more than doubled, and this disjunction is attributable to the larger wound sizes in traumatic wounds treated with SkinTE in the second quarter so that the average revenue per paid case was higher in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter. Of SkinTE revenues for the second quarter, $0.489 million, or 51.8%, of net revenues waswere generated by three hospital systems, and one of these hospital systems alone was the source of 31.2% of the revenues.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, net revenues from the regenerative medicine product segment are $0.944 million, which represents an increase of $0.440 million or 87% from the $0.504 million of net revenues from the regenerative medicine product segment recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This change is attributable to an increase of 91.3% in the number of paid cases from 46 in the second quarter of 2019 to 88 in the second quarter of 2020, and the higher average revenue per paid case we experienced in the second quarter of 2020.

Contract Services Segment

As noted above we began COVID-19 testing at the beginningand 93% of June 2020, so that at June 30, 2020, we hadour COVID-19 testing revenues were obtained under 30-day renewable testing agreements with 29multiple nursing homes locatedhome and pharmacy facilities in the state of New York controlled by a single company.company (the “NY Client”). On May 10, 2020,March 26, 2021, we were advised by the Governor ofNY Client it is adopting on-site employee testing at its facilities as allowed under new regulations in the Statestate of New York issued an order requiringYork. In June 2021, the number of tests performed for the NY Client was nil and we have not found customers to replace the revenue lost from the NY Client. In the second quarter of 2021, 10% of our testing and research services net revenues were generated by COVID-19 testing, and we expect this percentage will continue to decline unless and until we are able to locate new customers. We are a relatively unknown testing laboratory, so we have relied on word of mouth and management relationships to connect with prospects and vied for new business on the basis of price and service. We cannot predict how well, if at all, employees workingthis marketing approach will work in nursing homes withinfinding new customers, how quickly we may be able to find new customers to replace the state weekly, whichnet revenues lost from the NY Client, or how much any such revenues may be. Even if we are able to find new customers for the COVID-19 testing business there remain substantial uncertainties around the COVID-19 testing business due to rapid developments in testing and vaccines. We intend to carefully monitor the performance of our COVID-19 testing business and scale our laboratory testing operations accordingly, and in the future may discontinue the testing business if we are unable to grow the business to a level where it is a positive contributor to our capital resources.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant adverse effect on the preclinical research services offered by IBEX in 2020, but there has been renewed on a monthly basis. Previouslyresurgence in that business during the New York Governor issued an order, Executive Order 202.10 (the “Executive Order’) that, among other things, suspendedfirst six months of 2021. The increase in revenues from IBEX services helped to offset the requirement that a laboratory outside New York obtain a clinical laboratory permit from New York State if the laboratory holds a CLIA certificate and is engaged to test forloss of COVID-19 in specimens collected from persons in New York State. The Executive Order had a limited duration until April 22, 2020 but has been extended monthly and now expires August 8, 2020. We have not received any indication from the State of New York that the Executive Order will not be renewed in August 2020. This new testing service contributed $0.712 million to net revenues for the contract services segment in the second quarter of 2020 and the remainder was generated by2021. Nevertheless, revenues from our historical clinical service offerings. Net revenues for contract services segmentbusiness declined 55% in the second quarter of 2020 are $1.322 million2021 compared to $0.505 million for the first quarter of 2020. This change is primarily attributable to the revenues generated by the new COVID-19 testingyear. Revenues from our services offered by Arches.

Gross Profit

Cost of sales for the product segment as a percentage of product revenues was 68% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 29% for the second quarter of 2020. Built in production capacity results in a lower incremental cost per unit as product sales increase. There was a reduction in staff that reduced fixed overhead costs increasing gross profit. Cost of sales for the services segment as a percentage of service revenues was 31% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 46% for the second quarter of 2020, which we attribute to variations in service specific materials requirements for performing services in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019. As a result of the changes in net revenues and cost of sales in both segments, the combined effect is that gross profit increased as a percentage higher than net revenues period over period from $.73business were $4.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $1.38 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, or an increase in gross profit of 90%.

Research and Development

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, we recorded research and development expenses totaling $3.16 million, which represents a decrease of $1.60 million, or 34%, from $4.76 million of research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019. There was a reduction in staff in research and development that reduced compensation and benefits costs by $0.50 million and stock compensation expense decreased $1.08 million.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled $5.21 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, which represents a decrease of $9.85 million as compared to $15.06 million of general and administrative expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The primary drivers for this decrease is a $6.75 million reduction in stock compensation expense, due to restricted stock and option forfeitures related to the reduction in force taken during the second quarter of 2020, a $0.99 million reduction in legal, accounting, and consulting fees, a $0.76 million reduction in compensation-related expenses, and a $0.28 million reduction in travel expenses in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $2.02 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, which represents a decrease of $1.96 million, as compared to $3.98 million of sales and marketing expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019. There was a reduction in staff in sales and marketing that reduced compensation and benefits costs by $0.47 million and reduction of marketing and consultant spending of $1.47 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2019. The contract service segment does not have a meaningful sales and marketing component to its business.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and other charges totaled $2.08 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020. There were no restructuring and other charges for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. Management approved several actions designed to improve operational efficiency and financial results including a reduction in force taken during the second quarter of 2020 that increased severance expense by $0.55 million. Management also recorded $1.53 million of asset abandonments within the Company’s regenerative medicine business segment during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Net Revenues

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, we recorded net revenues of $3.20 million, which represents an increase of $.41 million or 15% from the $2.79 million of net revenues recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $.41 million increase in net revenues was due primarily to an increase in revenue in our regenerative medicine product segment.

Regenerative Medicine Product Segment

As noted above, we plan to submit to FDA an IND and BLA for SkinTE. We do not know, and cannot predict, whether FDA will allow us to continue selling SkinTE while our BLA is pending. Accordingly, management determined it was prudent under the circumstances discussed above focus our commercialization effort on the territories where we have current and repeat users of SkinTE. As a result, in May 2020 we eliminated 40 positions in the regenerative medicine product segment, including 24 positions engaged in performing sales and marketing functions.

This change is attributable to an increase of 94.25% in the number of paid SkinTE cases from 87 in the first half of 2019 to 169 for the first half of 2020, and the higher average revenue per paid case we experienced in the second quarter of 2020. Of SkinTE revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, $0.325 million, or 23.6%, of net revenues was generated by one hospital system.

25

Contract Services Segment

As noted above we began COVID-19 testing at the beginning of June 2020, so that at June 30, 2020, we had testing agreements with 29 nursing homes located in the state of New York controlled by a single company. This new testing service contributed $0.712 million to net revenues for the contract services segment in the first half of 2020 and the remainder was generated by our historical clinical service offerings. Net revenues for contract services segment in the six months ended June 30, 2020 are $1.827 million compared to $1.990 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This change is attributable to a decline in net revenues from pre-clinical testing services that was only partially offset by net revenues generated by the new COVID-19 testing services offered by Arches.

Gross Profit

Cost of sales for the product segment as a percentage of product revenues was 77% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 45% for the first six months of 2020. Built in production capacity results in a lower incremental cost per unit as product sales increase. There was a reduction in staff that reduced fixed overhead costs increasing gross profit.

Due to the circumstances described above, we expect revenues from our services segment as a percentage of service revenues was 38%business will be significantly less in the firstlast six months of 20192021 compared to 43% for the firstlast six months of 2020, which we attribute to variations in service specific materials requirements for performing services in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019. As a result of the changes in net revenues and cost of sales in both segments, the combined effect is that gross profit increased as a percentage higher than net revenues period over period from $1.42 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to $1.80 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, or an increase in gross profit of 27%.2020.

 

Research and DevelopmentPPP Loan

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, we recorded research and development expenses totaling $6.54 million, which represents a decrease of $3.58 million, or 35%, from $10.12 million of research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019. There was a reduction in staff in research and development that reduced compensation and benefits costs by $1.22 million and stock compensation expense decreased $2.20 million.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled $15.82 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, which represents a decrease of $16.44 million as compared to $32.26 million of general and administrative expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The primary driver for this decrease is a $12.71 million reduction in stock compensation expense due to restricted stock and option forfeitures in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $5.72 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, compared to $7.93 million of sales and marketing expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019. There was a reduction in staff in sales and marketing in the second quarter of 2020 that reduced compensation and benefits costs and reduced marketing and consultant spending compared to the second quarter of 2019.The service segment does not have a meaningful sales and marketing component to its business.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and other charges totaled $2.54 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. There were no restructuring and other charges for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Management approved several actions designed to improve operational efficiency and financial results including a reduction in force taken during the first half of 2020 that increased severance expense by $1.01 million. Management also recorded $1.53 million of asset abandonments within the Company’s regenerative medicine business segment during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $30.50 million and our working capital was approximately $26.13 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $29.24 million and our working capital of approximately $22.43 million at December 31, 2019. Our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2020, was approximately $461.07 million.

Onpreviously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 12,15, 2020, our subsidiary, PolarityTE MD, Inc. (the “Borrower”), entered into a promissory note with KeyBank, N.A., a national banking association (the “Lender”) evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $3,576,145 made to usthe Borrower under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “Loan”“PPP Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Loan to the Borrower was made through KeyBank, N.A., a national banking associationAdministration (the “Lender”“SBA”). The interest rate on the Loan is 1.00%. Beginning seven months from the date of the Loan the Borrower is required to make 24 monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $150,563. The promissory note evidencing the Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false and misleading representations to the SBA or Lender, or breaching the terms of the Loan documents. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Borrower, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Borrower. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of a loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. No assurance is provided that the Borrower will obtain forgiveness of the Loan in whole or in part.

 

On February 14,October 15, 2020, we completed an underwritten offeringthe Borrower applied to the Lender for forgiveness of 10,638,298 sharesthe PPP Loan in its entirety (as provided for in the CARES Act) based on the Borrower’s use of our common stockthe PPP Loan for payroll costs, rent, and warrantsutilities. On October 26, 2020, the Borrower was advised that the Lender approved the application, and that the Lender was submitting the application to purchase 10,638,298 shares of common stock. Each common share and warrant were sold togetherthe SBA for a combined public purchase pricefinal decision.

WeOur Plan Going Forward

Our business resources are, party to an Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of December 5, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Keystone Capital Partners, LLC (“Keystone”), pursuant to which Keystone has agreed to purchase from us up to $25.0 million of sharesand will be for the foreseeable future, focused primarily on the advancement of our common stock, subjectIND and subsequent BLA to certain limitations includingattain a minimum purchase price of $2.00 per share, at our directionlicense to manufacture and distribute SkinTE in interstate commerce for one or more therapeutic indications. An IND is a request for authorization from the FDA to ship and administer an investigational drug or biological product to humans. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA within the 30-day time to time duringperiod raises concerns or questions about the 36-month termconduct of the Purchase Agreement. Concurrently,clinical trial. In such a case, the IND sponsor must resolve any outstanding concerns with the FDA before the clinical trial may begin.

The proposed therapeutic indication listed in the IND for SkinTE is chronic cutaneous ulcers. The IND proposes an initial Phase 2/3 clinical trial described as a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of SkinTE in the treatment of full-thickness diabetic foot ulcers (the “DFU Trial”). As proposed, we entered intowill seek to qualify approximately 20 sites for the DFU Trial and enroll 100 subjects, and the estimated length of the DFU Trial is approximately 32 months from commencement after acceptance of our IND by the FDA, assuming the IND is accepted. It should be noted that the design and parameters of the DFU Trial could change as a Registration Rights Agreement with Keystone, pursuantresult of the FDA’s response to our IND. The IND includes a proposal for a second clinical trial for diabetic foot ulcer or another form of chronic cutaneous ulcer, such as venous leg ulcer or pressure ulcer, which we agreedplan to registerdetermine through a dialogue with the salesFDA. A separate submission to our IND must be made for each successive clinical trial to be conducted under the IND.

27

Our preliminary experience indicates that SkinTE may benefit patients with immediately life-threatening conditions and other serious diseases or conditions. In 2009, the FDA implemented new regulations related to Expanded Access Investigational New Drug Applications (“Expanded Access INDs”), which are often colloquially referred to as “compassionate use,” and pertain to the use of an investigational drug or biologic when the primary purpose is to diagnose, monitor, or treat a patient’s disease or condition, rather than to obtain the kind of information about the drug that is generally derived from clinical trials. The FDA has proposed several processes for obtaining Expanded Access INDs, which we will evaluate for potential implementation in connection with a successful opening of our common stock pursuantIND for SkinTE. Under FDA regulations the amount that may be charged for SkinTE used under an Expanded Use IND is limited to our direct costs of manufacture. Accordingly, Expanded Access INDs are not a means of replacing revenue we lost when we ceased commercial sale of SkinTE, but we believe this may enable us to provide SkinTE to providers treating persons with life-threatening or serious diseases and conditions and maintain on-going relationships with physicians we believe to be key opinion leaders in the Purchase Agreement under our existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or a new registration statement.

Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending upon the period from the date of the Purchase Agreement to the date of this filing, we have sold 270,502 sharestiming of our common stock underclinical trials and our expenditures for satisfying all the Purchase Agreement generating total gross proceedsconditions of $725,000 and have upobtaining FDA premarket approval for SkinTE.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of August 6, 2020,June 30, 2021, we had $32.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $30.5 million. We believe the cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet will fund our business activities through the end of 2021 and into, but not beyond, the third quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2021 cash used in operating activities was $4.1 million, or an average of $1.4 million per month, compared to $6.6 million cash used in operating activities, or an average of $2.2 million per month, in the first quarter of 2021 and compared to $11.6 million cash used in operating activities, or an average of $3.9 million per month, in the second quarter of 2020.

In June 2021 our PPP Loan in the amount of $3.6 million was forgiven, so we will not need to use our capital resources to repay the PPP Loan in future periods.

As noted above, we are focused primarily on the advancement of our IND and subsequent BLA to attain a license to manufacture and distribute SkinTE. To that end, in June 2021, we engaged a contract research organization to provide services for the DFU Trial at a cost of approximately $5.1 million with an initial payment due in July 2021 of $0.5 million and then payable periodically as services are provided over the nearly three-year term of the DFU Trial. Our expectation is that the second clinical trial would be similar to the DFU Trial with respect to size, length of time to complete, and cost. In the course of advancing our IND and subsequent BLA we may propose additional clinical trials to advance our applications or broaden the therapeutic indications of use for SkinTE. Clinical trials are the major expense we see in the near and long term, and while we are pursuing clinical trials we will continue to incur the costs of maintaining our business. In addition to clinical trials, the most significant uses of cash to maintain our business going forward are compensation and costs of occupying and maintaining our facilities.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the gross profit on sales of SkinTE was $2.5 million, which contributed to covering our operating costs for the period. As discussed above, we ceased SkinTE sales at the end of May 2021, so SkinTE sales will not contribute to defraying our operating costs in the foreseeable future. To mitigate the effect of this lost revenue we eliminated some staff and resources that supported the SkinTE commercial effort, but we do not expect to see the benefit of these cost reductions until the fourth quarter of 2021 because of severance and other costs associated with winding down our SkinTE commercial activity. The cessation of our commercial SkinTE operation in the second quarter is likely to have an adverse effect on our working capital in future periods that we cannot predict at this time.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the gross profit from services amounted to approximately $1.7 million, which contributed to covering our operating costs for the period. As discussed above, we expect our service revenue will be substantially diminished on a go forward basis due to the loss of COVID-19 testing business. There was a significant loss of COVID-19 testing revenues in the second quarter of 2021 that was partially offset by increased preclinical research revenues generated by IBEX, so services revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2021, compared to the first quarter of the year. We took steps in the second quarter of 2021 to mitigate the effect of losing COVID-19 testing revenue, including reduction of temporary labor and other resources used for COVID-19 testing. We cannot predict whether or to what extent our COVID-19 testing business will recover, if at all, in future periods. The volatility in revenues generated by our services business makes it impossible to predict whether or to what extent our services business will contribute to defray our operating costs in future periods. The loss of COVID-19 business in the second quarter of 2021 will likely have an adverse effect on our working capital in future periods that we cannot predict at this time.

As of the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed financial statements, the Company expectswe expect that itsour cash and cash equivalents of $30.50$32.6 million as of June 30, 2020,2021, will not be sufficient to fund itsour current business plan including related operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second quarter of 2021.beyond July 2022. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’sour ability to continue as a going concern, as the Company doeswe do not believe that itsour cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund such business plan for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these interim financial statements. The Company plansWe plan to address this condition by raising additional capital to finance itsour operations. Although the Company haswe have been successful in raising capital in the past, financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all, so there is no assurance that itwe will be successful in obtaining additional financing. Therefore, it is not considered probable, as defined in applicable accounting standards, that the Company’sour plans to raise additional capital will alleviate the substantial doubt regarding itsour ability to continue as a going concern.

For the foreseeable future we will continue to pursue fundraising opportunities when available. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our product development programs or be unable to continue operations over a longer term. We plan to meet our future capital requirements primarily through issuances of equity securities, debt financing, or strategic partnership arrangements. Failure to generate revenue or raise additional capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our intended business objectives

 

Our actual capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the cost and timing of pursuing a biologics license applicationour IND and subsequent BLA for SkinTE, we intend to file with FDA; the progress and success of clinical evaluation and acceptance of SkinTE; our ability to develop our other product candidates; and the costscost and timing of obtaining any required regulatory registrations or approvals forclinical trials, the cost of establishing and maintaining our facilities in compliance with cGMP and cGTP (current good tissue practices) regulations, and the cost and timing of advancing our product candidates.development initiatives related to SkinTE. Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. The foregoing factors, along with the other factors described in the section, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Part II of this Report on Form 10-Q

We will impact our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds. If we are requiredneed to raise additional funds,capital in the future to fund our effort to obtain FDA approval of SkinTE and maintain our operations in the future. On March 30, 2021, we entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor, Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), to sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million, from time to time, through an “at the market” equity offering program under which Cantor will act as sales agent. We have not sold any shares under the Sales Agreement as of the date of this filing. Although we have been successful in raising capital in the past, financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all, so there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing. Any additional equity financing may be highly dilutive, or otherwise disadvantageous, to existing stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. If we elect to pursue collaborative arrangements, the terms of such arrangements may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, products, or marketing territories. Our failure to raise additional capital when needed, and on acceptable terms, would require us to reduce our operating expenses and would limit our ability to develop our product candidates and to continue operations, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Discussion of Results of Operations

There have been significant changes in items affecting our results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, net cash useddue to:

The decision in April 2020 to file an IND with the FDA for SkinTE and, as a result, transition from a commercial stage company to a clinical stage company;

The COVID-19 testing business that began in the last week of May 2020 that generated significant services revenues through March 2021, but has since substantially diminished; and

The COVID-19 pandemic, which had a negative impact on revenues from the sale of SkinTE and IBEX services in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, but not in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

As a result of the foregoing developments, we made a number of changes to our operations that impacted our results of operations. These included reductions in operating activities was $25.41our work force in March and May 2020 and on June 1, 2021, and reducing the services and infrastructure needed to support a larger work force and commercial sales effort.

31

Net Revenues. Net revenues increased $4.0 million, which included $1.16 million of issuance fees relatedor 127%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the February raise. The cash usedsix months ended June 30, 2020, and $0.3 million, or 12%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in operating activities was due to a net loss of $25.72 million adjusted by $2.94 million due to remeasurement of the warrant liability arising from the underwritten offering of common stock and warrants in February 2020, which was offset by the non-cash expenses of $3.78 million for stock compensation expense.2020.

 

DuringWe effectuated a substantial reduction in force for our commercial operations in May 2020, which together with the effect of COVID-19 on selling product to healthcare institutions caused us to adopt a sales strategy in May 2020 to focus on regions and facilities where we had repeat users of SkinTE. As a result of this strategy, products net revenues increased by 113% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019,2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Products net cash usedrevenues also showed an increase 27% for the three-months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in operating activities was $28.79 million, which was due to a net loss2020, even though we ceased making product sales at the end of $48.37 million offset primarily by the non-cash expenses of $18.91 million for stock compensation expenseMay 2021.

 

Cash providedNet revenues from services remained essentially unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, but the mix of business activity generating those revenues changed from a majority of service revenues generated by (used in) investing activitiesCOVID-19 testing in the second quarter of 2020 to a majority of service revenues generated by pre-clinical research services in 2021. Our COVID-19 testing services continued to be a significant contributor to overall services revenues in the first quarter of 2021 and, as a result, our services revenues increased 137% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

 

DuringCost of Sales. Cost of sales increased $1.7 million, or 121%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $0.04 million, or 5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

Cost of sales for products revenues decreased 27% period over period for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and decreased 25% period over period for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, even though revenues were higher in 2021 for both the six and three-month periods, which is attributable to the economies of scale we achieved by selling product for larger wound sizes in 2021 compared to 2020.

Cost of sales for services revenues increased 237% period over period for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and increased 18% period over period for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, which is primarily attributable to the cost of sales pertaining to the COVID-19 testing service that only began in the last week of May 2020, including a write-off of inventory for the COVID-19 testing business in the first quarter of 2021 due to the substantial decrease in that business during the quarter.

Operating Costs and Expenses. Operating costs and expenses decreased $9.6 million, or 31%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $2.2 million, or 18%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

Research and development expenses increased 1% period over period for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and increased 32% period over period for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The substantial increase in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, is primarily attributable to the costs in our clinical trials driven by completing our diabetic foot ulcers trial, increase in lab supplies for work on preparing the technical items for our IND, and consulting services for preparing our IND, which was only partially offset by savings from reductions in staff made during the second quarter of 2020 in the research and development department.

As noted above, we effectuated a substantial reduction in force for our commercial operations in May 2020. Consequently, there were significant reductions in cash compensation, stock compensation, consulting fees, and travel expense, as well as significant credits from forfeiture of stock awards by persons no longer employed by us. As we pared down our staff and sales activity, we also reduced expenses related to a larger operation by terminating our lease for the Utah corporate office in September 2020 and ceasing operations at our manufacturing node in Georgia in the fourth quarter of 2020. The cost cutting measures described above are the primary causes of a 28% decrease in general and administrative expense period over period for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 5% decrease period over period for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

32

When we reduced our commercial sales team and related commercial activities beginning in May 2020, we also took steps to reduce staff and consultants in sales and marketing. Consequently, there were significant reductions in cash compensation, stock compensation, consulting fees, and travel expense, as well as significant credits from forfeiture of stock awards by persons no longer employed by us, which resulted in a 54% decrease in sales and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and 46% decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

We realized restructuring and other charges as a result of the transition to a clinical stage company, much of which was recognized in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The reduction in force in March 2020 net cash provided by investing activities was $17.80resulted in a severance charge of $0.5 million, and the subsequent reduction in May 2020 resulted in a charge of $0.6 million. In the second quarter of 2020 we also decided to abandon equipment in addition to the development of a vivarium research facility at our Salt Lake City location resulting in a charge of $1.5 million. By contrast, during the six month-period ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a loss on impairment of property and equipment in the amount of $0.4 million and severance charges of $0.3 million, which were offset by a $0.3 million gain on the termination of our Augusta node lease. Consequently, there was due primarilyan 83% decrease in restructuring and other charges for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to proceeds from the salesix months ended June 30, 2020, and maturities of available99% decrease for sale securities.the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

 

DuringOperating Loss and Net Loss. Operating loss decreased $12.0 million, or 42%, for the six-month periodsix months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used2021, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $2.5 million, or 22%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in investing activities was $8.282020. Net loss decreased $5.1 million, which was due primarily dueor 20%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to purchases of availablethe six months ended June 30, 2020, and $9.5 million, or 75%, for sale securities.the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

 

Cash provided by financing activitiesWarrants issued in connection with financings we completed in January 2021 are classified as liabilities and remeasured each period until settled or until classified as equity. As a result of the periodic remeasurement we recorded a charge for common stock warrants of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and recorded a gain of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For additional information on the change in fair value of common stock warrant liability please see note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in this report.

 

DuringWhen the six-month periodPPP Loan was forgiven in June 2021, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $3.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided2021, this gain was offset by financing activities was $27.90a day one loss on warrants issued in January 2021 of $5.2 million due to proceeds from financing arrangements and net proceeds received fromplus a loss on the salechange in fair value of common stock warrant liability of $2.2 million, which are primarily responsible for other expense of $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and warrants.the $3.8 million difference between our operating loss and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

DuringAs noted above, we recognized the six-month periodgain on the PPP Loan forgiveness in the second quarter of 2021. There was no day one loss on warrants issued recorded in the second quarter of 2021, but there was a gain on the change in fair value of common stock warrant liability of $1.8 million. Consequently, we recognized other income for the three months ended June 30, 2019,2021, of $5.4 million, which is the primary cause for the reduction of our net cash provided by financing activities was $27.28 million primarily dueloss compared to proceeds received from the sale of common stock.our operating loss.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The table below shows adjusted net loss, which is a non-GAAP measure that shows net loss before fair value adjustments relating to our common stock warrant liability and warrant inducement loss. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of non-operating items that can significantly fluctuate from period to period due to fair value remeasurements. For purposes of calculating non-GAAP per share metrics, the same denominator is used as that which was used in calculating net loss per share under GAAP.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

For a description of our significant accounting policies, see note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.

28

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the disclosure of gain or loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements is the extent of progress toward completion of contracts, stock-based compensation, the valuation allowances for deferred tax benefits, and the valuation of tangible and intangible assets included in acquisitions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects. With respect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company records product revenues primarily from the sale of its regenerative tissue products. The Company sells its products to healthcare providers, primarily through direct sales representatives. Product revenues consists of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. In general, the Company recognizes product revenue upon delivery to the customer.

The Company records service revenues from the sale of its preclinical researchcontract services and contract services. Preclinical research services includes delivery of preclinical studies and other research services to unrelated third parties. Serviceprovided by IBEX, revenues generally consist of a single performance obligation that the CompanyIBEX satisfies over time using an input method based on costs incurred to date relative to the total costs expected to be required to satisfy the performance obligation. The Company believesWe believe that this method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of services over the term of the performance obligation based on the remaining services needed to satisfy the obligation. This requires the Company tothat our services personnel at IBEX make reasonable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion of the contract. Ascontract and, as a result, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue are recognized based on payment timing and work completed. Generally, a portion of the payment is due upfront and the remainder upon completion of the contract, with most contracts completing in less than a year. Contract services includes research and laboratory testing services to unrelated third parties on a contract basis. These customer contracts generally consist of a single performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of testing results to the customer.

 

Costs to obtain the contract are incurred for products revenues as they are shipped and are expensed as incurred.Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation

We measure all stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees using a fair value method and records such expense in research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing expenses.

The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.grant commensurate with the expected term of the option. The volatility factor is determined based on the Company’sour historical stock prices. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The fair value of restricted stock grants is measured based on the fair market value of the Company’sour common stock on the date of grant and amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of, generally, six months to three years.

 

29

Accruals for Research and Development Expenses and Clinical Trials

As part of the process of preparing its financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment terms that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company’s objective is to reflect the appropriate expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. The Company accounts for these expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the expenses. The Company determines accrual estimates by taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, its understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in it reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any particular period.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows.

Common Stock and Warrant TransactionsLiability

. The Company issued units consisting of common stock and warrants and subsequently remeasured those warrants at fair value. Determining the fair value of the securities in these transactions requires significant judgment, including adjustments to quoted share prices and expectedcommon stock volatility. Such estimates may significantly impactwarrant liability is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which involves simulated future stock price amounts over the remaining life of the commitment. The fair value estimate is affected by our resultsstock price as well as estimated change of operations and losses applicable to common stockholders.control considerations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, that continued to exist as of March 31, 2020, which was the failure to execute controls relating to reconciliation procedures. In addition, we did not have a sufficient level of precision in our review procedures to detect potentially material errors in accrual and related accounts. In the first quarter of 2020 management implemented a systemic tool to enhance the reconciliation and review procedures identified in the material weakness above. This change in our internal control over financial reporting remediated the material weakness as of June 30, 2020.

31

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020,2021, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.2021.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. The risks described in that Annual Report and Quarterly Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially, adversely affect our business, financial position, or future results of operations. The risk factors set forth below update, and should be read together with, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020.

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Capital RequirementsCondition

We will need additional funding to pursue the regulatory process for SkinTE and sustain our operations, and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which would force us to delay, reduce, eliminate, or abandon our product development programs.

 

We reported a net loss of $25.7$20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 20202021, and at June 30, 2020,2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $461.1$498.8 million. We believe we canour cash and cash equivalents on our balance will fund our current business plan including related operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second quarter of 2021.to, but not beyond, July 2022. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern beyond the second quarter of 2021that time unless we can raise additional capital from external sources.

 

We expect to incur significant operating costs in the near term as we pursue the regulatory process for filing an IND and BLASkinTE with the FDA, conduct clinical trials and studies, and pursue product research, all while operating our business segments and incurring continuing fixed costs related to the maintenance of our assets and business. We cannot predict whether we will be restricted by FDA with respect to SkinTE sales while our BLA is pending, and the net revenues generated from COVID-19 testing is a very recent development, so we are unable to predict any future trend for this testing revenue. In any event, we do not expect net revenues from our business segments will be enough to defray our costs of doing business. Consequently, we expect to incur significant losses in the future, and those losses could be more severe as a result of unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown events, including the unpredictable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.events.

 

36

We will need additional funding

If adequate funds are not available to meet ourus in the future, business needs and we may be unable to raise additional funds in a timely manner or on terms that are acceptable to us. If are not able to obtain sufficient funds, we may haverequired to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our product development programsplans for obtaining regulatory approval for SkinTE or be unable to continue operations over a longer term.term, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Item 5. Other Information

We began a multicenter, randomized controlled trial evaluating SkinTE plus standard of care (SOC) versus SOC alone in treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (the “DFU RCT”). In July 2021, we announced final data from the DFU RCT. The size of the study is 100 patients who were evaluated across 13 sites, with 50 participants receiving SkinTE plus SOC and 50 receiving SOC alone. The trial met the primary endpoint of wound closure at 12 weeks and secondary endpoint of Percent Area Reduction (PAR) assessed at 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks. Final analysis of the DFU RCT shows the following:

Primary Endpoint: 70% (35/50) of participants receiving SkinTE plus SOC had wound closure at 12 weeks versus 34% (17/50) of participants receiving SOC alone (p=0.00032)
Secondary Endpoint: Percent Area Reduction (PAR) assessed at 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks was significantly greater for the SkinTE plus SOC treatment group vs SOC alone (p=0.009)
90% (45/50) of SkinTE plus SOC treated participants received a single application of SkinTE
Treatment with SkinTE plus SOC increased the odds of wound closure by 5.37 times versus SOC (p=0.001)

148 Adverse Events (AEs) were allocated to 49 subjects. The SkinTE plus SOC treatment group had 66 AEs allocated to 21 subjects while the SOC treatment group had 82 AEs allocated to 28 subjects. There were 26 Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), 12 in the SkinTE plus SOC treatment group (7 subjects) and 14 in the SOC treatment group (9 subjects).

Wound size for the SkinTE plus SOC treatment group was 3.5 cm2 versus 3.2 cm2 for the SOC treatment group (p=0.46). A comparison by treatment group for wound-related variables showed that variables were well balanced between groups with the exception of sharp debridement count, which was marginally statistically significantly higher in the SOC group compared to the SkinTE group, due to shorter wound closure times in the SkinTE group.

We incorporated data from the trial as part of the IND we submitted to the FDA on July 23, 2021, but the DFU RCT will not be considered to be a registrational trial as part of a BLA submission.
