VYCOR MEDICAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JuneSeptember 30, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Vycor Medical, Inc. (the “Company” or “Vycor”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. In accordance with those rules and regulations certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 derives from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. Certain prior period amounts on the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Ability to continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $586,020$946,492 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and has not generated sufficient positive cash flows from operations. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $634,822,$688,725, excluding related party liabilities of $1,505,100.$1,675,120. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company is executing on a plan to achieve a reduction in cash operating losses. Included within the working capital deficiency above is a term note for $300,000 to EuroAmerican Investment Corp. (“EuroAmerican”), together with accrued interest of $304,699,$316,798, which has a maturity date of December 31, 2020, having been extended on a number of occasions from its initial due date of June 11, 2011. At this time, it is not known whether any further extension of the note beyond December 31, 2020 will be available. However, the Company believes it may not have sufficient cash to meet its various cash needs through August 31,November 30, 2021 unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Fountainhead, the Company’s largest shareholder, has provided working capital funding to the Company on an as-needed basis, although there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case. The Company may consider seeking additional equity or debt funding, although there is no assurance that this would be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay or curtail development or commercialization of products, or cease some of its operations.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vycor Medical, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NovaVision, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), NovaVision GmbH (a German corporation) and Sight Science Limited (a UK corporation), both wholly owned subsidiaries of NovaVision, Inc. The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. All material inter-company accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Following the decision in April 2020 to close the German office of NovaVision, the activities of NovaVision GmbH have been accounted for as discontinued operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that, other than as disclosed above, such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meets the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E to be classified as held for sale. When all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale are met, including management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the entity, the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations (which we presented as operations to be disposed and operations disposed), less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations in accordance with ASC 205-20-45.

 

Leases

 

The Company has one leased building in Boca Raton, Florida that is classified as operating lease right-of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as per ASC 842. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date for leases exceeding 12 months. Minimum lease payments include only the fixed lease component of the agreement. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of Selling, General and Administrative expenses.

 

The standard was effective for us beginning January 1, 2019. The Company elected the available practical expedients on adoption. The adoption had a material impact on our unaudited consolidated balance sheets, but did not have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholdersstockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce a net loss per share. No dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares in the periods presented because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock and debt would be anti-dilutive.

8

The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share:

 

 June 30, 2020  June 30, 2019  September 30, 2020  September 30, 2019 
Stock options outstanding  680,000   700,000   680,000   700,000

Covid-19

 

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, as of the time of the filing of this Form 10-Q, several states in the United States remain in states of emergency, and travel restrictions continue to be applied in several countries around the world, including the United States. Vycor Medical experienced a reduction in demand during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 in the US and Internationally. Although neurosurgery is not considered an elective procedure, general hospital dislocation and diversion of resources away from non-emergency surgeries, or surgeries that can be postponed for a short period without harm, has impacted our revenues during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and could continue to do so. In addition, sales and marketing efforts by Vycor’s representatives have been disrupted or curtailed due to lockdown and social distancing, and this has and may continue to hinder the recovery of revenues. While our operations are principally located in the United States, and our sub-contract manufacturers are located in the United States, we participate in a global supply chain, and the existence of a worldwide pandemic, the fear associated with COVID-19, or any, pandemic, and the reactions of governments around the world in response to COVID-19, or any, pandemic, to regulate the flow of labor and products and impede the travel of personnel, may impact our ability to conduct normal business operations, which could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. Disruptions to our supply chain and business operations, or to our suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could include disruptions from the closure of supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in the supply of raw materials and components, personnel absences, or restrictions on the shipment of our or our suppliers’ or customers’ products, any of which could have adverse ripple effects on our manufacturing output and delivery schedule. Although we have implemented business continuity plans for our offices and personnel to enable continuity of service remotely, if a critical number of our employees become too ill to work, or we are not able to access a sufficient quantity of our inventory for shipment due to enforced office closures, our production ability could be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Similarly, if our customers experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19, or any other, pandemic, demand for our products could also be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Global health concerns, such as COVID-19, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries and localities in which we or our suppliers and customers operate. Any of these uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

3.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

In April 2020, the board of Vycor took the decision to close the German operations of NovaVision, including the German office and NovaVision GmbH, and instead migrate to a licensed business model; in June 2020 Vycor announced that it would be entering into a license agreement and transition agreement (the “Agreements”) with HelferApp GmbH, a cognitive therapy specialist. Under the Agreements, HelferApp will beis licensed to provide NovaVision’s products and therapies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to patients and professionals; and will assumehas assumed responsibility for the current patients of NovaVision in the territory. The NovaVision German office was closed effective June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to fund the remaining expenses of the German operations, which are non-material, until such a time as NovaVision GmbH will be formally wound up.

In January 2018 the Company entered into an amendment agreement (the “Amendment”) with EuroAmerican Investments (“EuroAmerican”) regarding its $300,000 loan note (the “Note”). Under the Amendment, the Note was extended and the conversion terms of the Note were reduced to $0.21, the same as the offering price of the 2018 Offering. Conversion of the Note and accrued interest would result in the issuance of 2,879,5212,937,133 shares of Common Stock as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Notwithstanding, EuroAmerican agreed that the Note could not be converted without first offering the Company the right to redeem the Note at principal and accrued interest, and secondly Fountainhead the right to purchase the Note, which cannot be converted prior to such offer and the failure of the Company and Fountainhead to exercise such option in accordance with the amendment terms. In addition, the Company agreed to issue warrants to purchase 2,308,405 shares of Common Stock at $0.27, the same terms as the 2018 Offering, exercisable for three years from January 1, 2018, if and when the conversion option is exercised. The amendment was recognized as a modification, based on the guidance in ASC 470-50.

 

The Company routinely finances all their insurance policies through a third party finance company which requires a down payment and subsequent monthly payments, the time periods vary from 10 months to 12 equal monthly payments.

8.SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION13

8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock Option Plan

 

Under ASC Topic 718, the Company estimates the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The grant date fair value is recognized over the option-vesting period, the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Under these standards, compensation cost for employee cost for employee stock-based awards is based on the estimated grant-date fair value and recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award on a straight-line basis.

 

For each of the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized share-based compensation of $0 for employee stock options.

 

Stock appreciation rights may be granted either on a stand-alone basis or in conjunction with all or part of any other stock options granted under the plan. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 there were no awards of any stock appreciation rights.

 

Non-Employee Stock Compensation

 

The Company from time to time issues common stock, stock options or common stock warrants to acquire services or goods from non-employees. Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, which is measured as of the “measurement date”. The “measurement date” for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant.

 

Aggregate stock-based compensation for stock granted to non-employees for each of the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 was $266,699.$266,664 and $299,997. The expense related to stock not issued during each of the periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 comprises $42,000,$56,000 and $63,000, related to stock granted but not issued to directors under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, there was $0 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to warrant and stock awards and non-vested options.

 

Stock-based Compensation Valuation Methodology

 

Stock-based compensation resulting from the issuance of Common Stock is calculated by reference to the valuation of the Stock on the date of issuance, the expense being recognized as the compensation is earned. Stock-based compensation expenses related to employee options and warrants granted to non-employees are recognized as the stock options and warrants are earned. The fair value of the stock options or warrants granted is estimated at the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the life of the option or warrant. The grant date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the measurement date, adjusted for the unique characteristics of those equity instruments, using the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term of options and warrants was based upon the expected life of the option or warrant, and the risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rate.

 

There were no options or warrants issued during either of the periods ending JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

Potential German tax liability

 

In June 2012 the Company’s NovaVision German subsidiary received a preliminary assessment for Magdeburg City trade tax of €75,000 (approximately $82,000), with an additional interest charge of €12,000 (approximately $13,200). This assessment is for the 2010 fiscal year and relates to the Company’s acquisition of the assets of the former NovaVision, Inc. An initial assessment for corporate tax for the same period was preliminarily reduced to zero. The Company did not accept this trade tax assessment and appealed against it to the relevant tax authorities with a view to its reduction. The relevant tax authorities agreed to suspend the assessment pending the outcome of certain court hearings and proposed tax legislation, and the Company agreed to make monthly payments on account totaling €75,000 (approximately $82,000) which were completed in October 2016 and fully expensed. At that time the Company appealed against the interest charge of €12,000 (approximately $13,200) which the tax authorities did not accept but also agreed to suspend pending the outcome of the hearings and proposed legislation outlined above. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for this liability in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 respectively.

On August 14, 2007, we converted into a Delaware corporation and changed our name to “Vycor Medical, Inc.”. The Company’s listing went effective on February 2009 and on November 29, 2010 Vycor completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NovaVision, Inc. (“NovaVision”) and on January 4, 2012 Vycor, through its wholly-owned NovaVision subsidiary, completed the acquisition of all the shares of Sight Science Limited (“Sight Science”).

2. Overview of Business

 

Vycor is dedicated to providing the medical community with innovative and superior surgical and therapeutic solutions and operates two distinct business units within the medical device industry. Vycor Medical designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. NovaVision provides non-invasive rehabilitation therapies for those who have vision disorders resulting from neurological brain damage such as that caused by a stroke. Both businesses adopt a minimally or non-invasive approach. Both technologies have strong sales growth potential, address large potential markets and have the requisite regulatory approvals. The Company has 65 issued or allowed patents and a further 9 pending. The Company leverages joint resources across the divisions to operate in a cost-efficient manner.

 

The Company periodically engages in discussions with potential strategic partners for or purchasers of each or both of our operating divisions. In April 2020, the board of Vycor took the decision to close the German operations of NovaVision, including the German office and NovaVision GmbH, and instead migrate to a licensed business model; in June 2020 Vycor announced that it would be entering into a license agreement and transition agreement (the “Agreements”) with HelferApp GmbH, a cognitive therapy specialist. Under the Agreements, HelferApp will beis licensed to provide NovaVision’s products and therapies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to patients and professionals; and will assumehas assumed responsibility for the current patients of NovaVision in the territory. The NovaVision German office was closed effective June 30, 2020.

 

Vycor Medical

 

Vycor Medical designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. Vycor Medical’s ViewSite Brain Access System (“VBAS”) is a next generation retraction and access system that was fully commercialized in early 2010 and is the first significant technological change to brain tissue retraction in over 50 years in contrast to significant development in most other neuro-surgical technologies. Vycor Medical is ISO 13485:2016 and MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) certified, and VBAS has U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance and CE Marking for Europe (Class III) for brain and spine surgeries, and regulatory approvals in a number of other international markets. Vycor Medical has 27 granted and 9 pending patents.

 

NovaVision

 

NovaVision provides non-invasive, computer-based rehabilitation therapies targeted at people who have impaired vision as a result of stroke or other brain injury, and has 38 granted patents.

 

Strategy

 

The Company is continuing to execute on a plan to achieve revenue growth and a reduction in cash operating losses1. For Vycor Medical this plan includes in particular: increasing market penetration in the US through broadening of the distribution network and programs to increase penetration in existing hospitals; increasing international growth in territories where we are not represented or under represented; and continued new product development. The first phase of the modification of the existing VBAS product range to make it more compatible with the most common IGS systems was completed in September 2017 and has been well received by surgeons, resulting in increased hospital penetration and revenues particularly in the US. The second phase of the development of further IGS integration is complete, subject to regulatory clearances and approvals. Upon regulatory clearances and product release of this new VBAS AC model range the Company intends to conduct a multi-center study to provide additional clinical data on the product. We will also be exploring with surgeons and focus groups additional selected development work targeted at increasing the ease and applicability of our products to additional common procedures. For NovaVision, given the company’s resources, and the large size and diversity of its end markets, we believe that the most efficient way to tackle the distribution of its broad range of patient and professional products is by partnering with entities that have either direct access to the end users or a desire and financial wherewithal to leverage the NovaVision therapy platform. As a result, the Company has now closed the NovaVision German office and is entering into a license agreement with HelferApp, a cognitive therapy specialist, for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and is seeking similar partnerships in other territories with regional companies able to leverage NovaVision’s clinically supported vision therapies. Management is also open to a broad range of alternatives for NovaVision as a whole, which could comprise distribution and marketing partnerships, licensing, merger or sale.

 

The NovaVision German operation accounted for a very substantial proportion of Vycor’s operating cash loss1 during the year ended December 31, 2019. This proportion has been reduced during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 for two reasons: firstly, the selling, general and administrative expenses of NovaVision Germany have been reduced as the operation has been wound down; and secondly due to the impact on Vycor revenues from Covid-19 discussed below.

In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, as of the time of the filing of this Form 10-Q, several states in the United States remain in states of emergency, and travel restrictions continue to be applied in several countries around the world, including the United States. Vycor Medical experienced a reduction in demand during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 in the US and Europe. Although neurosurgery is not considered an elective procedure, general hospital dislocation and diversion of resources away from non-emergency surgeries, or surgeries that can be postponed for a short period without harm, has impacted our revenues during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and could continue to do so. In addition, sales and marketing efforts by Vycor’s representatives have been disrupted or curtailed due to lockdown and social distancing, and this has and may continue to hinder the recovery of revenues. While our operations are principally located in the United States, and our sub-contract manufacturers are located in the United States, we participate in a global supply chain, and the existence of a worldwide pandemic, the fear associated with COVID-19, or any, pandemic, and the reactions of governments around the world in response to COVID-19, or any, pandemic, to regulate the flow of labor and products and impede the travel of personnel, may impact our ability to conduct normal business operations, which could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. Disruptions to our supply chain and business operations, or to our suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could include disruptions from the closure of supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in the supply of raw materials and components, personnel absences, or restrictions on the shipment of our or our suppliers’ or customers’ products, any of which could have adverse ripple effects on our manufacturing output and delivery schedule. Although we have implemented business continuity plans for our offices and personnel to enable continuity of service remotely, if a critical number of our employees become too ill to work, or we are not able to access a sufficient quantity of our inventory for shipment due to enforced office closures, our production ability could be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Similarly, if our customers experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19, or any other, pandemic, demand for our products could also be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Global health concerns, such as COVID-19, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries and localities in which we or our suppliers and customers operate. Any of these uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash of $120,187$174,282 in the period have no impact on liquidity. The change in Net loss adjusted for non-cash items of ($59,683)56,300) was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Vycor division sales.sales, which also accounts for the reduction in accounts receivable of $137,154. At December 31, 2019 there was an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities mainly due to expenditure on regulatory for the transition to a new EU Notified Body, and regulatory and testing for the VBAS development occurring during the fourth quarter. The net change in accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $231,277 was mainly due to the settlement of these accounts. The net change of $54,218 in discontinued operations comprised a reduction of $72,331 in liabilities being transferred to the license partner, NovaVision, Inc. or eliminated; offset by a $18,113 reduction in assets being to the license partner, NovaVision, Inc. or written off.

 

Additional inventory of $30,745$40,559 was purchased during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 as part of normal production, and the Company anticipates purchasing additional new inventory of approximately $80,000 during the next twelve months.

 

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities of continuing operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 was $47,406,$60,132, which reflected expenditure on the second phase of modifying the VBAS product suite to make it easier to integrate with IGS. The Company anticipates additional expenditures for this second phase, including work to obtain regulatory clearances and approvals, of approximately $80,000.$40,000. The $9,574 change in investing activities of discontinued operations was due the writing off of long term assets.

 

Financing Activities. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 the Company received funds of $80,000 in respect of loans from Fountainhead. The Company also received a loan of $58,600 during the period, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the CARES Act, and a $150,000 loan from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) EIDL program.

 

Liquidity and Plan of Operations, Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $586,020$946,492 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and has not generated sufficient positive cash flows from operations. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $634,822,$688,725, excluding related party liabilities of $1,505,100.$1,675,120. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As described earlier in this ITEM 2 “Strategy”, the Company is continuing to execute on a plan to achieve revenue growth and a reduction in cash operating losses2. For Vycor Medical this plan includes in particular: increasing market penetration in the US through broadening of the distribution network and programs to increase penetration in existing hospitals; increasing international growth in territories where we are not represented or under represented; and continued new product development. The first phase of the modification of the existing VBAS product range to make it more compatible with the most common IGS systems was completed in September 2017 and has been well received by surgeons, resulting in increased hospital penetration and revenues particularly in the US. The second phase of the development of further IGS integration is complete subject to regulatory clearances and approvals. Upon regulatory clearances and product release of this new VBAS AC model range the Company intends to conduct a multi-center study to provide additional clinical data on the product. We will also be exploring with surgeons and focus groups additional selected development work targeted at increasing the ease and applicability of our products to additional common procedures. For NovaVision, given the company’s resources, and the large size and diversity of its end markets, we believe that the most efficient way to tackle the distribution of its broad range of patient and professional products is by partnering with entities that have either direct access to the end users or a desire and financial wherewithal to leverage the NovaVision therapy platform. As a result, the Company has now closed the NovaVision German office and is entering into a license agreement with HelferApp, a cognitive therapy specialist, for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and is seeking similar partnerships in other territories with regional companies able to leverage NovaVision’s clinically supported vision therapies. Management is also open to a broad range of alternatives for NovaVision as a whole, which could comprise distribution and marketing partnerships, licensing, merger or sale.

However, the Company believes it may not have sufficient cash to meet its various cash needs through August 31,November 30, 2021 unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Included within the working capital deficiency above is a term note for $300,000 to EuroAmerican Investment Corp. (“EuroAmerican”), together with accrued interest of $304,699,$316,798, which has a maturity date of December 31, 2020, having been extended on a number of occasions from its initial due date of June 11, 2011. At this time, it is not known whether any further extension of the note beyond December 31, 2020 will be available. Fountainhead, the Company’s largest shareholder, has provided working capital funding to the Company on an as-needed basis, although there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case. The Company may consider seeking additional equity or debt funding, although there is no assurance that this would be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay or curtail development or commercialization of products, or cease some of its operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

 

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management’s estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include management’s estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, amortization of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrant included in the determination of debt discounts and stock-based compensation.

 

A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports its files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and its CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
