BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim consolidated financial statements of CytoSorbents Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2022. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year, any other interim periods or any future year or period. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances were approximately $44.7 million, which the Company expects will fund the Company’s operations beyond twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. As a result, the Company has determined that the going concern risk has been substantially mitigated. |

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business The Company is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in intensive care and cardiac surgery using blood purification. The Company, through its subsidiary CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. (formerly known as CytoSorbents, Inc.), is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of medical devices with its blood purification technology platform which incorporates a proprietary adsorbent, porous polymer technology. The Company, through its wholly owned European subsidiary, CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, conducts sales and marketing related operations for the CytoSorb device. In March 2016, the Company formed CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the second quarter of 2016, provides marketing and direct sales services in Switzerland. In November 2018, the Company formed CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the first quarter of 2019, provides marketing and direct sales services in Poland. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company formed CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. which is responsible for the management of the Company’s clinical trial activities in the United Kingdom. In March 2022, the Company formed CytoSorbents Medical UK Limited to provide marketing and direct sales services in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. CytoSorb, the Company's flagship product, was approved in the European Union (“EU”) in March 2011 and is currently being marketed and distributed in more than 70 countries around the world, as an effective extracorporeal cytokine absorber, designed to reduce the “cytokine storm” or “cytokine release syndrome” seen in critical illnesses that may result in massive inflammation, organ failure, and patient death. In May 2018, the Company received a label extension for CytoSorb covering use of the device for the removal of bilirubin and myoglobin which allows for the use of the device in the treatment of liver failure and trauma, respectively. CytoSorb is also being used during and after cardiac surgery to remove inflammatory mediators that can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. In January 2020, CytoSorb received EU CE Mark label expansion to include the removal of ticagrelor during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. In May 2020, CytoSorb also received EU CE Mark label expansion to include rivaroxaban removal for the same indication. In April 2020, CytoSorb received United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) of CytoSorb for use in adult critically-ill COVID-19 patients with imminent or confirmed respiratory failure. The CytoSorb device has neither been cleared nor approved for the indication to treat patients with COVID-19 infection. The EUA will be effective until a declaration is made that the circumstances justifying the EUA have terminated or until revoked by the FDA. In April 2020, the Company also announced that the FDA had granted Breakthrough Designation for its DrugSorb-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System for the removal of ticagrelor in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during emergent and urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Breakthrough Devices Program provides for more effective treatment of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating disease or conditions, in this case the need to reverse the effects of ticagrelor in emergent or urgent cardiac surgery that can otherwise cause a high risk of serious or life-threatening bleeding. Through Breakthrough Designation, the FDA intends to work with CytoSorbents to expedite the development, assessment, and regulatory review of CytoSorbents’ technology for the removal of ticagrelor, while maintaining statutory standards of regulatory approval (e.g., 510(k), de novo In August 2021, the Company announced that it was granted a second Breakthrough Device designation for its DrugSorb-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This Breakthrough Device designation covers the removal of the Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) apixaban and rivaroxaban in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit to reduce the likelihood of serious perioperative bleeding during urgent cardiothoracic surgery. In October 2021, the Company also received full FDA approval of an IDE application to conduct a double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical study for up to 120 patients entitled, “Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal – Direct Oral Anticoagulants (STAR-D),” in the United States to support FDA marketing approval. If FDA marketing approval is obtained for either the removal of ticagrelor or direct oral anticoagulants indications, the device would be marketed as DrugSorb-ATR in the United States. The DrugSorb-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System is based on the same polymer technology as CytoSorb. The technology is based upon biocompatible, highly porous polymer sorbent beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. The Company has numerous products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology, which is protected by 21 issued U.S. patents and multiple international patents, with applications pending both in the U.S. and internationally, including HemoDefend, ContrastSorb, DrugSorb, DrugSorb-ATR and others. These patents and patent applications are directed to various compositions and methods of use related to the Company’s blood purification technologies and are expected to expire between 2022 and 2038, absent any patent term extensions. Management believes that any near-term expiring patents will not have a significant impact on the Company’s ongoing business. Stock Market Listing On December 17, 2014 the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), and it began trading on Nasdaq on December 23, 2014 under the symbol “CTSO.” Previously, the Company’s common stock traded in the over-the-counter-market on the OTC Bulletin Board. Basis of Consolidation and Foreign Currency Translation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CytoSorbents Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. and CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o. and CytoSorbents Medical UK Limited, wholly owned subsidiaries of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, and CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Translation gains and losses resulting from the process of remeasuring into the United States Dollar, the foreign currency financial statements of the European subsidiary are included in operations. The Euro is the functional currency of the European Subsidiary. Foreign currency transaction loss included in net loss amounted to approximately $(1,213,000) and $(1,306,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company translates assets and liabilities of all of its foreign subsidiaries at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. The Company translates revenue and expenses at the daily average exchange rates. The Company includes accumulated net translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts shown in the consolidated balance sheets: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 43,022,814 $ 52,137,707 Restricted cash 1,687,459 1,687,459 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 44,710,273 $ 53,825,166 Restricted Cash The Company’s total restricted cash in the amount of $1,687,459 consists of cash of $1,467,459 that the Company is obligated to maintain as collateral for the outstanding letter of credit with Bridge Bank that was provided to the landlord of the College Road facility as security and cash of $220,000 that the Company is obligated to maintain as collateral for the credit limit on the Company’s credit card accounts. Grants and Accounts Receivable Grants receivable represent amounts due from U.S. government agencies and are included in Grants and Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are unsecured, non-interest bearing customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its devices to various hospitals and distributors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to determine collectability. Balances that are determined to be uncollectible are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $67,000 and $61,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value under the first in, first out (FIFO) method. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s inventory was comprised of finished goods, which amounted to $3,363,744 and $3,084,606, respectively; work in process which amounted to $1,638,447 and $1,322,736, respectively; and raw materials, which amounted to $443,308 and $358,756, respectively. Devices used in clinical trials or for research and development purposes are removed from inventory and charged to research and development expenses at the time of their use. Donated devices are removed from inventory and charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their economic useful lives or the term of the related leases. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. Patents Legal costs incurred to establish and successfully defend patents are capitalized. When patents are issued, capitalized costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the related patent term. In the event a patent is abandoned, the net book value of the patent is written off. Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the impairment of patents and other long-lived assets under accounting standards for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $306,000 related to certain patent costs. This charge is included in legal, financial and other consulting in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Revenue Recognition Product Sales Grant Revenue Research and Development All research and development costs, payments to laboratories and research consultants are expensed when incurred. Advertising Expenses Advertising expenses are charged to activities when incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $81,000 and $154,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by accounting standards for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the net operating losses generated prior to the previously completed reverse merger may be limited due to the change in ownership. Additionally, net operating losses generated subsequent to the reverse merger may be limited in the event of changes in ownership. The Company follows accounting standards associated with uncertain tax positions. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. The Company utilizes the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell a portion of its New Jersey Net Operating Loss carryforwards to an industrial company. Each of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, CytoSorbents Poland Sp. Z.o.o. and CytoSorbents UK Limited files an annual corporate tax return, VAT return and a trade tax return in Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the United Kingdom, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The valuation of options granted is a significant estimate in these consolidated financial statements. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions in an effort to minimize its collection risk of these balances. A significant portion of the Company's revenues are from product sales in Germany. Substantially all of the Compnay's grant and other income are from government agencies in the United States. (See Note 4 for further information relating to the Company’s revenue.) As of March 31, 2022, one distributor accounted for approximately 22% of outstanding grants and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, one distributor accounted for approximately 12% of outstanding grants and accounts receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, no distributor accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenue and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, one distributor accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's total revenue. Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Net Loss Per Common Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share are computed using the treasury stock method on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and restricted shares. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (see Note 8). Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the recognition requirements of accounting standards for accounting for stock-based compensation, for employees and directors whereby each option granted is valued at fair market value on the date of grant. Under these accounting standards, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company also follows the guidance of accounting standards for accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services for equity instruments issued to consultants. Shipping and Handling Costs The cost of shipping product to customers and distributors is typically borne by the customer or distributor. The Company records other shipping and handling costs in cost of revenue. Total freight costs amounted to approximately $68,000 and $63,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance”. ASU 2021-10 will require enhanced disclosures related to the Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company intends to implement the provisions of ASU 2021-10 during 2022. |

The following is a brief description of each revenue stream. CytoSorb Sales The Company sells its CytoSorb device using both its own sales force (direct sales) and through the use of distributors and/or strategic partners. The majority of sales of the device are outside the United States, as CytoSorb is not yet approved for commercial sale in the United States. However, in April 2020, the Company was granted U.S. Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) of CytoSorb for use in critically-ill patients infected with COVID-19 with imminent or confirmed respiratory failure by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Direct sales outside the United States relate to sales to hospitals located in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Direct sales are fulfilled from the Company's warehouse facility in Berlin, Germany. There are no formal sales contracts with any direct customers relating to product price or minimum purchase requirements. However, there are agreements in place with certain direct customers that provide for either free of charge product or rebate credits based upon achieving minimum purchase levels. The Company records the value of these items earned as a reduction of revenue. These customers submit purchase orders and the order is fulfilled and shipped directly to the customer. Prices to all direct customers are based on a standard price list based on the packaged quantity (6 packs versus 12 packs). Distributor and strategic partner sales make up the remaining product sales. These distributors are located in various countries throughout the world. The Company has a formal written contract with each distributor/strategic partner. These contracts have terms ranging from 1-5 years in length, with three years being the typical term. In addition, certain distributors are eligible for volume discount pricing if their unit sales are in excess of the base amount in the contract. Most distributor's/strategic partner's contracts have minimum annual purchase requirements in order to maintain exclusivity in their respective territories. There is no additional consideration or monetary penalty that would be required to be paid to CytoSorbents if a distributor does not meet the minimum purchase commitments included in the contract, however, at the discretion of the Company, the distributor may lose its exclusive rights in the territory if such commitments are not met. Government Grants The Company has been the recipient of various grant contracts from various agencies of the United States government, primarily the Department of Defense, to perform various research and development activities. These contracts fall into one of the following categories: 1. Fixed price – the Company invoices the contract amount in equal installments over the term of the contract without regard to the timing of the costs incurred related to this contract. If billings on fixed price contracts exceed the costs incurred, revenue will be deferred to the extent of the excess billings. 2. Cost reimbursement – the Company submits monthly invoices during the term of the contract for the amount of direct costs incurred during that month plus an agreed upon percentage that relates to allowable overhead and general and administrative expenses. Cumulative amounts invoiced may not exceed the maximum amount of funding stipulated in the contract. 3. Cost plus – this type of contract is similar to a cost reimbursement contract but this type also allows for the Company to additionally invoice for a fee amount that is included in the contract. 4. Performance based – the Company submits invoices only upon the achievement of the milestones listed in the contract. The amount to be invoiced for each milestone is documented in the contract. In summary, the contracts the Company has with customers are the distributor/strategic partner contracts related to CytoSorb product sales, agreements with direct customers related to free-of-charge product and credit rebates based upon achieving minimum purchase levels, and contracts with various government agencies related to the Company’s grants. The Company does not currently incur any outside/third party incremental costs to obtain any of these contracts. The Company does incur internal costs, primarily salary related costs, to obtain the contracts related to the grants. Company employees spend time reviewing the program requirements and developing the budget and related proposal to submit to the grantor agency. There may additionally be travel expenditures involved with meeting with government agency officials during the negotiation of the contract. These internal costs are expensed as incurred. The following table provides information about receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Receivables, which are included in grants and accounts receivable $ 3,152,256 $ 3,000,708 Contract liabilities, which are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 2,435,452 $ 2,251,177 Contract receivables represent balances due from sales to distributors and amounts invoiced on grant contracts. Contract liabilities represent the value of free of charge goods and credit rebates earned in accordance with the terms of certain direct customer agreements, which amounted to $259,543 and $303,824 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and deferred grant revenue related to the billing on fixed price contracts in excess of costs incurred , which amounted to $2,175,909 and $1,947,353 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. |

(together, the “Borrower”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank, (the “Bank”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed $10 million in two equal tranches of $5 million (the “Original Term Loans”). On March 29, 2018, the Original Term Loans were refinanced with the Bank pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between the Bank and the Borrower (the “Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), under which the Bank agreed to loan the Borrower up to an aggregate of $15 million to be disbursed in two tranches (1) one tranche of $10 million (the “Term A Loan”), which was funded on the Closing Date and used to refinance the Original Term Loans, and (2) a second tranche of $5 million which may be disbursed at the Borrower’s sole request prior to March 31, 2019 provided certain conditions are met (the “Term B Loan” and together with the Term A Loan, the “Term Loans”). On July 31, 2019, the Borrower entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Bank, which amended certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement and the 2018 Success Fee Letter (the “2018 Letter”).

The proceeds of Term Loans were used for general business requirements in accordance with the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. On December 4, 2020 (the “Third Amendment Closing Date”), the Company closed on the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) of its Amended Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance of its existing $15 million term loans and simultaneously received a commitment from Bridge Bank to provide a new term loan of $15 million, if needed. On January 19, 2022 (the "Fourth Amendment Closing Date"), the Company closed on the Fourth Amendment (the "Fourth Amendment") of its Amended Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company received a commitment from Bridge Bank to provide a new term loan of up to $15 million, if needed. The Fourth Amendment provides a tranche of term loans (the “Term C Loans") in the aggregate amount of $15 million, which are available for the Company to draw down at its sole discretion in three tranches of $5 million each at any time during the period commencing on the Fourth Amendment Date and ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2022 and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended Loan and Security Agreement). The Term C Loans, if taken, shall bear interest at the Index Rate (defined in the Amendment as the greater of 3.25% or the Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal on the last business date of the month immediately preceding the month in which the interest will accrue) plus 1.25%. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, interest on the Term C Loans is subject to an interest rate cap of 8.00%. The Fourth Amendment, together with the Amended Loan and Security Agreement, provides for a period of interest only payments on the Term C Loan until the amortization date, which is January 1, 2024. The interest-only period may be further extended through July 2024 if the Company maintains compliance with certain conditions as outlined in the Fourth Amendment. Following the interest-only period, the Company will be required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest until maturity of the Term C Loans. The maturity date of the Term C Loan is December 1, 2025. On the Fourth Amendment Closing Date, the Company was required to pay a non-refundable closing fee of approximately $18,750, which will amortized as a monthly charge to interest expense. On the Third Amendment Closing Date, the Company paid a non-refundable closing fee of $75,000, which was amortized and written off as a charge to interest expense. In addition, the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement requires the Company to pay a non-refundable final fee equal to 2.5% of the principal amount of the Term Loan funded upon the earlier of the (i) the maturity date or (ii) termination of the Term Loan via acceleration or prepayment. The Company’s and CytoSorbents Medical, Inc.’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement are joint and severable and are secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the Bank with respect to the Company’s Shares (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) and the Borrower’s Collateral (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which definition excludes the Borrower’s intellectual property and other customary exceptions). 2018 Success Fee Letter: Pursuant to the amended 2018 Letter, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a success fee in the amount equal to 6.37% of the funded amount of the Term B Loan (as defined in the Restated Loan and Security Agreement) (the “Success Fee”) upon the first occurrence of any of the following events: (a) a sale or other disposition by the Borrower of all or substantially all of its assets; (b) a merger or consolidation of the Borrower into or with another person or entity, where the holders of the Borrower’s outstanding voting equity securities as of immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than a majority of the issued and outstanding voting equity securities of the successor or surviving person or entity as of immediately following the consummation of such merger or consolidation; (c) a transaction or a series of related transactions in which any “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of a sufficient number of shares of all classes of stock then outstanding of the Borrower ordinarily entitled to vote in the election of directors, empowering such “person” or “group” to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of the Borrower, who did not have such power before such transaction; or (d) the closing price per share for the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market being the greater of (i) 70% or more over $7.05, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 29, 2018 (after giving effect to any stock splits or consolidations effected after the date thereof) for five 2022 Success Fee Letter: Pursuant to the 2022 Success Fee Letter, the Borrower will pay to the Bank a success fee equal to (i) 1% of $5 million if the Company draws down the first tranche of the Term C Loan and is payable only if the Company’s stock price equals or exceeds $8 for five five five |

In March 2021, CytoSorbents Medical Inc. entered into a lease agreement for a new operating facility at 305 College Road East, Princeton, New Jersey, which contains office, laboratory, manufacturing and warehouse space. The lease commenced on June 1, 2021. The Early Term commenced on June 1, 2021 and lasted until September 30, 2021. The lease also contains two five-year renewal options; however, the Company has determined that it is not likely that they will exercise these options. Commencing on September 30, 2021, the remaining lease term will last for 15.5 years. The lease requires monthly rental payments of $25,208 for the Initial Early Term, $88,254 for the Early Term and initial monthly payments of approximately $111,171 in the first year of the remaining term. Following the first year of the remaining term, the annual base rent will increase by approximately 2.75% annually over the remaining term. The lease also contains six months of rent abatement (months 1, 2, 3, 25, 26 and 27 of the remaining lease term). In addition to the base rent, payments of operating expenses and real estate taxes will be required. These payments are to be based on actual amounts incurred during 2021 multiplied by the Company’s share of the total building space (92.3%). The landlord will also provide an allowance of approximately $1,455,000 related to certain building improvements as outlined in the lease. In April 2021, the Company provided the landlord with a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $1,334,000 as security. The Company has determined that this lease should be treated as an operating lease in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842. On April 1, 2021, the Company recorded a Right of Use asset and related lease liability In April 2021, the Company entered into a Twentieth Amendment to Lease with the landlord at the existing Monmouth Junction facility which became effective May 31, 2021. This amendment extends the term of the lease for the Company’s existing facility to May 31, 2022. The Company’s base rent is approximately $35,000 per month. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay monthly operating expenses of approximately $30,000 per month. Under the terms of this amendment, the Company will vacate a portion of the space as of May 31, 2022. The Company will continue to lease the remaining space until December 31, 2022, at which time the Company will vacate the remaining space and the lease will terminate. The Company’s base rent for the remaining space will be approximately $20,000 per month. Monthly operating expenses will be approximately $11,000 per month. In addition, the Company agreed to increase its security deposit by approximately $54,000 to a total of $150,000. At the end of the lease term, the entire security deposit will be paid to the landlord for the purpose of making any needed repairs to the vacated premises, and the Company will have no further obligation to pay for repairs to the vacated premises. Effective April 1, 2021, the Company adjusted its incremental borrowing rate to the incremental borrowing rate used in the College Road lease and recalculated the right of use asset and lease liability under the amended terms of this lease. In addition, the Company also adjusted the incremental borrowing rate and related right of use asset and lease liability on the existing Germany office lease effective April 1, 2021. In September 2021, the Company extended its two operating leases for its office facility in Germany. These leases require combined base rent payments amounting to approximately $12,100 per month. The initial lease term of both leases ends August 31, 2026. In addition, the Company is obligated to monthly operating expenses of approximately $3,000 per month. Both leases have a five-year option to renew that would extend the lease term to August 31, 2031. There are no provisions in the leases to increase the base rent during the renewal period. There were no lease incentives and no initial direct costs were incurred related to these leases. In January 2021, CytoSorbents Europe GmbH entered into a lease for 1,068 square meters of additional warehouse space. The lease commenced on April 1, 2021 and requires monthly payments of base rent of $7,784 and other costs of approximately $239 and has a term of five years. The lease also has an option to extend liability Right-Of-Use Asset and Lease Liability: The Company's consolidated balance sheets reflect the value of the right-of-use asset and related lease liability. This value was calculated based on the present value of the remaining base rent lease payments. The remaining lease payments include the renewal periods for both facilities as the Company has determined that it is probable that the renewal options will be exercised under each of the lease agreements. The discount rate used was the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is 9.8%, as the Company could not determine the rate implicit in the lease. As a result, the value of the right-of- use asset and related lease liability is as follows: March 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Right-of-use asset $ 13,196,795 $ 13,423,472 Total lease liability $ 13,659,352 $ 13,821,509 Less current portion (486,964) (570,566) Lease liability, net of current portion $ 13,172,388 $ 13,250,943 The maturities of the lease liabilities are as follows as of March 31, 2022: 2022 $ 1,799,764 2023 1,275,860 2024 1,666,361 2025 1,705,625 2026 1,745,970 Thereafter 18,567,617 Total lease payments 26,761,197 Present value discount 13,101,845 Total $ 13,659,352 For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, operating cash flows paid in connection with operating leases amounted to approximately $712,765 and $230,865, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term was 13.5 years and 14.3 years, respectively. |

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Nature of Business | Nature of Business The Company is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in intensive care and cardiac surgery using blood purification. The Company, through its subsidiary CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. (formerly known as CytoSorbents, Inc.), is engaged in the research, development and commercialization of medical devices with its blood purification technology platform which incorporates a proprietary adsorbent, porous polymer technology. The Company, through its wholly owned European subsidiary, CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, conducts sales and marketing related operations for the CytoSorb device. In March 2016, the Company formed CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the second quarter of 2016, provides marketing and direct sales services in Switzerland. In November 2018, the Company formed CytoSorbents Poland Sp. z.o.o., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH. This subsidiary, which began operations during the first quarter of 2019, provides marketing and direct sales services in Poland. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company formed CytoSorbents UK Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CytoSorbents Medical, Inc. which is responsible for the management of the Company’s clinical trial activities in the United Kingdom. In March 2022, the Company formed CytoSorbents Medical UK Limited to provide marketing and direct sales services in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. CytoSorb, the Company's flagship product, was approved in the European Union (“EU”) in March 2011 and is currently being marketed and distributed in more than 70 countries around the world, as an effective extracorporeal cytokine absorber, designed to reduce the “cytokine storm” or “cytokine release syndrome” seen in critical illnesses that may result in massive inflammation, organ failure, and patient death. In May 2018, the Company received a label extension for CytoSorb covering use of the device for the removal of bilirubin and myoglobin which allows for the use of the device in the treatment of liver failure and trauma, respectively. CytoSorb is also being used during and after cardiac surgery to remove inflammatory mediators that can lead to post-operative complications, including multiple organ failure. In January 2020, CytoSorb received EU CE Mark label expansion to include the removal of ticagrelor during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. In May 2020, CytoSorb also received EU CE Mark label expansion to include rivaroxaban removal for the same indication. In April 2020, CytoSorb received United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”) of CytoSorb for use in adult critically-ill COVID-19 patients with imminent or confirmed respiratory failure. The CytoSorb device has neither been cleared nor approved for the indication to treat patients with COVID-19 infection. The EUA will be effective until a declaration is made that the circumstances justifying the EUA have terminated or until revoked by the FDA. In April 2020, the Company also announced that the FDA had granted Breakthrough Designation for its DrugSorb-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System for the removal of ticagrelor in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during emergent and urgent cardiothoracic surgery. The Breakthrough Devices Program provides for more effective treatment of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating disease or conditions, in this case the need to reverse the effects of ticagrelor in emergent or urgent cardiac surgery that can otherwise cause a high risk of serious or life-threatening bleeding. Through Breakthrough Designation, the FDA intends to work with CytoSorbents to expedite the development, assessment, and regulatory review of CytoSorbents’ technology for the removal of ticagrelor, while maintaining statutory standards of regulatory approval (e.g., 510(k), de novo In August 2021, the Company announced that it was granted a second Breakthrough Device designation for its DrugSorb-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This Breakthrough Device designation covers the removal of the Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) apixaban and rivaroxaban in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit to reduce the likelihood of serious perioperative bleeding during urgent cardiothoracic surgery. In October 2021, the Company also received full FDA approval of an IDE application to conduct a double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical study for up to 120 patients entitled, “Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal – Direct Oral Anticoagulants (STAR-D),” in the United States to support FDA marketing approval. If FDA marketing approval is obtained for either the removal of ticagrelor or direct oral anticoagulants indications, the device would be marketed as DrugSorb-ATR in the United States. The DrugSorb-ATR Antithrombotic Removal System is based on the same polymer technology as CytoSorb. The technology is based upon biocompatible, highly porous polymer sorbent beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. The Company has numerous products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology, which is protected by 21 issued U.S. patents and multiple international patents, with applications pending both in the U.S. and internationally, including HemoDefend, ContrastSorb, DrugSorb, DrugSorb-ATR and others. These patents and patent applications are directed to various compositions and methods of use related to the Company’s blood purification technologies and are expected to expire between 2022 and 2038, absent any patent term extensions. Management believes that any near-term expiring patents will not have a significant impact on the Company’s ongoing business. |
Stock Market Listing | Stock Market Listing On December 17, 2014 the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), and it began trading on Nasdaq on December 23, 2014 under the symbol “CTSO.” Previously, the Company’s common stock traded in the over-the-counter-market on the OTC Bulletin Board. |

The Company translates revenue and expenses at the daily average exchange rates. The Company includes accumulated net translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts shown in the consolidated balance sheets: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 43,022,814 $ 52,137,707 Restricted cash 1,687,459 1,687,459 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 44,710,273 $ 53,825,166 |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company’s total restricted cash in the amount of $1,687,459 consists of cash of $1,467,459 that the Company is obligated to maintain as collateral for the outstanding letter of credit with Bridge Bank that was provided to the landlord of the College Road facility as security and cash of $220,000 that the Company is obligated to maintain as collateral for the credit limit on the Company’s credit card accounts. |
Grants and Accounts Receivable | Grants and Accounts Receivable Grants receivable represent amounts due from U.S. government agencies and are included in Grants and Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are unsecured, non-interest bearing customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its devices to various hospitals and distributors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically to determine collectability. Balances that are determined to be uncollectible are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $67,000 and $61,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value under the first in, first out (FIFO) method. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s inventory was comprised of finished goods, which amounted to $3,363,744 and $3,084,606, respectively; work in process which amounted to $1,638,447 and $1,322,736, respectively; and raw materials, which amounted to $443,308 and $358,756, respectively. Devices used in clinical trials or for research and development purposes are removed from inventory and charged to research and development expenses at the time of their use. Donated devices are removed from inventory and charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their economic useful lives or the term of the related leases. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. |
Patents | Patents Legal costs incurred to establish and successfully defend patents are capitalized. When patents are issued, capitalized costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the related patent term. In the event a patent is abandoned, the net book value of the patent is written off. |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the impairment of patents and other long-lived assets under accounting standards for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $306,000 related to certain patent costs. This charge is included in legal, financial and other consulting in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Product Sales Grant Revenue |
Research and Development | Research and Development All research and development costs, payments to laboratories and research consultants are expensed when incurred. |
Advertising Expenses | Advertising Expenses Advertising expenses are charged to activities when incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $81,000 and $154,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by accounting standards for accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the net operating losses generated prior to the previously completed reverse merger may be limited due to the change in ownership. Additionally, net operating losses generated subsequent to the reverse merger may be limited in the event of changes in ownership. The Company follows accounting standards associated with uncertain tax positions. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. The Company utilizes the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program to sell a portion of its New Jersey Net Operating Loss carryforwards to an industrial company. Each of CytoSorbents Europe GmbH, CytoSorbents Switzerland GmbH, CytoSorbents Poland Sp. Z.o.o. and CytoSorbents UK Limited files an annual corporate tax return, VAT return and a trade tax return in Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the United Kingdom, respectively. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The valuation of options granted is a significant estimate in these consolidated financial statements. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions in an effort to minimize its collection risk of these balances. A significant portion of the Company's revenues are from product sales in Germany. Substantially all of the Compnay's grant and other income are from government agencies in the United States. (See Note 4 for further information relating to the Company’s revenue.) As of March 31, 2022, one distributor accounted for approximately 22% of outstanding grants and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, one distributor accounted for approximately 12% of outstanding grants and accounts receivables. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, no distributor accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenue and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, one distributor accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's total revenue. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. |
Net Loss Per Common Share | Net Loss Per Common Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share are computed using the treasury stock method on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and restricted shares. The computation of diluted loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (see Note 8). |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the recognition requirements of accounting standards for accounting for stock-based compensation, for employees and directors whereby each option granted is valued at fair market value on the date of grant. Under these accounting standards, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company also follows the guidance of accounting standards for accounting for equity instruments that are issued to other than employees for acquiring, or in conjunction with selling, goods or services for equity instruments issued to consultants. |
Shipping and Handling Costs | Shipping and Handling Costs The cost of shipping product to customers and distributors is typically borne by the customer or distributor. The Company records other shipping and handling costs in cost of revenue. Total freight costs amounted to approximately $68,000 and $63,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. |
Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance”. ASU 2021-10 will require enhanced disclosures related to the Company’s contracts with the U.S. Government. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company intends to implement the provisions of ASU 2021-10 during 2022. |
