Business and Basis of Presentation | Business and Basis of Presentation Our Business-An Overview NeuroMetrix, Inc. (the Company) develops and commercializes health care products that utilize non-invasive neurostimulation. Revenues are derived from the sale of medical devices and after-market consumable products and accessories. The Company’s products are sold in the United States and select overseas markets. They are cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and regulators in foreign jurisdictions where appropriate. The Company has two primary products. DPNCheck® is a point-of-care test for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which is the most common long-term complication of Type 2 diabetes. Quell is an app-enabled, over-the-counter wearable device for chronic pain. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has reported recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities. At March 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $196.9 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the one-year period from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million as of March 31, 2021. The Company believes that these resources and the cash to be generated from future product sales will be sufficient to meet its projected operating requirements through the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the Company may need to raise additional funds to support its operating and capital needs in the second quarter of 2022 and beyond. The Company continues to face significant challenges and uncertainties and, as a result, the Company’s available capital resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently expected due to (a) decreases in sales of the Company’s products related to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, and the uncertainty of future revenues from new products; (b) the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's ability to obtain parts and materials from suppliers while continuing to staff critical production and fulfillment functions; (c) changes the Company may make to the business that affect ongoing operating expenses; (d) changes the Company may make in its business strategy; (e) regulatory developments affecting the Company’s existing products; (f) changes the Company may make in its research and development spending plans; and (g) other items affecting the Company’s forecasted level of expenditures and use of cash resources. The Company may attempt to obtain additional funding from public or private financing, collaborative arrangements with strategic partners, divestiture of assets or through credit lines or other debt financing sources to increase the funds available to fund operations. However, the Company may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. Furthermore, if the Company issues equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, its existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company’s existing stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to its potential products or to proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to the Company. Without additional funds, the Company may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some of its sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, or other operations and potentially delay product development in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue its operations. If any of these events occurs, the Company’s ability to achieve its development and commercialization goals would be adversely affected. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, unaudited statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements prepared at that date but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any other period. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on January 29, 2021 (File No. 001-33351). Revenues Revenues include product sales, net of estimated returns. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for product transferred. Revenue is recognized when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied and control of the product has been transferred to the customer. In most cases, the Company has a single product delivery performance obligation. Accrued product returns are estimated based on historical data and evaluation of current information. Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses based on customer past payment history, product usage activity, and recent communications with the customer. Individual customer balances which are over 90 days past due are reviewed individually for collectability and written-off when recovery is not probable. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $25,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. One customer accounted for 36% of total revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and two customers accounted for 36% of total revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. One customer accounted for 33% and two customers accounted for 50% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Stock-based Compensation Total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized at March 31, 2021 was $170,683. The total compensation costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
