Liquidity and Management’s Plans | (2) Liquidity and Management’s Plans The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company currently does not generate revenue sufficient to offset operating costs and anticipates such shortfalls to continue in the short-term to the next eighteen months. The Company’s history of operating losses and limited cash resources and lack of certainty regarding obtaining significant third-party reimbursement of its products, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2020 the Company had net negative working capital of approximately $3.8 million. The Company’s principal source of liquidity as of June 30, 2020 consisted of approximately $1.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and $2.9 million of accounts receivable. The Company’s anticipated operations include plans to (i) continue to integrate the sales and operations of the Company with the Lap-Band product line, (ii) continue development of the ReShape Vest, (iii) seek opportunities to leverage the Company’s intellectual property portfolio and custom development services to provide third-party sales and licensing opportunities, and (iv) explore and capitalize on synergistic opportunities to expand our portfolio and offer future minimally invasive treatments and therapies in the obesity continuum of care. The Company believes that it has the flexibility to manage the growth of its expenditures and operations depending on the amount of available cash flows, which could include reducing expenditures for marketing, clinical and product development activities. However, the Company will ultimately need to achieve sufficient revenues from product sales and obtain additional equity or debt financing to support its operations. Management is currently pursuing various funding options, including seeking additional equity or debt financing as well as a strategic merger or other transaction to obtain additional funding to support the expansion of Lap-Band product sales and to continue the development of, and to successfully commercialize, the ReShape Vest. While the acquisition of the Lap-Band product line does provide incremental revenues and cash flows to the Company, total expenses, including the cost to support the clinical trials of the ReShape Vest, are expected to exceed internally generated cash flows for the foreseeable future. While there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts, the Company has a long history of raising equity financing to fund its development activities. Should the Company be unable to obtain adequate financing in the near term, the Company’s business, result of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and negatively affected, and the Company would be unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, there can be no assurance that, assuming the Company is able to strengthen its cash position, it will achieve sufficient revenue or profitable operations to continue as a going concern. COVID-19 Risk and Uncertainties and CARES Act Additionally, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to the coronavirus outbreak. This outbreak has severely impacted global economic activity, and many countries and many states in the United States have reacted to the outbreak by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. These mandated business closures have at times included the cessation of non-elective surgeries in Australia, Europe and the United States for all but emergency procedures. As a result of these mandates, on April 16, 2020, the Company implemented various short-term cost reductions and cash flow improvement actions, such as reducing the compensation for executives, management and key employees and decreasing operating expenses where possible. In addition, the Company also identified temporary headcount reductions and made the decision to furlough a portion of its workforce. During the second quarter of 2020, the mandated closures began to ease in many areas throughout the world and within the United States. As a result of this, elective surgeries started back up again through various parts of the world, which led to improved sales progressing through the second quarter. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may continue to experience materially adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operation. Additionally, on June 15, 2020, the Company ended the temporary pay reductions and the furloughed employees returned to work. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve and it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce and has taken actions to mitigate the impact including among other things, temporary reductions in pay, and furloughs of certain positions along with deferrals in payment for cash preservation. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020. On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. Provided under the CARES Act is the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which the Company received a PPP loan, for further details see Note 5 below. We continue to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on our business and the PPP loan. |
