| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 3 Months Ended |
| Mar. 31, 2022 |
| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
| Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022. |
| Principles of Consolidation | The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avenir Wellness Solutions, Inc. formerly known as CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. (“CPHC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CURE Pharmaceutical, CHI, and Sera Labs, collectively referred to as (“CURE”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The development and production of the Company’s branded health, wellness, and beauty products in both the wellness and pharmaceutical industries represents the principal operations of the Company. Business acquisitions are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. |
| Going Concern and Management's Liquidity Plans | In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) standard on going concern, Accounting Standard Update, or ASU No. 2014-15, The Company assesses going concern uncertainty in its consolidated financial statements to determine if it has sufficient cash, cash equivalents and working capital on hand, including marketable equity securities, and any available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period” as defined by ASU No. 2014-15. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to The Company, it will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, and its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, The Company makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent The Company deems probable those implementations can be achieved and it has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $99.6 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $22.8 million. Our operating activities consume the majority of our cash resources. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future, as we execute our commercialization and development plans and strategic and business development initiatives. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $0.5 million of cash on hand. We have previously funded, and intend to continue funding, our losses primarily through the issuance of common stock and/or promissory notes, combined with or without warrants, and cash generated from our product sales and research and development and license agreements. We are currently discussing various financing alternatives with potential investors, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to us or will be enough to fully sustain operations. We believe the funds available through these potential financings will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements during the coming year. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to develop and implement a plan to extend payables, reduce expenditures, or scale back our business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |
| Reclassifications | Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s consolidated financial statements to enhance comparability with the current year’s consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss. |
| Restatement | During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company became aware of an error in the calculation of its weighted average common shares outstanding and resultant reported loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The reported weighted average common shares outstanding and loss per share was 50,829,729 and ($0.10), respectively. The corrected weighted average shares outstanding and loss per share was 68,849,400 and ($0.07), respectively. Based on an initial analysis of ASC 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” and Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 “Materiality,” the Company determined that the error was immaterial to the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and that the correction and disclosure of the error in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 was adequate. The Company has since determined that the errors in its previously reported earnings per share are material and is thus restating the impacted financial statements. |
| Use of Estimates | The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 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 the reported period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, depreciative and amortization useful lives, assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the contingent share consideration, stock based compensation, beneficial conversion features, warrant values, deferred taxes and the assumptions used to calculate derivative liabilities and fair values of the purchase price allocations and convertible promissory notes. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At March 31, 2022 had $0.3 million in excess of the federal insurance limit. At December 31, 2021, the Company did not have in excess of the federal insurance limit. |
| Investment in Associates | The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 325-20, Cost Method Investments From November 1, 2019 to February 13, 2020, the Company purchased Convertible Loans (“Loans”) from Releaf Europe BV (“Releaf”) in the amount of $0.5 million. Relief shall accrue interest on the Loans at 6% per annum and shall become due and payable to the Company at the earlier of the conversion date, the date when the Loans are repaid or at the maturity date of October 31, 2021 (“Maturity Date”). In the event of a request for conversion by the Company (“Request for Conversion”) or at the end of the Maturity Date, the outstanding amount of the Loans and any unpaid accrued interest shall be converted into shares of Relief (“Shares”) based on a price per share on a post money valuation of $10.9 million. In the event Releaf completes a financing round totaling at least $2 million of debt and/or equity (“Qualified Financing”), the outstanding amount of the Loan Agreement and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert at a price per share paid by the investors in connection with the Qualified Financing less a discount of 20% on the subscription price. In addition, both the Company and Releaf agree in the event the pre-money valuation of the Qualified Financing is higher than $15 million, the conversion shall be calculated with a cap of pre-money valuation of $14.5 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an investment using the cost method of accounting in Releaf and recorded accrued interest relating to these Loans as well as a reserve on investment. As of the filing date of this report, the Company has not extended or received Shares as per the term of the agreement, but are in discussions with Releaf regarding the terms of conversion of the Loans. |
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Company closely monitors accounts receivable balances and estimates the allowance for credit losses. These estimates are based on historical collection experience and other factors, including those related to current market conditions and events. The Company’s allowances for accounts receivable have not historically been material. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 management determined that an allowance of $0.08 million and $0.08 million, respectively, were necessary. |
| Inventory | Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV is the amount by which the estimated selling price of the product exceeds the sum of any additional costs expected to be incurred on the sale of such product in the ordinary course of business. The Company determines the cost of its inventory, which includes amounts related to materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period. In order to state the inventory at the lower of cost or NRV, we maintain reserves against individual stocking units. Inventory reserves, once established, are not reversed until the related inventories have been sold or scrapped. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than our projections, a write-down of inventory may be required, and would be reflected in cost of product revenues sold in the period the revision is made. |
| Goodwill and intangible assets | In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill, similar to IPR&D, is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually, or if circumstances indicate its value may no longer be recoverable. Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the Company’s business. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is determined that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the fair value of a reporting unit will be calculated and compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge will be recognized for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company operates in two segments as result of the Sera Labs, Inc., acquisition in October 2020 and considered to be the two reporting units and, therefore, goodwill is tested for impairment at the segment level. The Company does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives other than goodwill, Trademark, and the acquired IPR&D discussed in Note 19. As of March 31, 2022 the Company recorded a $2.7 million impairment of goodwill relating to the Cure Pharmaceutical reporting unit. Based on the continuing decline of our stock price and market capitalization as well as not meeting our revenue projections for the Cure Pharmaceutical reporting unit, we determined that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount. The Company determined the amount of impairment to record was based on the income approach – discounted cash flow method. As of December 31, 2021, there has been no impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. |
| Business combinations | The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. |
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Long-lived assets include equipment and intangible assets other than those with indefinite lives. We assess the carrying value of our long-lived asset groups when indicators of impairment exist and recognize an impairment loss when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when compared to undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Indicators of impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the assets or in our business strategy, loss of or changes in customer relationships and significant negative industry or economic trends. When indications of impairment arise for a particular asset or group of assets, we assess the future recoverability of the carrying value of the asset (or asset group) based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis. If carrying value exceeds projected, net, undiscounted cash flows, an additional analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset (or asset group), typically a discounted cashflow analysis, and an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of carrying value over fair value. There was no impairment on our long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. |
| Contingent consideration liabilities | Certain of the Company’s asset and business acquisitions involve the potential for future payment of consideration to third-parties and former selling shareholders in amounts determined upon attainment of revenue milestones, from product sales, as applicable. The fair value of such liabilities is determined using unobservable inputs. These inputs include the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows and the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the cash flows. These obligations are referred to as contingent consideration. ASC 805 requires that contingent consideration be estimated and recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date as part of the total consideration transferred. Contingent consideration is an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the selling shareholders in the future if certain future events occur or conditions are met, such as the attainment of product development milestones. Contingent consideration also includes additional future payments to selling shareholders based on achievement of components of earnings, such as “earn-out” provisions or percentage of future revenues, including royalties paid to the selling shareholders based on a percentage of revenues generated from the Sera Labs’ products. The fair value of contingent consideration after the acquisition date is reassessed by the Company as changes in circumstances and conditions occur, with the subsequent change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in key assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and, accordingly, the resulting gain or loss that the Company records in its consolidated financial statements. See Note 19 for a full discussion of these liabilities. |
| Related Party | Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. |
| Revenue Recognition | The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenues under Topic 606 are required to be recognized either at a “point in time” or “over time”, depending on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement, and are evaluated using a five-step model. To achieve the core principle of Topic 606, we perform the following steps: · Identify the contract(s) with customer; · Identify the performance obligations in the contract; · Determine the transactions price; · Allocate the transactions price to the performance obligations in the contract; and · Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue as, or when, we satisfy performance obligations under a contract. We account for a contract when the parties approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods or services, to a customer. The transaction price of a contract must be allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. In essence, we recognize revenue when or as control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer. |
| Cure Pharmaceutical Revenue | Cure Pharmaceutical derives revenues from two primary sources: products and services. Product revenue includes the shipment of products according to agreements with the Cure Pharmaceutical’s customers. Services include research and development contracts for the development of OTF products utilizing the Cure Pharmaceutical’s CureFilm Technology or our other proprietary technologies. Cure Pharmaceutical’s contracts with customers rarely contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, Cure Pharmaceutical accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. Cure Pharmaceutical’s formulation and product development income include services for the development of OTF products utilizing our CureFilm Technology. Our development contracts have up to four phases. Revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation in each phase. The method to measure progress toward completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. Cure Pharmaceutical generally uses the input method to measure progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs for the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenue is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill these obligations mainly include materials, labor, supplies and consultants. Cure Pharmaceutical has entered into a Collaboration and Joint Development Agreement (“Agreement”) with Medolife Rx (“Medolife”) on February 1, 2021 (“Effective Date”) for Medolife to produce Medolife Products (“Products”) in Cure Pharmaceutical’s cGMP facility. The term of this agreement is for five (5) years from the Effective Date (“Term”). Medolife is to pay $0.3 million to assist in completing the jointly developed production line at Cure Pharmaceutical’s cGMP facility. In addition, Cure Pharmaceutical will produce Products on behalf of Medolife and will grant access to Medolife for a joint production area within Cure Pharmaceutical’s production facility for the Term of this Agreement. The Company has determined that there are no distinct obligations for the $0.3 million and Cure Pharmaceutical does have further obligations as stated in the Agreement, thus the Company will recognize the revenue monthly over the Term, beginning February 1, 2021. |
| Sera Labs Revenue | Sera Labs recognizes revenue as, or when, we satisfy performance obligations under a contract. We account for a contract when the parties approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods or services, to a customer. The transaction price of a contract must be allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. In essence, we recognize revenue when or as control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer. Revenue from eCommerce sales, including direct-to-consumer sales, are recognized upon shipment of merchandise. We also elected to adopt the practical expedient related to shipping and handling fees which allows us to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations. Therefore, shipping and handling activities are considered part of the Company’s obligation to transfer the products and therefore are recorded as direct selling expenses, as incurred. Shipping revenue are recorded upon delivery to the customer. |
| Practical Expedients and Exemptions | The Company has elected certain practical expedients and policy elections as permitted under ASC Topic 606 as follows: · The Company adopted the practical expedient related to not adjusting the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between transfer of product and customer payment is expected to be less than one year at the time of contract inception; · The Company made the accounting policy election to exclude any sales and similar taxes from the transaction price; · The Company adopted the practical expedient not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less |
| Sales Tax | The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes. The net amount of sales tax payable to the taxation authority is included sales tax payable in the balance sheet. |
| Sales Returns, Discounts and Warranties | Sales returns, discount and warranties are considered variable consideration under ASC 606. The Company reduces revenue for estimated future returns, discounts and warranties which may occur with distributors and retailers. When evaluating the adequacy of sales returns, discounts and warranties, the Company analyzes the following: historical credit allowances, current sell-through of inventory of the Company’s products, current trends in retail industry, changes in customer demand, acceptance of products, and other related factors. |
| Cost to Obtain a Contract | The Company pays sales commission to its employees and outside sales representatives for contracts that they obtain relating to wholesale and personal protective equipment. The Company applies the optional practical expedient to immediately expense costs to obtain a contract if the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less. As such, sales commissions are immediately recognized as an expense and included as part of sales and marketing expenses. |
| Contract Liabilities | Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized represent contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenues when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance before satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recognized, and the performance obligation is satisfied. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are included in deferred revenue, which is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had contract liabilities of $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Contract liabilities is made up of the following as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands): 2022 2021 Customer deposits for commercial products $ 493 $ 508 Total contract liabilities $ 493 $ 508 The following table summarizes the changes in contract liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 (in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 994 Additions 435 Customer deposits returned (713 ) Transfers to Revenue (208 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 508 Transfers to Revenue (15 ) Balance at March 31, 2022 $ 493 |
| Cost of Revenues | Cost of revenues primarily consists of labor and manufacturing costs for our products. |
| Advertising Expense | The Company expenses marketing, promotions and advertising costs as incurred. Such costs are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company recorded advertising costs of $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
| Research and Development | Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and processes are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. The Company recorded research and development expenses of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
| Income Taxes | The Company utilizes Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, “ Income Taxes The Company generated a deferred tax asset through net operating loss carry-forward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established due to the uncertainty of the Company’s realization of the net operating loss carry forward prior to its expiration. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”). Under the CARES Act, net operating losses (“NOLs”) arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the five tax years preceding the tax year of such loss. Moreover, under the 2017 Tax Act as modified by the CARES Act, federal NOLs of our corporate subsidiaries generated in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of federal NOLs, particularly for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, may be limited. The accounting for the material income tax impacts has been reflected in the year ended December 31, 2021 financial statements. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the 2017 Tax Act or the CARES Act. The Company is currently assessing the impact the CARES Act will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (Topic 718) for share-based payments to employees, consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating fair value at the date of grant. The Company accounts for restricted stock awards and stock options issued at fair value, based the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. Compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest over the period during which the recipient renders the required services to the Company generally using the straight-line single option method. In the case of award modifications, the Company accounts for the modification in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the accounting of share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The adoption did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements. |
| Fair value measurements | The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following: · Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. · Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. When a part of the purchase consideration consists of shares of the Company common stock, the Company calculates the purchase price attributable to those shares, a Level 1 security, by determining the fair value of those shares quoted on the OTC as of the acquisition date. The Company recognizes estimated fair values of the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development, and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized as any amount of the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in excess of the consideration transferred. ASC 805 precludes the recognition of an assembled workforce as an asset, effectively subsuming any assembled workforce value into goodwill. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. At March 31, 2022 and December, 31, 2021, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, except for cash and cash equivalents consisting of money market funds and the Series A and Series B Notes, which we elected the fair value option. These assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using either Black-Scholes model or Monte Carlo simulation model as a Level 3 input. The Company also has certain derivative liabilities and contingent consideration liabilities which are carried at fair value based on Level 3 inputs. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of contingent stock consideration is evaluated each reporting period using projected financial information, discount rates, and key inputs. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discount rate. Financial information is based on the Company’s most recent internal forecasts. Changes in projected financial information, the Company’s stock price, discount rate and time for settlement of milestones and earnouts may result in higher or lower fair value measurements. Increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For the period from the date of acquisition to March 31, 2021, the Company’s stock price, volatility percentage and the weighted average present value probability of each the various estimates of milestones, earn-out amounts and achievements being accomplished resulted in a decrease of the fair value of the contingent stock consideration. For the period from the December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022, the Company’s stock price, volatility percentage and the weighted average present value probability of each the various estimates of milestones, earn-out amounts and achievements being accomplished resulted in a decrease of the fair value of the contingent stock consideration. In June 2020, the Company settled all of its outstanding contingent consideration liabilities outstanding with CHI. In October 2020, the Company acquired Sera Labs and had an outstanding contingent consideration liability of $3.2 million in relation to the Sera Labs Merger. The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the Series A and B Notes that were issued on October 30, 2020 and records this at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the Series A and B Notes were recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2022 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value of contingent stock consideration $ 584 $ - $ - $ 584 Fair value of Series A Note $ 3,095 $ - $ - $ 3,095 Fair value of Series B Note $ 6,451 $ - $ - $ 6,451 The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2021 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value of contingent stock consideration $ 1,430 $ - $ - $ 1,430 Fair value of Series A Note $ 3,075 $ - $ - $ 3,075 Fair value of Series B Note $ 6,857 $ - $ - $ 6,857 The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 financial instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands): Fair value at December 31, 2021 $ 9,932 Change in fair value of Series A Note 20 Change in fair value of Series B Note 260 Conversion of Series B Note (666 ) Fair value of Series A and B Notes at March 31, 2022 $ 9,546 Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Series A and Series B Notes are measured at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s derivative liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy is as follows: Date of valuation March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Stock price $ 0.26 $ 0.36 Conversion price $ 1.32 $ 1.32 Term (in years) – Series A Note 0.58 0.83 Term (in years) – Series B Note 0 0.13 Volatility – Series A Note 75 % 85 % Volatility – Series B Note 75 % 65 % Risk-free interest rate – Series A Note 1.15 % 0.32 % Risk-free interest rate – Series B Note 1.15 % 0.06 % Interest rate 18 % 18 % The Company recorded a loss of $0.3 million due to the change in fair value of Series A and B convertible notes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and a gain of $1.0 million due to the change in fair value of Series A and B convertible notes for the three months ended March 31, 2021. |
| Beneficial Conversion Feature | If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. |
| Series A and B Convertible Notes | As described further in Note 14 - the Company has elected the fair value option to record its Series A and Series B convertible debentures, which were issued in October 2020. The fair value of the Notes is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair values were estimated utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Accordingly, the notes are marked-to-market at each reporting date with the change in fair value reported as a gain (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. All issuance costs related to the debentures were expensed as incurred in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
| Accounting for warrants | The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants it issues, as either liability or equity classified, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock |
| Derivative Liabilities | ASC 815-40, requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and present value pricing. At March 31, 2022 and December 2021, the Company did not have any derivative liabilities to adjust to its fair value. |
| Contingencies | We are exposed to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business and use various methods to resolve these matters in a manner that we believe serves the best interest of our shareholders and other constituents. When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is more likely than another, we record the lowest amount in the estimated range of loss and, if material, disclose the estimated range of loss. We do not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies, but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such a range. Historically, adjustments to our estimates have not been material. We believe the recorded reserves in our condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities. We do not believe that any of these identified claims or litigation will be material to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Gain contingencies are recorded when the ultimate resolution of the contingency is resolved. |
| Net Loss per Common Share | Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding any unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive securities or other contracts to issue common stock as if these securities were exercised or converted to common stock. Diluted net loss per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents (stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants) when, under either the treasury or if-converted method, such inclusion in the computation would be dilutive. Net loss is adjusted for the dilutive effect of the change in fair value liability for price adjustable warrants, if applicable. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended (in thousands, except per share data): For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Net income (loss) attributable to the Company $ (5,151 ) $ (3,171 ) Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock 68,849,400 47,686,793 Dilutive potential common stock shares from: Vested Stock options from the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan - - Warrants - - Conversion of convertible notes - - Issuance of contingent shares relating to CHI acquisition - - Common stock and common stock equivalents 68,849,400 47,686,793 Income (loss) per share: Basic net income (loss) per share $ (0.07 ) $ (0.07 ) Diluted net income (loss) per share $ (0.07 ) $ (0.07 ) The following number of shares have been excluded from diluted net income (loss) since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive: Three months ended March 31, 2022 2021 Vested stock options from the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan 3,760,015 3,002,525 Warrants 615,530 2,479,849 Shares to be issued upon conversion of convertible payable 115,047 115,047 Total 4,490,592 5,597,421 In connection with Sera Labs Merger, Sera Labs security holders are also entitled to receive up to 5,988,024 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Clawback Shares”) based on the achievement of certain sales milestones. Due to the uncertainty of the number of Clawback Shares to be issued, these Clawback Shares were not included in the table above. The Series A and B Notes (other than restricted amounts under a Series B Note) is convertible, at the option of the Investor, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.32 per share. The conversion price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection upon any transaction in which the Company is deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock. If the Company enters into any agreement to issue any variable rate securities, other than a bona fide at-the-market offering or equity line of credit, the Investor has the additional right to substitute such variable price (or formula) for the conversion price. If an Event of Default has occurred under the Convertible Notes, the Investor may elect to alternatively convert the Convertible Notes at the redemption premium described therein. Due to the uncertainty of the number of shares to be issued, the shares to be issued from the conversion of the Series A and B Notes were also not included in the table above. |
| Segment Reporting | The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it does have segment reporting relating to Cure Pharmaceutical and Sera Labs. |
| Risks and Uncertainties | COVID-19 Considerations The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the macroeconomic environment in the United States and globally. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact our estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. These estimates relate to certain accounts including, but not limited to, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. The magnitude of the impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer, supplier and hospital behavior in response to the pandemic and such governmental actions, and the economic and operating conditions that we may face in the aftermath of COVID-19. |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | ASU 2022-02 In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”). These amendments eliminate the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and early adoption is permitted. As of March 31, 2022, we do not expect ASU 2022-02 to have an impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2022-01 In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method” (ASU 2022-01). The ASU expands the current single-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio under the method. ASU 2022-01 will become effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and early adoption is permitted. As of March 31, 2022, we do not expect ASU 2022-01 to have an impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Other accounting standard updates effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2021 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There are various other updates recently issued, however, they are not expected to have material impact on the Company’s condense consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
