SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements”, as defined under United States federal securities laws. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

  our ability to market, commercialize and achieve broader market acceptance for our products;
     
  our ability to successfully expand, and achieve full productivity from, our sales, clinical support, and marketing capabilities;
     
  our ability to successfully complete the development of, and obtain regulatory clearance or approval for, our products; and
     
  the estimates regarding the sufficiency of our cash resources, our ability to obtain additional capital or our ability to maintain or grow sources of revenue.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain. You should also refer to the section of our Annual report on Form 10-K entitled “Risk Factors” for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us, or any other person, that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We do not undertake to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

 

The “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the “Risk Factors” of H-CYTE (formerly MedoveX) business and do not include information relative to Regenerative Medicine Solutions, LLC, RMS Shareholder, LLC (“Shareholder”), Lung Institute LLC (“LI”), RMS Lung Institute Management LLC (“RMS LI Management”) and Cognitive Health Institute Tampa, LLC (“CHIT”), (collectively “RMS”).

H-CYTE, INC

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 - Description of the Company

 

On July 11, 2019, Medovex Corp. (“MedoveX”) changed its named to H-CYTE, Inc. (“H-CYTE” or the “Company”) by filing a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of the State of Nevada. The name change and the Company’s new symbol, HCYT, became effective with FINRA on July 15, 2019.

 

On October 18, 2018, H-CYTE (formerly named MedoveX) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Regenerative Medicine Solutions, LLC, RMS Shareholder, LLC (“Shareholder”), Lung Institute LLC (“LI”), RMS Lung Institute Management LLC (“RMS LI Management”) and Cognitive Health Institute Tampa, LLC (“CHIT”), (collectively “RMS”). On January 8, 2019, the APA was amended, and the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of RMS as reported in the 8-K/A filed in March of 2019. Based on the terms of the APA and its amendment (collectively the “APA”), the former RMS members had voting control of the combined company as of the closing of the RMS acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition transaction has been treated as a reverse acquisition whereby the Company is deemed to have been acquired by RMS and the historical financial statements prior to the acquisition date of January 8, 2019 now reflect the historical financial statements of RMS.

 

Prior to the merger of H-CYTE and RMS on January 8, 2019 (the “Merger”), the consolidated results for H-CYTE include the financial activities of Regenerative Medicine Solutions, LLC, LI, RMS Nashville, LLC (“Nashville”), RMS Pittsburgh, LLC (“Pittsburgh”), RMS Scottsdale, LLC (“Scottsdale”), RMS Dallas, LLC (“Dallas”), State, LLC (“State”), Cognitive Health Institute of Tampa (“CHIT”), RMS LI Management, and Shareholder, H-CYTE included Lung Institute Dallas, PLLC (“LI Dallas”), Lung Institute Nashville, PLLC (“LI Nashville”), Lung Institute Pittsburgh, PLLC (“LI Pittsburgh”), and Lung Institute Scottsdale, LLC (“LI Scottsdale”), as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”).

 

As of the merger, the consolidated results for H-CYTE include the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: H-CYTE Management, LLC (formerly Blue Zone Health Management, LLC), Cognitive Health Institute, LLC, and Lung Institute Tampa, LLC (formerly Blue Zone Lung Tampa, LLC). Additionally, H-CYTE has consolidated LI Dallas, LI Nashville, LI Pittsburgh, and LI Scottsdale, as VIEs.

 

The Company’s RMS division is a healthcare medical biosciences company that develops and implements advanced innovative treatment options in regenerative medicine to treat an array of debilitating medical conditions. In addition, the company is the operator and manager of the various Lung Health Institute clinics. Committed to an individualized patient-centric approach, RMS consistently provides oversight and management of the highest quality care while producing positive outcomes. RMS offices are located in Tampa, Florida. The Lung Health Institute located in Tampa, Florida is a wholly owned subsidiary of RMS. RMS also provides oversight and management to the Lung Health Institutes located in Nashville, TN, Scottsdale AZ, Pittsburgh, PA, and Dallas, TX.

 

On June 21, 2019, H-CYTE entered into an agreement with Rion, LLC (“Rion”) to develop a disruptive cytotherapy technology for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. This agreement provides for a 10-year exclusive and extendable supply agreement with Rion to enable H-CYTE to develop proprietary biologics. This will be managed through a new Rion division of H-CYTE.

 

Rion has established a novel technology to harness the healing power of the body. Rion’s novel exosome technology, based on science developed at Mayo Clinic, provides an off-the-shelf platform to enhance healing in soft tissue, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and neurological organ systems.

 

With this agreement, Rion will serve as the product supplier and co-develop a proprietary cellular platform with H-CYTE for the treatment of COPD, and H-CYTE will control the commercial development and facilitate clinical trial investigation. After conducting joint research and development of these biologics, H-CYTE intends to pursue submission of an investigational new drug (IND) application for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for treatment of COPD.

 

The Company is also in the business of designing and marketing proprietary medical devices for commercial use in the United States and Europe. The Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the DenerveX System, and it is now commercially available throughout the European Union and several other countries that accept CE marking. The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in July 2017. The Company is presently reevaluating its approaches to revenue generation including the continuing use of its distribution channels, source of manufacturing, and evaluating joint venture opportunities. In July 2019, the Company signed a new engineering feasibility proposal that would confirm a new sterilization process which would be a slightly less expensive option and expand the shelf life of DenerveX from six months to a minimum of one year and potentially up to three years. The longer shelf life will help the distributors reach more end-users as many hospital systems and medical practitioners will not purchase medical products with less than a one-year shelf life. The Company still considers the United States to be a target market and it remains the Company’s goal to seek FDA approval. The Company anticipates that it will do so once it is back in production and generating revenue through sales in Europe and other approved countries.

Note 2 – Basis of presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Based on the terms of the APA, the former RMS members had voting control of the combined company as of the closing of the Merger. RMS is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and the transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of RMS included as part of the purchase transaction are recorded at historical cost. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of H-CYTE are recorded as of the merger closing date at their estimated fair values (see Note 3).

 

The unaudited consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit), and the consolidated statements of cash flows do not reflect the historical financial information related to H-CYTE prior to the Merger as they only reflect the historical financial information related to RMS. For the unaudited consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit), the common stock, preferred stock, and additional paid in capital reflect the accounting for the stock received by the RMS members as of the Merger as if it was received at the beginning of the periods presented. The unaudited consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) reflect the activity from June 30, 2019 to September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019. For the comparable period from December 31, 2017 to September 30, 2018, the only activity in the unaudited consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) were the losses totaling approximately $1,035,251 and $2,295,173 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2018 financial information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the historical financial information of the H-CYTE business and do not include the RMS financial information. With the reverse merger, historical financial information for periods prior to the merger on January 8, 2019, presented in the comparative financial information included in the 2019 Form 10-Q, will only reflect the historical financial information related to RMS prior to the merger (see Note 3).

 

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other interim period or for any future year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

U.S. GAAP requires that a related entity be consolidated with a company when certain conditions exist. An entity is considered to be a VIE when it has equity investors who lack the characteristics of having a controlling financial interest, or its capital is insufficient to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. Consolidation of a VIE by the Parent would be required if it is determined that the Parent will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses or residual returns if they occur, retain the power to direct or control the VIE’s activities, or both.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its VIEs.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables. Trade accounts receivable are stated net of an estimate made for doubtful accounts, if any. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts regularly to determine if any account balances will potentially be uncollectible. Customer account balances are considered past due or delinquent based on the contractual agreement with each customer. Accounts are written off when, in management’s judgment, they are considered uncollectible. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management believes no allowance is necessary. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded bad debt expense of approximately $0 and $60,000, respectively.

Goodwill And Intangibles

 

Goodwill is recorded at fair value and not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative goodwill test is necessary. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors, that the fair value is “more likely than not” less than the carrying amount or if significant changes related to the business have occurred that could materially impact fair value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test would be required. The Company can elect to forego the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative test.

 

If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, “Step 1” is performed to determine if goodwill is impaired and to measure the amount of impairment loss to recognize, if any. This step compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

 

The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by assigning the fair value to all the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The Company has elected to perform the annual impairment assessment for goodwill in the fourth quarter.

 

Intangibles acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be greater than fair value. The Company’s intangible assets are patents and related proprietary technology for the DenerveX System.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 (as amended), which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations.

 

The Company has not entered into significant lease agreements in which it is the lessor. For the lease agreements in which the Company is lessee, under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the lease commencement date. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted this guidance, applied the modified retrospective transition method and elected the transition option to use the effective date as the date of initial application. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the transition adjustment on the consolidated balance sheet as of the effective date and did not provide any new lease disclosures for periods before the effective date. With respect to the practical expedients, the Company elected the package of transitional-related practical expedients and the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components.

 

Other Receivables

 

Other receivables totaling approximately $34,000 at September 30, 2019 include receivables from the non-acquired Lung Institute, LLC due to Lung Institute Tampa, LLC for approximately $19,000, and approximately $9,000 reimbursement receivable for reimbursement of expenses from a joint study. The $19,000 receivable was a result of the Lung Institute, LLC being a transitory entity for Lung Institute Tampa, LLC while the merchant services accounts are being transferred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with U.S. GAAP as outlined in the FASB ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five steps be completed to determine when revenue can be recognized: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company records revenue under ASC 606 when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Biomedical Services

 

H-CYTE wholly owns the Tampa, Florida Lung Health Institute (LHI) location and manages the other Lung Health Institute locations. The Lung Health Institute uses a standard pricing model for the types of cellular therapy treatments that is offered to its patients. The transaction price accounts for medical, surgical, facility, and office services rendered by LHI for consented procedures and is recorded as revenue. The company recognizes revenue when the terms of a contract with a patient are satisfied.

 

10
 

 

The Lung Health Institute locations offer two types of cellular therapy treatments to their patients. The first type of treatment includes medical services rendered typically over a two-day period in which the patient receives cellular therapy. For this treatment type, revenue is recognized in full at time of service. LHI also offers a four-day treatment in which medical services are rendered typically over a two-day period and then again, approximately three months later, medical services are rendered for an additional two days of treatment. Payment is collected in full for both service periods at the time the first treatment is rendered. Revenue is recognized when services are performed based on the related professional, facility, and diagnostic services for each session of treatment. The Company has deferred recognition of revenue amounting to approximately $1,365,000 and $326,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, U.S. GAAP requires disclosure regarding estimates and assumptions used by management that affect the amounts reported in financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s significant estimates include deferred revenue, the deferred income tax asset and the related valuation allowance, business acquisition accounting, the fair value of its warrant issuances and share-based payment arrangements.

 

For those estimates that are sensitive to the outcome of future events, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company maintains a stock option incentive plan and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, over the requisite service period of the award to employees and directors. As required by fair value provisions of share-based compensation, employee and non-employee share-based compensation expense recognized is calculated over the requisite service period of the awards and reduced for estimated forfeitures.

 

Income Taxes

 

From inception to September 30, 2019, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no current income tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by these losses is fully reserved as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, since it is currently likely that the benefit will not be realized in future periods.

 

As a result of the acquisition, the Company is required to file federal income tax returns and state income tax returns in the states of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas. There are no uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. The Company has not undergone any tax examinations since inception.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Any potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive due to the Company’s net losses.

 

For the periods presented, there is no difference between the basic and diluted net loss per share: 32,756,181 warrants and 517,509 common stock options outstanding were considered anti-dilutive and excluded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, there were no dilutive securities as the accounting acquirer did not historically have stock compensation programs.

 

Note 3 – Business Acquisition

 

On January 8, 2019, MedoveX completed its business combination with RMS under which MedoveX purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of RMS, otherwise referred to as the Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, MedoveX issued to the shareholders of RMS 33,661 shares plus 6,111 additional Exchange Shares (based on closing the sale of $2 million of new securities) for a total of 39,772 shares of Series C Preferred Stock where each share of Series C Preferred stock which automatically converted into 1,000 shares of common stock and represent approximately fifty-five percent (55%) of the outstanding voting shares of the Company.

 

Under the terms of the APA, the Company issued additional “Exchange Shares” to the shareholders of RMS to maintain the 55% ownership and not be diluted by the sale of convertible securities (“New Shares Sold”) until MedoveX raised an additional $5.65 million via the issuance of new securities. On the date of closing the Company issued 6,111 additional Exchange Shares to RMS Shareholders as a result of the issuance of additional securities, which are included in the 39,772 shares above. Subsequent to the closing of the purchase transaction, an incremental 11,153 additional Exchange Shares were issued, for a total of 17,264 additional Exchange Shares. All additional Exchange Shares have been issued to the shareholders of RMS and these Series C Preferred shares converted to 17,263,889 shares of common stock; no additional equity will be issued to RMS.

 

11
 

 

Because RMS shareholders owned approximately 55% of the voting stock of MedoveX after the transaction, RMS was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes (the “Acquirer”) and the transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of RMS included as part of the purchase transaction are recorded at historical cost. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of MedoveX (the “Acquiree”) are recorded as of the Merger closing date at their estimated fair values.

 

Under the terms of the APA, MedoveX purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of RMS. The assets of RMS reported on the MedoveX consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 that were excluded in the Merger on January 8, 2019 was cash of approximately $70,000. The Merger included the following: convertible debt to a related party of approximately $4,300,000, interest payable of approximately $158,000, accounts payable of approximately $224,000 and other current liabilities of approximately $285,000. Additionally, there were certain on-going litigation matters that were not assumed as part of the January 8, 2019 RMS reverse acquisition.

 

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The purchase price for the acquisition of the Acquiree has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation herein is preliminary. The final purchase price allocation will be determined after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed but in no event later than one year following completion of the acquisition. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the allocation reflected as of September 30, 2019 presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also materially change the portion of purchase price allocated to goodwill and could materially impact the operating results of the Company following the acquisition due to differences in purchase price allocation and depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred is as follows:

 

Common shares issued and outstanding   24,717,271 
Common shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock   2,312,500 
Total Common shares   27,029,771 
Closing price per share of MedoveX Common stock on January 8, 2019  $0.40 
    10,811,908 
Fair value of outstanding warrants and options   2,220,000 
Cash consideration to RMS   (350,000)
Total consideration  $12,681,908 

 

Just prior to the transaction, MedoveX had 24.5 million shares of common stock outstanding at a market capitalization of $9.8 million. The estimated fair value of the net assets of MedoveX was $8.4 million as of January 8, 2019. Measuring the fair value of the net assets to be received by RMS was readily determinable based upon the underlying nature of the net assets. The fair value of the MedoveX common stock is above the fair value of its net assets. The MedoveX net asset value is primarily comprised of definite-lived intangibles as of the closing and the RMS interest in the merger is significantly related to obtaining access to the public market. Therefore, the fair value of the MedoveX stock price and market capitalization as of the closing date is considered to be the best indicator of the fair value and, therefore, the estimated purchase price consideration. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 the Company revised its purchase price allocation for the acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $1,215,677 as an increase to goodwill adjusting the amount recorded as of January 8, 2019. The adjustment resulted in a corresponding increase to a derivative liability (see Note 12).

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition on January 8, 2019:

 

Cash  $(302,710)
Accounts receivable   145,757 
Inventory   131,455 
Prepaid expenses   46,153 
Property and equipment   30,393 
Other   2,751 
Intangibles   3,680,000 
Goodwill   12,564,401 
Total assets acquired  $16,298,200 
Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities   1,645,399 
Derivative liability   

1,215,677

 
Interest-bearing liabilities and other   755,216 
Net assets acquired  $12,681,908 

 

12
 

 

Intangible assets are recorded as definite-lived assets and amortized over the estimated period of economic benefit. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill is recorded as an indefinite-lived asset and is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis or when indications of impairment exist.

 

Total interest bearing and other liabilities assumed are as follows:

 

Notes payable  $99,017 
Short-term convertible notes payable   598,119 
Dividend payable   57,813 
Deferred rent   267 
Total interest-bearing and other liabilities  $755,216 

 

Notes payable relate to promissory notes assumed by Acquiree in a 2015 acquisition, which was later divested in 2016, with the assumed promissory notes being retained by Acquiree. The Company finalized an eighteen-month extension on the notes extending the maturity date to March 1, 2021. Payments on both of the notes are due in aggregate monthly installments of approximately $5,800 and carry an interest rate of 5%. The promissory notes had outstanding balances of $95,000 as of September 30, 2019. The promissory notes had outstanding balances of approximately $99,000 plus accrued interest of approximately $3,000 at January 8, 2019 (see Note 11).

 

In the third quarter of 2018, convertible notes were issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with select accredited investors, whereby the Acquiree offered up to 1,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $50,000 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of (i) a 12% senior secured convertible note, initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $0.40 or ninety percent (90%) of the per share purchase price of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents issued in future private placements of equity and/or debt securities completed by the Company following this offering of Units, and (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes at $0.40. The warrants are exercisable at a price equal to the lesser of $0.75 or ninety percent (90%) of the per share purchase price of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents issued in future private placements of the debt and/or equity securities completed by the Company following the issuance of warrants. As a result of the price adjustment feature, the conversion price of the convertible notes was adjusted to $0.36 per share.

 

In the offering, the Acquiree sold an aggregate of 15 Units and issued to investors an aggregate of $750,000 in principal amount of convertible notes and 1,875,000 warrants to purchase common stock, resulting in total gross proceeds of $750,000 to the Company. If converted at $0.40 the convertible notes sold in the offering are convertible into an aggregate of 1,875,000 shares of common stock. Due to the notes maturing during the third quarter of 2019, the warrants have fully accreted as of September 30, 2019. The Acquiree recorded the proceeds from the notes and the accompanying warrants, which accrete over the period the notes are outstanding, on a relative fair value basis of approximately $505,000 and $245,000, respectively. At acquisition date, the value of the notes was approximately $598,000.

 

The convertible notes had maturity dates between August and September 2019 and were renegotiated during the third quarter of 2019 (see Note 11).

 

The following schedule represents the amounts of revenue and net loss attributable to the MedoveX acquisition which have been included in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods subsequent to the acquisition date:

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30, 2019   September 30, 2019 
Revenues  $28,405   $63,910 
Net loss attributable to MedoveX   (7,203)   (1,956,705)

The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents the consolidated financial information as if the acquisition had been included in the consolidated results beginning on the first day of the fiscal year prior to its acquisition date. The pro forma results have been calculated after adjusting the results of the acquired entity to remove any intercompany transactions and transaction costs incurred and to reflect any additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on the first day of the fiscal year prior to its acquisition date, together with the consequential tax effects. The pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined entities may achieve as a result of the acquisition; the costs to combine the companies’ operations; or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements. The pro forma results do not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations of the combined companies under the current ownership and operation.

 

   For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 
   RMS   MedoveX   Pro Forma 
Revenues  $1,536,990   $206,159   $1,743,149

Note 4 - Inventory

 

Inventory consists only of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories were acquired in the Merger and therefore there were no inventories prior to January 8, 2019.

 

Inventory consisted solely of the Pro-40 Generators totaling approximately $126,000 and $0 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Note 5 – Right-of-use Asset And Lease Liability

 

Upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 (as amended) (See Note 2), additional current liabilities of approximately $475,000 and long-term liabilities of approximately $713,000 with corresponding ROU assets of approximately $1,167,000 were recognized, based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under the new leasing standards for existing operating leases.

 

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2019 reflects current lease liabilities of approximately $481,000 and long-term liabilities of $396,000, with corresponding ROU assets of $859,000.

 

Operating lease expense and cash flows from operating leases for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $140,000 and $389,000, respectively, and are included in the “Other general and administrative” section of the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

 

The Company leases corporate office space in Tampa, FL and Atlanta, GA. The Company also leases medical clinic space in Tampa, FL, Nashville, TN, Scottsdale, AZ, Pittsburgh, PA, and Dallas, TX. The leasing arrangements contain various renewal options that are adjusted for increases in the consumer price index or agreed upon rates. Each location has its own expiration date ranging from April 30, 2020 to August 31, 2023. The Company expects to renew each lease upon expiration in order to continue operations.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the undiscounted minimum future maturities of lease liabilities are as follows:

 

Remainder of 2019  $138,000 
2020   482,000 
2021   155,000 
2022   103,000 
2023   69,000 
   $947,000 

 

Note 6 - Property And Equipment

In the aggregate, the new principal balance on these convertible notes as of September 30, 2019 is approximately $775,000 which is comprised of the original principal balance of $350,000 on the Short-term Extension Notes plus $425,000 for the New Principal on the One Year Extended Note.

 

Note 12 – Derivative Liability Warrants

 

In connection with the securities purchase agreements executed in May 2018 the Company issued 108,250 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”) and warrants to purchase 2,312,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants had a three-year term at an exercise price of $0.75. The warrants contain two features such that in the event of a downward price adjustment the Company is required to reduce the strike price of the existing warrants (first feature or “down round”) and issue additional warrants to the award holders such that the aggregate exercise price after taking into account the adjustment, will equal the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment (second feature or “additional issuance”).

 

On January 8, 2019 the Company issued equity securities which triggered the down round and additional issuance warrant features. As a result, the exercise price of the warrants was lowered from $0.75 to $0.40 and 2,023,438 additional warrants were issued. The inclusion of the additional issuance feature caused the warrants to be accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 815.

 

The fair market value of the warrants, approximately $1,200,000, has been recorded as a derivative liability in the purchase price allocation as a measurement period adjustment during the period ended September 30, 2019 (see Note 3). The derivative liability has been remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period and the cumulative change in fair value, approximately $884,000, has been recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2019. The fair value of the derivative liability included on the consolidated balance sheet was approximately $332,000 as of September 30, 2019.

Note 13 - Common Stock Warrants

 

Fair value measurement valuation techniques, to the extent possible, should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company’s fair value measurements of all warrants are designated as Level 1 since all of the significant inputs are observable and quoted prices used for volatility were available in an active market.

 

A summary of the Company’s warrant issuance activity and related information for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is as follows:

(1)Warrants issued with the May 2018 private placement and debt conversion had an initial exercise price of $0.75 and contain a contingent feature which would adjust the exercise price of the warrant in the event the Company issues any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in a private placement of equity or debt securities at a price less than $0.75 per share. On August 8, 2018, the Company completed the issuance of convertible debt at an initial conversion price of $0.40. Accordingly, the exercise price on these warrants was adjusted downward to $0.40.

(2)Warrants issued with the August 8, 2018 and September 28, 2018 convertible notes had an initial exercise price of $0.75 and contain a contingent feature which would adjust the exercise price of the warrants in the event the Company issued any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in a private placement of equity or debt securities to 90% of the issuance price if it is less than $0.75.

 

(3) The Company had warrants that triggered the required issuance of an additional 2,023,438 warrants as a result of the Company’s capital raise that gave those new investors a $0.40 per share investment price which required the old warrant holders to receive additional warrants since their price was $0.75 per share.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

Note 14 - Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

The Company incurred net losses of approximately $11,616,000 and $2,295,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

The Biomedical products and services division will incur losses until sufficient revenue volume and geographical coverage is attained utilizing the infusion of capital resources to expand marketing and sales initiatives.

 

In April 2019, the Company determined that their contract manufacturer was not able to meet the quality and quantity requirements for producing the DenerveX product. As a result, the manufacture of the DenerveX product has been temporarily suspended while the Company sources alternative manufacturing options. Additionally, in the Company’s review and evaluation of its current distribution channels, the Company has determined that many of these channels were not cost effective. As a result of the above evaluations, certain European distributor agreements were terminated, and all other representatives have been notified that the Company is temporarily suspending the manufacture and sale of the DenerveX product while the Company sources alternative manufacturing and distributor options as well as considers other product monetizing strategies, including strategic partnerships. The H-CYTE operations will continue to incur losses until the plan for the DenerveX System monetization is determined and executed.

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph suggests that the Company may not have sufficient liquidity or minimum cash levels to operate the business. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and anticipates that the Company will continue to incur losses until its products can generate enough revenue to offset its operating expenses. The Company, through September 2019, raised $7,100,000 (excluding $200,000 of debt conversions) year to date.

 

The Company pursued raising additional funds from the sale of equity securities. On June 7, 2019 the Board of Directors approved a new private placements securities offering up to $8,500,000 of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share, and a three-year warrant to purchase such number of shares of common stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of common stock issuable as part of this offering (the “Warrants”), at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company raised $100,000 from these new private placement securities since June 30, 2019. The aforementioned security offering has been terminated.

 

On October 26, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a new private placement securities offering up to $9,750,000 of Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred”). The terms of this offering are up to $9,750,000 to be raised at $.41 per share with 100% warrant coverage at $.75 per share for a term of ten years. The Series D Preferred will carry an annual 8% cumulative dividend payable upon a liquidation or redemption. For any other dividends, the Series D Preferred will participate with common stock on an as-converted basis.

 

On July 25 and July 26, 2019, the Company issued two promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $900,000 to Horne Management, LLC, and controlled by Mr. William E. Horne, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Notes bear an interest rate of 5.5% per annum and are due on demand. The Company has received the funds represented by the Notes. On September 26, 2019, the Company issued a promissory note to Horne Management, LLC, for $350,000. The Terms of the Note are:

 

12% interest rate with a maturity date of March 26, 2020.
If the Company is unable to pay the loan as of March 26, 2020, the interest rate increases to 15%.
If the Company does not pay back the principal and interest by November 26, 2019, the Company shall issue to Lender a three-year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share.

 

23
 

 

The Company has certain convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $650,000 that originally matured in August and September 2019. The convertible notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company. The Company negotiated an extension with two of the three noteholders through the expected closing of the Series D Preferred .There were certain fees and penalties that were negotiated along with these extensions in the aggregate amount of approximately $80,000. The Company also reached an extension with the third noteholder which extended the maturity date of the loan for one year, until September 30, 2020, plus interest and penalties. The penalties associated with the extension of this loan were approximately $125,000 as outlined in the terms of the original agreement. The total liability on these notes including principal, accrued interest, and penalties is approximately $904,000.

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If the Company is required to curtail operations, there would be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Cash as of September 30, 2019 was approximately $368,000. The present level of cash and the fourth quarter raise to date may not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s current operating requirements, as such, the additional raising of funds is required.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying value of amounts of its assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 15 - Subsequent Events

 

Horne Management, LLC loaned H-CYTE $150,000 on October 28, 2019, for working capital purposes. The terms of the loan are as follows:

 

12% interest rate with a maturity date of April 28, 2020.
If the Company does not pay back the principal and interest by December 28, 2019, the Company shall issue to Lender a three-year warrant to purchase 171,429 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share.
If the Company is unable to pay the loan as of April 28, 2020, the interest rate increases to 15%.

 

On November 13, 2019 the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) with a principal amount of $235,000 to Horne Management, LLC. The Note bears an interest rate of 12% per annum and is due on demand. The terms of the note are:

 

  12% interest rate with a maturity date of May 13, 2020.
  If the Company does not pay back the principal and interest by January 13, 2020, the Company shall issue to Lender a three-year warrant to purchase 268,571 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share.
  If the Company is unable to pay the loan as of April 28, 2020, the interest rate increases to 15%.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.

 

Overview

 

On July 11, 2019, Medovex Corp. (“MedoveX”) changed its named to H-CYTE, Inc. (“H-CYTE” or the “Company”) by filing a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of the State of Nevada. The name change and the Company’s new symbol, HCYT, became effective with FINRA on July 15, 2019.

 

On October 18, 2018, H-CYTE (formerly named MedoveX) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Regenerative Medicine Solutions, LLC, RMS Shareholder, LLC (“Shareholder”), Lung Institute LLC (“LI”), RMS Lung Institute Management LLC (“RMS LI Management”) and Cognitive Health Institute Tampa, LLC (“CHIT”), (collectively “RMS”). On January 8, 2019, the Asset Purchase Agreement was amended, and the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of RMS as reported in the 8-K/A filed in March of 2019. Based on the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and its amendment, the former RMS members had voting control of the combined company as of the closing of the RMS acquisition. For accounting purposes, the acquisition transaction has been treated as a reverse acquisition whereby the Company is deemed to have been acquired by RMS and the historical financial statements prior to the acquisition date of January 8, 2019 now reflect the historical financial statements of RMS.

 

The Company’s RMS division is a healthcare medical biosciences company that develops and implements advance innovative treatment options in regenerative medicine to treat an array of debilitating medical conditions. In addition, the company is the operator and manager of the various Lung Health Institute clinics. Committed to an individualized patient-centric approach, RMS consistently provides oversight and management of the highest quality care while producing positive outcomes. RMS offices are located in Tampa, Florida. The Lung Health Institute located in Tampa, Florida is a wholly owned subsidiary of RMS. RMS also provides oversight and management to the Lung Health Institutes located in Nashville, TN, Scottsdale AZ, Pittsburgh, PA, and Dallas, TX.

 

On June 21, 2019, H-CYTE entered into an agreement with Rion LLC (“Rion”) to develop a disruptive cytotherapy technology for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”), the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. This agreement provides for a 10-year exclusive and extendable supply agreement with Rion to enable H-CYTE to develop proprietary biologics. This will be managed through a new Rion division of H-CYTE. Rion has established a novel technology to harness the healing power of the body. Rion’s novel exosome technology, based on science developed at Mayo Clinic, provides an off-the-shelf platform to enhance healing in soft tissue, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and neurological organ systems.

 

With this agreement, Rion will serve as the product supplier and will co-develop a proprietary cellular platform with H-CYTE for the treatment of COPD. H-CYTE will control the commercial development and facilitate clinical trial investigation. After conducting joint research and development of these biologics, H-CYTE intends to pursue submission of an investigational new drug (IND) application for review ty the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for treatment of COPD.

 

The Company is also in the business of designing and marketing proprietary medical devices for commercial use in the United States and Europe. The Company received CE marking in June 2017 for the DenerveX System, and it is now commercially available throughout the European Union and several other countries that accept CE marking. The Company’s first sale of the DenerveX System occurred in July 2017. The Company plans to seek approval for the DenerveX System from the FDA in the United States. The Company is presently reevaluating its approaches to revenue generation including the continuing use of distribution channels, source of manufacturing, and evaluating joint venture opportunities.

 

In April, the Company determined that their contract manufacturer was not able to meet the quality and quantity requirements for producing the DenerveX product. As a result, the manufacture of the DenerveX product has been temporarily suspended while the Company sources alternative manufacturing options. Additionally, in the Company’s review and evaluation of its current distribution channels, the Company has determined that many of these channels were not cost effective. As a result of the above evaluations, certain European distributor agreements were terminated, and all other representatives have been notified that the Company is temporarily suspending the manufacture and sale of the DenerveX product while the Company sources alternative manufacturing and distributor options as well as considers other product monetizing strategies, including joint venture opportunities.

 

In July 2019, the Company signed a new engineering feasibility proposal that will confirm a new sterilization process will be a slightly less expensive option and expand the shelf life of DenerveX from six months to a minimum of one year and potentially up to three years. The longer shelf life will help the distributors reach more end-users as many hospital systems and medical practitioners will not purchase medical products with less than a one-year shelf life. The Company still considers the United States to be a target market and it remains the Company’s goal to seek FDA approval. The Company anticipates that it will do so once it is back in production and generating revenue through sales in Europe and other approved countries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On a continual basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below.

 

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The December 31, 2018 financial information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the historical financial information of the H-CYTE (formerly MedoveX) business and do not include the RMS financial information. With the reverse merger accounting, historical financial information for periods prior to the Merger on January 8, 2019 presented in the comparative consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the 2019 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q will only reflect the historical financial information related to RMS.

 

Results of Operations - Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

 

Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

 

The Company recorded gross revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of approximately $2,742,000 and $6,498,000, respectively. The Company recorded gross revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately $1,537,000 and $6,881,000 respectively. The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is mainly attributable to a decrease in the number of treatments provided by the biomedical services business (RMS). The revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is derived predominantly from RMS and the revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is exclusively RMS.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company incurred approximately $550,000 and $1,539,000, in cost of sales, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company incurred approximately $504,000 and $1,979,000, in costs of sales, respectively. The cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is derived predominantly from RMS and the cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is exclusively from the RMS business.

 

The Company’s cost of sales is comprised of two main components: medical supplies and personnel costs for the biomedical services business, RMS. Medical supplies are predominantly variable costs and based on the number of treatments provided; personnel expenses are also variable as these are hourly positions. The number of treatments currently being provided can be handled adequately with the Company’s present level of personnel. The Company possesses the opportunity to increase the number of treatments performed without increasing personnel costs as it can leverage the current personnel’s availability until the Company’s treatment volume reaches critical mass. However, upon an increase in treatment volume beyond that capacity, the Company will need to hire additional personnel.

 

The increase in cost of sales for the three months ending September 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year is attributable to more treatments being completed. The decrease in cost of sales for the nine months ending September 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year is attributable to reduced costs for medical supply purchases from cost control initiatives as well as reduced variable costs associated with reduced revenue volume and the ability to perform treatments using fewer staff members.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company generated a gross profit totaling approximately $2,192,000 (80%) and $4,959,000 (76%), respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company generated a gross profit totaling $1,033,000 (67%) and $4,902,000 (71%), respectively. The increase in gross margin for the three months ending September 30, 2019 as compared to the prior year is attributable to increased revenue and less than proportional cost of sales increases from cost controls for medical supply purchases and the ability to perform treatments using fewer staff members. The increase in gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, is due to reduced cost of sales from cost controls for medical supply purchases and the ability to perform treatments using fewer staff members, net of revenue decline.

Operating Expenses

 

Salaries and Related Costs

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred approximately, $1,914,000 and $7,079,000 in salaries and related costs, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred approximately $895,000 and $3,073,000, in salaries and related costs, respectively. Included in salaries and related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1,690,000 in compensation expense related to the 4,225,634 shares of common stock valued at $.40 per share issued to Mr. William E. Horne on April 25, 2019. These shares were fully-vested upon the issuance of a restricted stock award, pursuant to his employment agreement with the Company, which stated that this award would be fully vested if it was not issued within fifteen days of the Merger. The restricted stock award was not issued within that time frame and was fully vested when issued. The Company recognized approximately $1,690,000 of compensation expense in the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The remaining increase in salaries and related costs is primarily attributable to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflecting only the expenses of the RMS business and 2019 reflecting the consolidated costs for RMS and H-CYTE. Excluding the stock compensation expense of approximately $1,690,000, the Company anticipates that salaries and related costs will continue at a comparable or reduced level in the future. Salary-related expenses are currently under review in order to determine cost-saving measures to assist the Company in its pursuit of becoming a leading biomedical services company and the Company may or may not reduce these expenses going forward.

 

Other General and Administrative

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred approximately, $2,026,000 and $5,310,000 in other general and administrative costs, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred approximately $809,000 and $2,483,000, in other general and administrative costs, respectively. The increase is attributable to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflecting only the expenses of the RMS business and 2019 reflecting the consolidated business costs for RMS and H-CYTE.

 

Of the total other general and administrative costs, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, professional fees were approximately $523,000 and $1,379,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, professional fees were approximately $183,000 and $318,000, respectively. Professional fees consist primarily of accounting, legal, patent and public company compliance costs as well as regulatory costs incurred to maintain CE Mark in Europe. The Company has incurred additional accounting, consulting and legal fees due to the cost of being a public company and costs related to the reverse acquisition accounting in 2019 and 2018.

 

The Company anticipates that the other general and administrative expenses will continue at a comparable rate in the future and include the continued costs of operating as a public company.

 

Advertising

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $1,468,000 and $4,188,000 respectively, in advertising costs, as compared to $279,000 and $1,436,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increases were attributable to increased marketing efforts to promote the Company’s healthcare medical biosciences business. We expect these expenses will continue at a comparable rate as we expand penetration in existing markets.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $212,000 and $632,000 respectively, in depreciation and amortization expense. Of that, the Company recognized approximately $184,000 and $552,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, in amortization expense related to the technology intangibles that arose as a result of the reverse merger by RMS of H-CYTE. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $28,000 and $80,000 respectively, in depreciation expense.

Departure of Directors and Certain Officers, Election of Directors, Appointment of New Board Members and Officers.

 

On January 8, 2019, in connection with the APA, the Board of Directors of the Company (“the Board”) appointed Michael Yurkowsky and Raymond Monteleone as additional members of the Board.

 

Mr. Michael Yurkowsky is to receive $5,000 per Board meeting. Besides this arrangement, there are no arrangements or understandings between the Company and Mr. Yurkowsky and any other person or persons pursuant to which Mr. Yurkowsky was appointed as a member of the Board and there is no family relationship between Mr. Yurkowsky and any other director or executive officer of the Company or any person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.

Funding Requirements

 

We anticipate our cash expenditures will increase as we continue to operate as a publicly traded entity, as we move forward with increased sales and marketing initiatives for the Biomedical products and services and investing in the Rion division and as we incur losses associated with temporarily suspending the manufacture and sale of the DenerveX product. In addition, the Company is pursuing the acquisition of new technologies to expand the business lines and with the intent of increasing profitability.

 

The present level of cash is insufficient to satisfy our current operating requirements. The Company is seeking additional sources of funds from the sale of equity or debt securities or through a credit facility. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

 

The Company is pursuing raising additional funds from the sale of equity securities. On June 7, 2019 the Board approved a new private placements securities offering up to $8,500,000 of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share, and a three-year warrant to purchase such number of shares of common stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of common stock issuable as part of this Agreement (the “Warrants”), at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company raised $100,000 from these new private placement securities since June 30, 2019. This offering was terminated on August 30, 2019.

 

The Company expects to close on $6,000,000 of the Series D Preferred offering replacing the $8,500,000 offering adopted by the Board on June 7, 2019, with an offering for up to $9,750,000. Such closing is expected to be completed by the end of November 2019.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company incurred net losses of approximately $11,615,000 and $2,295,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

The RMS products and services division will incur losses until sufficient revenue volume and geographical coverage is attained utilizing the infusion of capital resources to expand marketing and sales initiatives. The H-CYTE operations will continue to incur losses until the plan for the DenerveX System commercialization is determined and executed.

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph suggests that the Company may not have sufficient liquidity or minimum cash levels to operate the business. Since its inception, the Company has incurred losses and anticipates that the Company will continue to incur losses until its products can generate enough revenue to offset its operating expenses. The Company, through September 2019, had raised $7,100,000 (excluding $200,000 of debt conversions) year to date in additional cash to sustain the Company. Cash as of September 30, 2019 was approximately $368,000. The present level of cash is insufficient to satisfy our current operating requirements.

 

The Company is pursuing raising additional funds from the sale of equity securities. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company raised $100,000 by selling 200,000 shares of commons stock at $0.50 per share. The Company also issued the investors 100,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company expects to close on $6,000,000 of the Series D Preferred offering replacing the $8,500,000 offering adopted by the Board on June 7, 2019, with an offering for up to $9,750,000. Such closing is expected to be completed by the end of November 2019.

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If the Company is required to curtail operations, there would be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since its inception, the Company has incurred losses and anticipates that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Sources of Liquidity

 

Equity

 

On January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with four purchasers (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the four Purchasers invested in the Company an aggregate amount of $2,000,000, with $1,800,000 in cash and $200,000 by cancellation of debt as explained below, in exchange for forty (40) units (the “Units”), each consisting of a convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) with the principal amount of $50,000 and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase common stock (the “common stock”) of the Company. Pursuant to this SPA, the Company initially offered a minimum of $1,000,000 and a maximum of $6,000,000, and subsequently increased to a maximum of $8,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) of Units at a price of $50,000 per Unit until the earlier of i) the closing of the subscription of the Maximum Amount and ii) March 31, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), subject to the Company’s earlier termination at its discretion. The SPA includes the customary representations and warranties from the Company and purchasers. Steve Gorlin, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board, converted a $200,000 promissory note owed to him by the Company in exchange for four (4) Units on the same terms as all other Purchasers.

 

Each Convertible Note offered by the Company as part of the Unit bears an interest rate of 12% per annum, has a principal amount of $50,000, shall mature in one year from the original issue date on January 8, 2019, and will be convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 subject to adjustment stated in the Convertible Note. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note, each holder of the Convertible Notes shall not own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Convertible Note. Upon default, the penalty interest rate of the Convertible Note shall rise to 18% per annum. In addition, pursuant to the SPA, the Company offers, as part of the unit, warrants to purchase the common stock at a price of $0.75 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustments stated therein.

 

The holder of each Warrant may purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each Convertible Note while the Warrant is exercisable. The Warrants have a term of three years and shall be exercised in cash or on a cashless basis as described in the Warrant. All of such notes have been converted into an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

Steve Gorlin, the Company’s former Chairman of the Board, converted a $200,000 promissory note owed to him by the Company pursuant to the same terms of the SPA entered into by other investors to consummate the acquisition in January 8, 2019. The promissory note was converted into an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock, eliminating the Company’s debt obligation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Board of Directors, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and the Company necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

 

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019 and concluded that the Company has a material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019.

 

The Company has an ineffective control environment due to a lack of internal resources with expertise to determine entries and disclosures related to some of the Company’s more complex transactions. Management believes this lack of internal expertise has been somewhat mitigated by continuing to retain consultants with this expertise in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
