Customers and Product Distribution Channels

Retail. Under our retail distribution model, (“RetailModel”), we sell directly to our end customers, which consist of hospitals and medical facilities, utilizing (i) our full-time sales representatives whom we employ or engage as independent contractors and (ii) independent sales representatives who work on a non-exclusive basis. In both instances, we pay the sales representative a commission with respect to sales made by the representative. We refer to sales through our Retail Model as Retail Cases (which are herein referred to as “Retail Cases”). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, our Retail Cases generated, in aggregate, approximately 83% and 77%, respectively, of our revenues..

Wholesale. Under our wholesale distribution model, (“Wholesale Model”), we sell our products directly to independent distributors rather than to hospitals and medical facilities who are the ultimate end customer. We do not pay or receive commissions from any sales by the independent distributor to the end customer. We refer to our sales through our Wholesale Model as Wholesale Cases, (which are herein referred to as “Wholesale Cases”). For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, our Wholesale Cases generated, in aggregate, approximately 17% and 23%, respectively, of our revenues.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our largest customer, a hospital, represented approximately 9.9% of our consolidated net revenues. We continue to develop and expand our customer portfolio through building relationships with key medical professionals in the expanding geographic areas we serve. We provide on-going product training and support to our sales representatives, independent contractors and independent distributors along with product manufacturer marketing materials to ensure customer satisfaction with the products we offer. We believe focusing on these key areas is essential to growing our customer base and revenues.

Manufacture and Supply

We rely on third-party suppliers for the manufacturing of all our products. Outsourcing product manufacturing reduces our need for capital investment and reduces operational expense. Additionally, outsourcing provides expertise and capacity necessary to scale up or down based on demand for our products. We select our suppliers to ensure that all of our products are safe, effective, adhere to all applicable regulations, are of the highest quality, and meet our supply needs. We employ a rigorous supplier assessment, qualification, and selection process targeted to suppliers that meet the requirements of the FDA, and International Organization for Standardizations, (“ISO”), and quality standards supported by internal policies and procedures. Our quality assurance process monitors and maintains supplier performance through qualification and periodic supplier reviews and audits.

Our suppliers consist of:

Manufacturers.We purchase product directly from the manufacturer on a wholesale basis and serve as a stocking distributor for the manufacturer with respect to the product. We then sell the product utilizing our Retail and Wholesale Models and determine the sales price to the end customer.

Our primary supplier of Biologics is Vivex Biomedical, Inc. a biomedical company focused on cellular therapies that treat orthopedic, spine, wound, and soft tissue indications. With respect to Orthopedic Implants, our significant suppliers are OrthoSolutions Group Ltd., Inc. for lower extremities, FH Orthopedics, Inc. for shoulder replacement systems, and Precision Spine for medical devices used in spine surgeries.

Private label manufacturers. We purchase product directly from the manufacturer on an exclusive basis. We then sell the products under one of our own proprietary brands utilizing our Retail Model or our Wholesale Model. With respect to private label products, the manufacturer owns the applicable FDA clearance of a premarket notification requesting permission for commercial distribution under Section 510(k) of the FDCA (“510(k)”).

We contract with Tyber Medical, LLC and Maruho Medical, two manufacturers of Orthopedic Implants, to develop and expand our private label initiatives, including our foot and ankle, and spine and sports medicine products. During 2019, we expanded our private label products through key relationships and suppliers. Our private label portfolio consists of:

• our amniotic membrane product line, which includes AmBioChoice and AmBioChoice Plus;

• our internal fixation product line for foot and ankle procedures, which includes CPM Headed and Headless Cannulated Screws, CPM Snap Off Screws, the FuseFix Hammertoe implant, and Fuse TyWedge System for Evans & Cotton procedures;

• our Cervical ACIF, and Lumbar PLIF/TLIF interbody spacer product line that features titanium-coated surfaces to promote osseointegration during spinal fusion surgeries; and

• our Fuse Suture Anchor product line for sports medicine procedures, which includes Galen, Kopis and Vida suture anchors delivery system for soft tissue fixation (“Fuse Suture Anchors”).

Beginning in 2019, we began distributing the Sterizo Total Knee Replacement System (“Sterizo Total Knee System”) on a private label basis.  During 2019, we secured a master distributorship with Modal Manufacturing, LLC (“Modal”), providing us exclusive distribution rights in the United States for Modal’s total knee and total hip replacement system. We launched the Sterizo Total Knee System in the first half of 2019 and successfully grew distribution by gaining acceptance into 20 hospitals and use by 15 surgeons. We

5

are also evaluating the opportunity to license certain manufacturers’ technology for our own branding opportunities thatwould allow us the right to expand our brandedproduct portfolio offerings.

Contract manufacturers. For products for which we are the manufacturer of record on the applicable 510(k), we outsource our manufacturing and machining needs to contract manufacturers. Our approved contract manufacturers machine and produce our products to our specifications. All finished products go through quality and final inspection at our facility. We then sell the products under one of our own proprietary brands utilizing our Retail and Wholesale Models.  Our FDA cleared products for which we are the manufacturer of record are:

• Maxim X-Treme PEEK Cervical Interbody System

• Fuse Pedicle Screw System (to be launched in 2020)

Product Development

To further our business objectives, we use our knowledge of the healthcare industry and leverage our relationships with key suppliers, manufacturers, facility materials management, and distribution channels. In 2019, we continued to utilize our Scientific Advisory Boards, (“SABs”), to assist with our product development and design input. Members of our SABs include the heads of teaching hospitals and universities, clinical residency programs, and clinical fellowship programs at some of the most respected institutions in the United States. Our SABs have provided valuable insight for both our products coming to market as well as the design and development of new products in our pipeline. We continuously review our product lines, both internally and with our SABs, proactively evaluating product trends to ensure we offer a comprehensive, high-quality, and cost-effective selection of Orthopedic Implants. We believe these efforts will enable us to become leaders in our industry and to expand our existing customer base.

Sales and Marketing

We pride ourselves on developing collaborative supplier relationships resulting in a strong and diverse supplier network. Currently we maintain distribution agreements with approximately 56 different suppliers, with our top five suppliers representing approximately 47% of our consolidated cost of revenue and our top ten suppliers representing approximately 69% of our consolidated cost of revenues.

Public Recognition

Our strategic acquisitions of CPM Medical Consultants, LLC (“CPM”) and Palms Springs Partners, LLC d/b/a Maxim Surgical (“Maxim”) significantly expanded our product lines, operations, and competitive reach. For the second year in a row, Fuse was named and ranked on Deloitte’s 2019 Technology Fast 500TM, an annual ranking of the fastest growing North American companies in the technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy technology sectors. We were also named and ranked for the second year in a row one as of the top 150 largest public company by revenue in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, by the Dallas Morning News in May 2019.

Competition

As a manufacturer, distributor, and wholesaler of medical devices, we primarily compete with other distributors, as well as large, vertically-integrated medical device manufacturers that enjoy well-established distribution channels, national sales networks, direct sales models, and participation in large group purchasing organizations contracted with major hospitals and surgery centers.

We believe that our ability to offer a diverse selection of products across five different product categories, sets us apart from other distributors and gives us a competitive advantage against distributors who are not able to manufacture their own products, as well as manufacturers who are limited to distributing their own products within a specific product category.

Generally, we view Stryker Corporation, Smith & Nephew plc, and Orthofix Medical Inc., as examples of our large vertically-integrated competitors. We believe those competitors, and companies like them, only distribute products they manufacture and have significant costs related to new product research and development and organizational support. Conversely, we sell a broad portfolio of specialized third-party manufacturers’ products and have significantly lower costs related to research and development for such third-party products, as well as significantly lower costs for organizational support since we are not vertically-integrated. Thus, we believe our competitive advantage lies primarily with our single-source fulfillment sales model, allowing us to offer a broader assortment of several manufacturers’ products. We believe we generally have higher gross margins than pure distributors due to the lower product costs associated with being a manufacturer and private labeler.

6

We contract primarily with small- and medium-sized manufacturers of Orthopedic Implants that are subject to FDA compliance and approval standards. We believe these manufacturers are highly innovative and cost effective because of their streamlined sales infrastructures and substantially lower research and development costs.Because of our organizational structure, large distribution footprint, and sales model, we tend to align well with our specialized suppliers’ competitive strategies, which we believe results in more partnerships with such suppliers than our competitors.

We believe the competition in our industry is primarily driven by continued mergers and acquisitions of smaller manufacturers and distributors by larger, vertically-integrated companies that produce, market and distribute medical devices, Orthopedic Implants, and Biologics. Our vertically-integrated competitors benefit from their ability to control costs for the devices they manufacture and distribute. Moreover, we believe the market in which we operate is sensitive to changes in third-party and government reimbursements and, competitive discount pricing. We believe that our industry will continue to see increased mergers and acquisitions because the market is significantly fragmented with numerous medical device manufacturers, distributors, and specialized suppliers offering similar product portfolios throughout the United States.

Intellectual Property

We maintain stocking distribution agreements providing for exclusive distribution rights in certain geographic areas and use of associated trademarks, service marks, and tradenames for the sale and promotion of the products we offer, which generally have durations of one (1) to three (3) years, subject to renewal terms. Furthermore, we require employees, independent contractors, consultants, and advisors to execute agreements, with varying terms of one (1) to three (3) years, that assign to us the intellectual property existing and generated from their work.

Government Regulation

Our products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other U.S. federal and state regulatory bodies. Our products are subject to regulation under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, (“FDCA”), and in the case of our tissue products, also under the Public Health Service Act, (“PHSA”). To ensure that our products are safe and effective for their intended use, the FDA regulates, among other things, the following activities that we or our partners perform and will continue to perform:

• product design and development;

• product testing;

• non-clinical and clinical research;

• product manufacturing;

• product labeling;

• product storage;

• premarket clearance or approval;

• advertising and promotion;

• product marketing, sales and distribution;

• import and export; and

• post-market surveillance, including reporting deaths or serious injuries related to products and certain product malfunctions.

Government Regulation – Medical Devices

FDA’s Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements. Unless an exemption applies, each medical device we seek to commercially distribute in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a premarket notification requesting permission for commercial distribution under Section 510(k) of the FDCA (“510(k) Clearance”), or approval of a premarket approval application (“PMA”). The information that must be submitted to the FDA in order to obtain clearance or approval to market a new medical device varies depending on how the medical device is classified by the FDA. Under the FDCA medical devices are classified as Class I, Class II, or Class III depending on the degree of risk associated with the use of the device and the extent of manufacturer and regulatory controls deemed to be necessary by the FDA to reasonably ensure their safety and effectiveness.

Class I devices are those with the lowest risk to the patient for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to a set of regulations, referred to as General Controls, which require compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”), facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse events and malfunctions, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling and promotional materials. Some Class I devices also require 510(k) Clearance by the FDA, though most Class I devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirements. Class II devices are those that are subject to the General Controls, as well as Special Controls, which can include performance standards, product-specific guidance documents and post-market surveillance. Manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification under

7

Section 510(k) of the FDCA. Class III devices include devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk such as life-supporting or life-sustaining devices, or implantable devices, in addition to those deemed not substantially equivalent following the 510(k) process. The safety and effectiveness of Class III devices cannot be reasonably assured solely by compliance with the General Controls and Special Controls described above. Therefore, these devices must be the subject of an approved PMA. Both 510(k)s and PMAs are subject to the payment of user fees at the time of submission for FDA review.

If the FDA determines that the device is not “substantially equivalent” to a predicate device following submission and review of a 510(k) premarket notification, or if the manufacturer is unable to identify an appropriate predicate device and the new device or new use of the device presents a moderate or low risk, the device sponsor may either pursue a PMA approval or seek reclassification of the device through the de novo process. The products we currently market in the U.S. are Class I and Class II devices marketed under FDA 510(k) clearance.

510(k) Clearance Pathway. To obtain 510(k) Clearance, we must submit a 510(k) premarket notification demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a device legally marketed in the United States. A predicate device is a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval, i.e., a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device) and for which a PMA is not required, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, or a device that was found substantially equivalent through the 510(k) clearance process. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data is sometimes required to support substantial equivalence.

The FDA’s goal is to review and act on each 510(k) premarket notification within 90 days of submission, but the process usually takes from nine to twelve months, and it may take longer if the FDA requests additional information. Most 510(k) premarket clearances do not require supporting data from clinical trials, but the FDA may request such data. If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent, it will grant clearance to commercially market the device.

After a device receives 510(k) Clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a new or major change in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) Clearance or, depending on the modification, require premarket approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to determine whether the proposed change requires the submission of a 510(k) premarket notification or PMA, but the FDA can review any such decision and can disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) Clearance or PMA is obtained. If the FDA requires us to seek a new 510(k) Clearance or PMA for any modifications to a previously cleared product, we may be required to cease marketing or recall the modified device until we obtain this clearance or approval. Also, in these circumstances, we may be subject to significant fines or penalties. We have made and plan to continue to make enhancements to our products for which we have not submitted 510(k)s premarket notifications or PMAs, and we will consider on a case-by-case basis whether a new 510(k) premarket notification or PMA is necessary.

The FDA began to consider proposals to reform its 510(k) Clearance process in 2011, and such proposals could include increased requirements for clinical data and a longer review period. Specifically, in response to industry and healthcare provider concerns regarding the predictability, consistency and rigor of the 510(k) regulatory pathway, the FDA initiated an evaluation of the 510(k) program, and as part of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (“FDASIA”), Congress reauthorized the Medical Device User Fee Amendments with various FDA performance goal commitments and enacted several “Medical Device Regulatory Improvements” and miscellaneous reforms, which are further intended to clarify and improve medical device regulation both pre- and post-clearance and approval. Further, in December 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act (“Cures Act”), was signed into law. The Cures Act, among other things, is intended to modernize the regulation of devices and spur innovation, but its ultimate implementation is unclear.

Pervasive and Continuing FDA Regulation. After a device is placed on the market, numerous FDA and other regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:

• registration and listing requirements, which require manufacturers to register all manufacturing facilities and list all medical devices placed into commercial distribution;

• the QSR, which requires manufacturers, including third-party contract manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, supplier/contractor selection, documentation, record maintenance and other quality assurance controls, during all aspects of the manufacturing process and to maintain and investigate complaints;

• labeling regulations and unique device identification requirements;

• advertising and promotion requirements;

• restrictions on sale, distribution or use of a device;

• FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared or unapproved “off-label” uses;

8

• medical device reporting obligations, which require that manufacturers submit reports to the FDA of devices that may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to reoccur;

• medical device correction and removal reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;

• device tracking requirements; and

• other post-market surveillance requirements, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following:

• warning letters and untitled letters;

• fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties;

• recalls, withdrawals, administrative detention, or seizure of products;

• operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

• withdrawals of 510(k) Clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted;

• refusal to grant 510(k) Clearance or PMA approvals of new products; and/or

• criminal prosecution.

Our facilities, records and manufacturing processes are subject to periodic announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA to evaluate compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Regulation of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-based Products. Certain of our products are regulated as human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”). Section 361 of the PHSA authorizes the FDA to issue regulations to prevent the introduction, transmission or spread of communicable disease. HCT/Ps regulated as “361” HCT/Ps are subject to requirements relating to registering facilities and listing products with the FDA, screening and testing for tissue donor eligibility, or Good Tissue Practice, when processing, storing, labeling, and distributing HCT/Ps, including required labeling information, stringent record keeping, and adverse event reporting, among other applicable requirements and laws. If the HCT/P is minimally manipulated, is intended for homologous use only and meets other requirements, the HCT/P will not require 510(k) Clearance, PMA approval, a Biologics license application, or other premarket authorization from the FDA before marketing.

Environmental Matters

Our facilities and operations are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions; wastewater discharges; the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of hazardous materials; the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes; the cleanup of contamination; and the health and safety of our employees. Under such laws and regulations, we are required to obtain permits from governmental authorities for some of our operations. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws, regulations or permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. We could also be held responsible for costs and damages arising from any contamination at our past or present facilities or at third-party waste disposal sites. We cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from hazardous materials, and we may incur material liability as a result of any contamination or injury.

Compliance with Certain Applicable Statutes

We are subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws, false claims laws, criminal health care fraud laws, physician payment transparency laws, data privacy and security laws and foreign corrupt practice laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, fines, imprisonment and, within the United States, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration health programs. These laws are administered by, among others, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services and state attorneys general. Many of these agencies have increased their enforcement activities with respect to medical device manufacturers in recent years.

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute, prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, arranging for or recommending a good or service, for which payment may be made in whole or part under federal healthcare programs, such as the

Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of the healthcare industry. For example, the definition of “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including gifts, discounts, the furnishing of supplies or equipment, credit arrangements, payments of cash, waivers of payments, ownership interests and providing anything at less than its fair market value. In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, which, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively referred to as “ACA”). ACA, among other things, amends the intent requirement of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. A person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, ACA provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act.

In implementing the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (“OIG”), has issued a series of regulations, known as the safe harbors, which began in July 1991. These safe harbors set forth provisions that, in circumstances where all the applicable requirements are met, will assure healthcare providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the Anti-Kickback Statute. The failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit precisely within one or more safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal or that prosecution will be pursued. However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy all requirements of an applicable safe harbor may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities such as the OIG. Penalties for violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute include criminal penalties and civil sanctions such as fines, imprisonment and possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Many states have anti- kickback laws that are similar to the federal law, some of which apply to the referral of patients for healthcare items or services reimbursed by any source, and may also result in penalties, fines, sanctions for violations, and exclusions from state or commercial programs.

The federal False Claims Act prohibits persons from knowingly filing or causing to be filed a false or fraudulent claim to, or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from, the federal government. Private suits filed under the False Claims Act, known as qui tam actions, can be brought by individuals on behalf of the government. These individuals, sometimes known as “relators” or, more commonly, as “whistleblowers,” may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. The number of filings of qui tam actions has increased significantly in recent years, causing more healthcare companies to have to defend a False Claim Act action. If an entity is determined to have violated the federal False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties of between $10,000 to $22,000 for each separate false claim and may be subject to exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. Various states have also enacted similar laws modeled after the federal False Claims Act which apply to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payor.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), created two new federal crimes: healthcare fraud and false statements relating to healthcare matters. The healthcare fraud statute prohibits knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors. The ACA changed the intent requirement of the healthcare fraud statute to such that a person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment or possible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs. The false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A violation of this statute is a felony and may result in similar sanctions.

ACA also includes various provisions designed to significantly strengthen fraud and abuse enforcement in addition to those changes discussed above. Among these additional provisions include increased funding for enforcement efforts and new “sunshine” provisions to require us to report and disclose to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), any payment or “transfer of value” made or distributed to physicians or teaching hospitals. These sunshine provisions also require certain group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”), including physician-owned distributors, to disclose physician ownership information to CMS. We and other device manufacturers are required to collect and annually report specific data on payments and other transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals. There are various state laws and initiatives that require device manufacturers to disclose to the appropriate regulatory agency certain payments or other transfers of value made to physicians, and in certain cases prohibit some forms of these payments, with the risk of fines for any violation of such requirements.

HIPAA also includes privacy and security provisions designed to regulate the use and disclosure of “protected health information”, (“PHI”), which is health information that identifies a patient and that is held by a health care provider, a health plan or health care clearinghouse. We are not directly regulated by HIPAA, but our ability to access PHI for purposes such as marketing, product development, clinical research or other uses is controlled by HIPAA and restrictions placed on health care providers and other covered entities. HIPAA was amended in 2009 by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), which strengthened the rule, increased penalties for violations and added a requirement for the disclosure of breaches to affected individuals, the government and in some cases the media. We must carefully structure any transaction involving PHI to avoid violation of HIPAA and HITECH requirements.

Almost all states have adopted data security laws protecting personal information including social security numbers, state issued identification numbers, credit card or financial account information coupled with individuals’ names or initials. We must comply with

10

all applicable state data security laws, even though they vary extensively, and must ensure that any breaches or accidental disclosures of personal information are promptly reported to affected individuals and responsible government entities. We must also ensure that we maintain compliant, written information security programs or run the risk of civil or even criminal sanctions for non-compliance as well as reputational harm for publicly reported breaches or violations.

If any of our operations are found to have violated or be in violation of any of the laws described above and other applicable state and federal fraud and abuse laws, we may be subject to penalties, among them being civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from government healthcare programs, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.

Third-Party Reimbursement

In the United States, healthcare providers generally rely on third-party payors, principally private insurers and governmental payors such as Medicare and Medicaid, to cover and pay for all or part of the cost of a surgery in which our medical devices are used. We expect that sales volumes and prices of our products will depend in large part on the continued availability of reimbursement from such third-party payors. These third-party payors may deny reimbursement if they determine that a device used in a procedure was not medically necessary in accordance with cost-effective treatment methods, as determined by the third-party payor, or was used for an unapproved indication. Particularly in the United States, third-party payors continue to carefully review, and increasingly challenge, the prices charged for procedures and medical products. Medicare coverage and reimbursement policies are developed by CMS, the federal agency responsible for administering the Medicare program, and its contractors. CMS establishes these Medicare policies for medical products and procedures and such policies are periodically reviewed and updated. While private payors vary in their coverage and payment policies, the Medicare program is viewed as a benchmark. Medicare payment rates for the same or similar procedures vary due to geographic location, nature of the facility in which the procedure is performed (i.e., teaching or community hospital) and other factors. We cannot assure you that government or private third-party payors will cover and provide adequate payment for the procedures in which our products are used. ACA and other reform proposals contain significant changes regarding Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors.

Among these changes was the imposition of a 2.3% excise tax on domestic sales of medical devices that went into effect on January 1, 2013. This tax has resulted in a significant increase in the tax burden on our industry. In December 2015, the U.S. Congress adopted, and President Obama signed into law, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016. Among other things, this legislation put in place a two-year moratorium on the device tax through the end of 2017. The moratorium was extended to an additional two years beginning January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2019. Other elements of the ACA include numerous provisions to limit Medicare spending through reductions in various fee schedule payments and by instituting more sweeping payment reforms, such as bundled payments for episodes of care, the establishment of “accountable care organizations” under which hospitals and physicians will be able to share savings that result from cost control efforts, comparative effectiveness research, value-based purchasing, and the establishment of an independent payment advisory board.

We believe that the overall escalating cost of medical products and services has led to, and will continue to lead to, increased pressures on the healthcare industry to reduce the costs of products and services. We cannot assure you that government or private third-party payors will cover and provide adequate payment for the procedures using our products. In addition, it is possible that future legislation, regulation, or reimbursement policies of third-party payors will adversely affect the demand for procedures using our products or our ability to sell our products on a profitable basis. The unavailability or inadequacy of third-party payor coverage or reimbursement could have a significant adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Compliance Training

We maintain a company-wide compliance program for all employees, vendors, and contractors, which is managed by our Compliance Officer who is responsible for developing compliance programs, reviewing our policies, overseeing adherence to those policies, and advising management on possible risks. Our compliance policies include general ethical business practices as well as specific operating policies and training to ensure compliance with relevant and applicable healthcare laws and regulations, including the laws referenced.

Employees

We engage AmBio Staffing, LLC (“AmBio”) a Texas licensed professional employment organization, to provide us with payroll processing, employee benefit administration, and related human capital services. As of March 12, 2020, AmBio supported approximately 54 full time equivalents (“FTE”). Of those 54 FTEs, 44 FTEs directly support us, nine FTEs support the operations of other companies, and we share one FTE with other related companies.

Corporate and Available Information

We are a Delaware corporation. We were initially incorporated in 1968 as American Metals Service, Inc., a Florida corporation. In July 1999, American Metals Service, Inc. changed its name to GolfRounds, Inc. and was redomiciled to Delaware through a merger.

11

Effective May 28, 2014, GolfRounds amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name to Fuse Medical, Inc.,Fuse Medical, LLC, an unrelated entity, then merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc., with Fuse Medical, LLC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger. Fuse Medical, Inc. was the legal acquirer, and Fuse Medical, LLC was deemed the accounting acquirer. During 2015, certificates of termination were filed for Fuse Medical, LLC and its two subsidiaries.

On December 19, 2016 (the “Change-in-Control Date”), we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and between NC 143 Family Holdings, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“NC 143”) which is controlled by Mark W. Brooks (“Mr. Brooks”), the Chairman of our Board of Directors (“Board”) and our President; and Reeg Medical Industries, Inc., a Texas corporation, (“RMI”), which is owned and controlled by Christopher C. Reeg, (“Mr. Reeg”) our Chief Executive Officer and Secretary. The closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement resulted in a change-in-control of Fuse whereby Messrs. Brooks and Reeg beneficially acquired, immediately after the Change-In-Control Date, approximately 61.4% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”).

On December 31, 2017 we completed the acquisition of CPM in which we purchased all outstanding membership units of CPM the (“CPM Acquisition”). In the CPM Acquisition, Fuse was the legal acquirer, and for accounting purposes, CPM was deemed to have acquired Fuse. As a result, CPM is consolidated with Fuse effective on the Change-in-Control Date.

On August 1, 2018, (“Maxim Closing Date”) we completed the acquisition of Maxim, the (“Maxim Acquisition”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $3,400,000. As of the Maxim Closing Date, Maxim and Fuse’s operations are consolidated.

Our principal executive office is located at 1565 N. Central Expressway, Suite 220, Richardson, Texas 75080. Our Internet address is www.fusemedical.com. We are not including information contained on our website as part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports, are available to you free of charge through the Investor Relations section of our website as soon as reasonable practicable after such materials have been electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Our business and an investment in our securities are subject to a variety of risks. The following risk factors describe some of the most significant events, facts, and circumstances that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, ability to implement our strategies and business plans, and the market price for our securities. Many of these events are outside of our control. If any of these events occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations may be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and investors in our Common Stock could lose all or part of their investments. We believe our Common Stock continues to be low volume traded and therefore, subject to significant volatility and liquidity.

Risks Related to Our Financial Results, Credit and Certain Financial Obligations and Need for Financing

Although our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, we must raise additional capital before May 4, 2020 to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.

At December 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash of $1.1 million, accounts receivable, net of $6.2 million and available borrowings under our revolving line of credit. Our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year beyond the date of this filing is dependent upon our (i) successful execution of key rebranding initiatives, (ii) introduction, commercialization and sales of new proprietary products and product lines, (iii) ability to increase sales of existing products, with strategic emphasis on selling more Retail Cases and increasing the percentage of Retail Cases sold as a percentage of all Cases we sell, and (iv) continued cost reductions. Additionally, we will need to refinance our Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“RLOC”) with ZB, N.A., d/b/a Amegy Bank (“Amegy Bank”) with a new credit facility on commercially reasonable terms, or obtain equity financing. If we are unable accomplish any or all of these objectives, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.

We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities and debt service needs through May 4, 2020. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond May 4, 2020, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital by May 4, 2020 in order to continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

12

We may not be able to refinance, extend or repay our indebtedness owed to our secured lender, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect to fund our future business development activities and our working capital needs largely from available cash, improved future operations, and other traditional financing sources, such as a revolving line of credit facility, term notes, or private placements, until such time sufficient funds are provided by operations. There can be no assurance that our financing efforts will be successful, or if we will be able to achieve sufficient revenue and profitability growth from operations. If another event of default occurs under our RLOC Amegy Bank, we could be prohibited from borrowing for our working capital needs or our borrowing capacity could be further reduced. If the loans are accelerated and we do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay all amounts due, we could be required to sell assets, to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or to obtain additional financing. Refinancing may not be possible and additional financing may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we cannot borrow under the line of credit, we would need to seek additional financing, if available, or curtail our operations. Additional financing may include restrictions on our operations, or, with equity financing, may result in our stockholders’ ownership being diluted.

We may not be able to obtain waivers of potential defaults in the future from our lender and our borrowing capacity may be further reduced or restricted if we do not meet the covenants associated with our line of credit.

We executed amendments with our secured lender on November 19, 2018, May 9, 2019 and December 18, 2019 related to our non-compliance with certain required debt covenants. We cannot provide any assurance that our lender would provide us with a waiver should we not be in compliance in the future. A failure to maintain compliance along with our lender not agreeing to a waiver for the non-compliance would cause the outstanding borrowings to be in default and payable on demand which would have a material adverse effect on us and our ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

The COVID-19 outbreak may decrease demand for our products and disrupt our supply chain, and any decrease in demand or supply chain disruption resulting from COVID-19 would adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) is creating uncertainty in the healthcare, financial and commercial markets, our operations, our supply chain and the general public.  The duration, scope or impact of the outbreak cannot be predicted.  A broad, sustained outbreak of COVID-19 would negatively impact our results if: (i) our supply of our products or product components or ability to distribute our products, is materially reduced despite our efforts to manage potential supply-chain disruption; (ii) an outbreak materially impacts our headquarters or manufacturing operations for a sustained period of time; (iii) hospitals are required to allocate resources to care of patients with COVID-19 and defer treatment of procedures utilizing our products; and/or (iv) patients elect to defer treatment for procedures utilizing our products due to real or perceived concerns about the potential spread of coronavirus in hospital settings.  A significant percentage of our products are utilized in elective surgeries or procedures, which may be deferred or avoided altogether due to COVID-19 outbreak.  The related financial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, however, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Any decrease in demand for our products or disruption to our business resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak would adversely affect our revenues and results of operation.

We have significant concentration in and dependence on a small number of customers.

In 2019, our top customer represented approximately 9.9% of our consolidated net revenues. If an existing contract with one of our few top customers expires without being replaced or the customer terminates the contract prior to its expiration, we could lose that customer relationship, which would adversely impact our business, future operating results, and financial condition.

We are exposed to risks of obsolete and slow-moving inventory which may adversely impact our cash flow and liquidity.

Maintaining an optimal level of inventories is important to our business.  If we over-stock our inventories, our required working capital will increase. Conversely, if we under-stock our inventories, we may be unable to meet customers’ demand and consequently our results of operations may be adversely affected.  For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, the total amount of our inventories, net of allowance for slow-moving and obsolete inventory, were approximately $11,075,889 million and $8,058,244 million, respectively, and accounted for approximately 49.9% and 43.4% of our total assets for the same years, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, we recorded a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory of $1,711,871 and $3,603,372, respectively. Any increase in inventory may adversely affect our working capital.  If we cannot manage our inventory level efficiently in the future, our liquidity and cash flow may be adversely affected. Further, if we fail to stock appropriate medical devices and instruments to suit customer demand in the future, the volume of our obsolete and slow moving inventory may increase, and we may need to either sell off such inventory at a lower price or write off such inventory, in the event of which our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows will be adversely affected.

13

To grow revenues and profitability from certain products, we must expand our relationships with hospital systems, third-party distributors and independent sales representatives, whom we do not control.

We derive significant revenues through our relationships with hospital systems, distributors and independent sales representatives. If such a relationship terminated or otherwise was negatively impacted for any reason, it could materially and adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and profits. Because independent distributors often control the customer relationships within their territory, there is a risk that if our relationship with a distributor ends, we could lose our relationship with our ultimate customer.

Our success partially depends on our ability to retain and motivate our distributors and independent sales representatives to sell our products in certain territories. However, such parties may not be successful in implementing our strategies and marketing plans. Many of our independent distributors also market and sell the products of our competitors, and those competitors may have the ability to influence the products that our independent distributors choose to market and sell. Our competitors may be able, by offering higher commission payments or otherwise, to convince our independent distributors to terminate their relationships with us, carry fewer of our products or reduce their sales and marketing efforts of our products. We also may not be able to find additional distributors and independent sales representatives who will agree to market or distribute our products on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to establish new distribution and independent sales representative relationships or renew current distribution and sales agreements on commercially acceptable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our revenue growth and profitability will depend in large part upon the effectiveness of our marketing strategies and investments.

Our future revenue growth and profitability will partially depend on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and maintenance of appropriate cost structure, including our ability to:

• create greater awareness of the products we sell and our quality control and customer service;

• identify and utilize the most effective sales representatives who are experienced with understanding the advantages of our products and who can effectively communicate that to our customers; and

• effectively scale marketing and administrative expenditures with revenue and profitability.

Ineffective sales representatives, promotional efforts, and management of working capital could adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.

Our revenues will depend on our customers’ continued receipt of adequate reimbursement from private insurers and government sponsored healthcare programs.

Political, economic, and regulatory influences continue to change the healthcare industry in the United States. The ability of hospitals and medical facilities to pay fees for our products partially depends on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of such materials and related treatments will continue to be available from private health coverage insurers and other similar organizations. We may have difficulty gaining market acceptance for the products we sell if third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement to hospitals and medical facilities.

Major third-party payors of hospitals and medical facilities, such as private healthcare insurers, periodically revise their payment methodologies based, in part, upon changes in government sponsored healthcare programs. We cannot predict these periodic revisions with certainty, and such revisions may result in stricter standards for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain specified products, potentially adversely impacting our business, results of operations, and financial conditions.

If pricing pressures cause us to decrease prices for our products and we are unable to compensate for such reductions through changes in our product mix or reductions to our expenses, our results of operations will suffer.

We have experienced and may continue to experience decreasing prices for the products we offer due to pricing pressure exerted by our customers in response to increased cost containment efforts from managed care organizations and other third-party payors and increased market power of our customers as the medical device industry consolidates. If we are unable to offset such price reductions through changes in our product mix or reductions in our expenses, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be adversely affected.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could lead to demands for price concessions or to the exclusion of some suppliers from certain of our markets, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Because healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade, numerous initiatives and reforms initiated by legislators, regulators and third-party payors to curb these costs have resulted in a consolidation trend in the healthcare industry to create new companies with greater market power, including hospitals. As the healthcare industry consolidates, competition to provide products and services to industry participants has become and will continue to become more intense. This in turn has resulted and will likely

14

continue to result in greater pricing pressures and the exclusion of certain suppliers from important market segments as GPOs, independent delivery networks and large single accounts continue to use their market power to consolidate purchasing decisions for some of our customers. We expect that market demand, government regulation, third-party reimbursement policies and societal pressures will continue to change the worldwide healthcare industry, resulting in further business consolidations and alliances among our customers, which may reduce competition, exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operating earnings are dependent on certain significant suppliers.

We distribute products from nearly 56 suppliers and are dependent on these suppliers for the continuing supply of products. In 2019, purchases of products from our largest supplier accounted for approximately 22% of consolidated cost of revenues. We rely on suppliers to provide agreeable purchasing and delivery terms and performance incentives. Our ability to sustain adequate operating earnings has been, and will continue to be, dependent upon our ability to obtain favorable terms and incentives from suppliers, as well as suppliers’ continuing use of third-party distributors to sell and deliver their products. An unforeseen delay in raw material supplies, a change in terms by a significant supplier, or a decision of such a supplier to distribute its products directly to healthcare providers rather than through third-party distributors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Interruption of manufacturing operations could adversely affect our business.

Our suppliers have manufacturing facilities for certain product lines that may be concentrated in one or more plants. Damage to these facilities or issues in our manufacturing arising from a failure to follow specific internal protocols and procedures, compliance concerns relating to quality systems regulations, equipment breakdown or malfunction, among other factors, could adversely affect the availability of our products. In the event of an interruption in manufacturing of certain products, we may be unable to quickly shift to alternate means of production to meet customer demand. In the event of a significant interruption, we may experience lengthy delays in resuming production of affected products due to the need for regulatory approvals. We may experience loss of market share, additional expense, or harm to our reputation.

Additionally, we contract with only one supplier for the raw materials (polymers) that we use to produce our own FDA cleared products. While we have not experienced a shortage of polymers in the past and believe that it is unlikely that there will be one in the future, if there were a shortage of polymers, it could either increase the cost of production for or prevent us from being able to produce some of our products, which could adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.

If we or our suppliers fail to comply with the FDA’s quality system and good tissue practice regulations, the manufacturing of our products could be delayed.

We and our suppliers are required to comply with the FDA’s QSR, which covers, among other things, the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, record keeping, storage and shipping of our products. In addition, suppliers and processors of products derived from HCT must comply with the FDA’s current good tissue practice requirements, or cGTPs, which govern the methods used in and the facilities and controls used for the manufacture of HCT/Ps, record keeping and the establishment of a quality program. The FDA audits compliance with the QSR and cGTPs through inspections of manufacturing and other facilities. If we or our suppliers have significant non-compliance issues or if any corrective action plan is not sufficient, we or our suppliers could be forced to halt the manufacturing of our products until such problems are corrected to the FDA’s satisfaction, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, our products could be subject to recall if the FDA determines, for any reason, that our products are not safe or effective. Any recall or FDA requirement demanding that we seek additional approvals or clearances could result in delays, costs associated with modification of a product, loss of revenue and potential operating restrictions imposed by the FDA, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Future business combinations or acquisitions may be difficult to integrate, which could cause us to shift our attention away from our primary business and its operations.

We may pursue future business combinations with other companies or strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, product lines, or technologies. There can be no assurance that such acquisitions will be available at all, or on terms acceptable to us. These transactions may require additional capital, which may increase our indebtedness or outstanding shares, resulting in a dilution to our stockholders or a reduction in working capital. The inability to obtain such future capital may inhibit our growth and operating results. Integration of acquisitions or additional products can be costly, time-consuming, and complicated which could significantly impact operating results. Furthermore, the integration of any acquisition may disproportionally divert our executive team’s time and resources from our primary business and its operations. We may sell some or all of our product lines to other companies or we may agree to merge with another company. There can be no assurance that future transactions will ultimately benefit our Company. If we face difficulty integrating future acquisitions or if our executive team’s attention is diverted, our future results of operations may negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

15

If the statutes and regulations in our industry change, our business could be adversely affected.

The U.S. healthcare industry has undergone significant changes designed to improve patient safety, improve clinical outcomes, and increase access to medical care. These changes include enactments and repeals of various healthcare related laws and regulation. Our operations and economic viability may be adversely affected by the changes in such regulations, including: (i) federal and state fraud and abuse laws; (ii) federal and state anti-kickback statutes; (iii) federal and state false claims laws; (iv) federal and state self-referral laws; (v) state restrictions on fee splitting; (vi) laws regarding the privacy and confidentiality of patient information; and (vii) other laws and government regulations.

If there are changes in laws, regulations, or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our business practices, or our existing business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

U.S. federal and state governmental regulation could restrict our ability to sell the products.

Our business is subject to highly complex and evolving regulatory and licensing requirements that are subject to uncertainty, rapid change, differing interpretations, and rigorous regulatory enforcement. Failure to comply with such regulatory requirements may result in civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of licenses or the exclusion from future participation in government healthcare programs. There can be no assurance that federal or state regulatory or enforcement authorities will not investigate or challenge our current or future activities under these laws. Any state or federal regulatory or enforcement review of us, regardless of the outcome, would be costly and time consuming. Additionally, we cannot predict the impact of any changes in these laws, whether these changes are retroactive or will affect us on a going-forward basis only. Any investigation or challenge could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The FDA regulates the manufacturers and suppliers of the products that we sell, market, manufacture, and distribute, and regulatory compliance is costly and could contribute to delays in the availability of our products.

Under FDA regulations, we are subject to the same FDA regulation as the manufacturers and suppliers to whom we distribute. These regulations govern (i) the manufacturing and processing of cellular and tissue products; (ii) the introduction of new medical devices; (iii) the observance of certain standards with respect to the design, manufacturing, testing, labeling, promotion, and sales of the devices; (iv) the maintenance of certain records; (v) the ability to track devices; (vi) the reporting of potential product defects; (vii) the importing and exporting of devices; and (viii) various other matters. Furthermore, manufacturers that create the products we market face an increasing amount of scrutiny and compliance costs as more states implement regulations governing medical devices and Biologics. In addition, we are subject to ongoing compliance concerning our products with 510(k) Clearance, as well as potential onsite inspections by the FDA. Being found in violation and failing to correct an FDA compliance issue, could potentially result in product recall, product seizure, or the withdrawal of the 510(k) Clearance. These types of FDA regulations could affect many of the products we market, impacting our revenues and profitability, results of operations, and working capital.

Future regulatory action remains uncertain.

We operate in a highly-regulated and evolving environment with rigorous regulatory enforcement. Any legal or regulatory action could be time-consuming and costly. If we or the manufacturers or distributors that supply or distribute our products fail to comply with all applicable laws, standards, and regulations, action by the FDA or other regulatory agencies could result in significant restrictions, including restrictions on the marketing or use of the products we sell or the withdrawal of the products we sell from the market. Any such restrictions or withdrawals could materially affect our reputation, business and operations.

If we fail to obtain, or experience significant delays in obtaining, FDA clearances or approvals for our future products or modifications to our products, our ability to commercially distribute and market our products could suffer.

Our medical devices are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and numerous other federal and state governmental authorities. The process of obtaining regulatory clearances or approvals to market a medical device, particularly from the FDA, can be costly and time consuming, and there can be no assurance that such clearances or approvals will be granted on a timely basis, if at all. In particular, the FDA permits commercial distribution of most new medical devices only after the devices have received clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or 510(k), or are the subject of an approved premarket approval application, or a PMA. The 510(k) process generally takes three to nine months, but can take significantly longer, especially if the FDA requires a clinical trial to support the 510(k) application. Currently, we do not know whether the FDA will require clinical data in support of any 510(k)s that we intend to submit for other products in our pipeline. In addition, the FDA continues to re-examine its 510(k) Clearance process for medical devices and published several draft guidance documents that could change that process. Any changes that make the process more restrictive could increase the time it takes for us to obtain clearances or could make the 510(k) process unavailable for certain of our products. A PMA must be submitted to the FDA if the device cannot be cleared through the

16

510(k) process or is not exempt from premarket review by the FDA. A PMA must be supported by extensive data, including results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing and control data and proposed labeling, to demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use. The PMA process is more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) Clearance process, and generally takes between one and three years, if not longer. In addition, any modification to a 510(k)-cleared device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design or manufacture, requires a new 510(k) Clearance or, possibly, a PMA.

Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling certain of our products.

The medical device industry is characterized by extensive intellectual property litigation and, from time to time, we may become the subject of claims of infringement or misappropriation. Regardless of outcome, such claims are expensive to defend and divert management and operating personnel from other business issues. A successful claim or claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement against us could result in payment of significant monetary damages and/or royalty payments or negatively impact our ability to sell current or future products in the affected category.

We operate our business in regions subject to natural disasters and other catastrophic events, and any disruption to our business resulting from natural disasters would adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

We operate our business in regions subject to severe weather and natural disasters including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes, and other catastrophic events. Any natural disaster could adversely affect our ability to conduct business and provide products and services to our customers, and the insurance we maintain may not be adequate to cover our losses resulting from any business interruption resulting from a natural disaster or other catastrophic event.

A cyber security incident could cause a violation of HIPAA, breach of customer and patient privacy, or other negative impacts.

We rely extensively on our information technology (“IT”), systems to manage scheduling and financial data, communicate with customers and their patients, vendors, and other third parties and summarize and analyze operating results. In addition, we have made significant investments in technology, including the engagement of a third-party IT provider. A cyber-attack that bypasses our IT security systems could cause an IT security breach, a loss of protected health information, or other data subject to privacy laws, a loss of proprietary business information, or a material disruption of our IT business systems. This in turn could have a material adverse impact on our business and result of operations. In addition, our future results of operations, as well as our reputation, could be adversely impacted by theft, destruction, loss, or misappropriation of public health information, other confidential data or proprietary business information.

Computer malware, viruses, and hacking and phishing attacks by third parties have become more prevalent in our industry, have occurred on our systems in the past, and may occur on our systems in the future. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. As cyber-security threats develop and grow, it may be necessary to make significant further investments to protect data and infrastructure. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, (i) we could suffer severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, (ii) the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed, (iii) we could lose potential sales and existing customers, our ability to deliver our products or operate our business may be impaired, (iv) we may be subject to litigation or regulatory investigations or orders, and (v) we may incur significant liabilities. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the potentially significant losses that may result from security breaches. Additionally, while we currently do not have cybersecurity coverage, we plan to evaluate options for this type of coverage in 2020.

We depend on the knowledge and skills of our executives and other key employees, and if we are unable to retain and motivate them or recruit additional qualified personnel, our business may suffer.

We benefit substantially from the leadership and performance of our executives and certain key employees. For example, key members of our executive team have experience with successfully scaling an early stage medical device company to achieve profitability. Our success will depend on our ability to retain our current executives and key employees, and to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future. Competition for executives and key employees in our industry is intense and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to retain our personnel nor attract new, qualified personnel. This uncertainty may be especially true during periods in which we face challenges such as financial difficulties or a reduced stock price. The loss of the services of certain members of our executives or key employees could prevent or delay the implementation and completion of our strategic objectives or divert management’s attention to seeking qualified replacements. Each member of the executive team and our key employees may terminate employment without notice and without cause or good reason. The members of our executive team are not subject to non-competition

17

or employment agreements. Accordingly, the adverse effect resulting from the loss of certain members of the executive team could be compounded by our inability to prevent them from competing with us.

We may be adversely affected by product liability claims, unfavorable court decisions or legal settlements.

We are exposed to potential product liability risks inherent in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of medical devices, many of which are implanted in the human body for long periods of time or indefinitely. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable. In addition, we may incur significant legal expenses regardless of whether we are found to be liable.

While we maintain product liability insurance, there can be no assurance that such coverage is sufficient to cover all product liabilities that we may incur. We are not currently subject to any product liability proceedings, and we have no reserves for product liability disbursements. However, we may incur material liabilities relating to product liability claims in the future, including product liability claims arising out of the usage and delivery of our products. Should we incur product-related liabilities exceeding our insurance coverage, we would be required to use available cash or raise additional cash to cover such liabilities.

Uncertainty in future changes to tax legislation, regulatory reform, or policies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Tax laws, regulations, and policies in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change due to economic, political and other conditions. The recently enacted U.S. tax reform legislation referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“U.S. Tax Reform Law”), significantly changes how the U.S. taxes corporations, and many of those changes went into effect for the first time for the 2018 tax year. The U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and other standard-setting bodies could interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the U.S. Tax Reform Law will be applied or otherwise administered that is different from our interpretation. As we complete our analysis of the U.S. Tax Reform Law, collect and prepare necessary data, and interpret any additional guidance, we may adjust the provisional amounts that we have recorded, which may materially impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which the adjustments are made. In addition, state or local jurisdictions may enact tax laws in response to the U.S. Tax Reform Law that could result in further changes to taxation and materially affect our financial position and results of operations.

We do business with companies that are owned or controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and President, which could create actual or potential conflicts of interest.

Members of our executive team, including Messrs. Reeg and Brooks, have economic interests in other companies with which we do business. These relationships could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest. Such a conflict of interest could potentially cause a member of our executive team to seek to advance his economic interests above ours. Moreover, transactions with related parties may not be on terms as favorable to us as they would have been if they had been negotiated among unrelated parties.

While we have policies and procedures in place to prevent conflicts of interest resulting in a transaction that is unfavorable to our Company, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will prevent us from entering into a transaction that is not in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders. If we do enter into an agreement with a related party with terms less favorable to us than we could have negotiated with an unrelated party, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Some members of our executive team may dedicate inadequate time and attention to our Company.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and President, may become distracted by other matters, reducing the amount of time they allocate to the affairs of our Company. For example, Mr. Reeg and Mr. Brooks both own other companies, and they may allocate more of their time to the operations of those companies. If members of our executive team devote more substantial amounts of their time to those matters in the future, their ability to devote sufficient time to our operations may be limited and could negatively impact our business.

General economic conditions may adversely affect demand for our products and services.

Poor or deteriorating economic conditions in the U.S. could adversely affect the demand for healthcare services and consequently, the demand for our products. Poor economic conditions also could lead our suppliers to offer less favorable terms of purchase, which would negatively affect our cash flows and profitability. These and other possible consequences of financial and economic decline could have material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

18

We are subject to significant corporate regulation as a public company and failure to comply with all applicable regulations could subject us to liability or negatively affect our stock price.

As a publicly-traded company, we are subject to a significant body of regulation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. While we have developed and instituted a corporate compliance program based on what we believe are the current best practices in corporate governance and continue to update this program in response to newly implemented or changing regulatory requirements, we cannot provide assurance that we are or will be in compliance with all potentially applicable corporate regulations.

For example, we cannot provide assurance that, in the future, our executive team will not find a material weakness in connection with its periodic review of our internal controls and processes over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We also cannot provide assurance that we could correct any such weakness to allow our executive team to assess the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year with enough time to state that such assessment will have been fairly stated in our Annual Report, or state that we have maintained effective internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year. If we fail to comply with any of these regulations, we could be subject to a range of regulatory actions, fines or other sanctions or litigation. If we disclose any material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, our stock price could decline.

Because the market for our Common Stock is limited, persons who purchase our Common Stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price they paid.

Our Common Stock trades on the Over-the-Counter markets (“OTC Markets”), which are not highly liquid securities markets, and is designated as OTC Pink, Current Information Tier. With some limited exceptions, there has not been an active public market for our Common Stock. We cannot provide an assurance that an active public market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our Common Stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may decline, and our stockholders may lose their investment in our Common Stock.

Historically, the market price for our Common Stock has been highly volatile and trades at low volumes. From time to time, the market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which we believe are unrelated to our operating performance. Fluctuations in the trading price or liquidity of our Common Stock may reduce the value of an investment in our Common Stock.

Factors that may have a significant impact on the market price and marketability of our Common Stock include:

• changes in national healthcare policies and practices;

• third-party reimbursement policies;

• adverse legislation, including changes in governmental regulation and investigations;

• litigation and government proceedings;

• uncertainty related to future legislation, regulatory reforms, or policy changes, including the impact of the U.S. Tax Reform Law;

• announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by our collaborative partners, our present competitors, or potential competitors;

• developments in our relationships with employees, suppliers, or collaborative partners;

• developments or disputes concerning IP or other proprietary rights;

• successes or failures of acquisitions or divestitures;

• our quarterly operating results;

• short selling;

• changes in securities analysts’ recommendations;

• economic and other external factors; and

• general market conditions.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has frequently been instituted. These lawsuits often seek unspecified damages, and as with any litigation proceeding, we cannot predict with certainty the eventual outcome of pending litigation. Furthermore, we may have to incur substantial expenses related to any securities class action lawsuits and our executive team’s attention and resources could shift away from operating our business to responding to any such litigation. We maintain certain levels of insurance to cover these types of risks for our Company, our directors, and our officers.

19

Our insurance coverage and policies are subject to high deductibles to reduce premium expenses, and there is no guarantee that our insurance will cover any specific claim that we currently face or may face in the future, or that our insurance will be adequate to cover all potential liabilities and damages or that we will have sufficient working capital or funds.

Our current executive team can exert significant influence over our Company and make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.

As a group, our executives and directors beneficially own approximately 92.35% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. Because of this ownership, these stockholders can assert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change-in-control. Such concentration of ownership of our outstanding Common Stock could delay or prevent a change-in-control, or otherwise discourage or prevent a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our Company, possibly negatively affecting the market price of our Common Stock. This significant ownership could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of Common Stock. Moreover, the interests of executives and directors may not always coincide with the interests of our Company or the interests of other stockholders causing us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

We cannot be certain that our internal controls over financial reporting and procedures will be sufficient in the future. This uncertainty could have a material adverse effect on our investors’ confidence in our reported financial information. There is no guarantee that our internal controls over financial reporting and procedures will not fail in the future.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are necessary to providing reliable financial reports and to detect and prevent fraud. Our significant assessment and remediation measures we have taken may not be sufficient to maintain investors’ confidence, and a damage to our reputation may result in an adverse impact to our financial position and results of operations. Our disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our business have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Individual acts can also circumvent these controls through collusion of two or more people or through our executive’s override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may have occurred and may not have been detected. A failure in any of our internal controls and procedures may result in (i) enforcement actions by the SEC or other governmental or regulatory bodies; (ii) litigation; (iii) loss of reputation; (iv) loss of investor confidence; (v) inability to acquire capital; or (vi) other material adverse effects on our Company.

Under our charter documents and Delaware law, we could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval, which would dilute our then current stockholders’ interests and impair such stockholders’ voting rights, discouraging a takeover that our stockholders may consider favorable.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that we may authorize and issue up to 20,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights, and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board. Our Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights, which could dilute the interest of or impair the voting power of our holders of Common Stock. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our Company.

If our Common Stock becomes subject to a “chill” or a “freeze” imposed by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) our stockholders’ ability to sell shares may be limited.

The DTC acts as a depository or nominee for street name shares or stock that investors deposit with their brokers. Although through DTC our Common Stock is eligible for electronic settlement, historically DTC has imposed a chill or freeze on the deposit, withdrawal, and transfer of common stock of issuers whose common stock trades on the OTC Markets. Depending on the type of restriction, it can prevent our stockholders from buying or selling our shares of Common Stock and prevent us from raising money. A chill or freeze may remain imposed on a security for a few days or an extended period. While we have no reason to believe a chill or freeze will be imposed against our Common Stock, if DTC did so, our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares would be limited.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

Our principal executive office is approximately 11,500 square feet and is located at 1565 North Central Expressway, Suite 220, Richardson, Texas, 75080. We lease our executive office space pursuant to two separate leases with 1565 North Central Expressway, LP (“NCE, LP”). The lease between CPM and NCE, LP (“CPM Lease”) was effective January 1, 2013, and the second lease between Fuse and NCE, LP (“Fuse Lease”) was effective July 14, 2017. Both the CPM Lease and Fuse Lease terminated December 31, 2017, with month-to-month renewals. We believe our present business property is adequate and suitable to support our mid-term strategies and initiatives for growth. We have currently decided to continue on a month-to-month lease with the option of renegotiating a long-term lease renewal or relocation in the future.

Our leased property does not have material costs of complying with environmental laws.

Explanatory Note

As described in “Item 1. Business, Corporate and Available Information,” and elsewhere in this Annual Report, effective on the Maxim Closing Date, we completed the Maxim Acquisition and integrated its operations for periods after the Maxim Closing Date. Our Financial Statements include the accounts of Maxim as of and for the five (5) months ended December 31, 2018. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Overview

We are a manufacturer, distributor, and wholesaler of medical devices offering a broad portfolio of Orthopedic Implants, Biologics, and other medical devices. A more detailed description of our business operation can be found in “Item 1. Business” within this Annual Report.

We believe 2019 proved pivotal for our growth as a manufacturer and innovative product developer. Our focus to shift our business model from a sole distributor to an integrated manufacturer and distributor has seen successful results in 2019, with continued growth and success leading into 2020. Highlights of our 2019 strategic milestones include the following:

(i)	We secured a master distributorship with Modal, giving us exclusive sales of the Sterizo Total Knee and Total-Hip Replacement System, a next generation total-knee and total-hip joint replacement product line.
(ii)	We expanded our private label branding operations with the launch of the Fuse Suture Anchors for our sports medicine product line. Fuse Suture Anchors include the Galen Medial and Galen XT Suture Anchors, the Kopis Knotless Anchor, and the Vida Interference Screws.
(iii)	Throughout the year, we grew our higher margin retail business by approximately 6%, primarily by shifting away from wholesale operations.
(iv)	On June 21, 2019, we successfully held our first Annual Meeting of Fuse Shareholders (“2019 Annual Meeting”) since the Change-in-Control.
(v)	In May 2019, we were listed as the one-hundred thirty-seventh (137th) largest public company by revenue in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, by the Dallas Morning News.
(vi)	In November 2019, Deloitte recognized our Company for our fast growth by receiving a ranking of eighty-nine (89th) on their 2019 Technology Fast 500TM.

Current Trends and Outlook

Seasonality

We are subject to seasonal fluctuations in sales, which cause fluctuations in quarterly results of operations. Because of our seasonality, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved in other quarters or for a full fiscal year.

Historically, we typically experience greater revenue and greater sales volume, as a percentage of revenue, during the last two (2) calendar quarters compared to the first two (2) calendar quarters of the year. This increase is primarily due to more patient annual healthcare deductibles being met during the last two (2) quarters of the calendar year compared to the first two (2) quarters of the calendar year, which is partially satisfied by elective surgeries. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately $13.1 million (57%) and $14.6 million (55%) of revenues were generated during the third and fourth quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. We use this seasonality trend to assist us in enterprise-wide resource planning such as purchasing and product inventory logistics.

23

Retail and Wholesale Cases

We believe our comprehensive selection of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics products is pivotal to our ability to acquire new customers and increase sales volume, revenues, and profitability. We continue to review and evaluate our product lines, ensuring we maintain a high-quality and cost-effective selection of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics.

We measure sales volume based on medical procedures in which our products were sold and used (a “Case”). We consider Cases resulting from direct sales to hospitals and medical facilities to be Retail Cases and Cases resulting from sales to third-parties, such as distributors, or sub-distributors, to be Wholesale Cases. Some of our sales for Wholesale Cases are on a consignment basis with the third-party.

Retail Cases in our industry command higher revenue price points than Wholesale Cases. Because Retail Cases involve direct sales to our end customers, we receive a higher profit margin due to the absence of any third party in the sales process, before we pay any potential commissions to a full time or independent sales representative. As a result, Retail Cases generally generate substantially more gross profit than Wholesale Case transactions.

Wholesale Cases in our industry command lower revenue price-points than Retail Cases. Because Wholesale Cases involve sales to third parties who sell our products to end customers, our profit margins are reduced for these Cases. Thus, our Wholesale Cases generate substantially lower gross profit than our Retail Cases, but are not subject to additional overhead support costs, such as case coverage and commissions. Our Wholesale Case business is highly dependent on minimum volume sales levels to achieve appropriate profitability.

Pricing Pressures

Pricing pressure has increased in our industry due to (i) continuous consolidation among healthcare providers, (ii) trends toward managed care healthcare, (iii) increased government oversight of healthcare costs, and (iv) new laws and regulations that address healthcare reimbursement and pricing. Pricing pressure, reductions in reimbursement levels or coverage, or other cost containment measures can significantly impact our business, future operating results and financial condition.

To offset pricing pressure, we employ strategies to optimize revenue per Case. During 2019, we believe we were successful in minimizing the impact of pricing pressures as reflected with average revenue per Case of $4,228 for 2019 and $4,328 for 2018. During 2019, our strategy to emphasize our Retail Model proved successful as Retail Cases represented approximately 83% of revenue, or, an approximate 6% increase over 2018.

Compensation Initiatives

We expect to continue to offer compensation and other valuable long-term incentives, such as equity incentives, to key distributors, executives, and employees as a means to expand our strategic partnerships and industry relationships. During 2019, our Board granted equity incentives to our Scientific Advisory Board members (SABs), key distributors, independent contractors and employees. (See “Item 1. Business” for additional information).

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018

The following table sets forth certain financial information from our consolidated statements of operations along with a percentage of net revenue and should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and related notes included in this report. 

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2019			% of Total Revenues 2019	For the Year Ended December 31, 2018			% of Total Revenues 2018

Net (loss) income	$	(3,316,495	)	-14%	$	3,957,554		15%

Net Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our net revenues were $22,900,277 compared to $26,342,038 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $3,441,761, or approximately 13%.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, Retail Cases decreased by approximately 7% compared to the year ended December 31, 2018, and revenues from Retail Cases increased by approximately 6% compared to revenues from Retail Cases for the year ended December 31, 2018. Revenues from Retail Cases as a percentage of total revenues increased to 83% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019, from 77% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018. We believe the increase in revenue from Retail Cases as a percent of total revenues reflects the execution of our strategies to shift more of our business to higher margin Retail Cases through improvement of our supply chain management.  Therefore, wholesale revenue as a percent of total revenue has decreased.

As discussed above in “Current Trends and Outlook”, we believe that as our industry faces increased pricing pressures, we will need to focus on increased volume of Cases to maintain gross profit levels. We intend to increase our Retail Case volume by increasing sales volumes with our existing retail customer base as well as on-boarding new surgeons, distributors, and retail customers.

Cost of Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our cost of revenues was $11,762,790 compared to $13,352,558 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is a decrease of $1,589,768, or approximately 13%

As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues was approximately 51% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.   While remaining stable, the components making up the cost were variable and consisted of the following:   (i)(a) an approximate 5% decrease in medical instruments purchased based on lower demand, (b) an approximate 3% reduction in cost of revenues primarily driven by a reduction in Case volume product mix; offset, in part, by (ii) an approximate 7% increase in the inventory loss provision for slow-moving and obsolescence.

25

Gross Profit

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our gross profit was $11,137,487 compared to $12,989,480 for the year ended December 31, 2018, representing a decrease of $1,851,993, or approximately 13%.

As a percentage of revenues, gross profit remained stable at approximately 49% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The components of gross profit varied and included (i)(a) an approximate 5% decrease in medical instruments purchased based on lower demand, (b) an approximate 3% reduction in cost of revenues primarily driven by a reduction in Case volume product mix; offset, in part, by (ii) an approximate 7% increase in the inventory loss provision for slow-moving and obsolescence, identified during our inventory system upgrades and periodic cycle-counts.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our selling, general, administrative, and other expenses (SG&A) were $8,466,077, or approximately flat when compared to SG&A of $8,466,128 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A accounted for approximately 37% for the year ended December 31, 2019, and 32% for the year ended December 31, 2018. As a percentage of revenues, the increase of approximately 5% primarily resulted from (i)(a) an increase of $571,832 in bad debt expense driven by an increase in aged customer accounts receivables, (b) an increase of $307,500 in SAB costs, a reflection of the first full year of SAB costs since the 2018 SAB establishment, and (c) an increase of $140,892 for employee expense reimbursements related to business development and travel costs; offset, in part, by (ii)(a) a $333,332 decrease in leased staffing costs, (b) a $253,746 reduction in legal fees, (c) a $225,946 reduction in consulting and audit costs, and (d) a $207,250 reduction in stock-based compensation expense.

Commissions

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our commissions expense decreased to $5,982,075 from $6,431,967 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $449,892, or approximately 7%.

As a percentage of net revenues, commissions expense accounted for approximately 26% for the year ended December 31, 2019, and 24% for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase is primarily driven by an approximate 6% increase in revenues from Retail Cases as a percentage of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. Please see “Current Trends and Outlook” for additional information. We do not incur commissions expense on revenues derived from Wholesale Cases.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our depreciation and amortization expense increased to $107,073 from $49,685 for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $57,388. The increase is primarily the result of an approximate (i) $47,500 in amortization of intangible assets, such as noncompete agreements and customer relationships, acquired pursuant to the Maxim Acquisition as of the Maxim Closing Date, and (ii) an approximate $9,900 increase in depreciation expense as a result of investment in IT infrastructure such as additional and replacement user workstations.

Goodwill Impairment

During 2019, we assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of our goodwill as a result of (i) the continuation of adverse economic and business trends, and (ii) revisions to our anticipated future operating results. We recorded an impairment charge of $932,203 in 2019 to reduce our carrying value of goodwill to fair value.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Purchase Consideration

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we determined that the earnings thresholds, as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement, were not met for payments under the earn-out (“Earn-Out”). Therefore, based on our 2019 financial performance, we made no payments to NC 143 for either the base Earn-Out or the bonus Earn-Out.

As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of the Earn-Out liability was re-measured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach, as further explained in Note 2 of our accompanying consolidated Financial Statements, entitled “Significant Accounting Policies, Fair Value Measurements.” As a result, the current fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $1,936,164, from $13,581,529 to $11,645,365.

26

Interest

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our interest expense declined to $121,633 from $133,944 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is a reduction of by $12,311, or approximately 9%. The decline is primarily due to an approximate $19,728 reduction in interest expense based on a decrease in our RLOC borrowings, offset, in part, by an approximately $7,417 increase in interest expense driven by changes in LIBOR market interest rates and the one percent (1%) increase in cost of borrowings on the RLOC pursuant to the Second Amendment of the RLOC executed on November 19, 2018 (“Second Amendment”).

Tax

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized a tax expense of $781,085, compared to a tax benefit of $386,784 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The tax expense recognized in 2019 is a result of recognition of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on management’s determination that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. For additional information, please see Note 11 of our accompanying consolidated Financial Statements, entitled “Income Taxes.”

Net Loss (Income)

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had a net loss of $3,316,495, compared to net income of $3,957,554 for the year ended December 31, 2018, reflecting a reduction in our net income of $7,274,049, or approximately 184%.  The primary drivers for our reduction in net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 were (i)(a) a $3,726,850 reduction in the change in fair value of contingent purchase consideration, (b) a $3,441,761 reduction in revenues, (c) an increase of $1,167,869 in income tax expense, (d) a $932,203 goodwill impairment charge, (e) an increase of $1,476,090 in the inventory obsolescence adjustment, and (f) $57,388 increase in depreciation and amortization; offset, in part, by (ii)(a) a $1,792,125 reduction in cost of revenues, (b) a $449,891 reduction in commissions, and (c) a $12,311 reduction in interest expense.

For more information on the change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration, please see Note 2 of our accompanying Financial Statements, entitled “Significant Accounting Policies, Fair Value Measurements.” For further information on goodwill impairment, please see Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

Net Cash (Used In) Provided by Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our net cash used in operating activities was $4,739, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2,479,900 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease of $2,484,639 primarily resulted from: (i)(a) a reduction in net income of $7,274,049, (b) an increase of $2,541,304 in accounts receivable, (c) a $325,187 reduction in accrued expenses, (d) a $154,283 reduction in inventories, (e) a $13,210 increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets; offset, in part, by (ii)(a) $7,498,278 in non-cash adjustments, and (b) a $122,759 increase in accounts payable.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $15,318, compared to $104,935 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease of $89,617 was primarily driven by (i) a $26,520 reduction in the purchase of property and equipment, such as new and replacement user workstations, and (ii) $63,097 reduction related to the acquisition of Maxim, net of cash acquired.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our net cash provided by financing activities was $275,053, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2,335,366 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase of $2,610,419 is primarily driven by (i) a $10,788,677 reduction in payments to our RLOC, (ii) $8,575,721 reduction in our RLOC borrowings, and (iii) the $397,463 reduction in purchase price adjustment of the CPM Acquisition.

Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from our operations and our RLOC with Amegy Bank. At December 31, 2019, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $7,413,444 (our “Working Capital”), which included $1,099,310 in cash and cash equivalents. Cash from our operations and net borrowings on our RLOC supports our Working Capital needs.

On December 29, 2017, we became party to a RLOC with Amegy Bank. The RLOC established an asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $5,000,000. The RLOC contains customary representation, warranties, covenants, events of default, and is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and provides that our Chairman of the Board and President personally guarantee a portion of the outstanding RLOC amount.

On November 19, 2018, we executed the Second Amendment to the RLOC with Amegy Bank. The Second Amendment (i) waived our events of default under the RLOC, (ii)reduced the aggregate limit of the RLOC to $4,000,000, (iii)extended the maturity date to November 4, 2019, (iv) revised the variable interest rate to the one-month LIBOR rate plus four percent (4.00%) per annum, and (v)amended the financial covenants to state that we will not permit: the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of any calendar quarter end from and after the quarter ending June 30, 2019, to be less than 1.25 to 1.00; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to be less than $700,000 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, and $100,000 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019;modified the event of default related to consecutive quarterly losses to be applicable from and after the quarter ending June 30, 2019.

On May 9, 2019, we executed the Third Amendment to the RLOC with Amegy Bank (the “Third Amendment”). Pursuant to the Third Amendment, Amegy Bank (i) waived our events of default under the RLOC, (ii) reduced the aggregate limit of the RLOC to $3,500,000, (iii) reduced the limit of credit card exposure to $500,000, (iv) reduced the borrowing base component of Inventory to 30%, (v) amended the financial covenants to state that we will not permit EBITDA to be less than $100,000 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019 and $500,000 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2019 and (vi) rescinded the loan sweep feature, requiring us to give notice of each requested loan by delivery of advance request to Amegy Bank.

On December 18, 2019, we executed the Fourth Amendment to the RLOC with Amegy Bank (the “Fourth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, Amegy Bank (i) waived our events of default under the RLOC, (ii) reduced the aggregate limit of the RLOC to $2,750,000, (iii) reduced and limited the annual salary of our Chairman of the Board and President, Mr. Brooks, to not exceed $550,000, (iv) amended the financial covenants to state that we will not permit EBITDA to be less than $600,000 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019 and $125,000 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020, (v) extended the termination date of the RLOC to May 4, 2020, and (vi) provides for our Chairman of the Board and President to personally guarantee one-hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding RLOC amount. The Company was in compliance with all RLOC covenants as of December 31, 2019.

We rely on the RLOC for capital expenditures and day-to-day Working Capital needs. As of March 12, 2020, we had approximately $952,000 in available cash, and $201,000 available on our RLOC for borrowing (subject to certain borrowing base limitations). Borrowings on our RLOC are repaid from cash generated from our operations.

Our strategic growth plan provides for capital investment for new product launches, private label branding, and the upgrade of our financial systems which support our infrastructure. We deem these investments essential to support our growth and expansion objectives. We estimate the range of this type of investment to be approximately $2 million to $3 million and anticipate these investments to occur primarily during the third and fourth quarters of calendar year 2020. We expect sources of capital for these investments to be derived from cash from operations and additional debt financing.

Our projections for calendar years 2020, 2021, and 2022 include expansion opportunities based on carefully evaluated expected return on investments. We expect to replace the AmBio Contract (See Note 13, “Related Party Transactions – AmBio Contract” on our accompanying Financial Statements, beginning on page F-1) through a competitive request for proposal process during the second half

28

of 2020. We believe this will support our efforts to reduce human capital and related costs, while enhancing benefit offerings and coverage for our associates.

Going Concern

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if we will continue as a going concern. Through December 31, 2019, we had accumulated losses of $2,595,813 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,222,133.  Revenue declined by $3,441,761 in 2019 as the result of competitive pressures.  We were out of compliance with our loan covenants at various times during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. We obtained waivers from the lender to cure the violations, but had reductions of the credit facility amount as a result of the covenant violations.  We have determined that these conditions and events raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year beyond the date of this filing is dependent upon our (i) successful execution of key rebranding initiatives, (ii) introduction, commercialization and sales of new proprietary products and product lines, (iii) increased sale of existing products, with strategic emphasis on selling more Retail Cases and increasing the percentage of Retail Cases sold as a percentage of all Cases we sell, and (iv) continued cost reductions. Additionally, we will need to refinance our RLOC with Amegy Bank with a new credit facility on commercially reasonable terms, or obtain equity financing.

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

As of December 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe the effect of inflation, as measured by fluctuations in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, has had a material impact on our Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Financial Statements and the related disclosures in conformity with GAAP, requires our management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, income, assets, and liabilities, reported in our Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which our management uses judgment, assumptions, and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our Financial Statements.

We describe our most significant accounting policies in “Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies” of our consolidated notes to our Financial Statements and found elsewhere in this Annual Report. These policies are considered critical because they may result in fluctuations in our reported results from period to period due to the significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters. In addition, the use of different judgments, assumptions, or estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the period covered by this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We describe recent accounting pronouncements in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” of our consolidated notes to our Financial Statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Board, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to ensure the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Board, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer used the criteria that have been set forth by COSO in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on evaluation by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and under the COSO criteria, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 is effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our existing or incoming directors or officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our executive officers or directors is a party in a legal proceeding adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries. No executive officer or director has been involved in the last ten (10) years in any of the following:

• any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business or property of such person, or of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two (2) years prior to that time;

• any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

• being subject to any order, judgment, decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending, or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities, or banking activities;

• being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC, or the Commodity Future Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

• being the subject of or a party to any judicial or administrative order, judgment decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, or any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, including but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail, fraud, wire fraud, or fraud in connection with any business entity; or

• being the subject of or a party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors, and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

We believe that, during 2019, our directors, executive officers, and ten percent (10%) stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

In making these statements, we have relied upon examination of the copies of Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments to these forms provided to us, and the written representations of our directors, executive officers, and ten percent (10%) stockholders.

32

Corporate Governance

Board Committees

We do not believe that with the current size of our Company, it is necessary for us to have a separately-designated standing audit committee, therefore our entire Board serves as the audit committee. William E. McLaughlin III serves as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined under the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Mr. McLaughlin meets the requirements of serving as our “audit committee financial expert” from his extensive background in accounting and financial reporting for both private and large public companies. For more information on Mr. McLaughlin, please see “Item 10. Executive Officers and Directors” in this Annual Report.

We are not required to have and currently do not have a compensation committee. Due to the low volume of compensation matters that come before our Board, our entire Board has sufficient time to review such matters, so we do not believe it is necessary for our Board to appoint a separate compensation committee at this time.

Our entire Board participates in matters related to executive officer and director compensation. Our Board will consider the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer when determining compensation for our other executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer has no role in determining his own compensation. We have not paid fees to or engaged any compensation consultants.

We are also not required to have and do not have a nominating committee. Given the limited scope of our operations, our Board believes appointing a nominating committee would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level.

We have not made any material changes to the procedures to which the security holders may recommend Board candidates to our Company during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Board Leadership Structure Oversight

Our Board does not have a policy as to whether the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. Currently, our Chairman of the Board is Mark W. Brooks, who is also our President, and our Chief Executive Officer is Christopher C. Reeg. Our Board has determined that this current structure, with separate roles for our Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer is in our best interests and our stockholders’ best interests at this time. Several factors support the leadership structure chosen by our Board, including, among others:

• Our Board believes this governance structure promotes balance between our Board’s independent authority to oversee our business and our Chief Executive Officer and his management team, who manage the business on a day-to-day basis.

• The current separation of our Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer roles allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus his time and energy on operating and managing our Company and to leverage the experience and perspectives of our Chairman of the Board.

Board Assessment of Risk

Our Board’s primary function is one of oversight. Our Board has responsibility for risk oversight and reviews management’s risk assessment and risk management policies and procedures. Our Board considers and reviews, with our independent registered public accounting firm and our executive management team, the adequacy of our internal controls, including the processes for identifying significant risks and exposures, and our Board elicits recommendations for the improvements of such procedures where desirable. Members of our executive management team have the day-to-day responsibility for risk management and establishing risk management practices, and they are expected to report matters directly to our Board. The executive management team has an open line of communication to our Board and has the discretion to raise issues from time-to-time in any manner they deem appropriate. Members of our executive team regularly attend our Board meetings, and often discuss risks related to our business.

Code of Ethics

Our Board has adopted a code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of our compensation arrangements with our named executive officers (“Named Executive Officers”) should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, 2019, were:

• Christopher C. Reeg, Chief Executive Officer

• William E. McLaughlin, III, Chief Financial Officer

• Mark W. Brooks, President

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans and expectations regarding future compensation programs.

In place of having a separate compensation committee, which is not required based on the size of our Company, our Board is charged with the responsibility for establishing, implementing, and monitoring adherence to our compensation philosophy and ensuring that our executives and key management personnel are effectively compensated. Our Board is also responsible for reviewing the compensation of directors.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives   

Our Board’s overall philosophy in terms of executive compensation is to attract, retain, and motivate highly-qualified individuals to achieve our business goals and link their professional performance with stockholder interests. Our compensation plans are designed to motivate and reward our employees for achievement of positive business results and to promote and enforce accountability. We also compensate our executives through our equity incentive plan, which reflects the long-term performance of our Common Stock.

Setting Executive Compensation

Our Board is responsible for establishing and periodically reviewing the compensation of our executive officers and approving all equity awards, including those to our executive officers. Our Board also reviews the performance of our executive officers and determines whether salary adjustments are necessary or recommended.

Elements of Compensation

The total compensation program for our executive officers consists of the following elements:

• Base salary;

• Cash incentive and bonus awards tied to the executive’s and our annual or quarterly performance;

• Long-term incentive compensation, in the form equity awards; and

• Medical benefits, as provided to all eligible employees.

34

Our Board seeks to structure each element of compensation to attract and retain the necessary executive talent, reward annual performance, and provide incentives for both long-term strategic goals and short-term performance. Our Board’s strategy for allocating between currently-paid and long-term compensation is to ensure adequate base compensation that attracts and retains personnel, while providing incentives to maximize long-term value for our stockholders.

Our Company has no formal policy for allocating compensation among the compensation elements described above.

Base Salary

We pay each of our Named Executive Officers a base salary in cash on a bi-weekly basis. This base salary is designed to compensate our executives for performance of their respective responsibilities, and it is the only component of their compensation that is fixed rather than variable. Our competitive base salary is intended to attract and retain highly qualified individuals as our executive officers.

The base salary for our Named Executive Officers for the year ending December 31, 2019, was:

•	Christopher C. Reeg:	$300,000
•	William E. McLaughlin:	$200,000
•	Mark W. Brooks:	$700,000(1)

(1) Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the RLOC with Amegy Bank, which we filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.5to our Current Report on Form 8-K on December 20, 2019, which is herein incorporated by reference (“December 2019 Form 8-K”), Mr. Brooks annual salary was reduced by $150,000 from $700,000 to $550,000 starting December 18, 2019.  

For the year ending December 31, 2019, our Board determined that $300,000 was an appropriate base salary for Mr. Reeg due to the amount of responsibility and oversight that the Chief Executive Officer position requires.

Mr. McLaughlin received $200,000 as base salary for the year ending December 31, 2019, Our Board believes this amount is appropriate because Mr. McLaughlin serves as our Chief Financial Officer, a position that is primarily responsible for the financial well-being of our Company. Additionally, the Board seeks to provide Mr. McLaughlin with a competitive salary for his extensive financial and accounting background.

Mr. Brooks was appointed to the executive position of President by our Board on January 18, 2018, following the CPM Acquisition. Mr. Brooks has the highest base salary of our Named Executive Officers, in part because of his extensive experience and knowledge of the medical device industry and the business relationships that Mr. Brooks brings to our Company. Also, the base salary for Mr. Brooks was partially determined by the earnings he received when he was the sole owner of CPM, which our Board believes correlates with Mr. Brooks position as President of our Company.

Cash Incentive and Bonus Awards

Our Board has the discretion to reward executives with cash incentive and bonus awards. We may pay cash incentive awards if we meet or exceed performance goals as determined by our Board for that year, and we generally give bonus awards to reward executives for short-term performance goals. We are not required to give our executives these awards, and only do so upon the recommendation and approval of our Board.

Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Our Board has the authority to provide compensation to our executives based on the value of and changes in the value of our Common Stock. We grant equity compensation to reward our executives for positive business results and to retain our executives long-term for their services to our Company. At our 2019 Annual Meeting, pursuant to the Definitive Proxy Statement which we filed with the SEC on May 13, 2019, our shareholders ratified our Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“2018 Equity Plan”). Under our 2018 Equity Plan, which was adopted by our Board in December 2018, we authorize our Board to grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other stock awards to our management and employees.

Medical Benefits

Medical benefits are a component of our Company’s compensation plan that is offered to attract and retain highly-qualified individuals. Our Named Executive Officers are offered medical benefits that are generally made available to all employees of our Company at similar cost.

Director Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of our compensation arrangements with our directors should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report. Please note that this disclosure excludes our other three (3) directors who also serve as Named Executive Officers of our Company. Please refer to the above to “Item 11. Executive Compensation - 2019 Summary Compensation Table” and the related narrative disclosure for information about the compensation those individuals received in their capacities as directors.  

Our independent directors (“Independent Director(s)”) for the year ended December 31, 2019 were:

• Renato V. Bosita Jr., MD.

• Ricky Raj S. Kalra, MD.⁽¹⁾

(1) On October 23, 2019, Ricky Raj S. Kalra (“Dr. Kalra”) resigned from his position as an Independent Director on our Board, which we described on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 28, 2019, which is herein incorporated by reference (“October 2019 Form 8-K”). In March 2020 our Board authorized payment of $16,000 to Dr. Kalra after his resignation from the Board and subsequent forfeiture of all his then-outstanding equity in the Company, in recognition of his past service to the Board. As of March 12, 2020, our Board has not nominated a new Independent Director to replace Dr. Kalra but are currently in discussions with potential nominees.

37

Director Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our Board receives comparative market data and recommendations regarding the structure of our Independent Director compensation and the amounts paid through either cash-incentives or equity awards to our non-management directors. For year ending December 31, 2019, our Company did not pay Independent Directors a retainer in the form of cash compensation. Due to the size of our Company and our status as a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, our Board determined that there is currently no need to pay a retainer fee to active Board members. However, we do pay all of our directors for their services as members of the Board in the form of stock awards. Additionally, directors who participate on a special committee of the Board may receive a one-time cash payment, at the discretion of our Board.

Director Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

Our Board has the authority to provide compensation to our Independent Directors on the value of and changes in the value of our Common Stock through our equity incentive plans. Please see “Item 11. Executive Compensation - Executive Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation” for more information on our 2018 Equity Plan.

Special Committee Compensation

Upon the formation of a special committee of our Board to address a specific issue, our Board determines the amount of compensation that should be paid to the members of that special committee, based upon the amount of time and effort we expect those individuals to dedicate to that special committee.

2019 Director Compensation

For the year ended December 31, 2019, our Board did not grant any payment in form of stock awards or cash payments to our directors. Additionally, there were no independent special committees in which participating directors received additional compensation during the fiscal year 2019.  

Risk Assessment Regarding Compensation Policies and Practices

We believe that our compensation program neither incentivizes our employees to take excessive risks nor creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company. Our compensation policy has the following risk-limiting objectives:

• To decrease the incentive to take unnecessary or imprudent risks, our base salaries are competitive with the market, represent a reasonable portion of total compensation, and provide a reliable level of income on a regular basis;

• To reduce the risk that executives will focus on specific short-term outcomes, we do not tie incentive compensation to formulas;

• To discourage employees from taking risks to meet certain performance goals, we may recover our equity awards should a restatement of earnings occur upon which incentive compensation awards were based or in the event of other wrongdoing by the equity award recipient; and

• To discourage the taking of a short-term risk at the expense of long-term performance, our equity awards generally have multi-year vesting, which aligns the compensation interests of our executives with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

• Our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer review our Company’s compensation policies on a quarterly basis to see if our Company is meeting the above risk management objectives. Our Board also reviews our compensation policies annually to confirm that we are meeting our risk management objectives.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Change in Control 

Between the period July 2016 through October 2016, we obtained three working capital loans in the aggregate amount of $150,000 in exchange for Notes bearing ten percent (10%) interest per annum through December 31, 2016, with principal due and payable, upon demand of the payee. For the periods subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Notes bear interest at eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

40

The Notes were issued as follows: $100,000 to NC 143 and $50,000 to RMI. Messrs. Brooks and Reeg have the sole discretion and right to convert all or any portion of the then unpaid principal and interest balance of the Notes into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share.

On December 19, 2016, we entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with NC 143 and RMI. Pursuant to the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement Messrs.

On the Maxim Closing Date, we completed the Maxim Acquisition pursuant to the Maxim Purchase Agreement.

To finalize the working capital post-closing adjustment related to the Maxim Acquisition, our Company issued an aggregate of 120,231 restricted shares of Common Stock to the Sellers on October 4, 2018, at an agreed-upon value of $0.68 per share of Common Stock, which was equal to the 30-day volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock as of October 1, 2018.

Director Independence

We use the definition of “independent” set forth in the listing standards of NASDAQ. Currently, we believe that one (1) of our directors Renato V. Bosita Jr., MD, is considered “independent” according to the NASDAQ standards. Our remaining three (3) directors are Named Executive Officers, and both Mr. Brooks and Mr. Reeg are five percent (5%) stockholders. Thus, the remaining three (3) directors do not qualify as “independent” under the NASDAQ standards.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The stockholders and the board of directors of Fuse Medical, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fuse Medical, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years in the two-year period ended 2019 and 2018, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended 2019 and 2018, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits include performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has incurred significant operating losses in 2019 and 2018 and has an accumulated deficit of $2,595,813 and negative stockholders’ equity of $1,222,133 at December 31, 2019.  Additionally, the Company’s revenues declined in 2019 by $3,441,761 as a result of competitive pressures.  The Company was out of compliance with its loan covenants at various times during 2019 and 2018, which were waived by the lender, but resulted in reductions of borrowing capacity on the loan facility.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s evaluation of these conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Overview

The Company was initially incorporated in 1968 as American Metals Service, Inc., a Florida corporation. In July 1999, American Metals Service, Inc. changed its name to GolfRounds, Inc. and was redomiciled to Delaware through a merger. Effective May 28, 2014, GolfRounds amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name to Fuse Medical, Inc., and Fuse Medical, LLC, an unrelated entity, merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc., with Fuse Medical, LLC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger. The Company was the legal acquirer, and Fuse Medical, LLC was deemed the accounting acquirer. During 2015, certificates of termination were filed for Fuse Medical, LLC and its two subsidiaries.  

On December 19, 2016, the Change-in-Control Date, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Company, NC 143 which is controlled by Mr. Brooks, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and President; and RMI, which is owned and controlled by Mr. Reeg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary. The closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement resulted in a change-in-control of the Company whereby the Mr. Brooks and Mr. Reeg beneficially acquired approximately 61.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, immediately after the Change-in-Control Date.

On December 31, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CPM pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. Subsequent to the Change-in-Control Date, CPM and Company operations are consolidated. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition”)

On August 1, 2018, the Maxim Closing Date, the Company completed the acquisition of Maxim Surgical, pursuant to the Maxim Purchase Agreement. As of the Maxim Closing Date, Maxim and Company operations are consolidated. (See Note 4, “Maxim Acquisition”),

Nature of Business

The Company is a manufacturer, distributor, and wholesaler of medical device implants, offering a broad portfolio of Orthopedic Implants including: (i) internal and external fixation products; (ii) upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction implants; (iii) soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures; (iv) full spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease and deformity indications; and (v) a wide array of osteo-biologics, regenerative tissues and amniotic tissue, which include human allografts, substitute bone materials, and tendons and regenerative tissues and fluids. All of the Company’s medical devices are approved by the FDA for sale in the United States, and all of the Company’s Biologics suppliers are licensed tissue banks accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks.

The Company’s broad portfolio of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics provide high-quality products to assist surgeons with positive patient outcomes and cost-effective solutions for its customers, which include hospitals, medical facilities, and sub-distributors. The Company operates under exclusive and non-exclusive agreements with certain vendors and supply partners in the geographic territories the Company serves.

The Company continuously reviews and expands its product lines to ensure that they offer a comprehensive, high-quality and cost-effective selection of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics so that the Company can be more relevant to its customer needs while continuing to grow its existing customer base. Additionally, the Company continues to grow its manufacturing operations, both by internal product development as well as the acquisition of existing FDA approved devices.

Going Concern

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. Through December 31, 2019, the Company has accumulated losses of $2,595,813 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,222,133.  Revenue declined by $3,441,761 in 2019 as the result of competitive pressures.  The Company was out of compliance with its loan covenants at various times during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and obtained waivers from the lender to cure the violations, but had reductions of the credit facility amount as a result of the covenant violations.  The Company’s management has determined that these conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year beyond the date of this filing is dependent upon the Company’s (i) successful execution of key rebranding initiatives, (ii) introduction, commercialization and sales of new proprietary products and product lines, (iii) increased sale of existing products, with strategic emphasis on selling more Retail Cases and increasing the percentage of Retail Cases sold as a percentage of all Cases sold by the Company, and (iv) continued cost reductions. Additionally, the Company will need to refinance its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“RLOC”) with ZB, N.A., d/b/a Amegy Bank (“Amegy Bank”) with a new credit facility on commercially reasonable terms, or obtain equity financing.

F-7

The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, CPM, and Maxim, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries of which the operations have been integrated with the Company. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the Company’s reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the valuation of inventories, the Company’s effective income tax rate, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which are based upon the Company’s expectation of future taxable income and allowable deductions and the fair value calculations of stock-based compensation and earn-out liability. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition”)

Segment Reporting

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 280, “Segment Reporting,” the Company uses the management approach for determining its reportable segments. The management approach is based upon the way that management reviews performance and allocates resources. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, and his management team reviews operating results on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the financial performance of the Company. The Company has integrated the operations of both CPM and Maxim. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has one operating segment and, therefore, one reporting segment.

Reclassification

Upon further review the Company determined that its restricted shares should be considered legally outstanding but excluded from basic EPS and included in diluted EPS as the performance conditions have not been met.  Additionally, prior year common stock and additional paid in capital amounts have been reclassified by $31,111.  The impact to the financial statements was considered insignificant.

Earnings (loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per common share, basic is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2019, the Company excluded the effects of outstanding stock options as their effects were antidilutive due to the Company’s operating loss during these periods.  

For the year ended December 31, 2019, restricted common stock shares and common stock equivalents of 6,771,779 have been excluded from diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been antidilutive (see Note 10, for the terms and conditions of restricted stock).

F-8

The Company identified an error in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in its calculation of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. The comparative financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this immaterial correction.   The Company performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis and determined that the error was not material to the previously reported results for the year ended December 31, 2018.

	As Previously
	Reported			As Revised
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic		68,020,348			67,669,615
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - diluted		70,945,602			73,926,296
Net income (loss) per share - basic	$	(0.06	)	$	0.06
Net income (loss) per share - diluted	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is 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. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and 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 and liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

In connection with the CPM Acquisition, the Company initially recorded a $19,244,543 liability related to the Earn-Out portion of the purchase consideration. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition,” for further discussion of the Earn-Out liability.) The Company has classified the Earn-Out liability as a Level 3 liability and the fair value of the Earn-Out liability will be evaluated each reporting period and changes in its fair value will be included in the Company’s earnings. The Earn-Out payments are based on the financial performance of the Company between the period of January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2034. The base amount of the Earn-Out is $16,000,000 with an additional bonus payment of $10,000,000. The payments of the base and bonus Earn-Out amounts are subject to the Company meeting certain earnings thresholds as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Earn-Out payments during the Earn-Out period specified above, ranges from $0 to $26,000,000.

The fair value of the Earn-Out liability was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation, which was then applied to estimated Earn-Out payments with a discount rate of four percent (4%). To determine the fair value of the Earn-Out liability, the Company’s management evaluates assumptions that require significant judgement. Significant assumptions used for estimating the Earn-Out liability included gross margins of approximately forty-eight percent (48%), net income margins averaging nine percent (9%) per year, revenue growth of approximately five percent (5%) over a forecast horizon period of 11 years.

The Earn-Out liability, which represented contingent consideration associated with the CPM Acquisition, is recorded as a liability. This liability is subject to re-measurement to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved and the changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at each reporting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has determined the earnings threshold as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement was not met and therefore no payments for either the base or bonus Earn-Out tranches would be achieved, based on the Company’s 2019 and 2018 financial performance.

The Earn-Out was remeasured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result, the fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $1,936,164 from $13,581,529 to $11,645,365 in 2019 and reduced by $5,663,014 from $19,244,543 to $13,581,529 in 2018 and reflected as “Change in fair value of contingent purchase consideration” on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The recorded values of notes payable approximate their respective fair values based upon their effective interest rates.

F-9

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018. The Company’s cash is concentrated in two large financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any financial institution losses from inception through December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were deposits of $599,309 and $322,693, respectively, which were greater than federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and an allowance for contractual discount pricing. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition, industry reputation, and other judgmental factors considered by the Company’s management. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security interest to support accounts receivable. Based on trends and specific factors, the customer’s credit terms may be modified, including required payment upon delivery.

The Company performs regular on-going credit evaluations of its customers as deemed relevant. As events, trends, and circumstance, warrant, the Company’s management estimates the amounts that are more likely than not to be uncollectible. These amounts are recognized as bad debt expense and are reflected within selling, general, administrative and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying audited consolidated statement of operations.

When accounts are deemed uncollectible, they are often referred to the Company’s outside legal firm for litigation. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written-off in the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise has evaluated other circumstances that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts. Accounts deemed uncollectible are removed from the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio, with a corresponding offset to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The Company may record additional allowances for doubtful accounts based on known trends and expectations to ensure the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio is recorded at net realizable value. Specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional facts and information become available. Previously written-off accounts receivable subsequently collected are recognized as a reduction of bad debt expense when funds are received.

The Company’s management estimates its allowance for contractual discount pricing, by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customer is offered contractual pricing and discount allowances. In these arrangements, the Company’s management uses assumptions and judgement, based on the best available facts and circumstances to record a specific allowance for the amounts due from those customers. The allowance is offset by a corresponding reduction to revenue. These specific allowances are re-evaluated, analyzed, and adjusted as additional information becomes available to determine the total amount of the allowance. The Company may record additional allowances based on trends and expectations to ensure the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio is recorded at net realizable value.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (first-in, first-out) less an allowance for slow-moving inventory, expired inventory, and inventory obsolescence. Inventories consist entirely of finished goods and include internal and external fixation products; upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction; soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures; spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease, and deformity indications (collectively, Orthopedic Implants) and osteo-biologics and regenerative tissue which include human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (collectively, Biologics). The Company reviews the market value of inventories whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories may not be recoverable from the estimated future sales price less cost of disposal and normal gross profit. In cases where the market values are less than the carrying value, a write-down is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the net realizable value of inventories.

During 2019, the Company revised its estimate for slow moving and obsolete inventory. As a result, the Company’s management increased the inventory reserve for slow moving and obsolescence by $2,093,859, which is reflected in inventory and cost of revenues on the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively.

F-10

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets per the following table. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.   The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. 

Category	Amortization Period
Computer equipment	3 years
Furniture and fixtures	3 years
Office equipment	3 years
Software	3 years

Upon the retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed. A gain is recorded when consideration received is more than the disposed asset’s cost, net of depreciation, and a loss is recorded when consideration received is less than the disposed asset’s cost, net of depreciation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is determined based on an acquisition purchase price in excess of the fair value of identified net assets acquired. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means are amortized over their useful lives.  

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.  The Company performs its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performs the annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and in 2019, an impairment charge of $932,203 was recognized.   No goodwill impairment was recognized during 2018.

The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of acquired non-compete agreements and customer relationships. Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s expected useful life. (See Note 6, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional related disclosures.)

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are generated from the sales of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics to support orthopedic surgeries. The Company obtains purchase orders from its customers for the sale of its products which sets forth the general terms and conditions including line item pricing and payment terms (generally due upon receipt). The Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control over the assets (generally when the title passes upon shipment or when a product is utilized in a surgery) and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all the amounts due. Individual promised goods are the Company’s only performance obligation.

Products that have been sold are not subject to returns unless the product is deemed defective. Credits or refunds are recognized when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s management reduces revenue to account for estimates of the Company’s credits and refunds.

The Company includes shipping and handling fees in net revenues. Shipping and handling costs are associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold.

F-11

Revenue Differentiation

The Company measures sales volume based on medical procedures in which the Company’s products are sold and used (Cases). The Company considers Cases resulting from direct sales to medical facilities to be Retail Cases and Cases resulting from sales to third-parties, such as non-medical facilities, distributors, or sub-distributors, to be Wholesale Cases. Some of the Company’s sales for Wholesale Cases are on a consignment basis with a third-party. When consigned, the revenue is not recorded until the device is implanted in a patient during surgery.  In the Company’s industry, Retail Cases are typically sold at higher price points than Wholesale Cases, resulting in greater revenue and gross profit per Case.

Wholesale		3,817,716		6,009,076
Total	$	22,900,277	$	26,342,038

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of cost of goods sold, freight and shipping costs for items sold to customers, cost of storage, investment in medical instruments, which are expensed when acquired, inventory shrink, and an estimate for slow-moving, expired inventory, and inventory obsolescence.

Income Taxes

As a result of the CPM Acquisition, the Company became the sole managing member of CPM and as a result, began consolidating the financial results of CPM. CPM is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, CPM is not subject to U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. Any taxable income or loss generated by CPM is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of the Company. As a result of the Maxim Acquisition, the Company and Maxim will elect to file a consolidated tax return for the period after acquisition.

The Company uses the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income.

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.  For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro-rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the non-employee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date shall equal the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued, both effective and not yet effective.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve (12) months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company

F-12

adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company presently leases office space on a month to month basis as described in Note 12.  As such, the adoption of the standard was not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the goodwill carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective December 31, 2019, on a prospective basis.  Upon adoption, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $932,203.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by the Company’s management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. CPM Acquisition

On December 29, 2017, the Company completed the previously-announced CPM Acquisition, pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Company issued 50 million shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding membership interests of CPM, at an agreed-upon value of $0.20 per share of Common Stock, equaling a value of $10,000,000. The remaining $26,000,000 of the purchase price consideration will be paid by the Company to NC 143 in the form of contingent Earn-Out payments based on the Company achieving certain future profitability targets for years after 2017. The effective date of the CPM Acquisition was December 31, 2017 (the “CPM Effective Date”).

The Company recorded $19,244,543 as a contingent liability related to the fair value of the $26,000,000 Earn-Out liability at its fair value as of the CPM Effective Date, with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined the earnings threshold, as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement, were not met and therefore no payments for either the base or bonus Earn-Out tranches would be achieved, based on the Company’s 2019 and 2018 financial performance.

As of December 31, 2019, the Earn-Out was remeasured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result, the fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $1,936,164 from $13,581,529 to $11,645,365. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Earn-Out was re-measured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result, the initial fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $5,663,014 from $19,244,543 to $13,581,529.  The Company’s management will evaluate the estimated fair value of the Earn-Out liability annually. See “Note 2 Fair Value Measurements.”

The CPM Acquisition Agreement provides for a working capital post-closing adjustment (“CPM Post-Closing Adjustment”) for certain changes in CPM’s current assets and current liabilities pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The CPM Post-Closing Adjustment was calculated to be $397,463 and was paid in cash on June 27, 2018, to NC 143, with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4. Maxim Acquisition

On August 1, 2018, the Company completed the Maxim Acquisition pursuant to the Maxim Purchase Agreement between the Company, the Sellers and Tahernia as the representative of the Sellers. Before the Maxim Acquisition, Mr. Reeg served as Maxim’s President. (See Note 1, “Nature of Operations – Overview.”)

The Company issued 4,210,526 restricted shares of its Common Stock to the Sellers in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding Maxim Interests, at an agreed-upon value of $0.76 per share of Common Stock, which was equal to the 30-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock as of three (3) business days prior to the Maxim Closing Date.

The Company accounted for the Maxim Acquisition as a business combination and recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair values as of the Maxim Closing Date. The assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were recorded as of the Maxim Closing Date at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of the Company.

The Maxim Purchase Agreement provides for a working capital post-closing adjustment (“Maxim Post-Closing Adjustment”) based on the Maxim Closing Date balance sheet for certain changes in Maxim’s current assets and current liabilities pursuant to the Maxim Purchase Agreement. The Maxim Post-Closing Adjustment was calculated to be $81,757.

To finalize the Maxim Post-Closing Adjustment, the Company issued an aggregate of 120,231 restricted shares of Common Stock to the Sellers on October 4, 2018 at an agreed-upon value of $0.68 per share of Common Stock, which was equal to the 30-day VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock as of October 1, 2018.

The Company recorded the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the benefits the Company expects to realize by

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting units with its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting units was determined utilizing both a discounted cash flow and merger and acquisitions methodology in the conclusion of value. The carrying value exceeded its fair value and a goodwill impairment charge of $932,203 was recognized. There was no goodwill impairment during 2018.  

Note 7. Revolving Line of Credit

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases office space under a noncancelable operating lease agreement, from a real estate investments company that is owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman of the Board and President. This lease terminated December 31, 2017 with month-to-month renewals. The lease requires monthly payments of $14,000. Annual rent expense was approximately $168,000 and $168,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and is included in selling, general, administrative and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company leases office equipment under two noncancelable operating lease agreements which expire March 2021 and March 2024. In aggregate, these office equipment leases require monthly payments of approximately $849. Rent expense for the equipment leases totaled approximately $10,000 and $11,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in selling, general, administrative and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2019:

Year Ended December 31,
2020	$	10,184
2021		7,749
2022		7,261
2023		7,261
2024		1,210
	$	33,665

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

The 2018 Equity Plan is the Company’s stock-based compensation plan. The 2018 Equity Plan provides for the granting of equity awards, including qualified incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation awards, and restricted stock awards to employees, directors, consultants, and advisors. Awards granted pursuant to the 2018 Equity Plan are subject to a vesting schedule set forth in individual agreements.

The Company’s management estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes option pricing is calculated using several variables, including the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company’s management believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. The Company’s management estimates of fair value may not be reflective of actual future values or amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award.

The Company’s management utilizes the simplified method to estimate the expected life for stock options granted to employees, as the Company does not have sufficient historical data regarding stock option exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected life of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company’s management believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.  

F-16

The Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, versus estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest, in accordance with ASU 2016-09.

The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted to the Company’s product advisory board members, certain key employees, and marketing representatives during:

Assumptions	For the Year Ended December 31, 2019			For the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Expected term (years)		10.0			10.0
Expected volatility	105.35 - 118.52%				107.22	%
Weighted-average volatility		108.52	%		107.22	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.670	%		2.785	%
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected forfeiture rate	n/a			n/a

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Board granted 1,650,000 and 3,930,000, respectively, of non-qualified stock option awards (“NQSO”) to the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board members, certain key employees and marketing representatives. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company amortized $627,678 and $624,041 relating to the vesting of NQSOs, which is included in selling, general, administrative, and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company will recognize $1,127,547 as an expense in future periods as the NQSOs vest. The Company recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award, which are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in individual agreements.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2019 is presented below:

	No. of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance outstanding at December 31, 2018		3,915,000		$	0.78		7.00	$	443,000

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $.58.

Restricted Common Stock

The non-vested RSAs, as of December 31, 2019, were granted to the Company’s Board members as compensation. These awards vest only upon: (i) the occurrence of one of the Accelerating Events: (a) a Change in Control (as defined in RSA Agreement); or (b) listing of the Company’s Common Stock on either NYSE or NASDAQ Stock Market; and (ii) the director’s delivery to the Company of a Notice of Acceleration of Vesting (as defined in RSA Agreement), within the Acceleration Notice Period.

As of December 31, 2019, it was not probable that the performance conditions on the outstanding options would be met, therefore, no expense has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company amortized $210,888 relating to the vesting of RSAs, prior to the reissuance of the units with performance conditions, for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is included in selling, general, administrative, and other expenses, on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company began consolidating the financial results of CPM effective January 1, 2016, when the Company became the sole managing member of CPM. CPM is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income taxes. As a partnership, CPM is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Beginning January 1, 2018, taxable income or loss generated by CPM is passed through to the Company and is included in its taxable income or loss.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes.

The components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

Net deferred tax asset	$	-		$	760,993

A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company recorded a valuation allowance in 2019 due to the uncertainty of realization.  Management believes that based upon the history of losses that the Company has incurred to date and its projection of future taxable operating income for the foreseeable future, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit associated with the deferred tax assets.  The valuation allowance established during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,529,584. 

At December 31, 2019, the Company estimates it has approximately $1,776,327 of net operating loss carryforwards of which $899,331 which will expire during 2020 through 2037. The Company’s management believes its tax positions are more likely than not of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax positions. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s tax years 2016 through 2018 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has not received a notice of audit from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

A reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate to the effective income tax rate is as follows:

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2019			For the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate		21.0	%		21.0	%
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit		-0.6	%		1.1	%
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance		-60.3	%		0.0	%
Permanent differences		8.2	%		-32.8	%
Other reconciling items		0.9	%		-0.1	%
Effective income tax rate		-30.8	%		-10.8	%

Our effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were -30.8% and -10.8%, respectively. The decrease between years is driven by the valuation allowance allocated to the deferred tax asset for the current period.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through March 27, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. In the first several months of 2020, the virus, SARS-CoV-2, and resulting disease, COVID-19, spread to the United States, including to geographic locations in which the Company operates. As of the date above, the Company’s evaluation of the effects of the continuing outbreak of COVID-19 is ongoing.

A significant percentage of the Company’s products are utilized in elective surgeries or procedures. In March 2020, many city, state and local governments began issuing orders temporarily halting the performance of elective surgeries in order to better allocate medical supplies, resources and facilities to treatment of COVID-19 patients. These governmental jurisdictions include cities, counties and states in areas we serve.  As a result of these government orders, we have started to experience a reduction in demand for our products.  We anticipate that when these temporary orders are lifted, those patients, surgeons and hospital that had deferred elective procedures will then proceed with the deferred elective procedures in addition to performing elective procedures which will arise in the ordinary course after the temporary orders are lifted.  However, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic or how long the government orders will be in effect. Any extended prohibitions on elective procedures and subsequent decrease in demand for our products resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak would adversely affect our revenues and results of operation during that temporary prohibition period. We believe, however, that product demand will return to normal levels after the temporary orders are lifted and our end customers begin to address the backlog of elective surgeries in addition to ordinary course demand. The related financial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, however, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company’s management concluded there are no other material events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, CPM, and Maxim, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries of which the operations have been integrated with the Company. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the Company’s reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the valuation of inventories, the Company’s effective income tax rate, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which are based upon the Company’s expectation of future taxable income and allowable deductions and the fair value calculations of stock-based compensation and earn-out liability. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition”)

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 280, “Segment Reporting,” the Company uses the management approach for determining its reportable segments. The management approach is based upon the way that management reviews performance and allocates resources. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, and his management team reviews operating results on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the financial performance of the Company. The Company has integrated the operations of both CPM and Maxim. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has one operating segment and, therefore, one reporting segment.

Reclassification

Reclassification

Upon further review the Company determined that its restricted shares should be considered legally outstanding but excluded from basic EPS and included in diluted EPS as the performance conditions have not been met.  Additionally, prior year common stock and additional paid in capital amounts have been reclassified by $31,111.  The impact to the financial statements was considered insignificant.

Earnings (loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per common share, basic is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2019, the Company excluded the effects of outstanding stock options as their effects were antidilutive due to the Company’s operating loss during these periods.  

For the year ended December 31, 2019, restricted common stock shares and common stock equivalents of 6,771,779 have been excluded from diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been antidilutive (see Note 10, for the terms and conditions of restricted stock).

The Company identified an error in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in its calculation of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. The comparative financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this immaterial correction.   The Company performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis and determined that the error was not material to the previously reported results for the year ended December 31, 2018.

	As Previously
	Reported			As Revised
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic		68,020,348			67,669,615
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - diluted		70,945,602			73,926,296
Net income (loss) per share - basic	$	(0.06	)	$	0.06
Net income (loss) per share - diluted	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is 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. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and 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 and liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

In connection with the CPM Acquisition, the Company initially recorded a $19,244,543 liability related to the Earn-Out portion of the purchase consideration. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition,” for further discussion of the Earn-Out liability.) The Company has classified the Earn-Out liability as a Level 3 liability and the fair value of the Earn-Out liability will be evaluated each reporting period and changes in its fair value will be included in the Company’s earnings. The Earn-Out payments are based on the financial performance of the Company between the period of January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2034. The base amount of the Earn-Out is $16,000,000 with an additional bonus payment of $10,000,000. The payments of the base and bonus Earn-Out amounts are subject to the Company meeting certain earnings thresholds as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Earn-Out payments during the Earn-Out period specified above, ranges from $0 to $26,000,000.

The fair value of the Earn-Out liability was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation, which was then applied to estimated Earn-Out payments with a discount rate of four percent (4%). To determine the fair value of the Earn-Out liability, the Company’s management evaluates assumptions that require significant judgement. Significant assumptions used for estimating the Earn-Out liability included gross margins of approximately forty-eight percent (48%), net income margins averaging nine percent (9%) per year, revenue growth of approximately five percent (5%) over a forecast horizon period of 11 years.

The Earn-Out liability, which represented contingent consideration associated with the CPM Acquisition, is recorded as a liability. This liability is subject to re-measurement to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved and the changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at each reporting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has determined the earnings threshold as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement was not met and therefore no payments for either the base or bonus Earn-Out tranches would be achieved, based on the Company’s 2019 and 2018 financial performance.

The Earn-Out was remeasured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result, the fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $1,936,164 from $13,581,529 to $11,645,365 in 2019 and reduced by $5,663,014 from $19,244,543 to $13,581,529 in 2018 and reflected as “Change in fair value of contingent purchase consideration” on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The recorded values of notes payable approximate their respective fair values based upon their effective interest rates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018. The Company’s cash is concentrated in two large financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any financial institution losses from inception through December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were deposits of $599,309 and $322,693, respectively, which were greater than federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and an allowance for contractual discount pricing. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition, industry reputation, and other judgmental factors considered by the Company’s management. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security interest to support accounts receivable. Based on trends and specific factors, the customer’s credit terms may be modified, including required payment upon delivery.

The Company performs regular on-going credit evaluations of its customers as deemed relevant. As events, trends, and circumstance, warrant, the Company’s management estimates the amounts that are more likely than not to be uncollectible. These amounts are recognized as bad debt expense and are reflected within selling, general, administrative and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying audited consolidated statement of operations.

When accounts are deemed uncollectible, they are often referred to the Company’s outside legal firm for litigation. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written-off in the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise has evaluated other circumstances that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts. Accounts deemed uncollectible are removed from the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio, with a corresponding offset to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The Company may record additional allowances for doubtful accounts based on known trends and expectations to ensure the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio is recorded at net realizable value. Specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional facts and information become available. Previously written-off accounts receivable subsequently collected are recognized as a reduction of bad debt expense when funds are received.

The Company’s management estimates its allowance for contractual discount pricing, by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customer is offered contractual pricing and discount allowances. In these arrangements, the Company’s management uses assumptions and judgement, based on the best available facts and circumstances to record a specific allowance for the amounts due from those customers. The allowance is offset by a corresponding reduction to revenue. These specific allowances are re-evaluated, analyzed, and adjusted as additional information becomes available to determine the total amount of the allowance. The Company may record additional allowances based on trends and expectations to ensure the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio is recorded at net realizable value.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (first-in, first-out) less an allowance for slow-moving inventory, expired inventory, and inventory obsolescence. Inventories consist entirely of finished goods and include internal and external fixation products; upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction; soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures; spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease, and deformity indications (collectively, Orthopedic Implants) and osteo-biologics and regenerative tissue which include human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (collectively, Biologics). The Company reviews the market value of inventories whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories may not be recoverable from the estimated future sales price less cost of disposal and normal gross profit. In cases where the market values are less than the carrying value, a write-down is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the net realizable value of inventories.

During 2019, the Company revised its estimate for slow moving and obsolete inventory. As a result, the Company’s management increased the inventory reserve for slow moving and obsolescence by $2,093,859, which is reflected in inventory and cost of revenues on the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets per the following table. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.   The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. 

Category	Amortization Period
Computer equipment	3 years
Furniture and fixtures	3 years
Office equipment	3 years
Software	3 years

Upon the retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed. A gain is recorded when consideration received is more than the disposed asset’s cost, net of depreciation, and a loss is recorded when consideration received is less than the disposed asset’s cost, net of depreciation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is determined based on an acquisition purchase price in excess of the fair value of identified net assets acquired. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means are amortized over their useful lives.  

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.  The Company performs its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performs the annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and in 2019, an impairment charge of $932,203 was recognized.   No goodwill impairment was recognized during 2018.

The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of acquired non-compete agreements and customer relationships. Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s expected useful life. (See Note 6, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional related disclosures.)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are generated from the sales of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics to support orthopedic surgeries. The Company obtains purchase orders from its customers for the sale of its products which sets forth the general terms and conditions including line item pricing and payment terms (generally due upon receipt). The Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control over the assets (generally when the title passes upon shipment or when a product is utilized in a surgery) and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all the amounts due. Individual promised goods are the Company’s only performance obligation.

Products that have been sold are not subject to returns unless the product is deemed defective. Credits or refunds are recognized when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s management reduces revenue to account for estimates of the Company’s credits and refunds.

The Company includes shipping and handling fees in net revenues. Shipping and handling costs are associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold.

Revenue Differentiation

The Company measures sales volume based on medical procedures in which the Company’s products are sold and used (Cases). The Company considers Cases resulting from direct sales to medical facilities to be Retail Cases and Cases resulting from sales to third-parties, such as non-medical facilities, distributors, or sub-distributors, to be Wholesale Cases. Some of the Company’s sales for Wholesale Cases are on a consignment basis with a third-party. When consigned, the revenue is not recorded until the device is implanted in a patient during surgery.  In the Company’s industry, Retail Cases are typically sold at higher price points than Wholesale Cases, resulting in greater revenue and gross profit per Case.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of cost of goods sold, freight and shipping costs for items sold to customers, cost of storage, investment in medical instruments, which are expensed when acquired, inventory shrink, and an estimate for slow-moving, expired inventory, and inventory obsolescence.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

As a result of the CPM Acquisition, the Company became the sole managing member of CPM and as a result, began consolidating the financial results of CPM. CPM is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, CPM is not subject to U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. Any taxable income or loss generated by CPM is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of the Company. As a result of the Maxim Acquisition, the Company and Maxim will elect to file a consolidated tax return for the period after acquisition.

The Company uses the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income.

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.  For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro-rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the non-employee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date shall equal the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued, both effective and not yet effective.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve (12) months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company presently leases office space on a month to month basis as described in Note 12.  As such, the adoption of the standard was not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the goodwill carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective December 31, 2019, on a prospective basis.  Upon adoption, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $932,203.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by the Company’s management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company began consolidating the financial results of CPM effective January 1, 2016, when the Company became the sole managing member of CPM. CPM is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income taxes. As a partnership, CPM is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Beginning January 1, 2018, taxable income or loss generated by CPM is passed through to the Company and is included in its taxable income or loss.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes.

The components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2019		For the Year Ended December 31, 2018

A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company recorded a valuation allowance in 2019 due to the uncertainty of realization.  Management believes that based upon the history of losses that the Company has incurred to date and its projection of future taxable operating income for the foreseeable future, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize the tax benefit associated with the deferred tax assets.  The valuation allowance established during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,529,584. 

At December 31, 2019, the Company estimates it has approximately $1,776,327 of net operating loss carryforwards of which $899,331 which will expire during 2020 through 2037. The Company’s management believes its tax positions are more likely than not of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for unrecognized tax positions. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s tax years 2016 through 2018 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has not received a notice of audit from the IRS for any of the open tax years.

A reconciliation of income tax computed at the U.S. statutory rate to the effective income tax rate is as follows:

	For the Year Ended December 31, 2019			For the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate		21.0	%		21.0	%
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit		-0.6	%		1.1	%
Deferred tax asset valuation allowance		-60.3	%		0.0	%
Permanent differences		8.2	%		-32.8	%
Other reconciling items		0.9	%		-0.1	%
Effective income tax rate		-30.8	%		-10.8	%

Our effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were -30.8% and -10.8%, respectively. The decrease between years is driven by the valuation allowance allocated to the deferred tax asset for the current period.

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $81,420 and $33,925 respectively.

The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of acquired non-compete agreements, product technology and customer relationships.

The following is a schedule by year of the Company’s future amortization expense related to the finite-live intangible assets as of December 31, 2019:

Year Ended December 31,
2020	$	68,544
2021		50,529

	$	502,240

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting units with its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting units was determined utilizing both a discounted cash flow and merger and acquisitions methodology in the conclusion of value. The carrying value exceeded its fair value and a goodwill impairment charge of $932,203 was recognized. There was no goodwill impairment during 2018.

Stockholders Equity Deficit [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity

The 2018 Equity Plan is the Company’s stock-based compensation plan. The 2018 Equity Plan provides for the granting of equity awards, including qualified incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation awards, and restricted stock awards to employees, directors, consultants, and advisors. Awards granted pursuant to the 2018 Equity Plan are subject to a vesting schedule set forth in individual agreements.

The Company’s management estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes option pricing is calculated using several variables, including the expected option term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected option term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term, and an estimate of expected forfeiture rates. The Company’s management believes this valuation methodology is appropriate for estimating the fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors which are subject to ASC Topic 718 requirements. The Company’s management estimates of fair value may not be reflective of actual future values or amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. The Company recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award.

The Company’s management utilizes the simplified method to estimate the expected life for stock options granted to employees, as the Company does not have sufficient historical data regarding stock option exercises. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yields with terms equivalent to the expected life of the related option at the time of the grant. Dividend yield is based on historical trends. While the Company’s management believes these estimates are reasonable, the compensation expense recorded would increase if the expected life was increased, a higher expected volatility was used, or if the expected dividend yield increased.  The Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, versus estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest, in accordance with ASU 2016-09.

The following table summarizes the assumptions the Company utilized to record compensation expense for stock options granted to the Company’s product advisory board members, certain key employees, and marketing representatives during:

Assumptions	For the Year Ended December 31, 2019			For the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Expected term (years)		10.0			10.0
Expected volatility	105.35 - 118.52%				107.22	%
Weighted-average volatility		108.52	%		107.22	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.670	%		2.785	%
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected forfeiture rate	n/a			n/a

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Board granted 1,650,000 and 3,930,000, respectively, of non-qualified stock option awards (“NQSO”) to the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board members, certain key employees and marketing representatives. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company amortized $627,678 and $624,041 relating to the vesting of NQSOs, which is included in selling, general, administrative, and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The Company will recognize $1,127,547 as an expense in future periods as the NQSOs vest. The Company recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award, which are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in individual agreements.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2019 is presented below:

	No. of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance outstanding at December 31, 2018		3,915,000		$	0.78		7.00	$	443,000

Exercisable at December 31, 2019		1,734,999		$	0.50		3.71	$	-

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $.58.

Restricted Common Stock

The non-vested RSAs, as of December 31, 2019, were granted to the Company’s Board members as compensation. These awards vest only upon: (i) the occurrence of one of the Accelerating Events: (a) a Change in Control (as defined in RSA Agreement); or (b) listing of the Company’s Common Stock on either NYSE or NASDAQ Stock Market; and (ii) the director’s delivery to the Company of a Notice of Acceleration of Vesting (as defined in RSA Agreement), within the Acceleration Notice Period.

As of December 31, 2019, it was not probable that the performance conditions on the outstanding options would be met, therefore, no expense has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company amortized $210,888 relating to the vesting of RSAs, prior to the reissuance of the units with performance conditions, for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is included in selling, general, administrative, and other expenses, on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The following table summarizes the RSAs activity for the year ended December 31, 2019:

Nature of Operations

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Overview

The Company was initially incorporated in 1968 as American Metals Service, Inc., a Florida corporation. In July 1999, American Metals Service, Inc. changed its name to GolfRounds, Inc. and was redomiciled to Delaware through a merger. Effective May 28, 2014, GolfRounds amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name to Fuse Medical, Inc., and Fuse Medical, LLC, an unrelated entity, merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc., with Fuse Medical, LLC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger. The Company was the legal acquirer, and Fuse Medical, LLC was deemed the accounting acquirer. During 2015, certificates of termination were filed for Fuse Medical, LLC and its two subsidiaries.  

On December 19, 2016, the Change-in-Control Date, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Company, NC 143 which is controlled by Mr. Brooks, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and President; and RMI, which is owned and controlled by Mr. Reeg, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary. The closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement resulted in a change-in-control of the Company whereby the Mr. Brooks and Mr. Reeg beneficially acquired approximately 61.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, immediately after the Change-in-Control Date.

On December 31, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CPM pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. Subsequent to the Change-in-Control Date, CPM and Company operations are consolidated. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition”)

On August 1, 2018, the Maxim Closing Date, the Company completed the acquisition of Maxim Surgical, pursuant to the Maxim Purchase Agreement. As of the Maxim Closing Date, Maxim and Company operations are consolidated. (See Note 4, “Maxim Acquisition”),

Nature of Business

The Company is a manufacturer, distributor, and wholesaler of medical device implants, offering a broad portfolio of Orthopedic Implants including: (i) internal and external fixation products; (ii) upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction implants; (iii) soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures; (iv) full spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease and deformity indications; and (v) a wide array of osteo-biologics, regenerative tissues and amniotic tissue, which include human allografts, substitute bone materials, and tendons and regenerative tissues and fluids. All of the Company’s medical devices are approved by the FDA for sale in the United States, and all of the Company’s Biologics suppliers are licensed tissue banks accredited by the American Association of Tissue Banks.

The Company’s broad portfolio of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics provide high-quality products to assist surgeons with positive patient outcomes and cost-effective solutions for its customers, which include hospitals, medical facilities, and sub-distributors. The Company operates under exclusive and non-exclusive agreements with certain vendors and supply partners in the geographic territories the Company serves.

The Company continuously reviews and expands its product lines to ensure that they offer a comprehensive, high-quality and cost-effective selection of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics so that the Company can be more relevant to its customer needs while continuing to grow its existing customer base. Additionally, the Company continues to grow its manufacturing operations, both by internal product development as well as the acquisition of existing FDA approved devices.

Going Concern

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. Through December 31, 2019, the Company has accumulated losses of $2,595,813 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,222,133.  Revenue declined by $3,441,761 in 2019 as the result of competitive pressures.  The Company was out of compliance with its loan covenants at various times during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and obtained waivers from the lender to cure the violations, but had reductions of the credit facility amount as a result of the covenant violations.  The Company’s management has determined that these conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year beyond the date of this filing is dependent upon the Company’s (i) successful execution of key rebranding initiatives, (ii) introduction, commercialization and sales of new proprietary products and product lines, (iii) increased sale of existing products, with strategic emphasis on selling more Retail Cases and increasing the percentage of Retail Cases sold as a percentage of all Cases sold by the Company, and (iv) continued cost reductions. Additionally, the Company will need to refinance its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“RLOC”) with ZB, N.A., d/b/a Amegy Bank (“Amegy Bank”) with a new credit facility on commercially reasonable terms, or obtain equity financing.

The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent Events

Note 13. Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through March 27, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. In the first several months of 2020, the virus, SARS-CoV-2, and resulting disease, COVID-19, spread to the United States, including to geographic locations in which the Company operates. As of the date above, the Company’s evaluation of the effects of the continuing outbreak of COVID-19 is ongoing.

A significant percentage of the Company’s products are utilized in elective surgeries or procedures. In March 2020, many city, state and local governments began issuing orders temporarily halting the performance of elective surgeries in order to better allocate medical supplies, resources and facilities to treatment of COVID-19 patients. These governmental jurisdictions include cities, counties and states in areas we serve.  As a result of these government orders, we have started to experience a reduction in demand for our products.  We anticipate that when these temporary orders are lifted, those patients, surgeons and hospital that had deferred elective procedures will then proceed with the deferred elective procedures in addition to performing elective procedures which will arise in the ordinary course after the temporary orders are lifted.  However, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic or how long the government orders will be in effect. Any extended prohibitions on elective procedures and subsequent decrease in demand for our products resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak would adversely affect our revenues and results of operation during that temporary prohibition period. We believe, however, that product demand will return to normal levels after the temporary orders are lifted and our end customers begin to address the backlog of elective surgeries in addition to ordinary course demand. The related financial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, however, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The Company’s management concluded there are no other material events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure.

Acquisition

Note 4. Maxim Acquisition

On August 1, 2018, the Company completed the Maxim Acquisition pursuant to the Maxim Purchase Agreement between the Company, the Sellers and Tahernia as the representative of the Sellers. Before the Maxim Acquisition, Mr. Reeg served as Maxim’s President. (See Note 1, “Nature of Operations – Overview.”)

The Company issued 4,210,526 restricted shares of its Common Stock to the Sellers in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding Maxim Interests, at an agreed-upon value of $0.76 per share of Common Stock, which was equal to the 30-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock as of three (3) business days prior to the Maxim Closing Date.

The Company accounted for the Maxim Acquisition as a business combination and recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair values as of the Maxim Closing Date. The assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were recorded as of the Maxim Closing Date at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of the Company.

The Maxim Purchase Agreement provides for a working capital post-closing adjustment (“Maxim Post-Closing Adjustment”) based on the Maxim Closing Date balance sheet for certain changes in Maxim’s current assets and current liabilities pursuant to the Maxim Purchase Agreement. The Maxim Post-Closing Adjustment was calculated to be $81,757.

To finalize the Maxim Post-Closing Adjustment, the Company issued an aggregate of 120,231 restricted shares of Common Stock to the Sellers on October 4, 2018 at an agreed-upon value of $0.68 per share of Common Stock, which was equal to the 30-day VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock as of October 1, 2018.

The Company recorded the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is primarily attributable to the benefits the Company expects to realize by expanding its product offerings and addressable markets, thereby contributing to an expanded revenue base. The results of Maxim operations are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations subsequent to the Maxim Closing Date.

The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information presents the consolidated results of operations for the Company as if the Maxim Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018. The pro forma results are shown for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been reported if the Maxim Acquisition had occurred on the date indicated or indicative of the results that may occur in the future.

Unaudited pro forma information for the year ended December 31, 2018 is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2018 - Unaudited

Acquisition

Note 3. CPM Acquisition

On December 29, 2017, the Company completed the previously-announced CPM Acquisition, pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Company issued 50 million shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, in exchange for one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding membership interests of CPM, at an agreed-upon value of $0.20 per share of Common Stock, equaling a value of $10,000,000. The remaining $26,000,000 of the purchase price consideration will be paid by the Company to NC 143 in the form of contingent Earn-Out payments based on the Company achieving certain future profitability targets for years after 2017. The effective date of the CPM Acquisition was December 31, 2017 (the “CPM Effective Date”).

The Company recorded $19,244,543 as a contingent liability related to the fair value of the $26,000,000 Earn-Out liability at its fair value as of the CPM Effective Date, with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company determined the earnings threshold, as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement, were not met and therefore no payments for either the base or bonus Earn-Out tranches would be achieved, based on the Company’s 2019 and 2018 financial performance.

As of December 31, 2019, the Earn-Out was remeasured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result, the fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $1,936,164 from $13,581,529 to $11,645,365. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Earn-Out was re-measured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result, the initial fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $5,663,014 from $19,244,543 to $13,581,529.  The Company’s management will evaluate the estimated fair value of the Earn-Out liability annually. See “Note 2 Fair Value Measurements.”

The CPM Acquisition Agreement provides for a working capital post-closing adjustment (“CPM Post-Closing Adjustment”) for certain changes in CPM’s current assets and current liabilities pursuant to the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The CPM Post-Closing Adjustment was calculated to be $397,463 and was paid in cash on June 27, 2018, to NC 143, with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Schedule of Revenue Differentiation

The Company measures sales volume based on medical procedures in which the Company’s products are sold and used (Cases). The Company considers Cases resulting from direct sales to medical facilities to be Retail Cases and Cases resulting from sales to third-parties, such as non-medical facilities, distributors, or sub-distributors, to be Wholesale Cases. Some of the Company’s sales for Wholesale Cases are on a consignment basis with a third-party. When consigned, the revenue is not recorded until the device is implanted in a patient during surgery.  In the Company’s industry, Retail Cases are typically sold at higher price points than Wholesale Cases, resulting in greater revenue and gross profit per Case.

Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, CPM, and Maxim, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries of which the operations have been integrated with the Company. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the Company’s reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the valuation of inventories, the Company’s effective income tax rate, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which are based upon the Company’s expectation of future taxable income and allowable deductions and the fair value calculations of stock-based compensation and earn-out liability. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition”)

Segment Reporting

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 280, “Segment Reporting,” the Company uses the management approach for determining its reportable segments. The management approach is based upon the way that management reviews performance and allocates resources. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Company’s chief operating decision maker, and his management team reviews operating results on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the financial performance of the Company. The Company has integrated the operations of both CPM and Maxim. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has one operating segment and, therefore, one reporting segment.

Reclassification

Upon further review the Company determined that its restricted shares should be considered legally outstanding but excluded from basic EPS and included in diluted EPS as the performance conditions have not been met.  Additionally, prior year common stock and additional paid in capital amounts have been reclassified by $31,111.  The impact to the financial statements was considered insignificant.

Earnings (loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per common share, basic is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2019, the Company excluded the effects of outstanding stock options as their effects were antidilutive due to the Company’s operating loss during these periods.  

For the year ended December 31, 2019, restricted common stock shares and common stock equivalents of 6,771,779 have been excluded from diluted earnings per share because to include them would have been antidilutive (see Note 10, for the terms and conditions of restricted stock).

The Company identified an error in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in its calculation of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. The comparative financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this immaterial correction.   The Company performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis and determined that the error was not material to the previously reported results for the year ended December 31, 2018.

	As Previously
	Reported			As Revised
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic		68,020,348			67,669,615

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is 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. The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and 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 and liabilities; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

In connection with the CPM Acquisition, the Company initially recorded a $19,244,543 liability related to the Earn-Out portion of the purchase consideration. (See Note 3, “CPM Acquisition,” for further discussion of the Earn-Out liability.) The Company has classified the Earn-Out liability as a Level 3 liability and the fair value of the Earn-Out liability will be evaluated each reporting period and changes in its fair value will be included in the Company’s earnings. The Earn-Out payments are based on the financial performance of the Company between the period of January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2034. The base amount of the Earn-Out is $16,000,000 with an additional bonus payment of $10,000,000. The payments of the base and bonus Earn-Out amounts are subject to the Company meeting certain earnings thresholds as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement. The Earn-Out payments during the Earn-Out period specified above, ranges from $0 to $26,000,000.

The fair value of the Earn-Out liability was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation, which was then applied to estimated Earn-Out payments with a discount rate of four percent (4%). To determine the fair value of the Earn-Out liability, the Company’s management evaluates assumptions that require significant judgement. Significant assumptions used for estimating the Earn-Out liability included gross margins of approximately forty-eight percent (48%), net income margins averaging nine percent (9%) per year, revenue growth of approximately five percent (5%) over a forecast horizon period of 11 years.

The Earn-Out liability, which represented contingent consideration associated with the CPM Acquisition, is recorded as a liability. This liability is subject to re-measurement to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved and the changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at each reporting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has determined the earnings threshold as detailed in the CPM Acquisition Agreement was not met and therefore no payments for either the base or bonus Earn-Out tranches would be achieved, based on the Company’s 2019 and 2018 financial performance.

The Earn-Out was remeasured to fair value under the probability weighted income approach. As a result, the fair value of the Earn-Out liability was reduced by $1,936,164 from $13,581,529 to $11,645,365 in 2019 and reduced by $5,663,014 from $19,244,543 to $13,581,529 in 2018 and reflected as “Change in fair value of contingent purchase consideration” on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The recorded values of notes payable approximate their respective fair values based upon their effective interest rates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018. The Company’s cash is concentrated in two large financial institutions that at times may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any financial institution losses from inception through December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were deposits of $599,309 and $322,693, respectively, which were greater than federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and an allowance for contractual discount pricing. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition, industry reputation, and other judgmental factors considered by the Company’s management. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security interest to support accounts receivable. Based on trends and specific factors, the customer’s credit terms may be modified, including required payment upon delivery.

The Company performs regular on-going credit evaluations of its customers as deemed relevant. As events, trends, and circumstance, warrant, the Company’s management estimates the amounts that are more likely than not to be uncollectible. These amounts are recognized as bad debt expense and are reflected within selling, general, administrative and other expenses on the Company’s accompanying audited consolidated statement of operations.

When accounts are deemed uncollectible, they are often referred to the Company’s outside legal firm for litigation. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written-off in the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise has evaluated other circumstances that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts. Accounts deemed uncollectible are removed from the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio, with a corresponding offset to the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The Company may record additional allowances for doubtful accounts based on known trends and expectations to ensure the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio is recorded at net realizable value. Specific allowances are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional facts and information become available. Previously written-off accounts receivable subsequently collected are recognized as a reduction of bad debt expense when funds are received.

The Company’s management estimates its allowance for contractual discount pricing, by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customer is offered contractual pricing and discount allowances. In these arrangements, the Company’s management uses assumptions and judgement, based on the best available facts and circumstances to record a specific allowance for the amounts due from those customers. The allowance is offset by a corresponding reduction to revenue. These specific allowances are re-evaluated, analyzed, and adjusted as additional information becomes available to determine the total amount of the allowance. The Company may record additional allowances based on trends and expectations to ensure the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio is recorded at net realizable value.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (first-in, first-out) less an allowance for slow-moving inventory, expired inventory, and inventory obsolescence. Inventories consist entirely of finished goods and include internal and external fixation products; upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction; soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures; spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease, and deformity indications (collectively, Orthopedic Implants) and osteo-biologics and regenerative tissue which include human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (collectively, Biologics). The Company reviews the market value of inventories whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories may not be recoverable from the estimated future sales price less cost of disposal and normal gross profit. In cases where the market values are less than the carrying value, a write-down is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the net realizable value of inventories.

During 2019, the Company revised its estimate for slow moving and obsolete inventory. As a result, the Company’s management increased the inventory reserve for slow moving and obsolescence by $2,093,859, which is reflected in inventory and cost of revenues on the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets per the following table. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.   The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. 

Category	Amortization Period
Computer equipment	3 years
Furniture and fixtures	3 years
Office equipment	3 years
Software	3 years

Upon the retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed. A gain is recorded when consideration received is more than the disposed asset’s cost, net of depreciation, and a loss is recorded when consideration received is less than the disposed asset’s cost, net of depreciation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is determined based on an acquisition purchase price in excess of the fair value of identified net assets acquired. Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means are amortized over their useful lives.  

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.  The Company performs its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company performs the annual assessment of the recoverability of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and in 2019, an impairment charge of $932,203 was recognized.   No goodwill impairment was recognized during 2018.

The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of acquired non-compete agreements and customer relationships. Amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s expected useful life. (See Note 6, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional related disclosures.)

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues are generated from the sales of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics to support orthopedic surgeries. The Company obtains purchase orders from its customers for the sale of its products which sets forth the general terms and conditions including line item pricing and payment terms (generally due upon receipt). The Company recognizes revenue when its customers obtain control over the assets (generally when the title passes upon shipment or when a product is utilized in a surgery) and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all the amounts due. Individual promised goods are the Company’s only performance obligation.

Products that have been sold are not subject to returns unless the product is deemed defective. Credits or refunds are recognized when they are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s management reduces revenue to account for estimates of the Company’s credits and refunds.

The Company includes shipping and handling fees in net revenues. Shipping and handling costs are associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold.

Revenue Differentiation

The Company measures sales volume based on medical procedures in which the Company’s products are sold and used (Cases). The Company considers Cases resulting from direct sales to medical facilities to be Retail Cases and Cases resulting from sales to third-parties, such as non-medical facilities, distributors, or sub-distributors, to be Wholesale Cases. Some of the Company’s sales for Wholesale Cases are on a consignment basis with a third-party. When consigned, the revenue is not recorded until the device is implanted in a patient during surgery.  In the Company’s industry, Retail Cases are typically sold at higher price points than Wholesale Cases, resulting in greater revenue and gross profit per Case.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of cost of goods sold, freight and shipping costs for items sold to customers, cost of storage, investment in medical instruments, which are expensed when acquired, inventory shrink, and an estimate for slow-moving, expired inventory, and inventory obsolescence.

Income Taxes

As a result of the CPM Acquisition, the Company became the sole managing member of CPM and as a result, began consolidating the financial results of CPM. CPM is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, CPM is not subject to U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. Any taxable income or loss generated by CPM is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of the Company. As a result of the Maxim Acquisition, the Company and Maxim will elect to file a consolidated tax return for the period after acquisition.

The Company uses the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income.

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.  For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro-rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the non-employee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date shall equal the fair value of the stock-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued, both effective and not yet effective.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve (12) months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company presently leases office space on a month to month basis as described in Note 12.  As such, the adoption of the standard was not material.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the goodwill carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective December 31, 2019, on a prospective basis.  Upon adoption, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $932,203.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by the Company’s management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
