BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” “Apyx,” and similar terms refer to Apyx Medical Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We are an advanced energy technology company with a passion for elevating people’s lives through innovative products in the cosmetic and surgical markets. Known for our innovative Helium Plasma Technology, Apyx is solely focused on bringing transformative solutions to the physicians and patients it serves. Our Helium Plasma Technology is marketed and sold as Renuvion® in the cosmetic surgery market and J-Plasma® in the hospital surgical market. Renuvion® offers plastic surgeons, fascial plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians a unique ability to provide controlled heat to the tissue to achieve their desired results. The J-Plasma® system allows surgeons to operate with a high level of precision and virtually eliminating unintended tissue trauma. We also leverage our deep expertise and decades of experience in unique waveforms through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, as a pandemic. This pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes. The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict as the environment created by the pandemic is rapidly changing, however, during the last couple of months, the effects of the pandemic has been material and adverse on our business. We currently expect that the severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the our customers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Most of the procedures performed using our Helium Plasma Technology are elective, and as a result many of our customers have been affected by the actions taken by various governmental authorities requiring non-essential businesses to shut down temporarily. There is a significant amount of uncertainty as to when these actions will be lifted and when patients will choose to undergo elective cosmetic procedures once our customers’ practices are allowed to re-open. Substantially all of these procedures are performed outside of hospitals in the US, and it is possible that patients will be responsive to scheduling appointments sooner. In international markets, a greater portion of these procedures are performed in a hospital, and it is less certain when elective procedures will return to normal. Policymakers have also responded to COVID-19 with fiscal policy actions to support companies effected by the pandemic. While we have started to experience a significant decline in sales towards the end of our first fiscal quarter, as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely impact the Company's financial position, liquidity, or results of operations remains uncertain. We are experiencing a significant decline in sales domestically and internationally, and we expect the decline to continue into the second quarter and possibly beyond.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of consolidated operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
