NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

Zynex, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) has its headquarters in Englewood, Colorado.  We operate one primary business segment, medical devices which include Electrotherapy and Pain Management Products. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s only active subsidiary is Zynex Medical, Inc. (“ZMI,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation) through which the Company conducts most of its operations. One other subsidiary, Zynex Europe, ApS (“ZEU,” a wholly-owned Denmark corporation), did not generate material revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 from international sales and marketing. Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc. (“ZMS,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation) has developed a blood volume monitoring device, but it is awaiting approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) as well as CE Marking in Europe, therefore, ZMS has achieved no revenues to date.

 

The term “the Company” refers to Zynex, Inc. and its active and inactive subsidiaries.

 

Nature of Business

 

ZMI designs, manufactures and markets medical devices that treat chronic and acute pain, as well as activate and exercise muscles for rehabilitative purposes with electrical stimulation. ZMI devices are intended for pain management to reduce reliance on drugs and medications and provide rehabilitation and increased mobility through the utilization of non-invasive muscle stimulation, electromyography technology, interferential current (“IFC”), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (“NMES”) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (“TENS”). All our medical devices are intended to be patient friendly and designed for home use. The ZMI devices are small, portable, battery operated and include an electrical pulse generator which is connected to the body via electrodes. All of our medical devices are marketed in the U.S. and are subject to FDA regulation and approval.  Our products require a physician’s prescription before they can be dispensed in the U.S. ZMI’s primary product is the NexWave device.  The NexWave is marketed to physicians and therapists by our field sales representatives.   The NexWave requires consumable supplies, such as electrodes and batteries, which are shipped to patients on a recurring monthly basis, as needed.  

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company generated substantially all of its revenue (99.99%) in North America from sales and supplies of its devices to patients and health care providers.

 

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. A description of the Company’s accounting policies and other financial information is included in the audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Amounts as of December 31, 2017, are derived from those audited consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which has previously been filed with the SEC.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zynex, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

Non-controlling interest in the equity of a subsidiary is accounted for and reported as stockholders’ equity. Non-controlling interest represents the 20% ownership in the Company’s majority-owned (but currently inactive) subsidiary, ZBC.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 financial statements to conform to the consolidated 2018 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.

 

We reclassified amounts between device and supplies revenue for all of the quarters ended during 2017. The change was due to enhanced information which allowed us to perform a more detailed analysis of revenue and the related classifications. The reclassification did not change total net revenue.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant management estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are associated with the allowance for billing adjustments and uncollectible accounts receivable, the reserve for obsolete and damaged inventory, stock-based compensation, and valuation of long-lived assets and realizability of deferred tax assets.

 

Revenue Recognition, Allowance for Billing Adjustments and Collectability

 

On January 1, 2018 the company adopted the new accounting standard on revenue recognition issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Pursuant to the revenue from contracts with customer’s standards the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled, known as the transaction price. The company elected to use the modified retrospective method which resulted in immaterial changes to previously issued financial statements and retained earnings.

 

Revenue is generated primarily from sales in the United States of our electrotherapy devices and associated supplies. Sales are primarily made with, and shipped, direct to the patient with a small amount of revenue generated from sales to distributors. Revenue is recognized on medical devices when we receive notice that the device has been prescribed by a doctor and delivered to the patient. Supplies revenue is recognized once delivered to the patient. Supplies needed for the device can be set up as a recurring shipment or ordered thru the customer support team or online store as needed.

 

Being in the healthcare industry there is often a third party involved that will pay on the patients behalf. The terms of the separate arrangement can impact certain aspects of the contracts, with patients covered by third party payors, such as performance obligations and transaction price, but for purposes of revenue recognition the contract with the customer refers to the arrangement between the Company and the patient. The company does not report any deferred revenue as each performance obligation is met upon delivery of goods to the patient. There are no substantial costs incurred through support or warranty obligations.

 

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are derived, and the related receivables are due, from a commercial health insurance or government agency (collectively “Third-party Payors”). Transaction price is estimated with variable consideration using the most likely amount technique for Third-party Payor reimbursement deductions, known throughout the health care industry as “billing adjustments” whereby the Third-party Payors unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse for the Company’s products, refund requests, and for the timing and values of amounts to be billed. Supplies are billed only upon shipment. Devices can be billed upon shipment or over billing cycles. Billing cycles can be over a variable period and are estimated in amounts such that the likelihood that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. Roughly 15% of total revenue and 66% of device revenue are billed in cycles. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised as additional information becomes available and constraints are released. Specifically, the complexity of third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain products from payors or unanticipated requirements to refund payments previously received may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Due to continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, as well as changes in our billing practices to increase cash collections, it is possible our forecasting model to estimate collections could change, which could have an impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Any differences between estimated settlements and final determinations are reflected as an increase or a reduction to revenue in the period when such final determinations are known.

 

The basis of estimates include historical rates of collection, the aging of the receivables, trends in the historical reimbursement rates by insurance groups, determined using the portfolio approach, and current relationships and experience with the Third-party Payors. A change in the way estimates are determined can result from a number of factors, including experience and training of billing personnel, changes in the reimbursement policies or practices of Third-party Payors, or changes in industry rates of reimbursement. The company monitors the variability and uncertain timing over payor groups in our portfolios. If there is a change in our payor mix over time, it could affect our net revenue and related receivables. We believe we have a sufficient history of collection experience to estimate the net collectible amounts by payor. However, changes to the allowance for billing adjustments, which are recorded as a reduction of transaction price, have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

The Company frequently receives refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in the Company’s industry. These requests are sometimes related to a limited number of patients or products; at other times, they include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. The Company reviews and evaluates these requests and determines if any refund request is appropriate. The Company also reviews these refund claims when it is rebilling or pursuing reimbursement from insurance providers. The Company frequently has significant offsets against such refund requests, and sometimes amounts are due to the Company in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests, the Company is generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid and should be accrued. Such refunds are recorded when the amount is fixed and determinable, however management maintains an allowance for estimated future refunds which we believe is sufficient to cover future claims in connection with its estimates of variable consideration recorded at the time sales are recorded.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and income taxes, for which current carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Financial instruments also included the notes payable related to our private placement and capitalized leases, the carrying value of which approximates fair value because the interest rates on the outstanding borrowings are at rates that approximate market rates for borrowings with similar terms and average maturities.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory, which primarily represents parts and supplies, are valued at the lower of cost (average) or market.

 

The Company monitors inventory for turnover and obsolescence and records losses for excess and obsolete inventory, as appropriate. The Company provides reserves for estimated excess and obsolete inventories equal to the difference between the costs of inventories on hand and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand. If future demand is less favorable than currently projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

 

Total gross inventories at March 31, 2018 were $0.7 million which was comprised of finished goods, work in progress, and parts and supplies as compared to December 31, 2017 of $0.4 million.

 

Segment Information 

 

We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We have identified our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as our chief operating decision-makers (“CODM”).

 

We currently operate our business as one operating segment which includes two revenue types:  Devices and Supplies.

 

Income Taxes

 

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (the “Tax Act”), which significantly revises the ongoing U.S. corporate income tax law by lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time tax on foreign unremitted earnings and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs, among other things.

 

The Company is subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires that the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates be recognized in the period the tax rate change was enacted. Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the recently enacted Tax Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 requires that the Company include in its financial statements the reasonable estimate of the impact of the Tax Act on earnings to the extent such estimate has been determined.

 

Pursuant to the SAB118, the Company is allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The final impact on the Company from the Tax Act’s transition tax legislation may differ from the aforementioned estimates due to the complexity of calculating and supporting with primary evidence such U.S. tax attributes such as accumulated foreign earnings and profits, foreign tax paid, and other tax components involved in foreign tax credit calculations for prior years back to 1998. Such differences could be material, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, future legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition tax's reasonable estimate. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the U.S. Tax Act and will record any resulting tax adjustments during 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”), which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2017-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today's "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”), which allows companies to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act), from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The new standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). These amendments require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under ASC 840 “Leases”. These amendments also require qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—“Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) which amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.  The Company adopted the new ASU as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and resulted in no material changes to previously stated financial statements. For further details see the revenue recognition description in Note 1.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the number of dilutive potential common share equivalents during the period, calculated using the treasury-stock method for outstanding stock options.

 

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

 

   For the Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2018   2017 
Basic income per share:        
Net income available to common stockholders  $1,921   $353 
Basic weighted average shares outstanding   32,601    31,418 
Basic income per share:  $0.06   $0.01 
           
Diluted income per share:          
Net income available to common stockholders  $1,921   $353 
Weighted average shares outstanding   32,601    31,418 
Effect of dilutive securities - options and restricted stock   1,813    618 
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding   34,414    32,036 
Diluted income per share:  $0.06   $0.01 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, 0.2 million and 1.1 million shares, respectively, of common stock were excluded from the dilutive stock calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average fair value of our common stock for the period.

 

Prior to their issuance on August 28, 2017, the dilutive securities calculation included 776,250 shares of common stock issuable related to the private placement which was completed on February 28, 2017. The common shares were issuable six months from the closing of the shareholder notes.

 

(4) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

In June 2017, our stockholders approved the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Stock Plan”) with a maximum of 5,000,000 shares reserved for issuance.  Awards permitted under the 2017 Stock Plan include:  Stock Options and Restricted Stock.  Awards issued under the 2017 Stock Plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  As applicable, awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and generally vest over four years.  At March 31, 2018, 0.6 million remain issued and outstanding.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, no Stock Option awards were granted under the 2017 Stock Plan.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 65,000 shares of restricted stock were granted to the Board of Directors and management under the 2017 Stock Plan.  There were no restricted shares issued during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, no shares of restricted stock vested. No shares of restricted stock were forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  The fair market value of restricted shares for share-based compensation expensing is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. The restrictions on the stock awards are typically released quarterly or annually over four years

 

The Company previously reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”). The Option Plan expired as of December 31, 2014. Vesting provisions of the expired plan were to be determined by the Board of Directors. All stock options under the Option Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted in 2016 and through May 2017 prior to the approval of the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan were approved by and certified by the board of directors on September 6, 2017 under the existing 2005 stock option plan. At March 31, 2018, 1.3 million remain issued and outstanding under the 2005 Stock Option Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $63,000 and $24,000, respectively, all of which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no options granted, only the aforementioned restricted stock grants.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company granted options to purchase up to 0.2 million shares of common stock to employees at a weighted average exercise price of $0.21 per share. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $0.28.

 

The Company received proceeds of $0.1 million related to option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2018. No options were exercised during the three months March 31, 2017

 

The Company used the Black Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option grants, using the following assumptions for 2017. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018:

  

   For the Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2018   2017 
Expected term (years)   -    6.25 
Risk-free interest rate   -%   1.64%
Expected volatility   -%   129.04%
Expected dividend yield   -%   0.00%

(5) STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Treasury Stock

 

Beginning on December 6, 2017, and continuing through March 6, 2018, we had the ability through our stock purchase program to re-purchase our common stock at prevailing market prices either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions up to $2.0 million. On March 6, 2018, we reached the limit of $2.0 million and share re-purchases were ceased.

 

11 

 

 

From the inception of the plan through March 6, 2018, we purchased 495,091 shares of our common stock for $2.0 million for an average price of $4.04 per share.

 

Warrants

 

In October 2017, 150,000 common stock warrants were issued in exchange for professional services.

 

In connection with the agreement entered into on March 28, 2016, with Triumph Bank, the Lender suspended this monthly payment requirement for February, March and April of 2016 up to an aggregate cap of $250,000, in exchange for the issuance of a common stock warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

There were no warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

  

(6) INCOME TAXES

 

The company recorded an income tax (benefit) provision of ($0.1 million) and $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period.  Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made.  There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to various factors.

 

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. As of December 31, 2017, our deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes recent operating performance, and forecasting our future results, we released a portion of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during the period ending March 31, 2018. Since the deferred tax assets are expected to be utilized in the current year and in connection with interim reporting requirements, we have adjusted our annual effective tax rate to recognize the benefit ratably over all quarters of 2018. We will continue to reassess valuation allowance considerations on a quarterly basis.

 

No taxes were paid in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

(7) PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM

 

Commencing in November of 2016, the Company conducted a private placement on a “best efforts, minimum-maximum” basis of 12% unsecured subordinated promissory notes, for a minimum of $1,000,000 and a maximum of $1,500,000 pursuant to Sections 4(a)(2) and 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Rule 506(b) of the 1933 Act (the “Offering”). The Offering was conducted through a FINRA registered broker, Newbridge Securities Corporation (“Newbridge”). On February 28, 2017, the Company conducted a closing under the Offering and issued promissory notes totaling $1,035,000, with a maturity date of June 28, 2018, with the remaining unpaid principal balance due. The Offering requires the Company to make monthly repayment commencing on July 1, 2017, until the Senior Lender has been paid in full, the private placement memorandum limits the funds available for repayment to the note holders to an amount equal to 5% of the Company’s collections received by the Senior Lender during that month. Newbridge was compensated in connection with sales made in the Offering consisting of (i) a cash amount equaling 10% commissions, a 3% non-accountable expense allowance, and related expenses totaling $155,000 (ii) 776,250 shares of our Common Stock were issued to the placement agent as additional commission and fees totaling $255,000, and (iii) the Company had an obligation to issue 776,250 shares of the common stock, six months after issuance of the notes to the noteholders which had initially been recorded as a liability totaling $255,000. The shares were issued on August 28, 2017. In connection with the Offering, we also paid our Lender $342,000 as repayment of principal and interest on the outstanding obligations. The common stock issued to the note holders represents additional interest expense and was initially recorded as a liability and was adjusted each reporting period based upon the fair value of the underlying stock until issued on August 28, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $107,000 and $37,000, respectively in debt issuance costs and debt discount amortization expense included in interest expense, respectively.

(8) DEFERRED INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT

 

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company collected $880,000 from a single insurance company for accounts receivable. The accounts receivable had been previously reduced to zero by the allowance for billing adjustments. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the insurance company verbally communicated to the Company that this payment was made in error and requested it be refunded to the insurance company. The Company recorded this $880,000 insurance reimbursement as a deferred insurance liability. However, the Company is disputing the refund request and has initiated an internal review of the reimbursement to determine that the original sales arrangement was properly executed, the products had been shipped and title was transferred, the price of the products or services and the reimbursement rate is fixed and determinable, and the Company’s ultimate claim to the reimbursement is reasonably assured. The Company will record the appropriate amount as net revenue when such internal review is complete and any refund obligation is deemed remote.

 

(9) CAPITAL LEASES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

 

On October 20, 2017 the Company entered into a sublease agreement with CSG Systems Inc. for approximately 41,715 square feet at 9555 Maroon Circle, Englewood CO 80112. The Term of the Sublease runs through June 30, 2023, with an option to extend for an additional two years through June 30, 2025. During the first year of the Sublease, the rent per square foot is $7.50, increasing to $19.75 during the second year of the Sublease and each year thereafter for the Initial Term increasing by an additional $1 per square foot. The Company is also obligated to pay its proportionate share of building operating expenses. The Sublandlord agreed to contribute approximately $0.2 million toward tenant improvements.

 

Our prior headquarters lease in Lone Tree, Colorado contained a termination clause which allowed the Company to terminate the lease at any time with three months written notice. We provided notice to the landlord at the end of October 2017.

 

We entered into a new month to month lease at our Lone Tree, Colorado location for warehouse and production space which will be transitioned to our new Englewood, Colorado location during the second quarter of 2018. The lease is for 12,494 rentable square feet at $26.50 per square foot and can be terminated at any time with thirty days’ notice. Termination notice was given on April 3, 2018.

 

The Company also leases certain equipment under capital leases which expire on various dates through 2018. Imputed interest rates on the leases range from approximately 2% to 10%. At March 31, 2018, the total recorded cost of assets under capital leases was approximately $0.5 million. Accumulated depreciation related to these assets totals approximately $0.4 million.

 

Future minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases and capital leases as of December 31, 2017 are as follows (in thousands):

(10) CONCENTRATIONS

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company sourced approximately 86% of the components for its electrotherapy products from two significant vendors (defined as supplying at least 10%). For the three months ended March 31, 2017 the company sourced approximately 45% from the same two significant vendors. Management believes that its relationships with suppliers are good; however, if the relationships were to be replaced, there may be a short-term disruption to operations, a period of time in which products may not be available and additional expenses may be incurred.

 

The Company had receivables from a private health insurance carrier at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017, that made up approximately 21% and 24%, respectively, of the net accounts receivable balance.

 

(11) LITIGATION

 

From time to time, the Company may become party to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of business. To the extent that such claims and litigation arise, management would provide for them if losses are determined to be both probable and estimable.

 

The Company is currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

 

(12) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Summary

 

Net revenue was $6.9 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net revenue increased 100% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net income was $1.9 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a 444% increase. We generated cash flows from operating activities of $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. 

 

Net Revenue

 

Net revenues are comprised of device and supply sales, whereas the transaction price is reduced by estimated Third-party Payors reimbursement deductions, if needed. The allowance on transaction price adjustments are adjusted on an ongoing basis in conjunction with the processing of Third-party Payor insurance claims and other customer collection history. Device revenue is primarily comprised of our Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (“TENS”) products and also includes our cervical traction, lumbar support and hot/cold therapy products. Supply revenue includes consumable supplies related primarily to our TENS products.

 

We also sell consumable supplies for all patients using our electrotherapy devices, consisting primarily of surface electrodes and batteries. Revenue for the electrotherapy products is reported net, after adjustments for estimated insurance company reimbursement deductions and refund allowance. The deductions are known throughout the health care industry as “billing adjustments” whereby the healthcare insurers unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse for our products as compared to the sales prices charged by us. The deductions from gross revenue also take into account the estimated denials, net of resubmitted billings of claims for products placed with patients which may affect collectability. Seasonality associated with annual insurance deductibles can impact general trends in collection rates.  See Note 1 to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete explanation of our revenue recognition policies.

 

We continually pursue improvements to our processes of billing insurance providers. We review all claims which are initially denied or not received. As these situations are identified and resolved, the appropriate party is appropriately rebilled (resubmitted) or, for those claims not previously billed, billed.

 

We frequently receive, and expect to continue to receive, refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in our industry. These requests are sometimes related to a few patients and other times include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. We review and evaluate these requests and determine if any refund is appropriate. We also review claims where we are rebilling or pursuing additional reimbursement from that insurance provider. We frequently have significant offsets against such refund requests which may result in amounts that are due to us in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests we are generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid.

 

As of March 31, 2018, we believe we have an adequate allowance for billing adjustments relating to known insurance disputes and refund requests. However, no assurances can be given with respect to such estimates of reimbursements and offsets or the ultimate outcome of any refund requests.

 

Device Revenue

 

Device revenue is related to the purchase of our products. Device revenue increased $0.2 million or 15% to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in device revenue is primarily related to growth in our sales force which has resulted in more device sales.

 

Supplies Revenue

 

Supplies revenue is related to the sale of supplies, typically electrodes and batteries, for our products. Supplies revenue increased $3.2 million or 158% to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in supplies revenue is primarily related to an increased customer base from increased sales in 2016 and 2017, plus improvements in our billing and collection procedures.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Cost of Revenue – Device and Supply

 

Cost of Revenue – device and supply consist primarily of device and supply costs, operations labor and overhead, shipping and depreciation. Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, increased 34% to $1.2 million from $0.9 million, respectively. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily due to the increase in device and supply orders. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue –device and supply decreased to 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from 27% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue during the period from improved collections on gross billings and changes in our product mix between supplies and devices.

 

 

15 

 

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee related costs, including commissions and other direct costs associated with these personnel including facilities and travel expenses and professional fees, depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 increased 82% to $3.7 million from $2.0 million, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily due to increased compensation expense related to headcount growth, increased incentive compensation and commissions and increased rent and relocation related to our new facility. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 54% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from 59% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is due to the increase in revenue during the period which more than offset the aforementioned increase in expenses. 

 

Other (Expense)

 

Other expense is composed primarily interest expense and debt issuance costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, other expense was $0.1 million. The expense during the periods is amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount related the private placement completed in during the first quarter of 2017 (Note 7).

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 6% and 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Discrete items recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 results in a tax benefit of approximately $0.1 million. The Company recorded income tax expense of $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. As of December 31, 2017, our deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes recent operating performance, and forecasting our future results, we released a portion of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets during the period ending March 31, 2018. We will continue to reassess valuation allowance considerations on a quarterly basis.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We have historically financed operations through cash flows from operations, debt and equity transactions.  At March 31, 2018, our principal source of liquidity was $4.4 million in cash and $2.7 million in accounts receivables, net of allowances. The decreased cash balance at March 31, 2018 was due cash used in investing of $0.2 million related primarily to leasehold improvements at our new corporate headquarters and cash used in financing of $2.0 million which was comprised of $1.8 million of common stock re-purchases and $0.3 million of payments on our subordinated notes payable. Partially offsetting the cash used in investing and financing activities was the cash generated from operations of $1.0 million during the first three months of 2018. Our anticipated uses of cash in the future will be to fund the expansion of our business. 

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1.0 million and $23,000, respectively.  The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the significant increase in profitability in 2018. 

 

Net cash used in investing activities for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $0.2 million and $57,000, respectively.  Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily related to leasehold improvements at our new corporate headquarters.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was ($2.0 million) and $0.2 million, respectively.  The cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the re-purchases of our common stock of $1.8 million and $0.3 million of principal payments on our subordinated notes payable. The cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily related to the proceeds of our subordinated notes payable, partially offset by repayments on our credit facility with Triumph Bank and fees paid on the closing of our subordinated notes payable.

 

We believe our cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, debt extinguishment and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In making this assessment, we considered the following:

·Our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2018 of $4.4 million;
·Our working capital balance of $4.6 million;
·Our profitability during the last 7 quarters; and
·Our planned capital expenditures of less than $1.0 million during 2018.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

On January 1, 2018 the company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09),. Pursuant to the revenue from contracts with customer’s standards the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled, known as the transaction price. The company elected to use the modified retrospective method which resulted in immaterial changes to previously issued financial statements and retained earnings.

 

Please refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements located within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2018.

 

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Uncertainties that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable such as political, economic, tax, other regulatory, or credit risks are not included in the following assessment of market risks.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes that materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting.
