NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1. Description of Business, Stock Split and Basis of Presentation

 

NexGel, Inc. (“NexGel” or the “Company”) manufactures high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. The Company specializes in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. NexGel has historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products, and has recently began producing the Company’s own consumer products using our gels focused on proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. Both the Company’s gels and consumer products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable NexGel to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate (a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance) and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, the Company has the manufacturing capability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, NexGel and our customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.

 

NexGel was previously known as AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (“AquaMed”) before changing its name to NexGel, Inc. on November 14, 2019.

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a newly formed joint venture (“JV”), CG Converting and Packaging, LLC, with C.G. Laboratories Inc. (“CG Labs”) for its converting and packaging business. The agreement is effective March 1, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50% of the JV, with the remaining 50% held by CG Labs.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of NexGel have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2023. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, NexGelRx, Inc. and the fifty percent (50%) owned JV (see Note 11).

2. Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a cash balance of $3.7 million (including cash equivalents) and $612 thousand of marketable securities (see Note 3 for details of our marketable securities). For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.5 million and had a net usage of cash in operating activities of $1.9 million. In addition, the Company had a working capital of $5.0 million as of June 30, 2023. We believe we have sufficient cash and marketable securities to operate our business plan through 2025.

 

Management is exploring new product channel sales in adjacent industries, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased its focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.

 

We have sufficient capital to maintain as a going concern due to the capital raise that occurred on December 27, 2021. We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing our catalog of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.

 

We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long-term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, deferred taxes, share-based compensation and related valuation allowances and fair value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash is comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid investments, including U.S. treasury bills purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as well as investments in money market funds for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturities of these investments.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company classifies its marketable securities as held-to-maturity, which include U.S. treasury bills with original maturities of greater than three months. These securities are carried at fair value with any change in fair value recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) in the consolidated statement of operations of the period in which such change occurs.

 

The Company had the following marketable securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Schedule of Marketable Securities  

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2023   2022 
Marketable Securities          
United States treasury bills (due February 23, 2023)  $-   $492 
United States treasury bills (due April 27, 2023)   -    20 
United States treasury bills (due June 15, 2023)   -    4,384 
United States treasury bills (due July 13, 2023)   127    127 
United States treasury bills (due August 10, 2023)   485    485 
Total  $612   $5,508 

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records a provision to the allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience. Provisions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $17 thousand as of June 30, 2023, and $9 thousand as of December 31, 2022.

 

Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, the value determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, and shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions, and a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for products. These factors determine when, and if, the Company adjusts the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value.

 

9
Table of Contents

 

The Company produces proprietary branded products and white label opportunities in our manufacturing of consumer products. In our contract manufacturing, the Company builds its products based on customer orders and immediately ships the products upon completion of the production process.

 

The balance is made up of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Inventory is maintained primarily at the Company’s warehouse and at an Amazon fulfillment center.

 

The “Cost of revenues” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is comprised of the book value of inventory sold to customers during the reporting period. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value as the basis for recording inventory, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development activities focus on new and innovative products designed to support revenue growth. Research and development expenses consist primarily of contracted development and testing efforts associated with development of products.

 

Shipping and Handling Revenue and Expense

 

Shipping and handling revenue and expense are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in revenues and cost of revenues, respectively. This is primarily through shipping fees incurred in the Amazon marketplace.

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Management periodically assesses the estimated useful life over which assets are depreciated or amortized. If the analysis warrants a change in the estimated useful life of property and equipment, management will reduce the estimated useful life and depreciate or amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.

 

The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the period of disposal and the resulting gains and losses are included in the results of operations during the same period.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of acquisitions or annually as of December 31, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets is compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

10
Table of Contents

 

The Company performed the annual assessment and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeds the carrying value and no impairments were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets are recorded at historical cost and is primarily made up of $96 thousand and $63 thousand of prepaid insurance, and $270 thousand and $109 thousand general prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Other Assets

 

Other assets are recorded at historical costs, and as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the balance is primarily comprised of spare parts for manufacturing equipment. Other assets are not subject to depreciation until such time that they are placed into service and the part that is being replaced is disposed.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

The Company considers the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable) in the balance sheet to approximate fair value because of the short-term or highly liquid nature of these financial instruments.

 

The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets within the fair value hierarchy:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value 
       June 30, 2023     
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value 
Assets                    
Marketable securities:                          
United States treasury bills  $612   $     -   $-   $612 
Total  $612   $-   $-   $612 

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value 
       December 31, 2022     
   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Fair Value 
Assets                    
Marketable securities:

Warrant Liability

 

Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises, which occurred during 2019 through 2021. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair values of the warrants are recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The Company adopted ASC 606 for all applicable contracts using the modified retrospective method, which would have required a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, as of the date of adoption.

 

The Company currently recognizes revenue predominately from three types of revenue, contract manufacturing, custom and white label finished goods manufacturing and our branded products. Revenues from manufactured and branded products are recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time the customer receives the product.

 

The Company’s customers consist of other life sciences companies and Amazon retail customers. Revenues are entirely concentrated in the United States. Payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and may differ by jurisdiction and customer, but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 60 days from date of shipment.

 

Estimates for product returns, allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue and are established at the time of sale. Returns are estimated through a comparison of historical return data and are determined for each product and adjusted for known or expected changes in the marketplace specific to each product, when appropriate. Historically, sales return provisions have not been material. Amounts accrued for sales allowances and discounts are based on estimates of amounts that are expected to be claimed on the related sales and are based on historical data. Payments for allowances and discounts have historically been immaterial.

Total  $1,786   $956 

 

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any contract assets or contract liabilities from contracts with customers. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were no remaining performance obligations that the Company had not satisfied.

 

The Company has four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom & White Label, Consumer Branded Products, and Medical Devices.

 

Contract Manufacturing

 

Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.

 

Custom & White Label

 

These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into salable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the Company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places a large order for newly developed product.

 

Consumer Branded Products

 

These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to the customer by the Company through online and retail channels. The Company is responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. These products carry the Company’s brand names.

 

Medical Devices

 

Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom & White Label and Consumer Branded Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. The Company will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by the Company, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

On August 28, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2019 Plan”). See Note 10 below for further details regarding the 2019 Plan.

 

The 2019 Plan provides certain employees, contractors, and outside directors with share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other awards. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period required to obtain full vesting. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur.

In June 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted this new standard early in the third quarter of 2019 and it did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

 

Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.

 

Leases

 

ASC 842, Leases, requires recognition of leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. A number of the lease agreements contain options to renew and options to terminate the leases early. The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.

 

The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in one business segment as a contract manufacturer of aqueous polymer hydrogels. As a result, the Company’s operations are a single reportable segment, which is consistent with the Company’s internal management reporting.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

4. Leases

 

The Company has one operating lease for a commercial manufacturing facility and administrative offices located in Langhorne, Pennsylvania that runs through January 2031. There are two options that can extend the lease term for five years each. The exercise of the lease options to renew is solely at the Company’s discretion.

As of June 30, 2023, vested outstanding stock options had $129 thousand intrinsic value as the exercise price is greater than the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, there was approximately $17 thousand of total unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested stock options, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 11 months excluding options fully contingent upon certain sales-based milestones being achieved within 18 to 36 months of commercial release.

 

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period. The following assumptions were used to calculate share-based compensation expense for the period ended June 30, 2023:

 

Volatility   257.64%
Risk-free interest rate   4.21%
Dividend yield   0.0%
Expected term   5.50 years 

 

The Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Accordingly, the Company has elected to use the “simplified method” to estimate the expected term of its share-based awards. The simplified method computes the expected term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two.

 

Based on the lack of historical data of volatility for the Company’s common stock, the Company based its estimate of expected volatility on a weighted-average of the historical volatility of comparable public companies that manufacture similar products and are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage.

 

Restrictive Stock Awards

 

Effective as of August 1, 2022, the Company granted a restricted stock award of 84,750 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain officers and employees, all of which shares vest in four equal installments on each of January 1, 2023, January 1, 2024, January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026. Under ASC 718, the Company has measured the value of the 84,750 shares granted based on a closing price of the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($1.82 per share).

Effective as of January 1, 2022, the Company granted a restricted stock award of 11,364 shares of the Company’s common stock to Adam Levy for his service as our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of his Executive Employment Agreement dated November 4, 2021, all of which shares vested monthly from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. Under ASC 718, the Company has measured the value of the 11,364 shares granted based on the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($4.40 per share).

 

Effective as of January 3, 2023, the Company granted a restricted stock award of 37,037 shares of the Company’s common stock to Adam Levy for his service as our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of his Executive Employment Agreement dated December 30, 2022, all of which shares vested monthly from January 3, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Under ASC 718, the Company has measured the value of the 37,037 shares granted based on the closing price of the Company’s stock at the grant date of the RSU Grant ($1.35 per share).

Compensation expense will be recognized ratably over the total vesting schedule. The Company will periodically adjust the cumulative compensation expense for forfeited awards. As of June 30, 2023, there was $121 thousand unrecognized share-based compensation related to unvested RSUs, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 3 years.

 

Stock based compensation and restricted stock vesting of $53 thousand and $134 thousand has been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

11. Noncontrolling Interest in Joint Venture

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a JV, named CG Converting and Packaging, LLC, with C.G. Laboratories Inc. (“CG Labs”) for its converting and packaging business (see Note 1). The JV is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by CG Labs. CG Labs contributed its existing converting and packaging division to the JV, including, but not limited to, its facilities, equipment, employees, and customers. The Company will contribute $500,000 to the JV, on a schedule to be determined, to be used for equipment and facility upgrades as well as general corporate purposes for JV. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has contributed $350,000 of its $500,000 commitment.

Table of Contents

 

The JV is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to the JV that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs. Therefore, we have consolidated the JV.

 

12. Notes Payable

 

Economic Injury Disaster Loan

 

On May 28, 2020, the Company entered into the standard loan documents required for securing a loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. Pursuant to that certain Loan Authorization and Agreement (the “SBA Loan Agreement”), the principal amount of the EIDL Loan is up to $260,500, with proceeds to be used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly which the Company began paying in December 2022 (thirty months from the date of the SBA Note) in the amount of $1,270. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the SBA Note. In connection therewith, the Company received an $8,000 advance, which does not have to be repaid. The balances of the principal and accrued interest amounted to $280 thousand and $283 thousand as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

The future annual principal amounts and accrued interest to be paid as of June 30, 2023 are as follows:

13. Convertible Notes Payable

 

On March 11, 2021, the Company issued Auctus Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company a one-year senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1.68 million, which included $180 thousand of interest which was deemed fully earned as of the issuance date (the “Auctus Note”). The Auctus Note was fully repaid (including all principal and interest) on March 15, 2022 with a one-time cash payment of $1.68 million.

 

On September 2, 2021, the Company issued to certain holders one-year subordinated secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,814 thousand, which included $194 thousand of interest which was deemed fully earned as of the issuance date (the “September 2 Notes”). On January 25, 2022, the Company repaid one of the September 2 Notes in full with a one-time cash payment of $300 thousand of outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest. The Company incurred pre-payment penalty of $17 thousand with respect to the repayment of the note and the remaining unamortized debt discount in the amount of $133 thousand was written off and both amounts were recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt of $150 thousand in accompany condensed consolidated statement of operations during 2022. The repayment extinguished the note in its entirety. On September 6, 2022, the outstanding balance on the remaining September 2 Notes’ was repaid in full which consisted of principal of $1,478 thousand.

14. Warrant Liability

 

On September 2, 2021, March 11, 2021, February 3, 2021, December 24, 2020, March 18, 2020, September 10, 2019, and November 6, 2019, the Company issued 22,019, 34,286, 7,429, 7,286, 44,286, 35,715 and 114,286 warrants, respectively, as equity issuance consideration, in connection with a private placement of the Company’s common stock. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.49 to $5.25 per share at any time on or after their issuance date and on or prior to the close of business 3 or 5 years, as applicable, after the issuance date (the “Termination Date”). The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the public share offering. Management also determined that the warrants required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income in the statement of operations.

 

The warrants outstanding and fair values at each of the respective valuation dates are summarized below:

 

Warrant Liability  Warrants Outstanding   Fair Value per Share   Fair Value 
Fair value as of year ended 12/31/2022   265,305       $242 
Exercise of warrants   (194,286)             (154)
Change in fair value of warrant liability   -        77 
Fair value as of period ended 6/30/2023   71,019        $165 

 

The warrant liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities on the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value includes various assumptions about of future activities and the Company’s stock prices and historical volatility of Guideline Public Companies as inputs.

 

15. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

 

Service Agreement

 

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Holdings (US) LLC (“Haleon”) to supply material for a consumer product to be developed and released in the future. There can be no guaranty that a consumer product will be released or, if released, that it will be successful. GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Holdings (US) LLC is a Haleon group company.

 

16. Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company’s revenues are concentrated in a small group of customers with some individually having more than 10% of total revenues.

 

Revenues from two customers that exceeded 10% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were 40% and 14%. The accounts receivable from those top two customers were 0% and 22% as well as 13%, 15%, and 16% from three other customers of the total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

 

Revenues from two customers that exceeded 10% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were 40% and 25%. The accounts receivable from those top two customers by revenue were 6% and 46% as well as 15% and 22% from two other customers of the total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022.

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash balances are maintained principally at major U.S. financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to regulatory limits. Such cash balances are currently in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250 thousand. As of June 30, 2023, the total amount exceeding such limit was $3 million. The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its cash balances in the past. The Company invests its cash equivalents in U.S. treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Marketable securities are comprised of U.S. treasury bills with original maturities greater than three months. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Overview

 

We manufacture high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. We specialize in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. We have historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products and have recently began producing our own consumer products using our gels focused on proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. Both our gels and our consumer products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, we and our customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.

 

Joint Venture

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company acquired of 50% interest in a newly formed joint venture (“JV”), CG Converting and Packaging, LLC, with C.G. Laboratories Inc. (“CG Labs”) for its converting and packaging business. The agreement is effective March 1, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50% of the JV, with the remaining 50% held by CG Labs.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the comparison periods identified.

 

Comparison of the Three Months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022

 

Revenues, net.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $1.17 million and increased by $606 thousand, or 108.0%, when compared to $561 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in our overall revenues was primarily due to sales growth in both our contract manufacturing and branded products, including the revenue from CG Labs from April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023 of $602 thousand.

 

The Company has four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom & White Label, Consumer Branded Products, and Medical Devices as further described below.

 

Contract Manufacturing

 

Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.

 

Custom & White Label

 

These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into salable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places a large order for newly developed product.

Table of Contents

 

Consumer Branded Products

 

These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to the customer by the Company through online and retail channels. The Company is responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. These products carry the Company’s brand names.

 

Medical Devices

 

Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom & White Label and Consumer Branded Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. The Company will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by the Company, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.

 

Gross profit. Our gross profit was $175 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a gross profit of $101 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of $74 thousand in gross profit quarter over quarter was primarily due to the higher volume of contract manufacturing sales against fixed costs partially offset by higher manufacturing labor costs and increased manufacturing of promotional materials, customer product samples and other marketing materials to support our new product launches. Gross profit was approximately 15% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a gross profit of 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year   1,101    13,350 
Cash and cash equivalent at end of quarter  $3,691   $4,420 

 

As of June 30, 2023, we had $3.7 million of cash and $612 thousand of marketable securities, compared to $1.1 million of cash and $5.5 million of marketable securities at December 31, 2022. Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.5 million and net cash used in investing activities was $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisting of the sales of marketable securities of $4.8 million and purchases of capital equipment of $253 thousand for six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $3 thousand and $2 million and is attributable to the principal payments of notes payable and convertible notes, respectively.

 

At June 30, 2023, current assets totaled $6.7 million and current liabilities totaled $1.7 million, as compared to current assets totaling $7.5 million and current liabilities totaling $859 thousand at December 31, 2022. As a result, we had working capital of $5.0 million at June 30, 2023, compared to a working capital of $6.6 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in the working capital as of June 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to the loss from operations of $1.6 million.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that all available funds and any earnings generated in our business will be used to finance the growth of our business and will not be paid out as dividends to our shareholders. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

 

Management is exploring new product channel sales in consumer products, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased its focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.

 

We have sufficient capital to maintain as a going concern due to the capital raise that occurred on December 27, 2021. We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing its catalog of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.

 

28
Table of Contents

 

We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long-term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements in the nature of guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to entities (or similar arrangements serving as credit, liquidity or market risk support to entities for any such assets), or obligations (including contingent obligations) arising out of variable interests in entities providing financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our Financial Statements.

 

Share-based compensation – We utilize share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period required to obtain full vesting. The expected term of the awards granted is estimated using the simplified method which computes the expected term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two.

 

Warrant Liability – Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises which occurred during 2019 through 2021. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair value of the warrant is recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The expected term of the awards granted are based on either the three-year or five-year contractual expiration date.

 

Black Scholes Inputs - The fair value of each stock option award and warrant issued was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding: (i) fair value of the common stock that underlies the stock option; (ii) the expected volatility in the market price of our common stock; (iii) dividend yield; (iv) risk-free interest rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected term). Under the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, entities typically estimate the expected volatility based on historical volatilities of the entity’s own common stock. Based on the lack of historical data of volatility for the Company’s common stock, the Company based its estimate of expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of comparable public companies that manufacture similar products and are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage. The fair value of the common stock that underlies the stock option is estimated by the Company considering the price of the most recent issuance of the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield is based upon the assumption that the Company will not declare a dividend over the life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturities consistent with the expected term of the related award.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

As of June 30, 2023, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023 at a reasonable level of assurance.
