(Unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Overview

The Company was initially incorporated in 1968 as Golf Rounds.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  Effective May 28, 2014, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name from “GolfRounds.com, Inc.” to “Fuse Medical, Inc.” (the “Company”).  Then, also on May 28, 2014, the Company merged with and into Fuse Medical, LLC, with Fuse Medical, LLC surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuse Medical, Inc (“Legacy Fuse”).  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger with Fuse Medical, Inc. deemed the legal acquirer, and Fuse Medical, LLC deemed the accounting acquirer.  During 2015, Certificates of Termination were filed for Fuse Medical, LLC and its two subsidiaries.

On December 19, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, NC 143 Family Holdings, LP, a family limited partnership controlled by Mark W. Brooks (“NC 143”), and Reeg Medical Industries, Inc., an investment holding company owned and controlled by Christopher C. Reeg (“RMI” and, together with NC 143, the “Investors”), pursuant to which NC 143 acquired 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $400,000 and RMI acquired 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a purchase price of $320,000, effective as of the Closing Date.  As direct offering costs amounted to $64,609, net proceeds from the sale of these shares were $655,391.  The closing of the Purchase Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company whereby the Investors acquired a majority interest in the Company. Effective as of the Closing Date, Mark W. Brooks became the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Christopher C. Reeg became the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company distributes a broad portfolio of orthopedic implants including internal and external fixation products, upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction, soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures, and full spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease and deformity indications (“Orthopedic Implants”). The Company also supports its broad portfolio of Orthopedic Implants with human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (“Biologics”). The Company’s principal supplier is CPM Medical Consultants, LLC (“CPM”) a company owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Company strives to provide cost savings and quality products to its customers, which include hospitals and medical facilities.

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed financial statements included herein reflect all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are ordinary and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s management believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The condensed balance sheet information as of December 31, 2016, was derived from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2017 (“2016 Annual Report”). These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2016 Annual Report.

The results of operations for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or for any other period.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company used cash in operations of $195,529, of which $92,476 represented a net loss. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company’s management to successfully execute its restructuring and rebranding strategies while increasing revenue growth and profitability. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s 2016 audited financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s management expects to fund its future business development activities and its working capital needs largely from improved future operations and other traditional financing sources, such as a revolving line of credit facility, term notes, or additional private placements until such time sufficient funds are provided by operations. There can be no assurance the Company’s financing efforts will be successful, or if the Company’s management will be able to achieve sufficient revenue and profitability growth from operations. Additional financing, may include restrictions on the Company’s operations, or with equity financing may result in the Company’s stockholders’ ownership being diluted.

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

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed financial statements may include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventories, the estimates of fixed assets useful lives, the valuation of property and equipment, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the fair value calculation of stock-based awards.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock method.  As of September 30, 2016, 604,788 outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per common share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The Company classifies assets and liabilities recorded at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

 

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

 

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted market prices, that are either directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and liabilities, and

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
(Unaudited)

 

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

 

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

 

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2016, and for the three-months and nine-months then ended, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of September 30, 2017 condensed financial statements for the three-months and nine-months then ended. These include deferred rent and depreciation expense, previously reported as a component of accrued expenses and general, administrative and other expenses, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three-months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company maintains its cash in a financial institution demand deposit account that at times may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts from inception through September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there were deposits of $231,498 and $421,636, respectively, greater than federally insured limits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are non-interest bearing and are stated at gross invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations. Payment trends and receivable amounts outstanding for an extended period beyond contractual terms are examples of these indicators. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off in the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise has evaluated other circumstances that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts. The Company’s Management has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  Inventories consist entirely of finished goods and include Orthopedic Implants and Biologics.  The Company reviews the market value of inventories whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of inventories may not be recoverable from the estimated future sales price less cost of disposal and normal gross profit.

Income Taxes

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

The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.  The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.  The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.

Revenue Recognition

FUSE MEDICAL, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND NINE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017
(Unaudited)

 

The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) no significant Company obligations remain, and (iv) collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company reports revenues for transactions in which it is the primary obligor on a gross basis and revenues in which it acts as an agent (earning a fixed percentage of the sale) on a net basis, (net of related costs).

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants and restricted stock to employees and non-employees for services, in capital raising transactions, and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option and warrant awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company’s Statement of Operations. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards (“RSA”) to employees and directors using the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company’s Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees in accordance with Topic 505 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash payments.” The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for the public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update may be applied retrospectively or prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management do not believe that this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures. 

All other ASUs issued and not yet effective for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, and through the date of this report, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s financial position of results of operations.

Note 3. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

 

Depreciation expense for the three-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $384 and $3,501, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $3,237 and $10,666, respectively. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 the Company disposed of furniture and fixtures with a net book value of $3,665 for proceeds of $300, resulting in a loss of $3,365 on disposal of property and equipment.

Note 4. Notes Payable – Related Parties

During July 2016 through October 2016, the Company obtained three short-term loans from the Investors in the aggregate amount of $150,000 in exchange for promissory notes bearing 10% interest per annum, and 18% interest per annum after December 31, 2016, which principal shall be due and payable, upon demand of the payee, at any time after the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2016, or (ii) upon a change in control of the Company. Notwithstanding, on or after January 16, 2017, at the holder’s sole discretion, the holder has the right to convert all or any portion of the then unpaid principal and interest balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share. This resulted in a beneficial conversion feature in the aggregate amount of $117,500, which was treated as a discount to each of the promissory notes and amortized over the term of each respective promissory note, maturing on December 31, 2016, the date in which the beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized.

 

During the three-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, interest expense of $6,806 and $1,750, respectively, was recognized on outstanding notes payable – related parties and are reflected within interest expense on the accompanying condensed statements of operations.  During the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, interest expense of $20,194 and $5,250, respectively, was recognized on outstanding notes payable – related parties and are reflected within interest expense on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, accrued interest payable was $25,290 and $5,096, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

On January 27, 2014, M. Richard Cutler and Cutler Law Group, P.C. (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, 2014-03355, against Legacy Fuse, Alan Meeker, Rusty Shelton, Jonathan Brown, Robert H. Donehew and GolfRounds.com, Inc. (the “Defendants”). On April 21, 2014, the complaint was dismissed for “want of prosecution.” On September 18, 2015, Plaintiffs refiled a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 2015-55652 and added PH Squared, LLC as an additional Plaintiff, as more fully described in “Legal Matters” included in Note 6 in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report, which is herein incorporated by reference. During April 2017, one of the named individuals in the complaint filed for bankruptcy protection. There is currently no trial date set.

The Company’s management continues to believe that the lawsuit is completely without merit and will vigorously contest it and protect the Company’s interests.

Accounts Payable

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a gain of $43,308 on extinguishment of long-aged outstanding payables owed to a former law firm for $32,052 and liabilities aggregating $11,256 owed to the Company’s beneficial owners for services provided to the Company and is reflected within extinguishment of debt on the accompanying condensed statements of operations. The Company’s management believes if these items were contested, the probable outcome would be favorable primarily due to statute of limitations.

Note 6. Stockholders' Equity

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan which provides for the granting of equity awards, including qualified incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation awards and restricted stock awards to employees, directors, consultants and advisors; the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan of Fuse Medical, Inc. (the “2017 Plan”), which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on April 5, 2017. The awards are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in individual agreements.

On September 21, 2017, the Board approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan from 1,500,000 shares of common stock to 2,500,000 shares of common stock.  

The following summary reflects equity awards granted prior to the 2017 Plan and the stock option activity during the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 is presented below:

 

 

Restricted Common Stock

On September 21, 2017, the Board voted to award an aggregate of 325,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, through the granting of RSAs pursuant to the 2017 Plan, to the members of the Board as annual compensation for services rendered to the Company as Board members. Each member of the Board was granted an RSA constituting 65,000 shares of common stock. The common stock within each RSA had an aggregate fair market value of $0.78 per share on the date of grant ($253,500 in the aggregate) and each RSA will fully vest upon the one year anniversary of the date of grant or September 21, 2018. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had amortized $21,124 relating to the vesting of these shares which is included in general and administrative expenses, and $232,376 which will be recognized as an expense in future periods as the shares vest.

Also on September 21, 2017, the Board awarded an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock through the granting of RSAs pursuant to the 2017 Plan to the Company’s independent Board of Directors (“Independent Members”) as special services compensation. The Independent Members were each granted an RSA constituting 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The common stock within each RSA had a fair market value of $0.78 on the date of grant, ($1,560,000 in the aggregate) and each RSA will fully vest upon the earlier of a change in control of the Company or the Company’s listing on a national securities exchange. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had not amortized any amounts relating to the vesting of these shares due to the uncertainty of meeting these milestones.

The following table summarizes restricted common stock activity:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. 

Explanatory Note 

As used in this report on Form 10-Q, “we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Company” refer to Fuse Medical, Inc. 

Overview

We are an emerging national medical device distributor providing a broad portfolio of orthopedic implants including internal and external fixation products, upper and lower extremity plating and total joint reconstruction, soft tissue fixation and augmentation for sports medicine procedures, full spinal implants for trauma, degenerative disc disease and deformity indications, (“Orthopedic Implants”), and human allografts, substitute bone materials and tendons, as well as regenerative tissues and fluids (“Biologics”) to support orthopedic surgeries and wound care. Our Biologics include:

Medical device companies such as ours typically experience seasonality between the first two quarters compared to the last two quarters of the year. We believe this is in part the result of patient annual healthcare deductibles being met during the last two quarters of the calendar year compared to the first two quarters of the calendar year.

As more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed on March 20, 2017 (the “2016 Annual Report”), during December 2016 the change in control over a majority of our issued and outstanding voting common stock resulted in new executive leadership.

Our results-oriented leadership has the following strategic objectives:

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, we have successfully executed the following milestones:

We continue to believe our comprehensive selection of Orthopedic Implants and Biologics products will prove pivotal in our ability to acquire new customers and increase revenues and profitability as demonstrated by our three months-ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017 results of operations over the prior year. We expect to offer compensation and other valuable long-term incentives to key distributors, executive leadership and key employees as we continue to expand our strategic partnerships and network arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., (or “GAAP”), requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts of revenue,

expenses, income, assets and liabilities, reported in our condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which our management uses judgment, assumptions and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements.

We describe our most significant accounting policies in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” of our condensed notes to the financial statements beginning on page F-1 and found elsewhere in this report, and in our 2016 Annual Report. These policies are considered critical because they may result in fluctuations in our reported results from period to period due to the significant judgments, estimates and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters and because the use of different judgments, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We describe recent accounting pronouncements in Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of our condensed notes to the financial statements beginning of page F-1.

Results of Operations

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

 

Three-months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three-months Ended September 30, 2016

Revenues

For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, revenues were $428,204 compared to $107,584 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $320,620, or approximately 298%. The increase in revenues is primarily a result of an approximate 84% increase in the medical cases in which our products are used (“Cases,” and each a “Case”) and an approximate 214% increase in average price per Case. We gained five new customers, offset, by three customers becoming inactive.

Cost of Revenues

For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, our cost of revenues was $169,817, compared to $42,536 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $127,281, or approximately 299%. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to an approximate 84% increase in revenue that resulted from an increase in the number of Cases and a shift from Cases in which we supplied Biologics to Cases in which we supplied Orthopedic Implants, which carry a higher average cost per Case

compared to Biologics, offset, in part, by productivity improvements in supply chain operations. These productivity improvements include the integration of a perpetual inventory system having FDA tracking capabilities as well as transitioning our product fulfillment and delivery model to a just in time approach. For the three-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, Orthopedic Implants represented 84% and 3% of revenues, respectively.

Gross Profit

For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, we generated a gross profit of $258,387, compared to $65,048 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $193,339, or approximately 297%. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was approximately 60% for both the three-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

General, Administrative and Other Expenses

For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, general, administrative and other operating expenses increased to $216,874 from $178,633 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $38,241, or approximately 21%. As a percentage of revenue, general, administrative and other operating expenses were approximately 51% and 166% for the three-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of revenues is approximately 115% and is primarily the result of a decrease of approximately 89% for payroll and benefit costs, a decrease of approximately 25% in professional fees, a 21% reduction in other corporate expenses, approximately 2% of savings from our exit of sponsorship programs, offset, in part, by an approximate 15% increase in legal and valuation study costs relating to our corporate restructuring and rebranding strategies, and an approximately 7% increase in commission expense.

 

Depreciation Expense

For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, depreciation expense decreased to $384 from $3,501 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $3,117 or approximately 89%. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction in fixed assets.

Interest Expense

For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense decreased to $6,806 from $31,824 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016. The $25,018 decrease in interest expense is primarily driven by a $28,499 reduction in beneficial ownership discount amortization, a $1,750 reduction in interest expense related to a note payable with a beneficial owner, offset by an increase in interest expense of $5,230 related to the notes payables – related parties.

Extinguishment of Debt

For the three-months ended September 30, 2016 we recorded $35,517 on extinguishment of debt relating to settlement of outstanding accounts payable owed to our former legal counsel for $25,000. For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, we did not record any amount with respect to the extinguishment of debt.

Net Loss

For the three-months ended September 30, 2017, we had a net income of $31,265 compared to a net loss of $113,393 for the three-months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase in profitability by $144,658, an increase of approximately 128%. The increase in profitability as a percentage of revenues was approximately 112% and is primarily a result of a (i) reduction of approximately 115% in general, administrative and other operating expenses, (ii) a reduction in depreciation expense of approximately 3% and (iii) a decrease in interest expense of approximately 28%. The increase in profitability as percentage of revenues was offset, in part, by approximately a 33% decrease in extinguishment of debt and an approximately 1% increase in loss on disposal of property and fixed assets.

Nine-months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine-months Ended September 30, 2016

Revenues

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, revenues were $911,033, compared to $421,170 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $489,863, or approximately 116%. The increase in revenues is primarily a result of an approximate 34% increase in the number of Cases and an approximate 82% increase in average price per Case. We gained six new customers, offset, by six customers becoming inactive.

Cost of Revenues

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, our cost of revenues was $333,119, compared to $144,654 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $188,465, or approximately 130%. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily attributable to an approximate 34% increase in the number of Cases and a shift from Cases in which we supplied Biologics to Cases in which we supplied Orthopedic Implants which carry a higher average cost per Case compared to Biologics, offset, in part, by productivity improvements in supply chain operations. The increase as a percentage of revenues is approximately 3% and is primarily a result of our strategy to increase Orthopedic Implants Case volume, offset, in part, by productivity improvements in supply chain operations. These productivity improvements include the integration of a perpetual inventory system having FDA tracking capabilities as well as transitioning our product fulfillment and delivery model to a just in time approach. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, Orthopedic Implants represented 79% and 4% of revenues, respectively.

Gross Profit

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, we generated a gross profit of $577,914, compared to $276,516 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $301,398, or approximately 109%. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was approximately 63% and 66% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

General, Administrative and Other Expenses

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, general, administrative and other operating expenses increased to $686,902 from $590,147 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of $96,755, or approximately 16%. As a percentage of revenue, general, administrative and other was approximately 75% and 140% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease as a percentage of revenues is approximately 65% and is primarily the result of a reduction of approximately 55% for payroll and benefit costs, approximately 16% for professional fees, approximately 12% for other corporate fixed costs, approximately 4% of savings from our exit of sponsorship programs, offset, in part, by an approximately 20% increase in legal and valuation study costs relating to our corporate restructuring and rebranding initiatives and approximately 2% increase in commission expense.

 

Depreciation Expense

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, depreciation expense decreased to $3,237 from $10,666 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, representing a decrease of $7,429 or approximately 70%. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction in fixed assets.

Interest Expense

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, interest expense decreased to $20,194 from $35,324 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016. The $15,130 decrease in interest expense is primarily driven by a $28,499 reduction in beneficial ownership discount amortization, a $5,250 reduction in interest expense related to a note payable with a beneficial owner, offset by an increase in interest expense of $18,619 related to the notes payable – related parties.

 

Extinguishment of Debt

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded $43,308 and $35,517, respectively, for extinguishment of debt.

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, our recording for the extinguishment of debt primarily resulted from the settlement of outstanding accounts payable of $60,517, owed to our former legal counsel for a payment of $25,000.

Net Loss

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, we generated a net loss of $92,476 compared to a net loss of $325,684 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase in profitability by $233,208, an increase of approximately 72%. The increase in profitability as a percentage of revenues is approximately 68% and is primarily due to (i) an approximate 65% reduction of general, administrative and other costs, (ii) an approximate 3% reduction in depreciation expense and (iii) an approximate 6% reduction in interest expense. The increase in profitability as a percentage of revenue was offset, in part, by approximately 3% extinguishment of debt and approximately 3% reduction of gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of our cash flows is as follows:

 

 

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 resulted primarily from a net loss of $92,476, a $227,398 increase in accounts receivable, a $21,176 increase in prepaid expenses and other receivables, $15,582 of adjustments in stock-based compensation, depreciation expense and other non-cash items, net, offset in part, by $21,662 increase in accounts payable, $33,448 increase in accounts payable-related parties, $88,312 increase in accrued expenses, $16,833 reduction in inventories, and $848 increase in deferred rent.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 resulted cash proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment of $300.

Liquidity

At September 30, 2017, we had working capital of $373,412, including $472,246 in cash and cash equivalents. As of November 6, 2017, we had approximately $517,000 in available cash. Our cash is concentrated in a large financial institution. We believe our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, in part, on our ability to successfully execute our restructuring and rebranding strategies, as well as expansion of our network of independent distributors, which we believe will increase our revenue growth and profitability. We believe these strategies, along with our current cash balance and anticipated cash generated by increasingly profitable operations will be enough to sustain operations through September 30, 2018.

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared as if we will continue as a going concern. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we had net cash used in operations of $195,529, of which $92,476 represented a net loss. We expect to fund our future business development activities and working capital needs largely from improved future operations and other traditional financing sources, such as a revolving line of credit facility, term notes, or additional private placements until such time sufficient funds are provided by operations. There can be no assurance our financing efforts will be successful, or if we will be able to achieve sufficient revenue and profitability growth from operations. Additional financing, may include restrictions on our operations, or with equity financing may result in our stockholders’ ownership being diluted.

The estimated costs of operations while we work to increase our revenues are substantially greater than the amount of funds we have on hand. Our existence is dependent upon our ability to execute our restructuring and rebranding strategies and have accessibility to adequate funding as required. There can be no assurance that our efforts will result in profitable operations or provide resolution of our liquidity challenges. See Risk Factors, Item 1A, in our 2016 Annual Report.

In our 2016 Annual Report, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements concerning our assumption that we will continue as a going concern.

Capital Expenditures

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, we had no material capital expenditures. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2017. These capital expenditures will be allocated across business development initiatives, including investment in inventories and scalable infrastructure.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements including statements regarding liquidity.

The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

The results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not occur. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include the condition of the capital markets, particularly for smaller companies, willingness of doctors and facilities to purchase the products that we sell and regulatory issues adversely affecting our margins, insurance companies denying reimbursement to facilities who use the products that we sell and/or our ability to sell products. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based upon the evaluation required by Section 13a-13(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of our Board of Directors, continue to believe based on changes we have been making, since our year ended December 31, 2016 that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2017, are significantly improved since December 31, 2016.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting. With the new executive leadership team, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and the significant restructuring and rebranding efforts deemed necessary by our Board of Directors, our management was unable to complete their full assessment regarding the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal controls over our financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  Due to the inability to properly complete this process, we are unable to conclude that internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of that date. Our Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer have engaged an independent third-party to assist in establishing a sustainable framework and processes to ensure adequate internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, we out-sourced our supply chain management, finance, sales support, and other related functions, including payroll processing, employee benefit administration, and related human capital services to companies owned and controlled by our Chairman of the Board of Directors. We believe these arrangements have significantly improved internal controls over financial reporting and have provided us scalability for anticipated growth and expansion, while driving down fixed costs per transaction.
