Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of SANUWAVE Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“SANUWAVE” or the “Company”) contains forward-looking statements. All statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those made by the management of the Company, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements regarding: any expected benefits of the Celularity Inc. asset acquisition and its impact on the Company; the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, liquidity, and operations, including the effect of governmental lockdowns, restrictions and new regulations on our operations and processes, including the execution of clinical trials; the Company’s future financial results, operating results, and projected costs; market acceptance of and demand for dermaPACE and our product candidates; success of future business development and acquisition activities; management’s plans and objectives for future operations; industry trends; regulatory actions that could adversely affect the price of or demand for our approved products; the successful filing with the Secretary of State of Nevada of amendments to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the changes approved by our stockholders at our 2020 Annual Meeting; our intellectual property portfolio; our business, marketing and manufacturing capacity and strategy; estimates regarding our capital requirements, the anticipated timing of the need for additional funds, and our expectations regarding future capital-raising transactions, including through investments by strategic partners for market opportunities, which may include strategic partnerships or licensing agreements, or raising capital through the conversion of outstanding warrants or issuances of securities; product liability claims; economic conditions that could affect the level of demand for our products; timing of clinical studies and eventual FDA approval of our products; financial markets; the competitive environment; and our plans to remediate our material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s estimates, projections and assumptions as of the date hereof and include the assumptions that underlie such statements. Forward-looking statements may contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” and “continue,” the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. Any expectations based on these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and other important factors, including those discussed in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), specifically the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on March 30, 2020 and in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Other risks and uncertainties are and will be disclosed in the Company’s prior and future SEC filings. These and many other factors could affect the Company’s future financial condition and operating results and could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this document or elsewhere by the Company or on its behalf. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements. The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on March 30, 2020.

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” are to the consolidated business of the Company.

SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020

1.
Nature of the Business

SANUWAVE Health, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is focused on the research, development, and commercialization of its patented noninvasive and biological response activating medical systems for the repair and regeneration of skin, musculoskeletal tissue, and vascular structures. Through its recent acquisition of Celularity’s UltraMIST® assets, SANUWAVE now combines two highly complementary and market-cleared energy transfer technologies and two human tissue biologic products, which creates a platform of scale with an end-to-end product offering in the advanced wound care market.

The Company’s lead regenerative product in the United States is the dermaPACE® device, used for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies. On December 28, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the Company’s request to classify the dermaPACE System as a Class II device via the de novo process. As a result of this decision, the Company was able to immediately market the product for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) as described in the De Novo request, subject to the general control provisions of the FD&C Act and the special controls identified in this order.

On August 6, 2020 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Celularity Inc. (“Celularity”) pursuant to which the Company acquired Celularity’s UltraMIST assets, as more fully described in Note 4. The UltraMIST® System is a proprietary technology cleared by the FDA for the promotion of wound healing through wound cleansing and maintenance debridement combined with ultrasound energy deposited inside the wound that stimulated tissue regeneration.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, on August 6, 2020, the Company entered into a license and marketing agreement with Celularity pursuant to which Celularity granted to the Company a license to the Celularity wound care biologic products, Biovance® and Interfyl® (the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement provides the Company with an exclusive license to use, market, distribute and sell Biovance® in the “Field” and “Territory” (each as defined in the License Agreement), and a non-exclusive license to use, market, distribute and sell Interfyl® in the Field in the Territory. The License Agreement has an initial five year term, after which it automatically renews for additional one year periods, unless either party gives written notice at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the current term.

The Company’s portfolio of regenerative medicine products and product candidates activate tissue regeneration biological signaling and angiogenic responses, producing new vascularization and microcirculatory improvement combined with tissue growth which helps restore the body’s normal healing processes. The Company applies and researches its patented energy transfer technologies in wound healing, orthopedic/spine, plastic/cosmetic and cardiac/endovascular conditions. The Company is marketing its dermaPACE System for treatment usage in the United States and is able to generate revenue from sales of the European Conformity Marking (CE Mark) devices and accessories in Europe, Canada, Asia, and Asia/Pacific. The Company generates revenue streams from dermaPACE treatments, product sales, licensing transactions and other activities.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread across the globe and has already resulted in significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. The primary impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been seen in our dermaPACE System placements in the United States as our treatment is not widely recognized as an “essential” service. In addition, stay-at-home policies deployed to combat the spread of COVID-19 has greatly constrained visits to wound care centers, doctor’s offices and hospitals since late March 2020 and continuing as of this filing and have therefore delayed placements of new devices that were included in our revenue forecast. The future impacts of the pandemic and any resulting economic impact are largely unknown and rapidly evolving. It is difficult at this time to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business and operations including its recent acquired assets.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial information as of September 30, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2020.

SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report”).

2.
Going Concern

The Company does not currently generate significant recurring revenue and may require additional capital during 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,391,591. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net cash used by operating activities was $9,779,889. The Company incurred a net loss of $12,645,898 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the filing of this report.

The continuation of the Company’s business is dependent upon raising additional capital to fund operations. Management’s plans are to obtain additional capital through investments by strategic partners for market opportunities, which may include strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements, or raise capital through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders. Although no assurances can be given, management of the Company believes that potential additional issuances of equity or other potential financing transactions as discussed above should provide the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going concern. If these efforts are unsuccessful, the Company may be forced to seek relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are summarized below and should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Annual Report:

Principles of consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Estimates – These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because a precise determination of assets and liabilities, and correspondingly revenues and expenses, depend on future events, the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements for any period necessarily involves the use of estimates and assumptions. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized herein. Significant estimates include the recording of allowances for doubtful accounts, estimate of the net realizable value of inventory, the determination of the valuation allowances for deferred taxes the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation, debt discounts and warrants, and valuation of acquired assets related to the acquisition of UltraMIST (Note 4).

Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying values of accounts payable, and other short-term obligations approximate their fair values, principally because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The Company has adopted ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The framework that is set forth in this standard is applicable to the fair value measurements where it is permitted or required under other accounting pronouncements.

The ASC 820-10 hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

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

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2020
 
The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability is determined based on a lattice solution, binomial approach pricing model, and includes the use of unobservable inputs such as the expected term, anticipated volatility and risk-free interest rate, and therefore is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. (See Note 14).

The Company’s notes payable approximate fair value because the terms are substantially similar to comparable debt in the marketplace.

Inventory - Inventory consists of finished medical equipment and parts and is stated at the lower of cost, which is valued using the first in, first out (“FIFO”) method, or net realizable value less allowance for selling and distribution expenses. The Company analyzes its inventory levels and writes down inventory that has, or is expected to, become obsolete. As of September 30, 2020, inventory consists of goods of $2,273,436 and parts of $266,039 for a total inventory of $2,539,475. As of December 31, 2019, inventory consisted of goods of $357,264 and parts of $185,691 for a total inventory of $542,955.

Preferred stock – The Company evaluates Preferred Stock issuances for liability or equity classification in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determines appropriate equity or liability accounting treatment. Additionally, the Company determines, if classified as equity, whether it would be recorded as permanent or temporary equity.

Sequencing policy – The Company has granted certain options and warrants which, upon settlement, may exceed the limit on the authorized number of shares of common stock. The Company follows a sequencing policy for which in the event partial reclassifications of contracts subject to ASC 815-40-25 is necessary, due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments with the earliest grants receiving first allocation of shares. On August 6, 2020, the Company issued shares of common stock, convertible debt and warrants exercisable into shares of common stock in connection with a private placement funding and Senior Notes. In the event that all outstanding convertible securities were converted into shares of common stock of the Company, the Company would exceed the total number of shares authorized for issuance in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The Company has applied its sequencing policy to and determined that all convertible securities are convertible into shares of common stock other than warrants to purchase 54,119,742 shares of common stock issued on August 6, 2020.  These warrants were valued at $7,306,165 at August 6, 2020 and recorded as a liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Convertible instruments and liabilities related to warrants issued –  The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options (“ECOs”) and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as amortization of debt discount on the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the underlying instrument. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.  A binomial model was used to estimate the fair value of the ECOs of warrants that are classified as derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The models include subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the actual volatility during the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature and simplifies the guidance for determining whether a conversion feature is a derivative. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. These changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. In addition, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On August 6, 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Celularity pursuant to which the Company acquired (the “Transaction”) Celularity’s UltraMIST assets (“UltraMIST”, or the “Assets”). The acquisition provides the Company with a robust product offering in the advanced wound care market and gives the Company an end-to-end advanced wound care product portfolio that addresses the entire care pathway. The aggregate consideration paid for the Assets was $24,000,000, which consisted of (i) a cash payment of $18,890,000, (ii) the issuance of a convertible promissory note to Celularity in the principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “Seller Note”), and (iii) a credit of $1,110,000 for the previous payment made by the Company to Celularity pursuant to that certain letter of intent between the Company and Celularity dated June 7, 2020.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, on August 6, 2020, the Company entered into a license and marketing agreement with Celularity pursuant to which Celularity granted to the Company a license to the Celularity wound care biologic products, Biovance® and Interfyl® (the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement provides the Company with an exclusive license to use, market, distribute and sell Biovance® in the “Field” and “Territory” (each as defined in the License Agreement), and a non-exclusive license to use, market, distribute and sell Interfyl® in the Field in the Territory. The License Agreement has an initial five year term, after which it automatically renews for additional one year periods, unless either party gives written notice at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the current term.

The Company evaluated whether the Transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination and determined that the Transaction met the definition of a business per Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The Company has treated the transaction as a business combination and applied the related accounting guidance as required, using the acquisition method and a fair value model.

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the satisfaction of performance obligations, the Company records a contract liability (deferred revenue) until the performance obligations are satisfied. Of the aggregate contract liability balances as of September 30, 2020, the Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations associated with $65,037 and $45,519 of contract liability balances within the next twelve months and following thirty-two months, respectively. Of the aggregate contract liability balances as of December 31, 2019, the Company expects to satisfy its remaining performance obligations associated with $66,577 and $573,224 of contract liability balances within the next twelve months and following thirty-eight months, respectively.

7.
Senior promissory notes

On August 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase and Security Agreement (the “NWPSA”), with the noteholder party thereto and NH Expansion Credit Fund Holdings LP, as agent. As a result, the Company issued a $15,000,000 Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior Notes”) and Warrant exercisable into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”) in exchange for cash to support operations, repay outstanding debt and close on the acquisition of the UltraMIST assets from Celularity, among other transactions. The Company received net proceeds from issuing the Notes and NH Warrant of $13,346,547. The NWPSA provides for (i) the sale and purchase of secured notes in an aggregate original principal amount of $15 million and (ii) the issuance of 13,091,160 warrants equal to 2.0% of the fully-diluted common stock of the Company as of the issue date. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and a 10 year term (Note 11). The warrant agreement contains a put option. Upon payment in full of the Note, the holder has the ability to require the Company to purchase the warrants from the holder for cash. Accordingly, the warrant has been classified as a derivative liability. The holder has the option to exercise the put any time between the payment of the Note and the expiration of the warrants. The Note has a maturity date of September 30, 2025 and accrues interest at a rate that is the sum of: (a) the greater of the quarter end prime rate or 3% plus (b) 9%, due in quarterly arrears.  The Senior Notes are secured by substantially all assets of the Company including in the event of default placing bank accounts under a control agreement, copyrights, trademarks, patents, applications, registered and unregistered, licenses, designs, held or acquired after August 6, 2020 by the Company. The NWPSA contains several default conditions, including non-monetary default events including misrepresentations and material adverse changes. In the case of default, the agent has the right to declare the Senior Notes immediately due, not extend further credit, take actions to protect security (title changes), demand and take possession of the books, and is appointed an Attorney in Fact in certain conditions. Covenants include restrictions on dispositions, mergers or acquisitions, incurring indebtedness and minimum liquidity provisions. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the NWPSA.

The Company recorded  a long-term warrant liability of $3,050,240 for the fair value of the warrant. The outstanding balance of the Note at September 30, 2020 was $10,448,039 and accrued interest of $280,729. Further, as of September 30, 2020, the Company had unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,600,115.

8.
Convertible promissory notes

On August 6, 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Celularity Inc., described in Note 4 pursuant to which the Company acquired Celularity’s UltraMIST assets. A portion of the aggregate consideration of $24,000,000 paid for the assets included the issuance of a promissory note to Celularity in the principal amount of $4,000,000. The Seller Note has a maturity date of August 6, 2021 and accrues interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum. In the event that the Seller Note has not been repaid prior to January 1, 2021, Celularity may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon into shares of the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. As this conversion option is contingent on a future event, the conversion option has not been bifurcated from the host instrument as of September 30, 2020. The Seller Note is expressly subordinate to the NWPSA “Senior Debt” described in Note 8. The Company may prepay the outstanding principal balance, together with any accrued but unpaid interest without premium or penalty. As of September 30, 2020, $4,000,000 remained outstanding and had accrued interest of $73,333.

On June 5, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with investor LGH Investments LLC (the “Investor”) for (i) a Promissory Note (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) in the original principal amount of $1,210,000, convertible into shares of common stock, (ii) warrants entitling the Investor to acquire 1,075,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) and (iii) 200,000 restricted common shares in the Company as an inducement grant (the “Inducement Shares”). Such note contained certain default provisions, as defined, resulting in net proceeds of $1,100,000. As part of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company established a reserve of shares of its authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock in the amount of 11,000,000 shares for purposes of exercise of the Warrant or conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note. The Convertible Promissory Note matures on February 5, 2021 and includes a one-time interest charge of 8% to be applied on the issuance date to the original principal amount. The Investor can convert the Convertible Promissory Note and interest at any time prior to maturity to the number of shares of common stock, equal to the amount obtained by dividing (i) the amount of the unpaid principal and interest on the note by (ii) $0.25. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.35 per share and have a term of five years and recorded in additional paid in capital by the Company. With respect to the Inducement Shares, in the event the Company’s share price has declined on the date on which the Investor seeks to have the restricted legend removed on such shares, the Company agrees to issue the Investor additional shares such that the aggregate value of the Inducement Shares equals the aggregate value of the Inducement Shares as of June 5, 2020. The Inducement Shares were issued on September 11, 2020 and included in common stock and additional paid in capital.

On August 6, 2020, the Company repaid all amounts owing to LGH Investments, LLC in the original principal amount of $1,210,000. As a result, all obligations of the Company under the convertible promissory note have been terminated. The related unamortized beneficial conversion feature and original issuance discount aggregating $433,149 was reversed and recorded to interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Warrants issued to LGH Investments, as more fully described in Note 13, contain certain anti-dilution adjustment provisions with respect to subsequent issuances of securities by the Company at a price below the exercise price of such warrants. As a result of certain dilutive issuances of securities by the Company during the third quarter of 2020, the exercise price of the Warrants decreased to $0.20 per share and the number of shares subject to the Warrants increased to 1,750,000 shares as of September 30, 2020.

SBA Loans

On May 28, 2020, the Company received proceeds from a loan in the approximate amount of $460,000 (the “PPP Loan”) from Truist Bank, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the  Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(36)) (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan matures on May 28, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. Commencing December 12, 2020, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated May 28, 2020 (the “Note”), which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. The PPP Loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) upon application by the Company beginning 60 days but not later than 120 days after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA requirements. The ultimate forgiveness of the PPP Loan is also predicated upon regulatory authorities concurring with management’s good faith assessment that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support ongoing operations. If, despite the Company’s good-faith belief that given the circumstances the Company satisfied all eligibility requirements for the PPP Loan, the Company is later determined to have violated any applicable laws or regulations or it is otherwise determined that the Company was ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, the Company may be required to repay the PPP Loan in its entirety and/or be subject to additional penalties. In the event the PPP Loan, or any portion thereof, is forgiven pursuant to the PPP, the amount forgiven is applied to outstanding principal. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company may be eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness in the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to complete the application for loan forgiveness in the fourth quarter of 2020, however, no assurance is provided that the Company will apply for, or obtain forgiveness for, any portion of the PPP Loan. As of September 30, 2020, $321,821 is classified as current and $142,514 is classified as non-current.

On June 10, 2020, the Company secured a loan offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. The principal amount of this loan was $150,000 and interest accrued at the rate of 3.75% per annum. This loan was paid off in full on August 5, 2020 with proceeds from the NWPSA Senior Notes as part of the conditions of that agreement.

Convertible notes payable, related parties and Notes payable, related parties

The notes payable, related parties as amended were issued in conjunction with the Company’s purchase of the orthopedic division of HealthTronics, Inc. The notes payable, related parties bear interest at 8% per annum, as amended. All remaining unpaid accrued interest and principal was due on December 31, 2018, as amended. HealthTronics, Inc. is a related party because it is a shareholder in the Company and has a security agreement with the Company to provide a first security interest in the assets of the Company. An Event of Default under the notes payable, related parties occurred on December 31, 2016 (“Default”). As a result of the Default, the notes payable, related parties accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum since January 2, 2017 through August 5, 2020.

At the time of issuance of the warrants, if all outstanding convertible securities were converted into shares of common stock, the Company would have exceeded its available authorized shares of common stock of 600,000,000 shares. If all outstanding convertible securities were converted into shares of common stock, the Company would have 654,558,023 shares issued and outstanding.  As a result of the limits on the Company’s authorized shares, a portion of the Company’s obligations under the warrants have been determined to be a liability.

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 are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at the option of the holder and as such required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. In accordance with the accounting guidance, 67,210,902 of 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.

Preferred Stock

On February 6, 2020, the Company entered into a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors for the sale by the Company in a private placement of an aggregate of 90 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share at a stated value equal to $25,000 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate total purchase price of $2,250,000.

On January 31, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Right and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company with the Nevada Secretary of State which amended our Articles of Incorporation to designate 90 shares of our preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. On May 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series D Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors for the sale by the Company in a private placement of an aggregate of eight shares of the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share at a stated value equal to $25,000 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate total purchase price of $200,000. On May 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Right and Limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company with the Nevada Secretary of State which amended our Articles of Incorporation to designate eight shares of our preferred stock as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

Subject to the terms of the Certificates of Designation, each share of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a rate equal to the stated value of such share of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock of $25,000, divided by the conversion price of $0.14 per share (subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Certificate of Designation). The Certificates of Designation became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. If all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock were converted into common stock at the original conversion rate, such shares would convert into an aggregate of 17,500,000 shares of common stock.

On July 23, 2020, in connection with the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved, among other matters, an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 355,000,000 to 600,000,000.  On September 20, 2020, Series C and D holders converted their preferred shares into 17,499,958 shares of common stock.

Commitments and contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company is a party to certain operating leases. The Company has entered into a lease agreement, as amended, for office space for office, research and development, quality control, production and warehouse space which expires on December 31, 2021. Under the terms of the lease, the Company pays monthly rent of $14,651, subject to a 3% adjustment on an annual basis.

For leases where the Company is the lessee, ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date (except we used the practical expedients and recorded the outstanding operating lease at January 1, 2019) based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease did not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company used the equivalent borrowing rate for a secured financing with the term of that equal to the remaining life of the lease at inception. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability did not include options to extend or termination of the lease; there are none and there is no reasonable certainty that the Company would extend the lease at expiration. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. The Company has lease agreements which require payments for lease and non-lease components and has elected to account for these as separate lease components. Non-leasing components are not included in the ROU asset.

Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusive would be anti-dilutive and consist of the following:

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report, and together with our audited consolidated financial statements, related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report”).

Overview

We are a shock wave technology company using a patented system of noninvasive, high-energy, acoustic shock waves for regenerative medicine and other applications. Our initial focus is regenerative medicine utilizing noninvasive, acoustic shock waves to produce a biological response resulting in the body healing itself through the repair and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal, and vascular structures.

Our lead regenerative product in the United States is the dermaPACE® device, used for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies. On December 28, 2017, the U.S. FDA granted the Company’s request to classify the dermaPACE System as a Class II device via the de novo process. As a result of this decision, the Company was able to immediately market the product for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) as described in the De Novo request, subject to the general control provisions of the FD&C Act and the special controls identified in this order.

On August 6, 2020 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Celularity pursuant to which the Company acquired Celularity’s UltraMIST assets.  The UltraMIST® System provides through a fluid mist a low-frequency, non-contact, and pain free ultrasound energy deep inside the wound bed that promotes healing from within. The ultrasound acoustic waves promote healing by reducing inflammation and bacteria in the wound bed, while also increasing the growth of new blood vessels to the area.  The UltraMIST® System treatment must be administered by a healthcare professional.  This proprietary technology has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the promotion of wound healing through wound cleansing and maintenance debridement combined with ultrasound energy deposited inside the wound that stimulated tissue regeneration.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, on August 6, 2020, the Company entered into a license and marketing agreement with Celularity pursuant to which Celularity granted to the Company a license to the Celularity wound care biologic products, Biovance® and Interfyl®. The License Agreement provides the Company with an exclusive license to use, market, distribute and sell Biovance® in the Field and Territory (each as defined in the License Agreement), and a non-exclusive license to use, market, distribute and sell Interfyl® in the Field in the Territory. The License Agreement has an initial five year term, after which it automatically renews for additional one year periods, unless either party gives written notice at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the current term.

Our portfolio of healthcare products and product candidates activate biologic signaling and angiogenic responses, including new vascularization and microcirculatory improvement, helping to restore the body’s normal healing processes and regeneration. We intend to apply our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression (PACE®) technology in wound healing, orthopedic, plastic/cosmetic and cardiac conditions. The Company is marketing its dermaPACE System for treatment usage in the United States and will continue to generate revenue from sales of the European Conformity Marking (CE Mark) devices and accessories in Europe, Canada, Asia, and Asia/Pacific. The Company generates revenue streams from dermaPACE treatments, product sales, licensing transactions and other activities.

Our lead product candidate for the global wound care market, dermaPACE, has received FDA clearance for commercial use to treat diabetic foot ulcers in the United States and the CE Mark allowing for commercial use on acute and chronic defects of the skin and subcutaneous soft tissue. We believe we have demonstrated that our patented technology is safe and effective in stimulating healing in chronic conditions of the foot and the elbow through our United States FDA Class III Premarket Approvals (“PMAs”) approved OssaTron® device, and in the stimulation of bone and chronic tendonitis regeneration in the musculoskeletal environment through the utilization of our OssaTron, Evotron®, and orthoPACE® devices in Europe and Asia.

We are focused on developing our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression (PACE) technology to activate healing in:


wound conditions, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial ulcers, pressure sores, burns and other skin eruption conditions;

orthopedic applications, such as eliminating chronic pain in joints from trauma, arthritis or tendons/ligaments inflammation, speeding the healing of fractures (including nonunion or delayed-union conditions), improving bone density in osteoporosis, fusing bones in the extremities and spine, and other potential sports injury applications;

plastic/cosmetic applications such as cellulite smoothing, graft and transplant acceptance, skin tightening, scarring and other potential aesthetic uses; and

cardiac applications for removing plaque due to atherosclerosis improving heart muscle performance.

In addition to healthcare uses, our high-energy, acoustic pressure shock waves, due to their powerful pressure gradients and localized cavitational effects, may have applications in secondary and tertiary oil exploitation, for cleaning industrial waters and food liquids and finally for maintenance of industrial installations by disrupting biofilms formation. Our business approach will be through licensing and/or partnership opportunities.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. Since then, the COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread across the globe and has already resulted in significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse financial impact on the Company’s operations to date, the pandemic has resulted in the decreased demand for a broad variety of products, including from our customers, and will also disrupt supply channels and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until the disease is contained. Future impacts of the pandemic and any resulting economic impact are largely unknown and rapidly evolving. It is difficult at this time to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business and operations. We have received funds for disaster relief loans through the SBA to help minimize the impact on our business.

We were formed as a Nevada corporation in 2004. We maintain a public internet site at www.sanuwave.com. The information on our websites is not part of this Form 10-Q.

Recent Clinical Highlights and Updates

A dosage study has been developed for launch in Poland to optimize dermaPACE system treatment dosage for producing a more rapid reduction in size of a diabetic foot ulcer (“DFU”). The focus will be on increasing the number of shock waves delivered per treatment, as a function of DFUs area. To determine the dosage necessary, three new distinctive regimens will be assessed during the study. This study started in April 2019 and is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2020, depending on availability of patients due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A post-market pilot study to evaluate the effects of high energy acoustic shock wave therapy on local skin perfusion and healing of DFUs will be conducted at two sites: one in New Jersey and one in California. The intent of this trial is to quantify the level of increased perfusion and oxygenation during and after treatment with the dermaPACE system. This study started in April 2019 and is expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2020, depending on availability of patients due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Financial Overview

Since our inception, our operations have primarily been funded from the sale of capital stock, notes payable, and convertible debt securities. We expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of the dermaPACE System and UltraMIST product line and will continue to research and develop the non-medical uses of the PACE technology, both of which will require additional capital resources. We incurred a net loss of $6,011,730 and $2,748,018 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and $12,645,898 and $7,679,766 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the September 30, 2019, respectively. These factors create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the financial statement issuance date. Although no assurances can be given, we believe that potential additional issuances of equity, debt or other potential financing will provide the necessary funding for us to continue as a going concern for the next year. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further information regarding our financial condition.

We cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing and costs of the efforts necessary to complete the development and approval of, or the period in which material net cash flows are expected to be generated from, any of our products, due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing and marketing products, including the uncertainty of:


the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials;

future clinical trial results;

the cost and timing of regulatory approvals;

the establishment of successful marketing, sales and distribution channels and partnerships, including our efforts to expand our marketing, sales and distribution reach through joint ventures and other contractual arrangements;

the cost and timing associated with establishing reimbursement for our products;

the effects of competing technologies and market developments; and

the industry demand and patient wellness behavior.

Any failure to complete the development of our product candidates in a timely manner, or any failure to successfully market and commercialize our product candidates, would have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial position and liquidity. A discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with us and our business are set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business” in our 2019 Annual Report.

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (15 U.S.C. 636(a)(36)) (the “CARES Act”) to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of Social Security taxes, technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property, and the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits.

On May 29, 2020, the Company received the proceeds from a loan in the amount of approximately $460,000 (the “PPP Loan”) from Truist Bank, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of under the CARES Act. The PPP Loan matures on May 28, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. Commencing December 12, 2020, the Company is required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated May 28, 2020, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. The PPP Loan may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Under the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company may be eligible for full or partial loan forgiveness in the fourth quarter of 2020, however, no assurance is provided that the Company will apply for, or obtain forgiveness for, any portion of the PPP Loan.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to the recording of the allowances for doubtful accounts, estimated reserves for inventory, estimated useful life of property and equipment, the determination of the valuation allowance for deferred taxes, the estimated fair value of the warrant liability, and the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on authoritative literature and pronouncements, historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The results of our operations for any historical period are not necessarily indicative of the results of our operations for any future period.

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements filed with our 2019 Annual Report. For a description of recent accounting policies and the impact on our financial statements, refer to Note 3 in the condensed consolidated financial statements in this 10-Q filing.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues in 2020 was primarily due to sales of Ultramist, Biovance and Interfyl which have a 60% gross profit and increase in high margin dermaPACE treatment fees.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $432,155, compared to $299,903 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $132,252, or 44%. The increase in research and development expenses in 2020, as compared to 2019, was due to higher salary and related costs due to increased headcount as a result of the Celularity asset acquisition and Profile repackaging project in 2020.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $1,373,475, compared to $335,472 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $1,038,003, or 309%. The increase in selling and marketing expenses in 2020, as compared to 2019, was due to higher salary and related costs due to increased headcount as a result of the Celularity asset acquisition, higher commissions and higher costs for tradeshows.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $5,054,508, as compared to $1,802,659 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $3,251,849, or 180%. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2020, as compared to 2019, was due to engagement of specialists for integration of acquisition, implementation of ERP system and accounting for acquisition, increase in legal and consulting fees related to acquisition and increased operating costs such as utilities, rent, and IT services as a result of the acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $327,120, compared to $22,338 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $304,782 or 1,364%. The increase was due to goodwill recorded as a part of the acquisition and higher depreciation related to increase in fixed assets as a result of acquisition and leased dermaPACE devices.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) was a net expense of $242,962 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a net expense of $362,363 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $119,401, or 33% The decrease was primarily due to a a gain on warrant valuation, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt and increase in interest expense due to entering into new debt.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $6,011,730, or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2,748,018, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2019, an increase in the net loss of $3,263,712, or 118%.

Revenue resulted primarily from sales of Ultramist, Biovance and Interfyl, recognition of Brazil distribution fee and dermaPACE treatments. The increase in revenue for 2020 is primarily due to acquisition of Celularity assets and licensing fees and international distribution fees, as compared to the prior year.

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $663,630, compared to $402,657 for the same period in 2019. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 42% for the same period in 2019. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues in 2020 was primarily due to sales of Ultramist, Biovance and Interfyl which have a 60% gross profit and an increase in high margin dermaPACE treatment fees.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $983,816, compared to $867,825 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $115,991, or 13%. The increase in research and development expenses in 2020, as compared to 2019, was due to higher salary and related costs due to increased headcount as a result of the Celularity asset acquisition and Profile repackaging project in 2020.  This is partially offset by decreased study expenses related to our new dosage study in Poland due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $2,414,477, compared to $901,031 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $1513,446, or 168%. The increase in selling and marketing expenses in 2020, as compared to 2019, was due to higher salary and related costs due to increased headcount as a result of the Celularity asset acquisition and higher commissions.  There was a continued slow-down in the commercialization of dermaPACE in the third quarter of 2020 due to the COVID pandemic.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $9,529,218, as compared to $4,746,519 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $4,782,699, or 101%. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2020, as compared to 2019, was due to engagement of specialists for integration of acquisition, implementation of ERP system and accounting for acquisition, increase in legal and consulting fees related to acquisition and increased operating costs such as utilities, rent, and IT services as a result of the acquisition.

The decrease was primarily due to gain on warrant valuation. This is partially offset by an increase in interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt.

Net Loss

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $12,645,898, or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7,679,766, or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2019, an increase in the net loss of $4,966,132, or 65%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of the dermaPACE System and UltraMIST product line and will continue to research and develop the next generation of our technology as well as the non-medical uses of the PACE technology, both of which will require additional capital resources. We incurred a net loss of $12,645,898 and $7,679,766 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact on cash flows of the Company’s acquisition of certain assets of Celularity Inc., as more fully described in Note 4 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in this report. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the financial issuance date.

Since inception in 2005, our operations have primarily been funded from the sale of capital stock, notes payable, and convertible debt securities.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon raising additional capital to fund operations through the next quarter and into the first quarter of 2021. Management expects the cash used in operations for the Company will be approximately $100,000 to $205,000 per month for the second half of 2020 as resources are devoted to the commercialization of the dermaPACE product including hiring of new employees, expansion of our international business and continued research and development of next generation of our technology as well as non-medical uses of our technology. Management’s plans are to obtain additional capital in 2020 through investments by strategic partners for market opportunities, which may include strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements, or raise capital through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our existing shareholders. Although no assurances can be given, management believes that potential additional issuances of equity or other potential financing transactions as discussed above should provide the necessary funding for us. If these efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds through financing transactions with unfavorable terms. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We may also attempt to raise additional capital if there are favorable market conditions or other strategic considerations even if we have sufficient funds for planned operations. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuance of equity securities, our shareholders will experience dilution and we may be required to use some or all of the net proceeds to repay our indebtedness, and debt financings, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or may otherwise constrain our financial flexibility. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our intellectual property or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. In addition, payments made by potential collaborators or licensors generally will depend upon our achievement of negotiated development and regulatory milestones. Failure to achieve these milestones would harm our future capital position.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net cash used by operating activities was $9,779,889 and $4,684,611, respectively, primarily consisting of professional and consulting fees, compensation costs, research and development activities and general corporate operations. The increase in the use of cash for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the same period for 2019, was primarily due to the increase in net loss due to legal, professional and consulting fees related to integration of the acquisition, an increase in accrued expenses of $492,434 an increase in prepaid expenses of $502,346, an increase in accounts payable of $882,779, an increase of accrued employee compensation  of $1,091,858 and increase in interest payable, related parties of $785,132. Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $20,039,142 as compared to net cash used by investing activities for the same period in 2019 of $28,990. The increase in cash used by investing activities is due to the acquisition of UltraMIST from Celularity, as described in Note 4. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $33,449,131, which primarily consisted of $21,456,468 from private placement offerings, $13,346,547 from senior promissory notes, $2,450,000 proceeds from purchase of preferred stock, $1,100,000 from convertible notes, and $614,335 from SBA Loans. These proceeds were partially offset by debt payments of $5,457,663 and principal payments on financing leases of $114,806. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $4,738,556, which primarily consisted of $1,215,000 of proceeds from short term note, $2,055,414 of proceeds from exercise of warrants, $1,378,142 of proceeds from advances from related parties and $90,000 net increase in line of credit, related parties. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,631,136 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Segment and Geographic Information

We have determined that we have one operating segment. Our revenues are generated from sales in United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and Asia/Pacific. All significant expenses are generated in the United States and all significant assets are located in the United States.

Contractual Obligations

Our major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our operating lease for our facility, purchase and supplier obligations for product component materials and equipment, and our notes payable, related parties. We have disclosed these obligations in our 2019 Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Since inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

Effects of Inflation

Due to the fact that our assets are, to an extent, liquid in nature, they are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of inflation affects such expenses as employee compensation, office space leasing costs and research and development charges, which may not be readily recoverable during the period of time that we are bringing the product candidates to market. To the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has other adverse effects on the market, it may adversely affect our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies”.

Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively as of September 30, 2020. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the “material weakness” described below under “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the Company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).

We have identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting process resulting from a lack of internal expertise and resources to analyze and properly apply generally accepted accounting principles to complex and non-routine transactions such as complex financial instruments and derivatives and complex sales distribution agreements, a lack of internal resources to analyze and properly apply generally accepted accounting principles to accounting for equity components of service agreements with select vendors and cybersecurity breaches from email spoofing. As a result, management concluded that our internal control over reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2020.

Management’s Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses

Beginning in 2019 and continuing in 2020, we engaged external consultants with appropriate experience applying GAAP technical accounting guidance, and we have hired additional accounting personnel. We engaged external consultants to review revenue recognition for new products, lease agreements, internal controls and related procedures and review of documentation of internal controls in addition to new equity and debt financing arrangements. We hired an accounting manager in April 2019 to enhance the accounting knowledge and abilities of the department. The accounting manager’s skill set includes restructuring of accounting procedure, preparation of budgets and key analytical reports and managing all accounting functions. We also contracted with an external financial reporting consultant in 2020. Adding an additional member to the accounting team also enabled some segregation of duties and additional review procedures.

We have also implemented cybersecurity training for all employees and redesign of procedures that cyber security breaches may impact and worked with our third party IT vendor to develop a training plan for all existing and new employees related to cyber and implemented related controls around information technology infrastructure. In addition, an additional employee was hired to assist with the management of IT controls and enhance internal IT resources. Going forward, this employee will monitor our third party IT vendor’s testing and monitoring efforts and where necessary implement new controls as the Company grows. These internal controls have been documented and procedures implemented.

There is no assurance that the measures described above will be sufficient to remediate the previously identified material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management is in the process of designing updated changes to its controls as discussed above in “Management’s Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses.” Further, management is monitoring and reviewing the impact of new processes and need for additional controls due to the acquisition of the UltraMIST business during the quarter.

Item1A.
RISK FACTORS.

Sanuwave is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange on March 30, 2020, to include the following risk factor:

Sanuwave’s growth strategy includes acquisitions that entail significant execution, integration and operational risks.

Sanuwave is pursuing a growth strategy based in part on acquisitions.  In August 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Celularity pursuant to which Sanuwave acquired Celularity’s UltraMIST assets.  The UltraMIST® System is a proprietary technology cleared by the FDA for the promotion of wound healing through wound cleansing and maintenance debridement combined with ultrasound energy deposited inside the wound that stimulated tissue regeneration.  The aggregate cash and stockconsideration paid for the UltraMIST assets was $24,000,000 paid in the form of a combination of cash and debt.  This growth strategy involves significant risks.  Sanuwave is subject to operational and financial risks in connection with historical and future acquisitions if it is unable to:

 
properly value prospective acquisitions, especially those with limited operating histories;
 
successfully integrate the operations, as well as the accounting, financial controls, management information, technology, human resources and other administrative systems of acquired businesses with its existing operations and systems;
 
successfully identify and realize potential synergies among acquired and existing businesses and retain or hire senior management and other key personnel at acquired businesses; and
 
successfully manage acquisition-related strain on its management, operations and financial resources.

In connection with the acquisition of the UltraMIST assets, Sanuwave has not timely filed a Form 8-K/A containing audited historical financial statements of the acquired business assets.  The audited financial statements are required under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.  Until such time as we are able to file these financial statements for the periods required, we will not be in a position to have the SEC declare effective any registration statement.  In addition, any failure to timely file our periodic reports with the SEC could harm our reputation and reduce the market price of our common stock.

Furthermore, Sanuwave may not be successful in addressing other challenges encountered in connection with its acquisitions. The anticipated benefits of one or more of its acquisitions may not be realized or the value of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired could be impacted by one or more continuing unfavorable events or trends, which could result in significant impairment charges. The occurrence of any these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Acquisitions also involve operational risks and uncertainties, such as unknown or contingent liabilities with no available manner of recourse, exposure to unexpected problems, the retention of key employees and customers, and other issues that could negatively affect our business. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
