OF CONTENTS
LETTER
TO STOCKHOLDERS
Dear
Fellow PolarityTE Stockholders,
The
last 18 months has been a very productive time for PolarityTE: we completed our merger to become a publicly-traded regenerative
biomaterials company, established our new headquarters and manufacturing facility, registered and successfully launched our first
commercial product, SkinTE, achieved multiple pipeline milestones, and continued to build our experienced and passionate team.
Highlights from this pivotal year include:
The
PolarityTE Priority—Patients:
Over the last 18 months, PolarityTE has truly transformed! With over 100 employees (50%
with graduate degrees), the Company has built a fierce team with tremendous focus on our primary cause—the development of
tangible and pragmatic technologies that aim to improve and transform patients’ lives. To achieve this goal, we want our
technologies to do more than work in a laboratory dish—we strive to develop solutions that can withstand and overcome the
challenges faced in the trenches of medicine.
The
PolarityTEAM—Corporate Growth:
Recognizing the incredible value in human capital, PolarityTE has built a management
team and Board of Directors which allow the Company to grow, develop and execute both effectively and efficiently. These include
industry veterans from the likes of Medtronic, Smith & Nephew, and McKesson, and seasoned financial markets experts from premier
investment funds and investment banks, including Highbridge Capital Management and Cowen.
An
Effective Translation SkinTE from Bench to Bedside:
In 2H 2017 we commercialized our first product, SkinTE, beginning with
a limited market release. To progress from the bench to animal models to commercial production in just 18 months provides a great
testimony to the abilities of our amazing team of scientists and clinicians that have joined our company.
Design,
Development and Scalable Buildout of PolarityTE’s New Biomedical Manufacturing Facility:
In 1H 2018 we moved our headquarters
to a new 200,000 sq. ft facility in Salt Lake City and completed the construction and validation of our first manufacturing suite.
In anticipation of strong demand for our products, we are now constructing and validating a second and third manufacturing suite.
A
Strategic and Staged Commercial Launch Process for SkinTE:
During our limited market release of SkinTE we targeted treatment
of up to fifty patients in the United States. This involved providers using SkinTE to treat patients suffering from numerous complex
wounds including large burn patients, acute trauma, chronic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers and even an epidermolysis bullosa patient.
Feedback from patients and providers has been encouraging and suggests that SkinTE will play a major role in the treatment of
these types of wounds in the future. We also hosted a KOL (Key Opinion Leader) Summit in NYC on June 25, 2018 for investors, where
providers presented clinical outcomes from various cases. The webcast of this event can be found on our website.
PolarityTE’s
Pipeline, Platform Propagation, and Technology Evolution:
We continue to develop our Core “TE” pipeline and we
have now completed preclinical validation studies for OsteoTE, which we hope to commercialize by the end of 2018, with a limited
market release commencing in early 2019. In addition, our R&D team has continued to advance related technology derivatives
from our core technology, with potential applications across a variety of tissue types.
Returns
Follow Reality:
Since the announcement of our definitive merger agreement on December 8, 2016, we have delivered a total shareholder
return of over 570%. This compares to the 29% return delivered by the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index over the same period.
SkinTE
Head to Head Clinical Trials and Upcoming Clinical Studies:
Clinical trials at multiple centers were initiated in 2018 comparing
the SkinTE tissue product to the current clinical standard of care, split-thickness skin grafts (STSG). We have continued to observe
successful interim results which remain consistent with what the company has seen in both preclinical studies and early data from
SkinTE clinical use. PolarityTE will continue to develop additional clinical studies and trials for SkinTE as well as upcoming
core TE technologies and related technology derivatives.
SkinTE
HCPCS:
In 2018, PolarityTE applied for HCPCS code for the SkinTE tissue product and received a recommendation from CMS for
a SkinTE-specific product code to be initiated in January 2019.
Strategic
Acquisition of Contract Research Organization:
In 2018, PolarityTE performed a strategic growth acquisition of the region’s
only Pre-Clinical GLP Contract Research Organization (CRO), which was an important step for the development of our strategic initiative,
PolarityRD. The fully-operational and profitable CRO business, facility, and team is expected to continue to deliver high-quality
work to outside parties, while the advanced PolarityTE pre-clinical product prototypes and technologies will be separately monitored
and developed by Johns Hopkins recruit and Chief Veterinary Officer, Caroline Garrett DVM.
Creation
of the PolarityTE ARC:
In 2018, subsequent to significant developments and advancements in the Company’s technology
and understanding of related technology derivatives (RTDs), PolarityTE sought to further expand beyond the company’s core
“TE” research and development efforts into a highly advanced and innovative research group which focuses on new composite
technologies, gene transfer, small molecule discovery and synthesis, devices and advanced biologics. This research will be conducted
at the PolarityTE Advanced Research Center (ARC).
Development
of PolarityRD and PolarityIS:
In 2018, the parent PolarityTE announced the strategic formation of two significant initial
corporate arms PolarityRD and PolarityIS, which have begun operation. PolarityRD, a service-based research and development arm
seeks to improve, enhance, support, and drive forward promising research with customers, industry partners and academic institutions
by leveraging the extraordinary human capital and equipment that PolarityTE has acquired since its inception. PolarityIS, a corporate
development arm, aims to seek out new and novel growth strategies involving M&A, licensure and partnerships related to PolarityTE
technologies, products and services.
PolarityTE’s
Digital Face—Development and Deployment of the PolarityTE RTA:
In 2018, in an effort to improve quality and direct communication
with medical providers, PolarityTE initiated the release of the PolarityTE Real-Time Assistant (RTA), our real-time digital product
support system which puts providers in touch with the provider-led PolarityTE Clinical Operations team 24 hours a day.
Continued
Development of Intellectual Property:
Twelve of the Company’s U.S. trademark applications have been allowed and the
Company is now in the active prosecution phase with all three of its U.S. non-provisional patent applications: U.S. Application
No. 14/954,335 published as US 2016/0151540; U.S. Application No. 15/650,656 published as US 2018/0154043; and U.S. Application
No. 15/650,659 published as US 2018/0154044. The Company continues to actively file patent and trademark applications to protect
its intellectual property and build out its patent portfolio as it relates to core cell-tissue biotechnologies and advanced related
technology derivates (RTDs).
The
PolarityTE Vision and Pragmatic Translation of Technology Going Forward:
Over the next year, we look forward to the continued
execution of our business plan. We expect additional SkinTE clinical data to become available, we plan for the evidence of our
products’ clinical utility to be presented at conferences and in journals, and finally we expect to grow the organization
globally. We aim to grow revenues and build a company that will be capable of becoming a profitable enterprise which we hope will
continue to deliver strong returns for our stockholders.
We
are proud of the corporate and clinical advances made this year, and we remain relentlessly focused on bringing our Core “TE”
platform out of the lab and into the clinic. On behalf of my colleagues, I want to extend my gratitude for your support of PolarityTE
and our mission. Welcome to the Shift!
Sincerely,
Denver
M. Lough
Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer
PolarityTE,
Inc.
OUR
COMPANY
We
are a commercial-stage biotechnology and regenerative biomaterials company focused on transforming the lives of patients by discovering,
designing and developing a range of regenerative tissue products and biomaterials for the fields of medicine, biomedical engineering
and material sciences. We believe that our PolarityTE platform technology is a new approach to pragmatic and functional tissue
regeneration that has the potential to address many of the challenges currently facing the regenerative medicine and cell therapy
markets to date. Recognizing the natural complexity of human tissue, our core “TE” platform begins with a small piece
of the patient’s own, or autologous, healthy tissue, rather than artificially manipulated individual cells. From this small
piece of healthy autologous tissue, we create an easily deployable, dynamic and self-propagating product, which is designed to
enhance and stimulate the patient’s own cells to regenerate the target tissues. Rather than manufacturing with synthetic
and foreign materials within artificially engineered environments, we believe our proprietary method promotes and accelerates
the patient’s tissues to undergo a form of effective regenerative healing, and uses the patient’s own body to support
the regenerative process to create the same tissue from which they were derived.
We
believe our core “TE” platform has applications across many different indications, including, but not limited to,
the regrowth of skin, bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels and neural elements as well as solid and hollow organ composite
tissue systems. Our first product, SkinTE™, is registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
pursuant to the regulatory pathway for human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”) regulated
solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (“361 HCT/Ps”), which permits qualifying products to be
marketed without first obtaining FDA marketing authorization or approval, and is commercially available for the repair, reconstruction,
replacement and regeneration of skin (i.e., homologous uses) for patients who have suffered from wounds, burns or injuries that
require skin coverage over both small and large areas of their body.
To
date, SkinTE has been used in a limited number of patients suffering from replacement of prior skin grafts, acute surgical reconstruction,
acute wound treatment, chronic wound treatment, acute burn treatment, post-burn reconstruction, scar and contracture revision,
keloid and hypertrophic scar revision, subacute burn and wound reconstruction, coverage and/or replacement of skin substitutes,
failed skin graft replacement, failed flaps coverage and soft tissue coverage in previously infected defects. The results we have
observed from the ongoing early stages of the human clinical application of SkinTE continue to be correlative with our preclinical
observations.

Holders
of Common Stock.
On January 26, 2018, we had 120 registered holders of record of our common stock.
Dividends
and dividend policy.
Prior to October 31, 2015, we had never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. On January
4, 2016, we declared a special cash dividend of an aggregate of $10.0 million to be paid to holders of record on January 14, 2016
of our outstanding shares of: (i) common stock (ii) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; (iii) Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock; (iv) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and (v) Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The holders of record of our outstanding
preferred stock participated in receiving their pro rata portion of the dividend on an “as converted” basis. The dividend
was paid January 15, 2016. We do not anticipate paying future dividends at the present time. We currently intend to retain earnings,
if any, for use in our business.
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 consolidated
financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
On
December 1, 2016
,
Majesco Entertainment Company (
n/k/a
PolarityTE, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of Polarity NV (as defined below), a regenerative medicine company. The asset
acquisition was subject to shareholder approval, which was received on March 10, 2017 and the transaction closed on April 7, 2017,
as more fully described below. In January 2017, the Company changed its name to “PolarityTE, Inc.” (“Polarity”).
On
December 1, 2016, the Company appointed Dr. Denver Lough as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientific Officer and Chairman of
our Board of Directors and Dr. Ned Swanson as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Until their respective appointments, both
doctors were associated with Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, as full-time residents. On December 1, 2016, Dr. Lough
assigned the patent application as well as all related intellectual property to a newly-formed Nevada corporation, Polarityte,
Inc. (“Polarity NV”), and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”)
with Polarity NV and Dr. Lough. As a result, at closing, the patent application would be owned by the Company without the need
for further assignments or recordation with the Patent Trademark Office.
On
April 7, 2017, the Company issued 7,050 shares of its newly authorized Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred
Shares”) convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately
$104.7 million which is equal to 7,050,000 common shares times $14.85 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock as
of April 7, 2017) to Dr. Lough for the purchase of Polarity NV’s assets. Since the assets purchased were in-process research
and development assets, the total purchase price was immediately expensed as research and development - intellectual property
acquired since they have no alternative future use.
PolarityTE,
Inc. is aiming to be the first company to deliver regenerative medicine into clinical practice through tissue engineering. Subsequent
to the acquisition, the Company’s platform technology will allow it to regenerate a patient’s tissues using their
own cells.
Research
and Development Expenses.
Research and development expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including stock compensation,
for research and development executives and staff, lab and office expenses and other overhead charges.
Research
and Development - Intellectual Property Acquired.
On April 7, 2017, as payment for the Polarity NV asset acquisition, the
Company issued 7,050 shares of Series E Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock and with a fair value of approximately $104.7 million which is equal to 7,050,000 common shares times $14.85 (the
closing price of the Company’s common stock as of April 7, 2017). Since the assets purchased were in-process research and
development assets, the total purchase price was immediately expensed as research and development - intellectual property acquired
since they have no alternative future use.
General
and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including stock
compensation, for corporate executive and support staff, general office expenses, professional fees and various other overhead
charges. Professional fees, including legal and accounting expenses, typically represent one of the largest components of our
general and administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a publicly traded company,
such as SEC filings, and corporate- and business-development initiatives.
Discontinued
Operations.
On June 23, 2017, the Company sold Majesco Entertainment Company, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company (“Majesco”) to Zift Interactive LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Purchaser”)
pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company sold to the
Purchaser 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Majesco, including all of the right, title and interest
in and to Majesco’s business of developing, publishing and distributing video game products through both retail distribution
and mobile and online digital downloading. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will receive total cash consideration
of approximately $100,000 ($5,000 upon signing the Agreement and 19 additional monthly payments of $5,000) plus contingent consideration
based on net revenues.
Income
Taxes.
Income taxes consist of our provisions for income taxes, as affected by our net operating loss carryforwards. Future
utilization of our net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change
in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL carryforwards
before utilization. Due to our history of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset our NOL and other deferred
tax assets has been established under current accounting pronouncements, and this valuation allowance will be maintained unless
sufficient positive evidence develops to support its reversal.
In
December 2017, the federal government enacted numerous amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 pursuant to an act known
by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”). The TCJA may impact the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) from
continuing operations in future periods. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets and
therefore any impact on the value of the company’s deferred tax assets will be offset by a change in the valuation allowance.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.
The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We
have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The
impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial
results.
Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the
award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date
requires judgment, including, in the case of stock option awards, estimating expected stock volatility. In addition, judgment
is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly
from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
Accounting
for Common and Preferred Stock and Warrant transactions.
We issued units consisting of preferred shares and warrants and common
stock and warrants and subsequently remeasured certain of those warrants. Determining the fair value of the securities in these
transactions requires significant judgment, including adjustments to quoted share prices and expected stock volatility. Such estimates
may significantly impact our results of operations and losses applicable to common stockholders.
Commitments
and Contingencies.
We record a liability for contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable. We record
associated legal fees as incurred.
Results
of Operations
Year
ended October 31, 2017 versus the year ended October 31, 2016
Research
and Development Expenses.
For the year ended October 31, 2017, research and development expenses were approximately $7.1 million.
Research and development costs consist of salaries of approximately $2.4 million, stock-based compensation of approximately of
$1.8 million, travel related expenses of approximately $664,000, trade show related expenses of $530,000, medical equipment depreciation
of approximately $431,000, consulting expense of $240,000, rent expense of $206,000, samples expense of $179,000, medical study
expense of $174,000, health insurance of $166,000 and various other expenses totaling approximately $393,000. There was no research
and development activity in the comparative 2016 period.
Research
and Development - Intellectual Property Acquired.
For the year ended October 31, 2017, research and development - intellectual
property acquired relates to the Polarity NV asset acquisition and the issuance of 7,050 shares of Series E Preferred Stock convertible
into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately $104.7 million which
is equal to 7,050,000 common shares times $14.85 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of April 7, 2017).
Since the assets purchased were in-process research and development assets, the total purchase price was immediately expensed
as research and development - intellectual property acquired since there is no alternative future use. There was no research and
development – intellectual property acquired activity in the comparative 2016 period.
General
and Administrative Expenses.
For the year ended October 31, 2017, general and administrative expenses increased $14.7 million
to approximately $18.8 million compared to $4.1 million for the year ended October 31, 2016. The increase is primarily due to
increased stock-based compensation of approximately $12.8 million and increased headcount and salaries related to the Company’s
new medical activities.
Loss
from continuing operations.
Loss from continuing operations for the year ended October 31, 2017 was approximately $130.5 million,
compared to a loss of approximately $3.8 million in the comparable period in 2016, primarily reflecting higher research and development
- intellectual property acquired expenses and stock-based compensation expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of October 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $17.7 million and our working capital was approximately $2.5 million,
compared to cash and equivalents of $6.5 million and working capital of $5.4 million at October 31, 2016.
As
reflected in the consolidated financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $259.0 million at October 31,
2017, a loss of approximately $130.5 million from continuing operations and approximately $7.6 million net cash used in continuing
operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
We
will continue to pursue fundraising opportunities that meet our long-term objectives, however, our cash position is not sufficient
to support our operations through December 2018. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Series
E Preferred Shares
On
April 7, 2017, the Company issued 7,050 shares of its newly authorized Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred
Shares”) convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately
$104.7 million which is equal to 7,050,000 common shares times $14.85 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock as
of April 7, 2017) to Dr. Lough for the purchase of the Polarity NV’s assets.
The
Preferred E Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of
such Preferred E Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion
price. The stated value of each Preferred E Share is $1,000 and the initial conversion price is $1.00 per share, each subject
to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. The Preferred
E Shares, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, in each case will rank senior
to the Company’s common stock and all other securities of the Company that do not expressly provide that such securities
rank on parity with or senior to the Preferred E Shares. Until converted, each Preferred E Share is entitled to two votes for
every share of common stock into which it is convertible on any matter submitted for a vote of stockholders. The Preferred E Shares
participate on an “as converted” basis with all dividends declared on the Company’s common stock.
Redeemable
Series F Preferred Shares
On
September 20, 2017, the Company sold an aggregate of $17,750,000 worth of units (the “Units”) of the Company’s
securities to accredited investors at a purchase price of $2,750 per Unit with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s
newly authorized 6% Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”),
which are convertible into one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) a two-year warrant to purchase
322,727 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $30.00 per share. The Company incurred issuance costs
of approximately $356,000 associated with the Unit offering.
The
Company entered into separate registration rights agreements, and subsequently amended such agreements, with each of the investors,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to undertake to file a registration statement to register the resale of the conversion shares
and warrant shares within 150 days of the closing of the transaction, to cause such registration statement to be declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission within ninety days following its filing and to maintain the effectiveness of the registration
statement until all of such conversion shares and warrant shares have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act, without any restrictions. In the event the Company fails to file, or obtain effectiveness of, such
registration statement with the specified period of time, the Company will be obligated to pay liquidated damages equal to the
product of one 1% percent multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by such investor for every thirty (30) days during
which such filing is not made and/or effectiveness obtained, such fee being subject to certain exceptions, up to a maximum of
twelve 12% percent.
Pursuant
to the subscription agreements, for as long as the lead investor holds securities, except with certain issuances, the Company
shall not incur any senior debt or issue any preferred stock with liquidation rights senior to the securities sold thereunder.
During this period, the Company will not, without the consent of the investors holding a majority of the then issued and outstanding
shares on the date of such consent (including the lead investor), enter into any equity line of credit or similar agreement, nor
issue nor agree to issue any common stock, common stock equivalents, floating or variable priced equity linked instruments nor
any of the foregoing or equity with price reset rights (subject to adjustment for stock splits, distributions, dividends, recapitalizations
and the like).
The
shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion calculation
equal to the stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series F Preferred
Stock, as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each share of Series F Preferred
Stock is $2,750 and the initial conversion price is $27.50 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events.
Each
holder of a Series F Preferred Share is entitled to receive dividends, in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock
on the stated value of each share at the dividend rate, which shall be cumulative and shall continue to accrue and compound quarterly
whether or not declared and whether or not in any fiscal year there shall be net profits or surplus available for the payment
of dividends in such fiscal year. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day of the next applicable
quarter, to the record holders of the Series F Preferred Stock on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the
dividend payment date in shares of common stock, calculated using the VWAP of the common stock on the ninety (90) days immediately
preceding the dividend record date; provided, however, that the Company may, at its option, pay dividends in cash or in a combination
of common shares and cash.
Upon
the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of preferred
shares shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Company legally available therefor, a preferential
amount in cash equal to (and not more than) $2,750.
On
the two (2) year anniversary of the initial issuance date, any share of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding and not otherwise
already converted, shall, at the option of the holder, either (i) automatically convert into common stock of the Company at the
conversion price then in effect or (ii) be repaid by the Company based on the stated value of such outstanding shares of Series
F Preferred Stock. In addition, in the event that the Company’s common stock attains a consolidated bid price of $45 or
greater for any four (4) trading days during any eight (8) trading day period, the Series F Preferred Stock shall be automatically
converted to common stock, without any further action by the holder (subject to the conversion limitation in the event that such
conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of four and ninety-nine one-hundredths (4.99%) percent of the common
stock of the Company).
The
warrants issued in connection with the Series F Preferred Stock are liabilities pursuant to ASC 815. The warrant agreement provides
for an adjustment to the number of common shares issuable under the warrant and/or adjustment to the exercise price, including
but not limited to, if: (a) the Company issues shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution to holders of its common stock;
(b) the Company subdivides or combines its common stock (i.e., stock split); (c) adjustment of exercise price upon issuance of
new securities at less than the exercise price. Under ASC 815, warrants that provide for down-round exercise price protection
are recognized as derivative liabilities.
The
conversion feature within the Series F Preferred Stock is not clearly and closely related to the identified host instrument and,
as such, is recognized as a derivative liability measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 815.
The
initial fair value of the warrants and bifurcated embedded conversion feature, estimated to be approximately $4.3 million and
$9.3 million, respectively, was deducted from the gross proceeds of the Unit offering to arrive at the initial discounted carrying
value of the Series F Preferred Stock. The resulting discount to the aggregate stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock of
approximately $13.6 million will be recognized as accretion, similar to preferred stock dividends, over the two-year period prior
to optional redemption by the holders. The Company recognized accretion of the discount to the stated value of the Series F Preferred
Stock of approximately $369,000 in the year ended October 31, 2017 as a reduction of additional paid-in capital and an increase
in the carrying value of the Series F Preferred Stock. The accretion is presented in the Statement of Operations as a deemed dividend,
increasing net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders.
Preferred
Share Conversion Activity
During
the year ended October 31, 2017, 3,991,487 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, 6,512 shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock Series B, 23,185 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series C and 129,665 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series
D were converted into 1,590,631 shares of common stock.
Common
Stock
On
January 18, 2017, the Company entered into separate exchange agreements (each an “Exchange Agreement”) with certain
accredited investors (the “Investors”) who purchased warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock
(the “Warrants”) pursuant to the prospectus dated April 13, 2016. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 250,000
shares of the Company’s common stock and Warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock (taking into account the reverse
split of the Company’s common stock on a 1 for 6 basis effective with The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on August 1, 2016). The
common stock and Warrants were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement.
Under
the terms of the Exchange Agreement, each Investor exchanged each Warrant it purchased in the Offering for 0.3 shares of common
stock. Accordingly, the Company issued an aggregate of 56,250 shares of common stock in exchange for the return and cancellation
of 187,500 Warrants.
During
the year ended October 31, 2017, certain employees exercised their options at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.84 in exchange
for the Company’s common stock for an aggregated amount of 268,847 shares.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of October 31, 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
Our
management currently believes that inflation has not had, and does not currently have, a material impact on continuing operations.
Cash
Flows
Cash
and cash equivalents and working capital were approximately $17.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, as of October 31, 2017
compared to approximately $6.5 million and $5.4 million at October 31, 2016, respectively.
Operating
Cash Flows.
Cash used in continuing operating activities in the year ended October 31, 2017 amounted to approximately $7.6
million compared to approximately $1.9 million for the 2016 period. The increase in net cash used in continuing operating activities
mostly relates to the increase in net loss, partially offset by the research and development - intellectual property acquired
paid for in preferred shares and by the increase in share-based compensation.
Cash
provided by discontinued operating activities in the year ended October 31, 2017 amounted to approximately $33,000 compared to
approximately $113,000 for the 2016 period.
Investing
Cash Flows.
Cash used in continuing investing activities in the year ended October 31, 2017 amounted to approximately $2.5
million. The $2.5 million relates to the purchase of property and equipment (mostly medical equipment). There were no investing
activities in the 2016 period.
Financing
Cash Flows.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the year ended October 31, 2017 amounted to approximately $21.2 million
compared to approximately $8.8 million used in the 2016 period. For the year ended October 31, 2017, the $21.2 million related
to capital raising activities and proceeds from option exercises. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the $8.8 million mostly
related to a payment of a $10.0 million special cash dividend, partially offset by an equity capital raise of approximately $1.4
million.
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
PolarityTE,
Inc.
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PolarityTE, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as
of October 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows
for each of the years then ended. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of PolarityTE, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has sustained cumulative losses and recurring cash
outflows from operations through October 31, 2017 that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.
PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Asset
Acquisition and Name Change.
On December 1, 2016
,
Majesco Entertainment Company (
n/k/a
PolarityTE, Inc.), a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of Polarity NV (as defined below),
a regenerative medicine company. The asset acquisition was subject to shareholder approval, which was received on March 10, 2017
and the transaction closed on April 7, 2017, as more fully described below. In January 2017, the Company changed its name to “PolarityTE,
Inc.”
On
December 1, 2016, the Company appointed Dr. Denver Lough as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientific Officer and Chairman of
our Board of Directors and Dr. Ned Swanson as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Until their respective appointments, both
doctors were associated with Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, as full-time residents. On December 1, 2016, Dr. Lough
assigned the patent application as well as all related intellectual property to a newly-formed Nevada corporation, Polarityte,
Inc. (“Polarity NV”), and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”)
with Polarity NV and Dr. Lough. As a result, at closing, the patent application would be owned by the Company without the need
for further assignments or recordation with the Patent Trademark Office.
On
April 7, 2017, the Company issued 7,050 shares of its newly authorized Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred
Shares”) convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately
$104.7 million which is equal to 7,050,000 common shares times $14.85 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock as
of April 7, 2017) to Dr. Lough for the purchase of the Polarity NV’s assets. Since the assets purchased were in-process
research and development assets, the total purchase price was immediately expensed as research and development - intellectual
property acquired since they have no alternative future use.
Drs.
Lough and Swanson lead the Company’s current efforts focused on scientific research and development and in this regard on
December 1, 2016, the Company leased laboratory space and purchased laboratory equipment in Salt Lake City, Utah. Subsequent expenditures
include the purchase of medical equipment, including microscopes for high end real-time imaging of cells and tissues required
for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research. The Company has added additional facilities, and established university
and scientific relationships and collaborations in order to pursue its business. None of these activities were performed by Dr.
Lough or Dr. Swanson prior to December 1, 2016 in connection with their university positions or privately.
Dr.
Lough is the named inventor under a pending patent application for a novel regenerative medicine and tissue engineering platform
filed in the United States and elsewhere. The Company believes that its future success depends significantly on its ability to
protect its inventions and technology. Prior to December 1, 2016, no employees, consultants or partners engaged in any business
activity related to the patent application and no licenses or contracts were granted related to the patent application, other
than professional services related to preparation and filing of the patent.
There
was never any intent to acquire an ongoing business and no ongoing business was acquired. The asset is preserved in a stand-alone
entity merely as a vehicle to provide the Company a seamless means to acquire the asset (a patent application) without undue cost,
expense and time. Polarity NV has never had employees and, therefore, no employees were acquired in the transaction.
The
Company adopted ASU 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business
, during the first
quarter of fiscal 2017. In accordance with ASU 2017-01 we analyzed the above transaction noting that substantially all the fair
value of the gross assets acquired were concentrated in a single intellectual property asset and Polarity NV had no employees
on the acquisition date. The Company further considered that Polarity NV’s intellectual property did not generate any revenue
and never had any employees or workforce. On December 1, 2016, prior to any Polarity NV acquisition, the Company hired Denver
Lough as its Chief Executive and Chief Scientific Officer and Edward Swanson as Chief Operating Officer. Both of these executives
were employed full-time by Johns Hopkins University and were not employed by Polarity NV. In December 2016, the Company established
a clinical advisory board and added three members in December 2016 and three more in January 2017. Establishing the clinical advisory
board and hiring a COO are critical to establishing at the Company for the first time a workforce that has the knowledge and experience
to obtain regulatory approval of the Company’s intellectual property. Therefore, the acquisition of an intellectual property
asset and no employees from Polarity NV on April 7, 2017 did not represent the acquisition of an organized workforce with the
necessary skills and experience to create outputs.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Discontinued
Operations.
On June 23, 2017, the Company sold Majesco Entertainment Company, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company (“Majesco Sub”) to Zift Interactive LLC (“Zift”), a Nevada limited liability company pursuant
to a purchase agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company sold 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of Majesco Sub to Zift, including all of the right, title and interest in and to Majesco Sub’s business of
developing, publishing and distributing video game products through mobile and online digital downloading. Pursuant to the terms
of the agreement, the Company will receive total cash consideration of approximately $100,000 ($5,000 upon signing the agreement
and 19 additional monthly payments of $5,000) plus contingent consideration based on net revenues valued at $0. As of October
31, 2017, the Company received $25,000 in cash consideration and $75,000 remains receivable.
As
a result of the transaction above, the Company disposed entirely of its gaming business assets and intends to devote its resources
and attention to its regenerative medicine efforts going forward.
Segments.
With the sale of Majesco Sub on June 23, 2017, the Company solely operates in its Regenerative Medicine segment.
NASDAQ
listing.
On January 6, 2017 and November 1, 2017, PolarityTE, Inc., was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC of failure
to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) which requires that a majority of the directors comprising the Company’s Board
of Directors be considered “independent”, as defined under the Rule. The notice had no immediate effect on the listing
or trading of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market and the common stock continued to trade on The NASDAQ
Capital Market under the symbol “COOL”.
On
February 22, 2017, the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), the independent director requirement for continued
listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market, with the appointment of Mr. Steve Gorlin and Dr. Jon Mogford, and the matter is now closed.
PolarityTE’s common stock will continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries; Polarity NV, Majesco Sub (through the date sold) and Majesco Europe Limited (through the date dissolved). Majesco
Europe Limited was dissolved during the year ended October 31, 2016 and Majesco Sub was sold on June 23, 2017. Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash
and cash equivalents.
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less
at the date of purchase. At various times, the Company has deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.
The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
Accounts
Payable and Accrued Expenses.
The carrying amounts of accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as these
accounts are largely current and short term in nature.
Property
and Equipment.
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is being provided for by the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided
for over the shorter of the term of the lease or the life of the asset.
Income
Taxes.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company evaluates the potential for realization of deferred tax
assets at each quarterly balance sheet date and records a valuation allowance for assets for which realization is not more likely
than not.
Stock
Based Compensation.
The Company measures all stock-based compensation to employees using a fair value method and records such
expense in general and administrative and research and development expenses. Compensation expense for stock options with cliff
vesting is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award, based on the fair value of the option on
the date of grant. For stock options with graded vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the service period
for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were in substance, multiple awards.
POLARITYTE,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
fair value for options issued is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free rate
is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The volatility factor is determined based on
the Company’s historical stock prices.
The
value of restricted stock grants is measured based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of
grant and amortized over the vesting period of, generally, six months to three years.
The
accounting for non-employee options and restricted stock is similar to that of employees, however, unlike employee options and
restricted stock, the measurement date is not the grant date. The measurement date is the vest date. Until the options or shares
vest, they are re-measured (re-valued) each reporting period and the expense marked up or marked down accordingly.
Loss
Per Share.
Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share excludes the potential impact
of common stock options, unvested shares of restricted stock and outstanding common stock purchase warrants because their effect
would be anti-dilutive due to our net loss.
Commitments
and Contingencies.
We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business. We record a liability for
contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable. We record associated legal fees as incurred.
Accounting
for Warrants
. The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the equity
offerings in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company classifies
as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash
settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or
liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an
event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement
or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). In addition, under ASC 815, registered common stock warrants
that require the issuance of registered shares upon exercise and do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement
are accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance
sheet as a current liability.
Change
in Fair Value of Derivatives.
The Company assessed the classification of common stock purchase warrants as of the date of
each offering and determined that certain instruments met the criteria for liability classification. Accordingly, the Company
classified the warrants as a liability at their fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period.
This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expired, and any change
in fair value is recognized as “change in fair value of warrant liability” in the consolidated statements of operations.
The fair value of the warrants has as well as other derivatives have been estimated using a Monte-Carlo or Black-Scholes valuation
model.
Reclassifications.
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current financial statement presentation. One
reclassification relates to discontinued operations. Another represents a reclassification of approximately $1.8 million from
general and administrative expenses to research and development expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2017.
Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities or the
disclosure of gain or loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements are the valuation of
warrant liability, valuation of derivative liability, stock based compensation and the valuation allowances for deferred tax benefits.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In
August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2014-15,
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
(“ASU No.
2014-15”) that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an
interim and annual basis. Management is required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt
exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company
adopted ASU No. 2014-15 on November 1, 2016 and its adoption is disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the ASU.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business
. The
amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating
whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business
affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this guidance
effective November 1, 2016.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements.
In
February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842),
which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840,
Leases (Topic 840)
and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors.
The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on
the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine
whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease,
respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater
than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to
existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15,
2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. When adopted, the Company expects this guidance to have a material impact on
its consolidated balance sheet.
In
March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based
Payment Accounting
. Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies
in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as
income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No. 2016-09 eliminates
the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also requires companies
to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore,
ASU No. 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception
to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer
with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of
taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No. 2016-09 requires a
company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding
obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified how these cash
flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments
by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting
the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The
Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,
Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.
ASU
2017-09 provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in
Topic 718, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 should be applied
prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU
2017-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain
equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of
future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments
(such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument
or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from
Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content
is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain
nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not
have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December
15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-11 on its financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, a new accounting standard
that requires recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has also issued
several updates to ASU 2014-09. The new standard supersedes U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and requires the use of
more estimates and judgments than the present standards. It also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount,
timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Topic 606 is effective for our fiscal year 2019 beginning
on November 1, 2018. We are still evaluating the overall effect that the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
3.
GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows
from operations during each of the last two fiscal years. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from continuing operations
of approximately $7.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2017. Given these negative cash flows and forecasted increased spending,
the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from its shareholders, potential
collaborations, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment
of profitable operations. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be available to it and, if available,
completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete a debt or equity offering, execute
a collaboration arrangement or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact its business
and operations and could also lead to the reduction or suspension of the Company’s operations and ultimately force the Company
to cease operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
4.
FAIR VALUE
In
accordance with
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, financial instruments were measured at fair value using
a three-level hierarchy which maximizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs:
|
●
|
Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments
|
|
●
|
Level
2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the market
|
|
●
|
Level
3: Significant unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity. Financial instruments whose values are determined
using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, for which determination of fair value requires
significant judgment or estimation.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
connection with the April 19, 2016 common stock offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 187,500 shares
of common stock. These warrants were exercisable at $6.90 per share and expire on April 19, 2018. These warrants were analyzed
and it was determined that they require liability treatment. Under ASC 815, registered common stock warrants that require the
issuance of registered shares upon exercise and do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement are accounted for
as derivative liabilities. The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as a
current liability.
The
fair value of these warrants at January 18, 2017, the date these warrants were exchanged, and October 31, 2016 was determined
to be approximately $78,000 and $70,000, respectively, as calculated using Black-Scholes with the following assumptions: (1) stock
price of $3.62 and $3.58, respectively; (2) a risk-free rate of 0.97% and 0.75%, respectively; and (3) an expected volatility
of 68% and 61%, respectively.
In
connection with the Series F preferred stock offering in September 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 322,727 shares of common stock. These warrants are exercisable at $30.00 per share and expire in two years. The warrants are
liabilities pursuant to ASC 815. The warrant agreement provides for an adjustment to the number of common shares issuable under
the warrant and/or adjustment to the exercise price, including but not limited to, if: (a) the Company issues shares of common
stock as a dividend or distribution to holders of its common stock; (b) the Company subdivides or combines its common stock (i.e.,
stock split); (c) adjustment of exercise price upon issuance of new securities at less than the exercise price. Under ASC 815,
warrants that provide for down-round exercise price protection are recognized as derivative liabilities.
In
addition, the Series F preferred stock contains an embedded conversion feature that is not clearly and closely related to the
identified host instrument and, as such, is recognized as a derivative liability measured at fair value. The Company classifies
these derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet as a current liability.
The
fair value of these warrants and bifurcated embedded conversion feature was estimated to be approximately $4.3 million and $9.3
million, respectively, at both the issuance date and October 31, 2017 as calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation with the
following assumptions:

Series
A Preferred Shares
The
Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value
of such Series A Preferred Share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series A Preferred Share, as of such
date of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each Preferred Share is $0.68 and the initial conversion
price was $4.08 (current conversion price at October 31, 2017 is $3.00) per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits,
stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. In addition, in the event the Company
issues or sells, or is deemed to issue or sell, shares of its common stock at a per share price that is less than the conversion
price then in effect, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of PolarityTE, Inc., the Company
is prohibited from incurring debt or liens, or entering into new financing transactions without the consent of the lead investor
(as defined in the December Subscription Agreements) as long as any of the Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding. The Series
A Preferred Shares bear no dividends.
POLARITYTE,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters on an as if converted
basis, subject to certain conversion and ownership limitations, and shall not vote as a separate class. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the conversion price for purposes of calculating voting power shall in no event be lower than $3.54 per share. At no time may
all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares be converted if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to
such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder at such time, the number
of shares of common stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d)
of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the common stock outstanding at such time; provided, however,
that the holder may waive the 4.99% limitation at which time he may not own beneficially own more than 9.99% of all the common
stock outstanding at such time.
The
Series A Preferred Shares do not represent an unconditional obligation to be settled in a variable number of shares of common
stock, are not redeemable and do not contain fixed or indexed conversion provisions similar to debt instruments. Accordingly,
the Series A Preferred Shares are considered equity hosts and recorded in stockholders’ equity.
Series
B Preferred Shares
The
Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value
of such Series B Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series B Preferred Shares, as of such
date of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each Preferred Share is $140.00 and the initial conversion
price is $8.40 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions
or other similar events. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares to the extent
that, as a result of such conversion, such holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
Shares, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%. Subject to such
beneficial ownership limitations, each holder is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company on an
as converted basis, based on a conversion price of $8.40 per shares. The Series B Preferred Shares rank junior to the Series A
Preferred Shares and bear no dividends. All of the convertible preferred shares do not represent an unconditional obligation to
be settled in a variable number of shares, are not redeemable and do not contain fixed or indexed conversion provisions similar
to debt instruments. Accordingly, the convertible preferred shares are considered equity hosts and recorded in stockholders’
equity.
Series
C Preferred Shares
The
Series C Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value
of such Series C Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series C Preferred Shares, as of such
date of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each Series C Preferred Share is $120.00 per share,
and the initial conversion price was $7.20 (current conversion price at October 31, 2017 is $5.16) per share, each subject to
adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. In addition,
in the event the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to issue or sell, shares of common stock at a per share price that is less
than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions
and provided that the conversion price may not be reduced to less than $5.16, unless and until such time as the Company obtains
shareholder approval to allow for a lower conversion price. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series
C Preferred Shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, such May Investor would beneficially own more than 4.99%
of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock
upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to,
but not exceeding, 9.99%. Subject to the beneficial ownership limitations discussed previously, each holder is entitled to vote
on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company, and shall have the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Series C Preferred Shares, based on a conversion price of $7.80 per share.
The Series C Preferred Shares bear no dividends and shall rank junior to the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares but senior
to the Company’s Series B Preferred Shares.
In
connection with the sale of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Company also entered into separate registration rights agreements
(the “May Registration Rights Agreement”) with each Investor. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a
registration statement to register the Shares and the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares,
within thirty days following the Closing Date, to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within ninety days
of the filing day and to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all of such shares of common stock have
been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction. In the event the Company fails to satisfy
its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to the Investors on a monthly basis,
an amount equal to 1% of the Investor’s investment, up to a maximum of 12%. Effective as of the original filing deadline
of the registration statement, the Company obtained the requisite approval from the Investors for the waiver of its obligations
under the May Registration Rights Agreement.

The
Company evaluated the guidance ASC 480-10

ASC 815-40
Contracts in an Entity’s

to determine the appropriate classification of the instruments. The Series C Preferred Shares do not represent
an unconditional obligation to be settled in a variable number of shares of common stock, are not redeemable and do not contain
fixed or indexed conversion provisions similar to debt instruments. Accordingly, the Series C Preferred Shares are considered
equity hosts and recorded in stockholders’ equity.
Series
D Preferred Shares
The
Preferred D Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of
such Preferred D Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Preferred D Share, as of such date of determination,
divided by the conversion price. The stated value Preferred D Shares is $1,000 per share and the initial conversion price is $600
per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other
similar events. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Preferred D Shares to the extent that, as a result
of such conversion, such investor would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred D Shares. Upon 61 days written
notice, the beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%. Except as otherwise
required by law, holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall not have any voting rights. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of the 0% Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, the Preferred D Shares bear no dividends and shall rank
senior to the Company’s other classes of capital stock.
Series
E Preferred Shares
On
April 7, 2017, the Company issued 7,050 shares of its newly authorized Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred
Shares”) convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of approximately
$104.7 million which is equal to 7,050,000 common shares times $14.85 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock as
of April 7, 2017) to Dr. Lough for the purchase of the Polarity NV’s assets.
The
Preferred E Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of
such Preferred E Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion
price. The stated value of each Preferred E Share is $1,000 and the initial conversion price is $1.00 per share, each subject
to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. The Preferred
E Shares, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, in each case will rank senior
to the Company’s common stock and all other securities of the Company that do not expressly provide that such securities
rank on parity with or senior to the Preferred E Shares. Until converted, each Preferred E Share is entitled to two votes for
every share of common stock into which it is convertible on any matter submitted for a vote of stockholders. The Preferred E Shares
participate on an “as converted” basis with all dividends declared on the Company’s common stock.
Redeemable
Series F Preferred Shares
On
September 20, 2017, the Company sold an aggregate of $17,750,000 worth of units (the “Units”) of the Company’s
securities to accredited investors at a purchase price of $2,750 per Unit with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s
newly authorized 6% Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”),
which are convertible into one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) a two-year warrant to purchase
322,727 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $30.00 per share. The Company incurred issuance costs
of approximately $356,000 associated with the Unit offering, of which approximately $82,000 was allocated to the Preferred Stock
and netted against the proceeds. The remaining amount was allocated to the warrants and other embedded derivative and was expensed.
The
Company entered into separate registration rights agreements, and subsequently amended such agreements, with each of the investors,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to undertake to file a registration statement to register the resale of the conversion shares
and warrant shares within 150 days of the closing of the transaction, to cause such registration statement to be declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission within ninety days following its filing and to maintain the effectiveness of the registration
statement until all of such conversion shares and warrant shares have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act, without any restrictions. In the event the Company fails to file, or obtain effectiveness of, such
registration statement with the specified period of time, the Company will be obligated to pay liquidated damages equal to the
product of one 1% percent multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by such investor for every thirty (30) days during
which such filing is not made and/or effectiveness obtained, such fee being subject to certain exceptions, up to a maximum of
twelve 12% percent.

Pursuant
to the subscription agreements, for as long as the lead investor holds securities, except with certain issuances, the Company
shall not incur any senior debt or issue any preferred stock with liquidation rights senior to the securities sold thereunder.
During this period, the Company will not, without the consent of the investors holding a majority of the then issued and outstanding
shares on the date of such consent (including the lead investor), enter into any equity line of credit or similar agreement, nor
issue nor agree to issue any common stock, common stock equivalents, floating or variable priced equity linked instruments nor
any of the foregoing or equity with price reset rights (subject to adjustment for stock splits, distributions, dividends, recapitalizations
and the like).
The
shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion calculation
equal to the stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series F Preferred
Stock, as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each share of Series F Preferred
Stock is $2,750 and the initial conversion price is $27.50 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events.
Each
holder of a Series F Preferred Share is entitled to receive dividends, in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock
on the stated value of each share at the dividend rate, which shall be cumulative and shall continue to accrue and compound quarterly
whether or not declared and whether or not in any fiscal year there shall be net profits or surplus available for the payment
of dividends in such fiscal year. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day of the next applicable
quarter, to the record holders of the Series F Preferred Stock on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the
dividend payment date in shares of common stock, calculated using the VWAP of the common stock on the ninety (90) days immediately
preceding the dividend record date; provided, however, that the Company may, at its option, pay dividends in cash or in a combination
of common shares and cash.
Upon
the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of preferred
shares shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Company legally available therefor, a preferential
amount in cash equal to (and not more than) $2,750.
On
the two (2) year anniversary of the initial issuance date, any share of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding and not otherwise
already converted, shall, at the option of the holder, either (i) automatically convert into common stock of the Company at the
conversion price then in effect or (ii) be repaid by the Company based on the stated value of such outstanding shares of Series
F Preferred Stock. In addition, in the event that the Company’s common stock attains a consolidated bid price of $45 or
greater for any four (4) trading days during any eight (8) trading day period, the Series F Preferred Stock shall be automatically
converted to common stock, without any further action by the holder (subject to the conversion limitation in the event that such
conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of four and ninety-nine one-hundredths (4.99%) percent of the common
stock of the Company).
The
warrants issued in connection with the Series F Preferred Stock are liabilities pursuant to ASC 815. The warrant agreement provides
for an adjustment to the number of common shares issuable under the warrant and/or adjustment to the exercise price, including
but not limited to, if: (a) the Company issues shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution to holders of its common stock;
(b) the Company subdivides or combines its common stock (i.e., stock split); (c) adjustment of exercise price upon issuance of
new securities at less than the exercise price. Under ASC 815, warrants that provide for down-round exercise price protection
are recognized as derivative liabilities.
The
conversion feature within the Series F Preferred Stock is not clearly and closely related to the identified host instrument and,
as such, is recognized as a derivative liability measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 815.
The
initial fair value of the warrants and bifurcated embedded conversion feature, estimated to be approximately $4.3 million and
$9.3 million, respectively, was deducted from the gross proceeds of the Unit offering to arrive at the initial discounted carrying
value of the Series F Preferred Stock. The resulting discount to the aggregate stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock of
approximately $13.6 million will be recognized as accretion using the effective interest method similar to preferred stock dividends,
over the two-year period prior to optional redemption by the holders. The Company recognized accretion of the discount to the
stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock of approximately $369,000 in the year ended October 31, 2017 as a reduction of additional
paid-in capital and an increase in the carrying value of the Series F Preferred Stock. The accretion is presented in the Statement
of Operations as a deemed dividend, increasing net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders.

April
2016 Registered Common Stock and Warrant Offering
On
April 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors providing for the
issuance and sale by the Company of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at an offering
price of $6.00 per share, for net proceeds of $1.4 million after deducting placement agent fees and expenses. In addition, the
Company sold to purchasers of common stock in this offering, warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of its common stock. The common
shares and the Warrant Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which
was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2015 and declared effective on December 7, 2015.
The closing of the offering occurred on April 19, 2016.
Each
Warrant was immediately exercisable for two years, but not thereafter, at an exercise price of $6.90 per share. Subject to limited
exceptions, a holder of warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with
its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately
after giving effect to such exercise. The exercise price and number of warrants were subject to adjustment in the event of any
stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. The
Warrants were classified as liabilities and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations in other expenses (income) until they were exchanged for shares of common stock on January 18, 2017.
The initial recognition of the Warrants resulted in an allocation of the net proceeds from the offering to a warrant liability
of approximately $318,000, with the remainder being attributable to the common stock sold in the offering.

Share Conversion Activity
During
the year ended October 31, 2017, 3,991,487 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, 6,512 shares of Convertible Preferred

accredited investors (the “Investors”) who purchased warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock
(the “Warrants”) pursuant to the prospectus dated April 13, 2016. In 2016, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock and Warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock (taking into account the reverse split of
the Company’s common stock on a 1 for 6 basis effective with The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on August 1, 2016). The common
stock and Warrants were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement. Under the terms of the Exchange
Agreement, each Investor exchanged each Warrant it purchased in the Offering for 0.3 shares of common stock. Accordingly, the
Company issued an aggregate of 56,250 shares of common stock in exchange for the return and cancellation of 187,500 Warrants.
During
the year ended October 31, 2017, certain employees exercised their options at a weighted-average exercise price of $4.84 in exchange

Stock
options are generally granted to employees or non-employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s
stock at the dates of grant. Stock options generally vest over one to three years and have a term of five to ten years. The total
fair value of employee options granted during the year ended October 31, 2017 was approximately $14.9 million. The grant date
fair value of non-employee option granted was approximately $4.0 million. The intrinsic value of options outstanding at October
31, 2017 was $70.7 million. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 was $3.2 million.
The weighted average remaining contractual term of outstanding and exercisable options at October 31, 2017 was 9.2 years and 9.0
years, respectively.
The
fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following

The
value of restricted stock grants is measured based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of
grant and amortized over the vesting period of, generally, six months to three years. As of October 31, 2017, there was approximately
$1.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized
over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.4 years.

Realization
of deferred tax assets, including those related to net operating loss carryforwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any,
of which the timing and amount are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Based upon the Company’s current operating results management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that such
assets will be realized.
Utilization
of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards maybe subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change
in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitations may result in the expiration of net operating
loss carryforwards before utilization. The net operating loss carryforwards available for income tax purposes at October 31, 2017
amount to approximately $7.9 million, and expire between 2026 and 2036 for federal income taxes, and approximately $7.9 million
for state income taxes, which primarily expire between 2017 and 2023.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various states. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits,
which would impact its tax rate if recognized. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had no accrual for the potential payment of
penalties. As of October 31, 2017, the Company was not subject to any U.S. federal and state tax examinations. The Company’s
U.S. federal tax returns have been examined for tax years through 2011, with the results of such examinations being reflected
in the Company’s results of operations as of October 31, 2013. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes in
its unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.
11.
LOSS PER SHARE
Shares
of common stock issuable under convertible preferred stock, warrants and options and unvested shares subject to restricted stock
grants were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016,
as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
For
periods when shares of participating preferred stock (As defined in ASC 260 earnings per share) are outstanding, the two-class
method is used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation
formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared
(or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, basic earnings (loss) per common
share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to common share after allocation of earnings to participating securities
by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share,
when applicable, is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the if-converted method. In periods of net loss,
no effect is given to participating securities since they do not contractually participate in the losses of the Company.
The
table below provides total potential shares outstanding, including those that are anti-dilutive:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
On
February 26, 2015, a complaint for patent infringement was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Texas by Richard Baker, an individual residing in Australia, against Microsoft, Nintendo, the Company and a number of other
game publisher defendants. The complaint alleges that the Company’s Zumba Fitness Kinect game infringed plaintiff’s
patents in motion tracking technology. The plaintiff is representing himself pro se in the litigation and is seeking monetary
damages in the amount of $1.3 million. The Company, in conjunction with Microsoft, is defending itself against the claim and has
certain third-party indemnity rights from developers for costs incurred in the litigation. In August 2015, the defendants jointly
moved to transfer the case to the Western District of Washington. On May 17, 2016, the Washington Court issued a scheduling order
that provides that defendants leave to jointly file an early motion for summary judgement in June 2016. On June 17, 2016, the
defendants jointly filed a motion for summary judgment that stated that none of the defendants, including the Company, infringed
upon the asserted patent. On July 9, 2016, Mr. Baker opposed the motion. On July 15, 2016, the defendants jointly filed a reply.
The briefing on the motion is now closed. The Court has not yet issued a decision or indicated if or when there will be oral argument
on the motion.
In
addition to the item above, the Company at times may be a party to claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. We record
a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably
estimated. The Company has not recorded a liability with respect to the matter above. While the Company believes that it has valid
defenses with respect to the legal matter pending and intends to vigorously defend the matter above, given the uncertainty surrounding
litigation and our inability to assess the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, it is possible that the resolution
of the matter could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Commitments

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On
July 31, 2015, the Company transferred to Zift Interactive LLC (“Zift”), a newly-formed subsidiary, certain rights
under certain of its publishing licenses related to developing, publishing and distributing video game products through retail
distribution for a term of one year. The Company transferred Zift to its former chief executive officer, Jesse Sutton. In exchange,
the Company received Mr. Sutton’s resignation from the position of chief executive officer of the Company, including waiver
of any severance payments and the execution of a separation agreement, together with his agreement to serve as a consultant to
the Company. In addition, Zift will pay the Company a specified percent of its net revenue from retail sales on a quarterly basis.
POLARITYTE,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
addition, the Company entered into a conveyance agreement with Zift under which it assigned to Zift certain assets used in the
retail business and Zift agreed to assume and indemnify the Company for liabilities and claims related to the retail business,
including customer claims for price protection and promotional allowances. The assets transferred to Zift included cash in an
amount of $800,000, of which $400,000 was transferred immediately and the remaining $400,000 was payable by the Company in twelve
equal consecutive monthly installments of $33,000 commencing August 1, 2015, and certain accounts receivable and inventory with
an aggregate carrying value of approximately $87,000.
On
June 23, 2017, the Company sold Majesco Sub to Zift (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Purchaser 100% of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of Majesco Sub, including all of the right, title and interest in and to Majesco Sub’s business of
developing, publishing and distributing video game products through mobile and online digital downloading. Pursuant to the terms
of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will receive total cash consideration of $100,000 ($5,000 upon signing the Purchase Agreement
and 19 additional monthly payments of $5,000) plus contingent consideration based on net revenues with a fair value of $0. The
Company received $25,000 in cash consideration as of October 31, 2017.
The
Company recorded a gain of $100,000 on the sale of Majesco Sub, calculated as the difference between the $100,000 in non-contingent
consideration and the net carrying amount of Majesco Sub, which was $0. The gain on the sale of Majesco Sub may be adjusted in
future periods by the contingent consideration, based upon the achievement of pre-determined revenue milestones of more than $50,000
per month.
The
sale of Majesco Sub, classified in the Company’s video games segment, qualifies as a discontinued operation as the sale
represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on operations and financial results.
