PAVMED INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — The Company and Description of the Business

 

PAVmed Inc. (“PAVmed” or the “Company”) is a highly-differentiated multi-product technology medical device company organized to advance a broad pipeline of innovative medical technologies from concept to commercialization, employing a business model focused on capital efficiency and speed to market. The Company is focused on advancing its lead products towards regulatory approval and commercialization, protecting its intellectual property, and building its corporate infrastructure and management team. The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 26, 2014 (inception), originally under the name of PAXmed Inc., and on April 19, 2015, changed its name to PAVmed Inc. The Company operates in one segment as a medical device company.

 

Under a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-203569) declared effective January 29, 2016, the Company’s initial public offering (IPO) was consummated on April 28, 2016, resulting in $4.2 million of net cash proceeds, after deducting cash selling agent discounts and commissions and offering expenses, from the issuance of 1,060,000 units at an offering price of $5.00 per unit, with each such unit comprised of one share of common stock of the Company and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock of the Company, with such warrant referred to as a “Series W Warrant” - see Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a discussion of the common stock of the Company and the Series W Warrant.

 

On May 8, 2018, Lucid Diagnostics Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated in the State of Delaware. On May 12, 2018, Lucid Diagnostics Inc. entered into the “EsoCheck™ License Agreement” with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”), with respect to the “EsoCheck™ Technology”. See Note 7, Agreements Related to Acquired Intellectual Property Rights , for a discussion of the “EsoCheck™ License Agreement” and corresponding “EsoCheck™ Technology”.

 

To date, the Company has not recognized revenue. The ability to generate revenue depends upon the Company’s ability to successfully complete the development, obtain regulatory approval, and to initiate commercialization of its product candidates. Currently, the Company’s activities are focused principally on obtaining FDA clearance and initializing commercialization of the lead product candidates, including CarpX™ and PortIO™, and to commence preparing the EsoCheck TM Technology for FDA submission, along with advancing the DisappEAR™ and NextFlo TM product candidates through their respective research and development phase. The Company will also engage in research and development activities on other product candidates commensurate with the Company’s available capital resources. The Company plans to incur research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as its continues the development of its current and future product candidates.

 

The Company has financed its operations principally through the issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and debt, including: proceeds from private offerings of its common stock and common stock purchase warrants prior to the April 8, 2016 closing of its IPO; proceeds from the April 28, 2016 closing of the IPO; and, subsequent issue of shares of convertible preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants in private placements, the issue of shares of common stock of the Company and common stock purchase warrants under effective registration statements; and the issue of a senior secured note along with common stock purchase warrants. See Note 12, Note and Securities Purchase Agreement, Senior Secured Note, and Series S Warrants , for a further discussion of the issue of a senior secured note and common stock purchase warrants; Note 13, Preferred Stock, for a discussion of the convertible preferred stock; and Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a discussion of the issue common stock of the Company and common stock purchase warrants.

 

PAVmed Inc. and /or Lucid Diagnostics Inc. have proprietary rights to the trademarks used herein, including, among others, PAVmed™, Lucid Diagnostics™, Caldus™, CarpX™, DisappEAR™, EsoCheck™, NextCath™, NextFlo™, PortIO™, and “Innovating at the Speed of Life” ™, among others. Solely as a matter of convenience, trademarks and trade names referred to herein may or may not be accompanied with the requisite marks of “™” and /or “®”, however, the absence of such marks is not intended to indicate, in any way, each of PAVmed Inc. and /or Lucid Diagnostics Inc. will not assert, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, its rights or the rights to such trademarks and trade names.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The company holds a majority ownership interest and has controlling financial interest in Lucid Diagnostics Inc., with the corresponding noncontrolling interest included as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, including the recognition in the consolidated statement of the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest based on the noncontrolling interest ownership interest in Lucid Diagnostics Inc. See Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a discussion of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc. and the corresponding noncontrolling interest.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, and accordingly the balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information. Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the fair value of warrants, the fair value of derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, research and development expenses, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgements, and methodologies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such accounting estimates and assumptions, the actual financial statement results could differ materially from such accounting estimates and assumptions.

 

JOBS Act Accounting Election

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company” or “EGC”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, an EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies who are not an EGC.

 

Segment Data

 

The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. No revenue has been generated since inception, and all tangible assets are held in the United States.

Going Concern

 

The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (ASC 205-40) requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements are issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

 

The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and has not generated any revenues to date. As such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future until such time, if at all, it completes the development process of its products, including regulatory approvals and clearances, and thereafter, begins to commercialize and achieve substantial marketplace acceptance for the first of a series of products in its medical device portfolio, which is not expected to occur in the near future, if at all.

 

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to PAVmed Inc. common stockholders of $8,543,663 and had net cash flows used in operating activities of $3,902,149 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,524,851, working capital of $3,876,440, with such working capital inclusive of the $5,383,112 principal balance of debt under the Sr Secured Note as of June 30, 2018, which is classified as a current liability in the accompanying June 30, 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a result of its maturity date of June 30, 2019.

 

The Company anticipates incurring operating losses and does not expect to experience positive cash flows from operating activities and may continue to incur operating losses for the next several years as it completes the development of its products, seeks regulatory approvals and clearances of such products, and begin to commercially market such products. These factors, which have existed since inception, are expected to continue for the foreseeable future, and raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company’s ability to fund its operations is dependent upon management’s plans, which include raising additional capital, refinance the debt upon maturity obtaining regulatory approvals for its products currently under development, commercializing and generating revenues from products currently under development, and continuing to control expenses. However, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

A failure to raise sufficient capital, refinance the debt upon maturity, obtain regulatory approvals and clearances for the Company’s products, generate sufficient product revenues, or control expenditures, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives, and therefore, raises substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

 

Cash

 

The Company maintains its cash at a major financial institution with high credit quality. At times, the balance of its cash deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses on deposits with commercial banks and financial institutions which exceed federally insured limits.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The useful lives of equipment are as follows:

 

Research and development equipment   5 years
Computer equipment   3 years

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the asset is considered impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets. The Company has not recorded impairment of any long-lived assets in the periods presented.

 

Offering Costs

 

Offering costs consist of certain legal, accounting, and other advisory fees incurred related to the Company’s efforts to raise debt and equity capital. Offering costs in connection with equity financing are recognized as either an offset against the financing proceeds to extent the underlying security is equity classified or a current period expense to extent the underlying security is liability classified. Offering costs, lender fees, and warrants issued in connection with debt financing are recognized as debt discount, which reduces the reported carrying value of the debt, and amortized as interest expense, generally over the contractual term of the debt agreement, to result in a constant rate of interest. Offering costs associated with in-process capital financing are accounted for as deferred offering costs.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred and include the salary and stock-based compensation of employees engaged in product research and development activities, and the costs related to the Company’s various contract research service providers, suppliers, engineering studies, supplies, and outsourced testing and consulting, as well as rental costs for equipment and access to certain facilities of contract research service providers.

 

Patent Costs and Purchased Patent License Rights

 

Patent related costs in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications and patents filed by the Company are expensed as incurred and are included in the line item captioned “general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Patent fee reimbursement expense incurred under the patent license agreement agreements are included in the line item captioned “research and development expenses” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The purchase of patent license rights for use in research and development activities, including product development, are expensed as incurred and are classified as research and development expense.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based awards are made to employees, members of its board of directors, and non-employees, under each of the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan and the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan. Stock-based awards to employees and members of the Company’s board of directors are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation , (“ASC 718”) and stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). See herein below for a discussion of “ASU 2018-07” with respect to ASC 505-50 non-employee stock-based compensation.

 

The Company measures the compensation expense of stock-based awards granted to employees and members of its board of directors using the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective stock-based award.

 

The Company measures the expense of stock-based awards granted to non-employees on a vesting date basis, fixing the fair value of vested non-employee stock options as of their respective vesting date. The fair value of vested non-employee stock options is not subject-to-change at subsequent reporting dates. The estimated fair value of the unvested non-employee stock options is remeasured to then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The expense of non-employee stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective non-employee stock-based award.

 

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued its Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ” (“ASU 2018-07), which, upon the effective date, will result in non-employee stock-based compensation to be within the scope of ASC-718, and will supersede ASC 505-50. A principal change of the new guidance is to eliminate the ASC 505-50 required periodic fair value remeasure (“mark-to-market”) and use of the “contractual term” as an input to the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculated the estimated fair value of stock options issued to non-employees, in favor of the ASC 718 one-time measurement of the grant date fair value and use of an “expected term” as such valuation input, for non-employee stock-based compensation expense, as is currently done for employee stock-based compensation expense.

 

The amended ASC-718 non-employee stock-based compensation provisions are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal year, and for all other companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606). With respect to the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary, the amended ASC-718 non-employee stock-based compensation provisions are required to be adopted by no later than January 1, 2020, resulting from the Company’s “JOBS Act EGC Election” as discussed herein above. Additionally, the Company, under its “JOBS Act EGC Election”, is required to adopt ASC 606 by no later than January 1, 2019, which is the current required adoption date of ASC 606 for private companies. As such, at this time, the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary continue to apply the guidance of ASC-505-50 with respect to non-employee stock-based compensation, subject-to the future adoption date(s) of ASC-606 and the ASU 2018-07 amended ASC 718.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

 

Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if those instruments or any embedded components of those instruments potentially qualify as derivatives that need to be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The accounting for warrants issued to purchase shares of common stock of the Company is based on the specific terms of the respective warrant agreement, and are generally classified as equity, but may be classified as a derivative liability if the warrant agreement provides required or potential full or partial cash settlement. A warrant classified as a derivative liability, or a bifurcated embedded conversion or settlement option classified as a derivative liability, is initially measured at its issue-date fair value, with such fair value subsequently adjusted at each reporting period, with the resulting fair value adjustment recognized as other income or expense. If upon the occurrence of an event resulting in the derivate liability being subsequently classified as equity or otherwise derecognized, the fair value of the derivative liability will be adjusted on such date-of-occurrence, with such date-of-occurrence fair value adjustment recognized as other income or expense, and then the derivative liability will be derecognized at such date-of-occurrence fair value.

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a transaction measurement date. The ASC 820 three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, as follows:

 

Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
   
Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets which are not active, or other inputs observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
   
Level 3 Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if those instruments or any potential embedded components of those instruments qualify as derivatives that need to be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). Warrants are classified as either equity or a derivative liability depending on the specific terms of the respective warrant agreement. The Series A Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability, as such warrants have an exercise price adjustment provision. Warrants containing a cash settlement provision are accounted for as a derivative liability. A warrant classified as a liability, or a bifurcated embedded derivative classified as a liability, is initially measured at its issue-date fair value, with such fair value subsequently adjusted at each reporting period, with the resulting adjustment recognized as other income or expense. If upon the occurrence of an event resulting in the warrant liability or the embedded derivative liability being subsequently classified as equity, the fair value will be adjusted on such date-of-occurrence, with such date-of-occurrence fair value adjustment recognized as other income or expense, and then it will be classified as equity at such date-of-occurrence adjusted fair value.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, as required by FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (ASC 740). Current tax liabilities or receivables are recognized for the amount of taxes estimated to be payable or refundable for the current year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, along with net 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. See Note 6, Income Taxes , for a discussion of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017”, enacted on December 22, 2017, which resulted in a change to future years’ statutory federal corporate tax rate applicable to taxable income. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes.

 

Under ASC 740, a “more-likely-than-not” criterion is applied when assessing the estimated realization of deferred tax assets through their utilization to reduce future taxable income, or with respect to a deferred tax asset for tax credit carryforward, to reduce future tax expense. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, when the assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not, the full or partial amount of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. As a result of the evaluation of the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the estimated realizability of net deferred tax assets, and based on a history of operating losses, it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and therefore a valuation allowance reserve equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, has been recognized as a charge to income tax expense as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position it has taken or expects to take on its income tax return if such a position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, with the tax benefit recognized being the largest amount having a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2018 the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as part of its income tax provision. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 or recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The Company is not aware of any issues under review to potentially result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviations from its position.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

The net loss per share is computed by dividing each of the respective net loss by the number of “basic weighted average common shares outstanding” and diluted weighted average shares outstanding” for the reporting period indicated. The basic weighted-average shares common shares outstanding are computed on a weighted average based on the number of days the shares of common stock of the Company are issued and outstanding during the respective reporting period indicated. The diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are the sum of the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the number of common stock equivalents’ incremental shares on an if-converted basis, computed using the treasury stock method, computed on a weighted average based on the number of days potentially issued and outstanding during the period indicated, if dilutive. The Company’s common stock equivalents include: stock options, unit purchase options, convertible preferred stock, and common stock purchase warrants.

 

Notwithstanding, as the Company has a net loss for each reporting period presented, each of the basic and diluted net loss per share for each period presented is computed using only the basic weighted average common shares outstanding for each respective reporting period, as the inclusion of common stock equivalents incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.

 

Accordingly, as presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, basic weighted average common shares outstanding are used to compute the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to PAVmed Inc. and the basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to PAVmed Inc. common stockholders, for each reporting period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Part I - Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down-Round Features, and Part II - Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Principally, ASU 2017-11 amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (EPS) data will adjust their basic EPS calculation for the effect of the down-round feature when triggered (i.e., when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down-round feature) and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. Additionally, ASU 2017-11 also addresses “navigational concerns” within the FASB ASC related to an indefinite deferral available to private companies with mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and certain noncontrolling interests, which has resulted in the existence of significant “pending content” in the ASC. The FASB decided to reclassify the indefinite deferral as a scope exception, which does not have an accounting effect. The guidance of ASU 2017-11 is effective for public business entities, as defined in the ASC Master Glossary, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and for all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or have not been made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting . In ASU 2017-09, the FASB provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of stock-based compensation arrangements require the application of “modification accounting” under ASC 718. Generally, ASC 718 modification accounting is not applicable if the stock-based arrangement immediately before and after the modification has the same fair value, vesting conditions, and balance sheet classification. The guidance of ASU 2017-09 is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities, as defined in the ASC Master Glossary, for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2017, and it did not have an effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which amends the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (disposals) of assets or businesses. The objective of ASU 2017-01 is to narrow the definition of what qualifies as a business under Topic 805 and to provide guidance for streamlining the analysis required to assess whether a transaction involves the acquisition (disposal) of a business. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to assess when a set of assets and processes do not qualify as a business under Topic 805, reducing the number of transactions that need to be considered as possible business acquisitions. ASU 2017-01 also narrows the definition of output under Topic 805 to make it consistent with the description of outputs under Topic 606. The guidance of ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. The adoption of this guidance as of January 1, 2018 did not have an effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which amended the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC 230) on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments. The primary purpose of ASU 2016-15 is to reduce the diversity in practice which has resulted from a lack of consistent principles on this topic, including to add or clarify guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The adoption of this guidance as of January 1, 2018 did not have an effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and subsequently issued additional updates amending the guidance contained in Topic 606 (ASC 606), thereby affecting the guidance contained in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 and the subsequent ASC 606 updates will supersede and replace nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount equal to the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle, and in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). To date, since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue, as such, the provisions of ASC 606 have not impacted the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016-08”). The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. To date, since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue, as such, the provisions of ASC 606 have not impacted the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”). The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. To date, since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue, as such, the provisions of ASC 606 have not impacted the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater-than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods with those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Note 6 — Income Taxes

 

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit which was fully offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.

 

Under ASC 740, a “more-likely-than-not” criterion is applied when assessing the estimated realization of deferred tax assets through their utilization to reduce future taxable income, or with respect to a deferred tax asset for tax credit carryforward, to reduce future tax expense. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, when the assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not, the full or partial amount of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. As a result of the evaluation of the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the estimated realizability of net deferred tax assets, and based on a history of operating losses, it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and therefore a valuation allowance reserve equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, has been recognized as a charge to income tax expense as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax 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 of the change in the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period of the enacted change in tax rate. Changes in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes.

 

The “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017” (Public Law No. 115-97), enacted on December 22, 2017, is a comprehensive revision to federal tax law which makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

 

In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. SAB 118 directs taxpayers to consider the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as “provisional” when the Company does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed, including computations, to finalize the accounting for the changes resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Companies are provided a measurement period of up to one year to obtain, prepare, and analyze information necessary to finalize the accounting for provisional amounts or amounts that cannot be estimated as of December 31, 2017.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 impact on the tax provision of the Company for year ending December 31, 2017, resulted in the Company recognizing the provisional impact of the revaluation of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities to 21% from 35%, resulting in an estimated $1.6 million tax expense, which was fully offset by a credit in the same amount resulting from the corresponding change in the valuation allowance applied to the net deferred tax assets.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the United States in federal and applicable state and local jurisdictions. The Company’s tax filings for the years 2016, 2015 and for its initial period of operations from June 26, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2014, each remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Note 7 — Agreements Related to Acquired Intellectual Property Rights

 

Patent License Agreement - Case Western Reserve University - EsoCheck™ Technology

 

On May 12, 2018, Lucid Diagnostics Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a patent license agreement with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”), referred to herein as the “EsoCheck™ License Agreement”. See Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a discussion of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc. and the corresponding noncontrolling interest.

 

The EsoCheck™ License Agreement provides for the exclusive worldwide license of the intellectual property rights for the proprietary technology of both: the esophageal balloon cell sample collection device (referred to herein as the EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device) and DNA biomarkers (referred to herein as the EsoCheck™ DNA Biomarkers), and together are collectively referred to as the EsoCheck™ Technology.

 

Under the EsoCheck™ License Agreement, Lucid Diagnostics Inc. will pay to CWRU approximately $273,000 as reimbursement of CWRU accumulated costs incurred to develop patents related to the intellectual property of the EsoCheck™ Technology - with such amount referred to herein as the EsoCheck™ License Agreement fee. The EsoCheck™ License Agreement required an initial $50,000 payment and recurring quarterly payments of $50,000 until such fee is paid-in-full, provided, however, the commencement of such quarterly payments is subject to Lucid Diagnostics Inc. consummation of a bona fide financing with an unrelated third-party in excess of $500,000. The Company provided the funding for the payment of the $50,000 initial payment to CWRU, with such amount to be repaid by Lucid Diagnostics Inc. upon the consummation of the aforementioned financing transaction.

 

On the effective date of the EsoCheck™ License Agreement, the EsoCheck™ License Agreement fee was recognized as a current period research and development expense in the unaudited condensed statement of operations, with the remaining unpaid balance included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The EsoCheck™ License Agreement was determined not to be meet the “business combination” criteria under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), as such license agreement did not meet the ASC 805 definition of a business, as the transaction resulted in an intangible asset of acquired intellectual property rights only, and the Company did not acquire any employees or tangible assets, or any processes, protocols, or operating systems. Accordingly, the transaction was determined to be to be an asset acquisition under ASC 805. Further, the cost of the acquired intellectual property rights were recognized as a current period research and development expense, as required under ASC Topic 730, Research and Development (ASC 730), as the acquired intellectual property rights were purchased from others for use in a research and development activity, and for which there are no alternative future uses.

 

Additionally, the EsoCheck™ License Agreement also provides for potential payments upon the achievement of certain product development and regulatory clearance milestones. If Lucid Diagnostics does not meet certain milestones listed in the EsoCheck™ License Agreement, then CWRU has the right, in its sole discretion, to require the Company to transfer to CWRU a percentage, varying up to 100%, of the shares of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. held by the Company. Lucid Diagnostics Inc. will also be required to pay a minimum annual royalty commencing the year after the first commercial sale of products resulting from the commercialization of the EsoCheck™ Technology, with the minimum amount rising based on net sales of such product(s), if any. Such contingent milestone and /or royalty payments, if any, will be recognized in the period in which such liabilities are incurred.

 

The EsoCheck™ License Agreement terminates upon the expiration of certain related patents, or on May 12, 2038 in countries where no such patents exist, or upon expiration of any exclusive marketing rights granted by the FDA or other U.S. government agency, whichever comes later.

 

Additionally, the three physician inventors of the EsoCheck™ Technology, each entered into consulting agreements with Lucid Diagnostics Inc. to continue to support the development of the EsoCheck™ Technology. In addition to cash compensation based on a contractual rate per hour, additional compensation under each such consulting agreement includes: the grant of stock options under the Lucid Diagnostics Inc 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan to each individual to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. at an exercise price of $0.50 per share of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc.; and, the grant under the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan of stock options to each individual to purchase 25,000 shares of PAVmed Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.59 per share of common stock of PAVmed Inc. See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation , for information regarding the “PAVmed Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan” and the separate “Lucid Diagnostics Inc 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan”, with respect to the stock options granted as discussed above.

Note 7 — Agreements Related to Acquired Intellectual Property Rights (continued)

 

Patent License Agreement - Case Western Reserve University - EsoCheck™ Technology (continued)

 

In June 2018, Lucid Diagnostics Inc. entered into a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) agreement with an unrelated third-party for the supply of the “EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device”, principally for use in research and development activities - referred to herein as the EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device CDMO Supply Agreement. Such EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device CDMO Supply Agreement contains a firm price per unit, a contractual device purchase minimum quantity, is cancellable with 10 day notice, among other routine and customary provisions. With respect to the contractual device purchase minimum quaintly, if Lucid Diagnostics Inc. terminates the EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device CDMO Supply Agreement without “good reason”, as defined, prior to placing purchase orders for 5,000 units of the EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device, then Lucid Diagnostics Inc. will make a single one-time $50,000 payment to the unrelated third-party CDMO. The minimum quantity contingent payment, if any, will be recognized as a current period expense when such liability is incurred.

 

In June 2018 Lucid Diagnostics Inc. entered into a separate consulting agreement with the owner of the CDMO discussed above, with the sole compensation under such consulting agreement being the June 2018 issue of 75,000 Lucid Diagnostics Inc. stock options with an exercise price of $1.00 per share of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation , for information regarding the separate “Lucid Diagnostics Inc 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan”.

 

Patent License Agreement - Tufts University - Antimicrobial Resorbable Ear Tubes

 

In November 2016, the Company executed a Patent License Agreement (the “Tufts Patent License Agreement”) with Tufts University and its co-owners, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Massachusetts General Hospital (the “Licensors”). Pursuant to the Tufts Patent License Agreement, the Licensors granted the Company the exclusive right and license to certain patents in connection with the development and commercialization of antimicrobial resorbable ear tubes based on a proprietary aqueous silk technology conceived and developed by the Licensors.

 

Upon execution of the Tufts Patent License Agreement, the Company paid the Licensors an upfront non-refundable fee of $50,000, with such fee recognized as of the transaction date as a current period research and development expense in the unaudited condensed statement of operations. The Tufts Patent License Agreement was determined not to be meet the “business combination” criteria under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), as such license agreement did not meet the ASC 805 definition of a business, as the transaction resulted in an intangible asset of acquired intellectual property rights only, and the Company did not acquire any employees or tangible assets, or any processes, protocols, or operating systems. Accordingly, the transaction was determined to be to be an asset acquisition under ASC 805. Further, the cost of the acquired intellectual property rights were recognized as a current period research and development expense, as required under ASC Topic 730, Research and Development (ASC 730), as the acquired intellectual property rights were purchased from others for use in a research and development activity, and for which there are no alternative future uses.

 

The Tufts Patent License Agreement also provides for potential payments from the Company to the Licensors upon the achievement of certain product development and regulatory clearance milestones as well as royalty payments on net sales upon the commercialization of products developed utilizing the licensed patents. The Company will recognize as a current period expense for contingent milestone payments or royalties in the period in which such liabilities are incurred. Patent fee reimbursement under the Tufts Patent License Agreement recognized as research and development expense was $25,876 and $61,713 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and $0 and $20,551 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Effective October 2015, the Company entered into a three-year management services agreement with HCP/Advisors LLC, an affiliate of a former director of the Company, wherein HCP/Advisors LLC is to provide the Company with certain management services, including without limitation, identifying potential corporate opportunities, general business development, corporate development, corporate governance, marketing strategy, strategic development and planning, coordination with service providers, and other advisory services as may be mutually agreed upon. Pursuant to such agreement with HCP/Advisors LLC, the Company paid HCP/Advisors LLC an initial first month’s fee of $35,000 commencing as of November 1, 2015, and thereafter, a monthly fee of $25,000 through October 31, 2018. The Company incurred an expense of $75,000 and $150,000 in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, included in “general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Effective September 2016, the Company and HCFP/Strategy Advisors LLC, an affiliate of certain former directors and current officers of the Company, entered into a management consulting agreement referred to as the “HCFP Strategic Advisory Agreement”, which expired on May 14, 2017, as discussed below. Under the HCFP Strategic Advisory Agreement, HCFP/Strategy Advisors LLC had been engaged for an initial term of five months from September 14, 2016 to February 14, 2017, to provide various management consulting advisory services, including: to provide strategic business planning, to identify and assist with potential sources of financing arrangements, to promote the Company to various potential investors, and to provide strategic advisory services as reasonably requested by the Company. The HCFP Strategic Advisory Agreement provided for an initial total fee of $110,000, with $30,000 paid upon execution of the agreement and four payments of $20,000 per month from October 2016 to January 2017.

The Company incurred total expense of $20,000 and $80,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, under the HCFP Strategic Advisory Agreement and the discrete invoice dated June 30, 2017, each as noted above, which is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Previously, in January 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Xzerta Trading LLC d/b/a HCFP/Capital Markets (“HCFP/Capital Markets”), an affiliate of certain former directors and current officers of the Company, which has since expired, for HCFP/Capital Markets to be the Company’s exclusive placement agent for the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction (“the HCFP/Capital Markets Placement Agent Agreement”), wherein, HCFP/Capital Markets was paid a fee of $177,576 representing 7.0% of the gross proceeds realized in such offering, with such fee included in the line item captioned “Loss on issuance of Series A Preferred Stock Units issued in a private placement” as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 13, Preferred Stock , for a further discussion of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement.

 

Previously, effective June 30, 2017, the Company and Michael J. Glennon, Vice Chairman and member of the board of directors, agreed to terminate the consulting agreement in effect since October 1, 2016, under which Mr. Glennon agreed to provide us with services and advice relating to the successful development and commercialization of medical device products. Effective as of December 31, 2016, Mr. Glennon waived his right to compensation under the consulting agreement for the year ended December 31, 2016, and, effective as of March 31, 2017, Mr. Glennon further waived his right to compensation under the consulting agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Previously, effective November 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Patrick Glennon, a related-party as the brother of Michael J. Glennon, Vice Chairman and a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Patrick Glennon Consulting Agreement”), wherein, Mr. Patrick Glennon will provide consulting support and advice with respect to the development and commercialization of resorbable ear tubes. The sole compensation for such services is the issuance on November 28, 2016 of stock options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price of $9.50 per share, and vesting ratably on a quarterly basis commencing December 31, 2016 and ending on September 30, 2019.

On July 2, 2018, a former financial advisor to the Company filed a complaint in New York State court of a claim of breach of contract based on the Company’s purported failure to pay certain compensation claimed to be owed to the former financial advisor and seeking monetary damages to be determined at trial of not less than $125,400. The Company believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. The outcome of this claim and /or a reasonable estimate of an amount to be paid by the Company, if any, is highly uncertain at this time, and, therefore, the Company has not recognized a provision for such contingent loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018 with respect to this particular matter. Notwithstanding, if in the future the outcome of the matter is probable and a reasonable estimated loss, such loss will be recognized as an accrued expense liability in such future period.

 

In the ordinary course of our business, particularly as we begin commercialization of our products, the Company may be subject to certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which may arise from time to time. Except as otherwise noted herein, the Company does not believe it is currently a party to any other pending legal proceedings. Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject-to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. Additionally, although the Company has specific insurance for certain potential risks, the Company may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows.

Note 10 — Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

The stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and directors is based on the grant-date fair value, and for stock options granted to non-employees is based on the vesting date fair value, with the expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for both the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Stock Plan and the Lucid Diagnostics Inc, 2018 Stock Plan, for the periods indicated, was as follows:

 

    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2018     2017     2018     2017  
General and administrative expenses   $ 233,962     $ 223,735     $ 453,356     $ 466,187  
Research and development expenses     69,928       30,565       121,820       60,793  
Total   $ 303,890     $ 254,300     $ 575,176     $ 526,980  

 

The stock-based compensation expense recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements includes: $3,633 recognized by Lucid Diagnostics Inc. with respect to stock options granted under the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Stock Plan to non-employees providing services to Lucid Diagnostics Inc., and $8,277 recognized by Lucid Diagnostics Inc. with respect to stock options granted under the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Stock Plan to non-employees providing services to Lucid Diagnostics Inc. - with each such stock based compensation expense classified in research and development expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. There was no such Lucid Diagnostics Inc. recognized stock-based compensation expense for the prior year periods.

 

As of June 30, 2018, under the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Stock Plan, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.8 million is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of 1.7 years; and, under the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Stock Plan, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million is expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of 2.8 years.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted under both the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Stock Plan and the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Stock Plan, which requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions, with the weighted-average valuation assumptions for stock-based awards, as follows: weighted-average risk-free interest rate is based on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of grant for a period commensurate with the assumed expected option term; expected term of stock options represents the period of time stock options are expected to be outstanding, which for employees is the expected term derived using the simplified method and for non-employees is the contractual term; expected stock price volatility is based on historical stock price volatilities of similar entities within the Company’s industry over the period commensurate with the expected term of the stock option; and, expected dividend yield is based on annual dividends of $0.00 as the Company has not historically paid, and does not expect for the foreseeable future to pay, a dividend.

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for stock options granted to employees and members of the board of directors under the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Stock Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, was based on a weighted average fair value of $1.23 per share and $1.55 per share, respectively, calculated using the following weighted average Black-Scholes valuation model assumptions:

 

    Six Months Ended June 30,  
    2018     2017  
Risk free interest rate     2.0 %     1.5 %
Expected term of stock options (in years)     5.8       5.8  
Expected stock price volatility     50 %     50 %
Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for stock options granted to non-employees under the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Stock Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, was based on a weighted average fair value of $1.96 per share and $3.86 per share, respectively, calculated using the following weighted average Black-Scholes valuation model assumptions:

 

    Six Months Ended June 30,  
    2018     2017  
Risk free interest rate     2.6 %     2.1 %
Expected term of stock options (in years)     9.0       9.2  
Expected stock price volatility     60 %     60 %
Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %

Note 10 — Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense (continued)

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for stock options granted to non-employees under the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Stock Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2018, was based on a weighted average fair value of $0.30 per share, calculated using the following weighted average Black-Scholes valuation model assumptions:

 

    Six Months Ended  
    June 30, 2018  
Risk free interest rate     2.9 %
Expected term of stock options (in years)     9.9  
Expected stock price volatility     63 %

(2) The Series A Warrants derivative liability and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability were fully extinguished on the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, as discussed herein below.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock Units issued in a private placement in the three months ended March 31, 2017 were each comprised of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one Series A Warrant, wherein, at the option of their respective holder, may be converted into /exercised for shares of common stock of the Company. See Note 13, Preferred Stock, for a further discussion of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and, Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a further discussion of the Series A Warrants.

 

The Series A Warrant and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option were each determined to be a derivative liability under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging (ASC 815), as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock common stock exchange factor denominator and the Series A Warrant exercise price are each subject to potential adjustment resulting from future financing transactions, under certain conditions, along with certain other provisions which may result in required or potential full or partial cash settlement. Through the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer discussed herein below, the respective Series A Warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability were each classified as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and each were initially measured at estimated fair value at the time of issuance and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date, with changes in estimated fair value recognized as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The number of Series A Warrants and shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018 is as follows:

 

          Series A  
    Series A     Convertible

Note 12 — Note and Securities Purchase Agreement, Senior Secured Note, and Series S Warrants

 

The Company and Scopia Holdings LLC (“Scopia” or the “Lender”) entered into a Note and Security Purchase Agreement, wherein the Company issued to Scopia and its designees, a Senior Secured Note with an initial principal of $5.0 million (“Senior Secured Note”), and 2,660,000 Series S Warrants to purchase a corresponding number of shares of common stock of the Company, upon Scopia delivering to the Company $4.8 million in net cash proceeds on July 3, 2017. The aggregate remaining unpaid principal balance of the Senior Secured Note, as discussed herein below, is due on June 30, 2019.

 

The Senior Secured Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 15.0%, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each calendar year, commencing December 30, 2017 (“15% interest expense”). The Company may elect, at its sole discretion, to defer payment of up to 50% of the semi-annual 15% interest expense due, with such deferred amount added to the outstanding interest-bearing principal balance of the Senior Secured Note. In this regard, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Senior Secured Note principal balance is $5,383,112 and $5,188,542, respectively, with each such principal amount comprised of the initial principal of $5.0 million and the deferred semi-annual interest.

 

The Senior Secured Note and the Series S Warrants are freestanding financial instruments, as the Series S Warrants were immediately legally detachable from the Senior Secured Note and were immediately exercisable. The Series-S Warrants are classified as equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a further discussion of the Series S Warrants.

 

The $4,842,577 of cash proceeds, which are net of the Lender’s issue costs, have been allocated to the Senior Secured Note and the Series S Warrants based on their respective relative fair value, as discussed below, resulting in an allocation of $1,408,125 to the Senior Secured Note and $3,434,452 to the Series S Warrants, with the resulting difference of $3,591,875 between the Senior Secured Note initial principal amount and the allocated amount accounted for as debt discount, amortized as interest expense over the term of the Senior Secured Note. The Senior Secured Note remaining unamortized debt discount is $2,632,807 as of June 30, 2018 and $3,244,274 as of December 31, 2017.

 

The Senior Secured Note interest expense recognized includes both the 15% interest expense and the amortization of the debt discount, and amounted to $500,304 and $1,000,608, including, $305,733 and $611,467 of amortized debt discount, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. There was no such interest expense in the prior year periods.

 

At the discretion of the Company, the aggregate principal balance of the Senior Secured Note and any earned and unpaid interest may be repaid at any time without penalty or premium. Additionally, under the Senior Secured Note, if at the Company’s discretion, it sells its PortIO™ Product - i.e. the implantable intraosseous vascular access device - then the Senior Secured Note holders’ may require the Company to repay the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Note, in whole or in part, together with any accrued interest thereon, from the net cash proceeds of such PortIO™ Product sale, provided such principal and interest repayment is limited to the amount of the net cash proceeds from such PortIO™ Product sale.

 

The Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia contains various customary negative covenants of the Company including restrictions on the Company incurring any additional indebtedness or liens or declaring or paying any dividends, subject to certain exceptions provided for in the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia, while any amount under the Senior Secured Note remains outstanding. Additionally, the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia also contains certain affirmative covenants of the Company, including, among others:

 

If the PortIO™ Product obtains initial FDA 510(k) clearance, then, commencing four months after such FDA 510(k) clearance, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to attempt to sell the PortIO™ Product on commercially reasonable terms for an amount not less than $10.0 million. If the net cash proceeds are $10.0 million or greater from such PortIO™ product sale, and there are no continuing obligations imposed on the Company, which would constitute an undue burden on the Company, resulting from such PortIO™ Product sale transaction, then the Senior Secured Note holders may request the Company to repay the then aggregate remaining unpaid principal balance of the Senior Secured Note. Notwithstanding, as the FDA has indicated the PortIO™ Product will be reviewed for approval and clearance under a regulatory pathway other than a 510(k) clearance, such Note and Securities Purchase Agreement provision is not operative;
   
As noted herein above, the Company’s CEO agreed to the payment of a reduced salary of $4,200 per month for the period July 1, 2017 through January 31, 2018, with such earned but unpaid salary to be paid to the CEO only upon the Senior Secured Note first being repaid-in-full. The earned but unpaid salary has been recognized as an accrued salary expense liability of $145,937 and $125,088 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 12 — Note and Securities Purchase Agreement, Senior Secured Note, and Series S Warrants (continued)

 

Additionally, the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia provides, for so long as the Lender holds at least 50% of the aggregate remaining unpaid principal balance of the Senior Secured Note, the Lender shall have the ability to nominate one individual to the Company’s board of directors, provided the board of directors shall have the right to reject any such Lender nominee if it determines in good faith such Lender nominee is not reasonably acceptable. In this regard, on August 3, 2017, the Lender nominee was appointed to the Company’s board of directors.

 

Payment of all amounts due and payable under the Senior Secured Note are guaranteed by the Company, and the obligations under the Senior Secured Note are secured by all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of a Note and Guaranty Security Agreement. The Lender may transfer or assign all or any part of the Senior Secured Note to any person with the prior written consent of the Company, provided no consent shall be required from the Company for any transfer to an affiliate of the Lender, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in the Senior Secured Note. Notwithstanding, the Company obtained from Scopia a waiver of compliance with the “subsidiary guaranty” provision with respect to the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc., and, with respect of Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”), under the “EsoCheck™ License Agreement”, having the right, in its sole discretion, to require the Company to transfer to CWRU a percentage, varying up to 100%, of the shares of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. held by the Company, if Lucid Diagnostics does not meet certain milestones listed in the EsoCheck™ License Agreement. See Note 7, Agreements Related to Acquired Intellectual Property Rights , for information regarding the “EsoCheck™ License Agreement”.

 

The Senior Secured Note had an estimated fair value of $4.8 million as of June 30, 2018 and $4.6 million as of December 31. 2017. The Senior Secured Note issue-date fair value of $4.1 million was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with a required rate of return of 25.5%, with such rate of return determined through a synthetic credit rating analysis involving a comparison of market yields on publicly-traded secured corporate debentures with characteristics similar to those of the Senior Secured Note. The Series S Warrants issue-date fair value of $10.0 million was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:

 

    Issue  
Series S Warrants   Date  
Exercise price per share   $ 0.01  
Value of common stock   $ 4.50  
Expected term (years)     15.0  
Volatility     48 %

Note 13 — Preferred Stock (continued)

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (continued)

 

At the holders’ election, a share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of common stock of the Company at a common stock conversion exchange factor equal to a numerator of $6.00 and a denominator currently set at $4.97, with such denominator subject to further adjustment by a prescribed formula should any subsequent issuances by the Company of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, be at a price lower than such denominator immediately prior to such new issuance. Previously, at issuance, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock common stock conversion exchange factor denominator was initially $6.00, and was subsequently adjusted to $5.00 upon the issuance of the Series S Warrants on July 3, 2017, then to $4.99 upon the issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units on August 4, 2017, and then to $4.97 upon the issuance of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Warrants on the November 17, 2017 Exchange Date of the Series A Exchange Offer.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option is accounted for as a bifurcated derivative liability under FASB ASC 815, as along with other provisions, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock common stock exchange factor denominator, as discussed above, is subject to potential adjustment resulting from future financing transactions, under certain conditions. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet, initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance, and subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in its fair value recognized as other income or expense in the statement of operations. Upon the occurrence of an event resulting in the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability to be subsequently derecognized, its fair value will first be adjusted on such date, with the fair value adjustment recognized as other income or expense, and then such derivative liability will be derecognized. See Note 11, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements , for further detail regarding the fair value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability.

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provided for dividends at a rate of 8% per annum based on the stated value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with such dividends compounded quarterly, accumulate, and are payable in arrears upon being declared by the Company’s board of directors. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends from April 1, 2017 through April 1, 2021 were payable-in-kind (“PIK”) in additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon the closing of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer on the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date, cumulative aggregate earned undeclared Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends of $139,058 were transferred to the respective holders’ Series B Convertible Preferred Stock dividend balances, with such balance transferred inclusive of $26,487 earned for the period January 1, 2018 through the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date. In the prior year period, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends of $51,271 and $77,711 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, were earned and undeclared. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends for each respective period were earned, accumulated, and in arrears, as the Company’s board of directors had not declared such dividends payable, and, therefore, such dividends are not recognized as a dividend payable liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet until declared by the Company’s board of directors. Notwithstanding, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends earned and undeclared for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss attributable to PAVmed Inc. common stockholders for each respective period.

 

In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can become redeemable at the election of at least two-thirds of holders of the then number of issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to effect a dissolution of the Company under the Delaware General Corporation Law within ninety (90) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company or a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding are entitled to be paid out the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the common stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the stated value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock been converted into shares of common stock prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up, or Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined. As the Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined, is a contingent event, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is classified outside of stockholders’ equity in temporary (“mezzanine”) equity. Further, as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable and redemption is not probable, as a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined, has not occurred and is not probable, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not be measured at fair value until such time as a redemption trigger occurs which causes redemption to be probable.

Note 13 — Preferred Stock (continued)

 

Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units Private Placement

 

On August 4, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company may issue up to an aggregate of $600,000 (subject to increase) of Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units at a price of $4.00 per unit, in a private placement transaction (Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement). On the August 4, 2017 closing date of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement, a total of 125,000 Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units were issued for cash proceeds of $500,000 - the Company did not incur placement agent fees in connection with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock Unit was comprised of one share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and one Series A-1 Warrant, and at their issuance were immediately separable, and each was immediately convertible and exercisable, respectively.

 

At the election of their respective holder, a share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock of the Company at a prescribed common stock exchange factor, and, a Series A-1 Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company or may be exchanged for four Series X-1 Warrants or five Series W Warrants, with each such warrant exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company - each as more fully described herein below.

 

On October 18, 2017, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock holders unanimously approved Amendment No. 1 to Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction documents (“Series A-1 Amendment No. 1), wherein, a Series A-1 Warrant may be exchanged for four Series X-1 Warrants or exchanged for five Series W Warrants. See herein below for a discussion of the expense recognized resulting from the Series A-1 Amendment No. 1 modification to provide for the additional exchange of one Series A-1 Warrant for five Series W Warrants. The Series X-1 Warrants replaced the previous election to exchange one Series A-1 Warrant for four Series X Warrants. The Series X-1 Warrants are substantively equivalent to the Series X Warrants with respect to material contractual terms and conditions, including the same $6.00 per share exercise price, and dates of exercisability and expiry. The Series X-1 Warrant also confirms such warrants are not subject to redemption, and under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle the Series X-1 Warrants, for any reason, nor to pay any liquidated damages or other payments, resulting from a failure to satisfy any obligations under the Series X-1 Warrant, notwithstanding such provisions were applicable to the Series X Warrant through the operation of the Securities Purchase Agreement of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement. See herein below for a discussion of the Series X-1 Warrants or Series W Warrants issued upon exchange of a Series A-1 Warrant.

 

Additionally, the Series A-1 Amendment No. 1 removed the requirement for the Company to file an initial registration statement within sixty days of the Series A-1 Close Date. Further, on December 29, 2017, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock holders unanimously approved Amendment No.2 to Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction documents (“Series A-1 Amendment No. 2), wherein, the due date for an effective registration statement was changed to 210 days from 150 days of the August 4, 2017 close date of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement.

 

The Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement cash proceeds of $500,000 were allocated as $189,550 to the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and $310,450 to the Series A-1 Warrants, based on their respective relative fair value. The issue-date fair value of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was estimated using a combination of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock’s present value of its cash flows using a required rate of return determined through a synthetic credit rating analysis and the Black-Scholes valuation model; and the fair value of the Series A-1 Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model and assuming the exchange of one Series A-1 Warrant for four Series X Warrants, using the following assumptions:

Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

 

As discussed herein above, a total of 125,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were previously issued in the Series A-1 Preferred Stock private placement on August 4, 2017. The November 17, 2017 Series A Exchange Offer discussed herein above, resulted in 232,259 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock issued-upon-exchange of 154,837 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017, there were 357,259 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

The Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer executed on March 15, 2018 discussed herein above, resulted in 357,259 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being exchanged for the issue of 476,234 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, as of the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, there were no issued and outstanding shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, as they were fully exchanged for shares Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

See herein above for further information regarding the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 11, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements , for further detail regarding both the March 15, 2018 Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer and the November 17, 2017 Series A Exchange Offer.

 

The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was classified in permanent equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, had a par value of $0.001 per share, no voting rights, a stated value of $4.00 per share, and was immediately convertible upon its issuance. At the holders’ election, a share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into one share of common stock of the Company at a common stock conversion exchange factor equal to a numerator of $4.00 and a denominator of $4.00, with such denominator not subject to further adjustment, except for the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock. The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be redeemed for cash and under no circumstances shall the Company be required to net cash settle the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

As discussed above, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement cash proceeds allocated to the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of $189,550 resulted in an effective conversion price below the issue-date fair value of the underlying shares of common stock, resulting in a $182,500 beneficial conversion feature, which was accounted for as an implied discount on the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock does not have a stated redemption date and was immediately convertible upon issuance, resulting in the full accretion of the beneficial conversion feature as a deemed dividend paid to the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock on the August 4, 2017 issue date, with such deemed dividend included as a component of net loss attributable to attributable to common stockholders.

 

The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock provided for dividends at a rate of 8% per annum on the stated value of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, with such dividends compounded quarterly, accumulate, and are payable in arrears upon being declared by the Company’s board of directors. The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock dividends from October 1, 2017 through October 1, 2021 were payable-in-kind (“PIK”) in additional shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Upon the closing of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, cumulative aggregate Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock dividends of $104,936 were transferred to the respective holders’ Series B Convertible Preferred Stock dividend balances, with such balance transferred inclusive of $25,148 earned for the period January 1, 2018 through the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date. The were no Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock dividends earned as of the six months ended June 30, 2017, as shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock was first issued on August 4, 2017 as discussed herein above. The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock dividends for each respective period were earned, accumulated, and in arrears, as the Company’s board of directors had not declared such dividends payable, and, therefore, such dividends are not recognized as a dividend payable liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet until declared by the Company’s board of directors. Notwithstanding, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock dividends earned and undeclared for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss attributable to PAVmed Inc. common stockholders for each respective period.

There were 16,815,039 Series Z Warrants issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018, including: 2,739,190 Series Z Warrants initially issued on the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer discussed herein above; 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants issued on the April 5, 2018 Exchange Date of the “Series W Warrants Exchange Offer” discussed herein below; and 9,000,000 Series Z Warrants issued in the June 12, 2018 Equity Subscription Rights Offering as discussed herein above.

 

Upon their respective issue, a Series Z Warrant enabled the holder to immediately purchase one share of PAVM common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018. The Series Z Warrant exercise price was initially $3.00 per share through May 31, 2018, and then $1.60 per share effective June 1, 2018, wherein, on May 15, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction to the Series Z Warrant exercise price to $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, upon completion of the period-of-notice to the then-current Series Z Warrant holders. See herein below for further information with respect to the modification expense recognized in connection with the Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment. The Series Z Warrant $1.60 exercise price is not subject-to further adjustment, unless by action of the PAVmed Inc board of directors, or the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. Under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle the Series Z Warrants, nor to pay any liquidated damages in lieu of delivery of shares of common stock of the Company resulting from a failure to satisfy any obligations under the Series Z Warrant, and, the Series Z Warrants expire after the close of business on April 30, 2024, if not earlier redeemed by the Company, as discussed below.

 

Commencing on May 1, 2019, the Company may redeem the outstanding Series Z Warrants, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a price of $0.01 per Series Z Warrant at any time while the Series Z Warrants are exercisable, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if, and only if, the volume weighted average closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $9.00 (subject to adjustment) for any 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days ending three business days before the Company issues its notice of redemption, and provided the average daily trading volume in the Common Stock during such 30-day period is at least 20,000 shares per day; and if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Series Z Warrants.

Warrants (continued)

 

Series Z Warrants (continued)

 

The Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the Series W Warrants on the April 5, 2018 Exchange Date, upon their issuance, enabled the holder to immediately purchase one share of PAVM common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, with an expiry of April 30, 2024. The Series Z Warrant exercise price was initially $3.00 per share through May 31, 2018, and then $1.60 per share effective June 1, 2018. See herein below for further information with respect to the Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment and the resulting modification expense recognized on June 1, 2018. The Series Z Warrant $1.60 exercise price is not subject-to further adjustment, unless by action of the PAVmed Inc board of directors, or the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. The Series Z Warrants are redeemable by the Company under certain conditions, as discussed above.

 

On the April 5, 2018 Exchange Date, the Series W Warrants Exchange Offer resulted in the recognition of a modification expense under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock-Based Compensation (ASC 718), with respect to stock option modification, wherein an exchange of warrants is deemed to be a modification of the initial warrant agreement by the replacement with a revised warrant agreement, requiring the incremental fair value, measured as the difference between the fair value immediately after the modification as compared to the fair value immediately before the modification, to the extent an increase, recognized as a modification expense. In this regard, the Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the Series W Warrants resulted in the recognition of a modification expense of $766,456, with a corresponding increase to addition paid-in capital, with such modification expense resulting from the difference in estimated fair values of the consideration given of $3,304,377 with respect to the 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the 10,151,682 Series W Warrants extinguished having an estimated fair value of $2,537,921. The April 5, 2018 Exchange Date estimated fair values of each of the Series Z Warrants and Series W Warrants noted above, were each computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions:

 

Fair Value Assumptions   Series Z     Series W

Calculated aggregate estimated fair value   $ 3,304,377     $ 2,537,921

Volatility     55 %     55 %
Risk free rate     2.7 %     2.5 %

As noted above, the Series Z Warrant exercise price was initially $3.00 per share through May 31, 2018, and then $1.60 per share effective June 1, 2018, wherein, on May 15, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction to the Series Z Warrant exercise price to $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, upon completion of the period-of-notice to the then-current Series Z Warrant holders. The Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment resulted in the recognition of a modification expense under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, as described herein above with respect to the Series W Warrant Exchange Offer. In this regard, on the June 1, 2018 effective date of the Series Z Warrant adjusted exercise price, a modification expense of $1,140,995 was recognized, with a corresponding increase to addition paid-in capital. Such incremental fair value was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model, using the following assumptions:

 

    Immediately     Immediately  
Fair Value Assumptions - June 1, 2018   After     Before

Series Z Warrants (continued)

 

Additionally, the Series Z Warrants issued in both the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer (March 15, 2018) and the Series W Warrants Exchange Offer (April 5, 2018), each as discussed herein above, were issued under the (original) “Series Z Warrant Agreement”. The Company’s board of directors approved Amendment No. 1 to such original Series Z Warrant Agreement, resulting in the “Amended and Restated Series Z Warrant Agreement”, dated June 8, 2018, referred to as the Amended Series Z Warrant Agreement. The principal provisions of such Amendment No. 1, include among other items: to provide for a “late delivery fee” for shares issued outside of the “standard delivery period”, including delivery of shares upon Series Z Warrant exercise for open market or other purchase transactions - i.e. “buy-in fee”, with each such payment, if any, in addition to and not in lieu of delivery of shares, and, to provide for a standard provision (“plain vanilla”) in the event the Company engages in a “Fundamental Transaction”, as defined, wherein the Series Z Warrant may participate pari passu with common stockholders in the consideration paid by an acquiror for the Company’s shares, with such payment, if any, made by the acquiring entity and not paid by the Company as issuer. The Series Z Warrant Agreement No. 1, was evaluated under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, as discussed above, but did not result in the recognition of a modification expense as there was no incremental increase in the estimated fair value as described above.

 

Series W Warrants

 

There were 381,818 and 10,567,845 Series W Warrants issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Series W Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share, with such exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock, and became exercisable on October 28, 2016 and expire on January 29, 2022, or earlier upon redemption by the Company, as discussed below. Under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle the Series W Warrants, nor to pay any liquidated damages resulting from a failure to satisfy any obligations under the Series W Warrant.

 

Previously, a total of 1,060,000 Series W Warrants were issued on the April 28, 2016 closing date of the Company’s IPO, and on the same April 28, 2016 IPO closing date, there were 9,560,295 remaining unexercised warrants previously issued in private placements before the IPO, with such warrants automatically converted into identical Series W Warrants issued in the IPO, and are therefore aggregated with the Series W Warrants issued in the IPO, and together are collectively referred to as “Series W Warrants”.

 

As noted above, on the April 5, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series W Warrant Exchange Offer, a total of 10,151,682 Series W Warrants were extinguished upon being exchanged for the issue of a total of 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants.

 

On January 11, 2018, the Company filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO offering Series W Warrants holders a temporary exercise price of $2.00 per share, with such offer having an expiry of February 8, 2018 (“Series W Warrants Offer-to-Exercise”). As of the February 8, 2018 expiry date, a total of 34,345 Series W Warrants were exercised at the temporary exercise of $2.00 per share, resulting in $68,690 of cash proceeds, before offering costs of $50,520.

 

In March 2017 and September 2017, 400 and 11,850 Series W Warrants were exercised for cash proceeds of $2,000 and $59,250, respectively, resulting in the issuances of a corresponding number of shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Commencing April 28, 2017, the Company may redeem the outstanding Series W Warrants (other than those outstanding prior to the IPO held by the Company’s management, founders, and members thereof, but including the warrants held by the initial investors), at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant: at any time while the warrants are exercisable; upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; if, and only if, the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 (subject-to adjustment) for any 20 consecutive trading days ending three business days before the Company issues its notice of redemption, and provided the average daily trading volume in the stock is at least 20,000 shares per day; and, if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants. The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the IPO Warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption.

Series S Warrants

 

Previously, under the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia, the Company issued 2,660,000 Series S Warrants to Scopia and its designees, which were immediately exercisable upon issuance and each may be exercised for one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, with such exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except for the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock, and may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. Under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle the Series S Warrants, nor to pay any liquidated damages resulting from a failure to satisfy any obligations under the Series S Warrant. Any Series S Warrants outstanding on the June 30, 2032 expiration date will be automatically exercised on a cashless basis.

 

There were 1,199,383 and 1,473,640 Series S Warrants issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. In March 2018, a total of 274,257 Series S Warrants exercised for $2,743 of cash proceeds, resulting in the issue of a corresponding number of a shares of common stock of the Company. In each of October 2017 and November 2017, 532,000 (or a total of 1,064,000) Series S Warrants were exercised for total cash proceeds of $10,640, resulting in the issuance of a corresponding number of shares of common stock of the Company, and in November 2017, a total of 122,360 Series S Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of a total of 122,080 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The Senior Secured Note and the Series S Warrants are freestanding financial instruments, as the Series S Warrants were immediately legally detachable from the Senior Secured Note and were immediately exercisable. The Series-S Warrants are classified as equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Senior Secured Note net cash proceeds were allocated to the Senior Secured Note and the Series S Warrants based on their respective relative fair value, resulting in an allocation of $1,408,125 to the Senior Secured Note and $3,434,452 to the Series S-Warrants. See Note 12, Note and Securities Purchase Agreement, Senior Secured Note, and Series S Warrants , for further information regarding the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia, including the non-recurring issue-date fair values of the Senior Secured Note and Series S Warrants.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-221406), declared effective January 8, 2018, to register the issuance of a total of 2,810,654 shares of common stock of the Company, including 1,473,640 shares issuable, and 1,186,080 shares previously issued, upon the exercise of Series S Warrants; and, the registration of (i) the issuance of 150,934 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of 150,934 certain Series W Warrants issued prior to the Company’s IPO, but only in the event such certain Series W Warrants are publicly transferred pursuant to Rule 144 prior to their exercise, or (ii) the resale of such 150,934 shares of common stock, but only in the event such certain Series W Warrants are exercised prior to being publicly transferred pursuant to Rule 144.

Series A-1 Warrants

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were zero and 279,837 Series A-1 Warrants issued and outstanding, respectively. Previously, 125,000 Series A-1 Warrants were issued on August 4, 2017 in the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement”, as discussed herein above. The November 17, 2017 Series A Exchange Offer, as discussed herein above, resulted in 154,837 Series A-1 Warrants issued upon exchange of 154,837 Series A Warrants. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017, 279,837 Series A-1 Warrants were issued and outstanding. The March 15, 2018 Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, as discussed herein above, resulted in 279,837 Series A-1 Warrants exchanged for the issue of 1,399,185 Series Z Warrants. Accordingly, as of the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, there we no Series A-1 Warrants issued and outstanding. See herein above for further information regarding the Series Z Warrant. See Note 11, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements , for further detail regarding the March 15, 2018 Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer and the November 17, 2017 Series A Exchange Offer.

 

The Series A-1 Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance and expire after the close of business on April 30, 2024, and each may be exercised for one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $6.67 per share, with such exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except for the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. Additionally, through April 30, 2024, each Series A-1 Warrant, at the option of the holder, may be exchanged into either five Series W Warrants of four Series X-1 Warrants. The Series W Warrants or Series X-1 Warrants issued upon the exchange of a Series A-1 Warrant are discussed below. No Series A-1 Warrants had been exchanged for Series W Warrants nor Series X-1 Warrants as of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer March 15, 2018 Exchange Date and December 31, 2017.

 

The Series A-1 Warrants were not subject to redemption, and under no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle the Series A-1 Warrants. The Series A-1 Warrants have been accounted for as equity-classified warrants, with an issue-date allocated fair value of $310,450, as discussed above. During the time the Series A-1 Warrants are outstanding, the holders will be entitled to participate in dividends or other distributions on a pro rata basis based upon the equivalent number of common shares that would have been outstanding had the warrants been fully exercised.

 

As noted above, the Series A-1 Amendment No.1 provided for a Series A-1 Warrant to be exchanged for four Series X-1 Warrants, or additionally, exchanged for five Series W Warrants. The Series X-1 Warrants replaced the previous election to exchange one Series A-1 Warrant for four Series X Warrants. Notwithstanding, the Series X-1 Warrants are substantively equivalent to the Series X Warrants with respect to material contractual terms and conditions, including the same $6.00 per share exercise price, and dates of exercisability and expiry.

 

The Series A-1 Amendment No.1 modification to the Series A-1 Warrants’ exchange elections was accounted for under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718, wherein, the incremental fair value is measured as the difference between the fair value immediately after the modification as compared to the fair value immediately before the modification, with such incremental fair value, to the extent an increase, recognized as a modification expense. On the October 18, 2017 date of the Series A-1 Amendment No.1 the Company recognized a current period expense related to the Series A-1 Warrants’ modification of $222,000, with such expense included in other income (expense) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the Series A-1 Warrants are equity classified. Such incremental fair value was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model, assuming the exchange of one Series A-1 Warrant for five Series W Warrants after the Series A-1 Warrant modification, as compared to an exchange of one Series A-1 Warrant for four Series X Warrants before such modification, using the following assumptions:

 

    Series A-1 Amendment No. 1  
    Series A-1 Warrants Modification  
    Fair Value - October 18, 2017  
    Immediately     Immediately  
Fair Value Assumptions - October 18, 2017   After     Before

Series A Warrants

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were zero and 268,001 Series A Warrants issued and outstanding, respectively. Previously, a total of 422,838 Series A Warrants were issued in the Series A Preferred Stock private placement, as discussed herein above. The November 17, 2017 Series A Exchange Offer, as discussed herein above, resulted in 154,837 Series A Warrants exchanged for the issue of 154,837 Series A-1 Warrants. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017, 268,001 Series A Warrants were issued and outstanding. The March 15, 2018 Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, as discussed herein above, resulted in 268,001 Series A Warrants exchanged for the issue of 1,340,005 Series Z Warrants. Accordingly, as of the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, there were no Series A Warrants issued and outstanding. See herein above for further information regarding the Series Z Warrant. See Note 11, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements , for further detail regarding the March 15, 2018 Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer and the November 17, 2017 Series A Exchange Offer. The Series A Warrants became exercisable on May 21, 2017 upon stockholder approval of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, with such approval obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d) and expire after the close of business on April 30, 2024. The Series A Warrants are not subject to redemption.

 

The Series A Warrants may be exercised for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.61 per share. Previously, upon issuance, the Series A Warrant exercise was initially $8.00 per share. In this regard, the Series A Warrant exercise price was subject to further reduction by a prescribed formula on a weighted average basis in the event the Company issues common stock, options, or convertible securities at a price lower than the exercise price of Series A Warrants immediately prior to such securities issuance.

 

Additionally, through April 30, 2024, each Series A Warrant, at the election of the holder, may be exchanged for four Series X Warrants, with such warrants exercisable for one share of common stock at $6.00 per share, with such exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. The Series X Warrants were exercisable commencing on the first trading day following October 31, 2018 and would have expired April 30, 2024.

 

As noted above, the Series A Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability under FASB ASC 815, as, along with other provisions, the conversion price is subject to potential adjustment resulting from future financing transactions, under certain conditions. The Series A Warrant was classified as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, initially measured at its issue-date fair value, with such fair value subsequently remeasured at each reporting period, with the resulting fair value adjustment recognized as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 11, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements , for further detail regarding the fair value of the Series A Warrants derivative liability.

 

Unit Purchase Options

 

In connection with the IPO, on April 28, 2016 53,000 unit purchase options (“UPO”) were issued to the IPO selling agents. The holders of the UPO may purchase a unit identical to the unit issued in the Company’s IPO, as discussed above, at an exercise price of $5.50 per unit. The UPO was recognized as an offering cost of the Company’s IPO, with an estimated the fair value of $105,100, determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value of the underlying unit of $5.00, expected volatility of 50%, risk free rate of 1.28%, remaining contractual term of 4.6 years, and a dividend yield of 0%.

(1) The dividends for each of the Convertible Preferred Stock, including Series B, Series A-1, and Series A, for each of the respective periods presented were earned, accumulated, and in arrears, as the Company’s board of directors had not declared such dividends payable, and, therefore, such dividends are not recognized as a dividend payable liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet until declared by the Company’s board of directors. Notwithstanding, such dividends for each of the period March 16, 2018 to June 30, 2018 for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, January 1, 2018 to March 15, 2018 for the Series A-1 and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and for the period January 26, 2017 to June 30, 2017 for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss attributable to PAVmed Inc. common stockholders for each respective periods presented. See Note 13, Preferred Stock , for a further discussion of the dividends for each of the respective series of convertible preferred stock.
   
(2) Basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period excludes common stock equivalent incremental shares, while diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding includes such incremental shares. However, as the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same, as the inclusion of common stock equivalent incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.
   
(3) The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has the right to receive common stock dividends, and prior to the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A Exchange Offer, holders of the Series A Warrants and the Series A-1 Warrants previously had the right to receive common stock dividends. As such, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series A Warrants and Series A-1 Warrants would potentially have been considered participating securities under the two-class method of calculating net loss per share. However, the Company has incurred net losses to-date, and as such holders are not contractually obligated to share in the losses, there is no impact on the Company’s net loss per share calculation for the periods indicated.

Note 15 —Loss Per Share (continued)

 

The following common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

 

    June 30,  
    2018     2017  
Stock Options     3,082,032       1,831,924  
Unit purchase options as to shares of common stock     53,000       53,000

Series A Warrants (8)           422,838  
Total     22,559,840       13,363,295  

 

(4) There were 16,815,039 Series Z Warrants issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018, including: 2,739,190 Series Z Warrants initially issued on the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer discussed herein above; 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants issued on the April 5, 2018 Exchange Date of the “Series W Warrants Exchange Offer” discussed herein below; and 9,000,000 Series Z Warrants issued in the June 12, 2018 Equity Subscription Rights Offering See Note 14, Stockholders Equity and Warrants , for a further discussion of the Series Z Warrants and the Series W Warrants.
   
(5) A total of 2,660,000 Series S Warrants were initially issued on July 3, 2017 in connection with the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia Holdings LLC. While the Series S Warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock of the Company, if they had been outstanding at June 30, 2017, they would have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Note 12, Note and Securities Purchase Agreement, Senior Secured Note, and Series S Warrants , for a discussion of the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia Holdings LLC, and Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a discussion of the Series S Warrants.
   
(6) The 975,568 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2018, if converted at the election of the holder, would result in a corresponding number of additional outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. See Note 13, Preferred Stock , for a further discussion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock common stock conversion election.
   
(7) As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Warrants issued and outstanding, wherein, with respect to June 30, 2018, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Warrants were each exchanged on the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer; and with respect to June 30, 2017, the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Warrants were first issued in the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement on August 4, 2017. See Note 13, Preferred Stock , for a further discussion of the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
   
(8) As of June 30, 2018, there were no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A Warrants issued and outstanding, as each were exchanged on the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer. The 422,838 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2017, if-converted, would have resulted in the issue of 422,838 shares of common stock of the Company as of June 30, 2017, resulting from a common stock conversion factor equal to a numerator of $6.00 and a denominator of $6.00 as of June 30, 2017. See Note 13, Preferred Stock , for a further discussion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Overview

 

PAVmed Inc. (“PAVmed” or “the Company”) is a highly-differentiated multi-product medical device company organized to advance a broad pipeline of innovative medical technologies we believe address unmet clinical needs and possess attractive market opportunities to commercialization. Our goal is to enhance and accelerate value creation by employing a business model focused on capital efficiency and speed to market. Since our inception on June 26, 2014, our activities have focused on advancing the lead products in our pipeline towards regulatory approval and commercialization, while protecting our intellectual property, and strengthening our corporate infrastructure and management team. As resources permit, we will continue to explore internal and external innovations that fulfill our project selection criteria without limiting ourselves to any target specialty or condition.

 

Since our inception in June 2014, we have financed our operations principally through issuances of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and debt. Prior to our April 2016 IPO, we raised approximately $2.1 million of net cash proceeds from private offerings of our common stock and warrants. Our April 2016 IPO resulted in approximately $4.2 million of net cash proceeds. During 2017 we raised a total of approximately $7.5 million of net cash proceeds from: a Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia Holdings LLC, (“Scopia” or the “Lender”) including the issuance of a $5.0 million Senior Secured Note and Series S Warrants; the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement; and the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement. In January 2018, the Company raised $4.3 million of net cash proceeds in an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock of the Company, pursuant to its previously filed effective shelf registration statement on SEC Form S-3 (File No. 333-220549), and in June 2018, the Company completed an equity subscription rights offering pursuant to its previously filed Form S-1 (File No. 333-222581) whereby shareholders of record exercised nine million subscription rights to purchase a unit security which immediately separated upon issue into one share common stock of the Company and one Series Z Warrant, resulting in approximately $10.4 million of gross cash proceeds, before approximately $1.0 million of commissions and fees to the dealer-managers, and approximately $0.2 million of offering costs incurred by the Company.

 

The following is a brief overview of the products currently in our pipeline, including our lead products of CarpX™, PortIO™, and DisappEAR™ together with our recent addition, EsoCheck™. These products are all in various phases of development and have not yet received regulatory approval. Among other things:

 

We have filed final nonprovisional patent applications for PortIO™ and CarpX™ and entered into a licensing agreement with a group of academic centers securing the worldwide rights in perpetuity to a family of patents and patent applications underlying our DisappEAR™ product.
   
On May 12, 2018, Lucid Diagnostics, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a worldwide license agreement with Case Western Reserve University for the intellectual property rights to the “EsoCheck™ Technology”, for the detection of Barrett’s Esophagus, the primary precursor to esophageal cancer, as further discussed herein below.
   
We have advanced, in partnership with our design and contract manufacturing partners, our CarpX™ product from concept to working prototypes, completed successful benchtop and cadaver testing confirming the device consistently cuts the transverse carpal ligament, as well as commercial design and development, and performed pre-submission verification and validation testing. On November 27, 2017 we filed a 510(k) premarket notification submission with the Federal Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for CarpX™ using a commercially available carpel tunnel release device as a predicate. On July 24, the FDA was in receipt of our response to earlier requests for non-clinical support for our application which included results from an animal study, which documented the device’s bipolar electrode design results in minimal spread of thermal energy – less than one-millimeter thermal injury by pathologic analysis and no increase in tissue temperatures except directly over the cutting electrodes. This response also included additional physician usability testing. Each hand surgeon successfully performed the CarpX procedure multiple times in cadavers. We expect to receive the FDA’s response to our resubmission shortly. In addition, we are preparing to submit for CE Mark clearance in Europe and have been approved for a first-in-man clinical series outside of the United States. We recently, hired a Chief Commercial Officer to further develop and implement our commercialization strategy in the United States and commercialization partnerships worldwide.

Overview (continued)

 

As noted above, in May 2018, our majority-owned subsidiary, Lucid Diagnostics Inc. entered into a licensed agreement with Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”) for the worldwide rights to the “EsoCheck™ Technology” - referred to herein as the “EsoCheck™ License Agreement”. The EsoCheck™ Technology is comprised of a cell sample collection device, referred to herein as the “EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device”, and highly accurate proprietary DNA biomarkers, referred to herein as the “EsoCheck™ DNA Biomarkers” are used to detect “Barrett’s Esophagus”, the primary precursor to esophageal cancer. The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), the most common cancer of the esophagus, the pipe through which food passes to the stomach, has quadrupled over the past 30 years. Its prognosis, however, remains dismal, with less than 20% of patients surviving five years.
   
  In a five-minute office-based test, the patient swallows the EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device, a vitamin-sized silicone-covered capsule containing a small inflatable balloon attached to a thin catheter, which swabs the target area for cell collection as the catheter is withdrawn. The collected cell sample is then tested against a panel of the proprietary EsoCheck™ DNA Biomarkers recently shown to be highly accurate in detecting Barrett’s Esophagus.
   
  The primary cause of EAC cancer is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), commonly known as chronic heartburn or acid reflux. GERD, where stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus, affects 20-40% of Western adult populations, according to published epidemiological data. The repeated exposure of the esophagus to acid can lead to pre-cancerous changes in its lining, called Barrett’s Esophagus. Nearly all patients diagnosed with EAC cancer have evidence of previously undetected Barrett’s Esophagus. If detected before EAC cancer develops, Barrett’s Esophagus can be successfully treated, usually with non-surgical approaches. Heartburn symptoms, commonly seen in patients with acid reflux with or without Barrett’s, can easily be treated by over-the counter medications, while endoscopy, the standard diagnostic test, is expensive, invasive and requires sedation. As a result, wide screening for Barrett’s is not practical or cost-effective. We are pursuing the development of the EsoCheck™ Technology to provide the estimated 50 million at-risk patients a non-invasive, less costly test to detect Barrett’s to treat it before it turns deadly.
   
  The proprietary EsoCheck™ DNA Biomarkers, developed by the laboratory of the EsoCheck™ Technology co-inventor Sanford D. Markowitz, MD, PhD, the Ingalls Professor of Cancer Genetics medical oncologist at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, NCI Outstanding Investigator Awardee, and head of the NIH-Case GI Cancers Program of Research Excellence (GI SPORE) and GI cancer genetics program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. In an article published in the periodical Science Translational Medicine clinical data showed DNA methylation of the VIM and CCNA1 genes is diagnostic of Barrett’s Esophagus and the EsoCheck™ Technology, which combines the proprietary EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Device with these biomarkers, was over 90% accurate at identifying patients without Barrett’s Esophagus. Another of the EsoCheck™ Technology three physician co-inventors, Dr. Joseph E. Willis, MD, professor of pathology and pathology vice-chair for clinical affairs, at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, is leading an ongoing NIH-supported effort to create a CLIA-certified VIM/CCNA1 DNA methylation test suitable for commercialization.
   
  Our initial goal is a U.S. launch of the first commercial “EsoCheck™ Technology” based product early next year. We have begun building EsoCheck™ Cell Sample Collection Devices for verification and validation testing with FDA 510(k) submission targeted for the end of this year. We are also working closely with the reference laboratory performing the EsoCheck™ DNA Biomarker test to complete the CLIA certification and clinical validation testing steps required to achieve a designation of the EsoCheck™ Technology as a commercial Laboratory Developed Test (LDT), a process which is on target for early next year. The ongoing multicenter National Institutes of Health-funded clinical study, which seeks to establish the definitive clinical evidence for widespread EsoCheck™ Technology screening of Barrett’s Esophagus, has expanded to eight enrolling centers. Through our majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc., we are working closely with the investigators to provide all necessary support to accelerate enrollment and ensure the data is of the highest quality for future regulatory submission.
   
We have advanced, in partnership with our design and contract manufacturing partners, our PortIO™ product from concept to working prototypes, benchtop, animal, and cadaver testing, commercial design and development, verification and validation testing, and an initial submission to the FDA for 510(k) market clearance for use in patients requiring 24-hour emergency type vascular access. After further discussion with the FDA, we have decided to pursue a broader clearance for use in patients with a need for vascular access up to seven days under section 513(f)2 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, also referred to as de novo classification. We have filed a de novo pre-submission package with the FDA, which was followed by an in-person meeting on January 9, 2018 to discuss the risk assessment and proposed mitigation for the de novo application. Based on FDA recommendations, we will initiate a seven-day animal study, having successfully completed a pilot animal study which showed excellent function of the device over the seven-day implant period and on explant. In anticipation of having to follow-up the animal study with a human clinical safety trial, we have accelerated our strategic partnership efforts to include the pre-clearance phase.

Overview (continued)

 

We have advanced, in partnership with our design and contract manufacturing partners and our academic partners at Tufts University and Harvard Medical School, our DisappEAR™ product. Our efforts have focused on sourcing commercially ready aqueous silk and optimizing manufacturing processes consistent with the necessary cost of good for the commercial product. Preparations are underway to begin an animal study to assess resorption rates of DisappEAR™, our resorbable, antimicrobial pediatric ear tube, which we are now able to machine from solid silk rods.
   
We have advanced the design and development of the NextFlo™ device, including a redesign which dramatically simplifies the product, lowers the projected cost of goods and expands its application to routine inpatient infusion sets. We have completed benchtop testing of a working prototype demonstrating constant flows across the range of pressures encountered in clinical situations. We have recently elevated NextFlo to lead product status having established proof of concept and we are proceeding with design work to ensure a cost-effective device with the potential to drive down health care costs. We believe this technology will permit hospitals to return to gravity-driven infusions and eliminate expensive and troublesome electronic pumps for most of the over 1 million hospital infusions performed in the U.S. each day.
   
Although we have focused the majority of our resources on our lead products, we have additional products in our pipeline which are currently in different stages of development. We have completed initial design work on the first product in the NextCath™ product line, completed head-to-head testing of retention forces, comparing our working prototype to several competing products, which has validated our approach and advanced the commercial design and development process focusing on optimizing the self-anchoring helical portion as well as cost of materials and manufacturing processes.
   
We are evaluating which initial applications for our Caldus™ disposable tissue ablation technology to pursue from a clinical and commercial point-of-view and will reinitiate development activity on this product once resources are available.
   
We remain actively engaged with our full-service regulatory consulting partner who is working closely with our contract design, engineering and manufacturing partners as our products advance towards regulatory submission, clearance, and commercialization.
   
We are evaluating a number of product opportunities and intellectual property covering a spectrum of clinical conditions, which have been presented to us by clinician innovators and academic medical centers, for consideration of a partnership to develop and commercialize these products; we are also exploring opportunities to partner with larger medical device companies to commercialize our lead products as they move towards regulatory clearance and commercialization.
     
We are exploring other opportunities to grow our business and enhance shareholder value through the acquisition of pre-commercial or commercial stage products and /or companies with potential strategic corporate and commercial synergies consistent with our growth strategy.

In addition, we are preparing to submit for CE Mark clearance in Europe and have been approved for a first-in-man clinical series outside of the United States. We recently, hired a Chief Commercial Officer to further develop and implement our commercialization strategy in the United States and commercialization partnerships worldwide.

 

On December 17, 2016, we filed a 510(k) premarket notification submission with the FDA for our first product, the PortIO™ Intraosseous Infusion System relying upon substantial equivalence to a previously approved predicate device with an indication for use for up to 24 hours. The Company engaged with the FDA on the issue of substantial equivalence, including an in-person meeting in July 2017, and had submitted a response based on the FDA’s feedback which included narrower indications and inclusion of a needle in the kit. After further discussion with the FDA, we decided to pursue a broader clearance for use in patients with a need for vascular access up to seven days under section 513(f)2 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, also referred to as de novo classification. We filed a de novo pre-submission package with the FDA which was followed by an in-person meeting on January 9, 2018 to discuss the risk assessment and proposed mitigation testing for the de novo application. Based on their recommendations we are about to initiate a seven-day animal study, having successfully completed a pilot animal study which showed excellent function of the device over the seven-day implant period and on explant.

On January 26, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company may issue up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 (subject to increase) of Series A Preferred Stock Units at a price of $6.00 per unit, in a private placement transaction (Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement). On the January 26, 2017 initial closing date of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, and at subsequent closings on January 31, 2017 and March 8, 2017, a total of 422,838 Series A Preferred Stock Units were issued for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million, after payment of placement agent fees and closing costs.

 

In addition to the 154,837 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged for 232,259 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and the 154,837 Series A Warrants exchanged for 154,837 Series A-1 Warrants in the Series A Exchange Offer, a total of 18,334 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into a total of 22,093 shares of common stock of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017, 249,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 268,001 Series A Warrants were each issued and outstanding.

 

The Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer executed on March 15, 2018 discussed herein above, resulted in 249,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being exchanged for the issue of 499,334 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and, 268,001 Series A Warrants being exchanged for the issue of 1,340,005 Series Z Warrants. Accordingly, as of the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, there were no issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock nor Series A Warrants, as they were each fully exchanged for shares Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series Z Warrants, respectively.

 

See Liquidity and Capital Resources herein below for further information regarding the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement, Series A-1 Convertible Stock, and Series A-1 Warrants.

Financial Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

To date, we have not generated any revenues from product sales. Our ability to generate product revenue and become profitable depends upon our ability to successfully complete the development and initiate the commercialization of our products.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel, including travel expenses for our employees in executive and research and development functions, facility-related costs, professional fees, accounting and legal services, consultants and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents within our intellectual property portfolio.

 

We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future prior to the potential regulatory approval of our first product, as we anticipate an increase in payroll and related expenses related to our preparation for commercial operations, including as it relates to sales and marketing. We also anticipate continued expenses related to being a public company, including audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance as a public company, director and officer insurance premiums and investor relations costs.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses are recognized in the period they are incurred and consist principally of internal and external expenses incurred for the research and development of our products and include:

 

  consulting costs charged to us by various external contract research organizations we contract with to conduct preclinical studies and engineering studies;
     
  salary and benefit costs associated with our chief medical officer;
     
  costs associated with regulatory filings;
     
  patent license fees;
     
  cost of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing and manufacturing preclinical prototypes;
     
  product design engineering studies; and
     
  rental expense for facilities maintained solely for research and development purposes.

 

We incurred approximately $6.5 million in research and development costs from June 26, 2014 (inception) through June 30, 2018. We plan to incur research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our products. Our current research and development activities are focused principally on obtaining FDA clearance and initializing commercialization of the lead products in our pipeline, CarpX™ and PortIO™, and to commence preparing EsoCheck TM for FDA submission, along with advancing our DisappEAR™ and NextFlo TM products through their respective development phase, with research and development activities on our other portfolio products commensurate with available capital resources. These planned research and development activities include the following:

 

  completion of engineering design studies for our products;
     
  finalization of engineering designs and documentation supporting our products;
     
  additional engineering and preclinical studies through our contract research partners;
     
  preparation and filing of regulatory submissions with the FDA for our products; and
     
  establishing and documenting manufacturing processes for our products.

 

The successful development of our products is highly uncertain and subject to numerous risks including, but not limited to:

 

  the scope, rate of progress and expense of our research and development activities;
     
  the scope, terms and timing of obtaining regulatory clearances;
     
  the expense of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims;
     
  the continued access to expertise through outsourced suppliers for engineering and manufacturing; and
     
  the cost, timing and our ability to manufacture sufficient prototype and commercial supplies for our products.

General and administrative expense

 

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017:

 

    Three Months     Three Months              
    Ended     Ended

Total general and administrative expenses   $ 1,590,656     $ 1,319,692     $ 270,964       21 %

 

General and administrative expenses incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2018 were $1,590,656, an increase of $270,964 as compared to $1,319,692 incurred for prior year period. The increased general and administrative expenses for the current year period resulted principally from increased expenses related to compensation and related personnel costs of $47,891, $10,227 in stock based compensation, $202,638 of outside professional services, and $25,519 of other operating costs, partially offset by decreases of $5,311 in facility related costs and $10,000 in board related costs.

 

The increased compensation and related personnel costs expense in the three months year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, resulted from higher salary and benefit expense related to the hiring of additional personnel.

 

The stock-based compensation expense classified as general and administrative expense, which includes stock options granted to both employees and non-employees, of $233,962 in the three months ended June 30, 2018, increased $10,227 as compared to the prior year period, principally due to the recognition of a full three months of expense in the current year period as compared to partial period expense recognized for stock options granted in the prior year after June 30, 2017, and the recognition of expense related to additional stock options awarded in January 2018, partially offset by the absence of stock-based compensation expense related to forfeited stock options of former members of the board of directors who resigned in February 2018, and lower stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees, resulting principally from lower stock option vesting date fair value corresponding to lower share price of the underlying common stock of the Company on such vesting dates in the current year period as compared to the prior year period;

 

The outside professional services expense of $906,963 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, increased by $202,638, principally resulting from higher expenses of: $109,292 related to regulatory matters, $74,538 related to intellectual property matters, and $81,503 associated with professional fees for information technology, legal, accounting, tax, valuations, auditing, SEC reporting, and public company requirements; offset by lower expenses of: $42,694 related to investor and public relations.

 

Additionally, outside professional services decreased $20,000 with respect to consulting agreements with entities and /or individuals affiliated with certain of our officers and /or former directors, including, $75,000 incurred for each of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 under the HCP/Advisors consulting agreement; and, $0 and $20,000 incurred in three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to the previous (expired) HCFP/Strategy Advisors consulting agreement. See “Contractual Obligations” herein below for further details on these related party agreements.

 

The decrease in facility related costs of $5,311 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, principally resulted from decreased rent expense associated with our corporate offices, resulting from a previous reduction of the leased office space during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The board of director related costs represent fees paid for the services of non-executive members, paid on a quarterly basis, with the decrease in such fees resulting from the resignation of members in February 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, there were four non-executive members as compared to five in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The increase in other operating expenses of $25,519 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, principally resulted from higher travel and related costs and director and officers’ insurance premiums.

Research and development expenses incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $1,148,129, an increase of $446,389 as compared to $701,740 incurred for the prior year period. The increase in research and development expenses principally resulted from the $272,553 patent license fee incurred with respect to the EsoCheck™ License Agreement, and increased expenses of: $44,757 related to compensation and related personnel costs and $39,363 related to stock-based compensation, and $89,716 of research and development outside professional service costs.

 

The increased compensation and related personnel costs expense of $44,757 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, resulted from higher salary expense related to additional personnel, and the increase stock-based compensation expense of $39,363, resulted from the recognition of expense related to additional stock options awarded in January 2018.

 

Under the EsoCheck™ License Agreement, as more fully discussed herein above, the Company incurred an expense of $272,553, recognized as a current period research and development expense on the May 12, 2018 execution date.

 

Our current research and development activities are focused principally on obtaining FDA clearance and initializing commercialization of the lead products in our pipeline, including PortIO™ and CarpX™, to commence preparing EsoCheck™ for FDA submission, along with advancing our DisappEAR™ product through its initial development phase. In this regard, the $79,058 decrease in outside professional services in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, resulted from current research and development activities focused principally on obtaining FDA clearance of PortIO™ and CarpX™, as compared to higher expenses incurred in the prior year period related to development activities associated with certain of our products, including PortIO™ and CarpX™, among other product candidates.

Interest Expense

 

The Company and Scopia Holdings LLC (“Scopia or the Lender”) entered into a Note and Security Purchase Agreement, wherein upon Scopia delivering to the Company $4.8 million in net cash proceeds on July 3, 2017, the Company issued to Scopia and its designees, a Senior Secured Note with an initial principal of $5.0 million (“Senior Secured Note”), and 2,660,000 Series S Warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The aggregate remaining unpaid principal balance of the Senior Secured Note, as discussed below, is due on June 30, 2019.

 

The $4,842,577 of cash proceeds, which were net of the Lender’s debt issuance costs, have been allocated to the Scopia Note and the Series S Warrants based on their respective relative fair value, resulting in an allocation of $1,408,125 to the Scopia Note and $3,434,452 to the Series S-Warrants, with the resulting difference of $3,591,875 between the Scopia Note initial principal amount and the allocated amount accounted for a debt discount amortized as interest expense over the term of the Scopia Note.

 

The Senior Secured Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 15.0%, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each calendar year, commencing December 30, 2017 (“15% interest expense”). The Company may elect, at its sole discretion, to defer payment of up to 50% of the semi-annual 15% interest expense due, with such deferred amount added to the outstanding interest-bearing principal balance of the Senior Secured Note. In this regard, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Senior Secured Note principal balance is $5,383,112 and $5,188,542, respectively, with each such principal amount comprised of the initial principal of $5.0 million and the deferred semi-annual interest.

 

The Senior Secured Note interest expense recognized includes both the 15% interest expense and the amortization of the debt discount, and amounted to $500,304, including $305,733 of amortized debt discount, in the three months ended June 30, 2018. There was no such interest expense in the prior year periods. The Senior Secured Note remaining unamortized debt discount is $2,632,807 as of June 30, 2018 and $3,244,274 as of December 31, 2017.

Modification Expense - Series W Warrants Exchange Offer - April 5, 2018 ’

 

On April 5, 2018, a total of 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants were issued-upon-exchange of 10,151,682 Series W Warrants, in an exchange offer transaction captioned the “Series W Warrants Offer-to-Exchange”. In this regard, pursuant to an offer-to-exchange dated February 20, 2018, as included in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018, wherein, the Company offered one Series Z Warrant issued-upon-exchange of two Series W Warrants. Such “Series W Warrants Offer-to-Exchange” commenced on February 20, 2018 and had April 2, 2018 expiration date, and after completion of the guaranteed delivery period, an April 5, 2018 close date - consequently referred to herein as the “April 5, 2018 Exchange Offer”.

 

The Series Z Warrants issued upon exchange of the Series W Warrants on April 5, 2018, upon their issuance, enabled the holder to immediately purchase one share of PAVM common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, with an expiry of April 30, 2024. The Series Z Warrant exercise price was initially $3.00 per share through May 31, 2018, and then $1.60 per share effective June 1, 2018, wherein, on May 15, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction to the Series Z Warrant exercise price to $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, upon completion of the period-of-notice to the then-current Series Z Warrant holders. See herein below for further information with respect to the modification expense recognized in connection with the Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment. The Series Z Warrant $1.60 exercise price is not subject-to further adjustment, unless by action of the PAVmed Inc board of directors, or the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. The Series Z Warrants are redeemable by the Company under certain conditions, as discussed above.

 

The April 5, 2018 Exchange Offer resulted in the recognition of a modification expense under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, wherein an exchange of warrants is deemed to be a modification of the initial warrant agreement by the replacement with a revised warrant agreement, requiring the incremental fair value, measured as the difference between the fair value immediately after the modification as compared to the fair value immediately before the modification, to the extent an increase, recognized as a modification expense. In this regard, the Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the Series W Warrants resulted in the recognition of a modification expense of $766,456, with a corresponding increase to addition paid-in capital, with such modification expense resulting from the difference in estimated fair values of the consideration given of $3,304,377 with respect to the 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the 10,151,682 Series W Warrants extinguished having an estimated fair value of $2,537,921.

 

The April 5, 2018 Exchange Offer estimated fair values of each of the Series Z Warrants and Series W Warrants noted above, were each computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock, and the respective warrants’ exercise price.

Modification Expense - Series Z Warrant Agreement

 

The Series Z Warrant exercise price was initially $3.00 per share through May 31, 2018, and then $1.60 per share effective June 1, 2018, wherein, on May 15, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction to the Series Z Warrant exercise price to $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, upon completion of the period-of-notice to the then-current Series Z Warrant holders. The Series Z Warrant $1.60 exercise price is not subject-to further adjustment, unless by action of the PAVmed Inc board of directors, or the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock.

 

The Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment resulted in the recognition of a modification expense under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, wherein the incremental fair value is measured as the difference between the fair value immediately after the modification as compared to the fair value immediately before the modification, with such incremental fair value, to the extent an increase, recognized as a modification expense. In this regard, on the June 1, 2018 effective date of the Series Z Warrant adjusted exercise price, a modification expense of $1,140,995 was recognized, with a corresponding increase to addition paid-in capital.

 

Additionally, the Series Z Warrants issued in both the March 15, 2018 Exchange Offer and the April 5, 2018 Exchange Offer, each as discussed above, were issued under the (original) “Series Z Warrant Agreement”. The Company’s board of directors approved Amendment No. 1 to the original Series Z Warrant Agreement, resulting in the “Amended and Restated Series Z Warrant Agreement”, dated June 8, 2018, referred to as the Amended Series Z Warrant Agreement. The principal provisions of such Amendment No. 1, include among other items: to provide for a “late delivery fee” for shares of common stock of the Company delivered outside of the “standard delivery period”, including delivery of shares upon Series Z Warrant exercise for open market or other purchase transactions - i.e. “buy-in fee”, with each such payment, if any, in addition to and not in lieu of delivery of shares of common stock of the Company, and, to include a standard provision (“plain vanilla”), wherein in the event the Company engages in a “Fundamental Transaction”, as defined, the Series Z Warrant may participate pari passu with common stockholders in the consideration paid by an acquiror for the Company’s shares, with such payment, if any, made by the acquiring entity and not paid by the Company as issuer.

 

The Series Z Warrant Agreement No. 1, was evaluated under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, as discussed above, but did not result in the recognition of a modification expense as there was no incremental increase in the estimated fair value as described above.

 

The June 1, 2018 and June 8, 2018 estimated fair values, as discussed above, of the Series Z Warrants, were computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock, and the respective warrants’ exercise price.

The Series A Preferred Stock Units were issued in a private placement in an initial closing on January 26, 2017, and subsequent closings on January 31, 2017 and March 8, 2017, resulting in a total of 422,838 Series A Preferred Stock Units issued for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million, after payment of placement agent fees and closing costs.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock Unit was comprised of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one Series A Warrant, with each immediately separable upon their issuance, and became convertible and exercisable, respectively, on May 21, 2017 upon stockholder approval of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, with such approval obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d).

 

At the election of their respective holder, a share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of common stock of the Company at a prescribed common stock exchange factor, and, a Series A Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company, or may be exchanged for four Series X Warrants, with each such Series X Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company.

 

The Series A Warrant and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option were each determined to be a derivative liability under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging (ASC 815), as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock common stock exchange factor denominator and the Series A Warrant exercise price are each subject to potential adjustment resulting from future financing transactions, under certain conditions, along with certain other provisions which may result in required or potential full or partial cash settlement. Through the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer discussed herein below, the respective Series A Warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability were each classified as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and each were initially measured at estimated fair value at the time of issuance and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date, with changes in estimated fair value recognized as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

See our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 13, Preferred Stock, further information regarding the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a further discussion of the Series A Warrants.

As discussed below, each of the Series A Warrants and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability were fully extinguished as of the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, and accordingly, there was no recognition of income or expense related to the change in fair value of such derivative liabilities in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Previously, the “Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer” was completed on March 15, 2018, with such exchange offer offered to and accepted by all holders of both the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants, and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Warrants, was as follows: one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged for two shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and one Series A Warrant exchanged for five Series Z Warrants; and one share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged for 1.33 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and one Series A-1 Warrant exchanged for five Series Z Warrants - referred to as the “Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer” and the “March 15, 2018 Exchange Date”.

 

On the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date: (i) a total of 975,568 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued, including 499,334 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued-upon-exchange of 249,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 476,234 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued-upon-exchange of 357,259 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock; and, (ii) a total of 2,739,190 Series Z Warrants were issued, including 1,340,005 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of 268,001 Series A Warrants and 1,399,185 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of 279,837 Series A-1 Warrants.

Change in Fair Value of Series A Warrants and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Conversion Option Derivative Liabilities - Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

 

As noted above, a total of 422,838 each of Series A Warrants and shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were issued in the Series A Preferred Stock Unit private placement in the three months ended March 31, 2017, and such amounts were also issued and outstanding at June 30, 2017.

 

The reconciliation of each of the Series A Warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability for the periods noted are as follows:

 

          Series A  
        Convertible  
    Series A     Preferred Stock  
Derivative Liability - June 30, 2017   Warrants     Conversion Option  
Balance at March 31, 2017   $ 3,264,309     $ 997,898  
Change in fair value     (748,423 )     (283,302 )
Balance at June 30, 2017   $ 2,515,886     $ 714,596  

 

As noted above, the Series A Warrants derivative liability and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability were each initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date, with changes in estimated fair value recognized as other income or expense. In the three months ended June 30, 2017, the change in estimated fair value resulted in the recognition of income of $748,423 with respect to the Series A Warrant derivative liability and income of $283,302 with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Conversion Option derivative liability, with a corresponding decrease in each such derivative liability.

 

The initial issue date and subsequent recurring reporting period date estimated fair value of each of the Series A Warrants derivative liability and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability, were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs to take into account the probabilities of certain events occurring over their respective life, including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price and the likelihood and timing of future dilutive transactions, as applicable, using the following assumptions as of the dates indicated:

General and administrative expense

 

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017:

 

    Six Months     Six Months

Total general and administrative expenses   $ 2,971,823     $ 2,819,244     $ 152,579       5 %

 

General and administrative expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were $2,971,823, an increase of $152,579 as compared to $2,819,244 incurred for prior year period. The increased general and administrative expenses for the current year period is principally due to increased expenses related to compensation and related personnel costs of $52,471, outside professional services of $83,344, and $56,481 in other operating costs, partially offset by decreases of $12,831 in stock based compensation, $16,886 in facility related costs, and $10,000 in board related costs.

 

The increased compensation and related personnel costs expense in the six months year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, resulted from higher salary and benefit expense related to the hiring of additional personnel.

 

The stock-based compensation expense classified as general and administrative expense, which includes stock options granted to both employees and non-employees, of $453,356 in the six months ended June 30, 2018, decreased $12,831 as compared to the prior year period, principally resulting from the recognition in the prior year period of $51,389 related to the March 31, 2017 modifications to the stock option grant previously awarded to our former CFO, and by lower stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to non-employees, resulting principally from lower stock option vesting date fair value corresponding to lower share price of the underlying common stock of the Company on such vesting dates in the current year period as compared to the prior year period; partially offset by higher stock based compensation expense resulting from the recognition of six months of expense in the current year period as compared to partial period expense recognized for stock options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2017, and the recognition of expense related to additional stock options awarded in January 2018.

 

The outside professional services expense of $1,591,782 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, increased by $83,344, principally resulting from higher expenses of: $157,883 related to regulatory matters, $129,535 related to intellectual property matters and $68,040 associated with professional fees for information technology, legal, accounting, tax, valuations, auditing, SEC reporting, and public company requirements; offset by lower expenses of: $192,114 related to investor and public relations.

 

Additionally, outside professional services decreased $80,000 with respect to consulting agreements with entities and /or individuals affiliated with certain of our officers and /or former directors, including, $150,000 incurred for each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 under the HCP/Advisors consulting agreement; and, $0 and $80,000 incurred in six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to the previous (expired) HCFP/Strategy Advisors consulting agreement - see “Contractual Obligations” herein below for further details on these related party agreements.

 

The decrease in facility related costs of $16,886 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, principally resulted from decreased rent expense associated with our corporate offices, resulting from a previous reduction of the leased office space during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The board of director related costs represent fees paid for the services of non-executive members, paid on a quarterly basis, with the decrease in such fees resulting from the resignation of members in February 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were five non-executive members in the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and March 31, 2018, while there were four such members in the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

 

The increase in other operating expenses of $56,481 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, principally resulted from higher travel and related costs and director and officer insurance premiums.

Research and development expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2018 totaled $1,710,664, an increase of $352,211 as compared to $1,358,453 incurred for the prior year period. The increase in research and development expenses principally resulted from the $272,553 patent license fee incurred with respect to the EsoCheck™ License Agreement, and increased expenses of: $97,689 related to compensation and related personnel costs and $61,027 related to stock-based compensation, partially offset by $79,058 of research and development outside professional service costs.

 

The increased compensation and related personnel costs expense of $97,689 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, resulted from higher salary expense related to additional personnel, and the increase stock-based compensation expense of $61,027, resulted from the recognition of expense related to additional stock options awarded in January 2018.

 

Under the EsoCheck™ License Agreement, as more fully discussed herein above, the Company incurred an expense of $272,553, recognized as a current period research and development expense on the May 12, 2018 execution date.

 

Our current research and development activities are focused principally on obtaining FDA clearance and initializing commercialization of the lead products in our pipeline, including PortIO™ and CarpX™, to commence preparing EsoCheck™ for FDA submission, along with advancing our DisappEAR™ and NextFlo TM products through its initial development phase. In this regard, the $79,058 decrease in outside professional services in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior year period, resulted from current research and development activities focused principally on obtaining FDA clearance of PortIO™ and CarpX™, as compared to higher expenses incurred in the prior year period related to development activities associated with certain of our products, including PortIO™ and CarpX™, among other product candidates.

Interest Expense

 

The Company and Scopia Holdings LLC (“Scopia or the Lender”) entered into a Note and Security Purchase Agreement, wherein upon Scopia delivering to the Company $4.8 million in net cash proceeds on July 3, 2017, the Company issued to Scopia and its designees, a Senior Secured Note with an initial principal of $5.0 million (“Senior Secured Note”), and 2,660,000 Series S Warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The aggregate remaining unpaid principal balance of the Senior Secured Note, as discussed below, is due on June 30, 2019.

 

The $4,842,577 of cash proceeds, which were net of the Lender’s debt issuance costs, have been allocated to the Scopia Note and the Series S Warrants based on their respective relative fair value, resulting in an allocation of $1,408,125 to the Scopia Note and $3,434,452 to the Series S-Warrants, with the resulting difference of $3,591,875 between the Scopia Note initial principal amount and the allocated amount accounted for a debt discount amortized as interest expense over the term of the Scopia Note.

 

The Senior Secured Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 15.0%, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each calendar year, commencing December 30, 2017 (“15% interest expense”). The Company may elect, at its sole discretion, to defer payment of up to 50% of the semi-annual 15% interest expense due, with such deferred amount added to the outstanding interest-bearing principal balance of the Senior Secured Note. In this regard, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Senior Secured Note principal balance is $5,383,112 and $5,188,542, respectively, with each such principal amount comprised of the initial principal of $5.0 million and the deferred semi-annual interest.

 

The Senior Secured Note interest expense recognized includes both the 15% interest expense and the amortization of the debt discount, and amounted to $1,000,608, including $611,467 of amortized debt discount, in the six months ended June 30, 2018. There was no such interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The Senior Secured Note remaining unamortized debt discount is $2,632,807 as of June 30, 2018 and $3,244,274 as of December 31, 2017.

Overview - “Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer” March 15, 2018

- Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series Z Warrants

 

On March 15, 2018, the “Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer” was completed, with such exchange offer made to and accepted by all holders of both the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants, and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Warrants, was as follows: one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged for two shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and one Series A Warrant exchanged for five Series Z Warrants; and one share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock exchanged for 1.33 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and one Series A-1 Warrant exchanged for five Series Z Warrants - referred to as the “Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer” and the “March 15, 2018 Exchange Date”.

 

On the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date: (i) a total of 975,568 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were issued, including 499,334 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued-upon-exchange of 249,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 476,234 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued-upon-exchange of 357,259 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock; and, (ii) a total of 2,739,190 Series Z Warrants were issued, including 1,340,005 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of 268,001 Series A Warrants and 1,399,185 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of 279,837 Series A-1 Warrants.

Additionally, each of the Series A Warrants and the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability were fully extinguished as of the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer.

 

Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer - March 15, 2018

- Modification Expense - Series Z Warrants Issued Upon Exchange of Series A-1 Warrants

 

The “Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of Series A-1 Warrants” portion of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, as discussed above, resulted in the recognition of a modification expense under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, wherein an exchange of warrants is deemed to be a modification of the initial warrant agreement by the replacement with a revised warrant agreement, requiring the incremental fair value, measured as the difference between the fair value immediately after the modification as compared to the fair value immediately before the modification, to the extent an increase, recognized as a modification expense. In this regard, the Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the Series A-1 Warrants resulted in the recognition of a modification expense of $349,796, with a corresponding increase to addition paid-in capital, with such expense resulting from the difference in estimated fair values of the consideration given of $895,478 with respect to the 1,399,185 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the 279,837 Series A-1 Warrants extinguished, with such Series A-1 Warrants exchanged having an estimated fair value of $545,682.

 

The March 15, 2018 Exchange Date estimated fair values the Series Z Warrants and the Series A-1 Warrants, were each computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock, and the respective warrants’ exercise price.

Modification Expense - Series W Warrants Exchange Offer - April 5, 2018’

 

A total of 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants were issued-upon-exchange of 10,151,682 Series W Warrants, in an exchange offer transaction referred to as the “Series W Warrants Exchange Offer” and the “April 5, 2018 Exchange Date”. In this regard, pursuant to an offer-to-exchange dated February 20, 2018, as included in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC on February 20, 2018, wherein, the Company offered one Series Z Warrant issued-upon-exchange of two Series W Warrants. Such Series W Warrants Exchange Offer commenced on February 20, 2018 and had April 2, 2018 expiration date, and after completion of the guaranteed delivery period, an April 5, 2018 close date.

 

The Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the Series W Warrants on the April 5, 2018 Exchange Date, upon their issuance, enabled the holder to immediately purchase one share of PAVM common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, with an expiry of April 30, 2024. The Series Z Warrant exercise price was initially $3.00 per share through May 31, 2018, and then $1.60 per share effective June 1, 2018, wherein, on May 15, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction to the Series Z Warrant exercise price to $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, upon completion of the period-of-notice to the then-current Series Z Warrant holders. See herein below for further information with respect to the modification expense recognized in connection with the Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment. The Series Z Warrant $1.60 exercise price is not subject-to further adjustment, unless by action of the PAVmed Inc board of directors, or the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. The Series Z Warrants are redeemable by the Company under certain conditions, as discussed above.

 

On the April 5, 2018 Exchange Date, the Series W Warrants Exchange Offer resulted in the recognition of a modification expense under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, wherein an exchange of warrants is deemed to be a modification of the initial warrant agreement by the replacement with a revised warrant agreement, requiring the incremental fair value, measured as the difference between the fair value immediately after the modification as compared to the fair value immediately before the modification, to the extent an increase, recognized as a modification expense. In this regard, the Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the Series W Warrants resulted in the recognition of a modification expense of $766,456, with a corresponding increase to addition paid-in capital, with such modification expense resulting from the difference in estimated fair values of the consideration given of $3,304,377 with respect to the 5,075,849 Series Z Warrants issued-upon-exchange of the 10,151,682 Series W Warrants extinguished having an estimated fair value of $2,537,921.

 

The April 5, 2018 Exchange Date estimated fair values of each of the Series Z Warrants and Series W Warrants noted above, were each computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock, and the respective warrants’ exercise price.

Modification Expense - Series Z Warrant Agreement

 

The Series Z Warrant exercise price was initially $3.00 per share through May 31, 2018, and then $1.60 per share effective June 1, 2018, wherein, on May 15, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved a reduction to the Series Z Warrant exercise price to $1.60 per share, effective June 1, 2018, upon completion of the period-of-notice to the then-current Series Z Warrant holders. The Series Z Warrant $1.60 exercise price is not subject-to further adjustment, unless by action of the PAVmed Inc board of directors, or the effect of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock.

 

The Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment resulted in the recognition of a modification expense under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, wherein the incremental fair value is measured as the difference between the fair value immediately after the modification as compared to the fair value immediately before the modification, with such incremental fair value, to the extent an increase, recognized as a modification expense. In this regard, on the June 1, 2018 effective date of the Series Z Warrant adjusted exercise price, a modification expense of $1,140,995 was recognized, with a corresponding increase to addition paid-in capital.

 

Additionally, the Series Z Warrants issued in both the March 15, 2018 Exchange Offer and the April 5, 2018 Exchange Offer, each as discussed above, were issued under the (original) “Series Z Warrant Agreement”. The Company’s board of directors approved Amendment No. 1 to the original Series Z Warrant Agreement, resulting in the “Amended and Restated Series Z Warrant Agreement”, dated June 8, 2018, referred to as the Amended Series Z Warrant Agreement. The principal provisions of such Amendment No. 1, include among other items: to provide for a “late delivery fee” for shares issued outside of the “standard delivery period”, including delivery of shares upon Series Z Warrant exercise for open market or other purchase transactions - i.e. “buy-in fee”, with each such payment, if any, in addition to and not in lieu of delivery of shares, and, to provide for a standard provision (“plain vanilla”) in the event the Company engages in a “Fundamental Transaction”, as defined, wherein the Series Z Warrant may participate pari passu with common stockholders in the consideration paid by an acquiror for the Company’s shares, with such payment, if any, made by the acquiring entity and not paid by the Company as issuer.

 

The Series Z Warrant Agreement No. 1, was evaluated under the analogous guidance of FASB ASC 718 with respect to stock option modification, as discussed above, but did not result in the recognition of a modification expense as there was no incremental increase in the estimated fair value as described above.

 

The June 1, 2018 and June 8, 2018 estimated fair values, as discussed above, of the Series Z Warrants, were computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock, and the respective warrants’ exercise price.

Loss on Series A Preferred Stock Units Issued in a Private Placement

 

The Series A Preferred Stock Units were issued in a private placement in an initial closing on January 26, 2017, and subsequent closings on January 31, 2017 and March 8, 2017, resulting in a total of 422,838 Series A Preferred Stock Units issued for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million, after payment of placement agent fees and closing costs. The Series A Preferred Stock Unit was comprised of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one Series A Warrant, with each immediately separable upon their issuance, and became convertible and exercisable, respectively, on May 21, 2017 upon stockholder approval of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, with such approval obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d).

 

At the election of their respective holder, a share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into a number of shares of common stock of the Company at a prescribed common stock exchange factor, and, a Series A Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company, or may be exchanged for four Series X Warrants, with each such Series X Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock of the Company.

 

The Series A Warrant and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option were each determined to be a derivative liability under FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging (ASC 815), as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock common stock exchange factor denominator and the Series A Warrant exercise price are each subject to potential adjustment resulting from future financing transactions, under certain conditions, along with certain other provisions which may result in required or potential full or partial cash settlement. Through the March 15, 2018 Exchange Date of the Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer discussed herein below, the respective Series A Warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability were each classified as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and each were initially measured at estimated fair value at the time of issuance and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date, with changes in estimated fair value recognized as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock Units resulted in the recognition of a loss of $3,124,285, resulting from the aggregate initial fair value of each of the Series A Warrant and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability, being in excess of the gross proceeds of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, with such excess amounting to $2,735,657, recognized as a current period expense, along with offering costs of $388,628, which were also recognized as a current period expense, summarized as follows:

 

    Series A
Preferred
Stock Units
Issue Dates
(Aggregate)
 
Series A Preferred Stock Units issuance gross proceeds   $ 2,537,012  
Less: Series A Warrants derivative liability initial fair value     (4,050,706 )
Less: Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability initial fair value     (1,221,963 )
Excess of initial fair value of derivative liabilities over gross proceeds     (2,735,657 )
Offering costs of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock Units     (388,628 )
Loss on issuance of Series A Preferred Stock Units   $ (3,124,285 )

 

The initial issue date estimated fair value of each of the Series A Warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability, as discussed above, were each estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price and probabilities associated with the likelihood and timing of future dilutive transactions.

 

See our consolidated financial statements Note 11, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements , for further information with respect to recurring reporting period date and non-recurring issue-date and /or date-of-occurrence estimated fair values, including with respect to the initial issue date estimated fair values of each of the Series A Warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The factors described above resulted in net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5,128,963 and $1,040,978 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $8,543,663 and $5,337,506 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management provides certain non-GAAP financial measures (“NGFM”) of the Company’s financial results, including such amounts captioned: “net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization” or “EBITDA”, and “non-GAAP Adjusted Loss”, as presented herein below. Importantly, we note the NGFM measures captioned “EBITDA” and “non-GAAP Adjusted Loss” are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP, and as such, they are not a substitute for, considered superior to, considered separately from, nor as an alternative to, U.S. GAAP and /or the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

 

Such NGFM are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency of information used by us in our financial performance analysis and operational decision-making. Additionally, we believe these NGFM provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders, and other readers of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in making comparisons to our historical financial results, and analyzing the underlying financial results of our operations. The NGFM are provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current financial results and to provide further information to enhance the comparability of results between the current year period and the prior year period.

 

We believe the NGFM provide useful information by isolating certain expenses, gains, and losses, which are not necessarily indicative of our operating financial results and business outlook. In this regard, the presentation of the NGFM herein below, is to help the reader of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to understand the effects of the non-cash impact on our (U.S. GAAP) unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of: the loss recognized with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock Units issued in a private placement in the three months ended March 31, 2017; the change in fair value of each of the respective Series A Warrant and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability; the expense recognized resulting from the March 15, 2018 Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer, the expense recognized resulting from the April 5, 2018 Series W Warrant Exchange Offer, and the June 1, 2018 Series Z Warrant exercise price adjustment modification expense, each as discussed herein above.

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, wherein, current tax liabilities or receivables are recognized for the amount of taxes estimated to be payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis used for income tax purposes, along with net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards.

 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax 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 of the change in the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period of the enacted change in tax rate. See herein below for a discussion of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017”, which resulted in a change to future years’ statutory corporate tax rate applicable to taxable income. Changes in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes.

 

As required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes”, (“ASC 740), a “more-likely-than-not” criterion is applied when assessing the estimated realization of deferred tax assets through their utilization to reduce future taxable income, or with respect to a deferred tax asset for tax credit carryforward, to reduce future tax expense. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, when the assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not, the full or partial amount of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. Accordingly, we have evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the estimated realizability of our net deferred tax assets, and based on our history of operating losses, we have concluded it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and therefore have recognized a valuation allowance reserve equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Public Law No. 115-97) was enacted (“Tax Cut and Jobs Act”). The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is a comprehensive revision to federal tax law which makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

 

In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for the income tax effects of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. SAB 118 directs taxpayers to consider the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act as “provisional” when the Company does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed, including computations, to finalize the accounting for the changes resulting from the Tax Act of 2017. Companies are provided a measurement period of up to one year to obtain, prepare, and analyze information necessary to finalize the accounting for provisional amounts or amounts that cannot be estimated as of December 31, 2017. With regards to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act impact on our tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017, we have recognized the provisional impact of the revaluation of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities to 21% from 35%, which was fully offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance applied to the net deferred tax assets.

Overview - Financing

 

Since our inception in June 2014, we have financed our operations principally through issuances of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, and debt. Prior to our April 2016 IPO, we raised approximately $2.1 million of net cash proceeds from private offerings of our common stock and warrants. Our April 2016 IPO resulted in approximately $4.2 million of net cash proceeds. During 2017, we raised a total of approximately $7.5 million of net cash proceeds from: a Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia Holdings LLC (“Scopia” or “the Lender”), including the issuance of a $5.0 million Senior Secured Note and Series S Warrants; the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement; and the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, each as summarized herein below. In January 2018, we raised approximately $4.3 million of net cash proceeds in an underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock under a previously filed effective shelf registration statement on SEC Form S-3 (File No. 333-220549), as summarized below, and in the June 12, 2018 Equity Subscription Rights Offering, we raised approximately $9.2 million of net cash proceeds, with such equity subscription rights offering conducted under an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-222581), declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2018, as summarized below.

The Company completed its previously announced “June 12, 2018 Equity Subscription Rights Offering” on the June 7, 2018 expiration date of the equity subscription period, with such transaction having a June 12, 2018 close date. The June 12, 2018 Equity Subscription Rights Offering was completed under a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-222581), declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2018.

 

The June 12, 2018 Equity Subscription Rights Offering involved the Company distributing one non-transferable equity subscription for each of the 17,509,654 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, as of the record date of May 21, 2018, subject-to the acceptance by the Company of a maximum of 9,000,000 fully-paid equity subscriptions tendered as of the June 7, 2018 expiration date of the equity subscription period. The equity subscription provided for the purchase of a common stock unit at a $1.15 per unit, with each such unit comprised of one share of common stock of the Company and one Series Z Warrant, with such common stock unit immediately separated upon issue into its underlying components.

 

The June 12, 2018 Equity Subscription Rights Offering resulted in approximately $10.4 million of gross cash proceeds, before approximately $1.0 million of commissions and fees to the dealer-managers, and approximately $0.2 million of offering costs incurred by the Company, upon the issue on June 12, 2018 of 9.0 million common stock units, comprised of one share of common stock of the Company and one Series Z Warrant, as noted above. See our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 14, Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants , for a further discussion of the Series Z Warrants.

 

Issue of Common Stock - Underwritten Public Offering - January 2018

 

In January 2018, the Company conducted an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to its previously filed and effective shelf registration statement on SEC Form S-3 (File No. 333-220549), declared effective October 6, 2017, along with a corresponding prospectus supplement dated January 19, 2018.

We entered into a Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia, under which, upon Scopia delivering to the Company $4.8 million in net cash proceeds, we issued to Scopia and its designees, a Senior Secured Note with an initial principal amount of $5.0 million (“Senior Secured Note”), and 2,660,000 Series S Warrants to purchase a corresponding number of shares of our common stock.

In each reporting period (including interim periods), an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

 

We are an early stage and emerging growth company and have not generated any revenues to date. As such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. Since inception, we have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. We do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future until such time, if at all, as we complete the development process of our products, including regulatory approvals and clearances, and thereafter begin to commercialize and achieve substantial acceptance in the marketplace for the first of a series of products in its medical device portfolio, which is not expected to occur in the near future, if at all.

 

We incurred a net loss attributable to PAVmed Inc. common stockholders of $8,543,663 and had net cash flows used in operating activities of $3,902,149 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,524,851, working capital of $3,876,440, with such working capital inclusive of the $5,383,112 principal balance of debt under the Sr Secured Note as of June 30, 2018, which is classified as a current liability in the accompanying June 30, 2018 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a result of its maturity date of June 30, 2019.

 

We anticipate incurring operating losses and do not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities, if any, for the next several years as we complete the development of our products, file for and request regulatory approvals and clearances of such products, and begin to commercially market such products. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

Our ability to fund our operations is dependent upon management’s plans, which include raising additional capital, refinance our debt upon maturity, obtaining regulatory approvals for our products currently under development, commercializing and generating revenues from our products currently under development, and continuing to control expenses. However, there is no assurance we will be successful in these efforts.

 

A failure to raise sufficient capital, refinance our debt upon maturity, obtain regulatory approvals and clearances of our products, generate sufficient product revenues, or control expenditures, among other factors, will adversely impact our ability to meet our financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve our intended business objectives, and therefore raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity, along with the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the corresponding periods. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial notes, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expenditures are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Research and development costs include costs related to our various outside professional service providers and suppliers, engineering studies, supplies, outsourced testing and consulting as well as rental costs for access to certain facilities at one of our contract research suppliers.

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a transaction measurement date. The FASB ASC 820 three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, as follows:

 

  Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets which are not active, or other inputs observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
     
  Level 3 Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if those instruments or any embedded components of those instruments potentially qualify as derivatives that need to be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The accounting for warrants issued to purchase shares of common stock of the Company is based on the specific terms of the respective warrant agreement, and are generally classified as equity, but may be classified as a derivative liability if the warrant agreement provides required or potential full or partial cash settlement. A warrant classified as a derivative liability, or a bifurcated embedded conversion or settlement option classified as a derivative liability, is initially measured at its issue-date fair value, with such fair value subsequently adjusted at each reporting period, with the resulting fair value adjustment recognized as other income or expense. If upon the occurrence of an event resulting in the warrant liability or the embedded derivative liability being subsequently classified as equity, or the exercise of the warrant or the conversion option, the fair value of the derivative liability will be adjusted on such date-of-occurrence, with such date-of-occurrence fair value adjustment recognized as other income or expense, and then the derivative liability will be derecognized at such date-of-occurrence fair value.

 

The Series A Warrant and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option were each determined to be a derivative liability under FASB ASC 815, as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock common stock exchange factor denominator and the Series A Warrant exercise price are each subject to potential adjustment resulting from future financing transactions, under certain conditions, along with certain other provisions which may result in required or potential full or partial cash settlement. The respective Series A Warrants and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option derivative liability are each classified as a current liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, and each were initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance and are subsequently remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, with each such estimated fair values using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, utilizing the Company’s common stock price and certain Level 3 inputs to take into account the probabilities of certain events occurring over their respective life.

 

In addition to the recurring estimated fair value measurements, the issue-date and /or date -of-occurrence non-recurring estimated fair value measurements include: the Senior Secured Note and Series S Warrants issued in connection with the Note and Security Purchase Agreement between the Company and Scopia Holdings LLC; the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Warrants issued in the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement; the Series A-1 Warrants modification resulting from the Series A-1 Amendment No.1, the November 17, 2017 Series A Exchange Offer, and the March 15, 2018 Series A and Series A-1 Exchange Offer - with each utilizing the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs, as discussed below, in the development of discounted cash flow analyses and /or Black-Scholes valuation models.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates (continued)

 

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

The recurring and non-recurring estimated fair value measurements are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models, including the Company’s common stock price, and certain Level 3 inputs, including, the assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price; the Company’s dividend yield; the likelihood and timing of future dilutive transactions, as applicable, along with the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company issues stock-based awards to employees, members of its board of directors, and non-employees. Stock-based awards to employees and members of its board of directors are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, and stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

 

The Company measures the compensation expense of stock-based awards granted to employees and members of its board of directors using the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards on straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective stock option award.

 

The Company measures the expense of stock-based awards granted to non-employees on a vesting date basis, fixing the fair value of vested non-employee stock options as of their respective vesting date, The fair value of vested non-employee stock options is not subject-to-change at subsequent reporting dates. The estimated fair value of the unvested non-employee stock options are remeasured to then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The expense of non-employee stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective non-employee stock option award.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, wherein, current tax liabilities or receivables are recognized for the amount of taxes estimated to be payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis used for income tax purposes, along with net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards.

 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax 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 of the change in the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period of the enacted change in tax rate. See herein below for a discussion of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017”, which resulted in a change to future years’ statutory corporate tax rate applicable to taxable income. Changes in deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes.

 

As required by FASB ASC 740, a “more-likely-than-not” criterion is applied when assessing the estimated realization of deferred tax assets through their utilization to reduce future taxable income, or with respect to a deferred tax asset for tax credit carryforward, to reduce future tax expense. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, when the assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not, the full or partial amount of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. Accordingly, we have evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the estimated realizability of our net deferred tax assets, and based on our history of operating losses, we have concluded it is more-likely-than-not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and therefore have recognized a valuation allowance reserve equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Public Law No. 115-97) was enacted (“Tax Cut and Jobs Act”). The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is a comprehensive revision to federal tax law which makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

 

In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for the income tax effects of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. SAB 118 directs taxpayers to consider the impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act as “provisional” when the Company does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed, including computations, to finalize the accounting for the changes resulting from the Tax Act of 2017. Companies are provided a measurement period of up to one year to obtain, prepare, and analyze information necessary to finalize the accounting for provisional amounts or amounts that cannot be estimated as of December 31, 2017. With regards to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act impact on our tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017, we have recognized the provisional impact of the revaluation of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities to 21% from 35%, which was fully offset by a corresponding change in the valuation allowance applied to the net deferred tax assets.

Going Concern

 

The provisions of FASB ASC Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (ASC 205-40) requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements are issued. In each reporting period (including interim periods), an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. We have incorporated specific disclosures within our financial statements stating there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. See Liquidity and Capital Resources above for a discussion of our liquidity and going concern status.

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Part I - Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down-Round Features, and Part II - Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Principally, ASU 2017-11 amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (EPS) data will adjust their basic EPS calculation for the effect of the down-round feature when triggered (i.e., when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down-round feature) and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. Additionally, ASU 2017-11 also addresses “navigational concerns” within the FASB ASC related to an indefinite deferral available to private companies with mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and certain noncontrolling interests, which has resulted in the existence of significant “pending content” in the ASC. The FASB decided to reclassify the indefinite deferral as a scope exception, which does not have an accounting effect. The guidance of ASU 2017-11 is effective for public business entities, as defined in the ASC Master Glossary, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and for all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or have not been made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting . In ASU 2017-09, the FASB provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of stock-based compensation arrangements require the application of “modification accounting” under ASC 718. Generally, ASC 718 modification accounting is not applicable if the stock-based arrangement immediately before and after the modification has the same fair value, vesting conditions, and balance sheet classification. The guidance of ASU 2017-09 is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities, as defined in the ASC Master Glossary, for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2017, and it did not have an effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, which amends the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (disposals) of assets or businesses. The objective of ASU 2017-01 is to narrow the definition of what qualifies as a business under Topic 805 and to provide guidance for streamlining the analysis required to assess whether a transaction involves the acquisition (disposal) of a business. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to assess when a set of assets and processes do not qualify as a business under Topic 805, reducing the number of transactions that need to be considered as possible business acquisitions. ASU 2017-01 also narrows the definition of output under Topic 805 to make it consistent with the description of outputs under Topic 606. The guidance of ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. The adoption of this guidance as of January 1, 2018 did not have an effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates (continued)

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which amended the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC 230) on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments. The primary purpose of ASU 2016-15 is to reduce the diversity in practice which has resulted from a lack of consistent principles on this topic. The amendments of ASU 2016-15 add or clarify guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The guidance of ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance as of January 1, 2018 did not have an effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and subsequently issued additional updates amending the guidance contained in Topic 606 (ASC 606), thereby affecting the guidance contained in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 and the subsequent ASC 606 updates will supersede and replace nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount equal to the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle, and in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). To date, since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue, as such, the provisions of ASC 606 have not impacted the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016-08”). The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. To date, since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue, as such, the provisions of ASC 606 have not impacted the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”). The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. To date, since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue, as such, the provisions of ASC 606 have not impacted the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model requiring a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater-than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods with those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

 

Note and Security Purchase Agreement - Senior Secured Note - Scopia Holdings LLC

 

Previously, we entered into a Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia Holdings LLC (“Scopia or the Lender”), upon Scopia delivering to the Company $4.8 million in net cash proceeds, we issued to Scopia and its designees, a Senior Secured Note and 2,660,000 Series S Warrants to purchase a corresponding number of shares of our common stock. The aggregate remaining unpaid principal balance of the Senior Secured Note is due on June 30, 2019.

 

The Senior Secured Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 15.0%, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each calendar year, commencing December 30, 2017. The Company may elect, at its sole discretion, to defer payment of up to 50% of the semi-annual interest due, with the unpaid semi-annual interest payment added to the outstanding interest-bearing principal balance of the Senior Secured Note. In this regard, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Senior Secured Note principal balance is $5,383,112 and $5,188,542, respectively, with each such principal amount comprised of the initial principal of $5.0 million and the deferred semi-annual interest.

 

At our discretion, the aggregate principal balance of the Senior Secured Note and any earned and unpaid interest may be repaid at any time without penalty or premium. Additionally, under the Senior Secured Note, if at our discretion, we sell our PortIO™ Product - i.e. our implantable intraosseous vascular access device - then the Senior Secured Note holders’ may require us to repay the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Note, in whole or in part, together with any accrued interest thereon, from the net cash proceeds of such PortIO™ Product sale, provided such principal and interest repayment is limited to the amount of the net cash proceeds from such PortIO™ Product sale.

 

The Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia contains various customary negative covenants of the Company including restrictions on the Company incurring any additional indebtedness or liens or declaring or paying any dividends, subject to certain exceptions provided for in the Note and Security Purchase Agreement with Scopia, while any amount under the Senior Secured Note remains outstanding.

 

Payment of all amounts due and payable under the Senior Secured Note are guaranteed by the Company, and the obligations under the Senior Secured Note are secured by all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of a Note and Guaranty Security Agreement. The Lender may transfer or assign all or any part of the Senior Secured Note to any person with the prior written consent of the Company, provided no consent shall be required from the Company for any transfer to an affiliate of the Lender, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in the Senior Secured Note.

HCP/Advisors LLC Management Services Agreement

 

Effective October 2015, the Company entered into a three-year management services agreement through October 2018 with HCP/Advisors LLC, an affiliate of a former director of the Company, wherein HCP/Advisors LLC is to provide the Company with certain management services, including without limitation, identifying potential corporate opportunities, general business development, corporate development, corporate governance, marketing strategy, strategic development and planning, coordination with service providers, and other advisory services as may be mutually agreed upon. Pursuant to such agreement with HCP/Advisors LLC, the Company paid HCP/Advisors LLC an initial first month’s fee of $35,000 commencing as of November 1, 2015, and thereafter, a monthly fee of $25,000 through October 31, 2018. We incurred an expense of $75,000 and $150,000 in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, included in “general and administrative expenses” in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

JOBS Act

 

We are an “emerging growth company” or EGC, as defined in the JOBS Act, and are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies who are not an ECG, including, but not limited to, only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy or information statements, and not being required to adopt certain new and revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to avail ourselves of the extended time for the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies who are not an ECG.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable SEC regulations.

 

Effect of Inflation and Changes in Prices

 

We do not expect inflation and changes in prices will have a material effect on our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018 have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We believe a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

If we fail to comply with our obligations in our intellectual property agreements, we could lose intellectual property rights that are important to our business.

 

We are a party to intellectual property arrangements, pursuant to which we license from third parties patents and other intellectual property important to our business. Such arrangements may impose various diligence, milestone, royalty, insurance and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations, any licensor may have the right to terminate such agreements or reacquire our interest in such licenses, in which event we may not be able to develop and market any product covered by such agreements and/or arrangements.

 

The risks described elsewhere pertaining to our intellectual property rights also apply to any intellectual property rights we may license, and any failure by us or any future licensor to obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce these rights could have a material adverse effect on our business.
