Sales
Sales decreased by $22,893, or 7.0%, to $303,113 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $326,006 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. U.S. sales increased by $35,094, or 13.1%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period last year; however, there were no international sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $57,987 reported for the same period last year resulting in a net decrease of
$22,893 in sales. U.S. units sold increased by 12.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period last year.
Cost of sales and gross margin percentage
Cost of sales decreased by $5,274, or 4.9%, to $102,353 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $107,627 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cost of sales was largely due to our sales
mix as our U.S. sales have a higher gross margin as compared to our international sales. Gross margin percentage was 66.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 67.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. We expect to
see improvement in our gross margin in the future as we are investing in equipment and tooling which will enable us to reduce labor in certain manufacturing processes and reduce material costs as well.

Sales decreased by $31,263, or 4.8%, to $624,518 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $655,781 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $31,263 net decrease was largely attributable to the increase in
U.S. sales of $26,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period last year, which were offset by the decrease of $57,987 in international sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period
last year. U.S. units sold increased by 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period last year. International sales were $58,045 and $116,032 for both the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cost of sales and gross margin percentage
Cost of sales increased by $24,359, or 12.1%, to $225,028 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $200,669 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of sales was mainly due to increased
production personnel labor and overhead costs applied to our cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period last year. Gross margin percentage was 64.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to
69.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We expect to see improvement in our gross margin in the future as we are investing in equipment and tooling which will enable us to reduce labor in certain manufacturing processes and reduce
material costs as well.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $87,393, or 195.7%, to $132,040 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $44,647 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 largely due to an increase in compensation and
related personnel costs due to an increase in headcount and additional marketing costs mainly associated with our FemVue social media campaign earlier this year.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses increased by $685,907, or 35.3%, to $2,629,293 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $1,943,386 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was largely due to
various additional costs associated with being a public company including an increase in salaries and related personnel costs due to an increase in headcount and an increase in facility and other allocated overhead costs mainly for additional
directors & officers insurance.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $17,929, or 5.9%, to $286,883 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $304,812 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to reduction of depreciation
expense associated with the Company’s fixed assets and amortization expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets.
Other income (expense)
Other income, net decreased by $788,750, or 96.9%, to $25,582 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $814,332 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 mainly due to the Small Business Administration approval
of our Paychex Protection Program loan forgiveness in June 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of liquidity
Since our inception through June 30, 2022, our operations have been financed primarily by net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and convertible preferred stock, indebtedness and, to a lesser extent,
product revenue. As of June 30, 2022, we had $19,116,419 of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $88,257,466.
On June 22, 2021, we closed on our IPO in which we issued and sold 2,650,000 shares of our authorized common stock. Net proceeds received, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and
legal expenses, were $31,613,500.
On July 1 2022, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper Sandler” or the “Sales Agent”) establishing an “at-the-market” facility, pursuant to which we may offer
and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $8,800,000 from time to time through the Sales Agent. As of August 10, 2022, no shares had been sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement.
Funding requirements
Based on our current operating plan, our current cash and cash equivalents are expected to be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations at least 12 months from the date of filing these financial statements. Our
estimate as to how long we expect the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, to be able to continue to fund our operations is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our
available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek
additional funds sooner than planned.
Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022 will not be sufficient to fund all of our product candidates through regulatory approval, and we anticipate needing to raise additional capital to complete the development and
commercialization of our product candidates. However, we can give no assurances that we will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support our operations, or if such funds will be available to us, that such additional financing will
be sufficient to meet our needs or be on terms acceptable to us. This risk may increase if economic and market conditions deteriorate. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when needed, we may need to terminate, significantly modify,
or delay the development of our product candidates, or we may need to obtain funds through collaborations or otherwise on terms that may require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates that we might otherwise seek to
develop or commercialize independently. If we are unable to raise adequate additional capital as and when required in the future, we could be forced to cease development activities and terminate our operations, and you could experience a
complete loss of your investment

Government Regulation
De Novo Classification
Medical device types that the FDA has not previously classified as Class I, II or III are automatically classified into Class III regardless of the level of risk they pose. The Food and Drug Administration
Modernization Act of 1997 established a new route to market for low to moderate risk medical devices that are automatically placed into Class III due to the absence of a predicate device, called the “Request for Evaluation of Automatic Class III
Designation,” or the de novo classification procedure. This procedure allows a manufacturer whose novel device is automatically classified into Class III to request de novo classification of its medical
device into Class I or Class II on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk, and that general controls alone, or general and special controls, provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the intended use and that
the probable benefits of the device outweigh the probable risks.
FDA has issued several guidance documents addressing the de novo classification process and the contents of de novo classification requests and, on October 5, 2021, the FDA published a final rule to establish
regulations for the de novo classification process. The regulation defines the requirements for the de novo classification process, including requirements related to the format and content of de novo requests, as well as processes and criteria
for accepting, granting, declining and withdrawing de novo requests.
Under the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) and the final rule, the FDA is required to issue an order classifying the device within 120 days following receipt of the de novo request or receipt of additional
information that results in the de novo request being accepted, but in practice the time for FDA review of de novo classification requests has historically been significantly longer. Under the Food and Drug Administration Reauthorization Act
(FDARA), Congress implemented user fees for de novo classification requests and FDA committed to performance goals for their review.
If the manufacturer seeks de novo classification into Class II, the manufacturer must include, among other information, a draft proposal for special controls that are necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of
the safety and effectiveness of the medical device. In addition, the FDA may decline the de novo classification request if it identifies a legally marketed predicate device or otherwise determines the device has already been classified, or
determines that general controls or general and special controls are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device, among other reasons for declining a de novo request listed in the final rule. Devices
that are classified into class I or class II in response to a de novo classification request may be marketed and used as predicates for future premarket notification 510(k) submissions.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022 due to the material weakness as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, under Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, filed with the SEC on
March 24, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will
prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must
reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues within a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may
occur and may not be detected.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings
|
From time to time we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in connection with our business. Based on information currently available, we believe that the amount, or range, of reasonably possible losses in connection with any pending
actions against us in excess of established reserves, in the aggregate, is not material to our consolidated financial condition or cash flows. However, losses may be material to our operating results for any particular future period, depending on
the level of income for such period.
You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain risks and uncertainties facing us that could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, results of
operations, liquidity and available capital resources set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022.
