Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
The following discussion and
analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and
related notes included elsewhere in this in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
or the SEC, on March 24, 2022. This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are
subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections.
Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs
and assumptions and on information currently available to our
management. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking
statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,”
“goal,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “hope” and similar
expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements and
reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. Our
actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute
to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of
the date hereof. These statements are based upon information
available to us as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable
basis for such statements, such information may be limited or
incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that
we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all
potentially available relevant information. These statements are
inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly
rely upon these statements.
Overview
We are a biomedical company focused on
transforming women’s healthcare by developing novel solutions and
next-generation advancements providing significant clinical impact
to address severely underserved areas. Our mission is to provide
women worldwide with superior minimally-invasive, non-surgical
product technologies, accessible in the office, improving patient
care and overall health economics. We are a woman-founded and led
company with an expansive, internally created intellectual property
portfolio with over 150 patents globally, in-house chemistry,
manufacturing, and controls (CMC) and device manufacturing
capabilities and proven ability to develop and commercialize
products. Our suite of products and product candidates address what
we believe are multi-billion dollar global market segments in which
there has been little advancement for many years, helping women
avoid pharmaceutical solutions, implants and surgery that can be
expensive and expose women to harm. With an initial focus in the
area of reproductive health, our two lead product candidates offer
solutions for two ends of the spectrum: FemBloc for permanent birth
control and FemaSeed as an artificial insemination infertility
treatment.
Clinical
Update
On October 20, 2022, we announced an
updated study design for our FemaSeed pivotal trial, which will now
focus on couples experiencing male factor infertility. This update
reflects a revised strategy to address this underserved population
experiencing infertility with a goal of facilitating accelerated
enrollment. The FemaSeed LOCAL de novo clinical trial is a
prospective multi-center, unblinded study (NCT04968847) requiring
evaluation of up to 214 women undergoing 214 FemaSeed cycles due to
male factor infertility. The primary endpoints of the study are to
determine the effectiveness (pregnancy rate) and safety over a
period of seven weeks post-FemaSeed procedure. Study enrollment is
expected to be completed in 2023. FemaSeed features intrauterine
directional delivery that deposits sperm locally and directly to
the fallopian tube where conception occurs. As the first and only
approach, presenting significant advantages over existing
artificial insemination solutions, it is intended to become a
first-line treatment for infertility.
About Male Factor
Infertility
Of all infertility cases,
approximately 40–50% is reportedly due to male factor infertility,
which represents a dramatic increase in prevalence over the past 40
years. Sperm counts worldwide have declined by over 50% between
1973 and 2011, with an increasing proportion of men having sperm
counts below the threshold to be deemed sub-fertile or infertile.
Assisted forms of reproductive treatment such as in-vitro
fertilization (“IVF”) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (“ICSI”)
are both effective first-line treatments but are associated with
significant costs (approximately $30,000), are often not covered by
health insurance and may pose clinical risks.

Sales
Sales increased by $77,875, or 28.9%,
to $347,456 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared
to $269,581 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to
strong U.S. sales of FemVue. U.S. sales increased by $78,106, or
36.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to
the same period last year, and
U.S. units of FemVue sold
increased by 38.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022
compared to the same period last year. International sales largely
remained the same and were $57,814 and $58,045 for the three months
ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cost of
sales and gross margin percentage
Cost of sales increased by $26,048, or
24.7%, to $131,451 for the three months ended September 30, 2022
compared to $105,403 for the three months ended September 30, 2021
which was largely due to our increase in U.S. FemVue sales. Gross
margin percentage was 62.2% for the three months ended September
30, 2022 compared to 60.9% for the three months ended September 30,
2021, representing a 1.3% change in our gross margin due to certain
improvements we have started implementing in order to improve our
manufacturing processes.

R&D expenses increased by
$507,583, or 44.5%, to $1,648,160 for the three months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $1,140,577 for the three months
ended September 30, 2021. The net increase of $507,583 consists of
an increase of $128,972 in compensation and related personnel costs
primarily due to an increase in headcount, an increase of $348,761
in clinical-related costs, and a net increase of $29,850 in all
other costs, all to mainly support our clinical trials.
Sales and
marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased
by $47,090, or 108.8%, to $90,374 for the three months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $43,284 for the three months ended
September 30, 2021. This increase was largely due to an increase in
compensation and related personnel costs due to an increase in
headcount.
General
and administrative
General and administrative expenses
increased by $307,700, or 28.3%, to $1,395,063 for the three months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1,087,363 for the three
months ended September 30, 2021. The net increase was largely due
to an increase in salaries and related personnel costs, an increase
in facility and other allocated overhead costs, and an increase in
professional costs for legal and accounting.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses
decreased by $4,802, or 3.3%, to $139,597 for the three months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to $144,399 for the three months
ended September 30, 2021 mainly due to reduction of amortization
expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets.
Other
income (expense)
Other income, net increased by
$82,602, or 1,000.5%, to $74,346 for the three months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $(8,256) for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 mainly due to interest income earned on our
money market accounts.

Sales
Sales increased by $46,612, or 5.0%,
to $971,974 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared
to $925,362 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The
$46,612 net increase was largely attributable to the increase in
U.S. FemVue sales of $104,830 for the nine months ended September
30, 2022 compared to the same period last year. This amount was
offset by the decrease of $58,218 in international sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period
last year. U.S. units of FemVue sold increased by 13.8% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same
period last year. International sales decreased by 33.4% and were
$115,859 and $174,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
and 2021, respectively.
Cost of
sales and gross margin percentage
Cost of sales increased by $50,407, or
16.5%, to $356,479 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
compared to $306,072 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase in cost of sales was mainly due to net increase in
sales and increased production personnel labor and overhead costs
applied to our cost of sales for the nine months ended September
30, 2022 compared to the same period last year. Gross margin
percentage was 63.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
compared to 66.9% for the nine months ended September 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.

* Prior period amounts have been reclassified to confirm with
current year presentation.
R&D expenses increased by
$1,511,680, or 49.9%, to $4,542,147 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $3,030,467 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. The net increase of $1,511,680 largely consists
of an increase of $359,361 in compensation and related personnel
costs primarily due to an increase in headcount, an increase of
$852,931 in clinical-related costs, an increase of $102,844 in
material and development costs and an increase of $183,889 in
professional and outside consultant costs, all to mainly support
our clinical trials.
Sales and
marketing
Sales and marketing expenses increased
by $134,483, or 152.9%, to $222,414 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $87,931 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. This increase was 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 $993,607, or 32.8%, to $4,024,356 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3,030,749 for the nine months
ended September 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 and an increase in
facility and other allocated overhead costs mainly for additional
directors and officers insurance.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses
decreased by $22,731, or 5.1%, to $426,480 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to $449,211 for the nine months
ended September 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
$706,148, or 87.6%, to $99,928 for the nine months ended September
30, 2022 compared to $806,076 for the nine months ended September
30, 2021 mainly due to the Small Business Administration approval
of our Paychex Protection Program loan forgiveness in September
2021.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
Sources of
liquidity
Since our inception through September
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 September 30, 2022, we had $16,005,650 of cash and
cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $91,240,309.
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”) and filed a related Prospectus
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 pursuant to the Prospectus. As of September 30, 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 September 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.

Operating
activities
For the nine months ended September
30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $7,864,086,
attributable to a net loss of $8,499,974, a net change in our net
operating assets and liabilities of $202,652 and offset by non-cash
charges of $838,540. Non-cash charges largely consisted of $426,480
in depreciation and amortization, $249,972 in right-of-use
amortization, and $158,288 in stock-based compensation. The change
in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an
increase in accounts receivables of $98,872, an increase in
inventory of $138,666 and a decrease of $290,104 in lease
liabilities, which were offset partially by a decrease in other
assets of $359,307.

30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $5,682,883,
attributable to a net loss of $5,172,992, a net change in our net
operating assets and liabilities of $588,880, and non-cash charges
of $78,989. Net non-cash charges largely consisted of $821,515 in
PPP loan forgiveness offset by $163,924 in stock-based
compensation, $449,211 in depreciation and amortization, and
$284,519 in right-of-use amortization. The change in our net
operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a net
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $748,173, a
decrease of $312,893 in lease liabilities, and offset by a decrease
in other assets of $498,878.

payments of $232,845, and offset by proceeds from the exercise of a
stock option of $16,151.
For the nine months ended September

of stock options totaling $112,145, and offset by repayments on
notes payable of $302,343 and payments under lease obligations of
$15,448.
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 September 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 nine months ended September 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.
