NEXGEL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

1. Description of Business, Stock Split and Basis of Presentation

 

NexGel, Inc. (“NexGel” or the “Company”) manufactures high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. The Company specializes in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. The Company has historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. Beginning in 2020, we created two new lines of business for the Company. First, we launched our own line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers. Second, we expanded into custom and white label opportunities, which focuses on combining our gels with proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. All of our gel products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, the Company and its customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.

 

NexGel was previously known as AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (“AquaMed”) before changing its name to NexGel, Inc. on November 14, 2019.

 

On May 15, 2024, the Company purchased assets from Semmens Online Pty Ltd as Trustee for Semmens Business Trust (the “SG Seller”) related to the SG Seller’s eyeliner, fake eyelashes, lash growth serum and mascara business operating under the tradename “Silly George” (collectively, the “Silly George Business”).

 

On December 1, 2023, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets Olympus Trading Company, LLC (the “Kenkoderm Seller”) related to the Kenkoderm Seller’s skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis operating under the tradename “Kenkoderm” (“Kenkoderm acquisition”).

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a newly formed joint venture (“JV”), CG Converting and Packaging, LLC (“CGN”), with C.G. Laboratories Inc. (“CG Labs”) for its converting and packaging business. The JV is effective March 1, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50% of the JV, with the remaining 50% held by CG Labs.

 

On January 6, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a newly formed JV (“Enigma”) to pursue branded consumer product retail opportunities and the development of new patch products. The JV agreement is effective January 6, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50% of the JV, with the remaining 50% held by Moiety.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of NexGel have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its condensed consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, NexGelRx, Inc. and the fifty percent (50%) owned JV’s (see Note 5).

 

2. Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $1.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.7 million and had a net usage of cash in operating activities of $1.8 million. In addition, the Company had a working capital of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, we believe we have sufficient cash to operate our business plan into 2025.

 

8

 

On August 8, 2024, the Company, entered into subscription agreements with investors, certain members of its board of directors for a registered direct offering (“RDO”) of the Company’s common stock. The RDO sold an aggregate 222,000 units at a price to the public of $5.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the RDO were $1.1 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the RDO for working capital and for general corporate purposes (discussed further within Note 19).

 

Management is exploring new product channel sales in adjacent industries, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.

 

We have sufficient capital to maintain as a going concern due to the recent capital raises. We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing our catalog of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.

 

We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long-term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include allowances for credit losses, inventory reserves, deferred taxes, share-based compensation and related valuation allowances and fair value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

We have reclassified, combined or separately disclosed certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to conform with the current year’s presentation.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. The Company has two reportable segments - the NexGel segment and the “CGN” segment.

 

The NexGel segment is comprised of the manufacturing of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, which is based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The NexGel segment includes the Kenkoderm and Silly George recent acquisitions and the Enigma JV.

 

9

 

The “CGN” segment is comprised of the JV used for the Company’s converting and packaging business, which is based in Granbury, Texas.

 

Cash

 

Cash is comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid investments, including U.S. treasury bills purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as well as investments in money market funds for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturities of these investments.

 

Margin Line of Credit

 

The Company has a brokerage account through which it can buy and sell U.S. treasury bills. The provisions of the account allow us to borrow on certain securities held in the account and to purchase additional securities based on the account equity (including cash). Amounts borrowed are collateralized by the securities held in the account and bear interest at a negotiated rate payable monthly. Securities pledged to secure margin balances cannot be specifically identified as a portion of all securities held in a brokerage account are used as collateral. As of December 31, 2023, there was $245 thousand outstanding under this short-term credit line which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 11). The margin line credit line was repaid in January 2024 and there is no outstanding balance under the credit line as of June 30, 2024.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records a provision to the allowance for credit losses based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the customer’s payment history, the credit quality of the customer and other factors that may affect the customers’ ability to pay. Provisions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for credit losses was $18 thousand as of June 30, 2024 and $11 thousand as of December 31, 2023.

 

Inventory and Cost of Revenues

 

The inventory balance is stated at the lower of cost, the value determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, and shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions, and a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for products. These factors determine when, and if, the Company adjusts the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value.

 

The Company produces proprietary branded products and white label opportunities in our manufacturing of consumer products. In our contract manufacturing, the Company builds its products based on customer orders and immediately ships the products upon completion of the production process.

 

The inventory balance is made up of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s warehouses and at fulfilment centers owned by Amazon, Walmart and CVS.

 

The “Cost of revenues” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is comprised of the book value of inventory sold to customers during the reporting period. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value as the basis for recording inventory, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development activities focus on new and innovative products designed to support revenue growth. Research and development expenses consist primarily of contracted development and testing efforts associated with development of products.

 

10

 

Shipping and Handling Revenue and Expense

 

Shipping and handling revenue and expense are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in revenues and cost of revenues, respectively. Shipping revenue and expense are primarily generated through the Amazon marketplace.

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Management periodically assesses the estimated useful life over which assets are depreciated or amortized. If the analysis warrants a change in the estimated useful life of property and equipment, management will reduce the estimated useful life and depreciate or amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.

 

The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal and any resulting gains and losses are included in the results of operations during the same year.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of the acquisition date or annually as of December 31, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets is compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

The Company performed the annual assessment and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeds the carrying value and no impairments were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets are recorded at historical cost and are primarily made up of $10 thousand and $64 thousand of prepaid insurance, and $458 thousand and $336 thousand general prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Other Assets

 

Other assets are recorded at historical costs, and as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance is primarily comprised of spare parts for manufacturing equipment. Spare parts are not subject to depreciation until such time that they are placed into service and the part that is being replaced is disposed.

 

11

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

 

Level 1 —Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

The Company considers the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to approximate fair value because of the short-term or highly liquid nature of these financial instruments.

 

Warrant Liability

 

Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises, which occurred during 2019 through 2024. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair values of the warrant are recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

 

The Company currently recognizes revenue predominately from three sources, contract manufacturing, custom and white label finished goods manufacturing and our branded products. Revenues from manufactured products are recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time the customer receives the product.

 

The Company’s customers consist of other life sciences companies and Amazon retail customers. Revenues are entirely concentrated in the United States. Payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and may differ by jurisdiction and customer but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 60 days from date of shipment.

 

Estimates for product returns, allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue and are established at the time of sale. Returns are estimated through a comparison of historical return data and are determined for each product and adjusted for known or expected changes in the marketplace specific to each product, when appropriate. Historically, sales return provisions have not been material. Amounts accrued for sales allowances and discounts are based on estimates of amounts that are expected to be claimed on the related sales and are based on historical data. Payments for allowances and discounts have historically been immaterial.

Other   53    22 
Total  $2,706   $1,786 

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any contract assets or contract liabilities from contracts with customers and there were no remaining performance obligations that the Company had not satisfied except for deferred revenue of $179 thousand and $20 thousand at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that the Company had not satisfied as of the end of the respective period.

 

The Company has four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom and White Label, Branded Consumer Products, and Medical Devices/Other.

 

Contract Manufacturing

 

Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.

 

Custom and White Label

 

These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into saleable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the Company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places a large order for newly developed product.

 

Branded Consumer Products

 

These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to the customer by the Company through online and retail channels. The Company is responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. These products carry the Company’s brand names, which include Medagel, Lumagel Beauty, Kenkoderm and Silly George.

 

Medical Devices

 

Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom and White Label and Branded Consumer Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. The Company will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by the Company, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

On August 28, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2019 Plan”). See Note 13 below for further details regarding the 2019 Plan.

 

13

 

The 2019 Plan provides certain employees, contractors, and outside directors with share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other awards. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

 

Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.

 

Leases

 

ASC 842, Leases, requires recognition of leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. A number of the lease agreements contain options to renew and options to terminate the leases early. The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.

 

The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the year when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.

 

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company reviews each legal entity formed by parties related to the Company to determine whether or not the Company has a variable interest in the entity and whether or not the entity would meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. In assessing whether the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company considers and makes judgements regarding the purpose and design of the entity, the value of the licensed assets to the entity, the value of the entity’s total assets and the significant activities of the entity. If the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company assesses whether or not the Company is a primary beneficiary of that VIE, based on a number of factors, including: (i) which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, (ii) the parties’ contractual rights and responsibilities pursuant to the collaboration agreement, and (iii) which party has the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

 

14

 

If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the onset of the collaboration, the collaboration is treated as a business combination and the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the Company will evaluate whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary of the consolidated VIE. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE, it deconsolidates the VIE in the period in which the determination is made.

 

Assets and liabilities recorded as a result of consolidating the financial results of the VIE into the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets or liabilities for which creditors have recourse to the Company’s general assets.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and changes in equity during the period from transactions and other equity and circumstances generated from non-owner sources. The Company’s net loss equals comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU’) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023 and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this new standard during the year ended December 31, 2023 and it did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires additional disclosures on income tax expense and taxes paid, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced income tax related disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU includes amendments that expand the existing reportable segment disclosure requirements and requires disclosure of (i) significant expense categories and amounts by reportable segment as well as the segment’s profit or loss measure(s) that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance; (ii) how the CODM uses each reported segment profit or loss measure to allocate resources and assess performance; (iii) the nature of other segment balances contributing to reported segment profit or loss that are not captured within segment revenues or expenses; and (iv) the title and position of the individual or name of the group or committee identified as the CODM. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced disclosures relating to its reportable segments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

15

 

4. Business Segments

 

The Company’s CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segments based upon segment adjusted operating income or (loss) as the profitability measure. Items outside of adjusted operating income or (loss) are not reported by segment, since they are excluded from the single measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM.

15. Warrant Liability

 

On February 21, 2024, September 2, 2021, March 11, 2021, February 3, 2021, December 24, 2020, March 18, 2020, September 10, 2019, and November 6, 2019, the Company issued 27,725, 22,019, 34,285, 7,429, 7,286, 44,286, 35,714 and 114,286 warrants, respectively, as equity issuance consideration, in connection with equity offering of the Company’s common stock. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.49 to $5.25 per share at any time on or after their issuance date and on or prior to the close of business three years after the issuance date (the “Termination Date”). The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the public share offering. Management also determined that the warrants required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The warrants outstanding and fair values at each of the respective valuation dates are summarized below:

 

Warrant Liability  Warrants Outstanding   Fair Value per Share   Fair Value 
Fair value as of year ended 12/31/2023   71,019        $146 
Fair value at initial measurement date   27,725   $2.01    56 
Change in fair value of warrant liability   -         (26)
Fair value as of year ended 6/30/2024   98,744        $176 

 

The following assumptions were used to calculate the warrant liability for six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

   2024   2023 
Exercise price  $2.80 to $5.25   $0.49 - $5.25 
Share price   $1.99 - $2.73   $1.28 
Volatility   113.39% - 283.32%   137.02 - 287.87%
Risk-free interest rate   4.21% - 5.09%   3.81 % - 4.74%
Dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%
Expected term   1.2 to 5.0 years    0.1 to 3.4 years 

 

The warrant liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities on the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value includes various assumptions about of future activities and the Company’s stock prices and historical volatility of Guideline Public Companies as inputs.

 

16. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that will have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

 

Service Agreement

 

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Holdings (US) LLC (“Haleon”) to supply material for a consumer product to be developed and released in the future. There can be no guaranty that a consumer product will be released or, if released, that it will be successful.

 

17. Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company’s revenues are concentrated in a small group of customers with some individually having more than 10% of total revenues. Revenues from one customer that exceeded 10% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was 15%. The accounts receivable from the top customer was 58% as well as 14% from one other customer of the total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024.

 

Revenues from two customers that exceeded 10% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were 40% and 14%. The accounts receivable from those top two customers were 0% and 22% as well as 13%, 15%, and 16% from three other customers of the total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023.

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Cash balances are maintained principally at major U.S. financial institutions and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to regulatory limits. Such cash balances are currently in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250 thousand. As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any balances that exceeded the FDIC insurance limit, however the Company had approximately $82 thousand in cash in non FDIC insured entities at June 30, 2024. The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its cash balances in the past. The Company invests its cash equivalents in U.S. treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Marketable securities are comprised of U.S. treasury bills with original maturities greater than three months. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and performs periodic evaluations of the credit standing of such institutions.

 

18. Related Party Transactions

 

Advances

 

Dr. Jerome Zeldis, a member of the Company board of directors, has an outstanding balance due of $25,000 for services as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which is included in accounts payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

19. Subsequent Events

 

Management of the Company has performed a review of events and transactions occurring after the condensed consolidated balance sheet date to determine if there were any such events or transactions requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, noting no such events or transactions except as set forth below:

 

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into subscription agreements with investors, certain members of its board of directors, and management for the sale by the Company of an aggregate of 222,000 units at a price to the public of $5.00 per unit (the “August Offering”), with each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share (the “August Warrants”). The closing of the August Offering is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur on or about August 14, 2024 (the “August Closing Date”). On or about the August Closing Date, the Company expects to issue 444,000 shares of common stock and issue August Warrants to purchase up to 222,000 shares of common stock

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, each of the August Warrants will become exercisable on the August Closing Date, will have an exercise price of $4.25 per share and will expire five years after the August Closing Date. The August Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained in the registration statement is not available for, the issuance or resale of shares of common stock underlying the August Warrants to or by the holder. The holder of an August Warrant is prohibited from exercising of any such warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99%.

 

Certain members of the Company’s board of directors and management have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 27,000 units in the August Offering. In connection with the August Offering, the members of board of directors and management purchasing units in the August Offering have agreed not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of securities relating to the units for a period of 180 days following the date of the prospectus used in the August Offering.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company from the August Offering are expected to be approximately $1.110 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the August Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the August Offering for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

  

The Company retained Alere Financial Partners, LLC (a division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC) to act as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the August Offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the August Offering received from non-affiliates of the Company and 4% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the August Offering received from affiliates of the Company. Additionally, and upon the closing of the August Offering, the Company agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants exercisable for a period of five years to purchase up to 8% of the number of shares sold in August Offering, or up to 33,360 shares, at a per share exercise price of $4.25.

Overview

 

We manufacture high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. We specialize in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. We have historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. Beginning in 2020, we created two new lines of business for the company. First, our own line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers. Second, we expanded into custom and white label opportunities, which focuses on combining our gels with proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. All of our gel products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, we and our customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.

 

Beginning in December 2023, the Company expanded their product portfolio to include the Kenkoderm brand. Kenkoderm is a skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis. Kenkoderm products do not utilize our gel technology and are manufactured by third parties.

 

Beginning in May 2024, the Company added the Silly George brand. Silly George is a beauty and cosmetics company focused on eyeliner, fake eyelashes, lash growth serum and mascara.

Results of Operations

 

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the comparison periods identified.

 

Comparison of the Three Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands)

 

Revenues, net

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 revenues were $1,440 and increased by $273, or 23.4%, when compared to $1,167 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in our overall revenues was primarily due to sales growth in our branded consumer products, including gross revenue from Silly George of $380 from May 15, 2024 through June 30, 2024, and partially offset by a decrease in contract manufacturing.

 

The Company has four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom and White Label, Branded Consumer Products, and Medical Devices.

 

Contract Manufacturing

 

Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.

 

Custom and White Label

 

These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into saleable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places a large order for newly developed product.

 

Branded Consumer Products

 

These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to the customer by the Company through online and retail channels. The Company is responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. These products carry the Company’s brand names.

 

Medical Devices

 

Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom and White Label and Branded Consumer Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. The Company will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by the Company, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.

 

Gross profit. Our gross profit was $410 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a gross profit of $175 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $235 in gross profit quarter over quarter was primarily due to the increase in branded consumer products. Gross profit was 28.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a gross profit of 15.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

30

 

The components of cost of revenues are as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 30, 
   2024   2023 
Cost of revenues          
Materials and finished products  $676   $594

Depreciation and amortization   29    21 
Equipment, production and other expenses   169    214 
Total cost of revenues  $1,030   $992 

 

Cost of revenues increased by $38, or 3.8%, to $1,030 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $992 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily aligned with sales of branded consumer products, as both Silly George and Kenkoderm were acquired after the comparable 2023 time period.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table highlights Selling, general and administrative expenses by type for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 30, 
   2024   2023 
Selling, general and administrative expenses          
Compensation and benefits  $252   $176

Professional and consulting fees   401    246 
Other expenses and professional fees   78    52 
Total Selling, general and administrative expenses  $1,388   $882 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $506, or 57.4%, to $1,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $882 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in Selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the factors described below.

 

Compensation and benefits increased by $76, or 43.2%, to $252 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $176 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The number of employees increased compared to the prior period and officer compensation increased in conjunction with contract renewals.

 

Share-based compensation increased by $30 or 130.4%, to $53 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $23 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase related to the issuance of stock options and restricted awards to our officers, employees, board of directors, and advisors.

 

Advertising, marketing, Amazon fees increased by $276, or 166.3%, to $442 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $166 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is due to the increased Amazon selling fees and an increase in advertising and marketing attributable to promoting Kenkoderm and Silly George.

 

Investor and shareholder services decreased by $52 or 37.1%, to $88 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $140 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is due to a net reduction of investor services compared to the prior year period.

 

Franchise taxes and corporate insurance decreased by $41, or 65.1%, to $22 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $63 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023. In the prior year period, a non-recurring adjustment resulted in an increase in franchise taxes.

 

31

 

Professional and consulting fees increased by $155, or 63.0%, to $401 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $246 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. We continued to incur accounting and consulting fees associated with public company governance requirements and professional services related to branded consumer products.

 

Other Expenses increased by $26, or 50.0%, to $78 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $52 for the three months ended June 30 2023. Other Selling, general and administrative expenses generally consist of normal costs associated with our selling efforts and general management, including information technology, travel, training and recruiting.

 

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $21, or 38.2%, to $76 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $55 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Research and development expenses are related to research costs incurred for potential products for existing or new customers.

 

Comparison of the Six Months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands)

 

Revenues, net

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues were $2,706 and increased by $920, or 51.5%, when compared to $1,786 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in our overall revenues was primarily due to sales growth in our branded consumer products, including gross revenue from Silly George of $380 from May 15, 2024 through June 30, 2024, and partially offset by a decrease in contract manufacturing.

 

Gross profit. Our gross profit was $687 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a gross profit of $117 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase of $570 in gross profit recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to increase in branded consumer products. Gross profit was approximately 25.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a gross profit of 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The increase in cost of revenues pertains to an increase in materials and finished products. The increase in cost of revenues is primarily aligned with sales of branded consumer products, as both Silly George and Kenkoderm were acquired after the comparable 2023 time period.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. The following table highlights selling, general, and administrative expenses by type for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 ($ in thousands):

 

  

Six Months Ended

June 30,

 
   2023   2022 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses          
Compensation and benefits  $504   $321 
Share-based compensation   104    42

Professional and consulting fees   765    552 
Other expenses   153    119 
Total selling, general and administrative expenses  $2,534   $1,679 

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $855, or 50.9%, to $2,534 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1,679 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to increased Advertising, marketing and Amazon fees, which directly correlates to our growth in branded consumer products.

 

Compensation and benefits increased by $183, or 57.0%, to $504 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $321 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The number of employees increased compared to the prior period and officer compensation increased in conjunction with contract renewals.

 

Share-based compensation increased by $62, or 147.6%, to $104 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $42 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase related to the issuance of stock options and restricted awards to our officers, employees, board of directors, and advisors.

 

Advertising, marketing, Amazon fees increased by $435 or 167.3%, to $695 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $260 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is due to the increased Amazon selling fees and increase in advertising and marketing attributable to promoting Kenkoderm and Silly George.

 

Investor and shareholder services decreased by $87 or 36.7%, to $150 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $237 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is due to a net reduction of investor services compared to the prior year period.

 

Franchise taxes and corporate insurance decreased by $42 or 34.4%, to $80 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $122 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In the prior year period, a non-recurring adjustment resulted in an increase in franchise taxes.

 

Professional and consulting fees increased by $213 or 38.6% to $765 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $552 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. We continued to incur accounting and consulting fees associated with public company governance requirements and professional services related to branded consumer products.

 

Other expenses increased by $34, or 28.6%, to $153 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $119 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Other Selling, general and administrative expenses generally consist of normal costs associated with our selling efforts and general management, including information technology, travel, training and recruiting.

 

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $6, or 7.1% to $78 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $84 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Research and development expenses are related to research costs incurred for potential products for existing or new customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow (in thousands)

 

   June 30,   June 30, 
   2024   2023 
Net cash used in operating activities  $(1,792)  $(1,926)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities   (704)   4,519 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities   865    (3)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents   (1,631)   2,590 
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year   2,700    1,101 
Cash and cash equivalent at end of quarter  $1,069   $3,691 

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had $1,069 of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $2,700 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,792 and $1,926 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $704 and net cash provided by investing activities was $ 4,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, consisting of the sales of marketable securities of $57, the purchase of capital equipment of $361 and the acquisition of $400 for six months ended June 30, 2024 and consisting of the sales of marketable securities of $4,772 and purchases of capital equipment of $253 for six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $865 consisting of net proceeds from the RDO of $946 and an investment of $37 by a joint venture partner, offset by principal payments of notes payable of $27, a change in contingent consideration liability of $69, and by principal payment on financing lease liability of $22. Net cash used in financing activities for June 30, 2023 was $3 is attributable to the principal payments of notes payable.

 

At June 30, 2024, current assets totaled $3,588 and current liabilities totaled $2,633 as compared to current assets totaling $5,052 and current liabilities totaling $2,549 at December 31, 2023. As a result, we had working capital of $955 at June 30, 2024, compared to a working capital of $2,503 at December 31, 2023. The change in the working capital as of June 30, 2024 is primarily attributable to the loss from operations of $1,925, cash paid for asset acquisition of $403, capital expenditures of $361, offset by net proceeds of $946 from the RDO.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that all available funds and any earnings generated in our business will be used to finance the growth of our business and will not be paid out as dividends to our shareholders. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Management is exploring new product channel sales in consumer products, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased its focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.

 

We believe we have sufficient capital to maintain as a going concern due to the recent capital raise on August 8, 2024 (discussed further within Note 19). We believe we have sufficient cash and marketable securities to operate our business plan into 2025. We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing our catalog of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.

 

We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements in the nature of guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to entities (or similar arrangements serving as credit, liquidity or market risk support to entities for any such assets), or obligations (including contingent obligations) arising out of variable interests in entities providing financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our Financial Statements.

 

Share-based compensation – We utilize share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period required to obtain full vesting. The expected term of the awards granted is estimated using the simplified method which computes the expected term as the sum of the award’s vesting term plus the original contractual term divided by two.

 

35

 

Warrant Liability – Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises which occurred during 2019 through 2024. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair value of the warrant is recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The expected term of the awards granted are based on either the three-year or five-year contractual expiration date.

 

Black Scholes Inputs - The fair value of each stock option award and warrant issued was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding: (i) fair value of the common stock that underlies the stock option; (ii) the expected volatility in the market price of our common stock; (iii) dividend yield; (iv) risk-free interest rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected term). Under the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, entities typically estimate the expected volatility based on historical volatilities of the entity’s own common stock. Based on the lack of historical data of volatility for the Company’s common stock, the Company based its estimate of expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of comparable public companies that manufacture similar products and are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage. The fair value of the common stock that underlies the stock option is estimated by the Company considering the price of the most recent issuance of the Company’s common stock. The dividend yield is based upon the assumption that the Company will not declare a dividend over the life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturities consistent with the expected term of the related award.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls and Procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 at a reasonable level of assurance.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims.

 

There are no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our common stock is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest

1. Description of Business, Stock Split and Basis of Presentation

 

NexGel, Inc. (“NexGel” or the “Company”) manufactures high water content, electron beam cross-linked, aqueous polymer hydrogels, or gels, used for wound care, medical diagnostics, transdermal drug delivery and cosmetics. The Company specializes in custom gels by capitalizing on proprietary manufacturing technologies. The Company has historically served as a contract manufacturer, supplying our gels to third parties who incorporate them into their own products. Beginning in 2020, we created two new lines of business for the Company. First, we launched our own line of branded consumer products sold direct to consumers. Second, we expanded into custom and white label opportunities, which focuses on combining our gels with proprietary branded products and white label opportunities. All of our gel products are manufactured using proprietary and non-proprietary mixing, coating and cross-linking technologies. Together, these technologies enable us to produce gels that can satisfy rigid tolerance specifications with respect to a wide range of physical characteristics (e.g., thickness, water content, adherence, absorption, moisture vapor transmission rate [a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance] and release rate) while maintaining product integrity. Additionally, we have the manufacturing ability to offer broad choices in the selection of liners onto which the gels are coated. Consequently, the Company and its customers are able to determine tolerances in moisture vapor transmission rate and active ingredient release rates while personalizing color and texture.

 

NexGel was previously known as AquaMed Technologies, Inc. (“AquaMed”) before changing its name to NexGel, Inc. on November 14, 2019.

 

On May 15, 2024, the Company purchased assets from Semmens Online Pty Ltd as Trustee for Semmens Business Trust (the “SG Seller”) related to the SG Seller’s eyeliner, fake eyelashes, lash growth serum and mascara business operating under the tradename “Silly George” (collectively, the “Silly George Business”).

 

On December 1, 2023, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets Olympus Trading Company, LLC (the “Kenkoderm Seller”) related to the Kenkoderm Seller’s skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis operating under the tradename “Kenkoderm” (“Kenkoderm acquisition”).

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a newly formed joint venture (“JV”), CG Converting and Packaging, LLC (“CGN”), with C.G. Laboratories Inc. (“CG Labs”) for its converting and packaging business. The JV is effective March 1, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50% of the JV, with the remaining 50% held by CG Labs.

 

On January 6, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a newly formed JV (“Enigma”) to pursue branded consumer product retail opportunities and the development of new patch products. The JV agreement is effective January 6, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50% of the JV, with the remaining 50% held by Moiety.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of NexGel have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its condensed consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, NexGelRx, Inc. and the fifty percent (50%) owned JV’s (see Note 5).

2. Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $1.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.7 million and had a net usage of cash in operating activities of $1.8 million. In addition, the Company had a working capital of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, we believe we have sufficient cash to operate our business plan into 2025.

 

 

On August 8, 2024, the Company, entered into subscription agreements with investors, certain members of its board of directors for a registered direct offering (“RDO”) of the Company’s common stock. The RDO sold an aggregate 222,000 units at a price to the public of $5.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the RDO were $1.1 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the RDO for working capital and for general corporate purposes (discussed further within Note 19).

 

Management is exploring new product channel sales in adjacent industries, such as cosmetics, athletic products, and proprietary medical devices. The Company has increased focus on sales and developing a sales pipeline for potential customers. This customer base expansion will enable us to provide financial stability for the foreseeable future, expand our current processes, and position us for long-term shareholder value creation.

 

We have sufficient capital to maintain as a going concern due to the recent capital raises. We intend to maintain and attempt to grow our existing contract manufacturing business. We also plan to continue building and developing our catalog of consumer products for sale to branding partners and to use our in-house capabilities to create and test market additional branded products. These products will be target marketed and sold online through social media, television and online marketplaces. Furthermore, the Company plans to develop its own proprietary medical devices and explore drug delivery programs for its technology. Additionally, the Company continues to evaluate strategic initiatives (e.g., acquisitions) and additional capital raises through debt or equity may be necessary to achieve these objectives.

 

We expect to continue incurring losses for the near-term future. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern in the long-term is dependent upon our ability to manage and grow our current products and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management may consider various options to raise capital to fund potential acquisitions through equity or debt offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that management will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds, if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including the recoverability of long-lived assets.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include allowances for credit losses, inventory reserves, deferred taxes, share-based compensation and related valuation allowances and fair value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

We have reclassified, combined or separately disclosed certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to conform with the current year’s presentation.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. The Company has two reportable segments - the NexGel segment and the “CGN” segment.

 

The NexGel segment is comprised of the manufacturing of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, which is based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The NexGel segment includes the Kenkoderm and Silly George recent acquisitions and the Enigma JV.

 

 

The “CGN” segment is comprised of the JV used for the Company’s converting and packaging business, which is based in Granbury, Texas.

 

Cash

 

Cash is comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid investments, including U.S. treasury bills purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as well as investments in money market funds for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturities of these investments.

 

Margin Line of Credit

 

The Company has a brokerage account through which it can buy and sell U.S. treasury bills. The provisions of the account allow us to borrow on certain securities held in the account and to purchase additional securities based on the account equity (including cash). Amounts borrowed are collateralized by the securities held in the account and bear interest at a negotiated rate payable monthly. Securities pledged to secure margin balances cannot be specifically identified as a portion of all securities held in a brokerage account are used as collateral. As of December 31, 2023, there was $245 thousand outstanding under this short-term credit line which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 11). The margin line credit line was repaid in January 2024 and there is no outstanding balance under the credit line as of June 30, 2024.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records a provision to the allowance for credit losses based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the customer’s payment history, the credit quality of the customer and other factors that may affect the customers’ ability to pay. Provisions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for credit losses was $18 thousand as of June 30, 2024 and $11 thousand as of December 31, 2023.

 

Inventory and Cost of Revenues

 

The inventory balance is stated at the lower of cost, the value determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, and shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions, and a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for products. These factors determine when, and if, the Company adjusts the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value.

 

The Company produces proprietary branded products and white label opportunities in our manufacturing of consumer products. In our contract manufacturing, the Company builds its products based on customer orders and immediately ships the products upon completion of the production process.

 

The inventory balance is made up of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s warehouses and at fulfilment centers owned by Amazon, Walmart and CVS.

 

The “Cost of revenues” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is comprised of the book value of inventory sold to customers during the reporting period. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value as the basis for recording inventory, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs.

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development activities focus on new and innovative products designed to support revenue growth. Research and development expenses consist primarily of contracted development and testing efforts associated with development of products.

 

 

Shipping and Handling Revenue and Expense

 

Shipping and handling revenue and expense are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in revenues and cost of revenues, respectively. Shipping revenue and expense are primarily generated through the Amazon marketplace.

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Management periodically assesses the estimated useful life over which assets are depreciated or amortized. If the analysis warrants a change in the estimated useful life of property and equipment, management will reduce the estimated useful life and depreciate or amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.

 

The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal and any resulting gains and losses are included in the results of operations during the same year.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of the acquisition date or annually as of December 31, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets is compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

The Company performed the annual assessment and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeds the carrying value and no impairments were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets are recorded at historical cost and are primarily made up of $10 thousand and $64 thousand of prepaid insurance, and $458 thousand and $336 thousand general prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Other Assets

 

Other assets are recorded at historical costs, and as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance is primarily comprised of spare parts for manufacturing equipment. Spare parts are not subject to depreciation until such time that they are placed into service and the part that is being replaced is disposed.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

 

Level 1 —Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

The Company considers the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to approximate fair value because of the short-term or highly liquid nature of these financial instruments.

 

Warrant Liability

 

Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises, which occurred during 2019 through 2024. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair values of the warrant are recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

 

The Company currently recognizes revenue predominately from three sources, contract manufacturing, custom and white label finished goods manufacturing and our branded products. Revenues from manufactured products are recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time the customer receives the product.

 

The Company’s customers consist of other life sciences companies and Amazon retail customers. Revenues are entirely concentrated in the United States. Payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and may differ by jurisdiction and customer but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 60 days from date of shipment.

 

Estimates for product returns, allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue and are established at the time of sale. Returns are estimated through a comparison of historical return data and are determined for each product and adjusted for known or expected changes in the marketplace specific to each product, when appropriate. Historically, sales return provisions have not been material. Amounts accrued for sales allowances and discounts are based on estimates of amounts that are expected to be claimed on the related sales and are based on historical data. Payments for allowances and discounts have historically been immaterial.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any contract assets or contract liabilities from contracts with customers and there were no remaining performance obligations that the Company had not satisfied except for deferred revenue of $179 thousand and $20 thousand at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that the Company had not satisfied as of the end of the respective period.

 

The Company has four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom and White Label, Branded Consumer Products, and Medical Devices/Other.

 

Contract Manufacturing

 

Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.

 

Custom and White Label

 

These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into saleable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the Company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places a large order for newly developed product.

 

Branded Consumer Products

 

These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to the customer by the Company through online and retail channels. The Company is responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. These products carry the Company’s brand names, which include Medagel, Lumagel Beauty, Kenkoderm and Silly George.

 

Medical Devices

 

Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom and White Label and Branded Consumer Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. The Company will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by the Company, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

On August 28, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2019 Plan”). See Note 13 below for further details regarding the 2019 Plan.

 

 

The 2019 Plan provides certain employees, contractors, and outside directors with share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other awards. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

 

Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.

 

Leases

 

ASC 842, Leases, requires recognition of leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. A number of the lease agreements contain options to renew and options to terminate the leases early. The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.

 

The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the year when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.

 

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company reviews each legal entity formed by parties related to the Company to determine whether or not the Company has a variable interest in the entity and whether or not the entity would meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. In assessing whether the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company considers and makes judgements regarding the purpose and design of the entity, the value of the licensed assets to the entity, the value of the entity’s total assets and the significant activities of the entity. If the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company assesses whether or not the Company is a primary beneficiary of that VIE, based on a number of factors, including: (i) which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, (ii) the parties’ contractual rights and responsibilities pursuant to the collaboration agreement, and (iii) which party has the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

 

 

If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the onset of the collaboration, the collaboration is treated as a business combination and the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the Company will evaluate whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary of the consolidated VIE. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE, it deconsolidates the VIE in the period in which the determination is made.

 

Assets and liabilities recorded as a result of consolidating the financial results of the VIE into the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets or liabilities for which creditors have recourse to the Company’s general assets.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and changes in equity during the period from transactions and other equity and circumstances generated from non-owner sources. The Company’s net loss equals comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU’) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023 and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this new standard during the year ended December 31, 2023 and it did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires additional disclosures on income tax expense and taxes paid, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced income tax related disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU includes amendments that expand the existing reportable segment disclosure requirements and requires disclosure of (i) significant expense categories and amounts by reportable segment as well as the segment’s profit or loss measure(s) that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance; (ii) how the CODM uses each reported segment profit or loss measure to allocate resources and assess performance; (iii) the nature of other segment balances contributing to reported segment profit or loss that are not captured within segment revenues or expenses; and (iv) the title and position of the individual or name of the group or committee identified as the CODM. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced disclosures relating to its reportable segments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segments based upon segment adjusted operating income or (loss) as the profitability measure. Items outside of adjusted operating income or (loss) are not reported by segment, since they are excluded from the single measure of segment profitability reviewed by the CODM.

Silly George Acquisition

 

On May 15, 2024, the Company entered into and closed a transaction related to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 15, 2024 (the “SG Purchase Agreement”) with Semmens Online Pty Ltd as Trustee for Semmens Business Trust, an Australian proprietary limited, whereby the Company purchased the Silly George Business. The Company believes the acquisition will be accretive and synergistic to its existing health and beauty customer product brands.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and on the Closing Date, the Company paid the SG Seller a cash payment of $400,000 and issued $200,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock based on the 10-Day VWAP (as defined in the SG Purchase Agreement), or 89,892 of shares of the Company’s common Stock. Additionally, the Company shall pay the Seller a cash earn-out based on 20% of the Net Profit (as defined in the SG Purchase Agreement) related to the SG Assets for the fiscal quarterly period beginning June 30, 2024 and ending on June 30, 2028. Per the scope exception under ASC 815, the Company has not accrued the contingent consideration.

Kenkoderm Acquisition

 

On December 1, 2023, the Company closed a transaction related to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 30, 2023 with Olympus Trading Company, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, whereby the Company purchased all assets related to the Kenkoderm Seller’s skincare line focused on reducing symptoms associated with psoriasis operating under the tradename “Kenkoderm” (“Kenkoderm acquisition”). The Company believes the Kenkoderm brand fits its health and wellness lines of product.

 

Under the terms of the Kenkoderm Purchase Agreement, the Company paid the Kenkoderm Seller a cash payment of $546,500 on December 1, 2023. Additionally, the Company shall pay the Kenkoderm Seller a cash earn-out of the same amount each quarter, payable in the subsequent month following quarter end, of $136,625, subject to adjustment. The cash earn-out can fluctuate higher or lower based on the quarterly results of the Kenkoderm business during 2024 according to the formula contained in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The provisional fair value of the purchase consideration issued to the Kenkoderm Seller was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. The Company accounted for the Kenkoderm acquisition as the purchase of a business under GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values and condensed consolidated with those of the Company. The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $169 thousand. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets has been allocated to goodwill.

Non-controlling Interest in Joint Venture – CGN

 

On March 1, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in the JV (see Note 1). The JV is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by CG Labs. CG Labs contributed its existing converting and packaging division to the JV, including, but not limited to, its facilities, equipment, employees, and customers. The Company will contribute $500,000 to the JV, on a schedule to be determined, to be used for equipment and facility upgrades as well as general corporate purposes for the JV.

 

The JV is considered to be a VIE and we have consolidated the JV because we believe we are the primary beneficiary because we meet the Power and the Economics Criteria, as laid out in ASC 323.

 

The recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the formation of the JV based on their estimated fair values as of the March 1, 2023. The purchase price allocation is as follow ($ in thousands):

Non-controlling Interest in Joint Venture – Enigma

 

On January 6, 2023, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a newly formed JV (“Enigma”) to pursue branded consumer product retail opportunities and the development of new patch products. The JV agreement is effective January 6, 2023. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 50% of the JV, with the remaining 50% held by Moiety. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has contributed $20 thousand and $37 thousand has been contributed by the non-controlling interest portion of Enigma contributed business.

 

The JV is considered to be a VIE and we have consolidated the JV because we believe we are the primary beneficiary because we meet the Power and the Economics Criteria, as laid out in ASC 323.

 

The allocation of the purchase price to identifiable assets is based on the preliminary valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The measurement period for the valuation of net assets acquired ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates becomes available, but not to exceed 12 months following the acquisition date. Adjustments in purchase price allocations may require a change in the amounts allocated to net assets acquired during the periods in which the adjustments are determined.

At June 30, 2024, the Company has reserved common stock for issuance in relation to the following:

 

Share-based compensation plan   546,364 
Warrants to purchase common stock   3,713,519 
Restricted stock units   84,284 

 

On June 6, 2024, Company issued 5,000 common shares to a consultant valued at $9 thousand.

 

On February 15, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, entered into subscription agreements with investors, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and certain members of its board of directors for a RDO of the Company’s common stock. The RDO sold an aggregate 242,891 units at a price to the public of $4.22 per unit, with each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The $4.22 purchase price equals two times the last reported sale price of $2.11 per share of the Company’s common stock on February 15, 2024 on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company issued 485,782 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 242,891 shares of common stock.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, each of the warrants became exercisable on the Closing Date, with an exercise price of $4.00 per share and will expire five years after the Closing Date. The warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained in the registration statement is not available for, the issuance or resale of shares of common stock underlying the warrants to or by the holder. The holder of a warrant is prohibited from exercising of any such warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99%.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the RDO were $0.9 million, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the RDO for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company retained Alere Financial Partners, LLC (A division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC) to act as the placement agent for the RDO. The Company paid the placement agent a cash fee of 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the RDO received from non-affiliates of the Company and 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the RDO received from affiliates of the Company. Additionally, on the Closing Date, the Company issued to the placement agent warrants exercisable for a period of five years to purchase up to 6% of the number of shares sold in this offering, or up to 27,725 shares, at a per share exercise price of $4.00.

The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.49 to $5.25 per share at any time on or after their issuance date and on or prior to the close of business three years after the issuance date (the “Termination Date”). The Company determined that these warrants are free standing financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock included in the public share offering. Management also determined that the warrants required classification as a liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In accordance with the accounting guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as a warrant liability on the balance sheet and are measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The warrants outstanding and fair values at each of the respective valuation dates are summarized below:

 

Warrant Liability  Warrants Outstanding   Fair Value per Share   Fair Value 
Fair value as of year ended 12/31/2023   71,019        $146 
Fair value at initial measurement date   27,725   $2.01    56 
Change in fair value of warrant liability   -         (26)
Fair value as of year ended 6/30/2024   98,744        $176 

 

The following assumptions were used to calculate the warrant liability for six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

   2024   2023 
Exercise price  $2.80 to $5.25   $0.49 - $5.25 
Share price   $1.99 - $2.73   $1.28 
Volatility   113.39% - 283.32%   137.02 - 287.87%
Risk-free interest rate   4.21% - 5.09%   3.81 % - 4.74%
Dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%
Expected term   1.2 to 5.0 years    0.1 to 3.4 years 

 

The warrant liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities on the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair value includes various assumptions about of future activities and the Company’s stock prices and historical volatility of Guideline Public Companies as inputs.

Management of the Company has performed a review of events and transactions occurring after the condensed consolidated balance sheet date to determine if there were any such events or transactions requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, noting no such events or transactions except as set forth below:

 

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into subscription agreements with investors, certain members of its board of directors, and management for the sale by the Company of an aggregate of 222,000 units at a price to the public of $5.00 per unit (the “August Offering”), with each unit consisting of two shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.25 per share (the “August Warrants”). The closing of the August Offering is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur on or about August 14, 2024 (the “August Closing Date”). On or about the August Closing Date, the Company expects to issue 444,000 shares of common stock and issue August Warrants to purchase up to 222,000 shares of common stock

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, each of the August Warrants will become exercisable on the August Closing Date, will have an exercise price of $4.25 per share and will expire five years after the August Closing Date. The August Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained in the registration statement is not available for, the issuance or resale of shares of common stock underlying the August Warrants to or by the holder. The holder of an August Warrant is prohibited from exercising of any such warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99%.

 

Certain members of the Company’s board of directors and management have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 27,000 units in the August Offering. In connection with the August Offering, the members of board of directors and management purchasing units in the August Offering have agreed not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of securities relating to the units for a period of 180 days following the date of the prospectus used in the August Offering.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company from the August Offering are expected to be approximately $1.110 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the August Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the August Offering for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

  

The Company retained Alere Financial Partners, LLC (a division of Cova Capital Partners, LLC) to act as the placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the August Offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the August Offering received from non-affiliates of the Company and 4% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the August Offering received from affiliates of the Company. Additionally, and upon the closing of the August Offering, the Company agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants exercisable for a period of five years to purchase up to 8% of the number of shares sold in August Offering, or up to 33,360 shares, at a per share exercise price of $4.25.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include allowances for credit losses, inventory reserves, deferred taxes, share-based compensation and related valuation allowances and fair value of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

 

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

We have reclassified, combined or separately disclosed certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes to conform with the current year’s presentation.

 

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. The Company has two reportable segments - the NexGel segment and the “CGN” segment.

 

The NexGel segment is comprised of the manufacturing of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, which is based in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. The NexGel segment includes the Kenkoderm and Silly George recent acquisitions and the Enigma JV.

 

 

The “CGN” segment is comprised of the JV used for the Company’s converting and packaging business, which is based in Granbury, Texas.

 

Cash

Cash

 

Cash is comprised of cash in banks and highly liquid investments, including U.S. treasury bills purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as well as investments in money market funds for which the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturities of these investments.

 

Margin Line of Credit

Margin Line of Credit

 

The Company has a brokerage account through which it can buy and sell U.S. treasury bills. The provisions of the account allow us to borrow on certain securities held in the account and to purchase additional securities based on the account equity (including cash). Amounts borrowed are collateralized by the securities held in the account and bear interest at a negotiated rate payable monthly. Securities pledged to secure margin balances cannot be specifically identified as a portion of all securities held in a brokerage account are used as collateral. As of December 31, 2023, there was $245 thousand outstanding under this short-term credit line which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 11). The margin line credit line was repaid in January 2024 and there is no outstanding balance under the credit line as of June 30, 2024.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable and records a provision to the allowance for credit losses based on factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the customer’s payment history, the credit quality of the customer and other factors that may affect the customers’ ability to pay. Provisions to the allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for credit losses was $18 thousand as of June 30, 2024 and $11 thousand as of December 31, 2023.

 

Inventory and Cost of Revenues

Inventory and Cost of Revenues

 

The inventory balance is stated at the lower of cost, the value determined by the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, and shelf-life expiration. This evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales levels by product, projections of future demand, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for products, general market conditions, and a review of the shelf-life expiration dates for products. These factors determine when, and if, the Company adjusts the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value.

 

The Company produces proprietary branded products and white label opportunities in our manufacturing of consumer products. In our contract manufacturing, the Company builds its products based on customer orders and immediately ships the products upon completion of the production process.

 

The inventory balance is made up of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Inventory is maintained at the Company’s warehouses and at fulfilment centers owned by Amazon, Walmart and CVS.

 

The “Cost of revenues” line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations is comprised of the book value of inventory sold to customers during the reporting period. When circumstances dictate that we use net realizable value as the basis for recording inventory, we base our estimates on expected future selling prices less expected disposal costs.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Our research and development activities focus on new and innovative products designed to support revenue growth. Research and development expenses consist primarily of contracted development and testing efforts associated with development of products.

 

 

Shipping and Handling Revenue and Expense

Shipping and Handling Revenue and Expense

 

Shipping and handling revenue and expense are included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in revenues and cost of revenues, respectively. Shipping revenue and expense are primarily generated through the Amazon marketplace.

 

Property and Equipment, net

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease terms. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Management periodically assesses the estimated useful life over which assets are depreciated or amortized. If the analysis warrants a change in the estimated useful life of property and equipment, management will reduce the estimated useful life and depreciate or amortize the carrying value prospectively over the shorter remaining useful life.

 

The carrying amounts of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated in the year of disposal and any resulting gains and losses are included in the results of operations during the same year.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of the acquisition date or annually as of December 31, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets is compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

The Company performed the annual assessment and concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeds the carrying value and no impairments were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

 

Prepaid expenses and other current assets are recorded at historical cost and are primarily made up of $10 thousand and $64 thousand of prepaid insurance, and $458 thousand and $336 thousand general prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Other Assets

Other Assets

 

Other assets are recorded at historical costs, and as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance is primarily comprised of spare parts for manufacturing equipment. Spare parts are not subject to depreciation until such time that they are placed into service and the part that is being replaced is disposed.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy to apply fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair values that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

 

Level 1 —Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

The Company considers the carrying amounts of its financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to approximate fair value because of the short-term or highly liquid nature of these financial instruments.

 

Warrant Liability

Warrant Liability

 

Warrants to purchase common stock were issued in connection with equity financing raises, which occurred during 2019 through 2024. The fair values of the warrants are estimated as of the date of issuance and again at each year end using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. At issuance, the fair values of the warrant are recognized as an equity issuance cost within additional paid-in-capital. Fair value adjustments to the warrant liability are recognized in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

 

The Company currently recognizes revenue predominately from three sources, contract manufacturing, custom and white label finished goods manufacturing and our branded products. Revenues from manufactured products are recognized at the point where the customer obtains control of the goods and the Company satisfies its performance obligation, which generally is at the time the customer receives the product.

 

The Company’s customers consist of other life sciences companies and Amazon retail customers. Revenues are entirely concentrated in the United States. Payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and may differ by jurisdiction and customer but payment is generally required in a term ranging from 30 to 60 days from date of shipment.

 

Estimates for product returns, allowances and discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue and are established at the time of sale. Returns are estimated through a comparison of historical return data and are determined for each product and adjusted for known or expected changes in the marketplace specific to each product, when appropriate. Historically, sales return provisions have not been material. Amounts accrued for sales allowances and discounts are based on estimates of amounts that are expected to be claimed on the related sales and are based on historical data. Payments for allowances and discounts have historically been immaterial.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any contract assets or contract liabilities from contracts with customers and there were no remaining performance obligations that the Company had not satisfied except for deferred revenue of $179 thousand and $20 thousand at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, that the Company had not satisfied as of the end of the respective period.

 

The Company has four distinct lines of business; Contract Manufacturing, Custom and White Label, Branded Consumer Products, and Medical Devices/Other.

 

Contract Manufacturing

 

Customers order rolls of gel (“rollstock”). The rollstock is shipped to our customers, which they package into finished goods. Historically, this has been the Company’s primary source of revenue.

 

Custom and White Label

 

These products often infuse various ingredients into our base gel to develop unique product offerings to satisfy market demand (e.g. aloe infused into the gel for a beauty mask). The rollstock is converted and packaged into saleable units. The finished goods are shipped to the customer, who is ultimately responsible for product distribution. Frequently these products started as development deals, in which the customer paid the Company a small fee to develop a specific product. Once completed, the customer places a large order for newly developed product.

 

Branded Consumer Products

 

These products are finished goods marketed and sold directly to the customer by the Company through online and retail channels. The Company is responsible for sales, marketing, and distribution. These products carry the Company’s brand names, which include Medagel, Lumagel Beauty, Kenkoderm and Silly George.

 

Medical Devices

 

Medical Devices are a hybrid business, combining elements of Custom and White Label and Branded Consumer Products. Medical Devices, which are not yet marketed, are expected to be distributed through strategic partnerships. The Company will manufacture and possibly convert/package the device while the strategic partner brings the product to market. Small market Medical Devices could be launched by the Company, but also be offered to a distributor to reach the full scale of the market.

 

Share-based Compensation

Share-based Compensation

 

On August 28, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2019 Plan”). See Note 13 below for further details regarding the 2019 Plan.

 

 

The 2019 Plan provides certain employees, contractors, and outside directors with share-based compensation in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other awards. The fair values of incentive stock option award grants are estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Compensation expense is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

 

Tax benefits are recognized from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority and based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, is presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed.

 

Leases

Leases

 

ASC 842, Leases, requires recognition of leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. A number of the lease agreements contain options to renew and options to terminate the leases early. The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.

 

The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, and unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the year when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all property leases for the purposes of calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities.

 

Variable Interest Entity

Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company reviews each legal entity formed by parties related to the Company to determine whether or not the Company has a variable interest in the entity and whether or not the entity would meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. In assessing whether the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company considers and makes judgements regarding the purpose and design of the entity, the value of the licensed assets to the entity, the value of the entity’s total assets and the significant activities of the entity. If the Company has a variable interest in the entity as a whole, the Company assesses whether or not the Company is a primary beneficiary of that VIE, based on a number of factors, including: (i) which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, (ii) the parties’ contractual rights and responsibilities pursuant to the collaboration agreement, and (iii) which party has the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

 

 

If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the onset of the collaboration, the collaboration is treated as a business combination and the Company consolidates the financial statements of the VIE into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the Company will evaluate whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary of the consolidated VIE. If the Company determines that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE, it deconsolidates the VIE in the period in which the determination is made.

 

Assets and liabilities recorded as a result of consolidating the financial results of the VIE into the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against the Company’s general assets or liabilities for which creditors have recourse to the Company’s general assets.

 

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss

 

Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and changes in equity during the period from transactions and other equity and circumstances generated from non-owner sources. The Company’s net loss equals comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU’) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. ASU 2016-13 will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023 and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this new standard during the year ended December 31, 2023 and it did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires additional disclosures on income tax expense and taxes paid, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced income tax related disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU includes amendments that expand the existing reportable segment disclosure requirements and requires disclosure of (i) significant expense categories and amounts by reportable segment as well as the segment’s profit or loss measure(s) that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance; (ii) how the CODM uses each reported segment profit or loss measure to allocate resources and assess performance; (iii) the nature of other segment balances contributing to reported segment profit or loss that are not captured within segment revenues or expenses; and (iv) the title and position of the individual or name of the group or committee identified as the CODM. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will result in the Company being required to include enhanced disclosures relating to its reportable segments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
