GREAT BASIN SCIENTIFIC, INC.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Great Basin Scientific, Inc. (the “Company”) (d.b.a., Great Basin Corporation) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company was originally incorporated as Diagnostic Micro Arrays, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on June 27, 2003. The Company changed its name to Great Basin Scientific, Inc. on April 19, 2006. On August 12, 2008, the Company took steps to change its corporate domicile from Nevada to Delaware by forming Great Basin Scientific, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and on August 29, 2008, Great Basin Scientific, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was merged with and into Great Basin Scientific, Inc., a Delaware corporation, wherein the Delaware corporation was the sole surviving entity.

The Company is a molecular diagnostic testing company focused on improving patient care through the development and commercialization of its patented, molecular diagnostic platform designed to test for infectious disease, especially hospital-acquired infections. The Company’s focus is mainly on small to medium sized hospital laboratories, those under 400 beds, that are shifting from traditional testing methods to molecular methods of diagnosis. The Company’s platform includes an analyzer, which is provided for customers’ use without charge in the United States, and a diagnostic test cartridge, which is sold to customers. This platform combines both affordability and ease-of-use when compared to other commercially available molecular testing methods, which allows small to medium sized hospitals that traditionally could not afford more expensive molecular diagnostic systems to modernize their laboratory testing and provide better patient care. The Company currently has one commercially available test, a diagnostic test for clostridium difficile, or C. diff, which received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in April of 2012. We have developed a Group B Strep assay for which we received FDA clearance in April 2015 and plan to launch commercially in the second quarter of 2015. We began a clinical trial for a Staph ID/R assay for blood infections caused by Staphylococcus bacteria in the fourth quarter of 2014 and we began a clinical trial for our Shiga toxin producing E. coli assay in the first quarter of 2015. Additionally, we have three other assays in product development: (i) a pre-surgical nasal screen for Staphylococcus aureus, or SA, (ii) a food borne pathogen panel, and (iii) a panel for candida blood infections.

 

 

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared to reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The accompanying condensed financial statements and notes are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2015 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants. The number of potential common shares outstanding is computed using the treasury stock method.

As the Company has incurred losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are thus not added into the loss per share calculations. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were 38,838,974 and 2,665,084 potentially dilutive shares, respectively.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 5, 2014, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock whereby each two hundred shares of common stock was replaced with one share of common stock (with no fractional shares issued).  The par value and authorized shares of the common stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split.  All common shares, options, warrants and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The update is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The impact on the Company’s financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-15 is currently being assessed by management.

 

 

NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN

The Company’s condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company has positive working capital of $16.8 million and a cash balance of $20.6 million as of March 31, 2015, the Company has incurred substantial losses from operations and negative operating cash flows which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company sustained a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $71.2 million and a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $21.7 million, and has an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million as of March 31, 2015. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations is uncertain.

The Company intends to continue to develop its products and expand its customer base, but does not have sufficient realized revenues or operating cash flows in order to finance these activities internally.  As a result, the Company has obtained and intends to continue to obtain financing in order to fund its working capital and development needs. In March 2015 the Company obtained financing by completing a follow-on offering for net proceeds of $21.7 million.

The Company has been able to meet its short-term needs through private placements of convertible preferred securities, an initial public offering (“IPO”), a follow-on offering and the sale and leaseback of analyzers used to report test results. The Company will continue to seek funding through the issuance of additional equity securities, debt financing, the sale and leaseback of analyzers, or a combination of these items. Any proceeds received from these items could provide the needed funds for continued operations and development programs. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain sufficient additional financing that it needs to alleviate doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is able to obtain sufficient additional financing proceeds, the Company cannot be certain that this additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financings, the impact on the Company’s operations will be material and adverse.

NOTE 5 NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

In July 2014, the Company entered into a note agreement for $500,000 with Spring Forth Investments, LLC a company owned by Mr. David Spafford, a director. The maturity date for the note is July 18, 2015.  The note pays interest at an annual rate of 20% and shall be paid monthly. The Company may extend the due date of the note to July 18, 2016 by giving notice no later than April 18, 2015 and paying an extension fee of $10,000. The Company prepaid the last three months of interest for a total of $25,000 at the time of issuance of the note.  As additional consideration for the note, the Company issued 4,000,000 Series D preferred stock units (which are separable into 4,000,000 shares of Series D preferred stock, 20,000 Class A warrants to purchase a share of common stock at $4.92 and  20,000 Class B warrants to purchase a share of common stock at $0.20) at a value of $100,000 or $0.025 per unit. On the date of the IPO, the 4,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted into 20,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion ratio of 200 to 1. The Series D preferred stock units were accounted as a debt discount to be amortized over the life of the note.  As of March 31, 2015 the unamortized debt discount was $33,333. In April 2015, the Company extended the due date of the note to July 18, 2016 by giving notice and paying the extension fee of $10,000.

In February 2015, the Company entered into another loan agreement for $250,000 with Spring Forth Investments, LLC. The loan bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per year and has a maturity date of the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date of the loan agreement, or (ii) five days after the closing of a registered public offering of securities of the Company. Upon the earlier to occur of the maturity date or the prepayment of the loan, the Company will be obligated to pay a termination fee equal to five percent (5%) of the principal balance of the loan. Payment of the principal balance of the loan plus any accrued interest due and payable may be accelerated upon an event of default by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the loan agreement. In April 2015, the Company paid off the note along with the accrued interest and termination fee.

 

 

NOTE 6 PREFERRED STOCK

In March 2015, the Company completed a follow-on public offering by selling 2,724,000 units at a price of $8.80 per unit for net proceeds of $21.7 million after deducting underwriting commissions and offering costs.  Each unit consists of one share of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and eight Series C Warrants (the “Units”).  

The shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series C Warrants will automatically separate on August 25, 2015. However, the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series C Warrants will separate prior to August 25, 2015 if at any time after 30 days from February 25, 2015 the closing price of our common stock is greater than $4.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days (the “Separation Trigger Date”). We refer to this separation herein as Early Separation. In the event of Early Separation, the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series C Warrants will become separable 15 days after the Separation Trigger Date.

 

Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into four common shares upon the earlier of (i) August 25, 2015, or (ii) 15 days after the Separation Trigger Date in the event of Early Separation. The Series E Convertible Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except that the holders of shares of at least a majority of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock will be able to effect or validate any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Designation that materially and adversely affects the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, whether by merger or consolidation or otherwise; providedhowever, that in the event of an amendment to terms of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, including by merger or consolidation, so long as the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock remains outstanding with

the terms thereof materially unchanged, or the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into, preference securities of the surviving entity, or its ultimate parent, with such powers, preferences or special rights, taken as a whole, not materially less favorable to the holders of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock than the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, taken as a whole, the occurrence of such event will not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, and in such case such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the occurrence of such events. An amendment to the terms of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock only requires the vote of the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.

With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation or dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series E Preferred Stock shall rank equal to the common stock of the Company. No sinking fund has been established for the retirement or redemption of the Convertible Preferred Stock. As such, the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock is not subject to any restriction on the repurchase or redemption of shares by the Company due to an arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.

 

The Series E Convertible Preferred Stock also has no liquidation rights or preemption rights, and there are no special classifications of our Board of Directors related to the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.

NOTE 7 COMMON STOCK

 

The Company had 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized at a par value of $0.001 per share and 5,126,458 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2015.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the company issued 40,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of 40,000 Series A Warrants for proceeds of $88,000 or $2.20 per share.  In conjunction with the exercise of the Series A Warrants, 40,000 Series B Warrants to purchase shares of common stock were also issued.

 

 

NOTE 8 WARRANTS

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had 27,239,940 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of common stock comprised of 2,041,239 Class A Warrants, 1,645,845 Class B Warrants, 1,282,500 Series A Warrants, 40,000 Series B Warrants, 21,792,000 Series C Warrants and 438,356 Common Warrants.

In March 2015, the Company issued Series C Warrants to purchase 21,792,000 shares of common stock as part of the Units sold in the follow-on offering (see NOTE 6 PREFERRED STOCK). The Series C Warrants have an exercise price of $2.55 and will expire on February 25, 2020. The Series C Warrants will not be exercisable until they separate from the Units upon the earlier of (i) August 25, 2015, or (ii) 15 days after the Separation Trigger Date in the event of Early Separation. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock and the exercise price.

The Series C Warrants have a cashless exercise provision where in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, the holder may receive, at the Company’s discretion, either a cash payment of a predetermined Black Scholes Value of the number of shares the holder elects to exercise, or a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined according to a cashless exercise formula using the predetermined Black Scholes Value.

In March 2015, the Company issued 40,000 Series B Warrants to purchase common stock pursuant to the exercise of 40,000 Series A Warrants for proceeds of $88,000 or $2.20 per share.  The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $8.75 and expire six years from date of issue.  The Series B Warrants have an exercise price adjustment provision that in the event the Company sells shares of any additional common stock or securities convertible into common stock, subject to certain exceptions, at a price per share less than the original exercise price of the warrant, the exercise price shall be adjusted to a price equal to the price paid per share for such additional common stock or securities.

Common Warrant Derivative Liability

Our Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and certain common warrants, which in total comprise 5,045,584 warrants outstanding, have an exercise price adjustment provision that in the event the Company sells shares of any additional stock, subject to certain exceptions, at a price per share less than the original exercise price of the respective warrant, the exercise price shall be adjusted to a price equal to the price paid per share for such additional stock. Such exercise price adjustment prohibits the Company from being able to conclude that the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly, these warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities and are recorded at fair value at each reporting date with the change in fair value being recorded in earnings for the period. In March 2015, as a result of the follow-on offering, the price adjustment provision was triggered for our Class A Warrants, Series A Warrants and certain common warrants. The exercise price was adjusted for these warrants from an original exercise price of $4.92, $7.00, and $5.00 respectively, to a new exercise price of $2.20.

Our Series C Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision using a predetermined Black Scholes Value. Such provision, if exercised by the holder, would require the company to settle these warrants, at its option, either by cash payment or the granting of a variable number of common shares.  This provision results in the potential for the Company to either have to net cash settle the warrant or potentially issue an indeterminate number of common shares which prohibits the Company from being able to conclude that the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock.  Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities and are recorded at fair value at inception and at each reporting date.  Since the derivative liability is required to be measured at fair value, the excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received at the transaction date is recognized as a loss in earnings. Had the cashless exercise provision been exercised by all holders of our Series C Warrants at March 31, 2015, the Company would have had to either pay $48.5 million in cash or issue 17,774,720 shares of common stock.  The number of shares of common stock that would be required to satisfy the cashless exercise provision increases as the price of the Company’s stock decreases and decreases as the price of the Company’s stock increases.

The derivative liability for warrants classified as derivative liabilities was revalued at March 31, 2015 and the change in the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was included as a component of Other income (expense). The change in fair value of the warrant derivative liability has no effect on the Company’s cash flows. The Company estimates the fair value of the warrants at inception and at each reporting date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model utilizing the fair value of underlying common stock and has determined the fair value measurement to be a level 3 measurement (see NOTE 10 FAIR VALUE). Black-Scholes has inherent limitations for use in the case of a warrant with a price protection provision, since the model is designed to be used when the inputs to the model are static throughout the life of a security. The estimates in the modified Black-Scholes option-pricing model are based, in part, on assumptions, including but not limited to stock price volatility, the contractual life of the warrants, the risk free rate and the fair value of the equity stock underlying the warrants.

The following are the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes method for calculating the fair value of the warrants that are considered derivative liabilities at March 31, 2015:

NOTE 10 FAIR VALUE

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under FASB ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, with the first two inputs considered observable and the last input considered unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

·

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

·

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

·

Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company issued certain warrants to purchase common stock that qualify as derivative liabilities and are therefore required to be recorded at fair value measured at the transaction date and again at each reporting period end. The fair value of the warrants was determined using estimates and assumptions that are not readily available in public markets and the Company has designated this liability as Level 3. The assumptions used for the fair value calculation as well as the changes in the value of the warrant liability are shown in NOTE 8 WARRANTS.

 

 

NOTE 11 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not currently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceeding or regulatory or government investigations. We may become involved in litigation from time to time relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such claims would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

 

NOTE 12 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our results of operations and our financial condition. Our condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material. Certain statements in this discussion may be forward-looking. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information and constitute “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the reasons described in our “Risk Factors,” and “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations” sections. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “depends,” “estimate,” “expects,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of those terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain those words.

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K, regarding, among other things:

·

our expectation that for the foreseeable future, substantially all of our revenue will be derived from sales of our C. diff diagnostic test;

·

our ability to expand our sales and marketing capabilities to increase demand for C. diff and any other diagnostic tests we may develop and gain approval for;

·

our ability to develop additional revenue opportunities, including new diagnostic tests;

·

the timing of regulatory submissions;

·

our ability to maintain regulatory approval of our current diagnostic test and to obtain and maintain regulatory approval for any other diagnostic test we may develop;

·

approvals for clinical trials may be delayed or withheld by regulatory agencies;

·

pre-clinical and clinical studies may not be successful or confirm earlier results or may not meet expectations, regulatory requirements or performance thresholds for commercial success;

·

risks relating to the timing and costs of clinical trials and other expenses;

·

management and employee operations and execution risks;

·

loss of key personnel;

·

competition in the markets we serve;

·

our ability to manufacture our C. diff diagnostic test at sufficient volumes to meet customer needs;

·

our ability to reduce the cost to manufacture our C. diff diagnostic test;

·

risks related to market acceptance of diagnostic tests;

·

intellectual property risks;

·

assumptions regarding the size of the available market, benefits of our diagnostic tests, product pricing and timing of product launches;

·

our ability to fund our working capital requirements;

·

risks associated with the uncertainty of future financial results;

13

 


 

·

risks associated with raising additional capital when needed and at reasonable terms; and

·

risks associated with our reliance on third party suppliers and other organizations that provide goods and services to us.

These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Form 10-Q may include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Form 10-Q or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference and have filed as exhibits with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Overview of our Business

We are a molecular diagnostic testing company. We are focused on improving patient care through the development and commercialization of our patented, low-cost, molecular diagnostic platform for testing for infectious disease, especially hospital-acquired infections. We believe our platform has the ability to transform molecular testing for infectious diseases at small to medium sized hospitals by providing an affordable solution that meets the rapidly evolving needs of patients and providers.

We believe there is a fast-growing market for molecular diagnostic systems being purchased by hospital microbiology labs to replace culture and other legacy testing formats. We believe our platform is well positioned to meet this need. Our platform provides results in 45 to 115 minutes depending on the test. Molecular testing generally reduces test time from days to hours, and provides more accurate results, leading to shortened hospital stays and improved patient outcomes, all of which leads to reduced cost for hospitals that implement molecular testing in their labs.

Our platform is an automated molecular diagnostic system, consisting of an analyzer and associated assay cartridge. Our platform utilizes a sample-to-result format, which means that once a patient specimen is received, it undergoes limited processing before it is placed in the analyzer where the assay is run without further technician intervention. This reduces assay complexity and eliminates the need for highly trained and expensive molecular technicians to run the tests. Our platform is designed to enable simple, rapid and cost-effective analysis of multiple pathogens from a single clinical sample, which will allow small to medium sized community hospitals that traditionally could not afford more expensive or complex molecular diagnostic testing platforms to modernize their laboratory testing and provide better patient care at an affordable cost.

In November 2012, we launched our first FDA-cleared test for C. diff, a bacteria that causes life-threatening gastro-intestinal distress in hospital patients. We currently sell our diagnostic test cartridge in the United States through a direct sales force and we use distributors in the European Union and New Zealand. As of March 31, 2015, we had 123 customers worldwide (101 in the United States and 22 in the rest of the world), who use an aggregate of 258 analyzers. Our easy to use platform allows small to medium sized hospitals that we believe could not previously afford more expensive or complex molecular diagnostic systems to modernize their laboratory testing and provide better patient care at an affordable cost.

In addition to our C. diff assay, we have developed a Group B Strep assay for which we received FDA clearance in April 2015 and plan to launch commercially in the second quarter of 2015. We began a clinical trial for a Staph ID/R assay for blood infections caused by Staphylococcus bacteria in the fourth quarter of 2014. We also began a clinical trial for our Shiga toxin producing E. coli assay in the first quarter of 2015. Additionally, we have three other assays in product development: (i) a pre-surgical nasal screen for Staphylococcus aureus, or SA, (ii) a food borne pathogen panel, and (iii) a panel for candida blood infections.

Since inception, we have incurred net losses from operations each year and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Our losses attributable to operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 were approximately $21.7 million and $71.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to become the leading provider of sample-to-result, multiplex and low-plex molecular diagnostic testing in infectious disease by leveraging the strengths of our affordable diagnostic testing platform. We intend to expand the use of our platform by targeting small to medium sized hospitals in the United States with fewer than 400 beds. We believe that our low-cost platform will be attractive to these hospitals in particular, which may not otherwise have sufficient resources to justify the purchase of a molecular diagnostic sample-to-result solution. To achieve this objective, we intend to do the following:

Leverage our Low-Cost Platform to Quickly Penetrate the Small and Medium Sized Hospital Market.    We provide our customers with our analyzer at no cost and sell them the disposable, single-use diagnostic cartridges. This allows us to avoid the long sales cycle inherent in selling capital equipment and expand into hospitals that previously could not afford to implement a molecular diagnostic platform.

Accelerate the Growth of our U.S. Customer Base.    With the proceeds from our initial public offering (our “IPO”) and our follow-on offering, we intend to expand our sales force to target small to medium hospitals in the United States. We anticipate that increasing our number of customers will drive sales of our diagnostic cartridges. We expect these sales will generate the majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future.

Expand our Menu of Molecular Diagnostic Assays.    We intend to expand our assay menu to include the six additional assays currently approved by the FDA or in development which include a broad menu of molecular diagnostic assays for our platform that will satisfy growing medical needs and present attractive commercial opportunities. For example, we received FDA clearance for our Group B Strep test in April 2015 and started our clinical trials for our Staph ID/R panel during the fourth quarter of 2014, and our Shiga toxin producing E. coli test during the first quarter of 2015. We also have a pipeline of assays in late stage product development, including pre-surgical screening, food-borne pathogens and candida.

Reduce our Cost of Sales through Automation and Volume Purchasing.    We manufacture our proprietary diagnostic cartridges and analyzers at our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. We currently hand-build our diagnostic cartridges and purchase materials at higher per unit cost due to low purchase volumes. We believe that investment in automation of portions of the manufacturing and assembly process and volume purchase pricing will significantly improve our gross margins and enhance our ability to provide a low cost solution to customers.

Results of Operations

The following presents an overview of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014

Revenue

Revenue increased by $109,595, or 31.4% to $458,730 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $349,135 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was attributable to the number of customers in the U.S. increasing to 101 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 71 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased $119,636, or 14.1%, in the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $966,593 as compared to $846,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is due mainly to an increase of $60,708 in depreciation on additional analyzers needed to support the increase in customers and a $58,928 increase in costs associated with manufacturing additional C. diff assays to meet the increased demand for our product. The negative gross margin decreased from 142.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to 110.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to the decrease in the cost of our C. diff assays due to increased production that allowed for economies of scale and the allocation of fixed costs over a greater number of units.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $689,321, or 84.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $1,503,558 as compared to $814,237 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  This increase is the result of continuing to ramp up efforts to prepare our next diagnostic tests for clinical trials and FDA approval. The increase was due to an increase of $335,674 in salaries and

wages, $257,242 in research and development materials and the usage of finished cartridges for testing and a $96,405 net increase in all other research and development expenses.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses increased $171,876, or 27.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $806,118 as compared to $634,242 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was due to an increase of $203,877 in salaries and wages primarily due to sales commissions, and an increase of $41,179 in travel costs partially offset by a $64,344 decrease in promotional cartridges and a $8,846 net decrease in all other selling and administrative expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $454,657, or 75.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $1,060,652 as compared to $605,995 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  This increase is the result of increased business activities due to being a public company and the preparation for our follow-on offering. The increase was primarily due to a $231,367 increase in salaries and wages and board of director fees, a $112,195 increase in professional fees, and a $109,202 increase in insurance premiums related to additional insurance necessary for a public company and a $1,893 net increase in all other general and administrative expenses.

(Gain) loss on Sale of Assets

There was no gain or loss on the sale of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as we did not have any sales of analyzer fixed assets outside the U.S. The gain on sale of assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $8,166.  

Interest Income

Interest income did not change significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $112,973, or 58.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $305,582 as compared to $192,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  This increase is due to the addition of our second analyzer sale-leaseback agreement with the associated increase in interest incurred on these capital lease payments and interest on our related party note payable.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability  

The change in fair value of derivative liability resulted in a non-cash expense in the amount of $66,994,149 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  This is the result of a $55,599,889 charge we were required to record for the derivative liability on the Series C warrants offered as part of the follow-on offering and $11,440,122 due to the increase in the fair value of Series A, Series B, Class A, Class B and certain other common warrants as a result of the increase in the value of our common stock during the period. As of March 31, 2014, there were no warrants that required the recording of a derivative liability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations to date primarily with net proceeds from our IPO, our follow-on public offering, sales of our preferred stock, convertible notes, and revenues from operations. As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, we had approximately $2.0 million and $20.6 million, respectively, in cash.  The cash on hand will be used to finance the continued growth in product sales, to invest in further product development and to otherwise satisfy obligations as they mature.

In March 2015, the Company completed a follow-on public offering, whereby the Company sold 2,724,000 units at a price of $8.80 per unit for net proceeds of $21.7 million after deducting underwriting commissions and offering costs.  Each unit consists of one share of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into four shares of common stock) and eight Series C Warrants.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $3,590,707. The net loss of $71,173,625 was partially offset by other non-cash items of $66,994,149 for the increase in the change in fair value of derivative liability, $339,593 for the increase in depreciation and amortization and $43,720 net increase in all other non-cash items. The change in operating assets and liabilities offset the net loss by another $205,456 due to a $495,060 increase in accrued liabilities relating mainly to payroll and interest, offset by a $181,741 increase in prepaid deposits on our long lead time analyzer parts and $107,863 net increase in all other operating assets and liabilities.  

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1,786,142. The net loss of $2,741,913 was offset by the non-cash items of a $255,373 increase for depreciation and amortization and a $7,773 net increase in all other non-cash items. The change in operating assets and liabilities offset the net loss by another $692,625 due to a $748,823 increase in accounts payable related to the growth in our operations and the timing of payments and a $156,805 increase in accrued liabilities relating mainly to payroll, interest and royalties, which were offset by a $120,071 increase in inventory and a $92,932 increase in accounts receivable and prepaid and other assets.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $161,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and was related to the acquisition of capital equipment in the amount of $83,566 and the costs associated with the construction of equipment in the amount of $77,769. Cash used in investing activities was $304,044 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and was related to the cost of the construction of our analyzer equipment totaling $314,180, capital expenditures totaling $24,864 partially offset by proceeds from sale of assets of $35,000.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $22,322,580 was from the proceeds in the amount of $22,154,639 from the sale of units in our follow-on offering, proceeds of $250,000 from related party notes payable and $88,000 in proceeds from the exercise of warrants partially offset by $170,059 in payments made on capital leases and notes payable. Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $1,027,908 was from the proceeds of $790,000 from related party notes and convertible notes payable and other notes payable offset by $128,342 in payments made on capital leases and notes payable.

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months and our ability to continue as a going concern

The Company’s condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company has positive working capital of $16.8 million and a cash balance of $20.6 million as of March 31, 2015, the Company has incurred substantial losses from operations and negative operating cash flows which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company sustained a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $71.2 million and a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $21.7 million, and has an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million as of March 31, 2015. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations is uncertain.

The Company intends to continue to develop its products and expand its customer base, but does not have sufficient realized revenues or operating cash flows in order to finance these activities internally.  As a result, the Company has obtained and intends to continue to obtain financing in order to fund its working capital and development needs. In March 2015 the Company obtained financing by completing a follow-on offering for net proceeds of $21.7 million.

The Company has been able to meet its short-term needs through private placements of convertible preferred securities, an initial public offering (“IPO”), a follow-on offering and the sale and leaseback of analyzers used to report test results. The Company will continue to seek funding through the issuance of additional equity securities, debt financing, the sale and leaseback of analyzers, or a combination of these items. Any proceeds received from these items could provide the needed funds for continued operations and development programs. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain sufficient additional financing that it needs to alleviate doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is able to obtain sufficient additional financing proceeds, the Company cannot be certain that this additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financings, the impact on the Company’s operations will be material and adverse.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our judgments, including those related to inventories, receivables, recoverability of long-lived assets and the fair value of our preferred and common stock and related instruments. We use historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for our judgments and making these estimates. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in those estimates will be reflected in our financial statements as they occur. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the footnotes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are most critical to a full understanding and evaluation of our reported financial results. The critical accounting policies addressed below reflect our most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

As an emerging growth company, we have elected to opt-in to the extended transition period for new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenue from the sale of single use assays sold through our dedicated sales force in the United States, and through a network of distributors in the European Union and New Zealand. Revenue is recognized when all four of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of the products has occurred; (3) the selling price of the product is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability of that price is reasonably assured. Change in title to the product and recognition of revenue from sales of assays occurs at the time of shipment.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are generated from the sale of assays to end users in the United States and to a network of distributors outside the United States. These accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful amounts. We routinely review outstanding accounts receivable balances for estimated uncollectible accounts and establish or adjust the allowances for doubtful accounts receivable using the specific identification method and records a reserve for amounts not expected to be fully recovered. Actual balances are not applied against the reserve until substantially all collection efforts have been exhausted. We do not have customer acceptance provisions, but we provide our customers a limited right of return for defective assays.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined according to the average cost method. Manufactured inventory consists of raw material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead cost components. We review the components of our inventory on a regular basis for excess and obsolete inventory and make appropriate adjustments when necessary. We have made adjustments to, and it is reasonably possible that we may be required to make further adjustments to, the carrying value of inventory in future periods.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived tangible assets, including property and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We regularly evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment and rely on a number of factors, including expected future operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. We use an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows and comparisons to like-kind assets, as appropriate, of the related asset over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including cost-based, market and income approaches as considered necessary. We amortize intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Our long-lived assets include our analyzers used by hospitals in the United States to run the assays they buy from us. There are no contractual terms with respect to the usage of our analyzers by our customers. Hospitals are under no contractual commitment to use our analyzers. We maintain ownership of these analyzers and, when requested, we can remove the analyzers from the customer’s site. We do not currently charge for the use of our analyzers and there are no minimum purchase commitments of our assays. As our analyzer is used numerous times over several years, often by many different customers, analyzers are capitalized as property and equipment once they have been placed in service. Once placed in service, analyzers are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on average estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life of our analyzers is determined based on a variety of factors including in reference to associated product life cycles, and average 5 years. As analyzers are integral to the performance of our diagnostic test, depreciation of analyzers is recognized as a cost of sales. For those analyzers that are used in research and development, depreciation is recognized as a research and development cost. Analyzer depreciation expense was $236,348 and $162,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Analyzers used outside the United States are sold to the customer and the sale is accounted for as a sale of fixed assets. Since inception, the Company has not focused nor placed significant emphasis on developing international markets for the Company’s product. The Company has never had an international sales force and has never manufactured analyzers specifically for international markets. Over the past two years on occasion, small, international sales opportunities have come along through international distributors. The analyzers that were sold to them were part of the fixed asset pool of analyzers the Company has, and many of these specific analyzers had been previously placed at customer locations within the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 there were no analyzers sold to international distributors. For the year ended December 31, 2014 these opportunities represented 4% of the total analyzers built during this period. Sale of the fixed asset analyzers in these limited international opportunities have not been based on established product price listings as no such listing exists or has been publicly marketed to customers; instead, the final sales price has been a negotiated amount based on the sale of a functioning fixed asset analyzer, whether or not that analyzer was previously used at another customer site. Similar to other fixed asset sales, there were no stated or implied warranties or other continuing service requirements made with the sale of these assets. For these limited situations, management has elected to sell the fixed asset analyzers as opposed to placing them with international customers (thereby not retaining title over the analyzers) as it would be impractical for us to retain ownership due to, among other reasons, the Company lacking the necessary personnel needed to service international customers, the need to comply with the additional laws and regulations of countries outside the United States to which the Company is not currently subject, and the added costs to recover, reconfigure, ship and redeploy fixed asset analyzers that have been used internationally.

Income Taxes

We are required to determine the aggregate amount of income tax expense or loss based upon tax statutes in jurisdictions in which we conduct business. In making these estimates, we adjust our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for items that are treated differently by the applicable taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from these differences are reflected on our balance sheet for temporary differences in loss and credit carryforwards that will reverse in subsequent years. We also establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances are based, in part, on predictions that management must make as to our results in future periods. The outcome of events could differ over time which would require that we make changes in our valuation allowance.

The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. We examined the tax positions taken in tax returns and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result, we recorded no uncertain tax liabilities in our balance sheet.

Stock Based Compensation

We measure and recognize compensation expense for stock options granted to our employees and directors, based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. Historically, for all periods prior to our IPO, the fair values of the shares of common stock underlying our stock-based awards were estimated on each grant date by our board of directors. In order to determine the fair value of our common stock underlying option grants, our board of directors considered, among other things, contemporaneous valuations of our common stock prepared by an unrelated third-party valuation firm in accordance with the guidance provided by the Statements of Standards for Valuation Services No. 1 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. The fair value is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award on a straight-line basis. Our board of directors determines the fair value of each share of underlying common stock based on the closing price of our common stock as reported by the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date of grant.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act, provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. Presently, we are an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act. We are electing to delay such adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of other public companies. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.

We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, (1) providing an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and (2) complying with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis. We may be able to remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more, (b) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our IPO, (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous three years or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we have elected not to provide the disclosures required by this item.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2015. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015, 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 not currently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceeding or regulatory or government investigations. We may become involved in litigation from time to time relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such claims would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and trading price of our common stock. Please refer also to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information concerning these and other uncertainties that could negatively impact the Company.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Use of Proceeds

 

Use of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering

 

On October 8, 2014, the SEC declared effective our IPO registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-197954) related to 1,150,000 shares of common stock and 1,150,000 Series A Warrants, which were sold in combinations of one share of common stock and one Series A Warrant at a public offering price of $7.00 per unit; however, as a result of the offering of units by the Company on February 25, 2015, the Series A Warrants are now exercisable at an exercise price of $2.20 per share. Each Series A Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock and one Series B Warrant. In addition, the managing underwriter, Dawson James Securities, Inc. exercised its option to purchase 172,500 Series A Warrants. The IPO commenced on October 8, 2014 and has not yet terminated. As of May 8, 2015, 821,122 Series A Warrants have been exercised, none of which were exercised on a cashless basis. No Series B Warrants have been exercised.

 

The aggregate sale price for securities sold at the initial closing of the IPO is $8,050,000. The aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the IPO was approximately $6.4 million after deducting total expenses of approximately $1,650,000, including approximately $644,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $1,006,000 in other expenses payable by the Company. Since the initial closing of the IPO the Company has received $1.8 million in additional net proceeds from the exercise of Series A Warrants, for total net proceeds from the offering in the amount of $8.2 million.

 

None of the underwriting discounts and commissions or offering expenses were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers or their associates or to persons owning 10% or more of our common stock or to any of our affiliates.

 

As of May 13, 2015, approximately $6.4 million of the $8.2 million of total net proceeds from our IPO had been used. We intend to use the remaining $1.8 million for general corporate purposes. We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from our IPO. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds from our IPO for other purposes than those described in our final prospectus.
