VENUS CONCEPT INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, unless otherwise noted, except share and per share data)

 

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Venus Concept Inc. is a global medical technology company that develops, commercializes, and sells minimally invasive and non-invasive medical aesthetic and hair restoration technologies and related services. The Company’s systems have been designed on cost-effective, proprietary and flexible platforms that enable it to expand beyond the aesthetic industry’s traditional markets of dermatology and plastic surgery, and into non-traditional markets, including family and general practitioners and aesthetic medical spas. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 22, 2002. In these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the “Company” and “Venus Concept”, refer to Venus Concept Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

 

Going Concern

 

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

 

The Company has had recurring net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of  June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $199,583 and $180,405, respectively. The Company was in compliance with all required covenants as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The Company’s recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. While the Company's business has improved and management expects this momentum to continue through the balance of 2022, the Company is still recovering from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19" or "pandemic"). As of  June 30, 2022, and for the six months then ended management expects the pandemic to continue to have a negative impact in the foreseeable future, the extent of which is uncertain and largely subject to whether the severity of the pandemic worsens, or duration lengthens. In the event that the pandemic and the economic disruptions it has caused continue for an extended period of time, the Company cannot assure that it will remain in compliance with the financial covenants contained within its credit facilities. 

 

In order to continue its operations, the Company must achieve profitable operations and/or obtain additional equity or debt financing. Until the Company achieves profitability, management plans to fund its operations and capital expenditures with cash on hand, borrowings, and issuance of capital stock. On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the "Equity Purchase Agreement") with Lincoln Park Capital Fund LLC ("Lincoln Park"), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to $31,000 worth of shares of its common stock from time to time over the two-year term of the agreement. Any shares of common stock sold to Lincoln Park will be sold at a purchase price that is based on the prevailing prices of the common stock at the time of each sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company raised net cash proceeds of $272 under the Equity Purchase Agreement as described below. The Equity Purchase Agreement expired on July 1, 2022. On July 12, 2022, the Company entered into a subsequent purchase agreement (the “2022 LPC Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, the details of which are described in Note 18 below. In December 2021, the Company issued and sold to investors 9,808,418 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 3,790,755 shares of the convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share for the total gross proceeds of $16,999 (see “The 2021 Private Placement” in Note 14). In February 2021, several investors exercised an aggregate of 361,200 December 2020 Public Offering Warrants at the exercise price of $2.50 per share. The total proceeds received by the Company from the December 2020 Public Offering Warrants exercises were $903. Until the Company generates revenue at a level to support its cost structure, the Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows from operating activities.

 

Given the pandemic and the uncertainty around the COVID-19 variants, the Company cannot anticipate the extent to which the current economic turmoil and financial market conditions will continue to adversely impact the Company’s business and the Company may need additional capital to fund its future operations and to access the capital markets sooner than planned. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, it may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations and planned capital expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the uncertainty. Such adjustments could be material.

 

Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park

 

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to $31,000 worth of shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pursuant to its shelf registration statement. The purchase price of shares of common stock related to a future sale will be based on the then prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales as described in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The aggregate number of shares that the Company can sell to Lincoln Park under the Equity Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 7,763,411 shares (subject to adjustment) of common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the shares of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue shares above the Exchange Cap, in which case the Exchange Cap will no longer apply, or (ii) with Equity Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $3.9755 per share (subject to adjustment) (which represents the minimum price, as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), on the Nasdaq Global Market immediately preceding the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement, such that the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules. Also, at no time may Lincoln Park (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Concurrently with entering into the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which it agreed to provide Lincoln Park with certain registration rights related to the shares of common stock issued under the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

 

Since inception through June 30, 2022, the Company issued and sold to Lincoln Park 3,437,521 shares of its common stock at an average price of $2.70 per share, and 209,566 of these shares were issued to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee in connection with entering into the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Commitment Shares”). The total value of the Commitment Shares of $620 together with the issuance costs of $123 were recorded as deferred issuance costs in the consolidated balance sheet at inception and were amortized into consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity proportionally based on proceeds received during the term of the Equity Purchase Agreement. In 2022, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock and the proceeds from common stock issuances as of June 30, 2022 were $272, with no issuance costs. The proceeds in the amount of $272 were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as net cash proceeds from issuance of common stock. The Equity Purchase Agreement expired on July 1, 2022.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Venus Concept Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

In the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021, in the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2021, in the form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2021 and in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022, the revenue by geographic location, which is based on the product shipped to location, was presented incorrectly (see below). The Company corrected the presentation in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented (see Note 16).

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of June 30, 2022 and through the date of this report filing. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts and the carrying value of intangible and long-lived assets.

 

Amounts reported in thousands within this report are computed based on the amounts in dollars. As a result, the sum of the components reported in thousands may not equal the total amount reported in thousands due to rounding. Certain columns and rows within tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in dollars.

 

Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies the Company follows are set forth in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2021. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies.

 

JOBS Act Accounting Election

 

The Company is an emerging growth company, within the meaning of the 1933 Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In August 2020, Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”): Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. The diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require us to use the if-converted method. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the type of contracts primarily affected by this update are freestanding and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance due to a failure to meet the settlement conditions of the derivative scope exception. This update simplifies the related settlement assessment by removing the requirements to (i) consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (ii) consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and (iii) assess shareholder rights. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU No. 2020-06 can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of applying this guidance as well as when to adopt this guidance.

 

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Question-and-Answer Document (Q&A): ASC Topic 842 and ASC Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, that focuses on the application of the lease guidance for lease concessions related solely to the effects of COVID-19. The FASB issued the guidelines to reduce the burden and complexity for companies to account for such lease concessions (e.g., rent abatements or other economic incentives) under current lease accounting rules due to COVID-19 by providing certain practical expedients that can be used. This guidance can be applied immediately. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASC Topic 848). This authoritative guidance provides optional relief for companies preparing for the discontinuation of interest rates such as LIBOR, which is expected to be phased out at the end of calendar 2021, and applies to lease contracts, hedging instruments, held-to-maturity debt securities and debt arrangements that have LIBOR as the benchmark rate. This guidance can be applied for a limited time, as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter, through December 31, 2022. The guidance may no longer be applied after December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that makes amendments to the new rules on accounting for reference rate reform. The amendments clarify that all derivative instruments affected by the changes to interest rates used for discounting, margining or contract price alignment, regardless of whether they reference LIBOR, or another rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform, an entity may apply certain practical expedients in ASC Topic 848. The Company is currently assessing the impact of applying this guidance as well as when to adopt this guidance.

 

In February 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance (ASU 2020-02 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)) that amends and clarifies Topic 326 and Topic 842. For Topic 326, the codification was updated to include the SEC staff interpretations associated with registrants engaged in lending activities. ASC Topic 326 is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying this guidance on its financial instruments, such as accounts receivable.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, an authoritative guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and making simplifications in other areas. It is effective from the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted in any interim period. If adopted early, the Company must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The amendments have differing adoption methods including retrospectively, prospectively and/or modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, depending on the specific change. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

3. NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE

 

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

 

Basic net (loss) income per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock warrants and stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per share when their effect is dilutive.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Subsequently, all financial instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

The financial instruments of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, long-term receivables, lines of credit, trade payables, government assistance loans, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, other long-term liabilities and long-term debt. In view of their nature, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts.

 

The Company measures the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities using the fair value hierarchy. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

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

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

10

 

Guaranteed investment certificates (“GIC”) are classified within Level 2 as the Company uses alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs for valuation. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 financial assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy:

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company’s products may be sold under subscription agreements with unencumbered title passing to the customer at the end of the lease term, which is generally 36 months. These arrangements are considered to be sales-type leases, where the present value of all cash flows to be received under the agreement is recognized upon shipment to the customer as lease revenue.

 

A financing receivable is a contractual right to receive money, on demand or on fixed or determinable dates, that is recognized as an asset on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's financing receivables, consisting of sales-type leases, totaled $51,240 and $53,887 as of  June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable and long-term receivables on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors credit quality over the term of the underlying transactions.

 

The Company performed an assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Based upon such assessment, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $14,100 and $11,997 as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Total inventory

  $ 22,363     $ 20,543  

 

Additions to inventory are primarily comprised of newly produced units and applicators, refurbishment cost from demonstration units and used equipment which were reacquired during the period from upgraded sales. The Company expensed $7,731 and $15,231 in cost of goods sold in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively ($5,339 and $11,359 in cost of goods sold in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively). The balance of cost of goods sold represents the sale of applicators, parts and warranties.

 

The Company provides for excess and obsolete inventories when conditions indicate that the inventory cost is not recoverable due to physical deterioration, usage, obsolescence, reductions in estimated future demand and reductions in selling prices. Inventory provisions are measured as the difference between the cost of inventory and net realizable value to establish a lower cost basis for the inventories. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a provision for obsolescence of $2,701 and $2,213 was taken against inventory, respectively.

Operating Leases

 

The Company has various operating lease agreements, which expire on various dates.

 

The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable lease period and records the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. When leases contain escalation clauses, rent abatements and/or concessions, such as rent holidays and landlord or tenant incentives or allowances, the Company applies them in the determination of straight-line rent expense over the lease period.

 

Aggregate future minimum lease payments, and service and purchase commitments with manufacturers as of June 30, 2022 are as follows:

Legal Proceedings

 

Purported Shareholder Class Actions

 

In 2018 and 2019, four putative shareholder class action complaints were filed against Restoration Robotics, Inc., certain of its former officers and directors, certain of its venture capital investors, and the underwriters of the initial public offering (“IPO”). Two claims, captioned Wong v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 18CIV02609, and Li v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 19CIV08173 (together, the “State Actions”), were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, and assert claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the 1933 Act. Two additional claims, captioned Guerrini v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 5:18-cv-03712-EJD and Yzeiraj v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 5:18-cv-03883-BLF (together, the “Federal Actions”), were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and assert claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the 1933 Act. The complaints in both the State Actions and Federal Actions alleged, among other things, that the Restoration Robotics’ Registration Statement filed with the SEC on September 1, 2017 and the Prospectus filed with the SEC on October 13, 2017 in connection with Restoration Robotics’ IPO were inaccurate and misleading, contained untrue statements of material facts, omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein. The complaints sought unspecified monetary damages, other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. A settlement in the Federal Actions was granted final approval in the District Court on September 9, 2021. 

 

In the State Actions, the Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on January 17, 2020 seeking unspecified monetary damages, other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. Following the Delaware Supreme Court reversal of the Chancery Court’s decision in Sciabacucchi v. Salzberg which held that exclusive federal forum provisions are valid under Delaware law, the Company filed a renewed motion to dismiss based on its federal forum selection clause on March 30, 2020, which was granted as to the Company and the individual defendants on September 1, 2020 and a judgement of dismissal was entered by the Court on September 22, 2020. On November 23, 2020, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s order granting the renewed motion to dismiss. The court of appeal heard oral argument related to the appeal on April 20, 2022, and on April 28, 2022, issued its opinion affirming the trial court’s dismissal of the State Actions based on the federal forum selection clause. On June 7, 2022, Plaintiff-Appellant Wong petitioned the California Supreme Court to review the appellate court’s opinion. The Company filed its Response to Plaintiff-Appellant Wong’s petition on June 27, 2022, and Plaintiff-Appellant Wong filed a Reply in Support of the Petition For Review on July 7, 2022. On July 27, 2022, the California Supreme Court denied Plaintiff-Appellant Wong’s petition for review. Absent extensions, Plaintiff-Appellant Wong’s deadline to seek review in the United States Supreme Court is October 25, 2022.

 

On July 11, 2019, a verified shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Mason v. Rhodes, No. 5:19-cv-03997-NC. The complaint alleges that certain of Restoration Robotics’ former officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties, have been unjustly enriched and violated Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act in connection with the IPO and Restoration Robotics’ 2018 proxy statement. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, declaratory relief, other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 21, 2019, the District Court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the Mason action. On June 21, 2021, the District Court granted the parties’ further stipulation to stay the Mason action and the case remains stayed.

9. MAIN STREET TERM LOAN

 

On December 8, 2020, the Company executed a loan and security agreement (the "MSLP Loan Agreement"), a promissory note (the "MSLP Note"), and related documents for a loan in the aggregate amount of $50,000 for which City National Bank of Florida (“CNB”) will serve as a lender pursuant to the Main Street Priority Loan Facility as established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act (the “MSLP Loan”). On December 9, 2020, the MSLP Loan had been funded and the transaction was closed. The MSLP Note has a term of five years and bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 30-day LIBOR plus 3%. On December 8, 2023 and December 8, 2024, the Company must make an annual payment of principal plus accrued but unpaid interest in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding principal balance of the MSLP Note (inclusive of accrued but unpaid interest). The entire outstanding principal balance of the MSLP Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest is due and payable in full on  December 8, 2025. The Company may prepay the MSLP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment penalties. The MSLP Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to a failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and covenants, and the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the MSLP Loan Agreement and MSLP Note contain various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in specified types of transactions. Subject to limited exceptions, these covenants limit the Company’s ability, without CNB’s consent, to, among other things, sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or dispose of the Company’s assets, incur, create or permit to exist additional indebtedness, or liens, to make dividends and other restricted payments, and to make certain changes to its ownership structure.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

 

The scheduled payments on the outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2022 are as follows:

10. MADRYN LONG-TERM DEBT AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

On October 11, 2016, Venus Concept Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Venus Ltd."), entered into a credit agreement as a guarantor with Madryn Health Partners, LP, as administrative agent, and certain of its affiliates as lenders (collectively, “Madryn”), as amended (the “Madryn Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Madryn agreed to make certain loans to certain of Venus Ltd.’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Obligors”). The Madryn Credit Agreement was comprised of four tranches of debt aggregating $70,000. As of September 30, 2020, the Subsidiary Obligors had borrowed $60,000 under the term A-1 and A-2 and B tranches of the Madryn Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Madryn Credit Agreement were secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Obligors. On the 24th payment date, which is September 30, 2022, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due and owing under the loan agreement were to become due and payable in full.

 

In connection with the Merger (as defined below), the Company entered into an amendment to the Madryn Credit Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2019, (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company joined as (i) a guarantor to the Madryn Credit Agreement and (ii) a grantor to the certain security agreement, dated October 11, 2016, (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among the grantors from time to time party thereto and the administrative agent (the “U.S. Security Agreement”). Effective August 14, 2018, interest on the Madryn loan was 9.00%, payable quarterly. 

 

The Company had the option of settling the paid in kind (“PIK”) interest in cash or adding the owed interest to the principal amount of the loan. On April 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Twelfth Amendment to the Madryn Credit Agreement that (i) required that interest payments for the period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending on, and including, April 29, 2020 (the “PIK Period”), be paid-in-kind, (ii) increased the interest rate from 9.00% per annum to 12.00% per annum during the PIK Period and (iii) require the Company to provide certain additional financial and other reporting information to the lenders.

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to the Madryn Credit Agreement that (i) extended the PIK Period through June 30, 2020, (ii) reduced the consolidated minimum revenue threshold requirement (a) for the four consecutive fiscal quarter period ended June 30, 2020, to at least $85,000 and (b) for the four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending September 30, 2020, to at least $75,000, (iii) required the Company to raise at least $5,000 of cash proceeds from the issuance of equity during the period June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 and (iv) obligated the Company to use its best efforts to raise an additional $2,000 of cash proceeds from the issuance of equity during the period June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020.

 

On September 30, 2020, the Company entered into the Fourteenth Amendment to the Madryn Credit Agreement that (i) required that fifty percent (50%) of the interest payments for the period beginning July 1, 2020 and ending on, and including, September 30, 2020 (the “Second PIK Period”), be paid in cash, (ii) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the interest payments for the Second PIK Period, to be paid in kind, and (iii) increased the interest rate applicable to the Second PIK Period from 9.00% per annum to 10.50% per annum during the Second PIK Period.

 

On December 9, 2020, contemporaneously with the MSLP Loan Agreement (Note 9), the Company and its subsidiaries, Venus Concept USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Venus USA”), Venus Concept Canada Corp., an Ontario corporation (“Venus Canada”), Venus Ltd., and the Madryn Noteholders (as defined below), entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) dated as of December 8, 2020, pursuant to which the Company (i) repaid $42,500 aggregate principal amount owed under the Madryn Credit Agreement, and (ii) issued, to the Madryn Health Partners (Cayman Master), LP and Madryn Health Partners, LP (together the “Madryn Noteholders”) secured subordinated convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $26,695 (the “Notes”). The Madryn Credit Agreement was terminated effective  December 9, 2020 upon the funding and closing of the MSLP Loan and the issuance of the Notes.

 

The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum from the date of original issuance of the Notes to the third anniversary date of the original issuance and thereafter interest will accrue at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Under certain circumstances, in the case of an event of default under the Notes, the then-applicable interest rate will increase by 4.0% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each calendar quarter of each year after the original issuance date, beginning on  December 31, 2020. The Notes will mature on  December 9, 2025, unless earlier redeemed or converted. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company also entered into, by and among the Company, Venus USA, Venus Canada, Venus Ltd., and the Madryn Noteholders, (i) a Guaranty and Security Agreement dated as of December 9, 2020 (the "Madryn Security Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant Madryn a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure the obligations under the Notes and (ii) a Subordination of Debt Agreement dated as of December 9, 2020 (the "CNB Subordination Agreement"). The security interests and liens granted to the Madryn Noteholders under the Madryn Security Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) an assignment of the Notes (other than to an affiliate of the Madryn Noteholders) pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and (ii) the first date on which the outstanding principal amount of the Notes is less than $10,000. Obligations under the Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of Venus Concept Inc. and its subsidiaries party to the Madryn Security Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Notes and the security interests and liens created by the Madryn Security Agreement are subordinated to the Company’s indebtedness owing to CNB (including, but not limited, pursuant to the MSLP Loan Agreement and the CNB Loan Agreement, (Note 11)) and any security interests and liens which secure such indebtedness owing to CNB. The Notes are convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, calculated by dividing the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (and any accrued and unpaid interest under the Notes) by the initial conversion price of $3.25 per share. In connection with the Notes, the Company recognized interest expense of $540 and $540 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recognized interest expense of $1,074 and $1,067 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The conversion feature, providing the Madryn Noteholders with a right to receive the Company’s shares upon conversion of the Notes, was qualified for a scope exception in ASC 815-10-15 and did not require bifurcation. The Notes also contained embedded redemption features that provided multiple redemption alternatives. Certain redemption features provided the Madryn Noteholders with a right to receive cash and a variable number of shares upon change of control and an event of default (as defined in the Notes). The Company evaluated redemption upon change of control and an event of default under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that these two redemption features required bifurcation. These embedded derivatives were accounted for as liabilities at their estimated fair value as of the date of issuance, and then subsequently remeasured to fair value as of each balance sheet date, with the related remeasurement adjustment being recognized as a component of change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company determined the likelihood of an event of default and change of control as remote as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, therefore a nominal value was allocated to the underlying embedded derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

 

The scheduled payments on the outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2022 are as follows:

On March 20, 2020, the Company also entered into a Security Agreement with CNB (the “CNB Security Agreement”), as amended on December 9, 2020 and August 26, 2021, pursuant to which it agreed to grant CNB a security interest in substantially all of our assets to secure the obligations under the CNB Loan Agreement. 

 

The CNB Loan Agreement contains various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in specified types of transactions. Subject to limited exceptions, these covenants limit the Company’s ability, without CNB’s consent, to, among other things, sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or dispose of the Company’s assets, incur, create or permit to exist additional indebtedness, or liens, to make dividends and certain other restricted payments, and to make certain changes to its management and/or ownership structure. The Company is required to maintain $3,000 in cash in a deposit account maintained with CNB at all times during the term of the CNB Loan Agreement. In addition, the CNB Loan Agreement contains certain covenants that require the Company to achieve certain minimum account balances, or a minimum debt service coverage ratio and a maximum total liability to tangible net worth ratio. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants, it will result in a default and require the Company to repay all outstanding principal amounts and any accrued interest. In connection with the CNB Loan Agreement, a loan fee of $1,000 was paid in equal installments on  January 25,  February 25 and  March 25, 2021.

 

On August 26, 2021, the Company, Venus USA and Venus Canada entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Amended CNB Loan Agreement”) with CNB, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the maximum principal amount the revolving credit facility was reduced from $10,000 to $5,000 at the LIBOR 30-Day rate plus 3.25%, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate floor of 0.50%, and (ii) beginning December 10, 2021, the cash deposit requirement was reduced from $3,000 to $1,500, to be maintained with CNB at all times during the term of the Amended CNB Loan Agreement. The Amended CNB Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of certain of its subsidiaries.

 

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants. An event of default under this agreement would cause a default under the MSLP Loan (see Note 9).

 

In connection with the Amended CNB Loan Agreement, the Company, Venus USA and Venus Canada issued a promissory note dated August 26, 2021, in favor of CNB (the “CNB Note”) in the amount of $5,000 with a maturity date of  July 24, 2023 and the obligations of the Company pursuant to certain of the Company’s outstanding promissory notes were reaffirmed as subordinated to the indebtedness of the Company owing to CNB pursuant to a Supplement to Subordination of Debt Agreements dated as of August 26, 2021 (the “Subordination Supplement”) by and among Madryn Health Partners, LP, Madryn Health Partners (Cayman Master), LP, the Company and CNB.

12. GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

 

Venus Concept Inc. and Venus USA, received funding in the total amount of $4,048 in connection with two Small Business Loans under the federal Paycheck Protection Program provided in Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act of 1953, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended from time to time (the “PPP”).

 

Venus Concept Inc. entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of April 21, 2020 in favor of CNB pursuant to which the Company borrowed $1,665 original principal amount, which was funded on April 29, 2020 (the “Venus Concept PPP Loan”). The Venus Concept PPP Loan bears interest at 1% per annum and matures in two years from the date of disbursement of funds under the loan.

 

Venus USA entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of April 15, 2020 in favor of CNB. Venus USA borrowed $2,383 original principal amount, which was funded on April 20, 2020 (the “Venus USA PPP Loan” and together with the Venus Concept PPP Loan, individually each a “PPP Loan” and collectively, the “PPP Loans”). The terms of the Venus USA PPP Loan were substantially similar to the terms of the Venus Concept PPP Loan.

 

The Venus Concept PPP Loan contained certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s use of the proceeds of the PPP Loan to the payment of payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations, rent obligations and utility expenses, require compliance with all other loans or other agreements with any creditor of the Company, to the extent that a default under any loan or other agreement would materially affect the Company’s ability to repay its PPP Loan and limit the Company’s ability to make certain changes to its ownership structure.

 

In 2021, through CNB, the Company applied for and received partial forgiveness of the Venus USA PPP Loan in the amount of $1,689 and the Venus Concept PPP Loan in the amount of $1,086. The Company repaid $407 during the three months ended  March 31, 2022, and the remaining portion of the PPP Loans in the amount of $136 was fully repaid in  April 2022. As of  June 30, 2022, the Company had $nil outstanding under the PPP Loans ($543 as of December 31, 2021).

Common Stock

 

The Company’s common stock confers upon its holders the following rights:

 

 

The right to participate and vote in the Company’s stockholder meetings, whether annual or special. Each share will entitle its holder, when attending and participating in the voting in person or via proxy, to one vote;

 

 

The right to a share in the distribution of dividends, whether in cash or in the form of bonus shares, the distribution of assets or any other distribution pro rata to the par value of the shares held by them; and

 

 

The right to a share in the distribution of the Company’s excess assets upon liquidation pro rata to the par value of the shares held by them.

 

The 2021 Private Placement

 

In December 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investors an aggregate of 9,808,418 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 3,790,755 shares of the convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into 3,790,755 shares of common stock upon receipt of stockholder approval (the “2021 Private Placement”). The 2021 Private Placement was completed on December 15, 2021. The gross proceeds from the securities sold in the 2021 Private Placement was $16,999. The costs incurred with respect to the 2021 Private Placement totaled $259 and were recorded as a reduction of the 2021 Private Placement proceeds in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity as presented in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022.

 

Preferred Stock issued in December 2021

 

As noted above, in December 2021, the Company issued and sold to the Investors an aggregate of 3,790,755 shares of the Preferred Stock. The terms of the Preferred Stock are governed by a Certificate of Designation filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 14, 2021. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Preferred Stock:

 

 

Voting Rights. The Preferred Stock has no voting rights except as required by law and except that the consent of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock will be required to amend the terms of the Preferred Stock or take certain other actions with respect to the Preferred Stock.

 

 

Liquidation. The Preferred Stock does not have a preference upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

 

 

Conversion. The Preferred Stock is automatically convertible into shares of common stock, based on an initial conversion ratio of 1:1, as adjusted in accordance with the Certificate of Designation, upon receipt of the approval of the Company’s stockholders. The Company is not permitted to issue any shares of common stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock to the extent that the issuance of such shares of common stock would exceed 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of the initial issuance of the Preferred Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”). The Ownership Limitation will be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction.

 

 

Dividends. No dividends will be paid on the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock.

 

 

Redemption. The Preferred Stock is not redeemable at the election of the Company or at the election of the holder.

 

 

Maturity. The Preferred Stock shall be perpetual unless converted.

 

Upon issuance, the effective conversion price of the Preferred Stock of $1.25 per share was lower than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock of $1.29 per share; as a result, the Company recorded the beneficial conversion feature of $152 in accumulated paid in capital (“APIC”). Because the Preferred Stock is perpetual, it is carried at the amount recorded at inception. Upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the beneficial conversion feature will be accounted for as a deemed dividend.

 

The Company evaluated the Preferred Stock for liability or equity classification in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because the Preferred Stock did not meet the definition of the liability instruments defined thereunder for convertible instruments. Specifically, the Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable and does not embody an obligation to buy back the shares outside of the Company’s control in a manner that could require the transfer of assets. Additionally, the Company determined that the Preferred Stock would be recorded as permanent equity, not temporary equity, based on the guidance of ASC 480 given that the holders of equally and more subordinated equity would be entitled to also receive the same form of consideration upon the occurrence of the event that gives rise to the redemption or events of redemption that are within the control of the Company.

 

Since the Preferred Stock was sold as a unit with the common stock, the proceeds received were allocated to each instrument on a relative fair value basis. Total net proceeds of $16,740 reduced by $152 of the beneficial conversion feature were allocated as follows: $4,514 to the Preferred Stock and $12,074 to shares of common stock. The Preferred Stock and common stock issued in the 2021 Private Placement were recorded at par value of $0.0001 with the excess of par value recorded in APIC.

2010 Share Option Plan

 

In November 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a share option plan (the “2010 Share Option Plan”) pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options to be granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The 2010 Share Option Plan is administered by the Board, which designates the options and dates of grant. Options granted vest over a period determined by the Board, originally had a contractual life of seven years, which was extended to ten years in November 2017 and are non-assignable except by the laws of descent. The Board has the authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2010 Share Option Plan, provided that any such amendment or rescindment that would adversely affect the rights of an optionee that has received or been granted an option shall not be made without the optionee’s written consent. As of June 30, 2022, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance and available for grant under the 2010 Share Option Plan was 385,941 (212,650 as of December 31, 2021).

 

2019 Incentive Award Plan

 

The 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the “2019 Plan”) was originally established under the name Restoration Robotics, Inc., as the 2017 Incentive Award Plan. It was adopted by the Board on September 12, 2017 and approved by the Company’s stockholders on September 14, 2017. The 2017 Incentive Award Plan was amended, restated, and renamed as set forth above, and was approved by the Company’s stockholders on October 4, 2019.

 

Under the 2019 Plan, 450,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards, performance stock unit awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and other stock-based awards, plus the number of shares remaining available for future awards under the 2019 Plan as of the date we completed our business combination with Venus Ltd. and the business of Venus Ltd. became the primary business of the Company (the “Merger”). As of June 30, 2022, there were 1,397,974 shares of common stock available under the 2019 Plan (376,414 as of December 31, 2021). The 2019 Plan contains an “evergreen” provision, pursuant to which the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards under such plan shall be increased on the first day of each year from 2020 and ending in 2029 equal to the lesser of (A) four percent (4.00%) of the shares of stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of stock as determined by the Board.

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation for its employees and non-employees in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

    42.89 %     44.00 %     42.56 %     44.75 %

Expected dividend rate

    0 %     0 %     0 %     0 %

 

Expected Term—The expected term represents management’s best estimate for the options to be exercised by option holders.

 

Volatility—Since the Company does not have a trading history for its common stock, the expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of comparable peer public companies within its industry that are considered to be comparable to the Company’s business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock-based awards.

 

23

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the stock-based awards’ expected term.

 

Dividend Rate—The expected dividend is zero as the Company has not paid nor does it anticipate paying any dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Fair Value of Common Stock— Prior to the Merger, Venus Ltd. used the price per share in its latest sale of securities as an estimate of the fair value of its ordinary shares. After the closing of the Merger, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is used to estimate the fair value of the stock-based awards at grant date.

16. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined it operates in a single operating segment and has one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geography and type for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The Company does not assess the performance of individual product lines on measures of profit or loss, or asset-based metrics. Therefore, the information below is presented only for revenues by geography and type.

 

Revenue by geographic location, which is based on the product shipped to location, is summarized as follows:

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On July 12, 2022, the Company entered into the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, the Company may sell to Lincoln Park up to $11,000 of shares (the “Purchase Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Concurrently with entering into the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “2022 LPC Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which it agreed to provide Lincoln Park with certain registration rights related to the shares issued under the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement. The aggregate number of shares that the Company can issue to Lincoln Park under the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement may not exceed 12,873,368 shares (subject to adjustment) of common stock, which is equal to 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement (the “2022 Exchange Cap”), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue shares of common stock in excess of the 2022 Exchange Cap, in which case the 2022 Exchange Cap will no longer apply, or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of common stock to Lincoln Park under the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of (i) the Nasdaq official closing price immediately preceding the execution of the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement or (ii) the arithmetic average of the five Nasdaq official closing prices for the common stock immediately preceding the execution of the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, plus an incremental amount to take into account the issuance of the commitment shares to Lincoln Park under the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, such that the transactions contemplated by the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement are exempt from the 2022 Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park under the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement if it would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. At inception, the Company issued 685,529 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee in connection with entering into the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement at the total amount of $330. Between August 8, 2022, and August 10, 2022, the Company issued another 375,000 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park at an average price of  $0.52 per share. Further information regarding the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement is contained in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 12, 2022.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion contains managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations and should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (Form 10-Q), with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (Form 10-K), our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, filed with the SEC and other filings we have made with the SEC. 

 

Overview

 

We are an innovative global medical technology company that develops, commercializes and delivers minimally invasive and non-invasive medical aesthetic and hair restoration technologies and related services. Our systems have been designed on cost-effective, proprietary and flexible platforms that enable us to expand beyond the aesthetic industry’s traditional markets of dermatology and plastic surgery, and into non-traditional markets, including family and general practitioners and aesthetic medical spas. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, a substantial majority of our systems delivered in North America were in non-traditional markets.

 

We have had recurring net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $199.6 million and $180.4 million, respectively. Until we generate revenue at a level to support our cost structure, we expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. In order to continue our operations, we must achieve profitability and/or obtain additional equity investment or debt financing. Until we achieve profitability, we plan to fund our operations and capital expenditures with cash on hand, borrowings and issuances of capital stock. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million and $30.9 million, respectively. The pandemic has had a significant negative impact on our business; therefore, while our business continues to show quarter on quarter growth in revenues as compared to 2021, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business going forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that cannot be reliably predicted, such as the duration and scope of the pandemic, including COVID-19 variants; governmental, business, and individuals' actions in response to the pandemic; and the impact on economic activity or financial market instability. See ‘‘—Liquidity and Capital Resources’’ for additional information.

Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park

 

On June 16, 2020, we entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we may sell to Lincoln Park up to $31.0 million of shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registration statement. The purchase price of shares of common stock related to a future sale will be based on the then prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales as described in the Equity Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with entering into the Equity Purchase Agreement, we also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold to Lincoln Park 0.4 million shares of our common stock and raised net cash proceeds of $0.3 million under the Equity Purchase Agreement. See ‘‘—Liquidity and Capital Resources’’ below. The Equity Purchase Agreement expired on July 1, 2022.

 

The 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement

 

On July 12, 2022, we and Lincoln Park entered into the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, as further described in Note 18 to these condensed consolidated financial statements, which will enhance our balance sheet and financial condition to support our future growth initiatives. As part of the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold to Lincoln Park 0.7 million shares of our common stock as a commitment fee in connection with entering into the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement with the total value of $0.3 million. 

 

Products and Services

 

We derive revenue from the sale of products and services. Product revenue includes revenue from the following:

 

 

the sale, including traditional sales and subscription-based sales, of systems, inclusive of the main console and applicators/handpieces (referred to as system revenue);

 

marketing supplies and kits;

 

consumables and disposables;

 

service revenue; and

 

replacement applicators/handpieces.

 

Service revenue includes revenue derived from our extended warranty service contracts provided to our existing customers and VeroGrafters technician services (which were discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2021).

 

Systems are sold through our subscription model, or through traditional sales contracts directly and through distributors.

 

 

We generate recurring monthly revenue under our subscription-based business model and from traditional system sales. Venus Ltd. commenced a subscription-based model in North America in 2011, and approximately 49% and 54% of our aesthetic revenues were derived from our subscription model in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have launched our subscription model in targeted international markets in which we operate directly. We currently do not offer the ARTAS iX system under the subscription model. For additional details related to our subscription model, see Item 1. Business Subscription-Based Business Model as filed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Our subscription model includes an up-front fee and a monthly payment schedule, typically over a period of 36 months, with approximately 40% to 45% of total contract payments collected in the first year. To ensure that each monthly payment is made on time and that the customer’s system is serviced in accordance with the terms of the warranty, every product purchased under a subscription agreement requires a monthly activation code, which we provide to the customer upon receipt of the monthly payment. These recurring monthly payments provide our customers with enhanced financial transparency and predictability. If economic circumstances are appropriate, we provide customers in good standing with the opportunity to “upgrade” into our newest available or alternative Venus Concept technology throughout the subscription period. This structure can provide greater flexibility than traditional equipment leases secured through financing companies. We work closely with our customers to provide business recommendations that improve the quality of service outcomes, build patient traffic and improve financial returns for the customer’s business.

 

We have developed and commercialized eleven technology platforms, including our ARTAS and NeoGraft systems. We believe our ARTAS and NeoGraft systems are complementary and give us a hair restoration product offering that can serve a broad segment of the market. Our medical aesthetic technology platforms have received regulatory clearance for a variety of indications, including treatment of facial wrinkles in certain skin types, temporary reduction of appearance of cellulite, non-invasive fat reduction (lipolysis) in the abdomen and flanks for certain body types and relief of minor muscle aches and pains in jurisdictions around the world. 

 

In the United States, we have obtained 510(k) clearance from the FDA for our Venus Viva, Venus Viva MD, Venus Legacy, Venus Versa, Venus Velocity, Venus Bliss, Venus Bliss Max, Venus Epileve, Venus Fiore, ARTAS and ARTAS iX systems. Outside the United States, we market our technologies in over 60 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Because each country has its own regulatory scheme and clearance process, not every device is cleared or authorized for the same indications in each market in which a particular system is marketed.

 

As of June 30, 2022, we operated directly in 18 international markets through our 15 direct offices in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, France, Germany, Australia, China, Hong Kong, and Israel. 

 

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 were $27.3 million and $25.8 million, respectively. Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 were $53.7 million and $48.4 million, respectively. We had a net loss attributable to Venus Concept of $10.6 million and net income $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We had a net loss attributable to Venus Concept of $19.2 million and $8.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We had an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA income of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We had an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $11.3 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net income (loss) before foreign exchange loss (gain), financial expenses, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and non-recurring items for a given period. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including net income, and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

 

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analyzing the performance of our core business because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by changes in foreign exchange rates that impact financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense), amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense (because it is a non-cash expense) and non-recurring items as explained below.

Key Factors Impacting Our Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations are impacted by several factors, but we consider the following to be particularly significant to our business:

 

Number of systems delivered. The majority of our revenue is generated from the delivery of systems, both under traditional sales contracts and subscription agreements. The following table sets forth the number of systems we have delivered in the geographic regions indicated:

 

   

Three Months Ended June 30,

   

Six Months Ended June 30,

    326       278       653       577  

Total systems delivered

    430       396       883       762  

 

Mix between traditional sales, subscription model sales and distributor sales. We deliver systems through (1) traditional direct system sales contracts to customers, (2) our subscription model, and (3) system sales through distribution agreements. Unit deliveries under direct system sales contracts and subscription agreements have higher per unit revenues and gross margins, while revenues and gross margins on systems sold through distributors are lower. However, distributor sales do not require significant sales and marketing support as these expenses are borne by the distributors. In addition, while traditional system sales and subscription agreements have similar gross margins, cash collections on subscription agreements generally occur over a three-year period, with approximately 40% to 45% collected in the first year and the balance collected evenly over the remaining two years of the subscription agreement.

 

Investment in Sales, Marketing and Operations. In recent years, we made a strategic decision to penetrate the global market by investing in sales and marketing expenses across all geographic segments. This included the opening of direct offices and hiring experienced sales, marketing, and operational staff. While we generated incremental product sales in these new markets, these revenues and the related margins did not fully offset the startup investments made in certain countries. We are evaluating our profitability and growth prospects in these countries post-COVID-19, and have taken and will continue to take steps to exit countries which we do not believe will produce sustainable results. Since June 2020 we have closed 9 direct offices across Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Africa and have increased our investment and focus in the United States market.

 

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, we did not open any direct sales offices.

 

Bad Debt Expense. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may primarily arise from subscription customers that are unable to make the remaining payments required under their subscription agreements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our collections results improved with respect to accounts that were considerably impacted by COVID-19. We incurred a bad debt expense of $2.5 million and $3.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. We recovered a bad debt expense of $3.2 million and $2.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 respectively. As of June 30, 2022, our allowance for doubtful accounts stands at $14.1 million which represents 16.1% of the gross outstanding accounts receivable as of this date. As of June 30, 2021, our allowance for doubtful accounts stands at $12.3 million which represents 14.6% of the gross outstanding accounts receivable as of this date.

 

 

Outlook

 

COVID-19

 

Our overall performance continues to show strength as we find ways to adapt to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are certain markets that we operate in where commercial efforts are still challenged by the effects of COVID-19, either through local government restrictions and/or patients’ hesitancy to undergo procedures. Where possible, our sales efforts are increasingly focused on countries and markets that have had success in managing the pandemic through proper guidance from public health authorities combined with strong COVID-19 vaccination outcomes.

 

Employee and customers health and safety measures. At Venus Concept, safety is our top priority and that includes the health and well-being of our employees and customers globally. In response to COVID-19, we instituted several operational measures to ensure the safety of our employees and customers, which include, but are not limited to the following:

 

 

Implementation of and continuously updated health and safety policies and processes;

 

Establishment of remote working guidelines;

 

Continued communication with customers, including planning for business resumption, implementing virtual training sessions and monitoring announcements regarding developments;

 

Enhanced safety guidelines and access to personal protective equipment for our clinical trainers; shift to virtual training sessions where possible;

 

Thorough cleaning and decontamination procedures throughout our global manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities; and

 

Establishment of phased roll-out of vaccine mandates for Venus Concept offices and safe return to work policies.

 

Supply chain. In the second half of 2021 we were impacted by the global supply disruptions related to COVID-19, which resulted in our inability to fulfil demand for certain of our products. The value of such purchase order backlog in the third and the fourth quarters of 2021 was $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which was substantially fulfilled during the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. We did not experience significant supply issues in the first half of 2022 as we continue to actively work with our suppliers and third-party manufacturers to mitigate supply issues and build inventory of key component parts. We anticipate some supply challenges throughout 2022, including longer production lead times and shortages of certain materials or components that may impact our ability to manufacture the number of systems required to meet customer demand. In addition, since the second quarter of 2021 we have experienced significant inflationary pressures throughout our supply chain, which we expect to continue through the balance of 2022. We expect to mitigate such pressures, where possible, through price increases and margin management.

 

Sales markets. We are a global business, having established a commercial presence in more than 60 countries during our history. The continued economic recovery in individual countries during the first six months of 2022 progressed well in most countries in which we operate. While we expect this momentum to continue for the 2022 year, we continue to evaluate our direct operations, particularly those outside of North America. The COVID-19 outbreak continues to be fluid, and the extent to which the pandemic will continue to impact our business remains largely uncertain and could continue to be significant for the foreseeable future.

 

Accounts receivable collections. As a result of the global economic turmoil that has resulted from COVID-19, many of our customers experienced difficulty in making timely payments or payments at all during the pandemic under their subscription agreements. In 2020 and 2021, we entered into repayment arrangements with the majority of non-paying customers, and as government lockdowns and shelter in place orders were lifted, we experienced a significant improvement in collections as businesses reopened. We remain fully focused on reactivating collections with those at-risk accounts that have struggled through the pandemic but show signs of viability. As of June 30, 2022, our allowance for doubtful accounts stands at $14.1 million, which represents 16.1% of the gross outstanding accounts receivable as of that date. This represents an increase of $2.1 million from our December 31, 2021 allowance for doubtful accounts balance of $12.0 million.

 

With the successful rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, combined with a relaxation of government restrictions in certain markets we operate in, our collection experience continues to improve, with collections in our largest subscription markets averaging 85% of our billings in January 2022, 93% in February 2022, 106% in March 2022, 98% in April 2022, 92% in May 2022,and 96% in June 2022. We incurred a bad debt expense of $3.5 million in the first six months of 2022. We will continue our proactive approach to collections of our accounts receivable and will revisit our allowance for doubtful accounts during the next quarter.

 

 

Mitigation efforts. We are focused on continuing to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business to the extent possible. Our mitigation efforts include the following:

 

 

Accounts Receivables Collections Initiatives. We have made repayment arrangements with the majority of our non-paying subscription customers to collect temporarily reduced monthly payments where possible and/or deferred amounts in expectation of full collection as business activities continue to resume. We modified our payment arrangements with these subscription customers such that past due amounts are scheduled to be repaid over a three to six month period. While the repayment arrangements and improvements in collections activities made thus far have resulted in our cash collections rate averaging at pre-COVID-19 levels, we may not be successful in collecting all outstanding amounts.

 

 

The 2021 Private Placement. In December 2021, we issued and sold to certain investors 9,808,418 shares of common stock and 3,790,755 shares of convertible preferred stock. The 2021 Private Placement was completed on December 15, 2021. The gross proceeds from the securities sold in the 2021 Private Placement was $17.0 million. The costs incurred with respect to the 2021 Private Placement totaled $0.3 million and were recorded as a reduction of the 2021 Private Placement proceeds in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity in the 2021 Form 10-K. See Note 14 "Stockholders Equity" in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

 

Government Assistance Programs. In 2020, certain of our subsidiaries applied for government assistance programs and received loans and other government subsidies in the aggregate of $5.3 million, including $4.1 million in PPP Loans under the PPP. The terms of these government assistance programs vary by jurisdiction. See Note 12 “Government Assistance Programs” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. In 2021, we applied for partial forgiveness of the PPP Loans with the SBA and received partial forgiveness in the total amount of $2.8 million of original PPP Loans as of June 30, 2022. Also in 2021, we received additional government subsidies for $0.1 million.

 

 

December 2020 Public Offering Warrants Exercise. On December 24, 2020, we sold in a public offering 11,250,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 5,625,000 shares of common stock at a combined offering price to the public of $2.00 per share and accompanying warrants. Total net proceeds generated by the December 2020 Public Offering was $20.5 million. In February 2021, a small number of our investors exercised an aggregate of 361,200 December 2020 Public Offering Warrants at the exercise price of $2.50 per share. We received total proceeds from the December 2020 Public Offering Warrants exercises of $0.9 million.

 

 

Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park. On June 16, 2020, we entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, described further under Note 1 “Nature of Operations—Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park” in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Under this agreement, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold approximately 0.4 million shares of our common stock through this equity line facility yielding net cash proceeds of $0.3 million. The Lincoln Park facility had a two-year term and expired on July 1, 2022. It was subsequently replaced by the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, and this facility provides us with the ability to opportunistically enhance our liquidity position.

 

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our business, operating results, financial condition, and liquidity in the future will depend on future developments, which we cannot predict with reasonable accuracy, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, the impact of COVID-19 variants and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease in each of the markets in which we operate. While our business has clearly improved and we expect this momentum to continue through the balance of 2022, the situation surrounding COVID-19, and in particular, the COVID-19 variants, remains fluid, and the potential for additional negative impacts on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity increases the longer the pandemic impacts activity levels in the countries in which we operate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 51% and 49%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from our subscription model. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 60% and 54%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from our subscription model. Our subscription model is designed to provide a low barrier to ownership of our systems and includes an up-front fee followed by monthly payments, typically over a 36-month period. The up-front fee serves as a down payment. The significantly reduced up-front financial commitment, coupled with less onerous credit and disclosure requirements, is intended to make our subscription-based sales program more appealing and affordable to customers, including non-traditional providers of aesthetic services such as family practice physicians, general practice physicians, and operators of medical aesthetic spas. For accounting purposes, these arrangements are considered to be sales-type finance leases, where the present value of all cash flows to be received under the subscription agreement is recognized as revenue upon shipment to the customer and achievement of the required revenue recognition criteria.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 42% and 40%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from traditional sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 32% and 38%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from traditional sales. Customers generally demand higher discounts in connection with these types of sales. We recognize revenues from products sold to customers based on the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

 

We do not grant rights of return or early termination rights to our customers under either our traditional sales or subscription models. These traditional sales are generally made through our sales team in the countries in which the team operates.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 7% and 11%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from distributor sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 8% and 8%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from distributor sales. Under the traditional distributor relationship, we do not sell directly to the end customer and, accordingly, achieve a lower overall margin on each system sold compared to our direct sales. These sales are non-refundable, non-returnable and without any rights of price protection or stock rotation. Accordingly, we consider distributors as end customers, or the sell-in method.

 

Procedure Based Revenue

 

We generate revenue from the harvesting, site making, and implantation procedures performed with our ARTAS system. The harvesting procedure, as the name suggests, is the act of harvesting hair follicles from the patient’s scalp for implantation in the prescribed areas. To perform these procedures, a disposable clinical kit is required. These kits can be large (with an unlimited number of harvests) or small (with a maximum of 1,100 harvests). The customer must place an online order with us for the number and type of kits desired and make a payment. Upon receipt of the order and the related payment, we ship the kit(s) and the customer must scan the barcode on the kit label in order to perform the procedure. Once the kits are exhausted, the customer must purchase additional kits. The site making procedure uses the ARTAS system to create a recipient site (i.e., site making) in the patient’s scalp affected by androgenic alopecia (or male pattern baldness). The site making procedure also requires a disposable site making kit. The site making kits are sold to customers in the same manner as the harvesting procedures. The implantation procedure utilizes the same disposal kit that is used for site making and involves immediately implanting follicles into the created recipient site. The implantation kits are sold to customers in the same manner as the harvesting and site making kits.

 

Other Product Revenue

 

We also generate revenue from our customer base by selling Glide (a cooling/conductive gel which is required for use with many of our systems), marketing supplies and kits, various consumables and disposables, replacement applicators and handpieces, and ARTAS system training.

 

Service Revenue

 

We generate ancillary revenue from our existing customers by selling additional services including extended warranty service contracts and VeroGrafters technician services for hair restoration using our NeoGraft and ARTAS systems. In the fourth quarter of 2021 we discontinued our VeroGrafters technician services in order to focus on higher margin products and services.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of costs associated with manufacturing our different systems, including direct product costs from third-party manufacturers, warehousing and storage costs and fulfillment and supply chain costs inclusive of personnel-related costs (primarily salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation). Cost of goods sold also includes the cost of upgrades, technology amortization, royalty fees, parts, supplies, and cost of product warranties.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Sales and Marketing. We currently sell our products and services using direct sales representatives in North America and in select international markets. Our sales costs primarily consist of salaries, commissions, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation. Costs also include expenses for travel and other promotional and sales-related activities.

 

Our marketing costs primarily consist of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation. They also include expenses for travel, trade shows, and other promotional and marketing activities, including direct and online marketing. As the business environment improves, we expect sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase, but at a rate slightly below our rate of revenue growth.

 

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative costs primarily consist of expenses associated with our executive, accounting and finance, legal and human resource departments and intellectual property portfolio. These expenses consist of personnel-related expenses (primarily salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation) and allocated facilities costs, audit fees, legal fees, consultants, travel, insurance, and bad debt expense. During the normal course of operations, we may incur bad debt expense on accounts receivable balances that are deemed to be uncollectible.

 

 

Research and Development. Our research and development costs primarily consist of personnel-related costs (primarily salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, and stock-based compensation), material costs, amortization of intangible assets, regulatory affairs, clinical costs, and facilities costs in our Yokneam, Israel and San Jose, California research centers. Our ongoing research and development activities are primarily focused on improving and enhancing our current technologies, products, and services, and on expanding our current product offering with the introduction of new products and expanded indications.

 

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in research, clinical studies, regulatory affairs, and development activities, but to decline as a percentage of revenue as our revenue increases over time.

 

Finance Expenses

 

Finance expenses consists of interest income, interest expense and other banking charges. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits. We expect interest income to vary depending on our average investment balances and market interest rates during each reporting period. Interest expense consists of interest on long-term debt and other borrowings. The interest rates on our long-term debt were 4.8 % for the MSLP Loan and 8.0% for the Notes as of June 30, 2022 and 3.10% for the MSLP Loan and 8.0% for the Notes as of December 31, 2021 .
 

Foreign Exchange (Gain) Loss

 

Foreign currency exchange (gain) loss changes reflect foreign exchange gains or losses related to the change in value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

We estimate our current and deferred tax liabilities based on current tax laws in the statutory jurisdictions in which we operate. These estimates include judgments about liabilities resulting from temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. In certain jurisdictions, only the payments invoiced in the current period are subject to tax, but for accounting purposes, the discounted value of the total subscription agreements is reported and tax affected. This results in a deferred tax credit which is settled in the future period when the monthly installment payment is issued and settled with the customer. Since our inception, we have not recorded any tax benefits for the net operating losses we have incurred in each year or for the research and development tax credits we generated in the United States. We believe, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all of our net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits will not be realized.

 

Income tax expense is recognized based on the actual taxable loss incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Non-Controlling Interests

 

We have minority shareholders in one jurisdiction in which we have direct operations. For accounting purposes, these minority partners are referred to as non-controlling interests, and we record the non-controlling interests’ share of earnings in our subsidiaries as a separate balance within stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Total revenue increased by $1.4 million, or 5.6%, to $27.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenue is attributable to a strong performance in the United States where our reinvestment efforts in sales and marketing continue to show positive results. Our international markets were relatively flat with our subsidiary in China being impacted by another wave of COVID-19 restrictions. In the three months ended June 30, 2022 our hair restoration business led by ARTAS continued to perform well globally, and in the United States we successfully executed a soft launch of Bliss Max and we expect this to be a key growth driver during the balance of 2022 given its unique coverage of three modalities (fat reduction, skin tightening and muscle stimulation). 

 

We sold an aggregate of 430 systems in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 396 systems in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The percentage of systems revenue derived from our subscription model was approximately 51% and 60% during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The relative decrease in subscription revenues is in line with our strategy to prioritize cash deals over subscription deals in order to preserve liquidity.

 

 

Other product revenue decreased by $0.2 million, or 7.1%, to $3.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by weaker performance on ARTAS kits and other consumables due to considerable restock orders in the three months ended June 30, 2021, that did not repeat in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The restock from the three months ended June 30, 2021, was attributable to business restart activities as our customer base began pulling out of COVID-19 restrictions in many of the markets we operate in.

 

Services revenue decreased by $0.3 million, or 26%, to $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by the discontinuation of our VeroGrafters technician services in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of goods sold increased by $1.1million, or 15.5%, to $8.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit increased by $0.3 million, or 1.6%, to $19.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $18.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to an increase in revenue in the United States driven by our hair restoration business. Gross margin was 69.9% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 72.5% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to foreign exchange pressures with most currencies depreciating relative to the U.S. dollar.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.6 million or 6.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease is largely due to lower marketing expenditures as we consolidate some of these activities. As a percentage of total revenues, our sales and marketing expenses decreased by 4.4%, from 39.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 34.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As the business environment improves, we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute terms, but at a rate slightly below our rate of revenue growth.

 

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $6.4 million or 82.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to reinvestment in key markets that benefited from the global economic recovery, and inflationary pressures associated with salaries and other cost elements. In addition, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a significant bad debt recovery of $3.2 million due to a reactivation of accounts impacted by COVID-19 which did not repeat in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of total revenues, our general and administrative expenses increased by 22.0%, from 30.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2021, to 52.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the increases in costs previously discussed. 

 

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by $0.4 million or 20.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is due to a reinvestment in research and development efforts directed at scaling our robotic technology across other aesthetic platforms. As a percentage of total revenues, our research and development expenses increased by 1.1%, from 7.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2021, to 8.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Gain on forgiveness of government assistance loans. In 2021, we applied for and received partial forgiveness of the PPP Loans with the SBA in the aggregate amount of $2.8 million of original PPP Loans as of June 30, 2021.

 

Foreign exchange loss. We had $2.4 million of foreign exchange loss in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and foreign exchange loss of $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021. It increased by $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Changes in foreign exchange are driven mainly by the effect of foreign exchange on accounts receivable balances denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, most currencies depreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge against foreign currency risk.

 

Finance Expenses. Finance expenses decreased by $0.2 million or 10.9%, from $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, mostly due to decreased amortization of deferred finance costs. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Income Tax Benefit. We had an income tax benefit of $18 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a $7 thousand of income tax benefit in the three months ended June 30, 2021. The tax provision is driven by profitable sales and the actual effective tax rates where the sale took place or losses were incurred. In 2022, we had changes in timing of deductible expenses and taxable income in specific jurisdictions, which resulted in $18 thousand of income tax benefit.

The increase in revenue is attributable to a strong performance in the United States where our reinvestment efforts are paying dividends. Our international markets were driven by a strong performance in distributor sales. In the six months ended June 30, 2022 our hair restoration business led by ARTAS continued to perform well globally, and in the United States we successfully executed a soft launch of Bliss Max and we expect this to be a key growth driver during the balance of 2022 given its unique coverage of six modalities (fat reduction, skin tightening and muscle stimulation).

Other product revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 3.3%, to $6.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $6.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was driven by stronger performance on ARTAS kits, Venus Viva tips and other consumables.

 

Services revenue decreased by $0.9 million, or 38.2%, to $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by the discontinuation of our VeroGrafters technician services in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cost of goods sold increased by $2.4 million, or 16.5%, to $16.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $14.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit increased by $2.8 million, or 8.4%, to $36.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $34.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to an increase in revenue in the United States driven by our hair restoration business. Gross margin was 68.6% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 70.1% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to foreign exchange pressures with most currencies depreciating relative to the U.S. dollar, and, to a lesser extent, due to inflationary pressures experienced throughout our supply chain.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.4 million or 7.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is largely due to our increased focus in the United States, reinvestment in key markets that benefited from the global economic recovery and inflationary pressures associated with salaries and other sales and marketing cost elements. As a percentage of total revenues, our sales and marketing expenses decreased by 1.0%, from 37.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 36.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2022. As the business environment improves, we expect sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase in absolute terms, but at a rate slightly below our rate of revenue growth.

 

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $7.4 million or 36.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to reinvestment in key markets that benefited from the global economic recovery, and inflationary pressures associated with salaries and other cost elements. In addition, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a significant bad debt recovery of $3.2 million due to a reactivation of accounts impacted by COVID-19 which did not repeat in the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of total revenues, our general and administrative expenses increased by 9.6%, from 41.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2021, to 50.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the increases in costs previously discussed. 

 

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by $0.6 million or 13.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is due to a reinvestment in research and development efforts directed at scaling our robotic technology across other aesthetic platforms. As a percentage of total revenues, our research and development expenses increased 0.2%, from 8.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2021, to 8.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Gain on forgiveness of government assistance loans. In 2021, we applied for and received partial forgiveness of the PPP Loans with the SBA in the aggregate amount of $2.8 million of original PPP Loans as of June 30, 2021.

 

Foreign exchange loss. We had $2.4 million of foreign exchange loss in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021. It increased by $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Changes in foreign exchange are driven mainly by the effect of foreign exchange on accounts receivable balances denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, most currencies depreciated relative to the U.S. dollar. We do not currently hedge against foreign currency risk.

 

Finance Expenses. Finance expenses decreased by $1.0 million or 34.3%, from $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, mostly due to decreased amortization of deferred finance costs. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Income Tax Expense. We had an income tax expense was $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a $7 thousand of income tax benefit in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The tax provision is driven by profitable sales and the actual effective tax rates where the sale took place or losses were incurred. In the first six months of 2022, we had changes in timing of deductible expenses and taxable income in specific jurisdictions, which resulted in $0.3 million of income tax expense.

 

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had $10.5 million and $30.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. We have funded our operations with cash generated from operating activities, through the sale of equity securities and through debt financing. We had total debt obligations of approximately $77.5 million as of June 30, 2022, including the MSLP Loan of $50.8 million and convertible notes of $26.7 million including closing fees of $1.6 million, compared to total debt obligations of approximately $77.8 million as of December 31, 2021.

 

Our working capital requirements reflect the growth of our business over the last few years, in particular, the shift from a traditional sales model to a subscription model. Working capital is primarily impacted by growth in our subscription sales which also impacts accounts receivable. Our overall growth also requires higher inventory levels to meet demand and to accommodate the increased number of technology platforms offered. We had a split of subscription sales revenue to traditional sales revenue at a ratio of approximately 55:45 in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 58:42 in the six months ended June 30, 2021. We expect inventory to continue to increase in the short term, but at a lower rate than the rate of revenue growth.

 

We also require modest funding for capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures relate primarily to our research and development facilities in Yokneam, Israel and San Jose, California. In addition, our capital investments have included improvements and expansion of our subsidiaries’ operations to support our growth.

 

Issuance of Secured Subordinated Convertible Notes

 

Contemporaneously with the MSLP Loan Agreement, on December 9, 2020, we issued $26.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes to the Madryn Noteholders pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement. The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum from the date of original issuance of the Notes to the third anniversary date of the original issuance and thereafter interest will accrue at a rate of 6.0% per annum. In connection with the Exchange Agreement, we also entered into (i) the Madryn Security Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to grant Madryn a security interest, in substantially all of our assets, to secure the obligations under the Notes and (ii) the CNB Subordination Agreement. The Notes are convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.25 per share, subject to adjustment. For additional information regarding the Notes, Exchange Agreement, Madryn Security Agreement and CNB Subordination Agreement, see Note 10 “Madryn Long-Term Debt and Convertible Notes” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

Main Street Priority Lending Program Term Loan

 

On December 8, 2020, we executed the MSLP Loan Agreement, MSLP Note, and related documents for a loan in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million for which CNB will serve as a lender pursuant to the Main Street Priority Loan Facility as established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. For additional information regarding this loan, see Note 9 “Main Street Term Loan” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

CNB Loan Agreement

 

We have a revolving credit facility with CNB pursuant to which CNB agreed to provide a revolving credit facility to us and certain of our subsidiaries to be used to finance working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2020, a portion of the proceeds from the MSLP Loan described above was used to repay $3.2 million of outstanding borrowings under the CNB Loan Agreement. There was $nil outstanding balance as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 

 

On August 26, 2021 we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated CNB Loan Agreement with CNB, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the maximum principal amount the revolving credit facility was reduced from $10.0 million to $5.0 million at the LIBOR 30-Day rate plus 3.25%, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate floor of 0.50%, and (ii) beginning December 10, 2021, the cash deposit requirement was reduced from $3.0 million to $1.5 million, to be maintained with CNB at all times during the term of the Amended CNB Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all required covenants. For additional information on the CNB Loan Agreement and the related agreements, see Note 11 “Credit Facility” to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

 

Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park

 

On June 16, 2020, we entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we may sell to Lincoln Park up to $31.0 million of shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registration statement. The purchase price of shares of common stock related to a future sale will be based on the then prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales as described in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The aggregate number of shares that we can sell to Lincoln Park under the Equity Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed the Exchange Cap, unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue shares above the Exchange Cap, in which case the Exchange Cap will no longer apply, or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Equity Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $3.9755 per share (subject to adjustment) (which represents the minimum price, as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), on the Nasdaq Global Market immediately preceding the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement, such that the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules). Also, at no time may Lincoln Park (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 9.99% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Concurrently with entering into the Equity Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Lincoln Park (as defined above).

 

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022  we issued and sold 0.4 million of our common stock shares to Lincoln Park under the Equity Purchase Agreement. The net cash proceeds from shares issuance as of June 30, 2022 were $0.3 million. The Equity Purchase Agreement expired on July 1, 2022. 

 

The 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement

 

On July 12, 2022, we and Lincoln Park entered into the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, and we issued and sold to Lincoln Park 0.7 million shares of our common stock as a commitment fee in connection with entering into the 2022 LPC Purchase Agreement, with the total value of $0.3 million. The details are further described in Note 18 to these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Government Assistance Programs

 

In April 2020, Venus Concept Inc. and Venus USA, received funding in the total amount of $4.1 million, in connection with two “Small Business Loans” under the PPP.

 

We borrowed $1.7 million pursuant to the Venus Concept PPP Loan. Venus USA also borrowed $2.4 million pursuant to the Venus USA PPP Loan. The terms of the Venus USA PPP Loan are substantially similar to the terms of the Venus Concept PPP Loan. In 2021, we applied through CNB, for partial forgiveness of both PPP Loans with the SBA and received partial forgiveness of the Venus USA PPP Loan in the amount of $1.7 million and the Venus Concept PPP Loan in the amount of $1.1 million. The remaining portion of the PPP Loans of the Company was fully repaid in the six month ended June 30, 2022. 

 

In 2020, certain subsidiaries also received funding in the total amount of $1.1 million in connection with various governmental programs to support businesses impacted by COVID-19. The terms of these government assistance programs vary by jurisdiction. These government subsidies were recorded as a reduction to the associated wage costs recorded in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

For additional information on our utilization of government assistance programs, see Note 12 “Government Assistance Programs” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

 

Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had capital resources consisting of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.5 million. We have financed our operations principally through the issuance and sale of our common stock and preferred stock, debt financing, and payments from customers.

 

We believe that the net proceeds from the 2021 Private Placement, net proceeds from the December 2020 Public Offering, the proceeds from issuance of our common stock to Lincoln Park, the proceeds from the government assistance programs, the proceeds from the MSLP Loan, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. The pandemic has had a significant negative impact on our business. While our business is showing strong growth, we expect the pandemic to continue to have a negative impact in the foreseeable future, the extent of which is uncertain and largely subject to the continued beneficial impact of local vaccination efforts, and whether the severity of the pandemic worsens in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Given the uncertainties of the pandemic, and in particular around the COVID-19 variants, we may need additional capital to fund our future operations and to access the capital markets sooner than we planned. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available at all, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital or research and development expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets.

 

Additional funds may not be available when we need them, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to:

 

 

delay or curtail our efforts to develop system product enhancements or new products, including any clinical trials that may be required to market such enhancements;

 

delay or curtail our plans to increase and expand our sales and marketing efforts; or

 

delay or curtail our plans to enhance our customer support and marketing activities.

 

We are restricted by covenants in the MSLP Loan, the Amended CNB Loan Agreement, the Madryn Security Agreement and other government assistance programs. These covenants restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, which may limit our ability to obtain additional debt financing. In the event that the pandemic and the economic disruptions it has caused continue for an extended period of time, we cannot assure you that we will remain in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit facilities. We also cannot assure you that our lenders would provide relief or that we could secure alternative financing on favorable terms, if at all. Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our credit facilities, including financial covenants, could result in an event of default, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We have based our projections on the amount of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we may use all our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

 

the cost of growing our ongoing commercialization and sales and marketing activities;

 

the costs of manufacturing and maintaining enough inventories of our systems to meet anticipated demand and inventory write-offs related to obsolete products or components;

 

the costs of enhancing the existing functionality and development of new functionalities for our systems;

 

the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other patent related costs, including litigation costs and the results of such litigation;

 

the variability of ARTAS procedures being performed between periods if particular high-volume practitioners perform a smaller number of procedures in each period as a result of the concentration of procedures performed by certain practitioners;

 

any product liability or other lawsuits and the costs associated with defending them or the results of such lawsuits;

 

the costs associated with conducting business and maintaining subsidiaries and other entities in foreign jurisdictions;

 

customers in jurisdictions where our systems are not approved delaying their purchase, and not purchasing our systems, until they are approved or cleared for use in their market;

 

the costs to attract and retain personnel with the skills required for effective operations;

 

the costs associated with being a public company; and

 

uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

In order to grow our business and increase revenues, we will need to introduce and commercialize new products, grow our sales and marketing force, implement new software systems, as well as identify and penetrate new markets. Such endeavors have in the past increased, and may continue in the future, to increase our expenses, including sales and marketing, and research and development. We will have to continue to increase our revenues while effectively managing our expenses in order to achieve profitability and to sustain it. Our failure to control expenses could make it difficult to achieve profitability or to sustain profitability in the future. Moreover, we cannot be sure that our expenditures will result in the successful development and introduction of new products in a cost-effective and timely manner or that any such new products will achieve market acceptance and generate revenues for our business.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities consisted of a net loss of $19.1 million and an investment in net operating assets of $8.1 million, partially offset by non-cash operating expenses of $7.5 million. The investment in net operating assets was attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $2.5 million, a decrease in inventories of $2.7 million, an increase in advances to suppliers of $0.7 million, an increase in other current assets of $0.1 million, an increase in other long-term assets of $0.1 million, a decrease in trade payables of $0.7 million, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $2.0 million, and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of $0.2 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.6 million and an increase in unearned interest income of $0.3 million. The non-cash operating expenses consisted of provision for bad debts of $3.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.2 million, finance expenses and accretion of $0.2 million, stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million, provision for inventory obsolescence of $0.9 million, partially offset by a deferred tax recovery of $0.3 million.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities consisted of a net loss of $9.2 million, an investment in net operating assets of $2.5 million and non-cash operating expenses of $0.5 million. The investment in net operating assets was primarily attributable to a decrease in inventories of $2.9 million, increase in advances to suppliers of $0.8 million, increase in prepaid expenses of $0.1 million, decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $2.9 million, decrease in unearned interest income of $0.1 million, decrease in accounts payable of $0.6 million and decrease in other non-current liabilities of $0.1 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $4.0 million, primarily due to stronger collections as customers start to recover from the pandemic globally during 2021, and a decrease in other current assets of $1.0 million. The non-cash operating expenses consisted mainly of a recovery for bad debts of $2.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.5 million, finance expenses and accretion of $0.8 million, stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million, provision for inventory obsolescence of $0.9 million, gain on forgiveness of government assistance loans of 2.8 million and deferred tax recovery of $0.8 million.

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities consisted of $0.3 million for the purchase of property and equipment. 

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in investing activities consisted of $0.1 million for the purchase of property and equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park of $0.3 million, proceeds from exercise of options of $23 thousand, offset by a $0.6 million repayment of government assistance loans and $0.1 million of dividends from subsidiaries paid to non-controlling interest.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash from financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from exercise of 2020 December Public Offering Warrants of $0.9 million, proceeds from exercise of options of $0.3 million, partially offset by the payment of the NeoGraft earn-out liability of $0.1 million.

 

 

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

 

Our premises are leased under various operating lease agreements, which expire on various dates.

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had non-cancellable purchase orders placed with our contract manufacturers in the amount of $19.8 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we had $6.5 million of open purchase orders that can be cancelled with 270 days’ notice, except for a portion equal to 25% of the total amount representing the purchase of “long lead items”.

For an additional description of our commitments see Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements. In addition, we do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which includes special purpose entities and other structure finance entities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, which are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with stock-based compensation, goodwill impairment, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, accrual for severance and income taxes have the most significant impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and therefore, consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We generate revenue from (1) sales of systems through our subscription model, traditional system sales to customers and distributors, (2) other product revenues from the sale of ARTAS procedure kits, marketing supplies and kits, consumables and (3) service revenue from the sale of our extended warranty service contracts provided to existing customers and VeroGrafters technician services. VeroGrafters technician services were discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

We recognize revenues on other products and services in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is recognized based on the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

We record our revenue net of sales tax and shipping and handling costs.

 

 

Long-term receivables

 

Long-term receivables relate to revenue from our subscription agreements or other contracts which stipulate payment terms exceeding one year. They are comprised of the unpaid principal balance, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. These receivables have been discounted based on the implicit interest rate in the subscription lease of 9.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and a range of between 8% to 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Unearned interest revenue represents the interest-only portion of the respective subscription payments and will be recognized in income over the respective payment term as it is earned.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts and the aging of the related invoices and represents our best estimate of probable credit losses in our existing trade accounts receivable. We regularly review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the account receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

 

Warranty accrual

 

We generally offer warranties for all our systems against defects for up to three years. The warranty period begins upon shipment and we record a liability for accrued warranty costs at the time of sale of a system, which consists of the remaining warranty on systems sold based on historical warranty costs and management’s estimates. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts thereof as necessary. We exercise judgment in estimating expected system warranty costs. If actual system failure rates, freight, material, technical support and labor costs differ from our estimates, we will be required to revise our estimated warranty liability. To date, our warranty reserve has been sufficient to satisfy warranty claims paid.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation costs in accordance with the accounting standards for stock-based compensation, which require that all stock-based payments to employees be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values.

 

The fair value of stock options on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the single-option approach. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the option's expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, to determine the fair value of the award. We recognize the expense associated with options using a single-award approach over the requisite service period.

 

Financial statements in U.S. dollars

 

We believe that the U.S. dollar is the currency in the primary economic environment in which we operate. The U.S. dollar is the most significant currency in which our revenues are generated, and our costs are incurred. In addition, our debt and equity financings are generally based in U.S. dollars. Therefore, our functional currency, and that of our subsidiaries, is the U.S. dollar.

 

Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in ASC 830-10 “Foreign Currency Translation”. All exchange gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items resulting from transactions in non-U.S. dollar currencies are recorded as foreign exchange loss (income) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as they arise.

 

JOBS Act Accounting Election

 

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure for this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As of June 30, 2022, our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.

 

We have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, based on criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of June 30, 2022.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of these limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with established policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for “emerging growth companies.”

 

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the ordinary course of our operations, we become involved in routine litigation incidental to the business. Material proceedings are described under Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risk and uncertainties, including those described below and the risk factors described under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our latest Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In such an event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the related notes thereto, and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included herein, and the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.

 

Our subscription-based model exposes us to the credit risk of our customers over the life of the subscription agreement. In the event that our customers fail to make the monthly payments under their subscription agreements, our financial results may be adversely affected.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 49% and 54% of our system revenues were derived from our subscription-based model. Although the ARTAS System is not available under our subscription-based model, we expect our subscription-based business model to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. We collect an up-front fee, combined with a monthly payment schedule typically over a period of 36 months, with approximately 40% to 45% of total contract payments collected in the first year. For accounting purposes, these arrangements are considered to be sales-type finance leases, where the present value of all cash flows to be received under the subscription agreement is recognized as revenue upon shipment of the system to the customer. As part of our sales and marketing effort, we do not generally require our customers to undergo a formal credit check as is typically required with third-party equipment lease financing. Instead, to ensure that each monthly installment is made on time and that the customer’s systems are serviced in accordance with the terms of the warranty, every system requires a monthly activation code, which we provide to the customer upon receiving each monthly installment. If a customer does not make timely payment of a monthly installment, the customer will not receive an activation code and will be unable to use the system. Because this process does not protect us from the economic impact of a customer’s failure to make its monthly payments, we normally maintain a purchase money security interest over the devices sold under a subscription agreement and therefore enjoy priority as a secured creditor, entitling us to certain rights in the event of a customer default or bankruptcy. We cannot provide any assurance that the financial position of customers purchasing products and services under a subscription agreement will not change adversely before we receive all the monthly installment payments due under the contract. As a result of the global economic turmoil that has resulted from COVID-19, many of our customers experienced difficulty in making timely payments, or payments at all, during the pandemic which had resulted in higher than anticipated bad debt expense over the course of the 2020 and 2021 fiscal years. Despite the improvement we have seen in our collection experience over the last year and throughout the first half of fiscal year 2022, we cannot assure you that our customers will continue payments under their agreements or that we will not experience customer defaults even after local economies reopen for business. In the event that there is a default by any of the customers to whom we have sold systems under the subscription-based model, we may recognize bad debt expenses in our general and administrative expenses. If the extent of such defaults is material, it could negatively affect our results of operations and operating cash flows. 

 

Global supply chain disruption and inflation may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.


Global supply chain disruption and inflation may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company maintains manufacturing operations at its facilities in San Jose, California and Yokneam, Israel. We depend on third-party suppliers and manufacturers to produce components and provide raw materials used to manufacture our products. The disruptions to the global economy in 2020 and 2021 impeded global supply chains and resulted in longer lead times and increased component costs and freight expenses. As a result, our suppliers or manufacturers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to timely manufacture our products and alternative suppliers or manufacturers may not be readily available or cost efficient, which would negatively affect our results of operations. Despite the actions the Company has undertaken to minimize the impacts from disruptions to the global economy, there can be no assurances that unforeseen future events in the global supply chain, and inflationary pressures, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

If we fail to meet the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, our common stock could be delisted from trading, which would decrease the liquidity of our common stock and our ability to raise additional capital.

 

Our common stock is currently listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Market. We are required to meet specified requirements in order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, including, among other things, a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price”). On June 13, 2022, we received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying us that, for 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock was below the Minimum Bid Price required to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). We have 180 days to regain compliance by maintaining the Minimum Bid Price for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before December 12, 2022, at which time the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Minimum Bid Requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(G).

 

If we fail to satisfy the Nasdaq Global Market’s continued listing requirements, including the Minimum Bid Requirement, we may transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which generally has lower financial requirements for initial listing, to avoid delisting, or, if we fail to meet its listing requirements, the OTC Bulletin Board. A transfer of our listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market or having our common stock trade on the OTC Bulletin Board could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock. Any such event could make it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our common stock, and there also would likely be a reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. We may also face other adverse consequences in such event, such as negative publicity, a decreased ability to obtain additional financing, diminished investor and/or employee confidence, and the loss of business development opportunities, some or all of which may contribute to a further decline in our stock price.
