Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Principal Business Activities
Nxt-ID, Inc. (“Nxt-ID” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 8, 2012. The Company is a security technology company and operates its business in one segment – hardware and software security systems and applications. The Company is engaged in the development of proprietary products and solutions that serve multiple end markets, including the security, healthcare, financial technology and the Internet of Things (“IoT”) markets. The Company evaluates the performance of its business on, among other things, profit and loss from operations. With extensive experience in access control, biometric and behavior-metric identity verification, security and privacy, encryption and data protection, payments, miniaturization, and sensor technologies, the Company develops and markets solutions for payment, IoT and healthcare applications.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, LogicMark LLC (“LogicMark”), manufactures and distributes non-monitored and monitored personal emergency response systems sold through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”), healthcare durable medical equipment dealers and distributors and monitored security dealers and distributors.
The Company’s former wholly-owned subsidiary, Fit Pay, Inc., had a proprietary technology platform that delivers payment, credential management, authentication and other secure services to the IoT ecosystem. The platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders’ account information with a unique digital identifier, to transact highly secure contactless payment and authentication services. On September 21, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a plan to separate the Company’s financial technology business from our healthcare business into an independent publicly traded company. The Company originally planned to distribute shares of PartX, Inc., a newly created company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“PartX”), to our stockholders through the execution of a spin-off. As a result, the Company reclassified its financial technology business to discontinued operations for all periods reported. The Company’s financial technology business was comprised of its Fit Pay subsidiary and the intellectual property developed by the Company, including the Flye Smartcard and the Wocket. On April 29, 2019, a Registration Statement on Form 10 was filed by PartX with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the planned spin-off of our payments, authentication and credential management business. On August 19, 2019, the Company’s subsidiary, PartX notified the SEC that it was withdrawing the Registration Statement on Form 10. With the approval of the Company’s board of directors, and upon similar terms and conditions to those set forth in that loan agreement, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of its Fit Pay subsidiary, excluding certain assets on August 6, 2019. In connection with the letter of intent, the Company was advanced $500,000 of non-interest bearing working capital for Fit Pay. On September 9, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Fit Pay subsidiary to Garmin International, Inc. for $3.32 million in cash.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020, and for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and changes in equity for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. However, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020.

Note 2 – Liquidity
The Company generated operating income of $409,655 and a net loss of $1,307,906 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and stockholders’ equity of $2,092,532 and $7,451,852, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,137,343. On July 14, 2020, the Company, received gross proceeds of $1,864,528 from a registered direct offering. See Note 6 for details of this transaction.
Given the Company’s cash position at September 30, 2020 and its projected cash flow from operations, the Company believes that it will have sufficient capital to sustain operations for a period of one year following the date of this filing. The Company may also raise additional funds through equity or debt offerings to increase its working capital and to accelerate the execution of its long-term strategic plan to develop and commercialize its core products and to fulfill its product development commitments.
As described in Note 7, the coronavirus has significantly impacted, and could continue to impact the Company’s business, which would require the Company to raise funds to assist with its working capital needs.
Note 3 – Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of estimates in the financial statements
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management evaluates these significant estimates and assumptions including those related to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, stock based compensation, derivative instruments, income taxes, accounts receivable, inventories, right-of-use assets and other matters that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nxt-ID and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues consist of product sales to either end customers or to distributors and its sales are recognized at a point-in-time under the core principle of recognizing revenue when control of the product transfers to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it ships or delivers the product from its fulfillment center to its customer, when the customer accepts and has legal title of the product, and the Company has a present right to payment for the product. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no sales recognized over time. The Company invoices its customers at the same time that the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied. The Company generally receives customer orders with a specified delivery date and orders typically fluctuate from month-to-month based on customer demand and general business conditions.
The Company offers standard product warranty coverage which provides assurance that the Company’s products will conform to the contractually agreed-upon specifications for a limited period from the date of shipment. The Company’s warranty liabilities and related expense have not been material and were not material in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value. The Company regularly reviews accounts receivable balances and adjusts the receivable reserves as necessary whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $126,733.

Inventory
The Company performs regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and evaluates the realizable value of its inventories. The Company adjusts the carrying value of the inventory as necessary with estimated valuation reserves for excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory by comparing the individual inventory parts to forecasted product demand or production requirements. As of September 30, 2020, inventory was comprised of $202,526 in raw materials and $669,810 in finished goods on hand. Inventory at December 31, 2019 was comprised of $167,357 in raw materials and $1,135,922 in finished goods on hand. The Company is required to prepay for certain inventory with certain vendors until credit terms can be established. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had prepaid inventory of $216,587 and $201,496, respectively. These prepayments were made primarily for finished goods inventory, and prepaid inventory is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Goodwill
Authoritative accounting guidance allows the Company to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the more detailed two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performs the quantitative test if its qualitative assessment determined it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test for any reporting units or assets. The quantitative goodwill impairment test, if necessary, is a two-step process. The first step is to identify the existence of a potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit (the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is calculated using a discounted cash flow model) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the reporting unit’s goodwill is considered not to be impaired and performance of the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss to be recorded, if any. The second step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined using the same approach as employed when determining the amount of goodwill that would be recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.
As part of the annual evaluation of the LogicMark related goodwill, the Company utilized the option to first assess qualitative factors, which include but are not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, as well as the financial performance of LogicMark. In accordance with applicable guidance, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit if, after assessing these qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that its reporting unit’s fair value is greater than its carrying amount. As of September 30, 2020, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of LogicMark exceeded its respective carrying amount and therefore, a quantitative assessment was not required.
Other Intangible Assets
At September 30, 2020, the other intangible assets relating to the acquisition of LogicMark are comprised of patents of $2,539,656; trademarks of $994,342; and customer relationships of $1,896,483. At December 31, 2019, the other intangible assets relating to the acquisition of LogicMark are comprised of patents of $2,818,434; trademarks of $1,041,370; and customer relationships of $2,140,473. The Company will continue amortizing these intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which for the patents, trademarks and customer relationships are 11 years; 20 years; and 10 years, respectively. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had amortization expense of $569,796 and $192,019, respectively, related to the LogicMark intangible assets. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had amortization expense of $569,796 and $192,019, respectively, related to the LogicMark intangible assets.
As of September 30, 2020, total amortization expense estimated for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 is approximately $192,000, and for each of the next five fiscal years, 2021 through 2025, the total amortization expense is estimated to be as follows: 2021 - $762,000; 2022 - $762,000; 2023 - $762,000; 2024 - $762,000; and 2025 - $762,000.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instrument vests or becomes non-forfeitable. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period or as earned. Stock-based compensation is recorded in the same component of operating expenses as if it were paid in cash. The Company generally issues new shares of common stock to satisfy conversion and warrant exercises.

Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of diluted common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities from the exercise of stock options to purchase 310,272 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 12,302,939 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2020 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2019, potentially dilutive securities from the exercise of warrants to purchase 6,973,221 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2018-13, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of the FASB’s disclosure framework project. Adoption of this guidance is required for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This ASU was adopted and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 310,272 stock options to purchase shares of common stock under the LTIP to four (4) non-employee directors for serving on the Company’s board. The weighted average exercise price of these stock options is approximately $0.39 and stock options were fully vested at the issuance date. The aggregate fair value of the stock options issued to the directors was $120,000.
2017 Stock Incentive Plan
On August 24, 2017, a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved at the 2017 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“2017 SIP”). The aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock (including shares underlying options) that may be issued under the 2017 SIP pursuant to awards of restricted shares or options will be limited to 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock, which calculation shall be made on the first (1st) business day of each new fiscal year; provided that for fiscal year 2017, 1,500,000 shares of common stock may be delivered to participants under the 2017 SIP. Thereafter, the 10% provision shall govern the 2017 SIP. The number of shares of common stock that are the subject of awards under the 2017 SIP which are forfeited or terminated, are settled in cash in lieu of shares of common stock or are settled in a manner such that all or some of such shares covered by an award are not issued to a participant or are exchanged for awards that do not involve shares of common stock will again immediately become available to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 SIP. If shares of common stock are withheld from payment of an award to satisfy tax obligations with respect to the award, those shares of common stock will be treated as shares that have been issued under the 2017 SIP and will not again be available for issuance under the 2017 SIP.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 447,620 shares of common stock with an aggregate fair value of $200,794 to certain employees related to the Company’s 2017, 2018 and 2019 management incentive plans.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company accrued $120,000 of management and employee bonus expense. The Company has typically paid a substantial portion of the bonus accrual with shares of common stock.
Warrants
As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,302,939 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price and remaining life of $1.87 and 3.66 years, respectively. At September 30, 2020, all of the warrants were exercisable and had no aggregate intrinsic value.

Legal Matters
On February 24, 2020, Michael J. Orlando, as shareholder representative (the “Shareholder Representative”), and the other stockholders of Fit Pay, Inc. (collectively, the “Fit Pay Shareholders”), filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, CrowdOut Capital, LLC, and Garmin International, Inc. (the “Complaint”). See Orlando v. Nxt-ID, Inc. No. 20-cv-1604 (S.D.N.Y.). The Complaint alleges that the Company has breached certain contractual obligations under a merger agreement, dated May 23, 2017, between Fit Pay, Inc. and the Company, regarding certain future, contingent earnout payments allegedly that could be owed to the Fit Pay Shareholders from future revenues. The Complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages from the defendants. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and plans to vigorously defend the action. The Company waived service of the summons and received an automatic extension of time to answer the Complaint. On May 12, 2020, the Company filed an answer and counterclaims alleging, among other things, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty of the Shareholder Representative as well as arguing that the Shareholder Representative should be estopped from pursuing these claims. The Company has moved for summary judgment to have the lawsuit dismissed. The Company has been able to successfully stay discovery pending the court’s ruling on motions to dismiss by Garmin International, Inc. and CrowdOut Capital, LLC. Since the litigation is still in its early stages, the Company is not yet able to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss.
In connection with the sale of Fit-Pay, Inc., Giesecke+Devrient Mobile Security America, Inc. (“GDMSAI”) has identified a disagreement with the Company over calculation of dividends with respect to GDMSAI’s Series C Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series C”) of the Company. On August 13, 2020, the Company was sued by GDMSAI seeking, among other things, $440,000 of dividends that it believes are owed to it pursuant to the terms of the Series C. The Company believes that GDMSAI’s claims are not correct and plans to vigorously defend the action. The Company has moved to have the case removed from Delaware to New York, where the Company claims the forum clause requires the claims to be heard. The Company has opposed GDMSAI’s motion for summary judgment. Since the litigation is still in its early stages, the Company is not yet able to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss beyond the amount stated in the action.
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Other than the above, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, or any of our subsidiaries in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results, or financial condition.
Commitments
The Company leases office space and a fulfillment center in the U.S., which are classified as operating leases expiring at various dates. The Company determines if an arrangement qualifies as a lease at the lease inception. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019. Operating lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term, assessed as of the commencement date. The Company’s real estate leases, which are for office space and a fulfillment center, generally have a lease term between 3 and 5 years. The Company also leases a copier with a lease term of 5 years. The Company’s leases are comprised of fixed lease payments and also include executory costs such as common area maintenance, as well as property insurance and property taxes. As a practical expedient under Topic 842, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for its real estate leases. Lease payments, which may include lease components, non-lease components and non-components, are included in the measurement of the Company’s lease liabilities to the extent that such payments are either fixed amounts or variable amounts based on a rate or index (fixed in substance) as stipulated in the lease contract. Any actual costs in excess of such amounts are expensed as incurred as variable lease cost.
The Company’s lease agreements generally do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate by lease term, in order to calculate the present value of the future lease payments. The discount rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a secured basis, and is the rate at which the Company would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term. On January 1, 2019, the discount rate used on existing leases at adoption was determined based on the remaining lease term using available data as of that date. The Company’s lease agreement for its warehouse space located in Louisville, Kentucky expired on August 31, 2020. As a result, the Company entered into a new five-year lease agreement in June 2020 for new warehouse space also located in Louisville, Kentucky. The monthly rent which commenced in September 2020 is $6,000 per month and increases approximately 3% annually thereafter. The ROU asset value added as a result of this new lease agreement was $279,024. The Company’s ROU asset and lease liability accounts reflect the inclusion of this new lease agreement on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.
Certain of the Company’s lease agreements, primarily related to real estate, include options for the Company to either renew (extend) or early terminate the lease. Leases with renewal options allow the Company to extend the lease term typically between 1 and 3 years. Renewal options are reviewed at lease commencement to determine if such options are reasonably certain of being exercised, which could impact the lease term. When determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised, the Company considers several factors, including but not limited to, significance of leasehold improvements incurred on the property, whether the asset is difficult to replace, or specific characteristics unique to the particular lease that would make it reasonably certain that the Company would exercise such option. In most cases, the Company has concluded that renewal and early termination options are not reasonably certain of being exercised by the Company (and thus not included in the Company’s ROU asset and lease liability) unless there is an economic, financial or business reason to do so.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total operating lease cost was $113,257 and is recorded in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, dependent on the nature of the leased asset. The operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The following summarizes (i) the future minimum undiscounted lease payments under non-cancelable lease for the remainder of 2020 as well as each of the next five years and thereafter, incorporating the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for our existing real estate leases, (ii) a reconciliation of the undiscounted lease payments to the present value of the lease liabilities recognized, and (iii) the lease-related account balances on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, as of September 30, 2020:

Coronavirus – COVID-19
In early 2020, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in China. The Company’s primary supply chain is located in China and other Asian-based locations. To date, the Company’s supply chain has not experienced any significant disruptions. The global spread of this virus has caused significant business disruption around the world including the United States, the primary area in which the Company operates and sells its products. The business disruption is currently expected to be temporary, however there is considerable uncertainty around the duration of the business disruption. Therefore, the Company expects this matter to continue to negatively impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 8 – Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued.
On November 16, 2020, the Company and CrowdOut Capital LLC, as administrative agent, entered into the first amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the senior secured term loan. In connection with the First Amendment, CrowdOut Capital LLC, as administrative agent, agreed to modify the financial ratios contained in the senior secured term loan retroactively and prospectively. Based on the senior secured term loan, as amended, the Company was in compliance with such financial covenant requirements as of September 30, 2020.

Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 8, 2012. As of December 31, 2018, we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We are a security technology company and we operate our business in one segment – hardware and software security systems and applications. We are engaged in the development of proprietary products and solutions that serve multiple end markets, including the security, healthcare, financial technology and the Internet of Things (“IoT”) markets. We evaluate the performance of our business on, among other things, profit and loss from operations. With extensive experience in access control, biometric and behavior-metric identity verification, security and privacy, encryption and data protection, payments, miniaturization, and sensor technologies, we develop and market solutions for payment, IoT and healthcare applications.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, LogicMark, manufactures and distributes non-monitored and monitored personal emergency response systems sold through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”), healthcare durable medical equipment dealers and distributors and monitored security dealers and distributors.
Our former wholly-owned subsidiary, Fit Pay, Inc., had a proprietary technology platform that delivers payment, credential management, authentication and other secure services to the IoT ecosystem. The platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders’ account information with a unique digital identifier, to transact highly secure contactless payment and authentication services. On September 21, 2018, we announced that our board of directors approved a plan to separate our financial technology business from our healthcare business into an independent publicly traded company. We originally planned to distribute shares of PartX, Inc., a newly created company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“PartX”), to our stockholders through the execution of a spin-off. As a result, we reclassified our financial technology business to discontinued operations for all periods reported. Our financial technology business was comprised of our Fit Pay subsidiary and the intellectual property developed by the Company, including the Flye Smartcard and the Wocket. On April 29, 2019, a Registration Statement on Form 10 was filed by PartX with the SEC in connection with the planned spin-off of our payments, authentication and credential management business. On August 19, 2019, our subsidiary, PartX notified the SEC that it was withdrawing the Registration Statement on Form 10. With the approval of our board of directors, and upon similar terms and conditions to those set forth in that loan agreement, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of our Fit Pay subsidiary, excluding certain assets on August 6, 2019. In connection with the letter of intent, we were advanced $500,000 of non-interest bearing working capital for Fit Pay. On September 9, 2019, we completed the sale of our Fit Pay subsidiary to Garmin International, Inc. for $3.32 million in cash.
Healthcare
With respect to the healthcare market, our business initiatives are driven by LogicMark, which serves a market that enables two-way communication, medical device connectivity and patient data tracking of key vitals through sensors, biometrics, and security to make home health care a reality. There are four (4) major trends driving this market: (1) an increased desire for connectivity; specifically, a greater desire for connected devices by people over 60 years of age who now represent the fastest growing demographic for social media; (2) the growth of “TeleHealth”, which is the means by which telecommunications technologies are meeting the increased need for health systems to better distribute doctor care across a wider range of health facilities, making it easier to treat and diagnose patients; (3) rising healthcare costs – as healthcare spending continues to outpace the economy, the need to reduce hospital readmissions, increase staffing efficiency and improve patient engagement remain the highest priorities; and (4) the critical shortage of labor in the home healthcare industry, creating an increased need for technology to improve communication to home healthcare agencies by their clients. Together, these trends have produced a large and growing market for us to serve. LogicMark has built a successful business on emergency communications in healthcare. We have a strong business relationship with the VA today, serving veterans who suffer from chronic conditions that often require emergency assistance. This business is steady and growing, producing the highest annual revenue in its operational history in 2019. Our strategic plan calls for expanding LogicMark’s business into other healthcare verticals as well as retail and enterprise channels in order to better serve the expanding demand for connected and remote healthcare solutions.
Home healthcare is an emerging area for LogicMark. The long-term trend toward more home-based healthcare is a massive shift that is being driven by demographics (an aging population) and basic economics. People also value autonomy and privacy which are important factors in determining which solutions will suit the market. Consumers are beginning to enjoy the benefits of smart home technologies and online digital assistants.
PERS devices are used to call for help and medical care during an emergency. These devices are also used by a wide patient pool, as well as the general population, to ensure safety and security when living or traveling alone. The global medical alert systems market caters to different end-users across the healthcare industry, including individual users, hospitals and clinics, assisted living facilities and senior living facilities. The growing demand for home healthcare devices is mainly driven by an aging population, rising healthcare costs and a severe shortage of workers in the home healthcare market worldwide. It is beneficial for seniors who have a history of falling or have been identified as having a high fall risk, older individuals who live alone and people who have mobility issues. We believe that the aging population will spur the usage of medical alert systems across the globe, as they offer safety and medical security while being affordable and accessible.
Payments and Financial Technology
Our former wholly-owned subsidiary, Fit Pay, Inc., had a proprietary technology platform that delivered payment, credential management, authentication and other secure services to the IoT ecosystem. The platform used tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders’ account information with a unique digital identifier, to transact highly secure contactless payment and authentication services. Fit Pay connected its customers to leading payment card networks, including VISA, Mastercard, Maestro and Discover, and to credit card issuing banks globally. Fit Pay also commercialized its third-party token service provider platform with the launch of Garmin Pay, which was powered by Fit Pay’s platform. Fit Pay’s technology and tokenization service enabled the contactless payment feature that is included in smart watches manufactured by Garmin.
On September 21, 2018, we announced that our board of directors approved a plan to separate our financial technology business from our healthcare business into an independent publicly traded company. We originally planned to distribute shares representing our financial technology business into a newly created company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (which we named “PartX”), to our stockholders through the execution of a spin-off. As a result, we reclassified our financial technology business to discontinued operations for all periods reported. Our financial technology business was comprised of our Fit Pay subsidiary and the intellectual property developed by the Company, including the Flye Smartcard and the Wocket. On April 29, 2019, a Registration Statement on Form 10 was filed by PartX with the SEC in connection with the planned spin-off of our payments, authentication and credential management business. On August 19, 2019, our subsidiary, PartX notified the SEC that it was withdrawing the Registration Statement on Form 10 as PartX was unable to secure sufficient investment within the time period specified in a term loan agreement to separately fund the spinoff. With the approval of our board of directors, and upon similar terms and conditions to those set forth in that loan agreement, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a potential sale of our Fit Pay subsidiary, excluding certain assets on August 6, 2019. In connection with the letter of intent, the purchaser advanced $500,000 of non-interest bearing working capital for Fit Pay. On September 9, 2019, we completed the sale of our Fit Pay subsidiary to Garmin International, Inc. for $3.32 million in cash.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $489,639 and was related to proceeds received in connection with the issuance of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of $1,864,528 and loan proceeds of $346,390 received under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act all of which was partially offset by our term loan repayments of $1,696,875 and fees paid in connection with equity offerings totaling $24,404. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities totaled $1,477,929 and was primarily related to the pay down of $16,000,000 related to the term loan facility with Sagard Holdings Manager, LP, pay downs in both the short and long-term debt totaling $638,881, scheduled term loan repayments of $687,500 and fees paid in connection with equity offerings totaling $47,671. We also prepaid $1,988,498 of the term loan facility with a portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of our discontinued operations. These financing disbursements were funded in part with $1,299,042 in net proceeds received from the sale of our Common Stock from our January 2019 At-the-Market Offering, $1,915,000 in net proceeds received from the sale of shares of our Common Stock in connection with a registered direct public offering and $14,670,579 in net proceeds received from the refinancing with CrowdOut Capital, which closed on May 3, 2019.
Potential Impacts of COVID-19 on Our Business and Operations
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a fluid situation that presents a wide range of potential impacts of varying durations for different global geographies, including locations where we have offices, employees, customers, vendors and other suppliers and business partners.
Like most US-based businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to mitigate the same began to have impacts on our business in March 2020. By that time, much of our first fiscal quarter was completed. During the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we have observed decreases in demand from certain customers, primarily our VA hospitals.
Given the fact our products are sold through a variety of distribution channels, including through hospitals, we expect our sales will experience more volatility as a result of the changing and less predictable operational needs of many customers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are aware that many companies, including many of our suppliers and customers, are reporting or predicting negative impacts from COVID-19 on future operating results. Although we observed significant declines in demand for our products from certain customers during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we believe that it remains too early for us to know the exact impact COVID-19 will have on the long-term demand for our products. We also cannot be certain how demand may shift over time as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may go through several phases of varying severity and duration.
In light of broader macro-economic risks and already known impacts on certain industries that use our products and services, we have taken and are taking targeted steps to lower our operating expenses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations closely and this situation could change based on a significant number of factors that are not entirely within our control and are discussed in this and other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We do not expect there to be material changes to our assets on our balance sheet or our ability to timely account for those assets. Further, in connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the interim financial statements contained herein, we reviewed the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on goodwill and intangible assets and have determined there to be no material impact at this time. We have also reviewed the potential impacts on future risks to the business as it relates to collections, returns and other business-related items.
To date, travel restrictions and border closures have not materially impacted our ability to obtain inventory or manufacture or deliver products or services to customers. However, if such restrictions become more severe, they could negatively impact those activities in a way that would harm our business over the long term. Travel restrictions impacting people can restrain our ability to assist our customers and distributors as well as impact our ability to develop new distribution channels, but at present we do not expect these restrictions on personal travel to be material to our business operations or financial results. We have taken steps to restrain and monitor our operating expenses and therefore we do not expect any such impacts to materially change the relationship between costs and revenues.
Like most companies, we have taken a range of actions with respect to how we operate to assure we comply with government restrictions and guidelines as well as best practices to protect the health and well-being of our employees and our ability to continue operating our business effectively. To date, we have been able to operate our business effectively using these measures and to maintain internal controls as documented and posted. We also have not experienced challenges in maintaining business continuity and do not expect to incur material expenditures to do so. However, the impacts of COVID-19 and efforts to mitigate the same have remained unpredictable and it remains possible that challenges may arise in the future.
The actions we have taken so far during the pandemic include, but are not limited to:
| ● | Requiring all employees who can work from home to work from home; |
| ● | Increasing our IT networking capability to best assure employees can work effectively outside the office; |
| ● | For employees who must perform essential functions in one of our offices: |
| ○ | Having employees maintain a distance of at least six feet from other employees whenever possible; |
| ○ | Having employees work in dedicated shifts to lower the risk all employees who perform similar tasks might become infected by COVID-19; |
| ○ | Having employees stay segregated from other employees in the office with whom they require no interaction; and |
| ○ | Requiring employees to wear masks while they are in the office whenever possible. |
On each of May 6 and May 8, 2020, we and LogicMark, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, received loans (the “Loans”) from Bank of America, NA in the aggregate amount of $346,390.00, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under Division A, Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020. Under the terms of the PPP, PPP loans and accrued interest are forgivable after twenty-four weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. As of June 30, 2020, we have used the entirety of the loan proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP and have not taken any actions that we believe will reduce the amount eligible for forgiveness. As such, the Company believes that the entire amount of the PPP loans will be eligible for forgiveness. However, to the extent any portion of the loan is determined to be ineligible for forgiveness, such unforgiven portion of the loan is payable over 2-5 years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months.
We currently believe revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020 will decline significantly year over year due to the conditions noted. In April 2020, we implemented a COVID-19 mitigation plan designed to further reduce our operating expenses. Actions taken to date include work hour and salary reductions for senior management. These cost reductions are in addition to the significant restructuring actions we initiated in the fourth quarter of 2019. Based on our current cash position, our projected cash flow from operations and our cost reduction and cost containment efforts to date, we believe that we will have sufficient capital to sustain operations for a period of one year following the date of this filing. If business interruptions resulting from COVID-19 were to be prolonged or expanded in scope, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would be negatively impacted. We will continue to actively monitor this situation and will implement actions necessary to maintain business continuity.
Business Outlook
Our future financial performance depends, in large part, on conditions in the markets that we serve and on conditions in the U.S. During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected our results of operations as we experienced meaningful reductions in customer demand for our products and services. During the third quarter, the Company continued to identify and assess risks and modify operating plans following guidance from national, state and local governmental and health authorities. During the third quarter, although we continued to experience minimal supply chain disruption, customer demand was noticeably weaker. In addition, during the third quarter, we took several proactive measures to protect the Company’s balance sheet and strengthen its liquidity position, including: making additional cost reductions through executive wage rollbacks, discretionary spending reductions, corporate travel suspension, and service provider and other expense reductions as well as leveraging government work programs and tax deferrals and extensions to the extent they do not incur interest rate fees or penalties.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economic environment remain extremely fluid and it is difficult to predict with certainty what unforeseen circumstances may develop as we progress through the remainder of the year. As a result, we will continue to proceed cautiously by managing our cost structure and cash flows. In addition, we are rethinking our strategic plans to best position our company to adapt to these changing conditions and to continue to serve our customers and community.
COVID-19 Considerations
The Company’s priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic are protecting the health and safety of our employees and rethinking and reevaluating our operational and strategic plans to overcome the current challenges. In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a material net impact on our consolidated operating results. In the future, the pandemic may cause continued or prolonged reduced demand for our products or services if, for example, the pandemic results in a recessionary economic environment to the markets that we serve; however since the products and services that we offer are essential to the daily lives of our current and future customers, we believe that over the long term, there will continue to be strong demand for our products and services as we rethink our distribution paradigm in the post-COVID-19 environment.
Our ability to operate without significant negative operational impact from the COVID-19 pandemic will in part depend on our ability to protect our employees and our supply chain. The Company has endeavored to follow the recommended actions of government and health authorities to protect our employees, with particular measures in place for those working in our customer facilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we maintained the consistency of our operations during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to innovate in managing our business. However, the uncertainty resulting from the pandemic could result in an unforeseen disruption to our workforce and supply chain as well as impact the purchasing decisions by some of our larger customers.
Through September 30, 2020, the pandemic has not materially impacted the Company’s liquidity position as of such date, however, during the six-month period ended September 30, 2020, we failed to generate operating cash flow as we had in the first quarter of 2020 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. We currently expect to maintain access to the capital markets should the effects of the pandemic on our operations continue. We have not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For additional information on risk factors related to the pandemic or other risks that could impact our results, please refer to “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
The Company conducts an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets each year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an interim impairment review. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company considered the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to be a triggering event for an interim impairment review. Because we were in the early stages of the pandemic, we elected not to undertake a formal review of our assets for impairment purposes.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company, as part of its annual evaluation of goodwill, considered the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and determined there was no triggering event, particularly inasmuch as the Company’s sales began to recover during the second half of the third quarter of 2020. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the pandemic on its business and anticipates continuing to review guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as well as governing audit bodies to guide its future reviews and posture.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that our business has not been affected to a significant degree by inflationary trends during the past three years. However, inflation is still a factor in the worldwide economy and may increase the cost of purchasing products from our contract manufacturers in Asia, as well as the cost of certain raw materials, component parts and labor used in the production of our products. It also may increase our operating expenses, manufacturing overhead expenses and the cost to acquire or replace fixed assets. We have generally been able to maintain or improve our profit margins through productivity and efficiency improvements, cost reduction programs and to a lesser extent, price increases, and we expect to be able to do the same during the remainder of fiscal year 2020. As such, we do not believe that inflation will have a significant impact on our business during the remainder of fiscal year 2020.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not have any undisclosed borrowings or debt, and we have not entered into any synthetic leases. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, included elsewhere in this document.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are not required to provide the information required by this Item since we are a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we are required to perform an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2020. Management has not completed such evaluation but has concluded, based on the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting described below, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
As of September 30, 2020, our management concluded that certain previously disclosed material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting continue to exist. Specifically, we have difficulty in accounting for complex accounting transactions due to an insufficient number of accounting personnel with experience in that area and limited segregation of duties within our accounting and financial reporting functions. Management has recently hired an assistant controller with significant experience to help address this situation. Additional time is required to expand our staff, fully document our systems, implement control procedures and test their operating effectiveness before we can conclude that we have remediated our material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On February 24, 2020, Michael J. Orlando, as shareholder representative (the “Shareholder Representative”), and the other stockholders of Fit Pay, Inc. (collectively, the “Fit Pay Shareholders”), filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, CrowdOut Capital, LLC, and Garmin International, Inc. (the “Complaint”). See Orlando v. Nxt-ID, Inc. No. 20-cv-1604 (S.D.N.Y.). The Complaint alleges that the Company has breached certain contractual obligations under a merger agreement, dated May 23, 2017, between Fit Pay, Inc. and the Company, regarding certain future, contingent earnout payments allegedly that could be owed to the Fit Pay Shareholders from future revenues. The Complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages from the defendants. We believe that these claims are without merit and plan to vigorously defend the action. We waived service of the summons and received an automatic extension of time to answer the Complaint. On May 12, 2020, we filed an answer and counterclaims alleging, among other things, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty of the Shareholder Representative as well as arguing that the Shareholder Representative should be estopped from pursuing these claims. The Company has moved for summary judgment to have the lawsuit dismissed. The Company has been able to successfully stay discovery pending the court’s ruling on motions to dismiss by Garmin International, Inc. and CrowdOut Capital, LLC. Since the litigation is still in its early stages, we are not yet able to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss.
In connection with the sale of Fit-Pay, Inc., Giesecke+Devrient Mobile Security America, Inc. (“GDMSAI”) has identified a disagreement with us over calculation of dividends with respect to GDMSAI’s Series C Non-Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series C”) of the Company. On August 13, 2020, the Company was sued by GDMSAI seeking, among other things, $440,000 of dividends that it believes are owed to it pursuant to the terms of the Series C. We believe that GDMSAI’s claims are not correct and plan to vigorously defend the action. The Company has moved to have the case removed from Delaware to New York, where the Company claims the forum clause requires the claims to be heard. The Company has opposed GDMSAI’s motion for summary judgment. Since the litigation is still in its early stages, we are not yet able to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or estimate the amount or range of potential loss beyond the amount stated in the action.
From time to time we may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. Other than the above, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, or any of our subsidiaries in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results, or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risk factors set forth below contain material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed and included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020 (the “2019 10-K”), and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2020 (the “Q2 10-Q”). When evaluating our business and our prospects, you should consider the risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A of Part I of the 2019 10-K and Item 1A of Part II of the Q2 10-Q, as updated in this Item 1A. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the 2019 10-K and the Q2 10-Q, including our financial statements and the related notes. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. In that case, the market price of our Common Stock could decline.
Risks Related to our Business
Our supply chains in China subject us to risks and uncertainties relating to the laws and regulations of China and the changes in relations between the United States and China.
Under its current leadership, the government of China has been pursuing economic reform policies, including by encouraging foreign trade and investment. However, there is no assurance that the Chinese government will continue to pursue such policies, that such policies will be successfully implemented, that such policies will not be significantly altered, or that such policies will be beneficial to our supply chains in China. China’s system of laws can be unpredictable, especially with respect to foreign investment and foreign trade. The United States government has called for substantial changes to foreign trade policy with China and has raised (as well as has proposed to further raise in the future), tariffs on several Chinese goods. China has retaliated with increased tariffs on United States goods. Moreover, China’s legislature has recently adopted a national security law to substantially change the way Hong Kong has been governed since the territory was handed over by the United Kingdom to China in 1997. This law increases the power of the central government in Beijing over Hong Kong, limits the civil liberties of residents of Hong Kong and could restrict the ability of businesses in Hong Kong to continue to conduct business or to continue to conduct business as previously conducted. The U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from China and President Trump signed an executive order and the Hong Kong Autonomy Act to remove Hong Kong’s preferential trade status. The United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from mainland China. Any further changes in United States trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, including China, resulting in trade wars. Any changes in United States and China relations may have a material adverse effect on our supply chains in China which could materially harm our business and financial condition.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus outbreak or other similar epidemics or adverse public health developments
The COVID-19 Pandemic has caused many governments to implement quarantines and significant restrictions on travel, and to advise that people remain at home where possible and avoid crowds. This has led to many businesses shutting down or limiting operations as well as greater uncertainty in financial markets. Any economic downturns or adverse impacts resulting from COVID-19 or other similar epidemics or adverse public health developments may increase the likelihood of our distributors and/or the VA significantly reducing orders for our products or being unable to pay us in accordance with the terms of already fulfilled orders. To the extent we experience, delays or disruptions, such as difficulty obtaining components and temporary suspension of operations, our existing inventory levels may not be sufficient, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in the event that the slowdown or suspension carries on for a long period of time. As a result of the current or future epidemics, we may also be impacted by shutdowns, employee impacts from illness and other community response measures meant to prevent spread of the virus, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, if we are regularly unable to meet our obligations to deliver our products to distributors and/or the VA, they may decide to terminate or reduce their distribution arrangements with us and our business could be adversely affected. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the virus.
We have been notified by Nasdaq of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and if we are unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing standards.
In the event that our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq and is not eligible for quotation on another market or exchange, trading of our Common Stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our Common Stock, and it would likely be more difficult to obtain coverage by securities analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a national exchange.
On May 24, 2019, we received written notice from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price for our Common Stock, had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive trading days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Further, as previously disclosed on its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on November 21, 2019, we received notice from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Company had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Staff had determined that we were eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until May 18, 2020, to regain compliance.
On April 17, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq that the 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under applicable Nasdaq rules was extended due to the global market impact caused by COVID-19. More specifically, Nasdaq has stated that the compliance periods for any company previously notified about non-compliance will be suspended effective April 16, 2020, through June 30, 2020. On July 1, 2020, companies would receive the balance of any pending compliance period exception to come back into compliance with the applicable Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As a result of this extension, the Company had until August 3, 2020 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Since the Company did not satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by August 3, 2020, the Company received written notification (the “Letter”) from Nasdaq that the Company’s shares of Common Stock would be delisted, unless the Company requested a hearing to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. On August 6, 2020, the Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Hearings Panel”) to appeal the Letter and, on August 7, 2020, Nasdaq notified the Company that a hearing was scheduled for September 10, 2020. The Company provided the Hearings Panel with a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement while requesting additional time to effect compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by securing authorization for a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock Reverse Stock Split”), as further explained in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2020. On September 16, 2020, the Hearings Panel granted the Company’s request for additional time, until October 31, 2020, to complete the Common Stock Reverse Stock Split and demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which deadline to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement was subsequently extended until November 30, 2020 in response to the Company’s request for such extension.
Although we received authorization at the 2019 annual meeting for a reverse stock split, the authorization expired on May 18, 2020, during the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and we believed that it was not in our stockholders’ best interests to implement such reverse during the period of extreme volatility and uncertainty, particularly inasmuch as Nasdaq had provided an extension to comply. The Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which has been adjourned to Tuesday, November 17, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”), requests authorization from the Company’s stockholders to approve the Common Stock Reverse Stock Split. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. If we fail to obtain stockholder approval, our Common Stock will be delisted.
In the event that we are delisted from Nasdaq, our Common Stock may lose liquidity, increase volatility, and lose market maker support. If we are unable to maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, including the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, our Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq, which may negatively impact the value of our securities.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 14, 2020, the Company closed a registered direct offering (the “July Registered Direct Offering”) of (i) an aggregate of 3,778,513 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock; (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 734,965 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”); (iii) warrants, with a term of five (5) years exercisable immediately upon issuance, to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,579,718 shares of Common Stock (the “Registered Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder (the “Registered Warrants”); and (iv) warrants, with a term of five and one-half (5.5) years first exercisable six (6) months after issuance, to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Unregistered Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.65 per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder (the “Unregistered Warrants”), for gross proceeds of $1,864,528, before deducting any offering expenses.
The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement on July 10, 2020 with two (2) accredited investors (“Investors”) providing for the issuance of the Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Registered Warrants and the Unregistered Warrants (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the Registered Warrants and the Registered Warrant Shares were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s currently effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-228624), which was initially filed with the SEC on November 30, 2018 and was declared effective on December 12, 2018 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company filed the prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC on July 13, 2020. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Unregistered Warrants and the Unregistered Warrant Shares were issued to the Investors in a concurrent private placement transaction pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
