CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Readers are cautioned that known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those over which we may have no control and others listed in this Report and our other public filings, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 

You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “hope,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to:

 

  our ability to continue to refine and execute our business plan, including the recruitment of dentists to enroll in our Vivos Integrated Practice (“VIP”) program and utilize The Vivos Method;
     
  our ability to establish and grow our new marketing and distribution model where we create contractual alliances with operators of multiple sleep testing and treatment centers as a means of driving sales of our appliances;
     
  the understanding and adoption by dentists and other healthcare professionals of The Vivos Method, including our proprietary oral appliances, as a treatment for dentofacial abnormalities and/or mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults;
     
  our expectations concerning the effectiveness of treatment using The Vivos Method and patient relapse after completion of treatment;
     
  the potential financial benefits to VIP dentists from treating patients with The Vivos Method;
     
  our potential revenues and profit margin from the enrollment of VIPs, VIP service fees, sales of The Vivos Method treatments and appliances, leases of SleepImage® home sleep testing rings and from our strategic alliance marketing and distribution model;
     
  our ability to properly train VIPs in the use of The Vivos Method inclusive of the services we offer independent dentists for use in treating their patients in their dental practices;
     
  our ability to formulate, implement and modify as necessary effective sales, marketing and strategic initiatives to drive revenue growth including, for example, our new strategic alliance marketing and distribution model, our Medical Integration Division, SleepImage® home sleep apnea test, arrangements with durable medical equipment companies (“DMEs”) and other third-party collaborations;
     
  the viability of our current intellectual property and intellectual property created in the future;
     
  acceptance by the marketplace of the products and services that we market;
     
  government regulations and our ability to obtain applicable regulatory approvals and comply with government regulations including under healthcare laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and non-U.S. equivalent regulatory bodies as well as laws, rules and regulations related to the practice of medicine or dentistry;
     
  our ability to retain key employees;
     
  adverse changes in general market conditions for medical devices and the products and services we offer;
     
  our ability to generate cash flow and profitability and continue as a going concern;
     
  our future financing plans; and
     
  our ability to adapt to changes in market conditions (including as a result of outbreaks of disease such as COVID-19, inflation and volatile geopolitical and capital markets) which could impair our operations, financial performance and ability to raise new capital.

 

These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results of operations or the results of other matters that we anticipate herein could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” “Business” and other sections in this Report as well as the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and our other public filings. You should thoroughly read this Report and the documents that we refer to with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this Report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this Report and the documents that we refer to in this Report and have filed as exhibits to this Report and our other public filings, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

VIVOS THERAPEUTICS INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

BioModeling Solutions, Inc. (“BioModeling”) was organized on March 20, 2007 as an Oregon limited liability company, and subsequently incorporated in 2013. On August 16, 2016, BioModeling entered into a share exchange agreement (the “SEA”) with First Vivos, Inc., a Texas corporation (“First Vivos”), and Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Vivos”), which was established on July 7, 2016 to facilitate SEA transaction. Pursuant to the SEA, all of the outstanding shares of common stock and warrants of BioModeling and all of the shares of common stock of First Vivos were exchanged for newly issued shares of common stock and warrants of Vivos, the legal acquirer.

 

The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with BioModeling as the acquirer for financial reporting and accounting purposes. Upon the consummation of the merger, the historical financial statements of BioModeling became the Company’s historical financial statements and recorded at their historical carrying amounts.

 

On August 12, 2020, Vivos reincorporated from Wyoming to become a domestic Delaware corporation under Delaware General Corporate Law. Accordingly, as used herein, the term “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terminology refer to Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” refers to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On October 25, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors under authority granted by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 22, 2023, was consummated pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on October 25, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in the accompanying financial statements, these footnotes to the financial statements in general to shares of the Company’s common stock, including prices per share of the common stock, reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Fractional shares were not issued, and the final number of shares were rounded up to the next whole share.

 

Description of Business

 

We are a medical technology and services company that features a comprehensive suite of proprietary oral appliances and therapeutic treatments. Our products non-surgically treat certain maxillofacial and developmental abnormalities of the mouth and jaws that are closely associated with breathing and sleep disorders such as mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults. The Company offers three separate clinical pathways or programs to providers—Guided Growth and Development, Lifeline, and Complete Airway Repositioning and Expansion (“CARE”). Each program features certain oral appliances coupled with specific therapeutic treatments, and each clinical pathway is intended to address the specific needs of a diverse patient population with different patient needs. For example, the Guided Growth and Development program features the Vivos Guide and PEx appliances along with adjunctive, non-Company therapies used by a dentist (such as CO2 laser treatments and other therapies) designed for treating palatal growth (growth of the mouth roof) and expansion in pediatric patients as they grow. The mid-range priced Lifeline program features a selection of mandibular advancement devices (“MADs”) such as the Versa and Vida Sleep which are FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-moderate OSA in adults, along with the patented Vida appliance, which is FDA 510(k) cleared as unspecified classification for the alleviation of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (“TMD”) symptoms, bruxism, migraine headaches, and nasal dilation.

The Company’s flagship CARE program, which is part of The Vivos Method, features the Company’s patented DNA, mRNA and mmRNA appliances, which are also FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-severe OSA and snoring in adults. The Vivos Method may also include adjunctive myofunctional, chiropractic/physical therapy, and laser treatments that, when properly used with the CARE appliances, constitute a powerful non-invasive and cost-effective means of reducing or eliminating OSA symptoms. In a small subset of a study, the data has actually shown that The Vivos Method can reverse OSA symptoms in a large portion (up to 80%) of patients. The primary competitive advantage of The Vivos Method over other OSA therapies is that The Vivos Method’s typical course of treatment is limited in most cases to 12 to 15 months, and it is possible not to need lifetime intervention, unlike CPAP and neuro-stimulation implants. Additionally, out of over 45,000 patients treated to date worldwide with the Company’s entire current suite of products, there have been very few instances of relapse.

 

The Company also offers a suite of diagnostic and support products and services to dental and medical providers and distributors who treat patients with OSA or related conditions. Such products and services include (i) VivoScore home sleep screenings and tests (powered by SleepImage® technology), (ii) AireO2 (an electronic health record program designed specifically for use by dentists treating sleep patients), (iii) Treatment Navigator (a concierge service to assist a provider in educating and supporting the doctors as they navigate insurance coverage, diagnostic indications and treatment options), (iv) Billing Intelligence Services (“BIS”) (which optimizes medical and dental reimbursement), (v) advanced training and continuing education courses at the Company’s Vivos Institute in Denver, Colorado, (vi) MyoCorrect, a service through which Vivos-trained providers can provide orofacial myofunctional therapy (“OMT”) to patients via a telemedicine platform, and (vii) the Company’s Medical Integration Division (“MID”), which manages independent medical practices under management and development agreements which pays the Company from six (6%) to eight (8%) percent of all net revenue from sleep-related services as well as development fees.

 

Another aspect of the Company’s business model is to teach, train, and support dentists, medical doctors, and distributors in the use of the Company’s products and services. Dentists who use the Company’s products and services typically enroll in a variety of live or online training and educational programs offered through the Company’s Vivos Institute—an 18,000 sq. ft. facility located near the Denver International Airport. Dentists are able to select the specific program or clinical pathway that they want to focus on, such as Guided Growth and Development or Lifeline or both. Dentists may also enroll in the VIP program for the complete set training, educational, and support services available in all three clinical pathway programs. Dentists enrolled in the VIP Program are referred to as “VIPs.” The Company charges upfront enrollment fees to educate and train new providers. The Company also charges for the ancillary support services listed above and views each product and service as a revenue/profit center.

 

The Company recently entered into a strategic marketing and distribution alliance with an operator of multiple sleep testing and treatment centers in Colorado, under which each party’s products and services will be offered together as a comprehensive solution to OSA patients seeking obstructive sleep apnea treatment. Under this model, the Company will invoice patients (rather than dentists), for treatment by Vivos employed dentists. The Company anticipates this will be the first of a series of similar alliances across the country, marking an important pivot in the Company’s marketing and distribution model for treating patients and distributing its cutting edge OSA appliances.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024.

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and as a result, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-EGC but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company currently expects to retain its status as an EGC until the year ending December 31, 2026, but this status could end sooner under certain circumstances.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue from the sale of products and services. A significant majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from enrolling dentists as either (i) Guided Growth and Development VIPs; (ii) Lifeline VIPs; (iii) combined Guided Growth and Development and Lifeline VIPs; or Premier Vivos Integrated Providers (“Premier VIPs”). Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the majority of VIP enrollments were Premier VIPs. The other, lower priced enrollments were piloted in prior fiscal quarters on a limited basis. They were officially adopted during the second quarter of 2023. For each VIP program, revenue is recognized when control of the products or services is transferred to customers (i.e., VIP dentists ordering such products or services for their patients) in a manner that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services.

 

Following the guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and the applicable provisions of ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five-step model, which entails:

 

  1) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract;
  2) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
  3) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
  4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
  5) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

Service Revenue

 

VIP Enrollment Revenue

 

The Company reviews its VIP enrollment contracts from a revenue recognition perspective using the 5-step method outlined above. All program enrollees, irrespective of their level of enrollment, are commonly referred to as VIPs, unless it is necessary to specify their particular program. Once it is determined that a contract exists (i.e., a VIP enrollment agreement is executed and payment is received), service revenue related to VIP enrollments is recognized when the underlying services are performed. The price of the Premier VIP enrollment that the VIP pays upon execution of the contract is significant, running at approximately $26,200, with different entry levels for the various programs described above. Unearned revenue reported on the balance sheet as contract liability represents the portion of fees paid by VIP customers for services that have not yet been performed as of the reporting date and are recorded as the service is rendered. The Company recognizes this revenue as performance obligations are met. Accordingly, the contract liability for unearned revenue is a significant liability for the Company. Provisions for discounts are provided in the same period that the related revenue from the products and/or services is recorded.

The Company enters into programs that may provide for multiple performance obligations. Commencing in 2018, the Company began enrolling medical and dental professionals in a one-year program (now known as the Premier VIP Program) which includes training in a highly personalized, deep immersion workshop format which provides the Premier VIP dentist access to a team who is dedicated to creating a successful integrated practice.

 

VIP enrollment fees include multiple performance obligations which vary on a contract-by-contract basis. The performance obligations included with enrollments may include sleep apnea rings, a six or twelve month BIS subscription, a marketing package, lab credits and the right to sell our appliances. The Company allocates the transaction price of a VIP enrollment contract to each performance obligation under such contract using the relative standalone selling price method. The relative standalone price method is based on the proportion of the standalone selling price of each performance obligation to the sum of the total standalone selling prices of all the performance obligations in the contract.

 

The right to sell is similar to a license of intellectual property because without it the VIP cannot purchase appliances from the Company. The right to sell performance obligation includes the Vivos training and enrollment materials which prepare dentists for treating their patients using The Vivos Method.

 

Because the right to sell is never sold outside of VIP contracts, and VIP contracts are sold for varying prices, the Company believes that it is appropriate to estimate the standalone selling price of this performance obligation using the residual method. As such, the observable prices of other performance obligations under a VIP contract will be deducted from the contract price, with the residual being allocated to the right to sell performance obligation.

 

The Company uses significant judgements in revenue recognition including an estimation of customer life over which it recognizes the right to sell. The Company has determined that Premier VIPs who do not complete sessions 1 and 2 of training rarely complete training at all and fail to participate in the Premier VIP program long term. Since the beginning of the Premier VIP program, just under one-third of new VIP members fall into this category, and the revenue allocated to the right to sell for those VIPs is accelerated at the time in which it becomes remote that a VIP will continue in the program. Revenue is recognized in accordance with each individual performance obligation unless it becomes remote the VIP will continue, at which time the remainder of revenue is accelerated and recognized in the following month. Those VIPs who complete training typically remain active for a much longer period, and revenue from the right to sell for those VIPs is recognized over the estimated period of which those VIPs will remain active. Because of various factors occurring year to year, the Company has estimated customer life for each year a contract is initiated. The estimated customer lives are calculated separately for each year and have been estimated at 15 months for 2020, 14 months for 2021, 18 months for 2022, 23 months for 2023, and 27 months in 2024, as a result of customers staying active for longer periods of time. The right to sell is recognized on a sum of the years’ digits method over the estimated customer life for each year as this approximates the rate of decline in VIPs purchasing behaviors we have observed.

 

Other Service Revenue

 

In addition to VIP enrollment service revenue, in 2020 the Company launched BIS, an additional service on a monthly subscription basis, which includes the Company’s AireO2 medical billing and practice management software. Revenue for these services is recognized monthly during the month the services are rendered.

 

The Company also offers its VIPs the ability to provide MyoCorrect to the VIP’s patients as part of treatment with The Vivos Method. The program includes packages of treatment sessions that are sold to the VIPs and resold to their patients. Revenue for MyoCorrect services is recognized over the 12-month performance period as therapy sessions occur.

 

11
 

 

Allocation of Revenue to Performance Obligations

 

The Company identifies all goods and services that are delivered separately under a sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on relative fair values. These fair values approximate the prices for the relevant performance obligation that would be charged if those services were sold separately, and are recognized over the relevant service period of each performance obligation. After allocation to the performance obligations, any remainder is allocated to the right to sell under the residual method and is recognized over the estimated customer life. In general, revenues are separated between durable medical equipment (product revenue) and education and training services (service revenue).

 

Treatment of Discounts and Promotions

 

From time to time, the Company offers various discounts to its customers. These include the following:

 

  1) Discount for cash paid in full
  2) Conference or trade show incentives, such as subscription enrollment into the SleepImage® home sleep test program, or a free trial period for the SleepImage® lease program
  3) Negotiated concessions on annual enrollment fee
  4) Credits/rebates to be used towards future product orders such as lab rebates

 

The amount of the discount is determined up front prior to the sale. Accordingly, measurement is determined before the sale occurs and revenue is recognized based on the terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer over the performance period. In rare circumstances, a discount has been given after the sale during a conference which is offering a discount to full price. In this situation, revenue is measured and the change in transaction price is allocated over the remaining performance obligation.

 

The amount of consideration can vary by customer due to promotions and discounts authorized to incentivize a sale. Prior to the sale, the customer and the Company agree upon the amount of consideration that the customer will pay in exchange for the services the Company provides. The net consideration that the customer has agreed to pay is the expected value that is recognized as revenue over the service period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the transaction price to represent the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and any changes in circumstances during the reporting period.

 

Product Revenue

 

In addition to revenue from services, the Company also generates revenue from the sale of its line of oral devices and preformed guides (known as appliances or systems) to its customers, the VIP dentists or OSA patients. These include the DNA appliance®, mRNA appliance®, the mmRNA appliance, the Versa, the Vida, the Vida Sleep and others. The Company expanded its product offerings in the first quarter of 2023 via the acquisition of certain U.S. and international patents, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“AFD”). Revenue from appliance sales is recognized when the control of a product is transferred to the VIP in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The VIP in turn charges the VIP’s patient and or patient’s insurance a fee for the appliance and for his or her professional services in measuring, fitting, and installing the appliance and educating the patient as to its use. The Company contracts with VIPs for the sale of the appliance and is not involved in the sale of the products and services from the VIP to the VIP’s patient.

 

The Company’s appliances are similar to a retainer that is worn in the mouth after braces are removed. Each appliance is unique and is fitted to the patient. The Company utilizes its network of certified VIPs throughout the United States and in some non-U.S. jurisdictions (notably Canada and Australia) to sell the appliances to their customers as well as in two dental centers that the Company operates. The Company utilizes third party contract manufacturers or labs to produce its patient-customized, patented appliances and its preformed guides. The manufacturer designated by the Company produces the appliance in strict adherence to the Company’s patents, design files, treatments, processes and procedures and under the direction and specific instruction of the Company, ships the appliance to the VIP who ordered the appliance from the Company. All of the Company’s contract manufacturers are required to follow the Company’s master design files in production of appliances or the lab will be in violation of the FDA’s rules and regulations. The Company performed an analysis under ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40 and concluded it is the principal in the transaction and is reporting revenue gross. The Company bills the VIP the contracted price for the appliance which is recorded as product revenue. Product revenue is recognized once the appliance ships to the VIP under the direction of the Company.

 

12
 

 

In support of the VIPs using the Company’s appliances for their patients, the Company utilizes a team of trained technicians to measure, order and fit each appliance. Revenue is recognized differently for Company owned centers and distribution alliances with third party sleep centers than it does for revenue from VIPs. Upon scheduling the patient (which is the Company’s customer in this case), the center takes a deposit and reviews the patient’s insurance coverage. The Company recognizes revenue in the centers after the appliance is received from the manufacturer and once the appliance is fitted and provided to the patient.

 

The Company offers certain dentists (known as Clinical Advisors) discounts to standard VIP pricing. This is done to help encourage Clinical Advisors, who help the VIPs with technical aspects of the Company’s products, to purchase Company products for their own practices. In addition, from time to time, the Company offers credits to incentivize VIPs to adopt the Company’s products and increase case volume within their practices. These incentives are recorded as a liability at issuance and are deducted from the related product sale at the time the credit is used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on existing facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, assessing collectability on accounts receivable, the determination of customer life and breakage related to recognizing revenue for VIP contracts, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; valuation assumptions for assets acquired in asset acquisitions; valuation assumptions for stock options, warrants, warrant liabilities and equity instruments issued for goods or services; deferred income taxes and the related valuation allowances; and the evaluation and measurement of contingencies. However, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operations will be affected.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less that are freely available for the Company’s immediate and general business use are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are stated at the net amount expected to be collected, using an expected credit loss methodology to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of factors, including the aging of the receivables, historical collection trends, and charge-offs. When the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, the Company may individually evaluate the related receivable to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be charged-off, including bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 3 to 5 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recognized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the term of the respective leases which range between 5 and 7 years. The Company does not begin depreciating assets until assets are placed in service.

Intangible Assets, Net

 

Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. We test for impairment annually as of December 31. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

 

Intangible assets consist of assets acquired from First Vivos and costs paid to (i) MyoCorrect, from whom the Company acquired certain assets related to its OMT service in March 2021, (ii) Lyon Management and Consulting, LLC and its affiliates (“Lyon Dental”), from whom the Company acquired certain medical billing and practice management software, licenses and contracts in April 2021 (including the software underlying AireO2) for work related to the Company’s acquired patents, intellectual property and customer contracts and (iii) AFD, from whom the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property in March 2023. The identifiable intangible assets acquired from First Vivos and Lyon Dental for customer contracts are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets, which approximates 5 years (See Note 5). The costs paid to MyoCorrect, Lyon Dental and AFD for patents and intellectual property are amortized over the life of the underlying patents, which approximates 15 years.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

We review and evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. We measure the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The fair value is measured based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The evaluation of asset impairment requires us to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

 

Equity Offering Costs

 

Commissions, legal fees and other costs that are directly associated with equity offerings are capitalized as deferred offering costs, pending a determination of the success of the offering. Deferred offering costs related to successful offerings are charged to additional paid-in capital in the period it is determined that the offering was successful. Deferred offering costs related to unsuccessful equity offerings are recorded as an expense in the period when it is determined that an offering is unsuccessful.

Employee Retention Tax Credit

 

The employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”) for 2020 was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (the “Relief Act”). The ERTC provided for changes in the employee retention credit for 2020 and provided an additional credit for the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2021. Employers are eligible for the credit if they experienced either a full or partial suspension of operations during any calendar quarter because of governmental orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic or if they experienced a significant decline in gross receipts based on a comparison of quarterly revenue results for 2020 and/or 2021 and the corresponding quarters in 2019. The ERTC is a refundable credit that employers can claim on qualified wages paid to employees, including certain health insurance costs.

 

According to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Notice 2021-20, “Guidance on the Employee Retention Credit under Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,” the period during which there is a significant decline in gross receipts is determined by identifying the first quarter in 2020 in which the gross receipts are less than 50% of its gross receipts for the same period in 2019. The employee retention credit is available only to eligible employers. Section 2301(c)(2)(A) of the CARES Act defines the term “eligible employer” as any employer carrying on a trade or business during calendar year 2020, and, with respect to any calendar quarter, for which (1) the operation of the trade or business carried on during calendar year 2020 is fully or partially suspended due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19, or (2) such calendar quarter is within the period in which the employer had a significant decline in gross receipts, as described in section 2301(c)(2)(B) of the CARES Act. VIP dentists and potential VIPs were forced to close their offices during 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Therefore, the Company qualifies as an eligible employer under this under the CARES Act.

 

Section 2301(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the CARES Act also provides that if an eligible employer averaged 100 or fewer employees in 2019 (a “small eligible employer”), qualified wages are those wages paid by the eligible employer with respect to an employee during any period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the CARES Act (relating to a calendar quarter for which the operation of a trade or business is fully or partially suspended due to a governmental order) or during a calendar quarter within the period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(II) of the CARES Act (relating to a significant decline in gross receipts). The Company averaged fewer than 80 employees in 2019 and is therefore considered a small eligible employer under the CARES Act.

 

Healthcare plan expenses were not included in the analysis, although they are eligible if an employee has paid health insurance through their paycheck. Section 2301(c)(5)(B) of the CARES Act provides that “wages” include amounts paid by an eligible employer to provide and maintain a group health plan (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), but only to the extent that the amounts are excluded from the gross income of employees by reason of section 106(a) of the Code. The Company pays the first $500 of healthcare insurance for each employee, which generally covers the monthly cost of their insurance. Because of this, the Company conservatively did not include any of the cost of insurance in its analysis. Additionally, PPP loan amounts were deducted from the amount of total wages paid before calculating the qualified ERTC wages. The Company applied for the ERTC using Vivos Therapeutics Inc.’s payroll, which covers 95% of its employees.

 

As indicated above, for 2020, companies were eligible for a credit equal to 50 percent of the first ten thousand dollars of qualified wages paid per employee in the aggregate of each eligible quarter. Therefore, the maximum ERTC for the Company for 2020 is five thousand dollars ($5,000) per employee. For the second and fourth quarters of 2020, the total eligible credit was limited to approximately $0.5 million.

 

15
 

 

For 2021, the ERTC was 70% of the first ten thousand qualified wages paid per employee each quarter. Accordingly, the credit was limited to approximately $0.7 million. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, the Company accounted for the ERTC by analogy to ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, under ASC 450, entities would treat the ERTCs (whether received in cash or as an offset to current or future payroll taxes) as if they were gain contingencies. When applying ASC 450-30, entities would not consider the probability of complying with the terms of the ERC program but, rather, would defer any recognition in the income statement until all uncertainties are resolved and the income is “realized” or “realizable” (i.e., upon receipt of the funds or formal notice by the IRS that the company is entitled to such funds). In our case, the Company elected to follow a more conservative approach and instead of recognizing a receivable for amounts to be received when the amended tax forms were filed in 2022, it was decided to wait for the notice from IRS and cash was received. As for financial statement presentation, it is believed that either classifying the amounts as a reduction to payroll tax expense (expense off-set is however contrary to U.S. GAAP) or as other income to be acceptable with appropriate disclosure of the election made by the company. However, the IRS issued a renewed warning regarding the ERTC on March 7, 2023 urging taxpayers to carefully review the ERTC guidelines. The Company continues to evaluate additional information from the IRS, and elected to disclose the funds received as a separate line item under long-term liabilities on the balance sheet, until more information becomes available from the IRS. As a result, as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, approximately $1.2 million is reflected under long-term liabilities.

 

Loss and Gain Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. Alternatively, when no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the lowest amount in the range. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the range of the loss is estimable, then the Company discloses the range of the possible loss. If the Company cannot estimate the range of loss, it will disclose the reason why it cannot estimate the range of loss. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to it to determine whether an accrual is required, an accrual should be adjusted and if a range of possible loss should be disclosed. Legal fees related to contingencies are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred. Contingencies that may result in gains are not recognized until realization is assured, which typically requires collection in cash.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company computes the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected term using the simplified method which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the respective options. The Company determines the expected price volatility based on the historical volatilities of shares of the Company’s peer group as the Company does not have a sufficient trading history for its Common Stock. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the bio-tech industry similar to the Company in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. The Company recognizes the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award, usually the vesting period. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award were, in substance, a single award. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures and cancellations in the period that the forfeiture or cancellation occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for stock-based compensation.

Leases

 

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, accrued expenses, and operating lease liability - current and non-current portion in our balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires management judgment based on information available at lease commencement. The operating lease ROU assets also include adjustments for prepayments, accrued lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842 that include lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease agreements with a noncancelable term of less than 12 months are not recorded on our balance sheets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results, or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The recorded valuation allowance is based on significant estimates and judgments and if the facts and circumstances change, the valuation allowance could materially change. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including stock options, convertible debt, Preferred Stock, and warrants, to the extent the same are dilutive.

 

Warrant Accounting

 

The Company accounts for its warrants and financial instruments as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Warrants classified as liabilities and other financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and will be revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. Management estimates the fair value of these liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate.

Segment Information

 

We manage our business within one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Presented below is a discussion of new accounting standards including deadlines for adoption assuming that the Company retains its designation as an EGC.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The standard requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2025 for annual periods and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

We have reviewed and considered all other recent accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted and believe there are none that could potentially have a material impact on our business practices, financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

 

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, including $5.7 and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $98.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $5.6 and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had total liabilities of approximately $9.5 million.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $6.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which will not be sufficient to fund operations and strategic objectives over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. Without additional financing, these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Until a state of cash flow positivity is reached, management is reviewing all options to obtain additional financing to fund operations. This financing is expected to come primarily from the issuance of equity securities in order to sustain operations until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. There can be no assurances, however, that adequate additional funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If such funds are not available in the future, the Company may be required to delay, significantly modify or terminate some or all of its operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its stockholders.

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Common Stock Transactions During the Periods Presented

 

On January 9, 2023, the Company closed a private placement (the “January 2023 Private Placement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 80,000 shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 186,667 shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million. Issuance costs associated with the January 2023 Private Placement were approximately $0.6 million.

 

On February 28, 2023, the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, patent applications, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from AFD. Pursuant to the asset acquisition, the Company agreed to issue 10,000 shares of Common Stock in addition to cash consideration of $50,000. As a result of this transaction the Company recorded intangible assets of approximately $0.2 million. As part of the associated Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to a future earnout payment consideration based on a sliding-scale percentage on the volume of future sales, as well as a cash payment of $0.2 million upon the achievement of specified milestones. Per the Company’s accounting policy, the contingent consideration obligation will be recorded as the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable.

 

In addition, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Scott Simonetti, DDS, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of AFD, as part-time Senior Director of Research and Development for an annual salary of approximately $0.1 million and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 16,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $15.25 per share; provided, however, that the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrant are subject to vesting only upon the achievement of specified milestones related to new FDA authorizations for the intangible assets acquired.

 

As disclosed above, on October 25, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company effected a Reverse Stock Split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25. As of the Effective Date, every twenty-five shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock was combined into one share of Common Stock. As a result, the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Effective Date was proportionally reduced from approximately 29,928,786 shares to approximately 1,197,258 shares. The ownership percentage of each of the Company’s stockholders remained unchanged, other than as a result of fractional shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders that would hold a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split had such fractional shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans and the Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding equity awards and common stock purchase warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were proportionately adjusted by the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. The exercise prices of such outstanding options and warrants were also adjusted in accordance with their respective terms. The number of authorized shares of common stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

 

On November 2, 2023, the Company closed a private placement (the “November 2023 Private Placement”) with an institutional investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of $4.0 million of securities in a private placement consisting of (i) 130,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 850,393 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, (iii) a five-year Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 980,393 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.83 per share and (iii) an 18-month Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) to purchase up to 980,393 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.83 per share. Issuance costs associated with the November 2023 Private Placement were approximately $0.5 million.

 

In December 2023, 437,393 of the 850,393 pre-funded warrants granted on November 2, 2023 were exercised. In January 2024, the remaining 413,000 pre-funded warrants were exercised.

 

On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant inducement letter agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with the same institutional investor in the November 2023 Private Placement pursuant to which the investor agreed to exercise for cash the entirety of the Series B Warrant at an exercise price of $4.02 per share (with such exercise price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market), resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.0 million. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, in consideration for the immediate exercise of the Series B Warrant in full, the Company agreed to issue to the investor, in a new private placement transaction (the “Inducement Transaction”): (i) a 5-year, Series B-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share, and (ii) an 18-month, Series B-2 common stock purchase warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share (collectively, the “Inducement Warrants” and such aggregate 1,470,592 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants, the “Inducement Warrant Shares”). The Inducement Warrants are identical to each other, other than their dates of expiration, and are substantially identical to the Series B Warrant. Issuance costs associated with the February inducement were approximately $0.3 million.

 

On June 10, 2024, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with V-CO Investors LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“V-CO”). V-CO is an affiliate of New Seneca Partners Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Seneca”), a leading independent private equity firm. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company sold to V-CO in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”): (i) 169,498 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 3,050,768 shares of Comon Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”, with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant being referred to as the “PFW Shares”), and (iii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 3,220,266 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Warrants”, and with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrant being referred to as the “Warrant Shares”).

 

V-CO paid a purchase price of $2.329 for each Share and Pre-Funded Warrant Share and associated Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with such price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Private Placement closed on June 10, 2024. The Company received gross proceeds of $7,500,000 from the Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general working capital and general corporate purposes. No placement agent was used in connection with the Private Placement. The Common Stock Purchase Warrant has a five year term, an exercise price of $2.204 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrant has a term ending on the complete exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant, an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Warrants also contain customary stock-based (but not price-based) anti-dilution protection as well as beneficial ownership limitations that may be waived at the option of each holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.

 

The SPA provides that for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the offering, Seneca shall be entitled to (i) receive notice of any regular or special meeting of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the time such notice is provided to the members of the Board, (ii) receive copies of any materials delivered to the Company’s directors in connection with such meetings and (iii) allow one Seneca representative (who shall be an officer or employee of Seneca) to attend and participate (but not vote) in all such meetings of the Board. The SPA also includes standard representations, warranties, indemnifications, and covenants of the Company and V-CO.

 

The terms of the SPA require the Company to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the Shares, the PFW Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registerable Securities”) for resale. Such Resale Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on July 30, 2024, and was declared effective by the SEC on August 7, 2024. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company must also use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement or a new registration statement if the Resale Registration Statement expires) for a period of three (3) years after the date of effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or for such shorter period as such securities no longer constitute Registrable Securities, subject to certain limitations specified in the SPA.

NOTE 9 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

Stock Options

 

In 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2017 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2017 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. The Company’s shareholders have approved a total reserve of 53,333 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

 

In April 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2019 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2019 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. The Company’s shareholders originally approved a total reserve of 13,334 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2019 Plan. At each of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2020 and 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by an aggregate of 81,334 shares of Common Stock such that, after such amendments, and prior to any grants, 94,667 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance.

 

On September 22, 2023, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Company common stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the 2019 Plan by 80,000 shares from an aggregate of 94,667 shares to an aggregate of 174,667 shares.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 the Company granted stock options for the purchase of 105,000 and 12,700 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average of $2.38 and $10.25 respectively. Options for the purchase of 4,036 and 20,000 shares of common stock expired as of June 30, 2024, and 2023.

Measurement date closing price of Common Stock (1)  $1.88 
Contractual term (years) (2)   5.0

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 105,000 options were granted to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. No other related-party transactions occurred.

 

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

 

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily due to permanent differences, state taxes and change in valuation allowance. A full valuation allowance was in effect, which resulted in the Company’s zero tax expense.

 

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred since inception. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 to record the deferred tax asset that is not likely to be realized.

 

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgement including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

 

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Our business was materially impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 and to some extent thereafter and through the early part of 2023 due to the actions of governmental bodies that mandated quarantines and lockdowns that resulted in many of our VIPs and potential VIPs having to close their offices. The impact of COVID-19 on our business diminished somewhat as 2023 progressed. However, the residual effects of the pandemic on dental workforce availability as well as patient precautionary measures continued to negatively impact our VIP dental practices and our revenue across the U.S. and Canada during 2022 and into 2023. We believe new enrollments during at least the first half of 2023 continued to be negatively impacted by the ongoing overall workforce uncertainties in the dental market. Thus far in 2024, we do not believe COVID-19 issues are impacting our business in any material way. We continue to monitor the overall landscape of potential viral or other diseases which may pose a threat, and we will respond appropriately should any such threats materialize.

The Company believes that as the U.S. experiences a persistent and protracted period of inflation, which has increased (and may continue to increase), the Company and its suppliers’ costs as well as the end cost of the Company’s products to consumers may also increase. In the early part of 2024, there is considerable economic and capital markets uncertainty arising out of several global factors, including but not limited to, Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, the Hamas attacks on Israel in October of 2023, Israel’s response to those attacks, and social unrest and protests on university campuses have emerged as new barriers to both near and long-term economic recovery.

If an economic recession or depression commences and is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business as demand for our products could decrease. To date, the Company has been able to manage inflation risk without a material adverse impact on its business or results of operations. However, inflationary pressures (including increases in the price of raw material components of the Company’s appliances) made it necessary for the Company to adjust its standard pricing for its appliance products effective May 1, 2022, and we may have to do so again in 2024. The full impact of such price adjustments on sales or demand for the Company’s products is not fully known at this time and may require the Company to adjust other aspects of its business as it seeks to grow revenue and, ultimately, achieve profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

 

An additional inflation-related risk is the Federal Reserve’s response, which up to this point has been mainly to raise interest rates. Such actions have, in times past, created unintended consequences in terms of the impact on housing starts, overall manufacturing, capital markets, and banking. If such disruptions become systemic, like in the recession of 2008, then the impact on the Company’s revenue, earnings potential and access to capital of both inflation and inflation-fighting responses would be impossible to know or calculate.

 

These conditions could cause an economic recession or depression to commence, and if such recession or depression is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business as demand for its products could decrease. Such conditions have also had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on the capital markets, with public stock price decreases and volatility, which could make it more difficult for the Company to raise needed capital at the appropriate time.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for certain offices, medical facilities and training facilities. These leases have original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2029. Most leases include an option to renew, and the exercise of a lease renewal option typically occurs at the discretion of both parties. For the purpose of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms are deemed not to include options to extend the lease until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

 

In January 2017, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 2,220 square feet of office in Johnstown, Colorado that was to commence on March 1, 2018 and end February 28, 2025. As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of $0.3 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 6.0%.

 

In May 2018, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 3,643 square feet of office in Highlands Ranch, Colorado that was to commence on November 1, 2018 and end on January 1, 2029.

In April 2019, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 14,732 square feet of office space for its former corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado that was to commence on September 23, 2020 and end on March 22, 2028. As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of less than $1.4 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 7.1%.

 

In April 2022, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 8,253 square feet of office space for its corporate headquarters in Littleton, Colorado that commenced May 16, 2022 and ends on November 15, 2027.

NOTE 13 - NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock (“EPS”) is computed by dividing (i) net loss (the “Numerator”), by (ii) the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period (the “Denominator”).

 

The calculation of diluted EPS is also required to include the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, convertible debt and Preferred Stock, and other Common Stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method, in order to compute the weighted average number of shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, all Common Stock equivalents were antidilutive.

 

Presented below are the calculations of the Numerators and the Denominators for basic and diluted EPS (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

 

   2024   2023   2024   2023 
   For the Three Months Ended

NOTE 14 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the measurement of fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date

 

Level 2 - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly through market collaboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date

 

28
 

 

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

As discussed in Note 8, on January 9, 2023, the Company closed on the November 2023 Private Placement for the sale by the Company of shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of pre-funded warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 186,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and the issuance of warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $30 per share. The warrants are initially exercisable commencing January 9, 2023 through their expiration date of July 9, 2028. In addition, as part of the November 2023 Private Placement, we agreed to amend the existing outstanding common stock purchase warrant held by the purchaser and issued in January 2023 to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $30.00 per share with an expiration date of July 5, 2028. Such amendment, which became effective upon the closing of the November 2023 Private Placement, reduced the exercise price of the January warrant to $3.83 per share and extended the expiration date of such warrant to November 2, 2028. The amendment also restated in its entirety the definition of “Black Scholes Value” contained in the January warrant which resulted in the classification of the warrant from liability to equity. The liability associated with those warrants was initially recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon issuance, and subsequently re-measured as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and November 2, 2023 when the November 2023 Private Placement closed. The changes in the fair value between issuance, the March 31, 2023 measurement date, the June 30, 2023 measurement date, the September 30, 2023, and the November 2, 2023 measurement date are recorded as a component of other income (expense), in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. The Company concluded that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement, met the definition of a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and classified the liability as Level 3. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 or Level 2, and had a warranty liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) of approximately $2.2 million.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 the Company had no transfers of its assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Significant Concentrations

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions, the balances of which frequently exceed federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of these financial institutions and believes the Company’s risk is negligible. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. If any of the financial institutions with whom the Company does business was to be placed into receivership, the Company may be unable to access the cash they have on deposit with such institutions. If the Company were unable to access cash and cash equivalents as needed, the financial position and ability to operate the business could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions in the United States with an aggregate balance of $6.9 million.

 

Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographies and industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on certain customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. No single customer represented more than 10% of our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024. The Company maintains reserves for potential bad debts.

 

Supplier Concentration

 

As previously disclosed, the Company relies on third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for the raw materials and components used in our appliances and to manufacture and assemble our products. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had five suppliers that accounted for approximately 80% of the Company’s total purchases during the year. The Company expects to maintain existing relationships with these vendors.

 

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

As previously reported, on May 16, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million (the “Equity Requirement”). On June 25, 2024, the Company reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K that it believed it had stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million as of the date of the filing of such report as a result of the Company’s closing of a $7.5 million equity private placement on June 10, 2024.

 

On June 27, 2024, the Company met with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to discuss the Company’s past, current, and anticipated future compliance with the Equity Requirement, and requested the continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq. On July 5, 2024, the Company was notified that the Panel had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, with the SEC by August 15, 2024, evidencing the Company’s compliance with the Equity Requirement. The Company is working diligently to ensure its continued compliance with the Equity Requirement, including exploring a potential additional equity capital financing or financings to stay above the minimum threshold of the Equity Requirement. The Company anticipates that its previously disclosed strategic marketing and distribution alliance will also positively impact the Company’s revenue growth and stockholders’ equity in upcoming fiscal quarters. However, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to raise sufficient capital or generate sufficient revenue or operating results to maintain compliance with the Equity Requirement. If the Company fails to achieve ongoing compliance and its common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, such delisting would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s stock price, the ability of its stockholders to buy or sell their common stock, the ability of the Company to raise capital and on the Company’s reputation, all of which could make it significantly more difficult to operate the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Some of the numbers included herein have been rounded for the convenience of presentation. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Overview

 

We are a revenue stage medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative treatment alternatives for patients with dentofacial abnormalities and/or patients diagnosed with mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults. We believe our technologies and conventions represent a significant improvement in the treatment of mild to severe OSA versus other treatments such as continuous positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) or palliative oral appliance therapies. Our alternative treatments are part of The Vivos Method.

 

The Vivos Method is an advanced therapeutic protocol, which often combines the use of customized oral appliance specifications and proprietary clinical treatments developed by our company and prescribed by specially trained dentists in cooperation with their medical colleagues. Published studies have shown that using our customized appliances and clinical treatments led to significantly lower Apnea Hypopnea Index scores and have improved other conditions associated with OSA. Over 45,000 patients have been treated to date, worldwide, with our entire current suite of products by more than 2,000 trained dentists.

 

Our business model is focused around dentists, and our program to train independent dentists and offer them other value-added services in connection with their ordering and use of The Vivos Method for patients is called the Vivos Integrated Practice (“VIP”) program.

 

Strategic Alliance Agreement. We have historically sought to generate revenues based on enrollments of dentists in our VIP program and sales of Vivos Method appliances and devices and services to our VIPs. In June 2024, we announced an important pivot in the way we market and distribute our Vivos Method appliances and devices. This new strategy is seeking to drive revenue by entering into contractual alliances with dentists, sleep center operators and other healthcare providers.

 

This strategy pivot was accompanied by a $7.5 million equity growth investment V-CO Investors LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“V-CO”), which is an affiliate of New Seneca Partners, Inc. (“Seneca”), a leading North American private equity sponsor based in Southfield, Michigan. This investment materially bolstered our cash on hand and stockholders’ equity and has facilitated the launch of the new strategic alliance described below. We hope this will lead to other similar alliances, which would positively impact our revenue growth.

 

On June 12, 2024, VSI Providers, PLLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“VSI”), and Rebis Health Holdings, LLC (“Rebis”), entered into a strategic alliance agreement (the “SAA”) providing for a joint marketing and distribution arrangement under which each party’s products and services will be offered together as a comprehensive solution to patients seeking sleep apnea treatment. Rebis and its affiliates operate multiple sleep testing and treatment centers in Colorado. VSI has a network of licensed dental professionals trained in providing various sleep apnea treatment-related services and, through its affiliates, access to additional products and services related to sleep apnea treatment. The Company and V-CO are third-party beneficiaries of the SAA. Under the SAA VSI is providing Rebis with access to licensed dental professionals trained in providing certain dental services (each a “VSI Dental Provider”) to provide such dental services in designated practice locations (as described in the SAA); provided, that nothing in the SAA restrict Rebis’ right to utilize the dental services of its own employees in a similar capacity as the VSI Dental Providers. Pursuant to the SAA, Rebis will be entitled to receive from VSI an agreed upon percentage of patient payments collected by VSI Dental Providers, less certain administrative fees charged by VSI and agreed to direct cost deductions.

 

The term of the SAA commences as of June 10, 2024, and continues for a period of two (2) years unless sooner terminated. At the end of the initial term of the agreement, the SAA will automatically renew for additional one (1) year terms unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term. VSI and Rebis each may terminate the SAA (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) on breaches of the SAA, bankruptcy, and similar events. The SAA contains standard covenants regarding compliance with applicable laws, a two year non-solicitation of personnel provision, intellectual property, insurance and maintaining the confidentiality of communications and proprietary information. The SAA also contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, indemnification, and liability limitations.

 

We are aiming to replicate the marketing and distribution alliance memorialized by the SAA with other healthcare professionals as part of a growing network of providers who offer The Vivos Method as an alternative treatment for mild to severe OSA. We believe this will provide us with an important opportunity to increase our revenues going forward.

 

Management Services Agreement. Airway Integrated Management Company, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“AIM”), and V-CO entered into a management services agreement (the “MSA”). The purpose of the MSA is to create an incentive for V-CO to assist in establishing and growing our strategic alliance with Rebis.

 

Pursuant to the MSA, V-CO will provide certain management, consulting, and advisory services to the Company related to the SAA. The term of the MSA commences on June 10, 2024, and continues until the later of (i) June 10, 2027 or (ii) such time as V-CO has received two (2) times its original investment in the Private Placement (the “MSA Term”). The MSA will automatically renew for additional terms of one (1) year unless any party sooner terminates the agreement in accordance with the terms of the MSA. During the MSA Term, V-CO will provide to the Company and AIM oversight, management consulting and advisory services, including, without limitation: (i) management of general and administrative expenses of the SAA, (ii) advice on strategy of the SAA with a view towards maximizing the revenue and profit generated by the SAA, (iii) searches for additional potential sleep center operators to form strategic alliances with, (iv) making introductions to industry contacts of V-CO and its affiliates (including Seneca) for purposes of expanding the business and opportunities of the Company, AIM, VSI and the SAA, and (v) performing other services as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company, VSI or the AIM, and agreed to by V-CO, taking into account the level of compensation for services and other engagements that V-CO and its affiliates may have (collectively, the “Management Services”). As consideration for the Management Services, AIM has agreed to pay to V-CO for three (3) years a management fee equal to $37,500 per quarter, payable quarterly in arrears, with a minimum of $25,000 per quarter paid in cash and the remaining up to $12,500 per quarter paid in the form of cash or restricted Common Stock, as decided by V-CO (the “Management Fee”). The value of restricted Common Stock, if any, paid as part of the Management Fee will be calculated based upon the average 5-day closing price of the Common Stock ending as of the end of each applicable quarter (or, if the Common Stock is not then publicly listed, as determined in good faith by the Board using industry standard valuation metrics).

 

In addition to the Management Fee, V-CO will also receive a quarterly cash participation payment from AIM (the “Participation Payment”) equal to an agreed upon percentage of the net positive cash flow (as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) generated by the operations of the SAA and received by VSI pursuant to the SAA (“Net Cash Flow”). The Participation Payment shall accrue (the “Accrued Amount”) and not be paid until the Company on a consolidated basis is cash flow positive from operations, as reported in its Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings (the “Participation Trigger Event”) (meaning the Company shall receive all Net Cash Flow (if any) from VSI until the occurrence of the Participation Trigger Event). The Profit Participation shall continue to be earned quarterly until the later of such time as (i) V-CO receives an amount equal to two (2) times its investment in the Private Placement; or (ii) or June 10, 2027. The MSA contains customary covenants regarding confidentiality and indemnification. Under the MSA, V-CO will also assign to AIM or its affiliates V-CO’s entire right, title, and interest in any intellectual property it creates while working for or on behalf of AIM.

 

See Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements for additional background information on our Company and current product and service offerings.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

Our business was materially impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 and to some extent thereafter and through the early part of 2023 due to the actions of governmental bodies that mandated quarantines and lockdowns that resulted in many of our VIPs and potential VIPs having to close their offices. The impact of COVID-19 on our business diminished somewhat through 2023. However, the residual effects of the pandemic on dental workforce availability as well as patient precautionary measures continued to negatively impact our VIP dental practices and our revenue across the U.S. and Canada during 2022 and into 2023. Thus far in 2024, we do not believe COVID-19 issues are impacting our business in any material way. We continue to monitor the overall landscape of potential viral or other diseases which may pose a threat, and we will respond appropriately should any such threats materialize.

Material Items, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business

 

We believe that the following items and trends may be useful in better understanding our results of operations.

 

Establishment and Growth of Our New Strategic Alliance Model. We are placing significant emphasis on our new provider-based marketing and distribution model to grow our revenues. In June 2024, we announced the execution of a strategic marketing and distribution alliance with Rebis, an operator of multiple sleep testing and treatment centers in Colorado. This alliance, which we hope will be the first of a series of similar alliances across the country, marks an important pivot in our marketing and distribution model for our cutting edge OSA appliances. Under the new alliance, we are collaborating with Rebis to offer OSA patients a full spectrum of evidence-based treatments such as CPAP machines, and our own advanced, proprietary and FDA-cleared CARE oral medical devices, oral appliances and additional adjunctive therapies and methods. This new model differs from our current model which emphasizes a subscription-based relationship with our VIP dentists together with sales of our OSA devices to VIPs and the provision of services to VIPs. The new marketing and distribution strategic alliance is based on a revenue-sharing model between us and Rebis.

 

We are placing significant emphasis on establishing and growing this new model as a means of increasing our revenue. However, this new model is unproven and we have no operating history associated with this new model. There is therefore a lack of information for you to evaluate our future prospects utilizing this new model. Moreover, there is a material risk that this new model will not increase our revenues or be additive to our stockholders’ equity in the manner we anticipate. Our inability to introduce and scale this marketing and distribution model would materially harm our business and operating results and likely cause our stock price to suffer.

 

New VIP Enrollments (Service Revenue). Enrolling dental practices as VIPs has historically been the first step in our ability to generate new revenue (although the growth of strategic partner model could lessen our dependence on VIP enrollments). As part of the VIP enrollment fee, we enter into a service contract with VIPs under which they receive training on the use of the Vivos treatment modalities. VIPs have the ability to start generating revenue for us and themselves after this training. To entice dentists to enroll as VIPs, we have worked with different marketing programs (which we generally call a “discovery track”) with respect to the payment of VIPs enrollment fee, including discounts and payment plans. Once VIPs execute their VIP enrollment agreement, the discovery track allows the VIP 45 to 60 days to obtain financing and pay the enrollment fee. Ongoing support and additional training is provided throughout the year under the services contract, which includes access to our proprietary Airway Intelligence Services, which provides the VIP with resources to help simplify the sleep apnea diagnostic and Vivos treatment planning process.

 

In addition to enrollment service revenue, we offer additional services, such as our Billing Intelligence Services offering, and MyoCorrect orofacial myofunctional therapy services, which was introduced in April 2021. Revenue for these services is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with ASC 606.

 

We are also engaging in strategic collaborations to market the benefits of the Vivos treatment modalities and VIP enrollment to dentists, including our cooperative relationships with various medical providers to deliver diagnostic and medical consultation services to people across North America who suffer from OSA.

 

We recognize revenue on VIP enrollments once the contract is executed, payment is received, and as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with ASC 606.

 

Product Sales Revenue. Throughout the latter part of 2023 and into the second quarter of 2024, the Company experienced a decline in Product Sales Revenue. As previously noted, we believe this decline was due in part to certain adverse events in the larger sleep apnea oral appliance market, and not specific to Vivos. Another factor contributing to the decline was our Reductions In Force (RIF) which we undertook during 2022 and 2023. However, those product sales revenue declines began to reverse somewhat in the second quarter of 2024. Enrolling new VIPs has historically been key to our ability to generate revenue from product sales, and lower VIP enrollments during 2023 and into the first quarter of 2024 also dampened product sales revenue. Equally as important, however, is the number of Vivos treatment case starts that our existing VIPs commence, as these lead to appliance orders and related revenue. Once a VIP is fully trained, we encourage them to start cases. However, our experience has been that VIPs typically start slowly as they introduce The Vivos Method into their practices. While we work with VIPs to screen their patients for OSA with our SleepImage® home sleep apnea ring test (which we expect will encourage Vivos Method case starts), not all VIPs incorporate our The Vivos Method into their practices at the same rate. We utilize Practice Advisors to help VIPs with onboarding and starting and increasing case starts over time. We believe VIPs can recoup their investment in VIP enrollment with approximately eight Vivos Method case starts, but as noted above, many VIPs start and also maintain their case starts at a significantly slower rate. We presently have a concentration of active VIPs who regularly start new Vivos Method treatment cases. Approximately 40% of our VIPs initiated a new case as of June 30, 2024. We are working not only to increase the number of VIPs overall, but the number of active VIPs in terms of case starts. More active VIPs are also more likely to take advantage of our other service revenue generating offerings such as MyoCorrect orofacial myofunctional therapy and medical Billing Intelligence Services.

In addition, an important aspect of our strategy to increase product revenues relates to the products and related intellectual property we acquired in March 2023 from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC (“AFD”), including a custom single arch device with an FDA 510(k) clearance for treating TMD and/or Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). We have rebranded the AFD products as Vivos VidaTM and Vivos Vida SleepTM. During the first quarter of 2024, certain of those products were among the fastest growing segment of our entire product line, and we expect to continue to increase sales of these acquired products throughout the remainder of 2024 and beyond.

 

Marketing to DSOs. During the second half of 2021, we increased our efforts to market The Vivos Method and related products and services to larger dental support organizations (“DSOs”). Marketing to DSOs creates an opportunity to enroll and onboard multiple dental practices as VIPs under one common ownership structure. This allows us to leverage training and support across multiple VIP practices and gain economies of scale with the goal of faster growth, both in VIP enrollments and in Vivos case starts. As we cautioned previously, DSOs tend to move slowly when adopting new technologies or programs, and we do not expect DSO training or product sales to materially impact overall revenue in 2024. Our other dentist enrollment program, which we refer to as the Airway Alliance Program (“AAP”), was also established in the fourth quarter of 2021 and launched in the first quarter of 2022. This subscription program was designed to attract the vast majority of the estimated 200,000 U.S. and Canadian dentists who are being strongly encouraged by the American Dental Association to screen their patients for sleep apnea. The AAP program has not contributed meaningful revenue in the first six months of 2024.

 

Clinical Trial Work. Our efforts to engage in research to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of our products and obtain additional regulatory clearances for the use of our products is an important aspect of our overall strategy. In this regard, on May 29, 2023, we and Stanford University executed an agreement to commence a sponsored clinical research study to evaluate the efficacy of our FDA-cleared DNA appliance compared to the standard of care, CPAP for treatment of sleep apnea. Our DNA device is currently indicated for the treatment of mild to severe sleep apnea and jaw repositioning in adults (and in the case of severe OSA, along with positive airway pressure (PAP) and/or myofunctional therapy, as needed). Enrollment of 150 patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index score of 15 or greater) will be randomly assigned to either treatment with our FDA-cleared DNA appliance or CPAP. The protocol has been finalized and the initial start-up fees have been incurred, however, the timing of the enrollment of patients is being determined. This trial may not meet its designated endpoints, and therefore additional FDA clearances for the DNA device may not be obtained.

 

Distribution Agreements. During 2023, we entered into distribution collaborations with third parties to expand access of our products to potential patients. For example, the SAA with Rebis is expected to deliver our proprietary treatment options and protocols to mild to severe OSA patients who have failed being candidates for CPAP. By collaborating with Rebis and other similar sleep clinics, we will be able to drive top line revenue and lower customer acquisition costs and overhead. We hope that these strategic initiatives will lead to revenue growth opportunities for us in 2024 and beyond, and our ability to capitalize on these initiatives is expected to be a material aspect of our sales and marketing program going forward.

 

On June 1, 2023, we entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Lincare, a leading supplier in the United States of respiratory products, such as CPAP equipment. Lincare currently provides respiratory products to approximately 1.8 million patients nationwide. Pursuant to this agreement, Lincare began to distribute certain of our products in the United States, including the Vida™, VidaSleep™, and Versa®. The distribution agreement was subject to a 90-day pilot program in Colorado and Florida. Within weeks of starting the pilot program, Lincare reported an initial 36% positive patient response to our products subject to the agreement.

On October 24, 2023, we announced the conclusion of this pilot program and an amendment to our Lincare agreement to appoint Lincare as our exclusive DME distributor in the U.S. for a period of 6-months to distribute the products described above. Since completion of the pilot, the Lincare roll out has progressed much slower than anticipated, and it is unclear to the Company just what to expect from this relationship going forward. We no longer expect the Lincare program to materially impact revenue in the near term.

 

Also, in October 2023, we announced an exclusive distribution agreement with NOUM DMCC, a Dubai-based company focused on diagnostic testing and treatment product distribution for healthcare providers and hospital networks treating obstructive sleep apnea patients throughout the Middle East-North Africa region. Subject to regulatory approvals, which are pending in several countries under the agreement, we could see revenue from this collaboration in the latter part of 2024.

 

Impact on Sales from Unregistered Oral Appliance Publicity. On or about March 1, 2023, CBS News reported the tragic case of a woman with a malocclusion and breathing problem who had received treatment via a fixed oral appliance known as the AGGA (Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance). The AGGA is a non-FDA cleared oral appliance developed by Dr. Steve Galella, a dentist from Tennessee. According to the televised CBS report, the device created serious issues with her dentition and jaws, resulting in the loss of several anterior teeth. The patient filed a $10 million lawsuit against the treating dentist.

 

Vivos was not named in the lawsuit, nor was our device implicated in creating the tooth displacement and other concerns that gave rise to the lawsuit. Vivos has never had any association or affiliation with the AGGA device or its promoters, nor has the Company ever endorsed these kind of counterfeit fixed oral appliances that make unproven and unsubstantiated claims.

 

The FDA regulates and categorizes all medical devices claiming to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or TMD disorders as Class II devices and requires that they have a 510(k) clearance in order to be used with patients. The AGGA device does not have any such FDA clearance, nor are there any known peer-reviewed and published studies validating the safety and efficacy of this device. In stark contrast, all Vivos oral appliances are duly registered or cleared by the FDA according to strict FDA guidelines. Our appliances and attending protocols for proper use are also backed by extensive peer reviewed published research. Moreover, Vivos appliances operate on a completely different mechanism of action than that of the AGGA and similar devices on the market. Vivos has always maintained that such appliances tend to create inflammation and pose other risks that are unacceptable. The AGGA is a fixed appliance, whereas Vivos appliances are removable devices.

 

Unfortunately, and despite our best efforts to distance ourselves and our products from the AGGA device, the entire matter generated a certain amount of confusion and fear amongst both existing VIP dentists and other non-affiliated dentist prospects. Thus, new provider enrollments and sales of Vivos appliances in the first quarter 2023 decreased as word spread. By the latter part of June 2023, we began to see a partial rebound in new enrollments. Nevertheless, certain Vivos-trained providers remain very cautious and are being far more selective in their cases, which has continued to impact appliance sales through the end of 2023 and into 2024.

 

Our core product is The Vivos Method, not any one single device. We believe this is a key distinguishing factor for our approach. The Vivos Method involves far more than just our oral appliances. It begins with proper and thorough diagnosis and ends with a customized multidisciplinary treatment plan that likely incorporates one or more of several treatment modalities, including oral myofunctional therapy, SOT chiropractic, physical therapy, laser therapy, nutritional counseling, CPAP, mandibular advancement, CARE device therapy, and more. The Vivos Method is thus a fully integrated end-to-end diagnostic, training, and treatment platform that can adapt to the needs of virtually any and every breathing disordered sleep patient.

 

Inflation. The U.S. has been experiencing a period of inflation which has increased (and may continue to increase) our and our suppliers’ costs as well as the end cost of our products to consumers. To date, we have been able to manage inflation risk without a material adverse impact on our business or results of operations. However, inflationary pressures (including increases in the price of raw material components of our appliances) made it necessary for us to adjust our standard pricing for our appliance products effective May 1, 2022. In addition, future price adjustments may be required as we seek to grow revenue and, ultimately, achieve profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

 

34
 

 

An additional inflation-related risk is the Federal Reserve’s response, which up to this point has been to raise interest rates. Such actions have, in times past, created unintended consequences in terms of the impact on housing starts, overall manufacturing, capital markets, and banking. If such disruptions become systemic, as occurred in the recession of 2008, then the impact on our revenue, earnings and access to capital of both inflation and inflation-fighting responses would be impossible to know or calculate.

 

Supply Chain. From time to time, we may experience supply chain challenges due to forces beyond our control. For example, the Suez Canal blockage earlier in 2021 caused some delay in shipments of SleepImage® rings from China. Overall, however, as our appliances are made in the U.S., we have not experienced significant supply chain issues as a result of COVID-19 or otherwise, although this may change in future periods.

 

Seasonality. We believe that the patient volumes of our VIPs will be sensitive to seasonal fluctuations in urgent care and primary care activity. Typically, the fourth quarter tends to be one where we see higher enrollment levels for new VIP dentists, however, as previously mentioned reported, in the fourth quarter of 2023 we did not see that same pattern emerge. The first and second quarters of each year tend to be our weakest quarter of the year for new enrollments, and to a certain extent, appliance sales as well. This was the case in the first half of 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024. Winter months see a higher occurrence of influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia and similar illnesses; however, the timing and severity of these outbreaks vary dramatically. Additionally, as consumers shift toward high deductible insurance plans, they are responsible for a greater percentage of their bill, particularly in the early months of the year before other healthcare spending has occurred, which may lead to lower than expected patient volume or an increase in bad debt expense during that period. Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate in the future depending on these and other factors.

 

War in Ukraine and Middle East Hostilities. In addition, worldwide supply chain constraints and economic and capital markets uncertainty arising out of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the attacks by Hamas on Israel in October of 2023 and Israel’s responses have created much social unrest and protests, disrupted commercial and capital markets, and emerged as new barriers to long-term economic recovery. If an economic recession or depression commences and is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business as demand for our products could decrease. Capital markets uncertainty, with public stock price decreases and volatility, could make it more difficult for us to raise capital when needed.

Potential Nasdaq Delisting. As previously reported, on May 16, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million (the “Equity Requirement”). On June 25, 2024, the Company reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K that it believed it had stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million as of the date of the filing of such report as a result of the Company’s closing of a $7.5 million equity private placement on June 10, 2024.

 

On June 27, 2024, the Company met with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to discuss the Company’s past, current, and anticipated future compliance with the Equity Requirement, and requested the continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq. On July 5, 2024, the Company was notified that the Panel had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, with the SEC by August 15, 2024, evidencing the Company’s compliance with the Equity Requirement.

 

The Company is working diligently to ensure its continued compliance with the Equity Requirement, including exploring a potential additional equity capital financing or financings to stay above the minimum threshold of the Equity Requirement. The Company anticipates that its previously disclosed strategic marketing and distribution alliance will also positively impact the Company’s revenue growth and stockholders’ equity in upcoming fiscal quarters. However, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to raise sufficient capital or generate sufficient revenue or operating results to maintain compliance with the Equity Requirement. If the Company fails to achieve ongoing compliance and its common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, such delisting would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s stock price, the ability of its stockholders to buy or sell their common stock, the ability of the Company to raise capital and on the Company’s reputation, all of which could make it significantly more difficult to operate the Company.

 

Key Components of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

 

Net revenue. We recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations over time as our customers receive the benefit of the promised goods and services, which generally occurs over a short period of time. Performance obligations with respect to appliance sales are typically satisfied by shipping or delivering products to our VIPs or, in the case of enrollment or service revenue, upon our satisfaction of performance obligations associated with VIP enrollments. Revenue consists of the gross sales price, net of estimated allowances, discounts, and personal rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from the gross sale price.

 

Cost of sales. Cost of goods sold primarily consists of direct costs attributable to the purchase from third party suppliers and related products. It also includes freight costs, fulfillment, distribution, and warehousing costs related to products sold.

 

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing costs primarily consist of personnel costs for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, commissions, advertising and marketing costs, website enhancements, and conferences for our sales and marketing staff.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our administrative, human resources, finance and accounting employees, and executives. General and administrative expenses also include contract labor and consulting costs, travel-related expenses, legal, auditing and other professional fees, rent and facilities costs, repairs and maintenance, and general corporate expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense is comprised of depreciation expense related to property and equipment, amortization expense related to leasehold improvements, and amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets.

 

Other income. Other income relates to interest income in 2024, as well as excess warrant fair value and change in fair value of warrant liability in 2023.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 19%, to approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in total revenue during the second quarter of 2024 was impacted by an increase of approximately $0.4 million in product revenue due to higher product sales, coupled with an increase of approximately $0.2 million in service revenue. The increase in product revenue is attributable to an increase of approximately $0.3 million in appliances sales, coupled with an increase of approximately $0.1 million in guide sales, all to existing VIPs. The increase in service revenue is attributable to an increase of approximately $0.3 million in VIP enrollment revenue followed by an increase decrease of approximately $0.1 million in sponsorship, seminar and other service revenue. This was offset by a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in Myofunctional therapy revenues. BIS and sleep testing services revenue remained unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we enrolled 32 VIPs and recognized VIP enrollment revenue of approximately $1.2 million, an increase of approximately 28% in enrollment revenue, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, when we enrolled 43 VIPs for a total of approximately $0.9 million. Revenue growth in the second quarter of 2024 was impacted by a higher incidence of breakage in contracts, this accelerated revenue recognition on several contracts for VIPs who did not complete their training during the first 90 days of their enrollment. Approximately $0.6 million in revenue was attributable to breakage during the three months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to approximately $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

37
 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 2,033 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $2.0 million, a 28% increase in revenue from the three months ended June 30, 2023, when we sold 2,083 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $1.5 million. The increase is directly attributable to a 71% decrease in discounts offered during the same period, with less than $0.1 million in discounts offered during the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to “Material Items, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business” section above for events that impacted our product sales.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

 

Cost of sales remained relatively constant with an increase of $0.1 million or 8% at approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily related to $0.1 million in higher costs associated with appliance lab fees, directly related to an increase in lab fees from our primary vendors.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit increased by approximately $0.6 million to $2.7 million. This increase was attributable to an increase in revenue of approximately $0.7 million offset by an increase in cost of sales of approximately $0.1 million. Gross margin increased to 65% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 62% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due primarily to the revenue increase.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.8 million, or approximately 30%, to approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The primary driver of this decrease was $0.8 million in professional fees and a change in personnel and related compensation of approximately $0.4 million, including salaries and benefits, paid time off, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related expenses, as a result of the reduction in force implemented during the second quarter of 2023. Other drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses included a decrease of approximately $0.2 million related to taxes, licenses and fees, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million related to insurance, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in travel, meals and entertainment, a decrease of approximately $0.1 in training and education.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $0.3 million or approximately 46%, to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by lower commissions and digital media and marketing supplies.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly during the period due to some assets being fully depreciated and a small amount of depreciable assets placed into service.

 

Other Income

 

Other income of less than $0.1 million includes interest income from financial institutions.

 

Excess warrant fair value and change in fair value of warrant liability, net of issuance costs

 

The liability for the warrants issued in the January 9, 2023 private placement totaled approximately $14.5 million which included 186,667 pre-funded warrants with a fair value of approximately $6.7 million and 266,667 additional common stock purchase warrants with a fair value of approximately $7.7 million. The difference between the fair value of the $14.5 million liability-classified warrants and the net proceeds received of approximately $8.0 million, or approximately $6.5 million, was recognized as a day-one non-operating expense. The change in fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $10.2 million, or $9.6 million of other income net of issuance costs of $0.6 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The net impact of the private placement warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $3.2 million of other income. The derivative warrant liability was eliminated in November 2023, and as a result, no change in fair value of warrant liability was recorded in the second quarter of 2024.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

 

Revenue

 

Revenue increased approximately $0.2 million, or 3%, to approximately $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in total revenue during the second quarter of 2024 was impacted by an increase of approximately $0.3 million in product revenue due to higher product sales, coupled with a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in service revenue. The increase in product revenue is attributable to an increase of approximately $0.1 million in appliances sales, coupled with an increase of approximately $0.2 million in guide sales, all to existing VIPs. The decrease in service revenue is attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in Myofunctional therapy revenues followed by a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in VIP enrollment revenue. This was offset by an increase of approximately $0.2 million in sleep testing services, sponsorship, seminar and other service revenue. BIS revenue remained unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we enrolled 82 VIPs and recognized VIP enrollment revenue of approximately $2.1 million, a decrease of approximately 6% in enrollment revenue, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, when we enrolled 81 VIPs for a total of approximately $2.2 million. Revenue decrease in the first six months of 2024 was impacted by updates to key inputs in our revenue recognition methodology, primarily estimated customer lives. As part of our annual process, the estimated customer lives are calculated separately for each year and was estimated to be 27 months in 2024, an increase of 17%, compared to 23 months in 2023, and an even higher increase of 50% when compared to 18 months in 2022. Estimated customer lives impacts the amortization of revenue to be spread over a longer period of time, thus decreasing the revenue that is recognized over the same period when compared to 2023. Although this negatively impacts our revenue recognition, it is a result of customers staying active for a longer period of time, thus increasing our customer retention year-over-year. Additionally, our revenue was impacted by new entry levels into the VIP program, ranging from $2,500 to $50,000 and adding an $8,000 pediatric program, all of which were received positively by our providers. However, the lower priced enrollment options resulted in lower revenue per contract. This, coupled with lower enrollments during 2023, resulted in lower service revenue for the first half of 2024.

 

39
 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 4,029 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $2.9 million, a 5% increase in revenue from the six months ended June 30, 2023, when we sold 4,452 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $2.8 million. The increase is directly attributable to a 45% decrease in discounts offered during the same period, with less than $0.2 million in discounts offered during the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to approximately $0.4 million of discounts offered during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Refer to “Material Items, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business” section above for events that impacted our product sales.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

 

Cost of sales remained relatively constant with an increase of less than $0.1 million, or 2%, at approximately $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to slightly over $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily related to $0.3 million in higher costs directly related to an increase in lab fees from our primary vendors, offset by a decrease of less than $0.3 million related to lower costs associated with the ring lease program and VIP training.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit increased by approximately $0.2 million to $4.6 million. This increase was attributable to a slight increase in revenue of approximately $0.2 million offset by an increase in cost of sales of less than $0.1 million. Gross margin remained constant at 61% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $3.4 million, or approximately 27%, to approximately $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The primary driver of this decrease was $1.7 million in professional fees and a change in personnel and related compensation of approximately $1.1 million, including salaries and benefits, paid time off, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related expenses, as a result of the reduction in force implemented beginning with the second quarter of 2023. Other drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses included a decrease of approximately $0.2 million related to bad debt expense, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million related to insurance, and a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in training and education. This was offset by an increase of approximately $0.1 million in fees related to being a public company.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.2 million to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to slightly over $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by lower commissions and digital media and marketing supplies.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Depreciation and amortization decreased slightly during the period due to some assets being fully depreciated and a small amount of depreciable assets placed into service.

 

Other Income

 

Other income of less than $0.1 million includes interest income from financial institutions.

 

Excess warrant fair value and change in fair value of warrant liability, net of issuance costs

 

The liability for the warrants issued in the January 9, 2023 private placement totaled approximately $14.5 million which included 186,667 pre-funded warrants with a fair value of approximately $6.7 million and 266,667 additional common stock purchase warrants with a fair value of approximately $7.7 million. The difference between the fair value of the $14.5 million liability-classified warrants and the net proceeds received of approximately $8.0 million, or approximately $6.5 million, was recognized as a day-one non-operating expense. The change in fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $10.2 million, or $9.6 million of other income net of issuance costs of $0.6 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net impact of the private placement warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $3.2 million of other income. The derivative warrant liability was eliminated in November 2023, and as a result, no change in fair value of warrant liability was recorded in the first half of 2024.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, including $5.7 and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $98.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $5.6 and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had total liabilities of approximately $9.5 million.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $6.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which will not be sufficient to fund operations and strategic objectives over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Without additional financing, these factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have successfully implemented cost savings measures and significantly reduced cash used in operations. However, sales did not grow in 2023 or in the first half of 2024 as anticipated, as our product offerings and strategies continue to be refined. As such, we have raised equity capital in late 2023 and early 2024 and will be required to obtain additional financing to satisfy our cash needs and bolster our stockholders’ equity for Nasdaq compliance purposes, as management continues to work towards increasing revenue to achieve cash flow positive operations in the foreseeable future.

 

Until a state of cash flow positivity is reached, management is reviewing all options to obtain additional financing to fund operations. This financing is expected to come primarily from the issuance of equity securities in order to sustain operations until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. We expect the SAA with Rebis to increase patient volume, drive top line revenue and lower customer acquisition costs and overhead. However, there can be no assurances that adequate additional funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If such funds are not available in the future, or that our SAA agreement will result in the patient volume and financial results within the expected timeline and we may be required to delay, significantly modify or terminate some or all of our operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders.

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table presents a summary of our cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

 

   2024   2023 
         
Net cash provided by (used in):          
Operating activities  $(5,564)  $(6,398)
Investing activities   (211)   (534)
Financing activities   11,035    7,355 

 

40
 

 

Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is a decrease of approximately $0.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease is due primarily to a $1.5 million decrease in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the absence of a 2023 unfavorable net change in the fair value of warrant liability of approximately $2.3 million, offset by an increase of $0.3 million in accounts receivable a decrease of approximately $0.3 million in contract liability, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and a decrease of approximately $0.8 million in fair value of warrants issued for services.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures for software of $0.2 million related to the development of software for internal use expected to be placed in service in 2024. This compares to net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $0.5 million due to capital expenditures for internally developed software and an asset purchase.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, is attributable to proceeds of $11.0 million from the issuance of Common Stock, net of approximately $0.4 million of professional fees and other issuance costs, in our February warrant inducement and June private placement. This compares to net cash used in investing financing for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $7.4 million, attributable to gross proceeds of $8.0 million from the issuance of Common Stock, net of approximately $0.6 million of professional fees and other issuance costs, from our private placement in January 2023.

 

Critical Accounting Policies Involving Management Estimates and Assumptions

 

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies Involving Management Estimates and Assumptions” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as amended. We have reviewed and determined that those critical accounting policies and estimates remain our critical accounting policies and estimates as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective could have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. For additional information on recently issued accounting standards and our plans for adoption of those standards, please refer to the section titled Recent Accounting Pronouncements under Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Trade Policy Risk. Certain of our products or components are manufactured outside the United States. Most products imported into the United States is subject to duty and restrictive quotas on the amount of products that can be imported from certain countries into the United States each year. Because of the duty rates and quotas, changes in U.S. trade policy as reflected in various legislation, trade preference programs and trade agreements have the potential to materially impact our sourcing strategy and the competitiveness of its contract manufacturers. We manage this risk by continually monitoring U.S. trade policy, analyzing the impact of changes in such policy and adjusting its manufacturing and sourcing strategy accordingly.

 

Foreign Currency Risk. We receive United States dollars for all of our product sales. Currently, all inventory purchases from our non-U.S. contract manufacturers are also denominated in United States dollars; however, should we make purchases in foreign currencies in the future, purchase prices for our products may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar, which may have the effect of increasing our cost of goods in the future.

 

Commodity Price Risk. We are subject to commodity price risk arising from price fluctuations in the market prices of sourced titanium and steel products or the various raw materials components of its manufactured products. We are subject to commodity price risk to the extent that any fluctuations in the market prices of its purchased titanium and steel products and raw materials are not reflected by adjustments in selling prices of its products or if such adjustments significantly trail changes in these costs. We neither enter into significant long-term sales contracts nor enter into significant long-term purchase contracts. We do not engage in hedging activities with respect to such risk.

 

41
 

 

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. Certain financial instruments potentially subject our company to a concentration of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts and vendor receivables. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high-credit, quality financial institutions. The balances in these accounts exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which we describe in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as amended (the “Form 10-K”).

 

Remediation of Material Weakness

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that significant deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated as soon as possible. We believe we have made progress towards remediation and continue to implement our remediation plan for the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our remediation plan, which we implemented in 2023, included: (i) increasing dedicated personnel and the use of third-party consultants with technical account expertise, (ii) improving our internal reporting processes, (iii) designing and implementing new controls, and (iv) enhancing our supporting technology. In particular, we believe we have significantly improved our revenue recognition procedures, our technical accounting capabilities, including with respect to accounting for our outstanding warrants, and process-level control activities.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we have taken great strides to complete the full remediation of all of our internal control deficiencies and associated material weakness by undertaking the plan noted above. We believe that additional review and testing is required in the coming periods during 2024 before we can affirmatively declare that the material weakness has been fully remediated.

 

We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively. We expect to engage in this testing during 2024. However, we cannot provide assurance that these or other measures will fully remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner. If our remediation of these material weaknesses is not effective, it may cause our company to become subject to investigation or sanctions by the SEC. It may also adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock. There can be no assurance that all existing material weaknesses have been identified, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except as described above, we made no other changes in internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Below is a description of our outstanding pending litigation matters. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in the below described or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

 

On June 5, 2020, we filed suit against Ortho-Tain, Inc. (“Ortho-Tain”) in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado seeking relief from certain false, threatening, and defamatory statements to our business affiliate, Benco Dental (“Benco”). We believe such statements have interfered with our business relationship and contract, causing harm to our reputation, loss of goodwill, and unspecified monetary damages. On February 12, 2021, we amended our complaint to add claims for false advertising and unfair business practices, as well as additional variants of the original claims to address Ortho-Tain’s alleged false advertising campaign against us in the fall of 2020. Our amended complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief to prevent what we believe are defamatory statements and interference with our business relationships by Ortho-Tain.

 

We further seek declaratory relief to refute the defendant’s false allegations, as well as monetary damages. Prior to filing suit, we worked collaboratively with legal counsel at Benco to address and resolve this matter. Such efforts were unsuccessful. On February 26, 2021, Ortho-Tain, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. We opposed the motion. On June 21, 2022, the Tenth Circuit entered an order and judgment. Pursuant to such order, the appeal was terminated, and the case remanded to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado for further proceedings. On July 13, 2022, the Clerk of Court for the Tenth Circuit transferred jurisdiction back to the District Court. On February 14, 2024, the District Court issued an order denying Ortho-Tain’s motion to dismiss after analyzing the issue of litigation privilege under the standard ordered by the Tenth Circuit. In response, Ortho-Tain filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s order on February 14, 2024. The appeal has been docketed in the Tenth Circuit, and the record has been completed. On March 5, 2024, Vivos filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Ortho-Tain filed its response to the motion to dismiss on March 19, 2024. Vivos’ reply in support of the motion to dismiss was filed on March 26, 2024. On March 20, 2024, the Court ordered that Vivos’ motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction would be referred to the panel of judges to be assigned to the appeal, and that no ruling on the motion to dismiss would be issued at that time. Ortho-Tain filed its opening brief on April 29, 2024. Vivos filed its Answer Brief on May 29, 2024. Ortho-Tain filed its response brief on June 20, 2024.

 

On July 22, 2020 Ortho-Tain filed a Complaint at Law (the “Ortho-Tain Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois naming Vivos, along with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, R. Kirk Huntsman, Benco Dental Supply Co., Dr. Brian Kraft, Dr. Ben Miraglia, and Dr. Mark Musso. The Ortho-Tain Complaint alleges violation of the Lanham Act and an alleged civil conspiracy among the defendants to violate the Lanham Act by an alleged false designation of origin related to a presentation given by Dr. Brian Kraft at an event sponsored by the Company and Benco Dental. Ortho-Tain also alleges that the actions of the defendants, including the Company, diverted sales from Ortho-Tain, deprived Ortho-Tain of advertising value and resulted in a loss of goodwill to Ortho-Tain. Ortho-Tain also alleges two separate breach of contract actions against Dr. Brian Kraft and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, R. Kirk Huntsman. On September 9, 2020, the Company moved to dismiss the claims against it. On May 14, 2021, the United States District Judge entered an order granting the Company’s motion to stay this case pending the outcome of a substantially similar, first-filed suit by the Company pending in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. In light of the stay, the Court denied, without prejudice, the Company’s pending motion to dismiss. On March 2, 2023, the Court lifted the stay.

 

43
 

 

On April 13, 2023, the Court ordered the parties to exchange Rule 26(a) disclosures by May 1, 2023 and issue initial written discovery by May 15, 2023. Further, the Court referred the matter to the Magistrate Judge to conduct a settlement conference. On April 28, 2023, the Court clarified that Dr. Musso’s court ordered participation in settlement and discovery did not waive his objections to personal jurisdiction and venue, and that Defendants did not need to file a response to the Complaint at this time. On June 2, 2023, the case was reassigned to the Hon. LaShonda A. Hunt. On July 11, 2023, the Magistrate Judge scheduled a settlement conference for September 1, 2023. On August 1, 2023, Judge Hunt set a deadline to refile motions to dismiss as August 15, 2023, stayed discovery pending resolution of the motions, and authorized the parties to cancel the settlement conference. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on August 15, 2023, and a reply brief on October 3, 2023. The Parties are currently awaiting a decision on the motion to dismiss.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

February 2024 Inducement

 

On February 14, 2024, we entered into a warrant inducement letter agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with the same institutional investor in the November 2023 Private Placement pursuant to which the investor agreed to exercise for cash the entirety of the Series B Warrant at an exercise price of $4.02 per share (with such exercise price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market), resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.0 million. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, in consideration for the immediate exercise of the Series B Warrant in full, we agreed to issue to the investor, in a new private placement transaction (the “Inducement Transaction”): (i) a 5-year, Series B-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share, and (ii) an 18-month, Series B-2 common stock purchase warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share (collectively, the “Inducement Warrants” and such aggregate 1,470,592 shares of Common Stock underlying the Inducement Warrants, the “Inducement Warrant Shares”). The Inducement Warrants are identical to each other, other than their dates of expiration, and are substantially identical to the Series B Warrant.

 

June 2024 Private Placement

 

On June 10, 2024, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with V-CO Investors LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“V-CO”). V-CO is an affiliate of New Seneca Partners Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Seneca”), a leading independent private equity firm. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company sold to V-CO in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”): (i) 169,498 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 3,050,768 shares of Comon Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”, with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant being referred to as the “PFW Shares”), and (iii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 3,220,266 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Warrants”, and with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrant being referred to as the “Warrant Shares”).

 

V-CO paid a purchase price of $2.329 for each Share and Pre-Funded Warrant Share and associated Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with such price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Private Placement closed on June 10, 2024. The Company received gross proceeds of $7,500,000 from the Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general working capital and general corporate purposes. No placement agent was used in connection with the Private Placement. The Common Stock Purchase Warrant has a five year term, an exercise price of $2.204 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrant has a term ending on the complete exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant, an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Warrants also contain customary stock-based (but not price-based) anti-dilution protection as well as beneficial ownership limitations that may be waived at the option of each holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.

 

The SPA provides that for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the offering, Seneca shall be entitled to (i) receive notice of any regular or special meeting of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the time such notice is provided to the members of the Board, (ii) receive copies of any materials delivered to the Company’s directors in connection with such meetings and (iii) allow one Seneca representative (who shall be an officer or employee of Seneca) to attend and participate (but not vote) in all such meetings of the Board. The SPA also includes standard representations, warranties, indemnifications, and covenants of the Company and V-CO.

 

The terms of the SPA require the Company to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the Shares, the PFW Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registerable Securities”) for resale. Such Resale Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on July 30, 2024, and was declared effective by the SEC on August 7, 2024. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company must also use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement or a new registration statement if the Resale Registration Statement expires) for a period of three (3) years after the date of effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or for such shorter period as such securities no longer constitute Registrable Securities, subject to certain limitations specified in the SPA.

VIVOS THERAPEUTICS, INC.

 

PRE-FUNDED COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, V-CO Investors, LLC or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) until this Warrant is exercised in full (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to 3,050,768 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated June 10, 2024, between the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

 

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 

 

 

b) Exercise Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date. The remaining unpaid exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.0001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
     
  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
     
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Reserved.

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof), immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

 

6

 

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

7

 

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

8

 

 

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

e) No Contravention. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

f) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

k) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, V-CO Investors LLC or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 10, 2029 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to 3,220,266 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated June 10, 2024, between the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

 

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 
 

 

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.204, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
     
  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
     
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

 
 

 

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

 
 

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 
 

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 
 

 

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Reserved.

 

 
 

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while the Warrant is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

 
 

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the original issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

 
 

 

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

 
 

 

e) No Contravention. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

f) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

h) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

k) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

m) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

(ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of each Purchaser required to be performed at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been performed; and

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.4, if the Commission sets forth a limitation on the number of Shares or Warrant Shares permitted to be registered on the Resale Registration as a secondary offering, the Company shall register the maximum number of Registrable Securities that it is permitted to register, and will, following effectiveness of the Resale Registration, file a new registration statement registering the resale of any remaining unregistered portion of the Registrable Securities as soon as is practicable in light of the requirements of applicable laws, rules, regulations and guidance of the Commission.

The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.

Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

 

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

 

 

 

(b) Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Resale Registration or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

 

(d) Experience and Acknowledgement of Risk. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Company is speculative and risky, that such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(e) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(f) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

 

(g) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.

 

 

 

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Resale Registration) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), (iii) if requested by a Purchaser, if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the effective date of the Resale Registration if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), or if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.

 

 

 

 

(d) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

4.2 Board Observation Right. For a period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, Seneca will be entitled to (i) receive notice of any regular or special meeting of Board of Directors at the time such notice is provided to the members of the Board of Directors, (ii) receive copies of any materials delivered to the Company’s directors in connection with such meetings and (iii) allow one representative of Seneca (who shall be an officer or employee of Seneca) to attend and participate (but not vote) in all such meetings of the Board of Directors. Any such representative shall be required, as a condition of his or her participation in any such meeting, to have executed a customary confidentiality and market standoff agreement in favor of the Company. Seneca is expressly acknowledged as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 4.2.

 

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

4.4 Publicity. The Company and Seneca shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

4.5 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

 

4.6 Reserved.

 

4.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes.

 

 

 

 

4.8 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

4.9 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

 

 

 

 

4.10 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

4.11 Reserved.

 

4.12 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

4.13 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities at any time.

 

4.14 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees, if required, to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

 

4.15 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

 

4.16 Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

5.2 Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.

 

5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

 

 

 

5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

 

5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.2, 4.8 and this Section 5.8.

 

5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

 

5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

 

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

 

 

 

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.15 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.

VSI and RH acknowledge and agree that the Vivos Method (except with such portions thereof as may be excepted pursuant to Section 4.2 below) is Confidential Information of VSI Affiliate, Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., which RH will protect and safeguard pursuant to the obligations outlined in this Agreement.

 

4.2 Confidential Information shall not include information that, at the time of disclosure and as established by documentary evidence: (i) is or becomes generally available to and known by the public other than as a result of, directly or indirectly, any breach of this Section 4 by the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, agents, attorneys, third-party advisors, successors, and permitted assigns (collectively “Representatives”); (ii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source, provided that such third party is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such Confidential Information; (iii) was rightfully known by or in the possession of the Receiving Party or its Representatives before being disclosed by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was or is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to or use, in whole or in part, of any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

 

 
 

 

4.3 The Receiving Party shall: (A) protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care; (B) not use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or permit it to be accessed or used, for any purpose other than to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (C) not disclose any such Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Receiving Party’s Representatives who need to know the Confidential Information to assist the Receiving Party, or act on its behalf, to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Agreement.

 

4.4 If the Receiving Party becomes subject to a legal requirement by a government agency or court order (collectively “Legal Process”), whether by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand or other similar process, to disclose any of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of any such Legal Process so that the Disclosing Party may in its sole discretion, and at its own cost and expense, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to resist or limit disclosure (collectively “Protective Remedy”). The Receiving Party shall reasonably assist the Disclosing Party in seeking and enforcing the Protective Remedy. Provided that the foregoing procedures have been followed, whether or not the Disclosing Party succeeds at securing a Protective Remedy, or if the Receiving Party is legally prohibited from notifying the Disclosing Party of the Legal Process, if and when the Receiving Party reasonably determines that it has exhausted all legal procedures and remedies under this Section and remains legally required to disclose the Confidential Information to comply with the Legal Process, it may do so without liability hereunder.

 

4.5 Upon termination of this Agreement or any time at the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall immediately return all Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party together with any copies thereof or destroy all such Confidential Information delivered to the Receiving Party and provide written certification of the destruction thereof to Disclosing Party, except for (a) documents subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work product protection between Receiving Party and its counsel, (b) documents created pursuant to automatic IT backup, and (c) documents to be kept by Receiving Party pursuant to applicable law, regulation or Receiving Party’s document retention policies; provided that in each case, any such retained documents shall continue to be bound by Receiving Party’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement for as long as they are so retained, notwithstanding termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

4.6 The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 4 caused by any of its Representatives. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, or otherwise at any time during or after the Term of this Agreement at the Disclosing Party’s written request, the Receiving Party shall promptly return, and shall require its Representatives to return to the Disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic or other form or media, of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. In addition to all other remedies available at law, the Disclosing Party may seek equitable relief (including injunctive relief) against the Receiving Party and its Representatives to prevent the breach or threatened breach of this Section 4 and to secure its enforcement.

 

4.7 Each Party, as the Receiving Party, acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, there may be no adequate remedy at law for any breach by the Receiving Party of its obligations hereunder, that any such breach or any unauthorized use or release of the Confidential Information may result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, and therefore, upon any breach or threatened breach, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including specific performance without having to post or secure any bond, and that such remedies are in addition to any remedies at law it may have. All remedies hereunder are cumulative.

 

 
 

 

4.8 The Parties agree that all Confidential Information will be subject to the protection of this Section 4 for a period of five (5) years after termination or expiration of this Agreement, except with respect to trade secrets, which shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 4 for so long as the information constitutes a trade secret.

Each Party shall provide all assistance and cooperation as may be necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocation of ownership of Intellectual Property and to enable the owning Party to apply for, obtain, perfect, and enforce its rights therein, including requiring its or its Affiliates’ Personnel and Representatives to execute and deliver such applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments, and other documents and instruments as may be requested by the owning Party.

 

5.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in an Addendum, under no circumstances shall a Party, as a result of this Agreement, obtain any ownership interest or other right, title, or interest in or to any other Intellectual Property or Confidential Information of the other Party, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, including any items controlled or developed by the other Party, or delivered by the other Party, at any time pursuant to this Agreement.

 

5.3 The Parties shall attempt to resolve any disputes as to ownership of any Developed Intellectual Property through good-faith negotiations.

(B) the Participation Payment within thirty (30) days of the end of each fiscal quarter (except for the initial Participation Payment, which will be paid within fifteen (15) days of the Parent Company’s filing of the applicable SEC filing demonstrating the occurrence of the Participation Trigger Event).

The Company and the Manager agree that the Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 4. In no event will the Company or any of its direct or indirect officers, directors, managers, principals, stockholders, partners, members, equity holders, employees, agents, representatives or affiliates (“Company Related Parties”) be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, including, without limitation, loss of profits or lost business, even if the Company or any Company Related Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

BioModeling Solutions, Inc. (“BioModeling”) was organized on March 20, 2007 as an Oregon limited liability company, and subsequently incorporated in 2013. On August 16, 2016, BioModeling entered into a share exchange agreement (the “SEA”) with First Vivos, Inc., a Texas corporation (“First Vivos”), and Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Vivos”), which was established on July 7, 2016 to facilitate SEA transaction. Pursuant to the SEA, all of the outstanding shares of common stock and warrants of BioModeling and all of the shares of common stock of First Vivos were exchanged for newly issued shares of common stock and warrants of Vivos, the legal acquirer.

 

The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with BioModeling as the acquirer for financial reporting and accounting purposes. Upon the consummation of the merger, the historical financial statements of BioModeling became the Company’s historical financial statements and recorded at their historical carrying amounts.

 

On August 12, 2020, Vivos reincorporated from Wyoming to become a domestic Delaware corporation under Delaware General Corporate Law. Accordingly, as used herein, the term “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terminology refer to Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” refers to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On October 25, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors under authority granted by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 22, 2023, was consummated pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on October 25, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in the accompanying financial statements, these footnotes to the financial statements in general to shares of the Company’s common stock, including prices per share of the common stock, reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Fractional shares were not issued, and the final number of shares were rounded up to the next whole share.

 

Description of Business

 

We are a medical technology and services company that features a comprehensive suite of proprietary oral appliances and therapeutic treatments. Our products non-surgically treat certain maxillofacial and developmental abnormalities of the mouth and jaws that are closely associated with breathing and sleep disorders such as mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults. The Company offers three separate clinical pathways or programs to providers—Guided Growth and Development, Lifeline, and Complete Airway Repositioning and Expansion (“CARE”). Each program features certain oral appliances coupled with specific therapeutic treatments, and each clinical pathway is intended to address the specific needs of a diverse patient population with different patient needs. For example, the Guided Growth and Development program features the Vivos Guide and PEx appliances along with adjunctive, non-Company therapies used by a dentist (such as CO2 laser treatments and other therapies) designed for treating palatal growth (growth of the mouth roof) and expansion in pediatric patients as they grow. The mid-range priced Lifeline program features a selection of mandibular advancement devices (“MADs”) such as the Versa and Vida Sleep which are FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-moderate OSA in adults, along with the patented Vida appliance, which is FDA 510(k) cleared as unspecified classification for the alleviation of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (“TMD”) symptoms, bruxism, migraine headaches, and nasal dilation.

 

 

The Company’s flagship CARE program, which is part of The Vivos Method, features the Company’s patented DNA, mRNA and mmRNA appliances, which are also FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-severe OSA and snoring in adults. The Vivos Method may also include adjunctive myofunctional, chiropractic/physical therapy, and laser treatments that, when properly used with the CARE appliances, constitute a powerful non-invasive and cost-effective means of reducing or eliminating OSA symptoms. In a small subset of a study, the data has actually shown that The Vivos Method can reverse OSA symptoms in a large portion (up to 80%) of patients. The primary competitive advantage of The Vivos Method over other OSA therapies is that The Vivos Method’s typical course of treatment is limited in most cases to 12 to 15 months, and it is possible not to need lifetime intervention, unlike CPAP and neuro-stimulation implants. Additionally, out of over 45,000 patients treated to date worldwide with the Company’s entire current suite of products, there have been very few instances of relapse.

 

The Company also offers a suite of diagnostic and support products and services to dental and medical providers and distributors who treat patients with OSA or related conditions. Such products and services include (i) VivoScore home sleep screenings and tests (powered by SleepImage® technology), (ii) AireO2 (an electronic health record program designed specifically for use by dentists treating sleep patients), (iii) Treatment Navigator (a concierge service to assist a provider in educating and supporting the doctors as they navigate insurance coverage, diagnostic indications and treatment options), (iv) Billing Intelligence Services (“BIS”) (which optimizes medical and dental reimbursement), (v) advanced training and continuing education courses at the Company’s Vivos Institute in Denver, Colorado, (vi) MyoCorrect, a service through which Vivos-trained providers can provide orofacial myofunctional therapy (“OMT”) to patients via a telemedicine platform, and (vii) the Company’s Medical Integration Division (“MID”), which manages independent medical practices under management and development agreements which pays the Company from six (6%) to eight (8%) percent of all net revenue from sleep-related services as well as development fees.

 

Another aspect of the Company’s business model is to teach, train, and support dentists, medical doctors, and distributors in the use of the Company’s products and services. Dentists who use the Company’s products and services typically enroll in a variety of live or online training and educational programs offered through the Company’s Vivos Institute—an 18,000 sq. ft. facility located near the Denver International Airport. Dentists are able to select the specific program or clinical pathway that they want to focus on, such as Guided Growth and Development or Lifeline or both. Dentists may also enroll in the VIP program for the complete set training, educational, and support services available in all three clinical pathway programs. Dentists enrolled in the VIP Program are referred to as “VIPs.” The Company charges upfront enrollment fees to educate and train new providers. The Company also charges for the ancillary support services listed above and views each product and service as a revenue/profit center.

 

The Company recently entered into a strategic marketing and distribution alliance with an operator of multiple sleep testing and treatment centers in Colorado, under which each party’s products and services will be offered together as a comprehensive solution to OSA patients seeking obstructive sleep apnea treatment. Under this model, the Company will invoice patients (rather than dentists), for treatment by Vivos employed dentists. The Company anticipates this will be the first of a series of similar alliances across the country, marking an important pivot in the Company’s marketing and distribution model for treating patients and distributing its cutting edge OSA appliances.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024.

 

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and as a result, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-EGC but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company currently expects to retain its status as an EGC until the year ending December 31, 2026, but this status could end sooner under certain circumstances.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue from the sale of products and services. A significant majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from enrolling dentists as either (i) Guided Growth and Development VIPs; (ii) Lifeline VIPs; (iii) combined Guided Growth and Development and Lifeline VIPs; or Premier Vivos Integrated Providers (“Premier VIPs”). Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the majority of VIP enrollments were Premier VIPs. The other, lower priced enrollments were piloted in prior fiscal quarters on a limited basis. They were officially adopted during the second quarter of 2023. For each VIP program, revenue is recognized when control of the products or services is transferred to customers (i.e., VIP dentists ordering such products or services for their patients) in a manner that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services.

 

Following the guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and the applicable provisions of ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five-step model, which entails:

 

  1) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract;
  2) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
  3) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
  4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
  5) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

Service Revenue

 

VIP Enrollment Revenue

 

The Company reviews its VIP enrollment contracts from a revenue recognition perspective using the 5-step method outlined above. All program enrollees, irrespective of their level of enrollment, are commonly referred to as VIPs, unless it is necessary to specify their particular program. Once it is determined that a contract exists (i.e., a VIP enrollment agreement is executed and payment is received), service revenue related to VIP enrollments is recognized when the underlying services are performed. The price of the Premier VIP enrollment that the VIP pays upon execution of the contract is significant, running at approximately $26,200, with different entry levels for the various programs described above. Unearned revenue reported on the balance sheet as contract liability represents the portion of fees paid by VIP customers for services that have not yet been performed as of the reporting date and are recorded as the service is rendered. The Company recognizes this revenue as performance obligations are met. Accordingly, the contract liability for unearned revenue is a significant liability for the Company. Provisions for discounts are provided in the same period that the related revenue from the products and/or services is recorded.

 

 

The Company enters into programs that may provide for multiple performance obligations. Commencing in 2018, the Company began enrolling medical and dental professionals in a one-year program (now known as the Premier VIP Program) which includes training in a highly personalized, deep immersion workshop format which provides the Premier VIP dentist access to a team who is dedicated to creating a successful integrated practice.

 

VIP enrollment fees include multiple performance obligations which vary on a contract-by-contract basis. The performance obligations included with enrollments may include sleep apnea rings, a six or twelve month BIS subscription, a marketing package, lab credits and the right to sell our appliances. The Company allocates the transaction price of a VIP enrollment contract to each performance obligation under such contract using the relative standalone selling price method. The relative standalone price method is based on the proportion of the standalone selling price of each performance obligation to the sum of the total standalone selling prices of all the performance obligations in the contract.

 

The right to sell is similar to a license of intellectual property because without it the VIP cannot purchase appliances from the Company. The right to sell performance obligation includes the Vivos training and enrollment materials which prepare dentists for treating their patients using The Vivos Method.

 

Because the right to sell is never sold outside of VIP contracts, and VIP contracts are sold for varying prices, the Company believes that it is appropriate to estimate the standalone selling price of this performance obligation using the residual method. As such, the observable prices of other performance obligations under a VIP contract will be deducted from the contract price, with the residual being allocated to the right to sell performance obligation.

 

The Company uses significant judgements in revenue recognition including an estimation of customer life over which it recognizes the right to sell. The Company has determined that Premier VIPs who do not complete sessions 1 and 2 of training rarely complete training at all and fail to participate in the Premier VIP program long term. Since the beginning of the Premier VIP program, just under one-third of new VIP members fall into this category, and the revenue allocated to the right to sell for those VIPs is accelerated at the time in which it becomes remote that a VIP will continue in the program. Revenue is recognized in accordance with each individual performance obligation unless it becomes remote the VIP will continue, at which time the remainder of revenue is accelerated and recognized in the following month. Those VIPs who complete training typically remain active for a much longer period, and revenue from the right to sell for those VIPs is recognized over the estimated period of which those VIPs will remain active. Because of various factors occurring year to year, the Company has estimated customer life for each year a contract is initiated. The estimated customer lives are calculated separately for each year and have been estimated at 15 months for 2020, 14 months for 2021, 18 months for 2022, 23 months for 2023, and 27 months in 2024, as a result of customers staying active for longer periods of time. The right to sell is recognized on a sum of the years’ digits method over the estimated customer life for each year as this approximates the rate of decline in VIPs purchasing behaviors we have observed.

 

Other Service Revenue

 

In addition to VIP enrollment service revenue, in 2020 the Company launched BIS, an additional service on a monthly subscription basis, which includes the Company’s AireO2 medical billing and practice management software. Revenue for these services is recognized monthly during the month the services are rendered.

 

The Company also offers its VIPs the ability to provide MyoCorrect to the VIP’s patients as part of treatment with The Vivos Method. The program includes packages of treatment sessions that are sold to the VIPs and resold to their patients. Revenue for MyoCorrect services is recognized over the 12-month performance period as therapy sessions occur.

 

 

Allocation of Revenue to Performance Obligations

 

The Company identifies all goods and services that are delivered separately under a sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on relative fair values. These fair values approximate the prices for the relevant performance obligation that would be charged if those services were sold separately, and are recognized over the relevant service period of each performance obligation. After allocation to the performance obligations, any remainder is allocated to the right to sell under the residual method and is recognized over the estimated customer life. In general, revenues are separated between durable medical equipment (product revenue) and education and training services (service revenue).

 

Treatment of Discounts and Promotions

 

From time to time, the Company offers various discounts to its customers. These include the following:

 

  1) Discount for cash paid in full
  2) Conference or trade show incentives, such as subscription enrollment into the SleepImage® home sleep test program, or a free trial period for the SleepImage® lease program
  3) Negotiated concessions on annual enrollment fee
  4) Credits/rebates to be used towards future product orders such as lab rebates

 

The amount of the discount is determined up front prior to the sale. Accordingly, measurement is determined before the sale occurs and revenue is recognized based on the terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer over the performance period. In rare circumstances, a discount has been given after the sale during a conference which is offering a discount to full price. In this situation, revenue is measured and the change in transaction price is allocated over the remaining performance obligation.

 

The amount of consideration can vary by customer due to promotions and discounts authorized to incentivize a sale. Prior to the sale, the customer and the Company agree upon the amount of consideration that the customer will pay in exchange for the services the Company provides. The net consideration that the customer has agreed to pay is the expected value that is recognized as revenue over the service period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the transaction price to represent the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and any changes in circumstances during the reporting period.

 

Product Revenue

 

In addition to revenue from services, the Company also generates revenue from the sale of its line of oral devices and preformed guides (known as appliances or systems) to its customers, the VIP dentists or OSA patients. These include the DNA appliance®, mRNA appliance®, the mmRNA appliance, the Versa, the Vida, the Vida Sleep and others. The Company expanded its product offerings in the first quarter of 2023 via the acquisition of certain U.S. and international patents, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“AFD”). Revenue from appliance sales is recognized when the control of a product is transferred to the VIP in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The VIP in turn charges the VIP’s patient and or patient’s insurance a fee for the appliance and for his or her professional services in measuring, fitting, and installing the appliance and educating the patient as to its use. The Company contracts with VIPs for the sale of the appliance and is not involved in the sale of the products and services from the VIP to the VIP’s patient.

 

The Company’s appliances are similar to a retainer that is worn in the mouth after braces are removed. Each appliance is unique and is fitted to the patient. The Company utilizes its network of certified VIPs throughout the United States and in some non-U.S. jurisdictions (notably Canada and Australia) to sell the appliances to their customers as well as in two dental centers that the Company operates. The Company utilizes third party contract manufacturers or labs to produce its patient-customized, patented appliances and its preformed guides. The manufacturer designated by the Company produces the appliance in strict adherence to the Company’s patents, design files, treatments, processes and procedures and under the direction and specific instruction of the Company, ships the appliance to the VIP who ordered the appliance from the Company. All of the Company’s contract manufacturers are required to follow the Company’s master design files in production of appliances or the lab will be in violation of the FDA’s rules and regulations. The Company performed an analysis under ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40 and concluded it is the principal in the transaction and is reporting revenue gross. The Company bills the VIP the contracted price for the appliance which is recorded as product revenue. Product revenue is recognized once the appliance ships to the VIP under the direction of the Company.

 

 

In support of the VIPs using the Company’s appliances for their patients, the Company utilizes a team of trained technicians to measure, order and fit each appliance. Revenue is recognized differently for Company owned centers and distribution alliances with third party sleep centers than it does for revenue from VIPs. Upon scheduling the patient (which is the Company’s customer in this case), the center takes a deposit and reviews the patient’s insurance coverage. The Company recognizes revenue in the centers after the appliance is received from the manufacturer and once the appliance is fitted and provided to the patient.

 

The Company offers certain dentists (known as Clinical Advisors) discounts to standard VIP pricing. This is done to help encourage Clinical Advisors, who help the VIPs with technical aspects of the Company’s products, to purchase Company products for their own practices. In addition, from time to time, the Company offers credits to incentivize VIPs to adopt the Company’s products and increase case volume within their practices. These incentives are recorded as a liability at issuance and are deducted from the related product sale at the time the credit is used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on existing facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, assessing collectability on accounts receivable, the determination of customer life and breakage related to recognizing revenue for VIP contracts, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; valuation assumptions for assets acquired in asset acquisitions; valuation assumptions for stock options, warrants, warrant liabilities and equity instruments issued for goods or services; deferred income taxes and the related valuation allowances; and the evaluation and measurement of contingencies. However, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operations will be affected.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less that are freely available for the Company’s immediate and general business use are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are stated at the net amount expected to be collected, using an expected credit loss methodology to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of factors, including the aging of the receivables, historical collection trends, and charge-offs. When the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, the Company may individually evaluate the related receivable to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be charged-off, including bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 3 to 5 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recognized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the term of the respective leases which range between 5 and 7 years. The Company does not begin depreciating assets until assets are placed in service.

 

 

Intangible Assets, Net

 

Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. We test for impairment annually as of December 31. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

 

Intangible assets consist of assets acquired from First Vivos and costs paid to (i) MyoCorrect, from whom the Company acquired certain assets related to its OMT service in March 2021, (ii) Lyon Management and Consulting, LLC and its affiliates (“Lyon Dental”), from whom the Company acquired certain medical billing and practice management software, licenses and contracts in April 2021 (including the software underlying AireO2) for work related to the Company’s acquired patents, intellectual property and customer contracts and (iii) AFD, from whom the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property in March 2023. The identifiable intangible assets acquired from First Vivos and Lyon Dental for customer contracts are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets, which approximates 5 years (See Note 5). The costs paid to MyoCorrect, Lyon Dental and AFD for patents and intellectual property are amortized over the life of the underlying patents, which approximates 15 years.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

We review and evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. We measure the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The fair value is measured based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The evaluation of asset impairment requires us to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

 

Equity Offering Costs

 

Commissions, legal fees and other costs that are directly associated with equity offerings are capitalized as deferred offering costs, pending a determination of the success of the offering. Deferred offering costs related to successful offerings are charged to additional paid-in capital in the period it is determined that the offering was successful. Deferred offering costs related to unsuccessful equity offerings are recorded as an expense in the period when it is determined that an offering is unsuccessful.

 

 

Employee Retention Tax Credit

 

The employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”) for 2020 was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (the “Relief Act”). The ERTC provided for changes in the employee retention credit for 2020 and provided an additional credit for the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2021. Employers are eligible for the credit if they experienced either a full or partial suspension of operations during any calendar quarter because of governmental orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic or if they experienced a significant decline in gross receipts based on a comparison of quarterly revenue results for 2020 and/or 2021 and the corresponding quarters in 2019. The ERTC is a refundable credit that employers can claim on qualified wages paid to employees, including certain health insurance costs.

 

According to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Notice 2021-20, “Guidance on the Employee Retention Credit under Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,” the period during which there is a significant decline in gross receipts is determined by identifying the first quarter in 2020 in which the gross receipts are less than 50% of its gross receipts for the same period in 2019. The employee retention credit is available only to eligible employers. Section 2301(c)(2)(A) of the CARES Act defines the term “eligible employer” as any employer carrying on a trade or business during calendar year 2020, and, with respect to any calendar quarter, for which (1) the operation of the trade or business carried on during calendar year 2020 is fully or partially suspended due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19, or (2) such calendar quarter is within the period in which the employer had a significant decline in gross receipts, as described in section 2301(c)(2)(B) of the CARES Act. VIP dentists and potential VIPs were forced to close their offices during 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Therefore, the Company qualifies as an eligible employer under this under the CARES Act.

 

Section 2301(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the CARES Act also provides that if an eligible employer averaged 100 or fewer employees in 2019 (a “small eligible employer”), qualified wages are those wages paid by the eligible employer with respect to an employee during any period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the CARES Act (relating to a calendar quarter for which the operation of a trade or business is fully or partially suspended due to a governmental order) or during a calendar quarter within the period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(II) of the CARES Act (relating to a significant decline in gross receipts). The Company averaged fewer than 80 employees in 2019 and is therefore considered a small eligible employer under the CARES Act.

 

Healthcare plan expenses were not included in the analysis, although they are eligible if an employee has paid health insurance through their paycheck. Section 2301(c)(5)(B) of the CARES Act provides that “wages” include amounts paid by an eligible employer to provide and maintain a group health plan (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), but only to the extent that the amounts are excluded from the gross income of employees by reason of section 106(a) of the Code. The Company pays the first $500 of healthcare insurance for each employee, which generally covers the monthly cost of their insurance. Because of this, the Company conservatively did not include any of the cost of insurance in its analysis. Additionally, PPP loan amounts were deducted from the amount of total wages paid before calculating the qualified ERTC wages. The Company applied for the ERTC using Vivos Therapeutics Inc.’s payroll, which covers 95% of its employees.

 

As indicated above, for 2020, companies were eligible for a credit equal to 50 percent of the first ten thousand dollars of qualified wages paid per employee in the aggregate of each eligible quarter. Therefore, the maximum ERTC for the Company for 2020 is five thousand dollars ($5,000) per employee. For the second and fourth quarters of 2020, the total eligible credit was limited to approximately $0.5 million.

 

 

For 2021, the ERTC was 70% of the first ten thousand qualified wages paid per employee each quarter. Accordingly, the credit was limited to approximately $0.7 million. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, the Company accounted for the ERTC by analogy to ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, under ASC 450, entities would treat the ERTCs (whether received in cash or as an offset to current or future payroll taxes) as if they were gain contingencies. When applying ASC 450-30, entities would not consider the probability of complying with the terms of the ERC program but, rather, would defer any recognition in the income statement until all uncertainties are resolved and the income is “realized” or “realizable” (i.e., upon receipt of the funds or formal notice by the IRS that the company is entitled to such funds). In our case, the Company elected to follow a more conservative approach and instead of recognizing a receivable for amounts to be received when the amended tax forms were filed in 2022, it was decided to wait for the notice from IRS and cash was received. As for financial statement presentation, it is believed that either classifying the amounts as a reduction to payroll tax expense (expense off-set is however contrary to U.S. GAAP) or as other income to be acceptable with appropriate disclosure of the election made by the company. However, the IRS issued a renewed warning regarding the ERTC on March 7, 2023 urging taxpayers to carefully review the ERTC guidelines. The Company continues to evaluate additional information from the IRS, and elected to disclose the funds received as a separate line item under long-term liabilities on the balance sheet, until more information becomes available from the IRS. As a result, as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, approximately $1.2 million is reflected under long-term liabilities.

 

Loss and Gain Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. Alternatively, when no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the lowest amount in the range. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the range of the loss is estimable, then the Company discloses the range of the possible loss. If the Company cannot estimate the range of loss, it will disclose the reason why it cannot estimate the range of loss. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to it to determine whether an accrual is required, an accrual should be adjusted and if a range of possible loss should be disclosed. Legal fees related to contingencies are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred. Contingencies that may result in gains are not recognized until realization is assured, which typically requires collection in cash.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company computes the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected term using the simplified method which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the respective options. The Company determines the expected price volatility based on the historical volatilities of shares of the Company’s peer group as the Company does not have a sufficient trading history for its Common Stock. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the bio-tech industry similar to the Company in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. The Company recognizes the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award, usually the vesting period. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award were, in substance, a single award. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures and cancellations in the period that the forfeiture or cancellation occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for stock-based compensation.

 

 

Leases

 

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, accrued expenses, and operating lease liability - current and non-current portion in our balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires management judgment based on information available at lease commencement. The operating lease ROU assets also include adjustments for prepayments, accrued lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842 that include lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease agreements with a noncancelable term of less than 12 months are not recorded on our balance sheets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results, or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The recorded valuation allowance is based on significant estimates and judgments and if the facts and circumstances change, the valuation allowance could materially change. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including stock options, convertible debt, Preferred Stock, and warrants, to the extent the same are dilutive.

 

Warrant Accounting

 

The Company accounts for its warrants and financial instruments as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Warrants classified as liabilities and other financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and will be revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. Management estimates the fair value of these liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate.

 

 

Segment Information

 

We manage our business within one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Presented below is a discussion of new accounting standards including deadlines for adoption assuming that the Company retains its designation as an EGC.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The standard requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2025 for annual periods and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

We have reviewed and considered all other recent accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted and believe there are none that could potentially have a material impact on our business practices, financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

LIQUIDITY AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, including $5.7 and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $98.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $5.6 and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had total liabilities of approximately $9.5 million.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $6.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which will not be sufficient to fund operations and strategic objectives over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. Without additional financing, these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Until a state of cash flow positivity is reached, management is reviewing all options to obtain additional financing to fund operations. This financing is expected to come primarily from the issuance of equity securities in order to sustain operations until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. There can be no assurances, however, that adequate additional funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If such funds are not available in the future, the Company may be required to delay, significantly modify or terminate some or all of its operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its stockholders.

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Common Stock Transactions During the Periods Presented

 

On January 9, 2023, the Company closed a private placement (the “January 2023 Private Placement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 80,000 shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 186,667 shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million. Issuance costs associated with the January 2023 Private Placement were approximately $0.6 million.

 

On February 28, 2023, the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, patent applications, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from AFD. Pursuant to the asset acquisition, the Company agreed to issue 10,000 shares of Common Stock in addition to cash consideration of $50,000. As a result of this transaction the Company recorded intangible assets of approximately $0.2 million. As part of the associated Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to a future earnout payment consideration based on a sliding-scale percentage on the volume of future sales, as well as a cash payment of $0.2 million upon the achievement of specified milestones. Per the Company’s accounting policy, the contingent consideration obligation will be recorded as the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable.

 

In addition, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Scott Simonetti, DDS, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of AFD, as part-time Senior Director of Research and Development for an annual salary of approximately $0.1 million and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 16,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $15.25 per share; provided, however, that the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrant are subject to vesting only upon the achievement of specified milestones related to new FDA authorizations for the intangible assets acquired.

 

As disclosed above, on October 25, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company effected a Reverse Stock Split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25. As of the Effective Date, every twenty-five shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock was combined into one share of Common Stock. As a result, the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Effective Date was proportionally reduced from approximately 29,928,786 shares to approximately 1,197,258 shares. The ownership percentage of each of the Company’s stockholders remained unchanged, other than as a result of fractional shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders that would hold a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split had such fractional shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans and the Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding equity awards and common stock purchase warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were proportionately adjusted by the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. The exercise prices of such outstanding options and warrants were also adjusted in accordance with their respective terms. The number of authorized shares of common stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

 

On November 2, 2023, the Company closed a private placement (the “November 2023 Private Placement”) with an institutional investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of $4.0 million of securities in a private placement consisting of (i) 130,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 850,393 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, (iii) a five-year Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 980,393 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.83 per share and (iii) an 18-month Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) to purchase up to 980,393 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.83 per share. Issuance costs associated with the November 2023 Private Placement were approximately $0.5 million.

 

In December 2023, 437,393 of the 850,393 pre-funded warrants granted on November 2, 2023 were exercised. In January 2024, the remaining 413,000 pre-funded warrants were exercised.

 

On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant inducement letter agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with the same institutional investor in the November 2023 Private Placement pursuant to which the investor agreed to exercise for cash the entirety of the Series B Warrant at an exercise price of $4.02 per share (with such exercise price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market), resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.0 million. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, in consideration for the immediate exercise of the Series B Warrant in full, the Company agreed to issue to the investor, in a new private placement transaction (the “Inducement Transaction”): (i) a 5-year, Series B-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share, and (ii) an 18-month, Series B-2 common stock purchase warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share (collectively, the “Inducement Warrants” and such aggregate 1,470,592 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants, the “Inducement Warrant Shares”). The Inducement Warrants are identical to each other, other than their dates of expiration, and are substantially identical to the Series B Warrant. Issuance costs associated with the February inducement were approximately $0.3 million.

 

On June 10, 2024, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with V-CO Investors LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“V-CO”). V-CO is an affiliate of New Seneca Partners Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Seneca”), a leading independent private equity firm. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company sold to V-CO in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”): (i) 169,498 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 3,050,768 shares of Comon Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”, with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant being referred to as the “PFW Shares”), and (iii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 3,220,266 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Warrants”, and with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrant being referred to as the “Warrant Shares”).

 

V-CO paid a purchase price of $2.329 for each Share and Pre-Funded Warrant Share and associated Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with such price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Private Placement closed on June 10, 2024. The Company received gross proceeds of $7,500,000 from the Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general working capital and general corporate purposes. No placement agent was used in connection with the Private Placement. The Common Stock Purchase Warrant has a five year term, an exercise price of $2.204 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrant has a term ending on the complete exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant, an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Warrants also contain customary stock-based (but not price-based) anti-dilution protection as well as beneficial ownership limitations that may be waived at the option of each holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.

 

The SPA provides that for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the offering, Seneca shall be entitled to (i) receive notice of any regular or special meeting of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the time such notice is provided to the members of the Board, (ii) receive copies of any materials delivered to the Company’s directors in connection with such meetings and (iii) allow one Seneca representative (who shall be an officer or employee of Seneca) to attend and participate (but not vote) in all such meetings of the Board. The SPA also includes standard representations, warranties, indemnifications, and covenants of the Company and V-CO.

 

The terms of the SPA require the Company to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the Shares, the PFW Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registerable Securities”) for resale. Such Resale Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on July 30, 2024, and was declared effective by the SEC on August 7, 2024. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company must also use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement or a new registration statement if the Resale Registration Statement expires) for a period of three (3) years after the date of effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or for such shorter period as such securities no longer constitute Registrable Securities, subject to certain limitations specified in the SPA.

NOTE 9 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

Stock Options

 

In 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2017 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2017 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. The Company’s shareholders have approved a total reserve of 53,333 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

 

In April 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2019 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2019 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. The Company’s shareholders originally approved a total reserve of 13,334 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2019 Plan. At each of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2020 and 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by an aggregate of 81,334 shares of Common Stock such that, after such amendments, and prior to any grants, 94,667 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance.

 

On September 22, 2023, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Company common stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the 2019 Plan by 80,000 shares from an aggregate of 94,667 shares to an aggregate of 174,667 shares.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 the Company granted stock options for the purchase of 105,000 and 12,700 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average of $2.38 and $10.25 respectively. Options for the purchase of 4,036 and 20,000 shares of common stock expired as of June 30, 2024, and 2023. The following table summarizes all stock options from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024 (shares in thousands):

 

   Shares   Price (1)   Term (2)

(1) Represents the weighted average exercise price.
   
(2) Represents the weighted average remaining contractual term until the stock options expire.
   
(3) As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding was $0.
   
(4) As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable stock options was $0.

 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the valuation assumptions for stock options granted under the 2017 Plan and the 2019 Plan were estimated on the date of grant using the BSM option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

   2024 
     
Grant date closing price of Common Stock  $2.38 
Expected term (years)   3.5 
Risk-free interest rate   4.3%
Volatility   140%
Dividend yield   0%

 

Based on the assumptions set forth above, the weighted-average grant date fair value per share for stock options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.38.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and for the six months ended July 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense relating to the vesting of stock options. Unrecognized expense relating to these awards as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $1.2 million, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining term of 3.7 years.

(7) As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of warrants outstanding was $0 million.
   
(8) As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of warrants exercisable was $0 million.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the valuation assumptions for warrants issued were estimated on the measurement date using the BSM option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

   2024 
     
Measurement date closing price of Common Stock (1)  $1.88 
Contractual term (years) (2)   5.0

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

 

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily due to permanent differences, state taxes and change in valuation allowance. A full valuation allowance was in effect, which resulted in the Company’s zero tax expense.

 

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred since inception. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 to record the deferred tax asset that is not likely to be realized.

 

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgement including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Our business was materially impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 and to some extent thereafter and through the early part of 2023 due to the actions of governmental bodies that mandated quarantines and lockdowns that resulted in many of our VIPs and potential VIPs having to close their offices. The impact of COVID-19 on our business diminished somewhat as 2023 progressed. However, the residual effects of the pandemic on dental workforce availability as well as patient precautionary measures continued to negatively impact our VIP dental practices and our revenue across the U.S. and Canada during 2022 and into 2023. We believe new enrollments during at least the first half of 2023 continued to be negatively impacted by the ongoing overall workforce uncertainties in the dental market. Thus far in 2024, we do not believe COVID-19 issues are impacting our business in any material way. We continue to monitor the overall landscape of potential viral or other diseases which may pose a threat, and we will respond appropriately should any such threats materialize.

 

Inflation, the War in Ukraine and Middle East Hostilities

 

The Company believes that as the U.S. experiences a persistent and protracted period of inflation, which has increased (and may continue to increase), the Company and its suppliers’ costs as well as the end cost of the Company’s products to consumers may also increase. In the early part of 2024, there is considerable economic and capital markets uncertainty arising out of several global factors, including but not limited to, Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, the Hamas attacks on Israel in October of 2023, Israel’s response to those attacks, and social unrest and protests on university campuses have emerged as new barriers to both near and long-term economic recovery.

 

 

If an economic recession or depression commences and is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business as demand for our products could decrease. To date, the Company has been able to manage inflation risk without a material adverse impact on its business or results of operations. However, inflationary pressures (including increases in the price of raw material components of the Company’s appliances) made it necessary for the Company to adjust its standard pricing for its appliance products effective May 1, 2022, and we may have to do so again in 2024. The full impact of such price adjustments on sales or demand for the Company’s products is not fully known at this time and may require the Company to adjust other aspects of its business as it seeks to grow revenue and, ultimately, achieve profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

 

An additional inflation-related risk is the Federal Reserve’s response, which up to this point has been mainly to raise interest rates. Such actions have, in times past, created unintended consequences in terms of the impact on housing starts, overall manufacturing, capital markets, and banking. If such disruptions become systemic, like in the recession of 2008, then the impact on the Company’s revenue, earnings potential and access to capital of both inflation and inflation-fighting responses would be impossible to know or calculate.

 

These conditions could cause an economic recession or depression to commence, and if such recession or depression is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business as demand for its products could decrease. Such conditions have also had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on the capital markets, with public stock price decreases and volatility, which could make it more difficult for the Company to raise needed capital at the appropriate time.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for certain offices, medical facilities and training facilities. These leases have original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2029. Most leases include an option to renew, and the exercise of a lease renewal option typically occurs at the discretion of both parties. For the purpose of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms are deemed not to include options to extend the lease until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

 

In January 2017, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 2,220 square feet of office in Johnstown, Colorado that was to commence on March 1, 2018 and end February 28, 2025. As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of $0.3 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 6.0%.

 

In May 2018, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 3,643 square feet of office in Highlands Ranch, Colorado that was to commence on November 1, 2018 and end on January 1, 2029.

As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of less than $0.1 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 6.7%.

 

 

In April 2019, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 14,732 square feet of office space for its former corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado that was to commence on September 23, 2020 and end on March 22, 2028. As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of less than $1.4 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 7.1%.

 

In April 2022, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 8,253 square feet of office space for its corporate headquarters in Littleton, Colorado that commenced May 16, 2022 and ends on November 15, 2027. As of May 16, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of less than $1.5 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 10.6%.

NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

NOTE 13 - NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock (“EPS”) is computed by dividing (i) net loss (the “Numerator”), by (ii) the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period (the “Denominator”).

 

The calculation of diluted EPS is also required to include the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, convertible debt and Preferred Stock, and other Common Stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method, in order to compute the weighted average number of shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, all Common Stock equivalents were antidilutive.

 

Presented below are the calculations of the Numerators and the Denominators for basic and diluted EPS (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the measurement of fair value:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date

 

Level 2 - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly through market collaboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date

 

 

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

As discussed in Note 8, on January 9, 2023, the Company closed on the November 2023 Private Placement for the sale by the Company of shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of pre-funded warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 186,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and the issuance of warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $30 per share. The warrants are initially exercisable commencing January 9, 2023 through their expiration date of July 9, 2028. In addition, as part of the November 2023 Private Placement, we agreed to amend the existing outstanding common stock purchase warrant held by the purchaser and issued in January 2023 to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $30.00 per share with an expiration date of July 5, 2028. Such amendment, which became effective upon the closing of the November 2023 Private Placement, reduced the exercise price of the January warrant to $3.83 per share and extended the expiration date of such warrant to November 2, 2028. The amendment also restated in its entirety the definition of “Black Scholes Value” contained in the January warrant which resulted in the classification of the warrant from liability to equity. The liability associated with those warrants was initially recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon issuance, and subsequently re-measured as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and November 2, 2023 when the November 2023 Private Placement closed. The changes in the fair value between issuance, the March 31, 2023 measurement date, the June 30, 2023 measurement date, the September 30, 2023, and the November 2, 2023 measurement date are recorded as a component of other income (expense), in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. The Company concluded that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement, met the definition of a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and classified the liability as Level 3. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 or Level 2, and had a warranty liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) of approximately $2.2 million.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 the Company had no transfers of its assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

 

 

Significant Concentrations

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions, the balances of which frequently exceed federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of these financial institutions and believes the Company’s risk is negligible. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. If any of the financial institutions with whom the Company does business was to be placed into receivership, the Company may be unable to access the cash they have on deposit with such institutions. If the Company were unable to access cash and cash equivalents as needed, the financial position and ability to operate the business could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions in the United States with an aggregate balance of $6.9 million.

 

Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographies and industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on certain customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. No single customer represented more than 10% of our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024. The Company maintains reserves for potential bad debts.

 

Supplier Concentration

 

As previously disclosed, the Company relies on third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for the raw materials and components used in our appliances and to manufacture and assemble our products. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had five suppliers that accounted for approximately 80% of the Company’s total purchases during the year. The Company expects to maintain existing relationships with these vendors.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

As previously reported, on May 16, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million (the “Equity Requirement”). On June 25, 2024, the Company reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K that it believed it had stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million as of the date of the filing of such report as a result of the Company’s closing of a $7.5 million equity private placement on June 10, 2024.

 

On June 27, 2024, the Company met with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to discuss the Company’s past, current, and anticipated future compliance with the Equity Requirement, and requested the continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq. On July 5, 2024, the Company was notified that the Panel had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, with the SEC by August 15, 2024, evidencing the Company’s compliance with the Equity Requirement. The Company is working diligently to ensure its continued compliance with the Equity Requirement, including exploring a potential additional equity capital financing or financings to stay above the minimum threshold of the Equity Requirement. The Company anticipates that its previously disclosed strategic marketing and distribution alliance will also positively impact the Company’s revenue growth and stockholders’ equity in upcoming fiscal quarters. However, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to raise sufficient capital or generate sufficient revenue or operating results to maintain compliance with the Equity Requirement. If the Company fails to achieve ongoing compliance and its common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, such delisting would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s stock price, the ability of its stockholders to buy or sell their common stock, the ability of the Company to raise capital and on the Company’s reputation, all of which could make it significantly more difficult to operate the Company.

Organization

Organization

 

BioModeling Solutions, Inc. (“BioModeling”) was organized on March 20, 2007 as an Oregon limited liability company, and subsequently incorporated in 2013. On August 16, 2016, BioModeling entered into a share exchange agreement (the “SEA”) with First Vivos, Inc., a Texas corporation (“First Vivos”), and Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Vivos”), which was established on July 7, 2016 to facilitate SEA transaction. Pursuant to the SEA, all of the outstanding shares of common stock and warrants of BioModeling and all of the shares of common stock of First Vivos were exchanged for newly issued shares of common stock and warrants of Vivos, the legal acquirer.

 

The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with BioModeling as the acquirer for financial reporting and accounting purposes. Upon the consummation of the merger, the historical financial statements of BioModeling became the Company’s historical financial statements and recorded at their historical carrying amounts.

 

On August 12, 2020, Vivos reincorporated from Wyoming to become a domestic Delaware corporation under Delaware General Corporate Law. Accordingly, as used herein, the term “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terminology refer to Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” refers to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On October 25, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors under authority granted by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 22, 2023, was consummated pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on October 25, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in the accompanying financial statements, these footnotes to the financial statements in general to shares of the Company’s common stock, including prices per share of the common stock, reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Fractional shares were not issued, and the final number of shares were rounded up to the next whole share.

 

Description of Business

Description of Business

 

We are a medical technology and services company that features a comprehensive suite of proprietary oral appliances and therapeutic treatments. Our products non-surgically treat certain maxillofacial and developmental abnormalities of the mouth and jaws that are closely associated with breathing and sleep disorders such as mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults. The Company offers three separate clinical pathways or programs to providers—Guided Growth and Development, Lifeline, and Complete Airway Repositioning and Expansion (“CARE”). Each program features certain oral appliances coupled with specific therapeutic treatments, and each clinical pathway is intended to address the specific needs of a diverse patient population with different patient needs. For example, the Guided Growth and Development program features the Vivos Guide and PEx appliances along with adjunctive, non-Company therapies used by a dentist (such as CO2 laser treatments and other therapies) designed for treating palatal growth (growth of the mouth roof) and expansion in pediatric patients as they grow. The mid-range priced Lifeline program features a selection of mandibular advancement devices (“MADs”) such as the Versa and Vida Sleep which are FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-moderate OSA in adults, along with the patented Vida appliance, which is FDA 510(k) cleared as unspecified classification for the alleviation of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (“TMD”) symptoms, bruxism, migraine headaches, and nasal dilation.

 

 

The Company’s flagship CARE program, which is part of The Vivos Method, features the Company’s patented DNA, mRNA and mmRNA appliances, which are also FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-severe OSA and snoring in adults. The Vivos Method may also include adjunctive myofunctional, chiropractic/physical therapy, and laser treatments that, when properly used with the CARE appliances, constitute a powerful non-invasive and cost-effective means of reducing or eliminating OSA symptoms. In a small subset of a study, the data has actually shown that The Vivos Method can reverse OSA symptoms in a large portion (up to 80%) of patients. The primary competitive advantage of The Vivos Method over other OSA therapies is that The Vivos Method’s typical course of treatment is limited in most cases to 12 to 15 months, and it is possible not to need lifetime intervention, unlike CPAP and neuro-stimulation implants. Additionally, out of over 45,000 patients treated to date worldwide with the Company’s entire current suite of products, there have been very few instances of relapse.

 

The Company also offers a suite of diagnostic and support products and services to dental and medical providers and distributors who treat patients with OSA or related conditions. Such products and services include (i) VivoScore home sleep screenings and tests (powered by SleepImage® technology), (ii) AireO2 (an electronic health record program designed specifically for use by dentists treating sleep patients), (iii) Treatment Navigator (a concierge service to assist a provider in educating and supporting the doctors as they navigate insurance coverage, diagnostic indications and treatment options), (iv) Billing Intelligence Services (“BIS”) (which optimizes medical and dental reimbursement), (v) advanced training and continuing education courses at the Company’s Vivos Institute in Denver, Colorado, (vi) MyoCorrect, a service through which Vivos-trained providers can provide orofacial myofunctional therapy (“OMT”) to patients via a telemedicine platform, and (vii) the Company’s Medical Integration Division (“MID”), which manages independent medical practices under management and development agreements which pays the Company from six (6%) to eight (8%) percent of all net revenue from sleep-related services as well as development fees.

 

Another aspect of the Company’s business model is to teach, train, and support dentists, medical doctors, and distributors in the use of the Company’s products and services. Dentists who use the Company’s products and services typically enroll in a variety of live or online training and educational programs offered through the Company’s Vivos Institute—an 18,000 sq. ft. facility located near the Denver International Airport. Dentists are able to select the specific program or clinical pathway that they want to focus on, such as Guided Growth and Development or Lifeline or both. Dentists may also enroll in the VIP program for the complete set training, educational, and support services available in all three clinical pathway programs. Dentists enrolled in the VIP Program are referred to as “VIPs.” The Company charges upfront enrollment fees to educate and train new providers. The Company also charges for the ancillary support services listed above and views each product and service as a revenue/profit center.

 

The Company recently entered into a strategic marketing and distribution alliance with an operator of multiple sleep testing and treatment centers in Colorado, under which each party’s products and services will be offered together as a comprehensive solution to OSA patients seeking obstructive sleep apnea treatment. Under this model, the Company will invoice patients (rather than dentists), for treatment by Vivos employed dentists. The Company anticipates this will be the first of a series of similar alliances across the country, marking an important pivot in the Company’s marketing and distribution model for treating patients and distributing its cutting edge OSA appliances.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024.

 

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and as a result, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-EGC but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company currently expects to retain its status as an EGC until the year ending December 31, 2026, but this status could end sooner under certain circumstances.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue from the sale of products and services. A significant majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from enrolling dentists as either (i) Guided Growth and Development VIPs; (ii) Lifeline VIPs; (iii) combined Guided Growth and Development and Lifeline VIPs; or Premier Vivos Integrated Providers (“Premier VIPs”). Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the majority of VIP enrollments were Premier VIPs. The other, lower priced enrollments were piloted in prior fiscal quarters on a limited basis. They were officially adopted during the second quarter of 2023. For each VIP program, revenue is recognized when control of the products or services is transferred to customers (i.e., VIP dentists ordering such products or services for their patients) in a manner that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services.

 

Following the guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and the applicable provisions of ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five-step model, which entails:

 

  1) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract;
  2) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
  3) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
  4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
  5) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

Service Revenue

 

VIP Enrollment Revenue

 

The Company reviews its VIP enrollment contracts from a revenue recognition perspective using the 5-step method outlined above. All program enrollees, irrespective of their level of enrollment, are commonly referred to as VIPs, unless it is necessary to specify their particular program. Once it is determined that a contract exists (i.e., a VIP enrollment agreement is executed and payment is received), service revenue related to VIP enrollments is recognized when the underlying services are performed. The price of the Premier VIP enrollment that the VIP pays upon execution of the contract is significant, running at approximately $26,200, with different entry levels for the various programs described above. Unearned revenue reported on the balance sheet as contract liability represents the portion of fees paid by VIP customers for services that have not yet been performed as of the reporting date and are recorded as the service is rendered. The Company recognizes this revenue as performance obligations are met. Accordingly, the contract liability for unearned revenue is a significant liability for the Company. Provisions for discounts are provided in the same period that the related revenue from the products and/or services is recorded.

 

 

The Company enters into programs that may provide for multiple performance obligations. Commencing in 2018, the Company began enrolling medical and dental professionals in a one-year program (now known as the Premier VIP Program) which includes training in a highly personalized, deep immersion workshop format which provides the Premier VIP dentist access to a team who is dedicated to creating a successful integrated practice.

 

VIP enrollment fees include multiple performance obligations which vary on a contract-by-contract basis. The performance obligations included with enrollments may include sleep apnea rings, a six or twelve month BIS subscription, a marketing package, lab credits and the right to sell our appliances. The Company allocates the transaction price of a VIP enrollment contract to each performance obligation under such contract using the relative standalone selling price method. The relative standalone price method is based on the proportion of the standalone selling price of each performance obligation to the sum of the total standalone selling prices of all the performance obligations in the contract.

 

The right to sell is similar to a license of intellectual property because without it the VIP cannot purchase appliances from the Company. The right to sell performance obligation includes the Vivos training and enrollment materials which prepare dentists for treating their patients using The Vivos Method.

 

Because the right to sell is never sold outside of VIP contracts, and VIP contracts are sold for varying prices, the Company believes that it is appropriate to estimate the standalone selling price of this performance obligation using the residual method. As such, the observable prices of other performance obligations under a VIP contract will be deducted from the contract price, with the residual being allocated to the right to sell performance obligation.

 

The Company uses significant judgements in revenue recognition including an estimation of customer life over which it recognizes the right to sell. The Company has determined that Premier VIPs who do not complete sessions 1 and 2 of training rarely complete training at all and fail to participate in the Premier VIP program long term. Since the beginning of the Premier VIP program, just under one-third of new VIP members fall into this category, and the revenue allocated to the right to sell for those VIPs is accelerated at the time in which it becomes remote that a VIP will continue in the program. Revenue is recognized in accordance with each individual performance obligation unless it becomes remote the VIP will continue, at which time the remainder of revenue is accelerated and recognized in the following month. Those VIPs who complete training typically remain active for a much longer period, and revenue from the right to sell for those VIPs is recognized over the estimated period of which those VIPs will remain active. Because of various factors occurring year to year, the Company has estimated customer life for each year a contract is initiated. The estimated customer lives are calculated separately for each year and have been estimated at 15 months for 2020, 14 months for 2021, 18 months for 2022, 23 months for 2023, and 27 months in 2024, as a result of customers staying active for longer periods of time. The right to sell is recognized on a sum of the years’ digits method over the estimated customer life for each year as this approximates the rate of decline in VIPs purchasing behaviors we have observed.

 

Other Service Revenue

 

In addition to VIP enrollment service revenue, in 2020 the Company launched BIS, an additional service on a monthly subscription basis, which includes the Company’s AireO2 medical billing and practice management software. Revenue for these services is recognized monthly during the month the services are rendered.

 

The Company also offers its VIPs the ability to provide MyoCorrect to the VIP’s patients as part of treatment with The Vivos Method. The program includes packages of treatment sessions that are sold to the VIPs and resold to their patients. Revenue for MyoCorrect services is recognized over the 12-month performance period as therapy sessions occur.

 

 

Allocation of Revenue to Performance Obligations

 

The Company identifies all goods and services that are delivered separately under a sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on relative fair values. These fair values approximate the prices for the relevant performance obligation that would be charged if those services were sold separately, and are recognized over the relevant service period of each performance obligation. After allocation to the performance obligations, any remainder is allocated to the right to sell under the residual method and is recognized over the estimated customer life. In general, revenues are separated between durable medical equipment (product revenue) and education and training services (service revenue).

 

Treatment of Discounts and Promotions

 

From time to time, the Company offers various discounts to its customers. These include the following:

 

  1) Discount for cash paid in full
  2) Conference or trade show incentives, such as subscription enrollment into the SleepImage® home sleep test program, or a free trial period for the SleepImage® lease program
  3) Negotiated concessions on annual enrollment fee
  4) Credits/rebates to be used towards future product orders such as lab rebates

 

The amount of the discount is determined up front prior to the sale. Accordingly, measurement is determined before the sale occurs and revenue is recognized based on the terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer over the performance period. In rare circumstances, a discount has been given after the sale during a conference which is offering a discount to full price. In this situation, revenue is measured and the change in transaction price is allocated over the remaining performance obligation.

 

The amount of consideration can vary by customer due to promotions and discounts authorized to incentivize a sale. Prior to the sale, the customer and the Company agree upon the amount of consideration that the customer will pay in exchange for the services the Company provides. The net consideration that the customer has agreed to pay is the expected value that is recognized as revenue over the service period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the transaction price to represent the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and any changes in circumstances during the reporting period.

 

Product Revenue

 

In addition to revenue from services, the Company also generates revenue from the sale of its line of oral devices and preformed guides (known as appliances or systems) to its customers, the VIP dentists or OSA patients. These include the DNA appliance®, mRNA appliance®, the mmRNA appliance, the Versa, the Vida, the Vida Sleep and others. The Company expanded its product offerings in the first quarter of 2023 via the acquisition of certain U.S. and international patents, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“AFD”). Revenue from appliance sales is recognized when the control of a product is transferred to the VIP in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The VIP in turn charges the VIP’s patient and or patient’s insurance a fee for the appliance and for his or her professional services in measuring, fitting, and installing the appliance and educating the patient as to its use. The Company contracts with VIPs for the sale of the appliance and is not involved in the sale of the products and services from the VIP to the VIP’s patient.

 

The Company’s appliances are similar to a retainer that is worn in the mouth after braces are removed. Each appliance is unique and is fitted to the patient. The Company utilizes its network of certified VIPs throughout the United States and in some non-U.S. jurisdictions (notably Canada and Australia) to sell the appliances to their customers as well as in two dental centers that the Company operates. The Company utilizes third party contract manufacturers or labs to produce its patient-customized, patented appliances and its preformed guides. The manufacturer designated by the Company produces the appliance in strict adherence to the Company’s patents, design files, treatments, processes and procedures and under the direction and specific instruction of the Company, ships the appliance to the VIP who ordered the appliance from the Company. All of the Company’s contract manufacturers are required to follow the Company’s master design files in production of appliances or the lab will be in violation of the FDA’s rules and regulations. The Company performed an analysis under ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40 and concluded it is the principal in the transaction and is reporting revenue gross. The Company bills the VIP the contracted price for the appliance which is recorded as product revenue. Product revenue is recognized once the appliance ships to the VIP under the direction of the Company.

 

 

In support of the VIPs using the Company’s appliances for their patients, the Company utilizes a team of trained technicians to measure, order and fit each appliance. Revenue is recognized differently for Company owned centers and distribution alliances with third party sleep centers than it does for revenue from VIPs. Upon scheduling the patient (which is the Company’s customer in this case), the center takes a deposit and reviews the patient’s insurance coverage. The Company recognizes revenue in the centers after the appliance is received from the manufacturer and once the appliance is fitted and provided to the patient.

 

The Company offers certain dentists (known as Clinical Advisors) discounts to standard VIP pricing. This is done to help encourage Clinical Advisors, who help the VIPs with technical aspects of the Company’s products, to purchase Company products for their own practices. In addition, from time to time, the Company offers credits to incentivize VIPs to adopt the Company’s products and increase case volume within their practices. These incentives are recorded as a liability at issuance and are deducted from the related product sale at the time the credit is used.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on existing facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, assessing collectability on accounts receivable, the determination of customer life and breakage related to recognizing revenue for VIP contracts, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; valuation assumptions for assets acquired in asset acquisitions; valuation assumptions for stock options, warrants, warrant liabilities and equity instruments issued for goods or services; deferred income taxes and the related valuation allowances; and the evaluation and measurement of contingencies. However, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operations will be affected.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less that are freely available for the Company’s immediate and general business use are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are stated at the net amount expected to be collected, using an expected credit loss methodology to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of factors, including the aging of the receivables, historical collection trends, and charge-offs. When the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, the Company may individually evaluate the related receivable to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be charged-off, including bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due.

 

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and Equipment, Net

 

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 3 to 5 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recognized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the term of the respective leases which range between 5 and 7 years. The Company does not begin depreciating assets until assets are placed in service.

 

 

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible Assets, Net

 

Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. We test for impairment annually as of December 31. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

 

Intangible assets consist of assets acquired from First Vivos and costs paid to (i) MyoCorrect, from whom the Company acquired certain assets related to its OMT service in March 2021, (ii) Lyon Management and Consulting, LLC and its affiliates (“Lyon Dental”), from whom the Company acquired certain medical billing and practice management software, licenses and contracts in April 2021 (including the software underlying AireO2) for work related to the Company’s acquired patents, intellectual property and customer contracts and (iii) AFD, from whom the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property in March 2023. The identifiable intangible assets acquired from First Vivos and Lyon Dental for customer contracts are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets, which approximates 5 years (See Note 5). The costs paid to MyoCorrect, Lyon Dental and AFD for patents and intellectual property are amortized over the life of the underlying patents, which approximates 15 years.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

We review and evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. We measure the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The fair value is measured based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The evaluation of asset impairment requires us to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

 

Equity Offering Costs

Equity Offering Costs

 

Commissions, legal fees and other costs that are directly associated with equity offerings are capitalized as deferred offering costs, pending a determination of the success of the offering. Deferred offering costs related to successful offerings are charged to additional paid-in capital in the period it is determined that the offering was successful. Deferred offering costs related to unsuccessful equity offerings are recorded as an expense in the period when it is determined that an offering is unsuccessful.

 

 

Employee Retention Tax Credit

Employee Retention Tax Credit

 

The employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”) for 2020 was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (the “Relief Act”). The ERTC provided for changes in the employee retention credit for 2020 and provided an additional credit for the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2021. Employers are eligible for the credit if they experienced either a full or partial suspension of operations during any calendar quarter because of governmental orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic or if they experienced a significant decline in gross receipts based on a comparison of quarterly revenue results for 2020 and/or 2021 and the corresponding quarters in 2019. The ERTC is a refundable credit that employers can claim on qualified wages paid to employees, including certain health insurance costs.

 

According to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Notice 2021-20, “Guidance on the Employee Retention Credit under Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,” the period during which there is a significant decline in gross receipts is determined by identifying the first quarter in 2020 in which the gross receipts are less than 50% of its gross receipts for the same period in 2019. The employee retention credit is available only to eligible employers. Section 2301(c)(2)(A) of the CARES Act defines the term “eligible employer” as any employer carrying on a trade or business during calendar year 2020, and, with respect to any calendar quarter, for which (1) the operation of the trade or business carried on during calendar year 2020 is fully or partially suspended due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19, or (2) such calendar quarter is within the period in which the employer had a significant decline in gross receipts, as described in section 2301(c)(2)(B) of the CARES Act. VIP dentists and potential VIPs were forced to close their offices during 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Therefore, the Company qualifies as an eligible employer under this under the CARES Act.

 

Section 2301(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the CARES Act also provides that if an eligible employer averaged 100 or fewer employees in 2019 (a “small eligible employer”), qualified wages are those wages paid by the eligible employer with respect to an employee during any period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the CARES Act (relating to a calendar quarter for which the operation of a trade or business is fully or partially suspended due to a governmental order) or during a calendar quarter within the period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(II) of the CARES Act (relating to a significant decline in gross receipts). The Company averaged fewer than 80 employees in 2019 and is therefore considered a small eligible employer under the CARES Act.

 

Healthcare plan expenses were not included in the analysis, although they are eligible if an employee has paid health insurance through their paycheck. Section 2301(c)(5)(B) of the CARES Act provides that “wages” include amounts paid by an eligible employer to provide and maintain a group health plan (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), but only to the extent that the amounts are excluded from the gross income of employees by reason of section 106(a) of the Code. The Company pays the first $500 of healthcare insurance for each employee, which generally covers the monthly cost of their insurance. Because of this, the Company conservatively did not include any of the cost of insurance in its analysis. Additionally, PPP loan amounts were deducted from the amount of total wages paid before calculating the qualified ERTC wages. The Company applied for the ERTC using Vivos Therapeutics Inc.’s payroll, which covers 95% of its employees.

 

As indicated above, for 2020, companies were eligible for a credit equal to 50 percent of the first ten thousand dollars of qualified wages paid per employee in the aggregate of each eligible quarter. Therefore, the maximum ERTC for the Company for 2020 is five thousand dollars ($5,000) per employee. For the second and fourth quarters of 2020, the total eligible credit was limited to approximately $0.5 million.

 

 

For 2021, the ERTC was 70% of the first ten thousand qualified wages paid per employee each quarter. Accordingly, the credit was limited to approximately $0.7 million. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, the Company accounted for the ERTC by analogy to ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, under ASC 450, entities would treat the ERTCs (whether received in cash or as an offset to current or future payroll taxes) as if they were gain contingencies. When applying ASC 450-30, entities would not consider the probability of complying with the terms of the ERC program but, rather, would defer any recognition in the income statement until all uncertainties are resolved and the income is “realized” or “realizable” (i.e., upon receipt of the funds or formal notice by the IRS that the company is entitled to such funds). In our case, the Company elected to follow a more conservative approach and instead of recognizing a receivable for amounts to be received when the amended tax forms were filed in 2022, it was decided to wait for the notice from IRS and cash was received. As for financial statement presentation, it is believed that either classifying the amounts as a reduction to payroll tax expense (expense off-set is however contrary to U.S. GAAP) or as other income to be acceptable with appropriate disclosure of the election made by the company. However, the IRS issued a renewed warning regarding the ERTC on March 7, 2023 urging taxpayers to carefully review the ERTC guidelines. The Company continues to evaluate additional information from the IRS, and elected to disclose the funds received as a separate line item under long-term liabilities on the balance sheet, until more information becomes available from the IRS. As a result, as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, approximately $1.2 million is reflected under long-term liabilities.

 

Loss and Gain Contingencies

Loss and Gain Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. Alternatively, when no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the lowest amount in the range. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the range of the loss is estimable, then the Company discloses the range of the possible loss. If the Company cannot estimate the range of loss, it will disclose the reason why it cannot estimate the range of loss. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to it to determine whether an accrual is required, an accrual should be adjusted and if a range of possible loss should be disclosed. Legal fees related to contingencies are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred. Contingencies that may result in gains are not recognized until realization is assured, which typically requires collection in cash.

 

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company computes the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected term using the simplified method which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the respective options. The Company determines the expected price volatility based on the historical volatilities of shares of the Company’s peer group as the Company does not have a sufficient trading history for its Common Stock. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the bio-tech industry similar to the Company in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. The Company recognizes the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award, usually the vesting period. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award were, in substance, a single award. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures and cancellations in the period that the forfeiture or cancellation occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for stock-based compensation.

 

 

Leases

Leases

 

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, accrued expenses, and operating lease liability - current and non-current portion in our balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires management judgment based on information available at lease commencement. The operating lease ROU assets also include adjustments for prepayments, accrued lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842 that include lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease agreements with a noncancelable term of less than 12 months are not recorded on our balance sheets.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results, or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The recorded valuation allowance is based on significant estimates and judgments and if the facts and circumstances change, the valuation allowance could materially change. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including stock options, convertible debt, Preferred Stock, and warrants, to the extent the same are dilutive.

 

Warrant Accounting

Warrant Accounting

 

The Company accounts for its warrants and financial instruments as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Warrants classified as liabilities and other financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and will be revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. Management estimates the fair value of these liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate.

 

 

Segment Information

Segment Information

 

We manage our business within one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Presented below is a discussion of new accounting standards including deadlines for adoption assuming that the Company retains its designation as an EGC.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The standard requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2025 for annual periods and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

We have reviewed and considered all other recent accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted and believe there are none that could potentially have a material impact on our business practices, financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

Description   Healthcare plan expenses were not included in the analysis, although they are eligible if an employee has paid health insurance through their paycheck. Section 2301(c)(5)(B) of the CARES Act provides that “wages” include amounts paid by an eligible employer to provide and maintain a group health plan (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), but only to the extent that the amounts are excluded from the gross income of employees by reason of section 106(a) of the Code. The Company pays the first $500 of healthcare insurance for each employee, which generally covers the monthly cost of their insurance. Because of this, the Company conservatively did not include any of the cost of insurance in its analysis. Additionally, PPP loan amounts were deducted from the amount of total wages paid before calculating the qualified ERTC wages. The Company applied for the ERTC using Vivos Therapeutics Inc.’s payroll, which covers 95% of its employees.    
Tax credit description   As indicated above, for 2020, companies were eligible for a credit equal to 50 percent of the first ten thousand dollars of qualified wages paid per employee in the aggregate of each eligible quarter. Therefore, the maximum ERTC for the Company for 2020 is five thousand dollars ($5,000) per employee. For the second and fourth quarters of 2020, the total eligible credit was limited to approximately $0.5 million.
