REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


NATURE OF OPERATIONS


REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. d/b/a KORU Medical Systems (the “Company,” “KORU Medical,” “we,” “us” or “our”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management. The Company operates as one segment.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“Annual Report”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from the accompanying financial statements.  The accompanying year-end balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report.  The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows that it may achieve in future periods.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company holds cash in excess of $250,000 at its depository, which exceeds the FDIC insurance limits and is, therefore, uninsured.


INVENTORY


Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates average cost, or market value including allocable overhead.  Work-in-process and finished goods are stated at the lower of standard cost or market value and include direct labor and allocable overhead.


PATENTS


Costs incurred in obtaining patents have been capitalized and are being amortized over the legal life of the patents.


INCOME TAXES


Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.


The Company believes that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure or adjustment.  Generally, tax years starting with 2018 are subject to examination by income tax authorities.


PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION


Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.


- 7 -



STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


The Company maintains a stock option plan under which it grants stock options to certain executives, key employees and consultants. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  All options are charged against income at their fair value.  The entire compensation expense of the award is recognized over the vesting period. Shares of stock granted for director fees are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date.


NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE


Basic earnings per share are computed on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during each year.  Diluted earnings per share include only an increase in the weighted average shares by the common shares issuable upon exercise of employee and consultant stock options.  See “NOTE 4 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION” for further detail.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Important estimates include but are not limited to asset lives, valuation allowances, inventory valuation, and accruals.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.  We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis.  Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to our accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows or related disclosures.  As such, prior period financial statements were not recast.


The Company’s revenues result from the sale of assembled products.  We recognize revenues when shipment occurs, and at which point the customer obtains control and ownership of the goods.  Shipping costs generally are billed to customers and are included in sales.


The Company generally does not accept return of goods shipped unless it is a Company error.  The only credits provided to customers are for defective merchandise.  The Company warrants the syringe driver from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and the warranty does not include a performance obligation.  The costs under the warranty are expensed as incurred.


Provisions for distributor pricing and annual customer growth rebates are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded or when it is probable the annual growth target will be achieved. Rebates are provided to distributors for the difference in selling price to distributor and pricing specified to select customers.

LEASES


In February 2016, the FASB issued a standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.  Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by the Company for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP, while our accounting for capital leases remains substantially unchanged.  Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  The standard became effective for us on January 1, 2019.  The standard had a material impact on our balance sheets but did not have a material impact on our statements of operations.  See “NOTE 6LEASES” for further detail.


ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED


In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740):  Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions including the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.  The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020.  The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2021 and it had no impact on our financial statement disclosures.


ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities.  For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses.  The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected.  For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down.  This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income.  The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provided elective amendments for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.  The amendments may be applied to impacted contracts and hedges prospectively through December 31, 2022.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.


The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability.  Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:


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

 

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.


The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments.  There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2021.


IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS


The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount.  The impairment loss, if recognized, would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its respective fair value.  No impairment losses have been recorded through March 31, 2021.


RECLASSIFICATION


Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income.

NOTE 3  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The Company has been and may again become involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  KORU Medical is not presently a party to any litigation or other legal proceeding that is believed to be material to its financial condition.


- 10 -



On March 26, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Executive Officer, alleging they made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations and prospects, in the Company’s earnings communications and Form 10-Q filed during the period August 4, 2020 and January 25, 2021.  The plaintiff is seeking unspecified compensatory damages, an award of reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.  The Company believes that the plaintiff’s allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.  Because the litigation is in its early stages, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonable possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter.


From 2013 until May 2020, we were involved in several lawsuits with our principal competitor, EMED, which were all settled in May 2020.


OTHER


On November 11, 2020, the Company entered into a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with Command Medical Products, Inc. (“Command”), pursuant to which Command has agreed to manufacture and supply the Company’s subassemblies, needle sets and tubing products pursuant to the Company’s specifications and purchase orders.  The first binding purchase order pursuant to the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement was made on November 17, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).


The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement provides for a term of five years from the Effective Date.  Either party may terminate the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement upon a material breach by the other Party that has not been cured within 90 days, upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other Party or as expressly set forth elsewhere in the Agreement.  If the Company terminates the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement other than for those reasons within the first three years from the Effective Date, the Company is obligated to pay an early termination fee to Command.


The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement also includes customary provisions relating to, among other things, delivery, inspection procedures, warranties, quality management, business continuity plans, handling and transport, intellectual property, confidentiality and indemnification.


NOTE 4  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


On June 29, 2016, the Board of Directors amended the Company’s 2015 Stock Option Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) authorizing the Company to grant awards to certain executives, key employees, and consultants under the Plan, which was approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 6, 2016.  The total number of shares of Common Stock, with respect to which awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan, may not exceed 6,000,000 pursuant to an amendment to the Plan approved by shareholders at their annual meeting on April 23, 2019.


On January 15, 2021, under the Plan, the Company issued to James M. Beck, its Interim Chief Executive Officer, a non-qualified option to purchase up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.37 per share, of which 100,000 vested on January 15, 2021 and 50,000 vested on March 22, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had options to purchase 3,172,494 shares of Common Stock outstanding to certain executives, key employees and consultants under the Plan, of which 1,250,000 were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2021.


Prior to January 1, 2021, each non-employee director of the Company was eligible to receive $50,000 annually (effective January 1, 2019), plus $10,000 for chairing a Board committee (effective February 20, 2019), all to be paid quarterly half in cash and half in common stock.  The Chairman of the Board was eligible to receive an additional $50,000 annually (effective October 1, 2019), all to be paid in common stock.


Effective January 1, 2021, each non-employee director of the Company (other than the Chairman of the Board) and Board advisor are eligible to receive of $75,000 annually, to be paid quarterly $12,500 in cash and $6,250 in common stock.  The Chairman of the Board is eligible to receive $100,000 annually, to be paid quarterly $12,500 in cash and $12,500 in common stock.  All payments were and are pro-rated for partial service.


- 11 -



On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with EMED Technologies Corporation (“EMED”) to settle all claims in connection with all pending litigation matters between them.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued to EMED (i) 95,238 restricted stock units, which vested on May 21, 2020 and 95,238 restricted stock units, which vested on January 1, 2021, and (ii) an option to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.21 per share prior to February 1, 2021, which was not exercised.


On February 16, 2021, Donald Pettigrew, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, exercised options held by him for an aggregate 1,000,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $1,230,000.


On March 22, 2021, our Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”), subject to approval of our shareholders at their annual meeting to be held on May 18, 2021.  There have been no awards made pursuant to the 2021 Equity Plan to date.


2015 STOCK OPTION PLAN, as amended


Time Based Stock Options


The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 was $3.06 and zero, respectively.  The fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.  Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of the options.  The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of the U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.  We have recognized tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation of $43,067 and $15,598 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 5  DEBT OBLIGATIONS


On April 14, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note to KeyBank in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million (the “Note”) as an extension of its line of credit, replacing its then current line of credit agreement.    The $3.5 million Note is in the form of a variable rate non-disclosable revolving line of credit with an interest rate of Prime Rate announced by the Bank minus 0.75%.  Interest is due monthly, and all principal and unpaid interest is due on June 1, 2021.  The $3.5 million Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.  The $3.5 million Note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type.  


In connection with the Note, the Company entered into a Commercial Security Agreement with the Bank dated April 14, 2020 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company to secure the obligations of the Company under the Note.  The Security Agreement contains terms and conditions typical for the granting of security interests of this kind.


The Company had no amount outstanding against the line of credit as of March 31, 2021.


On April 27, 2020, the Company entered into a Progress Payment Loan and Security Agreement (“PPLSA”) and a Master Security Agreement (the “MSA”), each dated as of April 20, 2020, with Key Equipment Finance, a division of the Bank (“KEF”), to provide up to $2.5 million in financing for equipment purchases from third party vendors.  The PPLSA allows the Company to make draws with KEF to make certain payments to the equipment suppliers prior to the commencement of periodic payments under a term loan. Each draw under the PPLSA will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the then-current Prime Rate and will be secured by the financed equipment under the MSA.  At the end of each calendar quarter or year, the advances made under the PPLSA will be converted to term loans, subject to KEF’s approval of the equipment and certain other closing conditions being met.  Once the draws under the PPLSA are converted into a term loan, each promissory note will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.07% per annum, subject to adjustment based on KEF’s cost of funds, with principal and interest payable in 84 equal consecutive monthly installments.  Each fixed rate installment promissory note may be prepaid, subject to a penalty if prepaid before the fifth anniversary of its issuance.  As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no amount outstanding against the PPLSA.


NOTE 6  LEASES


We have finance and operating leases for our corporate office and certain office and computer equipment.  Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 2 years, some of which include options to extend the leases annually and some with options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

NOTE 8  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On April 12, 2021, pursuant to an employment agreement entered into on March 15, 2021 with Linda Tharby, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company issued three restricted stock awards as follows, each vesting subject to employment on the respective vesting date:


(1) 600,000 shares of common stock to vest vesting as follows: if the Company’s Net Sales Growth (defined below) for any of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, 2024 or 2025 (each, a “Target Year”) is at least the applicable Net Sales Target set forth on the schedule to the restricted stock award agreement, then, on the applicable Vesting Date, a corresponding portion of the restricted stock award will vest as set forth on such schedule. Additionally, if Net Sales Growth is less than any of the Net Sales Targets set forth in such schedule in any Target Year (a “Miss Year”), vesting of the restricted stock award in the following Target Years (each such subsequent Target Year, a “Catch-up Year”) shall be further subject to the following catch-up vesting provisions: if the Net Sales Growth in the Miss Year(s) when averaged with the Net Sales in each Catch-up Year(s) equals or exceeds a Net Sales Target in any single Miss Year that has not previously been obtained, then on the applicable Vesting Date, an additional portion of the Award shall vest as if the applicable Net Sales Target had been met in the Miss Year(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restricted stock award shall automatically vest in full upon the Company maintaining, for a period of at least two consecutive fiscal quarters after January 1, 2022, at least a specified run rate over the previous four fiscal quarters, as reported in the Company’s filings pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


(2) 200,000 shares of common stock vesting 25% on April 12, 2022 and 25% on each twelve months thereafter.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


On January 22, 2021, Donald B. Pettigrew, President and Chief Executive Officer, resigned his employment effective immediately. Also, on January 22, 2021, James M. Beck, currently serving as a director, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis. Mr. Beck has remained a director, and Robert Allen, also currently a director, replaced Mr. Beck as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.


On March 15, 2021, Linda Tharby entered into an employment agreement with the Company providing for her appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer of KORU Medical Systems, effective April 12, 2021. Mr. Beck resigned as interim Chief Executive Officer upon the appointment of Ms. Tharby and will continue as a member of the Board of Directors.


OVERVIEW


The Company designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management.


KORU Medical continues to monitor its operations and government recommendations and has made modifications to its normal operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic, including requiring most of its non-production related team members to work remotely or on a staggered work shift.  The Company has continued to maintain a manufacturing operational capacity at its manufacturing facility located in Chester, New York, and has instituted heightened cleaning and sanitization standards and several health and safety protocols and procedures to safeguard its team members who do continue to report in person.  Until the duration of the pandemic is known, we cannot predict the effects the pandemic may have on our business, in particular with respect to demand for our products, our strategy, and our prospects, the effects on our customers, or the impact on our financial results.  For example, our future net sales growth may continue to be impacted due to fewer new prescriptions for individuals with Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (“PIDD”) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”) as a result of patients not seeking care during the pandemic.


- 17 -



Our revenues derive from three business sources: (i) domestic core, (ii) international core, and (iii) novel therapies.  Our core revenues consist of sales of our products for the delivery of SCIg to treat PIDD, CIDP, and other disease states that are not included in novel therapies.  Novel therapies currently consist of revenues from clinical trials, which include sales of pumps, tubing and needles.


Total net sales were $5.4 million, or 14% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the prior year period.  The decrease was due principally to lower novel therapies compared with last year due to a non-recurring clinical trial, lower pump volume in our domestic core business due to prior year ordering patterns and a one-time pharmaceutical customer pump purchase.  Domestic core net sales also reflected a slowdown in the growth of new patient starts for SCIg therapy.


We incurred a significant amount of expenses totaling $1.3 million during the quarter related to the departure and replacement of our Chief Executive Officer and the recruitment of two new Board members, which included non-cash equity charges of $0.4 million.


Our inventory position increased $1.2 million from at December 31, 2020 as we transition manufacturing to our secondary source.  As transition is completed, this inventory is expected to convert to a source of cash in the future.

Total net sales decreased $0.9 million or 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with the same period last year, driven primarily by lower novel therapies of $0.4 million compared with last year due to a non-recurring clinical trial, lower pump volume in our domestic core business of $0.4 million primarily due to prior year ordering patterns and a one-time pharmaceutical customer pump purchase.  Domestic core net sales also reflected a slowdown in the growth of new patient starts for SCIg therapy. International core net sales were $1.0 million, nearly even with the same period last year.


Gross Profit


Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Gross profit decreased $0.6 million or 14.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.  This decrease in the quarter was mostly driven by the decrease in net sales of $0.9 million as described above.  Gross margin was slightly lower due primarily to lower volume in pump sales where we have a higher gross margin, partially offset by favorable production variances.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 74.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year, mostly due to $1.3 million in costs associated with the departure and replacement of the former chief executive officer and the recruitment of two new Board members, which includes non-cash equity expense of $0.4 million.  Further contributing to the increase was higher salary and related benefits of $0.6 million from new hires in the second half of last year to support commercialization, business development and medical affairs for our pharmaceutical channel initiatives, as well as infrastructure.


Research and development expenses increased $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with the same period last year mostly due to increases to support pharmaceutical product development.  


Depreciation and amortization


Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 32.4 % to $115,473 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with $87,224 in the three months ended March 31, 2020.  We continue to invest in capital assets, mostly related to manufacturing and computer equipment.

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.3 million compared to net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, driven by lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expenses mostly due to costs described above. Offsetting the loss was a tax benefit of $0.5 million resulting from book to tax differences related to stock option expense.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Our principal source of liquidity is our cash on hand of $26.8 million as of March 31, 2021, which includes the net proceeds from the 2020 capital raise totaling $26.6 million.  Our principal source of operating cash inflows is from sales of our products to customers. Our principal cash outflows relate to the purchase and production of inventory and related costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Operating Activities


Net cash used in operating activities of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the net loss of $1.3 million, working capital changes which include an increase in inventory of $1.2 million related to the transition of manufacturing to our secondary source, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.0 million due to delayed payments at our largest distributor, as well as a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.9 million most of which was non-cash activity related to the issuance of common stock in settlement of litigation.  Further contributing were deferred tax assets of $0.9 million increased for book to tax differences related to stock option expense.  Offsetting these were primarily non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $0.7 million, an increase in accounts payable of $1.3 million due to timing of payments and an increase in accrued payroll of $0.4 million related to the separation agreement with our former chief executive officer.


Net cash provided by operating activities of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was mostly attributable to net income of $0.4 million, non-cash charges for stock-based compensation of $0.4 million, an increase in accounts payable of $0.5 million and an increase in tax liability of $0.2 million.  Offsetting these were an increase in inventory of $0.7 million, and a decrease in accrued expenses of $0.4 million mostly related to cash payments for bonuses accrued for at December 31, 2019, net of current year accrual for bonuses, offset by higher rebates.  Further offsetting the cash provided by operating activities was an increase in prepaid expenses of $0.2 million, as well as higher accounts receivable of $0.2 million.


Investing Activities


Net cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million for the three months ending March 31, 2021 was for capital expenditures for manufacturing and office equipment.


Net cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million for the three months ending March 31, 2020 was for capital expenditures for research and development and strategic initiatives as well as for patent and trademark applications.  


Financing Activities


The $2.2 million provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is from options exercised and the non-cash activity related to the issuance of common stock in settlement of litigation.


The $1.6 million provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is from the $1.5 million drawn down on the line of credit and $0.1 million from options exercised.

PART I – ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


The Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as such is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Based upon their evaluations, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


None.


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The Company has been and may again become involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  KORU Medical is not presently a party to any litigation or other legal proceeding that is believed to be material to its financial condition.


On March 26, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Executive Officer, alleging they made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations and prospects, in the Company’s earnings communications and Form 10-Q filed during the period August 4, 2020 and January 25, 2021.  The plaintiff is seeking unspecified compensatory damages, an award of reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.  The Company believes that the plaintiff’s allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the claims.  Because the litigation is in its early stages, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonable possible loss or range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter.


From 2013 until May 2020, we were involved in several lawsuits with our principal competitor, EMED, which were all settled in May 2020.  Refer to our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS


Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in “PART 1, ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock.   There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
