BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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, 2021 (“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

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

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

PATENTS

 

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

INCOME TAXES

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 2019 are subject to examination by income tax authorities.

PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION

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.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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.

 

The Company also maintains an omnibus equity incentive plan. To date the Company has only granted shares of stock for director fees under this plan and those shares of stock granted are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date.

 

The Company issues restricted stock awards. Restricted stock awards are equity classified and measured at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards vesting at certain market capitalization thresholds were estimated on the date of grant using the Brownian Motion Monte Carlo lattice model. The fair value of restricted stock awards with time-based vesting were estimated on the date of grant at the current stock price. We recognize restricted stock expense using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period and account for forfeitures as they occur.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

NET LOSS 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

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

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Our revenues are derived from three business sources: (i) domestic core, (ii) international core, and (iii) novel therapies.  Our core domestic and international revenues consist of sales of our syringe drivers, tubing and needles (“Product Revenue”) for the delivery of subcutaneous drugs that are FDA cleared for use with the KORU Medical infusion system, with the primary delivery for immunoglobulin to treat PIDD and CIDP. Novel therapies consist of Product Revenue for feasibility/clinical trials (pre-clinical studies, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III) of biopharmaceutical companies in the drug development process as well as non-recurring engineering services (“NRE”) revenues received from biopharmaceutical companies to ready or customize the FREEDOM System for clinical and commercial use.

 

For Product Revenues, 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.

 

Our novel therapies revenues can fluctuate and may not be consistent from period to period. Engineering work performed on our product may be specialized and tailored to the specific needs of each independent clinical trial and not uniform in nature. The clinical trial size and scope of protocols may also range greatly from customer to customer, and there is no expectation of repeat customers on a consistent basis compared to our normal course of business. We recognize NRE revenue under an input method, which recognizes revenue on the basis of our efforts or inputs (for example, resources consumed, labor hours expended, costs incurred, or time elapsed) to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation (ie completion milestone). The input method that we use is based on costs incurred.

 

The following table summarizes net sales by geography for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021:

 

    Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30,

LEASES

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 6 LEASES” for further detail.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED

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

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 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 six months ended June 30, 2022.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

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 June 30, 2022.
