Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Stem Pearls, LLC (“Stem Pearls”) and Stem Cell Cayman Ltd. (“Cayman”), which was formed in the Cayman Islands (collectively, “BRT” or the “Company”). BRT develops therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. BRT’s website is at www.biorestorative.com. BRT is currently developing a Disc/Spine Program referred to as “brtxDISC”. Its lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. The product is intended to be used for the non-surgical treatment of protruding and bulging lumbar discs in patients suffering from chronic lumbar disc disease. BRT is also engaging in research efforts with respect to a platform technology utilizing brown adipose (fat) for therapeutic purposes to treat metabolic disease and has labeled this initiative its “ThermoStem Program.” Through the program, BRT is developing an allogeneic cell-based therapy to target type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Further, BRT is developing a patented curved needle device that is a needle system to allow access to difficult to locate regions for the delivery or removal of fluids and other substances. BRT’s Stem Pearls brand offers plant stem cell-based cosmetic skincare products that are available for purchase online at www.stempearls.com.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2016 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2016 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on March 30, 2016.

 

Effective July 7, 2015, pursuant to authority granted by the stockholders of the Company, the Company implemented a 1-for-20 reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”) and a reduction in the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued by the Company from 200,000,000 to 30,000,000. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split for all periods presented.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,151,918 and $4,004,873, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred net losses of $2,258,415 and $4,745,743, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity and debt financings. The Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings. There is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management’s Plans – Continued

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2016, we have received aggregate equity and debt financing of $340,000 and $300,000, respectively, debt and accrued interest of $288,000 and $14,954, respectively, has been repaid and debt and accrued interest of $55,000 and $3,195, respectively, has been converted into common stock. As a result, the Company expects to have the cash required to fund its operations through September 2016. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful, the Company is in active negotiations to raise additional capital. As of the filing date of this report, the Company has notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $157,500 which are past due. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to these notes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in extending or converting these notes. See Note 8 – Subsequent Events for additional details.

 

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Cayman and Stem Pearls. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, warrants issued in connection with notes payable and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations and Credit Risk

 

Two pharmaceutical clients comprised substantially all of the Company’s revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. See Revenue Recognition – Research and Development Agreements below.

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

 

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

 

   June 30, 
   2016   2015 
Options   2,160,950    789,200 
Warrants   2,486,286    728,850 
Convertible notes   90,297    65,719 
Total potentially dilutive shares   4,737,533    1,583,769 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) were registered on May 27, 2014, the Company estimates the fair value of the awards granted under the Plan based on the market value of its freely tradable common stock as reported on the OTCQB market. The fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires an entity to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-09 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”). The amendments in this update clarify the following two aspects to Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. The entity first identifies the promised goods or services in the contract and reduces the cost and complexity. An entity evaluates whether promised goods and services are distinct. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-10 and its impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

  [1]As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, convertible notes with an aggregate principal balance of $195,000 and $420,000, respectively, were convertible into shares of common stock at the election of the Company near maturity. In the event the Company exercised or exercises that conversion right on a designated portion of such principal balance, the holder had or has the right to accelerate the conversion of up to $145,000 and $197,500, respectively, of principal into shares of common stock.

 

Related Parties Notes

 

As of June 30, 2016, a lender holding a note payable in the principal amount of $150,000 is a related party as a result of having more than 5% beneficial ownership interest in the Company's common stock.

 

On June 30, 2016, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Tuxis Trust (the “Trust”). A director and principal shareholder of the Company serves as a trustee of the Trust, which was established for the benefit of his immediate family. The promissory note evidencing the loan provides for the payment of the principal amount, together with interest at the rate of 10% per annum, on July 1, 2017. In the event that, prior to maturity, the Company receives net proceeds of $10,000,000 from a single equity or debt financing (as opposed to a series of related or unrelated financings), the Trust has the right to require that the Company prepay the amount due under the note (subject to the consent of the party that provided the particular financing). In consideration of the loan, the Company issued to the Trust a five-year immediately vested warrant for the purchase of 40,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The $55,659 relative fair value of the warrant has been recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the note.

 

Convertible Notes

 

Issuances

 

On March 7, 2016, the Company issued a convertible note with a principal amount of $75,000 which bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable upon maturity. The convertible note is payable as follows: (i) $25,000 of principal and the respective accrued interest on such principal is payable six months from the issuance date (the “March Note First Maturity Date”), (ii) $25,000 of principal and the respective accrued interest on such principal is payable two weeks following the March Note First Maturity Date, and (iii) $25,000 of principal and the respective accrued interest on such principal is payable one month following the March Note First Maturity Date. Each payment of principal and the respective accrued interest is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the Company during the period beginning five days prior to maturity and ending on the day immediately prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the greater of (a) 62% of the fair market value of the Company’s stock or (b) $2.00 per share. Should the Company elect to convert any of the note principal and respective accrued interest, the holder will have the right to accelerate the conversion of the remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest of the note at the same conversion price. The Company will recognize the beneficial conversion feature of the note as debt discount at the time the contingently adjustable conversion ratio is resolved.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $0 and $215,446, respectively, related to the beneficial conversion feature as debt discount which was immediately amortized. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized $0 and $10,690, respectively, of intrinsic value related to the beneficial conversion feature as debt discount which was amortized immediately.

Litigations, Claims and Assessments

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, such matters are currently not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency

 

Common Stock and Warrant Offerings

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 558,343 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,402,687 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $4.50 to $5.00 per share to investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,233,372. Of the aggregate warrants issued, warrants to purchase 444,444, 400,000 and 558,243 shares of common stock had terms of 0.7, 1.0 and 5 years, respectively. The warrants had an aggregate grant date fair value of $1,395,408.

 

Warrant and Option Valuation

 

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at an annual rate ranging from 0% to 5% for options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

 

Warrant Exercises

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,831 shares of common stock were exercised at a reduced exercise price of $3.50 per share (reduced from exercises prices ranging from $4.00 to $15.00 per share) for aggregate gross proceeds of $212,898. The Company recognized a warrant modification charge of $23,448 during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which represents the incremental value of the modified warrants as compared to the original warrants, both valued as of the respective modification dates.

Overview

 

We develop therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult (non-embryonic) stem cells. We are currently pursuing our Disc/Spine Program with our initial therapeutic product being called BRTX-100. We have obtained a license to use technology for adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including protruding and bulging lumbar discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the legs and feet. We are also developing our ThermoStem Program. This pre-clinical program involves the use of brown fat in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies. A United States patent related to the ThermoStem Program was issued in September 2015.

 

We are developing a patented curved needle device that is a needle system to allow access to difficult to locate regions for the delivery or removal of fluids and other substances. We also offer stem cell derived cosmetic and skin care products.

 

Our offices are located in Melville, New York where we have established a laboratory facility in order to increase our capabilities for the further development of possible cellular-based treatments, products and protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property and translational research applications.

 

As of June 30, 2016, our accumulated deficit was $38,069,249, our stockholders’ deficiency was $4,004,873 and our working capital deficiency was $5,151,918. We have historically only generated a modest amount of revenue, our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in research and development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products and services, plus general and administrative costs and consulting expenses associated with meeting the requirements of being a public company. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for these activities over at least the next year.

 

 18 
   

 

Based upon our working capital deficiency as of June 30, 2016 and our forecast for continued operating losses, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. As of June 30, 2016, our outstanding debt of $1,917,565, together with interest at rates ranging between 0% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through July 2017. Subsequent to June 30, 2016 and through August 12, 2016, we have received aggregate equity and debt financing of $340,000 and $300,000, respectively, debt and accrued interest of $288,000 and $14,954, respectively, has been repaid and debt and accrued interest of $55,000 and $3,195, respectively, has been converted into common stock. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $157,500 which are past due. As of August 12, 2016, the outstanding balance of our debt of $1,916,563, together with accrued interest, was due and payable between on demand and July 2017. Based upon our working capital deficiency and outstanding debt, we expect that we will have the cash required to fund our operations through September 2016. We anticipate that we will require between $7,500,000 and $8,500,000 in financing to commence and complete a Phase 2 clinical trial with regard to our Disc/Spine Program. We anticipate that we will require between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000 in further additional funding to complete our clinical trials with regard to our Disc/Spine Program. We will also require a substantial amount of additional funding if we determine to establish a manufacturing operation with regard to our Disc/Spine Program (as opposed to utilizing a third party manufacturer) and to implement our other programs discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016, including our metabolic ThermoStem Program. The anticipated amounts of required funding are based on management’s estimates, and additionally, there can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish our goals within the timeframes projected or that we will be able to obtain any required financing on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise.

 

We are currently considering several different financing alternatives to support our future operations and are currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to our outstanding indebtedness. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis or, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Revenues

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we generated $16,000 of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement and $155 of sales of Stem Pearls skincare products. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we generated $146,764 of revenues through the services provided pursuant to our research and development agreements, plus $2,000 of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement. The decrease in our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015 was primarily due to the completion of our obligations under our research and development agreements as of December 31, 2015 and as of the date of this filing there were no new research and development agreements.

 

Cost of sales

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, cost of sales was $71 as compared to $74,645 for 2015. For the three months ended June 30 2016, cost of sales consisted of the costs of the underlying Stem Pearls skincare products sold. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, cost of sales consisted primarily of the portion of employee salary expense, consultant fees, and laboratory supplies expense related to servicing our research and development agreements. The decrease in our cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015 was due to the completion of our obligations under our research and development agreements during 2015.

 

 20 
   

 

Marketing and promotion

 

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, marketing and promotion expenses decreased by $30,913, or 63%, to $18,178 as compared to $49,091 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to reduced travel activity and associated costs of approximately $19,000.

 

We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services. 

 

Consulting

 

Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, consulting expenses increased $411,015, or 296%, to $550,006, as compared to $138,991 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is due to an approximately $382,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense related to options issued to directors and consultants during the three months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by certain consultants not performing work in 2016.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer (in part in 2015); (b) our Vice President of Research and Development; (c) our Scientific Advisory Board members; (d) our President, Disc/Spine Division; and (e) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, research and development expenses increased by $156,200, or 35%, to $608,688, as compared to $452,488 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily related to an approximately $127,000 increase in payroll due to increased headcount, an approximately $33,000 increase in payments to advisors, an approximately $27,000 increase in the purchase of laboratory supplies all partially offset by an approximately $30,000 decrease in non-cash compensation to employees and advisors and an approximately $17,000 decrease related to a reduction in our Chief Executive Officer’s research and development activities during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

 

We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer attributable to research and development in part in 2015; (b) our Vice President of Research and Development; (c) our President, Disc/Spine Division; and (d) our laboratory staff) as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, general and administrative expenses increased by $286,005, or 41%, to $982,358 as compared to $696,353 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily related to an increase of approximately $379,000 in non-cash compensation to employees and our Chief Executive Officer, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $118,000 in professional fees primarily related to a legal settlement and our aborted underwritten public offering in 2015.

 

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

 

Interest expense

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, interest expense decreased by $15,088, or 25%, to $45,008 as compared to $60,096 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was due to a reduction in interest-bearing short-term borrowings as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Amortization of debt discount

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, amortization of debt discount decreased by $5,921, or 8%, to $65,448 as compared to $71,369 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of recognition of expense related to the beneficial conversion features of convertible notes and the recognition of the debt discount expense.

 

 21 
   

 

Loss on extinguishment of notes payable

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, loss on extinguishment of notes payable decreased by $21,216, or 82%, to $4,813 as compared to $26,029 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the value of investors’ debt exchanged into equity securities.

Revenues

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we generated $25,000 of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement and $280 of sales of Stem Pearls skincare products. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated $327,466 of revenues through the services provided pursuant to our research and development agreements, $6,000 of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement and $200 from sales of Stem Pearls® skincare products. The decrease in our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015 was due to the completion of our obligations under our research and development agreements as of December 31, 2015 and as of the date of this filing there were no new research and development agreements.

 

Cost of sales

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, cost of sales was $81 as compared to $151,077 for 2015. For the six months ended June 30 2016, cost of sales consisted of the costs of the underlying Stem Pearls skincare products. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, cost of sales consisted primarily of the portion of employee salary expense, consultant fees, and laboratory supplies expense related to our research and development agreements. The decrease in our cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015 was due to the completion of our obligations under our research and development agreements during 2015.

 

Marketing and promotion

 

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, marketing and promotion expenses decreased by $53,333, or 57%, to $40,695 as compared to $94,028 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease is primarily due to reduced travel activity and associated costs of approximately $46,000.

 

We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services. 

 

Consulting

 

Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, consulting expenses increased $330,753, or 66%, to $834,813 as compared to $504,060 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is due to an approximately $372,000 increase in consultant stock-based compensation expense related to options granted to directors and consultants during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer (in part during 2015); (b) our Vice President of Research and Development; (c) our Scientific Advisory Board members; (d) our President, Disc/Spine Division; and (e) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, research and development expenses increased by $615,388, or 72%, to $1,474,732 as compared to $859,344 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily related to an approximately $324,000 increase in payroll due to increased headcount including the hiring of our President, Disc/Spine Division in early 2015 and an approximately $289,000 increase in costs related to a third party laboratory associated with our disc/spine initiative.

 

We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.

 

General and administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer attributable to research and development in part in 2015; (b) our Vice President of Research and Development; (c) our President, Disc/Spine Division; and (d) our laboratory staff) as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, general and administrative expenses increased by $271,312, or 17%, to $1,885,239 as compared to $1,613,927 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily related to an increase of approximately $459,000 in non-cash compensation to employees and our Chief Executive Officer and an approximately $93,000 increase in payroll due to increased headcount, all partially offset by a decrease of approximately $305,000 in professional fees primarily related to a legal settlement and our aborted underwritten public offering in 2015.

 

 23 
   

 

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

 

Interest expense

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, interest expense decreased by $36,888, or 30%, to $87,848 as compared to $124,736 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was due to a reduction in interest-bearing short-term borrowings as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Amortization of debt discount

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, amortization of debt discount increased by $261,585, or 186%, to $402,469 as compared to $140,884 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the timing of the recognition of expense related to the beneficial conversion features of convertible notes and the recognition of the debt discount expense.

 

Loss on extinguishment of notes payable

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, loss on extinguishment of notes payable decreased by $9,369, or 36%, to $16,660 as compared to $26,029 during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction of the value of investors’ debt exchanged into equity securities.

 

Warrant modification expense

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded expense of $28,436 related to the modification of the exercise prices of certain outstanding warrants. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded no warrant modification expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

   June 30, 2016   December 31, 2015 
   (unaudited)     
         
Cash  $516,190   $166,555 
           
Working Capital Deficiency  $(5,151,918)  $(5,323,179)
           
Notes Payable (Gross)  $1,917,565   $1,470,083 

 

Availability of Additional Funds

 

Based upon our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $5,151,918 and $4,004,873, respectively, as of June 30, 2016, we require additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 24 
   

 

As of June 30, 2016, our outstanding debt of $1,917,565, together with interest at rates ranging between 0% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through July 2017. Subsequent to June 30, 2016 and through August 12, 2016, we have received aggregate equity and debt financing of $340,000 and $300,000, respectively, $288,000 and $14,954 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been repaid and $55,000 and $3,195 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been converted into common stock. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $157,500 which are past due. As of the date of filing, our outstanding debt was as follows:

 

   Principal 
Maturity Date  Amount 
     
Past Due  $157,500 
QE 9/30/2016   50,000 
QE 12/31/2016   527,063 
QE 3/31/2017   592,000 
QE 6/30/2017   90,000 
QE 9/30/2017   500,000 
   $1,916,563 

 

Based upon our working capital deficiency, outstanding debt and forecast for continued operating losses, we expect that we will have the cash required to fund our operations through September 2016. Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes). Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund contemplated clinical trials, working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

 

We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 in the amounts of $2,735,405 and $1,484,389, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $4,745,743, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,933,040 plus $77,298 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of an increase in accrued interest, expenses and other current liabilities offset by a decrease in accounts payable, plus a decrease in accounts receivables. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $3,180,419, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $856,050, partially offset by $839,980 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accrued interest, expenses and other current liabilities, plus accounts payable.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $151,200, due to cash used for the purchase of furniture, computer equipment and medical equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, $151,914 of cash was used to purchase fixed assets and $75,000 was used to retain the exclusivity of our disc/spine license.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $3,236,240 and $1,625,950, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, $789,970 of net proceeds were from debt financings and other borrowings and $2,446,270 of proceeds were from equity financings (including proceeds received in connection with the exercise of common stock purchase warrants). During the six months ended June 30, 2015, $574,950 of net proceeds were from debt financings and $1,051,000 of proceeds were from equity financings.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Not applicable. See, however, Item 7 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016.

 

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

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or Section 3(a)(9) of the Act as a security exchanged by an issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information filed with the SEC contained in Current Reports on Form 8-K , our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016 for issuances after the May 13, 2016 filing date and press releases made by us), and we were available to answer questions from prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor. The proceeds were used to reduce our working capital deficit.
