NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 1. Description of Business

 

Nature of Business and Going Concern

 

Sharps Technology, Inc. (“Sharps” or the “Company”) is a pre-revenue medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes and is seeking commercialization by manufacturing and distribution of its products.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sharps Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Safegard Medical, Kft. and Sharps Technology Acquisition Corp. collectively referred to as the “Company.” The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss and statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (the “interim statements”) are unaudited. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and operating results for the interim periods have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosure, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated revenue or cash flow from operations since inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital of $3,347,912 which is not expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for the next 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to acquire or commercialize its products into a profitable business. The Company intends to finance its commercialization activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

 

On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $14.2 million on April 19, 2022 (See Note 8).

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED September 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2023, the most significant estimates relate to derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions.

 

Inventories

 

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. A reserve is established for any excess or obsolete inventories or they may be written off. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory is comprised of raw materials, including packaging, work in process (components) and finished goods.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value.

 

The Company’s outstanding warrants are fair valued on a recurring basis with the trading price which could cause fluctuations in operating results at the reporting periods.

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s fixed assets consist of land, building, machinery and equipment, molds and website. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method commencing on the date the asset is operating in the way intended by management over the following useful lives: Building – 20 years, Machinery and Equipment – 3 -10 years and Website and Computer Systems – 3 years. The expected life for Molds is based on the lesser of the number of parts that will be produced based on the expected mold capability or 5 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset.

 

There were no impairment losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Purchased Identified Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense

 

The Company measures its stock-based awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of the grant date. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur on a prospective basis.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees as consideration for services received is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

At their issuance date and as of September 30, 2023, the warrants (see Notes 8 and 10) were accounted for as liabilities as these instruments did not meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40 based on the terms of the aforementioned warrants. The resulting warrant liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date until their exercise or expiration, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions

 

The Company has determined that the functional currency for its foreign subsidiary is the local currency. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at current exchange rates and profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in other than the functional currency are recorded as foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the Company’s consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments related to its subsidiary. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax effected as the Company has a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is a separate component of stockholders’ equity and consists of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Basic EPS includes the 3,381,479 of pre-funded warrants (see Note 8). Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2023, there were 22,815,155 stock options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expenses for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are used in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits, tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred taxes and tax liabilities. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision in a subsequent period.

 

The provision for income taxes was comprised of the Company’s current tax liability and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The calculation of the current tax liability involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and in determining the liability for tax positions, if any, taken on the Company’s tax returns in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the Company’s deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely on a more-likely-than-not basis, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. However, should there be a change in the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes would fluctuate in the period of such change.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

 

Contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are evaluated and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASC Topic 848 provides relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. ASC Topic 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt arrangements, contracts, hedging relationships, and other areas or transactions that are impacted by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective upon issuance for all entities and elections of certain optional expedients are required to apply the provisions of the guidance.

 

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments, requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about “the terms and features of convertible instruments” and how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per Share, on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. The ASU’s amendments are effective for smaller public business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company continues to assess all potential impact of the standard and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections that the Company makes.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”, intended to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendment also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. ASU No. 2022-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the adoption of the amendments and the potential impact it may have, if any, on its financial statements.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations.

Depreciation expense of fixed assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $646,538 net of foreign currency impacts and $280,053 respectively. Substantially, all the Company’s fixed assets are located at the Company’s Hungary location.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $63,612 in fixed asset costs relating to the estimated fair market value for options granted in 2021 for the acquired machinery. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has $100,000 in remaining payments for machinery purchased, which is included in accounts payable.

 

Note 5. Asset Acquisition

 

Safegard Medical, Kft

 

In June 2020, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Safegard Medical, Kft (“Safegard”) and amendments to the Agreement, collectively, the Agreements, to purchase either the stock or certain assets of a manufacturing facility for $2.5M in cash, plus additional consideration of 28,571 shares of common stock with an estimated fair market value of $7.00, 35,714 stock options with an exercise price of $7.00 and 50,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.25. The purchase price includes the fair market value of the common stock of $200,000 and the vested options of $183,135. The Agreements provided the Company various periods for due diligence and post due diligence, requirements for escrow payments through the closing date (“Closing Date”).

 

Through the Closing Date, the Agreements provided the Company with the exclusive use of the facility in exchange for payment of the facility’s operating costs. The monthly fee (“Operating Costs”), which primarily covered the facility’s operating costs, was mainly comprised of the seller’s workforce costs, materials and other recurring monthly operating cost.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had remitted $0 and $575,000, respectively for the forementioned Operating Costs. The remittance of operating costs was discontinued after the Closing Date. These costs were included in research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the activities at the facility in 2022 were related to design and testing of the Company’s products.

 

The acquisition of Safegard, which closed on July 6, 2022, did not meet the definition of a business pursuant to ASC 805-10, and accordingly was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50. The cost of the acquisition was $2,936,712, including transaction costs of $53,576, with the allocation to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. The intangibles relate to permits and a limited workforce acquired. Under ASC 805-50, no goodwill is recognized. The operating results for Safegard are included in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the period beginning after the closing on July 6, 2022.

Nephron Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On September 22, 2023, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Nephron and Nephron’s wholly owned subsidiary, InjectEZ, LLC, including, an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to purchase certain equipment and leasehold improvements at Nephron’s facility (the “Facility”) in West Columbia, South Carolina. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for a cash purchase price of $40,378,594 and the issuance of a five (5) year subordinated promissory note (the “Nephron Note”) to Nephron in the principal amount of $10.0 million which bears interest at 8% per annum to be paid upon the closing (the “Closing”) of the transaction. The Nephron Note will be redeemable (25% per quarter) during the first year if Nephron’s syringe purchase orders result in revenue of at least $7,500,000 per quarter during the first year. The Company will also issue Nephron warrants to purchase 4% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Nephron Warrants”) exercisable for a five-year period at an exercise price of $1.56 per share. The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent on the Company obtaining the necessary funding to consummate the acquisition and to fund the costs of production.

 

In conjunction with the execution of the above Asset Purchase Agreement, on September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a ten-year Purchase Agreement with Nephron whereby Nephron agreed to utilize the Sharps as its exclusive pre-filled COC syringe manufacturer and to purchase a minimum aggregate of $450.0 million of syringes over the term of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains specific quantities of products required to be purchased from the Company during the term of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides that Nephron will make an initial purchase order of $32.0 million upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The effectiveness of the Purchase Agreement is subject to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) Closing.

 

Note 6. Other Assets

Deposits or advance payments on machinery, molds, components, or technology (see Note 15)   473,578    336,466 
Other   370    12,370 
Other assets  $526,766   $411,316 

 

Intangibles are related to the Asset Acquisition (see Note 5) and consist of an acquired workforce and permits. Amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $10,594 and $3,136, respectively.

 

Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement

 

On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”) with three unrelated third-party purchasers (“Purchasers”). The Purchasers provided financing to the Company in the form of bridge financing, aggregating principal of $2,000,000 (the “Notes”). The principal under the Notes shall be payable on the earlier of (i) December 14, 2022, and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”), herein referred to as the “Maturity Date”. The Notes bore interest at 8% with interest payments due monthly. The Company and the Purchasers had entered into a Security Agreement whereby the Notes were collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company, both tangible and intangible both currently owned with stated exclusions, as defined, and any future acquired with stated exclusions, as defined.

 

The NPA provided for covenants that until all of the Notes have been converted, exchanged, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Purchasers: a) incur or guarantee any new debt, b) issue any securities that would cause a breach or default under the NPA, c) incur any liens other than permitted, d) redeem or repurchase shares, e) declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution, e) sell, lease or dispose of assets other than in the ordinary course of business, or f) engage in different line of business.

Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement (continued)

 

As additional consideration to the Purchasers for providing the financing, the Company also agreed to a) issue each Purchaser a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the original principal amount of each Purchaser’s Note (the “Contingent Stock”) and b) issue each Purchaser a number of warrants, which would allow the Purchasers to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to 50% of the original principal amount each Purchaser’s Note for a term of 5.0 years (the “Contingent Warrants”).

 

For both the Contingent Stock and the Contingent Warrants, the number of shares and warrants that each Purchaser will be issued was unknown at the time of the NPA and was determined based on a formula of 50% of the original principal amount divided by a “Subsequent Offering Price” based on the valuation in a future offering of Common stock or other equity interest in the Company (such offering referred to as a “Consummated Offering”) during the period beginning on December 14, 2021 through and including the date the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”) (such period referred to as the “Subsequent Offering Period”).

 

In accordance with ASC 480-10-25-14, a fixed monetary amount exists at inception for the total value of Contingent Stock that may be issued to each Purchaser. The Contingent Stock is not considered outstanding at inception, as it will only be issued upon the consummation of a Consummated Offering, and accordingly, is a conditional obligation. As such the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Contingent Stock at inception was $677,000, which was recorded as debt discount. Similarly, a fixed monetary amount further exists at inception for the total value of Contingent Warrants that may be issued to each Purchaser. Accordingly, a conditional obligation exists and as such the FMV of Contingent Warrants at inception was $585,000, which was recorded as debt discount. The Company incurred $197,500 of debt issuance costs associated with the NPA. The debt issuance costs were allocated between the Notes, Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants in a manner that was consistent with the allocation of the proceeds of the Notes. The portion of the debt issuance costs which were allocated to the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants, which was $124,460, was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The debt issuance costs allocated to the Notes were recorded as a debt discount.

 

The Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liabilities were measured at FMV on the date of issuance (based on the Black-Scholes valuation model).

 

At inception, the Notes were recorded at the net amount of approximately $665,000, after adjusting for debt discounts of approximately $1,335,000 relating to the debt issuance costs, Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants. Management calculates the effective interest rate (“EIR”) to consider the potential repayment at redemption date by reference to the face value amount after taking into account the stated 8% interest rate. In 2022, through for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $39,111 and accreted interest of $206,417 The Company repaid the $2,000,000 in Notes with proceeds from the IPO that closed on April 19, 2022.

 

The value of the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants was required to be re-measured at FMV at each reporting date, using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or other valuation method, if deemed more appropriate, with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 480, Debt and Equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $287,000 fair market (FMV) charge to reflect the increase in the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants. On April 19, 2022, the Company issued 235,295 shares of Common Stock to settle the Contingent Stock liability, re-measured the liability at its estimated FMV based on the stock’s trading price and reclassified $496,000 to Common Stock Par Value and Additional Paid in Capital.

Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company and Mr. Blackman entered into a separation agreement whereby, Mr. Blackman will be paid severance payments of approximately $346,000, which was recorded as an expense and an accrued expense as of June 30, 2023, over thirteen months, continue his medical benefits for such period with a cost of approximately $29,000 which has been accrued at June 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance due Mr. Blackman is $298,000. Further, all unvested options were fully vested. In connection with the separation agreement, Mr. Blackman no longer serves as Co-Chairman or Board member and has agreed to vote his Series A Preferred Stock in favor of the election, reelection, and/or designation of each individual nominated to serve as a director on the Board of Director as shall be identified in an applicable proxy statement filed by the Company for such election of directors. Once the payments due Mr. Blackman are fully paid, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed immediately cancelled and forfeited and without further consideration. The Series A Preferred shall at such time be returned to the status of an authorized but unissued share of preferred stock of the Company.

 

On September 30, 2022, the Company entered into a formal employment agreement, effective on such date and will continue until terminated by either party, subject to the terms of the agreement, with Andrew R. Crescenzo who has been serving as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on a contract services basis for the last three years. The agreement provided for annual compensation of $225,000 and plus a one-time $18,750 incentive payment upon the commencement of the agreement. During the course of the term, Mr. Crescenzo will be eligible for (i) performance bonuses to be granted at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee and (ii) to participate in the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The agreement contains customary employment terms and conditions.

 

In October 2022, the Company entered into a service agreement (“Service Agreement”) with an unrelated third-party for marketing and investor relations services. The Service Agreement, which has a term of one year, has various deliverables and provides payments to the third party as follows; a) an initial fee of $90,000, b) monthly fees through the term of $12,500, c) 200,000 shares of restricted common stock and d) $300,000 specifically related to digital marketing activities.

Overview

 

Since our inception in 2017, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the research and development of our safety syringe products. To date, we have generated no revenue. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $22,047,365. Our net loss was $6,739,999 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development efforts, payroll and consulting fees, stock compensation and general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including costs incurred for being a public company since April 14, 2022. See below, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated revenue or cash flow from operations since inception. As at September 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $3,347,912 which is not expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for the next 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to acquire or commercialize its products into a profitable business. The Company intends to finance its commercialization activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

We classify our operating expenses as research and development and general and administrative expenses. We maintain a corporate office located in Melville, New York, but employees and consultants in the US work remotely and will continue to do so indefinitely. In June 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire Safegard Medical (Safegard), a former syringe manufacturing facility in Hungary. Through the closing on July 6, 2022, we were contractually provided the exclusive use of the facility for research and development and testing in exchange for payment of the seller’s operating costs, including among others, use of Safegard’s work force, utility costs and other services.

 

22
 

 

In order to compete in the market, we must maintain inventory. Commencing in the 4th Quarter of 2022 we have started building inventory. We require commercial quantities of inventory to secure orders. Delivery is expected shortly after receiving orders.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities for our various syringe products. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:

 

Manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials;
   
Consulting fees paid to Technology consultant
   
Operating costs that were paid to Safegard, through the acquisition date for use of Safegard’s workforce, utilities and other services, relating to the facility being utilized; and
   
Third-party costs, including engineering, incurred for development and design.

 

Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our syringe products. We expect to continue to incur research and development expense for the foreseeable future as we continue to enhance our product to meet the market requirements for our Sharps syringe product line for its various intended uses throughout the world.

 

On September 29, 2022, Sharps Technology entered into an agreement (the “Nephron Agreement”) with InjectEZ, LLC (“InjectEZ”), Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“NPC”), Nephron SC, Inc. (“NSC”), and Nephron Sterile Compounding Center LLC (“Sterile”) (NPC, NSC, and Sterile are sometimes collectively referred to as “Nephron”), pursuant to which Sharps was to provide technical advice and assistance to support manufacturing by InjectEZ, purchase certain quantities of syringes as they may order or require, and collaborate with Nephron on certain related business endeavors. The Nephron Agreement is for a period of four (4) years, expiring on September 28, 2026 and continues thereafter for successive one (1) year periods. The Agreement includes provisions for collaborations in the areas of Manufacturing and Supply, a Pharma Services Program, and Distribution. NPC is a West Columbia, S.C.-based company that develops and produces safe, affordable generic inhalation solutions and suspension products. NPC also operates an industry-leading 503B Outsourcing Facility division, which produces pre-filled sterile syringes, luer-lock vials, IV bottles and IV bags for hospitals across America, in an effort to alleviate drug shortage needs. NPC launched a CLIA-certified diagnostics lab in 2020 where it tests people for COVID-19 and administers vaccinations.

 

23
 

 

The Nephron Agreement also allows for further expansion of manufacturing capabilities by Sharps Technology working with Nephron to support future industry and customer demand of pre-fillable systems as detailed in the Agreement. See “Recent Developments” below.

 

Additionally, Sharps entered into a Pharma Services Program (PSP) with Nephron that will create new business development growth opportunities for both companies. These opportunities will include the development and sale of next generation drug delivery systems that will be produced by Sharps and can be purchased by the healthcare industry, pharmaceutical markets, as well as by Nephron.

 

On December 8, 2022, Sharps entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Nephron Pharmaceuticals pursuant to which the Sharps Technology appointed Nephron as its exclusive distributor for the sale and distribution of the products subject to the Distribution Agreement in and throughout the United States. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the price of shipping products will be based on the cost of delivery to Nephron’s warehouse and the Company will pay for the cost of delivery to Nephron. The Distribution Agreement has a term of two years and will continue in effect unless either party notifies the other party of its desire to terminate. At any time and for any reason, either party can terminate the Distribution Agreement after thirty (30) days’ notice and in the event of a breach of any of the Distribution Agreement’s terms and provisions, either party can terminate the Distribution Agreement by providing 90 days written notice. The Company has the right to terminate the Distribution Agreement with 60 days written notice if certain conditions are met as set forth in the Distribution Agreement.

 

The Company’s collaboration will include the creation of a Pharma Services Program (PSP) designed to support Healthcare customers that need innovative solutions and products to support their business. This program will create new business development growth opportunities for both companies. We believe that these opportunities for the Company will include the development and sale of next generation drug delivery systems for Nephron products, the healthcare industry, and pharmaceutical markets. The development of the program will help create new fill/finish project opportunities that will utilize innovative packaging solutions developed by the Company. These new customer projects will help create a future pipeline of growth for both companies working together. Initial, and currently confidential, projects have been identified and will be further developed through the collaboration efforts of Nephron and the Company. The opportunity to create new innovative technologies to support Nephron and the healthcare industry would be transformative for the Company and its future.

 

The Company recently entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase the Inject EZ facility and a Purchase Agreement to supply Nephron with all of its required copolymer prefilled syringes which will significantly broaden our relationship with Nephron described above. See “Recent Developments”

 

We continue to be in discussions with healthcare companies and distributors for sales of our disposable syringe products. We intend to market these products to the US and foreign governments. In certain situations, we will also look to sell our disposable syringe products to hospitals and clinician offices as opportunities present themselves.

 

We expect that the Sharps Securegard product line will represent our initial disposable syringe platform to be commercially available to the market. The Securegard platform has an advanced set of features and benefits to support the needs of the market along with a high level of readiness for manufacturing and the ability to provide large commercial quantities for customers.

 

There have been delays in the commercialization of the Sharps Provensa product line. The Provensa product’s combination of specialized technology has created the need for further optimization related to the final assembly steps for the product. This was identified as we moved towards commercialization for the product line and the need to generate production quantities to support customer orders. This type of delay is typical with the development of new technology for the healthcare market to ensure the products are safe and effective for use every time. We are endeavoring to address all obstacles to advance the commercialization of the Provensa product line as soon as possible.

 

On September 29, 2022, Sharps Technology entered into an agreement (the “Nephron Agreement”) with InjectEZ, LLC (“InjectEZ”), Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“NPC”), Nephron SC, Inc.

Recent Developments

 

Nephron Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On September 22, 2023, Sharps entered into a series of agreements with Nephron and Nephron’s wholly owned subsidiary InjectEZ, LLC. Sharps entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to purchase certain equipment and leasehold improvements at Nephron’s facility (the “Facility”) in West Columbia, South Carolina. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for a cash purchase price of $40,378,594 and the issuance of a five (5) year subordinated promissory note (the “Nephron Note”) to Nephron in the principal amount of $10.0 million which bears interest at 8% per annum to be paid upon the closing (the “Closing”) of the transaction. The Nephron Note will be redeemable (25% per quarter) during the first year if Nephron’s syringe purchase orders result in revenue of at least $7,500,000 per quarter during the first year. The Company will also issue Nephron warrants to purchase 4% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Nephron Warrants”) exercisable for a five-year period at an exercise price of $1.56 per share. The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent on the Company obtaining the necessary funding to consummate the acquisition and to fund the costs of production.

 

In conjunction with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, on September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a ten-year Purchase Agreement with Nephron whereby Nephron agreed to utilize the Sharps as its exclusive pre-filled COC syringe manufacturer and to purchase a minimum aggregate of $450.0 million of syringes over the term of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains specific quantities of products required to be purchased from the Company during the term of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides that Nephron will make an initial purchase order of $32.0 million upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The effectiveness of the Purchase Agreement is subject to the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) Closing.

 

Equity Offerings

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company completed two simultaneous offerings and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.6 million, before expenses to the placement agent and other offering expenses of $716,000.

 

a.The first offering, the securities purchase agreement offering (the “Shelf Offering”) with institutional investors and the Company resulted in the Company receiving net proceeds from the Shelf Offering and the sale of Pre-Funded of approximately $2.5 million, includes the value of the pre-funded warrants recorded in APIC, net of $362,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering expenses. The Shelf Offering was priced at the market under Nasdaq rules. In connection with the Shelf Offering, the Company issued 3,618,521 shares of common at a purchase price of $0.64 per unit and 800,000 pre-funded warrants at $0.639 per pre-funded warrants. The exercise price of the pre-funded warrants will be $0.001 per share.

 

b.

The second offering, the securities purchase agreement offering (“Private Placement”) with institutional investors and the Company received net proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $2.4 million, net of $354,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering expense. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued: (i) 2,581,479 PIPE Shares (or PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) and (ii) PIPE Warrants (non-trading) to purchase 8,750,003 shares of our common stock, at a combined purchase price of $1.074 per unit (or $1.073 per pre-funded unit). The PIPE Warrants have a term of five and one-half (5.5) years from the issuance date and are exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.64. The net proceeds, after reflecting par value, has been recorded in Additional Paid in Capital of $1.6 million and with respect to the PIPE Warrants recorded as a liability under ASC 815 of $985,204. On October 16, 2023, the Company filed an S-1 (Resale) Registration Statement in connection with the Private Placement and on October 26, 2023 the S-1 went effective.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The FMV adjustments, based on the trading price of outstanding warrants classified as liabilities, could impact the operating results in the reporting periods.

Nature of Business

 

Nature of Business

 

Sharps Technology, Inc. (“Sharps” or the “Company”) is a pre-revenue medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes and is seeking commercialization by manufacturing and distribution of its products.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sharps Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Safegard Medical, Kft. and Sharps Technology Acquisition Corp, collectively referred to as the “Company.” All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

 

On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $14.2 million on April 19, 2022. (See Capital Structure and Note 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally leading to an economic downturn in certain industries and countries. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or ability to raise funds. Management continues to monitor the situation but has not experienced a significant disruption to its product development efforts.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions.

 

Inventories

 

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. A reserve is established for any excess or obsolete inventories or they may be written off. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory is comprised of raw materials, including packaging, work in process (components) and finished goods.

 

27
 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, require an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value.

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do no entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market date.

 

Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s fixed assets consist of land, building, machinery and equipment, molds, software and website. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method commencing on the date the asset is operating in the way intended by management over the following useful lives: Building – 20 years, Machinery and Equipment – 3 -10 years and Software & Website – 3 years. The expected life for Molds is based lesser of the number of parts that will be produced based on the expected mold capability or 5 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset.

 

28
 

 

Purchased Identified Intangible Assets

 

When applicable, the Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value.

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense

 

The Company measures its stock-based awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of the grant date. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur on a prospective basis.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees as consideration for services received is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

At their issuance date and as of September 30, 2023, certain warrants were accounted for as liabilities as these instruments did not meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40 based on the terms of the aforementioned warrants. The resulting warrant liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date until their exercise or expiration, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations . Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Basic EPS includes the 3,381,479 of pre-funded warrants (see note 8). Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2023, there were 22,815,155 stock options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are used in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits, tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred taxes and tax liabilities. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision in a subsequent period.

 

The provision for income taxes was composed of the Company’s current tax liability and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The calculation of the current tax liability involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and in determining the liability for tax positions, if any, taken on the Company’s tax returns in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the Company’s deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely on a more-likely-than-not basis, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. However, should there be a change in the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes would fluctuate in the period of such change.

 

Contingencies

 

Contingencies are evaluated and a liability is recorded when the matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. Gain contingencies are evaluated and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).

Research and Development

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $225,191 compared to $457,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of $232,436 was primarily due to a shift to both manufacturing and R&D activities as compared to R&D only in the 2022 period which amounted to $214,000. In addition, other R&D expenses decreases related to: (i) to engineering and consulting ($19,000), and (ii) stock compensation (22,000). These decreases were offset by depreciation increases related to equipment by $23,000.

 

General and Administrative

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $2,133,167 as compared to $1,339,448 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $793,719 was primarily attributable to: i) increases in payroll and consulting fees of $426,000 from $469,000 in 2022 to $895,000 in 2023, due to compensation increases and head count increases, ii) decrease in stock compensation expense, due to the timing of option awards and vesting, of approximately $63,000 from $264,000 in 2022 to $201,000 in 2023. iii) an increase in public company costs of $245,000 from $40,000 to $285,000 as 2023 costs primarily related to the current period offering costs. Further, we had increases in depreciation ($73,000), professional fees ($14,000), computer ($71,000) and other expenses ($135,000), Board costs ($17,000), patent and registration fees ($11,000), partially offset by decreases in marketing ($60,000), rent ($35,000), travel ($31,000), and insurance ($11,000)

 

Interest expense (income)

 

Interest income, was $17,620 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to interest income of $11,332 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest income was earned from cash balances held in interest bearing accounts that benefited from rate increases in 2023.

 

FMV Adjustment for Derivatives

 

The Warrants require the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) to be remeasured at each reporting date while outstanding with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $321,981 FMV gain to reflect adjustments required for outstanding Warrants liabilities. The Company had FMV loss adjustment of $635,283 at September 30, 2022. (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

Research and Development

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $783,340 compared to $1,520,870 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of $737,530 was primarily due to lower R&D costs of approximately $575,000 for Safegard operations. In the 2022 period, prior to the acquisition date in July 2022, the facility, had been used for development, production of current prototype samples and related testing. In late 2022, the Company commenced manufacturing of products for commercialization. We had further decreases in consulting, engineering and stock compensation expense ($135,000), lower material costs of ($54,000) and other expenses ($128,000)0. Partially offsetting the decreases was an increase in depreciation related to R&D equipment of $155,000.

 

General and Administrative

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $6,425,154 as compared to $4,401,158 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase of $2,023,996 was primarily attributable to increases in: i) payroll and consulting fees of $908,000 from $1,298,000 in 2022 to $2,206,000 in 2023, primarily due to increases in compensation and consulting fees incurred, and additional headcount increases. ii) increases in stock compensation expense due to new option awards and timing of award vesting, of approximately $35,000 from $803,000 in 2022 to $838,000 in 2023. Further, we had increases due, relating to a contract settlement during the second quarter of 2023 for $375,000, marketing ($41,000), professional fees ($88,000), insurance ($146,000), rent ($25,000), computer ($93,000), other operating costs ($375,000) primarily associated with Hungary Facility and depreciation ($229,000). These were partially offset by decreases from patent and registration fees ($33,000), board fees ($8,000), travel ($86,000) and public company related expenses ($164,000). In 2022, public company costs were primarily related to the IPO and in 2023 offering costs were lower due to lower equity raised.

 

Interest expense (income)

 

Interest income was $94,492 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to interest expense, net of interest income, of $1,344,612 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Interest expense decreased by $1,494,104 due to the financing, which originated in December 2021 and was repaid at the IPO closing with net proceeds. The interest was payable at an 8% face amount of $47,111 plus accreted interest of $1,299,985 on the $2,000,000 Note Payable.

 

FMV Adjustment for Derivatives

 

The Warrants require the FMV to be remeasured at each reporting date while recognition of the changes in fair value to income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $415,958 FMV gain to reflect the decrease in the Warrant liability. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $3,443,647 FMV gain to reflect the decrease in the Warrant liability. (See Note 7, 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a cash balance of $5,554,417 and $4,170,897, respectively. The Company had working capital of $3,347,912 and $2,416,928 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in our working capital was primarily due to net proceeds from the Offering in February 2023 and September 2023 offset by use of cash in operations and investing discussed below (See below and Note 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company completed two simultaneous offerings and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.6 million, before expenses to the placement agent and other offering expenses of $716,000.

 

  a. The first offering, the securities purchase agreement offering (the “Shelf Offering”) with institutional investors and the Company resulted in the Company receiving net proceeds from the Shelf Offering and the sale of pre-funded of approximately $2.5 million, includes the value of the pre-funded warrants recorded in APIC, net of $362,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering expenses. The Shelf Offering was priced at the market under Nasdaq rules. In connection with the Shelf Offering, the Company issued 3,618,521 shares of common at a purchase price of $0.64 per unit and 800,000 pre-funded warrants at $0.639 per pre-funded warrants. The exercise price of the pre-funded warrants will be $0.001 per share.

 

32
 

 

  b.

The second offering, the securities purchase agreement offering (“Private Placement”) with institutional investors and the Company received net proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $2.4 million, net of $354,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering expense. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued: (i) 2,581,479 PIPE Shares (or PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof) and (ii) PIPE Warrants (non-trading) to purchase 8,750,003 shares of our common stock, at a combined purchase price of $1.074 per unit (or $1.073 per pre-funded unit). The PIPE Warrants have a term of five and one-half (5.5) years from the issuance date and are exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.64. The net proceeds, after reflecting par value, has been recorded in Additional Paid in Capital of $1.6 million and with respect to the PIPE Warrants recorded as a liability under ASC 815 of $985,204. On October 16, 2023, the Company filed an S-1 (Resale) Registration Statement in connection with the Private Placement and on October 26, 2023 the S-1 went effective.

 

See Notes 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On February 3, 2023, we completed a securities purchase agreement (“Offering”) with institutional investors and received net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $3.2 million, net of $600,000 in fees relating to the placement agent and other offering expenses. The Offering was priced at the market under Nasdaq rules. In connection with the Offering, we issued 2,248,521 units at a purchase price of $1.69 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one non-tradable warrant (Offering Warrant) exercisable for one share of common stock at a price of $1.56 adjusted to $0.64 at September 29, 2023, based on anti-dilution terms in the warrants and a term of five years. The Offering Warrants have a term of five years from the issuance date. (See Notes 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

On April 13, 2022, we completed our IPO which was declared effective by the SEC, and the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or Nasdaq on April 14, 2022 and which closed on April 19, 2022. The net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $14.2 million of which $5,778,750 was attributed to the warrant liability (See Notes 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Cash Flows

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

The Company used cash of $6,144,937 and $4,391,020 in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash used of $1,753,917, was principally due to the Company incurring additional operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company used cash in investing activities of $431,379 and $2,945,259, respectively. In both periods cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for fixed assets equipment and software of $431,379 and $579,683 respectively. Further, in 2022 the Company used $2,350,000 related to escrow payments for the acquisition of Safegard.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $8,029,628 and $12,235,475, respectively. In the 2023 period, the cash provided from the Offerings completed in February 2023 and September 2023. In the 2022 period, the cash provided was primarily from the IPO net proceeds of $14,202,975, prior to the effect of recording the liability attributed to the warrants from the IPO, less the Notes repayment of $2,000,000.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

We are an “emerging-growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As an emerging growth company, we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.

 

33
 

 

We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common shares less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and the price of our common shares may be more volatile.

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of the IPO is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time, we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

34
 

 

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or would be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Recent Sale of Unregistered Equity Securities

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company completed two simultaneous offerings and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5.6 million, before expenses to the placement agent and other offering expenses of $716,000.

The Offering Warrants have a term of five years from the issuance date. (See Note 8 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

35
 

 

Use of Proceeds 

 

On April 13, 2022, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-263715) was declared effective by the SEC pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 3,750,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and two warrants, to purchase one share of common stock for each whole warrant, with an initial exercise price of $4.25 per share and a term of five years. In addition, we granted Aegis Capital Corp., as underwriter a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 15% of the number of shares included in the units sold in the offering, and/or additional warrants equal to 15% of the number of Warrants included in the units sold in the offering, in each case solely to cover over-allotments, which the Aegis Capital Corp. partially exercised with respect to 1,125,000 warrants on April 19, 2022. No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering from that described in the Prospectus.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

b)If Executive’s employment is terminated: by the Company without Cause; or by the Executive for Good Reason; or because of Executive’s “permanent and total disability,” the Company and Executive agree that the Company’s provision of Severance Benefits as described in Section 2.9 of this Agreement will support the enforcement of the covenant not to compete for the shorter of the Non-Compete Period or an amount proportionate to the period of time the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to enforce the covenant not to compete.

 

3.2 Covenant not to Solicit. Executive agrees that, during Executive’s employment, and until the one (1) year anniversary of Executive’s termination of employment (“Non-Solicit Period”), , Executive shall not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or employ any person, who is or was employed by the Company within one (1) year prior to Executive’s termination of employment, in any business in which the Executive has a material interest (meaning where Executive does, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such interest), as an officer, manager, partner, shareholder or beneficial owner. Further, during the Non-Solicit Period, Executive will not assist or encourage any employee of the Company to cease working for the Company.

 

3.3 Confidentiality and Nondisclosure. The Executive will not use or disclose to any individual or entity any Confidential Information (as defined below) except (i) in the performance of Executive’s duties for the Company, (ii) as authorized in writing by the Company, or (iii) as required by subpoena or court order, provided that, prior written notice of such required disclosure is provided to the Company and, provided further that all reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of such information shall be made.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

3.4 Non-Disparagement. The Executive will not at any time during his employment with the Company, or after the termination of his employment with the Company, directly or indirectly (i) disparage, libel, defame, ridicule or make negative comments regarding, or encourage or induce others to disparage, libel, defame, ridicule or make negative comments regarding, the Company, or any of the Company’s officers, directors, employees or agents, or the Company’s products, services, business plans or methods (it being understood that comments made in Executive’s good faith performance of Executive’s duties hereunder shall not be deemed disparaging or defamatory for purposes of this Agreement); or (ii) engage in any conduct or encourage or induce any other person to engage in any conduct that is in any way injurious or potentially injurious to the reputation or interests of the Company or any of the Company’s, officers, directors, employees or agents. The Company will instruct the members of the Board of Directors as well as the Company’s officers and anyone who is authorized to make any public statement on behalf of the Company, not to make, or direct any other person, entity or interest to make, any Disparaging Statement about Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Disparaging Statement” shall mean any communication that is intended to defame or disparage, or has the effect of defaming or disparaging.

 

3.5 Restrictions Reasonable.

Executive further acknowledges that he has been given access and shall continue to be given access to all of the Confidential Matters and trade secrets described above during the course of his employment, and therefore, the restrictions are reasonable and necessary to protect the competitive business interests and goodwill of the Company and do not cause Executive undue hardship.

 

3.6 Survival of Restrictive Covenants. Executive’s obligations under this Article III of the Agreement shall survive Executive’s termination of employment with the Company and the termination of this Agreement.

 

3.7 Equitable Relief. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its goodwill would be irreparably injured by, and that damages at law are an insufficient remedy for, a breach of the provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that the Company, in addition to other remedies available to it for such breach shall be entitled to seek a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining Executive from any actual breach of the provisions hereof, and that the Company’s rights to such equitable relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be entitled.

 

3.8 Nothing in this Agreement generally and in Section 3.3 specifically, will (or should be construed to): (i) interfere with Executive’s right and responsibility to give truthful testimony under oath; (ii) restrict Executive’s ability to communicate information regarding wages or terms and conditions of his employment with Sharps; (iii) prohibit Executive from disclosing the information contained in this Agreement to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or any state agency responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws; or (iv) preclude Executive from participating in an investigation, filing a charge, or otherwise communicating with the EEOC or any other fair employment agency, but, in connection with any such charge or proceeding, Executive will have no personal right to any monetary recovery of any kind. Consistent with Rule 21F-17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions in this Agreement or arising from this Agreement do not prohibit or restrict Executive (or his attorneys) from: initiating communications directly with, or responding to any inquiry from, or providing testimony before, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, NASD/FINRA, any other self-regulatory organization, any other state or federal regulatory authority or pursuant to court or administrative proceedings. In broadest terms, nothing herein is intended to impede any governmental investigation, Executive’s ability to report potential violations of the federal and state securities laws or Executive’s participation in any whistleblower rewards program.

ARTICLE 4

MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Company and the Executive with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

4.2 Prior Agreement. This Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior oral or written employment or severance agreement between the Executive and the Company.

 

4.3 Subsidiaries. Where appropriate in this Agreement, including all of Article 2, the term “Company” shall also include any direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company.

 

4.4 D&O Insurance; Indemnification. In addition to any indemnification rights that Executive may have under the Company’s bylaws, while employed by the Company and continuing until the later of the sixth anniversary of the termination of Executive’s employment and the date on which all claims against Executive that would otherwise be covered by such policy (or policies) become fully time-barred, the Company shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage to Executive on terms that are no less favorable than the coverage provided to directors and senior executives of the Company. The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each, a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, in each case, whether on, prior to, or following the Effective Date, Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by applicable law and the Company’s bylaws, against all cost, expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company may promptly advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Executive in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding provided that Executive furnishes the Company with a written undertaking, executed personally or on Executive’s behalf, to repay any advances if it is ultimately determined that Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

4.5 Compliance with Code Section 409A.

 

a)General. It is the intention of both the Company and Executive that the benefits and rights to which Executive could be entitled pursuant to this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and its implementing regulations and guidance (“Section 409A”), to the extent that the requirements of Section 409A are applicable thereto, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with that intention.
   
b)Distributions on Account of Separation from Service.

c)Six Month Delay for Specified Employees. In the event that the Executive is a “specified employee” (as described in Section 409A), and any payment or benefit payable pursuant to this Agreement constitutes deferred compensation subject to the six-month delay requirement described in Section 409A(2)(b), then no such payment or benefit shall be made before six months after the Executive’s “separation from service” (as described in Section 409A) (or, if earlier, the date of the Executive’s death). Any payment or benefit delayed by reason of the prior sentence shall be paid out or provided in a single lump sum at the end of such required delay period in order to catch up to the original payment schedule.
   
d)Treatment of Each Installment as a Separate Payment. For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A to this Agreement, each separately identified amount to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. In addition, to the extent permissible under Section 409A, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

 

4.6 Severability. It is mutually agreed and understood by the Parties that should any of the restrictions and covenants contained in Article 3 be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid by virtue of being vague, overly broad, unreasonable as to time, territory or otherwise, then the Agreement shall be amended retroactive to the date of its execution to include the terms and conditions which such court deems to be reasonable and in conformity with the original intent of the parties and the parties hereto consent that under such circumstances, such court shall have the power and authority to determine what is reasonable and in conformity with the original intent of the parties to the extent that such restrictions and covenants are enforceable. In the event any other provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

The Company and the Executive shall pay all costs peculiar to the arbitration (and/or mediation, if applicable), including arbitrator’s fees, and the administration, forum and filing fees equally.. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with and subject to, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state or torts without regard to its conflicts of law rules.

FORM OF RELEASE

 

GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS

 

1. Robert Hayes (“Executive”), for himself and his family, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and their respective successors and assigns, in exchange for the Severance Benefits, as defined under the Executive Employment Agreement made and entered effective as of the 10th of November 2023, by and between Sharps Technology, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the “Company”) and Robert Hayes (the “Executive”), to which this release is attached as Exhibit B (the “Employment Agreement”), does hereby release and forever discharge the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliated companies, successors and assigns, and its current or former directors, officers or shareholders in such capacities (collectively with the Company, the “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, controversies, claims and demands whatsoever, for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, whether known or unknown including, but not limited to, all claims under any applicable laws arising under or in connection with Executive’s employment or termination thereof, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, wrongful discharge, intentional infliction of emotional distress, or defamation or injuries incurred on the job or incurred as a result of loss of employment. Executive acknowledges that the Company encouraged him to consult with an attorney of his choosing, and through this General Release of Claims encourages him to consult with his attorney with respect to possible claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and that he understands that the ADEA is a Federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefits and benefit plans. Without limiting the generality of the release provided above, Executive expressly waives any and all claims under ADEA that he may have as of the date hereof. Executive further understands that by signing this General Release of Claims he is in fact waiving, releasing and forever giving up any claim under the ADEA as well as all other laws within the scope of this paragraph 1 that may have existed on or prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 1 to the contrary, this General Release of Claims shall not apply to (i) any rights to receive any payments or benefits to which Executive is entitled under COBRA, the Employment agreement or any other compensation or employee benefit plans in which Executive is eligible to participate at the time of execution of this General Release of Claims, (ii) any rights or claims that may arise as a result of events occurring after the date this General Release of Claims is executed, any indemnification and advancement rights Executive may have as a former employee, officer or director of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies including, without limitation, any rights arising pursuant to the articles of incorporation, bylaws and any other organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any claims for benefits under any directors’ and officers’ liability policy maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies in accordance with the terms of such policy, and (iv) any rights as a holder of equity securities of the Company (clauses (i) through (iv), the “Reserved Claims”).

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

2. Executive represents that he has not filed against the Released Parties any complaints, charges, or lawsuits arising out of his employment, or any other matter arising on or prior to the date of this General Release of Claims other than Reserved Claims, and covenants and agrees that he will never individually or with any person file, or commence the filing of any lawsuits, complaints or proceedings with any governmental agency, or against the Released Parties with respect to any of the matters released by Executive pursuant to paragraph 1 hereof (a “Proceeding”); provided, however, Executive shall not have relinquished his right to (i) commence a Proceeding to challenge whether Executive knowingly and voluntarily waived his rights under ADEA; (ii) file a charge with an administrative agency or take part in any agency investigation or (iii) commence a Proceeding pursuant to the Reserved Claims. Executive does agree, however, that he is waiving his right to recover any money in connection with such an investigation or charge filed by him or by any other individual, or a charge filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other federal, state or local agency, except as prohibited by law.

 

3. Executive hereby acknowledges that the Company has informed him that he has up to twenty-one (21) days to sign this General Release of Claims and he may knowingly and voluntarily waive that twenty-one (21) day period by signing this General Release of Claims earlier. Executive also understands that he shall have seven (7) days following the date on which he signs this General Release of Claims within which to revoke it by providing a written notice of his revocation to the Company.

 

4. Executive acknowledges that this General Release of Claims will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the laws of Nevada, without giving effect to any choice of law principles.

 

5. Executive acknowledges that he has read this General Release of Claims, that he has been advised that he should consult with an attorney before he executes this general release of claims, and that he understands all of its terms and executes it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance and the consequences thereof.

 

6. This General Release of Claims shall take effect on the eighth day following Executive’s execution of this General Release of Claims unless Executive’s written revocation is delivered to the Company within seven (7) days after such execution.

Nature of Business and Going Concern

 

Sharps Technology, Inc. (“Sharps” or the “Company”) is a pre-revenue medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes and is seeking commercialization by manufacturing and distribution of its products.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sharps Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Safegard Medical, Kft. and Sharps Technology Acquisition Corp. collectively referred to as the “Company.” The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss and statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (the “interim statements”) are unaudited. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and operating results for the interim periods have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosure, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, have been condensed or omitted. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not generated revenue or cash flow from operations since inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital of $3,347,912 which is not expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for the next 12 months. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise sufficient financing to acquire or commercialize its products into a profitable business. The Company intends to finance its commercialization activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

 

On April 13, 2022, the Company’s Initial Public Offering was deemed effective with trading commencing on April 14, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $14.2 million on April 19, 2022 (See Note 8).

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

 

SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED September 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2023, the most significant estimates relate to derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions.

 

Inventories

 

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. A reserve is established for any excess or obsolete inventories or they may be written off. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory is comprised of raw materials, including packaging, work in process (components) and finished goods.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value.

 

The Company’s outstanding warrants are fair valued on a recurring basis with the trading price which could cause fluctuations in operating results at the reporting periods.

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s fixed assets consist of land, building, machinery and equipment, molds and website. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method commencing on the date the asset is operating in the way intended by management over the following useful lives: Building – 20 years, Machinery and Equipment – 3 -10 years and Website and Computer Systems – 3 years. The expected life for Molds is based on the lesser of the number of parts that will be produced based on the expected mold capability or 5 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset.

 

There were no impairment losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Purchased Identified Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense

 

The Company measures its stock-based awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of the grant date. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur on a prospective basis.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees as consideration for services received is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

At their issuance date and as of September 30, 2023, the warrants (see Notes 8 and 10) were accounted for as liabilities as these instruments did not meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40 based on the terms of the aforementioned warrants. The resulting warrant liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date until their exercise or expiration, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions

 

The Company has determined that the functional currency for its foreign subsidiary is the local currency. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at current exchange rates and profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in other than the functional currency are recorded as foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the Company’s consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments related to its subsidiary. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax effected as the Company has a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is a separate component of stockholders’ equity and consists of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Basic EPS includes the 3,381,479 of pre-funded warrants (see Note 8). Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2023, there were 22,815,155 stock options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expenses for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are used in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits, tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred taxes and tax liabilities. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision in a subsequent period.

 

The provision for income taxes was comprised of the Company’s current tax liability and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The calculation of the current tax liability involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and in determining the liability for tax positions, if any, taken on the Company’s tax returns in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the Company’s deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely on a more-likely-than-not basis, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. However, should there be a change in the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes would fluctuate in the period of such change.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

 

Contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are evaluated and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASC Topic 848 provides relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. ASC Topic 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt arrangements, contracts, hedging relationships, and other areas or transactions that are impacted by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective upon issuance for all entities and elections of certain optional expedients are required to apply the provisions of the guidance.

 

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments, requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about “the terms and features of convertible instruments” and how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per Share, on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. The ASU’s amendments are effective for smaller public business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company continues to assess all potential impact of the standard and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections that the Company makes.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”, intended to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendment also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. ASU No. 2022-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the adoption of the amendments and the potential impact it may have, if any, on its financial statements.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations.

Safegard Medical, Kft

 

In June 2020, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Safegard Medical, Kft (“Safegard”) and amendments to the Agreement, collectively, the Agreements, to purchase either the stock or certain assets of a manufacturing facility for $2.5M in cash, plus additional consideration of 28,571 shares of common stock with an estimated fair market value of $7.00, 35,714 stock options with an exercise price of $7.00 and 50,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.25. The purchase price includes the fair market value of the common stock of $200,000 and the vested options of $183,135. The Agreements provided the Company various periods for due diligence and post due diligence, requirements for escrow payments through the closing date (“Closing Date”).

 

Through the Closing Date, the Agreements provided the Company with the exclusive use of the facility in exchange for payment of the facility’s operating costs. The monthly fee (“Operating Costs”), which primarily covered the facility’s operating costs, was mainly comprised of the seller’s workforce costs, materials and other recurring monthly operating cost.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had remitted $0 and $575,000, respectively for the forementioned Operating Costs. The remittance of operating costs was discontinued after the Closing Date. These costs were included in research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as the activities at the facility in 2022 were related to design and testing of the Company’s products.

 

The acquisition of Safegard, which closed on July 6, 2022, did not meet the definition of a business pursuant to ASC 805-10, and accordingly was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50. The cost of the acquisition was $2,936,712, including transaction costs of $53,576, with the allocation to the assets acquired on a relative fair value basis. The intangibles relate to permits and a limited workforce acquired. Under ASC 805-50, no goodwill is recognized. The operating results for Safegard are included in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the period beginning after the closing on July 6, 2022.

Nephron Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On September 22, 2023, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Nephron and Nephron’s wholly owned subsidiary, InjectEZ, LLC, including, an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) to purchase certain equipment and leasehold improvements at Nephron’s facility (the “Facility”) in West Columbia, South Carolina. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for a cash purchase price of $40,378,594 and the issuance of a five (5) year subordinated promissory note (the “Nephron Note”) to Nephron in the principal amount of $10.0 million which bears interest at 8% per annum to be paid upon the closing (the “Closing”) of the transaction. The Nephron Note will be redeemable (25% per quarter) during the first year if Nephron’s syringe purchase orders result in revenue of at least $7,500,000 per quarter during the first year. The Company will also issue Nephron warrants to purchase 4% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Nephron Warrants”) exercisable for a five-year period at an exercise price of $1.56 per share. The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent on the Company obtaining the necessary funding to consummate the acquisition and to fund the costs of production.

 

In conjunction with the execution of the above Asset Purchase Agreement, on September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a ten-year Purchase Agreement with Nephron whereby Nephron agreed to utilize the Sharps as its exclusive pre-filled COC syringe manufacturer and to purchase a minimum aggregate of $450.0 million of syringes over the term of the Purchase Agreement.

Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement

 

On December 14, 2021, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“NPA”) with three unrelated third-party purchasers (“Purchasers”). The Purchasers provided financing to the Company in the form of bridge financing, aggregating principal of $2,000,000 (the “Notes”). The principal under the Notes shall be payable on the earlier of (i) December 14, 2022, and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”), herein referred to as the “Maturity Date”. The Notes bore interest at 8% with interest payments due monthly. The Company and the Purchasers had entered into a Security Agreement whereby the Notes were collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company, both tangible and intangible both currently owned with stated exclusions, as defined, and any future acquired with stated exclusions, as defined.

 

The NPA provided for covenants that until all of the Notes have been converted, exchanged, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit any of its subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Purchasers: a) incur or guarantee any new debt, b) issue any securities that would cause a breach or default under the NPA, c) incur any liens other than permitted, d) redeem or repurchase shares, e) declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution, e) sell, lease or dispose of assets other than in the ordinary course of business, or f) engage in different line of business.

Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement (continued)

 

As additional consideration to the Purchasers for providing the financing, the Company also agreed to a) issue each Purchaser a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the original principal amount of each Purchaser’s Note (the “Contingent Stock”) and b) issue each Purchaser a number of warrants, which would allow the Purchasers to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, equal to 50% of the original principal amount each Purchaser’s Note for a term of 5.0 years (the “Contingent Warrants”).

 

For both the Contingent Stock and the Contingent Warrants, the number of shares and warrants that each Purchaser will be issued was unknown at the time of the NPA and was determined based on a formula of 50% of the original principal amount divided by a “Subsequent Offering Price” based on the valuation in a future offering of Common stock or other equity interest in the Company (such offering referred to as a “Consummated Offering”) during the period beginning on December 14, 2021 through and including the date the Company consummates an initial public offering (“IPO”) (such period referred to as the “Subsequent Offering Period”).

 

In accordance with ASC 480-10-25-14, a fixed monetary amount exists at inception for the total value of Contingent Stock that may be issued to each Purchaser. The Contingent Stock is not considered outstanding at inception, as it will only be issued upon the consummation of a Consummated Offering, and accordingly, is a conditional obligation. As such the fair market value (“FMV”) of the Contingent Stock at inception was $677,000, which was recorded as debt discount. Similarly, a fixed monetary amount further exists at inception for the total value of Contingent Warrants that may be issued to each Purchaser. Accordingly, a conditional obligation exists and as such the FMV of Contingent Warrants at inception was $585,000, which was recorded as debt discount. The Company incurred $197,500 of debt issuance costs associated with the NPA. The debt issuance costs were allocated between the Notes, Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants in a manner that was consistent with the allocation of the proceeds of the Notes. The portion of the debt issuance costs which were allocated to the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants, which was $124,460, was expensed during the year ended December 31, 2021. The debt issuance costs allocated to the Notes were recorded as a debt discount.

 

The Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liabilities were measured at FMV on the date of issuance (based on the Black-Scholes valuation model).

 

At inception, the Notes were recorded at the net amount of approximately $665,000, after adjusting for debt discounts of approximately $1,335,000 relating to the debt issuance costs, Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants. Management calculates the effective interest rate (“EIR”) to consider the potential repayment at redemption date by reference to the face value amount after taking into account the stated 8% interest rate. In 2022, through for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $39,111 and accreted interest of $206,417 The Company repaid the $2,000,000 in Notes with proceeds from the IPO that closed on April 19, 2022.

 

The value of the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants was required to be re-measured at FMV at each reporting date, using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or other valuation method, if deemed more appropriate, with recognition of the changes in fair value to other income or expense in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with ASC 480, Debt and Equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $287,000 fair market (FMV) charge to reflect the increase in the Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrants. On April 19, 2022, the Company issued 235,295 shares of Common Stock to settle the Contingent Stock liability, re-measured the liability at its estimated FMV based on the stock’s trading price and reclassified $496,000 to Common Stock Par Value and Additional Paid in Capital.

Note 12. Income Taxes

 

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates its effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision or benefit on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. Accordingly, the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2023 was 0%, compared to the effective tax rate of 0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rates for both periods were affected primarily by a full valuation allowance on domestic net deferred tax assets.

Royalty Agreement

 

In connection with the purchase of certain intellectual property in July 2017, Barry Berler and Alan Blackman entered into a royalty agreement which provides that Barry Berler will be entitled to a royalty of four percent (4%) of net sales derived from the use, sale, lease, rent and export of products related to the intellectual property. The royalty continues until the patent expires or is no longer used in the Company’s product. The royalty agreement was assumed by the Company in December 2017.

 

In September 2018, the Royalty Agreement was amended to reduce the royalty to 2% and further provided for a single payment of $500,000 to Barry Berler within three years in return for cancellation of all further royalty obligations of the Company. In May 2019, the Royalty Agreement was further amended to change the payment date to on or before May 31, 2021 or during the term of the amended Royalty Agreement should the Company be acquired or a controlling interest be acquired. The Company has not made the aforementioned payment or incur any change in control as such the 2% royalty remains in place.

Employment Agreements and Other

 

On August 1, 2022, the Company cancelled the consulting agreement with Alan Blackman, Co- Chairman and Chief Operating Officer and entered into an Employment Agreement which provides for annual salary of $256,000, which provides for increases, and provisions compensation adjustments, expense and tax differential reimbursements, benefits and bonuses. As of September 1, 2022, the annual salary is $320,000. At June 30, 2022, the Company approved and accrued a $250,000 bonus to Mr. Blackman for services provided in 2022, of which $65,000 was paid subsequent to December 31, 2022. The Company terminated Mr. Blackman’s Employment Agreement effective May 1, 2023. Mr. Blackman continued to serve as the Co-Chairman and a member of the Board of Directors. The parties were having preliminary settlement discussions. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company and Mr. Blackman entered into a separation agreement whereby, Mr. Blackman will be paid severance payments of approximately $346,000, which was recorded as an expense and an accrued expense as of June 30, 2023, over thirteen months, continue his medical benefits for such period with a cost of approximately $29,000 which has been accrued at June 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance due Mr. Blackman is $298,000. Further, all unvested options were fully vested. In connection with the separation agreement, Mr. Blackman no longer serves as Co-Chairman or Board member and has agreed to vote his Series A Preferred Stock in favor of the election, reelection, and/or designation of each individual nominated to serve as a director on the Board of Director as shall be identified in an applicable proxy statement filed by the Company for such election of directors. Once the payments due Mr. Blackman are fully paid, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed immediately cancelled and forfeited and without further consideration. The Series A Preferred shall at such time be returned to the status of an authorized but unissued share of preferred stock of the Company.

 

On September 30, 2022, the Company entered into a formal employment agreement, effective on such date and will continue until terminated by either party, subject to the terms of the agreement, with Andrew R. Crescenzo who has been serving as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on a contract services basis for the last three years. The agreement provided for annual compensation of $225,000 and plus a one-time $18,750 incentive payment upon the commencement of the agreement. During the course of the term, Mr. Crescenzo will be eligible for (i) performance bonuses to be granted at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee and (ii) to participate in the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The agreement contains customary employment terms and conditions.

 

In October 2022, the Company entered into a service agreement (“Service Agreement”) with an unrelated third-party for marketing and investor relations services. The Service Agreement, which has a term of one year, has various deliverables and provides payments to the third party as follows; a) an initial fee of $90,000, b) monthly fees through the term of $12,500, c) 200,000 shares of restricted common stock and d) $300,000 specifically related to digital marketing activities. As stated in Note 8, the 200,000 shares of restricted common stock were valued at $230,000, representative of the trading price on the issuance.

 

On February 09, 2023, the Company, appointed Justin Page, as Vice President of Technical Operations with a start date of February 15, 2023. The agreement provides for annual compensation of $235,000 and options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at the exercise price of $1.30, the closing price on the grant date.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

 

SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED September 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2023, the most significant estimates relate to derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions.

 

Inventories

Inventories

 

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. A reserve is established for any excess or obsolete inventories or they may be written off. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory is comprised of raw materials, including packaging, work in process (components) and finished goods.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value.

 

The Company’s outstanding warrants are fair valued on a recurring basis with the trading price which could cause fluctuations in operating results at the reporting periods.

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applied to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

 

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company’s fixed assets consist of land, building, machinery and equipment, molds and website. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method commencing on the date the asset is operating in the way intended by management over the following useful lives: Building – 20 years, Machinery and Equipment – 3 -10 years and Website and Computer Systems – 3 years. The expected life for Molds is based on the lesser of the number of parts that will be produced based on the expected mold capability or 5 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset.

 

There were no impairment losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Purchased Identified Intangible Assets

 

The Company’s identified intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their estimated fair value.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based Compensation Expense

 

The Company measures its stock-based awards made to employees based on the estimated fair values of the awards as of the grant date. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period and is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur on a prospective basis.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees as consideration for services received is measured on the date of performance at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured.

 

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for common stock warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 480”), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require net cash settlement in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

At their issuance date and as of September 30, 2023, the warrants (see Notes 8 and 10) were accounted for as liabilities as these instruments did not meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815-40 based on the terms of the aforementioned warrants. The resulting warrant liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date until their exercise or expiration, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions

Foreign Currency Translation/Transactions

 

The Company has determined that the functional currency for its foreign subsidiary is the local currency. For financial reporting purposes, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at current exchange rates and profit and loss accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in other than the functional currency are recorded as foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the Company’s consolidated net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments related to its subsidiary. Foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss were not tax effected as the Company has a full valuation allowance at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is a separate component of stockholders’ equity and consists of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Basic EPS includes the 3,381,479 of pre-funded warrants (see Note 8). Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2023, there were 22,815,155 stock options and warrants that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expenses for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments are used in the calculation of tax credits, tax benefits, tax deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred taxes and tax liabilities. Significant changes to these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the Company’s tax provision in a subsequent period.

 

The provision for income taxes was comprised of the Company’s current tax liability and changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The calculation of the current tax liability involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations and in determining the liability for tax positions, if any, taken on the Company’s tax returns in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company must assess the likelihood that it will be able to recover the Company’s deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely on a more-likely-than-not basis, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable. However, should there be a change in the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the provision for income taxes would fluctuate in the period of such change.

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. Such amounts are recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

 

Contingencies

Contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are evaluated and not recognized until the gain is realizable or realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform. ASC Topic 848 provides relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference rate reform. ASC Topic 848 contains optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt arrangements, contracts, hedging relationships, and other areas or transactions that are impacted by reference rate reform. This guidance is effective upon issuance for all entities and elections of certain optional expedients are required to apply the provisions of the guidance.

 

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments, requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about “the terms and features of convertible instruments” and how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC 260, Earnings per Share, on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. The ASU’s amendments are effective for smaller public business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company continues to assess all potential impact of the standard and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections that the Company makes.

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”, intended to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendment also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. ASU No. 2022-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the adoption of the amendments and the potential impact it may have, if any, on its financial statements.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and have concluded they are not applicable or not expected to be significant to the accounting for our operations.
