CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of our company; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express our expectations, hopes, beliefs and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. We cannot guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting our company will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below in the section entitled “Risk Factors”. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights material information contained in this Offering Circular. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before purchasing our common stock. Before making an investment decision, you should read this Offering Circular carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Sharps Technology, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein as “Sharps,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

Company Overview

 

Sharps Technology, Inc. is a medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes which we are seeking to commercialize and other syringe products currently marketable.

 

Our safety syringes products, which we refer to as the Sharps Provensa™ and Securgard, are ultra-low waste and have safety features, which we believe will provide us a competitive advantage over other syringes. Sharps Provensa is a patented and FDA-cleared safety syringe addressing the important needs of the global healthcare market. We received FDA clearance for the Sharps Provensa on June 12, 2006, for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections into the human body.

 

Reincorporation and Reverse Split

 

Prior to March 22, 2022, we were a Wyoming corporation and on March 22, 2022, we reincorporated (the “Reincorporation”) as a Nevada corporation (“Sharps Nevada”) pursuant to a merger into a newly formed Nevada corporation which was approved by our board of directors and the holders of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Corporate Information

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on December 16, 2017. On March 22, 2022, we reincorporated as a Nevada corporation. Our principal business address is 105 Maxess Road, Melville, New York 11747. We maintain our corporate website at sharpstechnology.com. The reference to our website is an inactive textual reference only. We make available free of charge on or through our website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with or otherwise furnish it to the SEC. Information on or accessed through our website or the SEC’s website is not incorporated into this Offering Circular.

 

Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company”

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements and are relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging growth company:

 

  we may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
     
  we are exempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on whether we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
     
  we are permitted to provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and
     
  we are not required to give our stockholders non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

 

We may take advantage of these provisions until December 31, 2027 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering) if we continue to be an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, have more than $700 million in market value of our shares held by non-affiliates or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have elected to provide two years of audited financial statements. Additionally, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Offered Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing any of the Offered Shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

 

Risks Related to Our Technology, Business, and Industry

 

We are an early-stage company with a history of losses.

 

We incurred net losses of $9,841,638 and $4,639,662 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $982,386 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We have not generated any revenue to date, and we had accumulated deficit of $26,131,390 as of March 31, 2024. We have developed our Sharps Provensa product line but there can be no assurance that it will be commercially successful. Our potential profitability is dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the value of our business and common stock may significantly decrease.

 

We have a limited operating history and we may not succeed.

 

We have a limited operating history, and we may not succeed. We have commercialized our Securgard syringe products in mid 2023 yet no revenues have occurred and have not yet commercialized our Sharps Provensa products. You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses, problems, and technical difficulties may occur and they may result in material challenges to our business. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operation. We may never generate significant revenues or achieve profitability.

 

We may not succeed in commercializing Sharps products or any future product.

 

We may face difficulties or delays in the commercialization of Sharps products, which could result in our inability to timely offer products or services that satisfy the market. We may, for example, encounter difficulties due to:

 

our inability to adequately market our products;
our inability to effectively scale manufacturing as needed to maintain an adequate commercial supply of our products;
our inability to attract and retain skilled support team, marketing staff and sales force necessary to increase the market for our products and to maintain market acceptance for our products; and
the difficulty of establishing brand recognition and loyalty for our products.

 

In addition, to increase our production capacity, we will need to build inventory, which will require that we purchase certain additional equipment, including molding machines and molds. We have not received any significant orders to date. Even if we succeed in building inventory, and increasing our production capacity, there is no assurance we will receive additional orders for our Sharps = products or any future products.

 

7

 

We may encounter significant competition and may not be able to successfully compete.

 

There are many medical device companies offering safety syringes, and more competitors are likely to arrive. Some of our competitors have considerably more financial resources than us. As a result, we may not be able to successfully compete in our market, which could result in our failure to successfully commercialize Sharps Provensa, or otherwise fail to successfully compete. We anticipate that our major domestic competitors will include Retractable Technologies, Inc., Becton, Dickinson & Company, Medtronic Minimally Invasive Therapies, Terumo Medical Corp., Smiths Medical, and B Braun. There can be no assurances that we will be able to compete successfully in this environment.

 

We are vulnerable to new technologies.

 

Because we have a narrow focus on particular product lines and technology (currently, safety needle products), we are vulnerable to the development of superior or similar competing products and to changes in technology which could eliminate or reduce the need for our products. If a superior or similar technology is created, the demand for our products could be adversely affected.

 

We are subject to product liability risk.

 

As a manufacturer and provider of safety needle products, we will face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims. Additionally, our success will depend on the quality, reliability, and safety of our products and defects in our products could damage our reputation. If a product liability claim is made and damages are in excess of our product liability coverage (which is currently $5 million, and which we may increase as we commence and increase sales of our products), our competitive position could be weakened by the amount of money we could be required to pay to compensate those injured by our products. In the event of a recall, we have recall insurance.

 

Our business may be affected by changes in the health care regulatory environment.

 

In the U.S. and internationally, government authorities may enact changes in regulatory requirements, reform existing reimbursement programs, and/or make changes to patient access to health care, all of which could adversely affect the demand for our products and/or put downward pressure on our prices. Future healthcare rulemaking could affect our business. We cannot predict the timing or impact of any future rulemaking or changes in the law.

 

The approval process for medical device products outside the United States varies among countries and may limit our ability to develop, manufacture and sell our products internationally. Failure to obtain marketing and regulatory approval in international jurisdictions would prevent our products from being marketed abroad.

 

In order to market and sell our Provensa product line and any additional medical device products we may develop in the future in the European Union and many other jurisdictions, we, and our collaborators, must obtain separate marketing approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. We have not yet received approval or clearance to sell our products in any jurisdiction outside the United States. The approval procedure varies among countries and may involve additional testing. We may conduct clinical trials for, and seek regulatory approval to market, our product candidates in countries other than the United States. If we or our collaborators seek marketing approval for a product candidate outside the United States, we will be subject to the regulatory requirements of health authorities in each country in which we seek approval. With respect to marketing authorizations in Europe, we will be required to submit a European Marketing Authorisation Application, or MAA, to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, which conducts a validation and scientific approval process in evaluating a product for safety and efficacy. The approval procedure varies among regions and countries and may involve additional testing, and the time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval or clearance. In addition, marketing approval or clearance by the FDA does not ensure approval or clearance by the health authorities of any other country.

 

8

 

Ongoing regulation of our products may limit how we market our products, which could materially impair our ability to generate revenue.

 

Approval or clearance of a medical device product may carry conditions that limit the market for the product or put the product at a competitive disadvantage relative to alternative products. For instance, a regulatory approval or clearance may limit the indicated uses for which we can market a product or the patient population that may utilize the product. These restrictions could make it more difficult to market any product effectively. Accordingly we expect to continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance.

 

We are dependent on our management, without whose services our business operations could cease.

 

At this time, our management is wholly responsible for the development and execution of our business plan. If our management should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel, our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find qualified management who could develop our business along the lines described herein or who would be willing to work for compensation the Company could afford. Without such management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

 

We may not be able to raise capital as needed to develop our products or maintain our operations.

 

We expect that we will need to raise additional funds to execute our business plan and expand our operations. Additional financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, the Company’s business and prospects may be materially adversely affected.

 

Health care crises could have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Particularly during 2020, several states and local jurisdictions imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Although the manufacturing facility we operate has continued to operate during the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic due to its status as an essential business, we continue to monitor the evolving situation and cannot guarantee that the situation would be the same for any future pandemic. In the future, we may elect or be required to close temporarily which would result in a disruption in our activities and operations. Our supply chain, including transportation channels, may be impacted by any such restrictions as well. Any such disruption could impact our sales and operating results.

 

Widespread health crises also negatively affect economies which could affect demand for our products. While we plan to market our Sharps smart safety syringe products for use for injecting medicines as well as Covid-19 and other vaccines, in the event of a resurgence of COVID-19 or in the case of any future pandemic, there is no guarantee that revenues from syringes needed for vaccines would offset the effects to our business in a global economic decline

 

Health systems and other healthcare providers in our markets that provide procedures that may use our products have suffered financially and operationally and may not be able to return to pre-pandemic levels of operations. Travel and import restrictions may also disrupt our ability to manufacture or distribute our devices. Any import or export or other cargo restrictions related to our products or the raw materials used to manufacture our products could restrict our ability to manufacture and ship products and harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our key personnel and other employees could still be affected by COVID-19 or any future pandemic, which could affect our ability to operate efficiently.

 

9

 

Our business may be adversely affected by uncertainties in obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights.

 

We believe our main competitive strength is our technology, including patent protection and trade secrets relating to the manufacture and design of our products. We are dependent on patent rights to prevent unlawful copying of our products, and if the patent rights are invalidated or circumvented, our business would be adversely affected. We consider patent protection to be of material importance in the design, development, and marketing of our products.

 

Our patent pending applications may not issue as patents, which may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prevent others from commercially exploiting products similar to ours.

 

We have four issued patents, two pending patent applications in the United States, and four PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) patent application. We cannot be certain that we are the first inventor of the subject matter to which we have filed a particular patent application, or if we are the first party to file such a patent application. If another party has filed a patent application to the same subject matter as we have, we may not be entitled to the protection sought by the patent application. Further, the scope of protection of issued patent claims is often difficult to determine. As a result, we cannot be certain that the patent applications that we file will issue, or that our issued patents will be broad enough to protect our proprietary rights or otherwise afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, the issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, scope, validity or enforceability. Our competitors may challenge or seek to invalidate our issued patents, or design around our issued patents, which may adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results. Also, the costs associated with enforcing patents, confidentiality and invention agreements, or other intellectual property rights may make aggressive enforcement impracticable.

 

Illegal distribution and sale by third parties of counterfeit versions of our products could have a negative impact on us.

 

Third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of our products which do not meet our rigorous manufacturing and testing standards. Our reputation and business could suffer harm as a result.

 

Risks Related to This Offering and Our Securities

 

Our common stock could be subject to extreme volatility.

 

The trading price of our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, including events described in the risk factors set forth in this offering circular, as well as our operating results, financial condition and other events or factors. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock and wide bid-ask spreads. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the securities market has, from time to time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

We have never paid common stock dividends and have no plans to pay dividends in the future, as a result our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

 

Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operations of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our common stock will be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

 

10

 

Our shares will be subject to potential delisting if we do not maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The shares of our common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq. Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing, or de-listing from Nasdaq, would make it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

 

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we may face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us. Specifically, as disclosed in a Current Report filed on Form 8-K on July 16, 2023, the Company had received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) because it failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days dated May 26, 2023 to July 11, 2023. The Rules provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

 

On January 16, 2024, the Staff determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until July 8, 2024, to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, the Staff will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting. The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will consider its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance period. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement

 

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

 

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, which we expect to further increase after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel will devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the specific timing of such costs.

 

As a result of being a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting, and any failure to maintain the adequacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

 

We are required for 2023, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year that coincides with the filing of our second annual report on Form 10-K. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm may be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We have commenced the costly and time-consuming process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, and we expect to be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial expenses and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we in the future we may need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and compile the system and process documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404.

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. In addition, changes in accounting principles or interpretations could also challenge our internal controls and require that we establish new business processes, systems and controls to accommodate such changes. Additionally, if these new systems, controls or standards and the associated process changes do not give rise to the benefits that we expect or do not operate as intended, it could adversely affect our financial reporting systems and processes, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial reports or the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, our business may be harmed if we experience problems with any new systems and controls that result in delays in their implementation or increased costs to correct any post-implementation issues that may arise.

 

Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

 

A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of the common stock to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. Stockholders who have held their shares for at least six months are able to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Almost all of our outstanding shares are available to be sold in the open market under Rule 144 or because they have been registered under the Securities Act We have also registered shares of our common stock for sale into the public market which are issuable upon the exercise of warrants, by certain selling stockholders named therein. These shares represent a large number of shares of our common stock, and if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time, could depress the market price of our common stock during the period the registration statement remains effective and could also affect our ability to raise equity capital.

 

Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our common stock may decline.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations;
     
  variance in our financial performance from expectations of securities analysts;
     
  changes in our projected operating and financial results;
     
  changes in laws or regulations applicable to our products;
     
  announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions or new products;
     
  sales of shares of our common stock by us or our shareholders, as well as the anticipation of lock-up releases;

 

12

 

  our involvement in litigation;
     
  future sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders;
     
  changes in senior management or key personnel;
     
  the trading volume of our common stock;
     
  changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our market;
     
  general economic and market conditions; and
     
  other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, global pandemics or responses to these events.

 

Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may also negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In the past, companies who have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future, which could result in substantial expenses and divert our management’s attention.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

 

We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we currently anticipate that we will retain any earnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. Investors should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our common stock and could significantly affect the value of any investment in the Company.

 

Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. 1 share of preferred stock is designated Series A Preferred Stock and is outstanding. Our board of directors could authorize the creation of additional series of preferred stock that would grant to holders of preferred stock the right to our assets upon liquidation, or the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock. In addition, subject to the rules of any securities exchange on which our stock is then listed, our board of directors could authorize the creation of additional series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

The holder of our Series A Preferred Stock will have 29.5% of the voting power of our stockholders for the election of directors and will have certain senior rights upon sale of our Company under certain conditions.

 

There is 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, which is held by our former co-chairman and chief operating officer, Alan Blackman. The Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 29.5% of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders only as it relates to the elections of directors. As a result, Mr. Blackman was able to exert substantial influence over the election of directors to the Board. However, as discussed above, Mr. Blackman resigned from the Board of the company effective July 27, 2023. Additionally, in connection with Mr. Blackman’s resignation, once his severance payments are satisfied, Mr. Blackman shall return the Series A Preferred Stock to the Company for cancellation.

 

13

 

Further, the Series A Preferred Stock, provides that in the event the Company is sold during the two year period following completion of this offering at a price per share of more than 500% of the initial offering price per Common Unit in this offering, the Series A Preferred Stock will entitle the holder to 10% of the total purchase price. This may reduce the value of our common stock, as other holders, in the event of such an acquisition, will be entitled to a lower price per share than they would otherwise receive.

 

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, if they choose to act together, have the ability to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to stockholders for approval.

 

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 17.6% of our common stock. Such persons acting together, will have the ability to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and business affairs. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquiror from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our business, even if such a transaction would benefit other stockholders.

 

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute then-existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company.

 

Given our plans and expectations that we will need additional capital and personnel, we anticipate that we will need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging-growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, 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. Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our consolidated financial statements will not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make our common stock less attractive to investors. In addition, if we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an emerging-growth company until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering; (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates.

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of choosing to rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future results of operations will not be as comparable to the results of operations of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2024, was $6,814,350 or $0.43 per share of common stock.

 

“Net tangible book value” is total assets minus the sum of liabilities and intangible assets. “Net tangible book value per share” is net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

 

After giving effect to the sale by us in this offering of shares at an assumed public offering price of $0.275 per share, and after deducting the estimated placement agent discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses that we will pay, our adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2024, would have been approximately $18,505,350, or $0.30 per share of common stock. This amount represents an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of $0.13 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate increase of $0.03 per share to purchasers in this offering.

 

The following table illustrates the dilution:

 

Assumed public offering price per share  $ 0.275  
Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2024   $ 0.435  
Decreases in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering  $ 0.135  
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering  $ 0.300  
Increase in per share to new investors  $ 0.025  

 

The above table is based on 15,670,898 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, and excludes:

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. 1 share of our preferred stock is designated as Series A Preferred Stock and is held by Alan Blackman, our former co-chairman and former chief operating officer. However, pursuant to an agreement between Alan Blackman and the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company currently has control of the voting of such share. (See Series A Preferred Stock)

 

Upon completion of this offering, shares of  common stock and 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock will be issued and outstanding, which assumes no exercise of:

 

  8,625,000 shares underlying warrants offered per the IPO declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2022; 422,795 shares underlying warrants issued to other parties after the IPO;
  2,248,521 shares underlying warrants offered by the Selling Shareholders relating to the offering on February 3, 2023;

  8,750,003 shares underlying warrants relating to the September 2023 offering;
  2,385.038 pre funded warrants issued with the September 2023 offering

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the majority of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation.

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no withdrawal provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock.

 

IPO Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the warrants included in the initial public offering (“IPO Warrants”) hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of Warrant, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this offering circular is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of Warrant.

 

Exercisability. The IPO Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The IPO Warrants are be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the IPO Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the IPO Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may elect to exercise the IPO Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of the IPO Warrants. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

 

19

 

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the IPO Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

 

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the IPO Warrants is $4.25 and adjusted to $.64 with September 2023 offering. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent sales of our common stock (or securities exercisable for convertible into common stock) at a purchase price (or conversion or exercise price, as applicable) less than the then-effective exercise price. In the event of such a subsequent sale, the exercise price will be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions and subject to a minimum exercise price set forth in the IPO Warrants.

 

Forced Exercise and Redemption. The IPO Warrants will be subject to forced exercise commencing six months from issuance subject to the condition that the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 200% of the initial exercise price ($4.25) for twenty consecutive trading days and subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Warrants. In the event that a holder fails to exercise the IPO Warrants within 30 days of notice of a forced exercise in accordance with the terms of the IPO Warrants, the Company may redeem the IPO Warrants at a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the IPO Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

 

Exchange Listing. The IPO Warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “STSSW”.

 

Warrant Agent. The IPO Warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agency agreement between VStock Transfer LLC, as warrant agent, and us.

September 2023 Warrants

 

On September 27, 2023, Sharps Technology, Inc., (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Agreement”), with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”), for the issuance of (i) 2,581,479 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants, and (ii) 8,750,003 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. The purchase price of each share is $0.64 share priced at-the-market under NASDAQ rules. The purchase price for the pre-funded warrants is identical to the purchase price for shares, less the exercise price of $0.001 per share.

 

Each unit consists of one pre-funded warrant and one non-tradable warrant (the “September 2023 Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of $0.64 per share. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire five and a half years from the issuance date.

 

The PIPE Offering closed on September 29, 2023. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $5.6 million before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the September 2023 Warrants included in the Common Units offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of Warrant, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this offering circular is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of Warrant.

 

Exercisability. The September 2023 Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five and a half years after their original issuance. The September 2023 Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the September 2023 Warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the September 2023 Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may elect to exercise the September 2023 Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of the September 2023 Warrants. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the September 2023 Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

 

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the September 2023 Warrants is $0.64. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The exercise price is also subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent sales of our common stock (or securities exercisable for convertible into common stock) at a purchase price (or conversion or exercise price, as applicable) less than the then-effective exercise price. In the event of such a subsequent sale, the exercise price will be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions and subject to a minimum exercise price set forth in the September 2023 Warrants.

 

21

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the September 2023 Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the September 2023 Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in one or more series, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders.

BUSINESS

 

Background and Overview

 

Sharps Technology, Inc. is a medical device company that has designed and patented various safety syringes and is seeking to commercialize them. We were initially incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on December 16, 2017. Prior to March 22, 2022, we were a Wyoming corporation and on March 22, 2022, we reincorporated as a Nevada corporation pursuant to a merger into a newly formed Nevada corporation which was approved by our board of directors and the holders of the majority of our outstanding shares of common stock Sharps was incorporated to purchase, develop, and commercialize a body of intellectual property resulting in a family of smart safety syringe products and innovative drug delivery devices. Sharps closed the acquisition of this intellectual property in the fourth quarter of 2017. The intellectual property we purchased consisted of issued patent and patent files, new designs and iterations, samples, regulatory files, manufacturing files, product testing files, and market research files relating to such safety syringe products.

 

In June 2020, we entered into an asset/share purchase agreement with Safegard Medical and certain other parties and in August 2020, October 2020, and July 2021, we entered into amendments to this agreement (as amended, the “Safegard Agreement”). Under the Safegard Agreement, we received an option to purchase either the stock of Safegard or certain assets of Safegard, including a manufacturing facility in Hungary registered with the FDA and CE for the manufacture of safety syringes, for $2.5 million in cash plus additional consideration of 28,571 shares of common stock and 35,714 stock options with an exercise price of $7.00. Under the Safegard Agreement, we were granted the right to operate this facility at our expense and continued to do so through the closing date which occurred on July 6, 2022.

 

Sharps’ smart safety syringe products, which we refer to as Securgard™, Sologard™, and Sharps Provensa™, are ultra-low waste syringes that incorporate both passive and active safety and reuse prevention features, which we believe will provide us a competitive advantage over other syringes. The Sharps Securegard and Sologard lines, currently being marketed by the Company, are multi-feature safety syringes that had gained market acceptance prior to Sharps’ acquisition but not been marketed or sold for several years due to a decision by the owners to wind down the business. Safegard and Sologard are both FDA and WHO approved and Safegard currently carries the European CE Mark. The Sharps Provensa syringe is a patented passive safety syringe that gained FDA clearance for subcutaneous and intramuscular injections in June 2006. All three of these product lines are focused on innovatively addressing the most important needs of the global healthcare market in the area of disposable syringes. The Company has not yet generated any revenues from the sale of the Sharps products.

 

On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “NPC Agreement”) with Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“NPC”) and various affiliates of NPC, including InjectEZ, LLC, t. The NPC Agreement intended to support several areas of the Company’s development and growth. The Company and NPC intended to supplement the NPC Agreement by entering into a manufacturing supply agreement, a sales and distribution agreement and a pharma services program to support growth, and a future agreement to support manufacturing expansion. As noted below, the sales and distribution agreement was terminated on March 8, 2024 and replaced. The original manufacturing supply agreement, noted above, will be replaced as part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, entered into on September 22, 2023 (see below) and the Pharma Services agreement continues to be in place, but no activities have occurred to date. The Company is currently working to amend the terms of this NPC Agreement. based on the below September 22, 2023 Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

The Pharma Services Program (PSP) with Nephron is intended to 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 the Company and can be purchased by the healthcare industry, pharmaceutical markets, as well as by Nephron.

 

23

 

On September 29, 2022, the Company also 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 Company is currently working to amend the terms of the Nephron Agreement based on the below September 22, 2023 Asset Purchase Agreements.

 

On September 22, 2023, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Nephron and Nephron’s wholly owned subsidiary InjectEZ, LLC. The Company 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 Company continues to work with Nephron towards the purchase of the Nephron facility pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated September 22, 2023. This Asset Purchase Agreement, when closed, will supersede the manufacturing and supply agreement entered into in connection with the NPC Agreement on September 29, 2022, as noted in the subsequent paragraph. On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement and a new Purchase Agreement with Nephron and its related entities. The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement is contingent on obtaining the necessary financing and there can be no assurance that the closing of the asset purchase will occur.

 

The Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement changes the purchase price to $35,000,000 and obligates the Company to assume up to $4,000,000 in liabilities related to the assets being purchased. The asset list was also slightly modified. It provides that the parties have 45 days to close on the transaction, subject to the Company’s right to extend for an additional 15 days.

 

On May 20, 2024, the Company entered into a five-year Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Nephron whereby Nephron agreed to utilize the Company as its exclusive pre-filled copolymer syringe manufacturer and to purchase a minimum aggregate of approximately $188.5 million dollars 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Agreement is contingent on the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement as amended.

 

On March 4, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a cooperative sales and distribution agreement (the “Agreement) with Roncadelle Operations s.r.l (Roncadelle”). In conjunction with the execution of the Agreement, Roncadelle appointed the Company as its exclusive distributor of Roncadelle products in the United States, Canada, Central and South America and their territories. The Company appointed Roncadelle as its exclusive distributor of Sharps products in Europe, Middle East, APAC, South Africa and Australia and their territories. The Company and Roncadelle agreed to bear their own separate costs and expenses, including fees and other expenses, relating to external advisors and the preparation negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and any related documents. The Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date for the initial period of one (1) year (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, the term of the Agreement shall automatically renew for additional successive one-year terms, unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-current term, unless any renewal term is terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or applicable law.

 

On March 8, 2024, the Company and Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation terminated their distribution agreement dated December 8, 2022. The Nephron distribution agreement has been partially replaced by the aforementioned Agreement with Roncadelle, as stated above, and plans to use other parties to distribute for the US domestic market. The Company entered into a new logistics services agreement on the warehousing side with Owens and Minor (“O&M”) to replace Nephron’s distribution services. The Company had no revenues from the Nephron Distribution Agreement and does not believe that the cancellation is material. The Company is currently negotiating its contract with O&M to provide 3PL services for both the Company and Roncadelle products, in North and South America, beginning in the third quarter of 2024. The Company and Nephron continue to maintain the Pharma Services Program (PSP) that focuses on the creation of new business development and growth opportunities for both companies. These opportunities will include the development and sale of next generation drug delivery systems that will be produced by the Company and can be purchased by the healthcare industry, pharmaceutical markets, and Pharma companies such as Nephron and others.

 

Although we currently have production capacity for our products and thus the ability to receive and fulfill orders, we used the proceeds from the February 2023 and September 2023 fund raising to allow us to further increase our production capacity, build inventory and support working capital requirements This will help us to generate and fulfill orders for our current product line and advance our new innovative products in connection with recent collaboration arrangements. We are currently continuing to produce commercial quantities of our products and building inventory to support the Sales and distribution Agreement with Roncadelle, in anticipation of receiving additional orders in 2024.

 

We continue to be in discussions with healthcare companies and distributors for sales of our disposable syringe and prefillable syringe products. We intend to market these products to the U.S. and foreign governments and have already received a Purchase Order for our first Securegard sales to South America. We will also look to sell our disposable syringe products to hospitals and clinician offices as opportunities present themselves.

Our Products

 

The Sharps Securegard product line continues to represent our initial disposable syringe platform to be commercially available to the market. The addition of the Sologard products and SafeR products from Roncadelle are recent expansions to the Company’s product portfolio. These platforms have advanced 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 continues to be delays in the commercialization of the Sharps Provensa product line. The product’s specialized technology requires further design and assembly optimization as identified in our previous commercialization efforts. This on-going product refinement process is typical with the development of new technology for the healthcare market to ensure the products are safe and effective for use every time. At this time Sharps is not able to determine a timeline for final commercialization of the Provensa product.

 

Competitive Environment

 

We anticipate our major domestic competitors will include Retractable Technologies, Inc., Becton Dickinson & Company, Medtronic Minimally Invasive Therapies (“Medtronic,” formerly known as Covidien), Terumo Medical Corp., Smiths Medical, and B Braun. Our competitors may have greater financial resources, larger and more established sales, marketing, and distribution organizations; and greater market influence, including long-term and/or exclusive contracts.

 

We anticipate that we will compete primarily on the basis of healthcare worker and patient safety, product performance, and quality. We believe our competitive advantages will include the combination of passive safety and ultra low waste features.

 

Government Regulations

 

In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, FDA regulations and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, medical device design and development, preclinical and clinical testing, premarket clearance or approval, registration and listing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, advertising and promotion, sales and distribution, export and import, and post-market surveillance. The FDA regulates the design, manufacturing, servicing, sale and distribution of medical devices. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements may subject a company to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, such as FDA refusal to approve pending applications, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, civil penalties and criminal prosecution.

 

Unless an exemption applies, each medical device we wish to distribute commercially in the United States will require marketing authorization from the FDA prior to distribution. The two primary types of FDA marketing authorization applicable to a device are premarket notification, also called 510k clearance, and premarket approval, also called PMA approval. The type of marketing authorization is generally linked to the classification of the device. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the degree of risk the FDA determines to be associated with a device and the level of regulatory control deemed necessary to ensure the device’s safety and effectiveness. Devices requiring fewer controls because they are deemed to pose lower risk are placed in Class I or II. Class I devices are deemed to pose the least risk and are subject only to general controls applicable to all devices, such as requirements for device labeling, premarket notification and adherence to the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, known as the Quality System Regulations, or QSR. Class II devices are intermediate risk devices that are subject to general controls and may also be subject to special controls such as performance standards, product-specific guidance documents, special labeling requirements, patient registries or post-market surveillance. Class III devices are those for which insufficient information exists to assure safety and effectiveness solely through general or special controls and include life sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, devices of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or which present a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury. Our Sharps Provensa has been cleared by the FDA under the 510k premarket notification process (Class II).

 

Outside of the United States, our ability to market our products will be contingent also upon our receiving marketing authorizations from the appropriate foreign regulatory authorities, whether or not FDA approval or clearance has been obtained. The foreign regulatory approval process in most industrialized countries generally encompasses risks similar to those we will encounter in the FDA approval or clearance process. The requirements governing conduct of clinical trials and marketing authorizations, and the time required to obtain requisite approvals, may vary widely from country to country and differ from those required for FDA approval or clearance.

 

The sale of medical products is subject to laws and regulations pertaining to health care fraud and abuse, including state and federal anti-kickback, anti-self-referral, and false claims laws in the United States.

Intellectual Property

 

Intellectual property rights, particularly patent rights, are material to our business. We own four patents used in the Sharps Provensa, which expire between 2035 and 2040. Our issued patents include a design patent (USD743,025) for the ornamental design for a safety syringe which will reach full term and expire on November 10, 2029, a patent (US 10,980,950) for an ultra low-waste needle and syringe system that automatically and passively renders a needle safe during the injection process, a patent (US 11,154,663) for a pre-filled safety needle and syringe system, and a patent (US 11,497,860) for a Ultra-Low Waste Disposable Safety Syringe for Low Dose Injections.

 

We have two additional pending patent applications in the United States and four PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) patent applications. The patent applications, which we own, have an anticipated expiration date of 2039/2040. The pending patent applications are for (i) an ultra-low waste disposable syringe with self-adjusting integrating safety features, and (ii) a needle and syringe system with automatic safety shield that renders a needle safe. Our pending patent applications are for utility patents. With respect to the last of these patent applications, we have, in addition to our United States patent application, also filed PCT patent applications. The PCT applications have entered National Phase. Some of the issued US patents have issued in other countries, some are still pending.

 

We have certain trademarks for Sharps Provensa, Sharps Provensa Ultra-Low Waste and filed applications to register other trademarks for use in our Sharps Provensa product line.

 

Employees

 

We have fifty-seven full-time employees, two of which are our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and retain the services of additional personnel, as needed, on an independent contractor basis to support R&D, Finance, Marketing and Regulatory areas. We do not have any part-time employees. Of the fifty-seven employees, fifty work at our facilities in Hungary. We expect to add additional employees as we increase production capacity.

 

Facilities

 

We lease office space, on a month-to-month basis, at 105 Maxess Road, Melville, New York 11747. Our monthly rent is $200.

 

We operate a manufacturing facility in Hungary acquired in July 2022, which we previously used for development and testing of our products and we currently use primarily for the manufacture of Sharps Provensa safety syringe. We are prepared to move our owned molds, machinery and equipment to an alternative manufacturing location if necessary. See “Background and Overview.”

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to any material legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of any material legal proceedings.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

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.

Overview

 

Since our inception in 2017 and through the fourth quarter of 2022, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the research and development of our safety syringe products Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2022 we started building inventory of syringe products. To date, we have generated no revenue. We have incurred net losses of $9,841,638 and $4,639,662 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $982,386 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. 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 Initial Public Offering, Liquidity and Capital Resources and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

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, in connection with the agreement to acquire Safegard, a syringe manufacturing facility in Hungary, which was completed 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.

 

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

 

27

 

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 for our Chief Technology Officer;

 

Operating costs 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 our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to enhance our products to meet the market requirements for our Sharps syringe product line for its various intended uses throughout the world.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

On April 13, 2022, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-263715), as amended, related to our IPO was declared effective by the SEC, and our common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, on April 14, 2022. Our IPO closed on April 19, 2022. Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $14.2 million. In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company used net proceeds to repay the Note Payable of $2 million.

 

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.

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 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 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. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents

 

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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, inventory is comprised of raw materials, components and finished goods.

 

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.

 

29

 

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 – 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 annually 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.

 

Identified Intangible Assets

 

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 on an annual basis, 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. The stock-based awards are granted at an exercise price that represents the fair market value of the underlying common stock based on the stock price, at which the Company sold stock in private placements completed by the Company, during the period such options were issued. 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.

 

30

 

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 March 31, 2024, 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 statement of operations (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Condensed Consolidated 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. At March 31 2024, basic EPS includes 2,985,038 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 March 31, 2024, there were 23,085,155 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 year ended December 31, 2023, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $1,605,547 compared to $2,280,933 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $675,386 was due to decreased R&D costs incurred at the Safegard facility which transitioned principally from R&D activities to manufacturing. The decrease occurred in materials and general operating costs of approximately $1M, of which, a) $575,000 related to cost incurred prior to the acquisition in July 2022 for utilization of the facility, which included Safegard’s workforce and facility operating cost and b) decreases in material and other operating of $426,000 from $545,000 in 2022 to $119,000 in 2023. Further, we had decreases in labor related costs of $224,000 specifically related to decreases in stock compensation of $83,000 from $97,000 in 2022 to $14,000 in 2023, decreases in engineering and other labor costs of $141,000 from $492,000 in 2022 to $351,000 in 2023 and other decreases of $10,000. The overall decrease was partially offset by $560,000 charge in 2023 for an impairment of certain molds.

 

General and Administrative

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $8,521,103 as compared to $6,457,860 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $2,063,243 was primarily attributable to increases in payroll and related of: i) payroll and consulting fees of $1,530,000 from $1,630,000 in 2022 to $3,160,000 in 2023, primarily due to increased amounts of payroll, increased staffing and higher usage of various consulting services and ii) increase in stock compensation expense, due to timing of option awards and vesting, of approximately $34,000 from $916,000 in 2022 to $950,000 in 2023. In addition, we had increases in G&A for the year ended December 31, 2023, of approximately $498,000 principally from increased: professional fees $318,000, depreciation $238,000, general operating costs $251,000, insurance $126,000, technology related costs, including implementation of new ERP system $128,000 and separation expense of $375,000 for former officer. These were partially offset by lower public company costs and investor relations $818,000, travel $90,000 and patent fees $31,000.

 

32

 

Interest expense (income)

 

Interest income, net of interest expense, was $138,118 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to interest expense of $1,320,416 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Interest improved, net by $1,458,534 due to a) interest earned on invested cash in 2023 of $138,118 as compared to $42,900 in 2022 and b) the decrease in interest expense and accreted interest of approximately $1,363,316 was primarily relating to the financing entered in December 2021which was repaid at the IPO closing with net proceeds.

 

FMV Adjustment for Derivatives

 

The value of the Note Warrants requires 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 statement of operations and comprehensive loss. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 the Company recorded a $169,583 and $5,392,911 FMV gain adjustment respectively to reflect the decrease in the Note Warrants and Warrants liabilities issued. (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2023, and 2022, we had a cash balance of $3,012,908 and $4,170,897, respectively. The Company has working capital of $1,145,569 as of December 31, 2023, vs working capital of $2,416,928, as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in our working capital, after net proceeds from offerings of $8,029,628, was primarily related to the use of cash of $9,205,577 in operations and investing in fixed assets purchased. The Company intends to finance its future development and commercialization activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of equity securities and/or with additional funding from other traditional financing sources.

 

On April 13, 2022, we completed its 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 Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

On February 3, 2023, we completed a securities purchase agreement). On September 29, 2023, the Company completed two simultaneous offerings. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources as of March 31, 2024 below)

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

The Company used cash of $8,507,300 and $6,433,159 in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash used was principally due to the Company incurring additional G&A expenses, buildup of inventory partially offset by lower R&D activities as described above during year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenue

 

The Company has not generated any revenue to date.

 

Research and Development

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to $197,439 compared to $333,888 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of $136,449 was primarily due to a shift to increased manufacturing and reduced R&D activities in 2024 as compared to the 2023 period which amounted to $87,000. In addition, other R&D expenses decreased related to: (i) engineering and consulting by $6,000, and (ii) depreciation related to equipment by $46,000, partially offset by an increase in stock compensation of $3,000.

 

General and Administrative

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $1,646,613 as compared to $1,983,912 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of $337,299 was primarily attributable to: i) increases in payroll and consulting fees of $281,000 from $570,000 in 2023 to $851,000 in 2024, 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 $260,000 from $383,000 in 2023 to $123,000 in 2024, iii) decrease in public company and investor relations costs of $421,000 from $479,000 to $58,000 as 2024 costs primarily due to no period offering costs in the 2024 period and reduced investor relations activities. Further, we had increases in depreciation of $38,000, professional fees $53,000, computer $16,500, other expenses $14,000, Board costs $27,500, patent and registration fees $13,000, partially offset by decreases in rent $38,000, travel $11,000, and insurance $50,000.

 

Interest expense (income)

 

Interest income, was $19,023 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to interest income of $36,792 for three months ended March 31, 2023. Interest income was earned from cash balances held in interest bearing accounts that benefited from rate increases in 2024. The decrease is due to lower balances in interest bearing accounts.

 

34

 

FMV Adjustment for Derivatives

 

Certain 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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a $850,057 and $184,085 FMV gain to reflect adjustments required for outstanding Warrants liabilities. (See Notes 7, 8 and 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a cash balance of $1,165,913 and $3,012,908, respectively. The Company had working capital of $429,448 and $ 1,145,569 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in our working capital was primarily due to use of cash in operations and investing discussed below offset by net proceeds from the Offerings in February 2023 and September 2023. (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.

 

  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 $1,889,315 and $2,062,670 in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in cash used of $173,355, was principally due to the Company incurring lower operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company used cash in investing activities of $2,852 and $163,272, respectively. In both periods cash was used to acquire or pay deposits for fixed assets, equipment and software.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided cash from financing activities of $396 and $3,238,711, respectively. In the 2023 period, the cash provided from the Offerings completed in February 2023 and September 2023 and in the 2024 period from the exercise of pre-funded warrants.

 

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.

 

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Sharps Technology, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sharps Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated revenue or cash flow from operations since inception, and does not have an established source of funding sufficient to cover its operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since December 20, 2023.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

 

Note 1. Description 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 subsidiaries, Safegard Medical (Hungary) KFT, 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 Note 8).

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying 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.

 

The accompanying 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 December 31, 2023, the Company used cash in operations of $8,507,300 and has cash of $3,012,908 which is not 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 future development and 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.

 

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 December 31, 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. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, inventory is comprised of raw materials, components and finished goods.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, 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.

 

The Company’s outstanding warrants are fair valued on a recurring basis with the trading price or FMV using Black Sholes 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.

 

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, computer system 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 Computer systems and 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 annually 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.

 

The Company recorded an impairment of $560,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023 and no impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Purchased Identified Intangible Assets

 

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 finite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, 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. For restricted stock awards, the estimated fair value is generally the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date. 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 December 31, 2023, certain warrants (see Notes 8 and 10) are 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 statements of operations.

 

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.

 

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 December 31, 2023 and 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

 

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 December 31, 2023, there were 22,950,155 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.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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

 

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 is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect the adoption of this amended guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a quantitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for non-public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted for both. The Company will adopt the new standard in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2025 and is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its disclosures within the consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

The Company 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.

Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement (continued)

 

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.

 

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 the repayment date, the Company recorded interest expense of $39,111 and accreted interest of $1,299,895 and 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 is 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. 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.

 

In connection with the closing of the IPO, 235,295 warrants were issued to settle the Contingent Warrant liability (“Note Warrants”) with an exercise price of $4.25 adjusted to $0.64 at September 29, 2023, based on anti-dilution terms in the warrants. The terms of the Note Warrants continue to require classification as a liability under ASC 815 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

 

Note 12. Income Taxes (continued)

 

The authoritative guidance requires the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered.

 

The guidance also requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including a company’s current and past performance, the market environment in which the company operates, length of carryback and carryforward periods and existing contracts that will result in future profits. After reviewing all the evidence, the company has recorded a full valuation allowance.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $21,222,000 of which $241,000, if not fully utilized, expires by 2038 and which $20,981,000 do not expire. The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $2,590,000, if not fully utilized, expire through 2028. Utilization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the tax loss carryforwards.

 

The geographical components of loss before income taxes consisted of the following for the years ended December 31:

 

   Year Ended   Year Ended 
   December 31,
2023

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

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 March 31, 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and the statements of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (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, 2023 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, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

 

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 March 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital of $429,448 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.

 

F-31

 

SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

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 March 31, 2024, 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. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

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 March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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.

SHARPS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 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.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

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 March 31, 2024, certain 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.

 

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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is a separate component of stockholders’ equity and consists of the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

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 2,985,038 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 March 31, 2024, there were 23,085,155 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

 

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 does not expect the pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company and will disclose the nature and reason for any elections that the Company makes.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires disaggregated information about the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional information on taxes paid that meet a quantitative threshold. The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, a, with early adoption permitted . The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its disclosures within the consolidated 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.

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.

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 was 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.

 

As additional consideration to the Purchasers for providing the financing, the Company issued to each Purchaser a) 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) 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 was issued 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”).

Note 7. Note Purchase Agreement (continued)

 

In accordance with ASC 480-10-25-14, a fixed monetary amount existed at inception for the total value of Contingent Stock that may be issued to each Purchaser. Similarly, a fixed monetary amount further existed at inception for the total value of Contingent Warrants that may be issued to each Purchaser. The Contingent Stock and Contingent Warrant liabilities were measured at FMV on the date of issuance (based on the Black-Scholes valuation model).

 

The Company repaid the $2,000,000 in Notes with proceeds from the IPO that closed on April 19, 2022 and 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. Further, with the closing of the IPO, 235,295 warrants were issued to settle the Contingent Warrant liability (“Note Warrants”) with an exercise price of $4.25, adjusted to $0.64 at September 29, 2023, based on anti-dilution terms in the warrants. The terms of the Note Warrants continue to require classification as a liability under ASC 815 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. (See Note 8 and 10).

Contingencies

 

At each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company is currently not involved in any material litigation or other loss contingencies.

 

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 incurred any change in control as such the 2% royalty remains in place.

Investor acknowledges that the Share Purchase Price of the Offered Shares in the Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value.

Whereas, Buyer and Seller desire to enter into an exclusive agreement with regard to the purchase and sale of polymer prefillable syringe formats or other mutually agreed upon components or products manufactured by Seller, including as a primary supplier of polypropylene disposable syringe formats after product qualification and acceptance, to meet Buyer’s ongoing syringe requirements (attached hereto) hereinafter called Products; and

 

Whereas, Buyer and the Seller are entering into this Agreement in good faith and are relying on its terms;

 

Now, therefore, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

Exclusivity.

 

Exclusivity Period shall mean the period starting on the date of the initial delivery of Products and ending five (5) years thereafter and for the remaining Term as defined below. During the Exclusivity Period, the Buyer will not directly or indirectly, through any employee, agent, or otherwise, and will not permit any of its agents to solicit, initiate or encourage, any offers or proposals relating to the purchase by Buyer of COC syringes or any products similar to the COC syringes for use by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right to purchase for resale Products. Buyer and Seller agree that during the Exclusivity Period, Buyer shall purchase COC syringes exclusively from Seller and not from any other vendor and Seller will exclusively produce (i) the minimums required under Schedule I for the Buyer and (ii) such quantities requested by the Buyer to meet the Safety Stock Program requirements defined below before addressing any other customers of the Seller. Note: this exclusivity applies only to COC syringes and does not apply to any polypropylene syringes purchased by Buyer. To the extent that Seller produces more Products than the quantities set forth on Schedule 1, Seller shall have the right to sell such excess Products to third parties.

 

Purchase and Sale of Products.

 

Purchase a11d Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term as defined below, Buyer shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall manufacture and sell to Buyer, Buyer’s requirements of the Products. Schedule 1 contains: (a) a description of the Products to be manufactured and sold hereunder as may be augmented from time to time to include any new, future or additional products designed by mutual consent or in accordance with the Pharma Services Agreement; (b) the purchase price for the Products; and (c) the minimum monthly quantities of the Products to be purchased by Buyer (“Minimum Quantities”).

 

Unless otherwise provided in Schedule 1, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer shall purchase from Seller, and Seller shall manufacture and sell to Buyer the quantity of Products as identified in Schedule 1.

 

The Parties shall, from time to time, amend Schedule 1 to reflect any agreed upon increases in minimum quantities or prices; provided that no such revisions will modify this Agreement or be binding on the Parties unless such revisions have been fully approved in a signed writing by authorized Representatives of both Parties. Buyer shall purchase the Products from Seller at the prices set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Prices”).

 

 
 

 

Safety Stock Program {“Safety Stock”). Buyer will have the option to purchase up to two months of Minimum Quantities to establish the Safety Stock for the purpose of ensuring the availability of product in the event of unforeseen demand exceeding the Minimum Quantities or an unforeseen production interruption. Buyer may allocate a portion of the Minimum Quantities to the initial establishment of the Safety Stock. If used, Buyer will have the option to replenish the Safety Stock once Minimum Quantities are met. If Buyer should require purchase of additional quantities of Safety Stock, Buyer and Seller shall meet to determine how that can be accomplished through production ramp-up.

 

Tn the event production is interrupted for an extended period of time, Seller will deliver Product from the Safety Stock. Once the Safety Stock is depleted and production has not yet commenced, Buyer will be free to purchase from other suppliers and the Minimum Quantities will be suspended. Once production is resumed, the suspension will be lifted and the Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations to purchase Minimum Quantities under this contract will be resumed.

 

on-binding Forecasts of Buyer’s Requirements (“Forecasts’). On the last business day of each month, Buyer will provide Seller with a rolling 6-month forward order Forecast prepared in good faith. Forecasts are for informational purposes only and do not create any binding obligations on behalf of either Party; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to manufacture and sell to Buyer any quantity of forecasted Products that is in excess of Seller’s Excess Capacity.

 

For the purposes of this agreement, Excess Capacity will be defined as the maximum production capacity available to the Seller at the time required by this Agreement less the sum of (i) the Minimum Quantities under Schedule I plus orders arising from the Forecast required by the Buyer at such time; (ii) Safety Stock; and (iii) quantities needed to meet the forecasted orders, by production line, of the Buyer’s existing other customers. Sharps will prioritize order deliveries to Nephron for Minimum Quantities, Forecasts and the Safety Stock.

 

Right to Manufacture and Sell Competitive Products. This Agreement does not limit Seller’s right to manufacture or sell, or preclude Seller from manufacturing or selling, to any Person, or entering into any agreement with any other Person related to the manufacture or sale of, the Products and other Products that are similar to or competitive with the Products.

 

Buyer agrees to purchase the minimum quantities outlined in Schedule 1. In the event the Buyer is unable to utilize all of the Minimum Quantities in any month, Buyer will be free to resale Products in coordination with Sharps, so long as such sales are at prices agreed to by Sharps and Nephron and to entities who are not then customers of Sharps (“Resold Products”). Sales of Resold Products shall be included in calculating Nephron’s purchases of Minimum Quantities.

At the time of execution of this Lease or at any time thereafter, Lessor shall be under no duty to make any alterations or repairs to the Premises, except as agreed to and specifically set forth in this Lease.

 

 
 

 

ARTICLE 2

RENT PAYMENTS

 

2.01 During the initial five (5) year Lease Term, the net annual rental (the “Net Rent”) for the Lease term shall be Four Hundred Eighty-Six Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($486,000.00). Lessee shall be required to make payments monthly, on the 1st day of each month in the amount of one-twelfth of the Net Rent. Beginning in the sixth year of the Lease Term and in every year of the Lease Term thereafter, the Net Rent shall increase by the increase in CPI. For the purposes herein, “CPI” means the CONSUMER PRICE INDEX for all Urban Consumers (All Items U.S. City Average 1982–84 equals 100), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor. For the purposes of determining the annual increase in the CPI, subtract 1 from the fraction whose denominator is the monthly CPI number for [May] of the calendar year prior to the calendar year that the determination of the annual increase in the CPI is being made and whose numerator is the corresponding monthly CPI number for [May] of the calendar year in which the determination of the annual increase in the CPI is being made. By way of example, and not as a limitation, if the monthly CPI number for September 2028 were 230 (denominator) and the monthly CPI number for [May] 2029 were 237 (numerator), then 1 subtracted from the fraction would mean an annual increase in the CPI of 3 and 4/100 percent (3.04%). Thereafter, the annual increase in the CPI for each 12-month period of this Lease will be computed in a like manner. If the monthly CPI number is not available during any calendar month required for determination of the annual increase, then the Annual Rent will be increased 3 percent (3.0%), as set forth herein, until the appropriate monthly CPI becomes available, at which time the increase above 3 percent (3.0%), if any, will be retroactive to the beginning of the then current Lease year and be due and payable to Lessor within 30 days as rent, and if less than 3% the difference will be credited against Lessee’s next payment of rent. In the event that CPI is terminated or unavailable for any reason, the calculation will be made by using the successor index or the one most nearly comparable to it.

 

2.02 Lessor shall receive the Net Rent free of reductions of every description for each lease month. All rental payments shall be made at the address specified above or such other location as specified in writing by Lessor from time to time.

 

2.03 Lessee shall pay to Lessor all other sums that may become due or be payable by Lessee under this Lease, at the time and in the manner provided in this Lease. All of such other sums so to be paid may, at Lessor’s option, be deemed to be additional rent, and in the event of non-payment, Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies provided in this Lease in the case of the non-payment of rent. These amounts shall be based on the percentage of the rentable square feet in Premises as they relate to the total rentable square feet in the building in which the Premises are located.

 

ARTICLE 3

USE AND MAINTENANCE

 

3.01 The Premises shall be utilized for any and all lawful purposes.

 

3.02 The Premises shall be kept in good order and repair by Lessee, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, and Lessee shall make all repairs and replacements, which may be necessary or required to the Building, including any damage to the plumbing or windows, or the roof, including all components, systems, fixtures, common areas, roof repair, roof maintenance, landscape maintenance, and parking lot maintenance and repair.

 

3.03 No Hazardous Materials shall be permitted to be generated, stored, handled or disposed of on or about the Premises; provided, however, that this provision shall not be applicable to materials located on the Premises used by occupants in the normal course of business so long as the same are stored, utilized and disposed of in accordance with all applicable Governmental Requirements (hereafter defined) and are of a type and quantity normally found in industrial buildings and other Premises dedicated to the uses permitted herein and which do not represent any material danger to persons or property if an accident were to occur with respect thereto.

 

ARTICLE 4

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

 

4.01 Subject to Lessor liability for environmental conditions prior to the Lease date, throughout the term of this Lease, Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, promptly observe and comply with all laws, orders, regulations, rules, ordinances, and requirements of the Federal, State, County and local Governments, including all Environmental Laws (as defined in Article 28) and of all of their administrative departments, bureaus, officials and of the local fire insurance rating organization, and of all insurance companies writing policies covering the Premises or any part thereof, whether those laws, orders, regulations, rules, ordinances, or requirements relate to structural repairs, changes, or alterations to or in and about the Premises or to repairs, changes, or alterations incident to or as the result of any use or occupation of the Premises, or use of the adjacent sidewalks, and whether the same now are in force, or that may, at any time in the future, be enacted or directed (collectively “Governmental Requirements”); and Lessee shall pay all costs, expenses, claims, fines, penalties, and damages that may in any manner arise out of or be imposed because of the failure of Lessee to comply with these covenants.

 

 
 

 

4.02 Lessee, after notice to Lessor, may, by appropriate proceedings conducted promptly at its own expense, in its name or (whenever necessary) Lessor’s name, contest in good faith the validity or enforcement of any such law, order, regulation, rule, ordinance, or requirement, and may defer compliance therewith provided that (a) such non- compliance shall not constitute a crime on the part of Lessor, (b) Lessee shall diligently prosecute such contest to final determination by the court, department, or governmental authority or body having final jurisdiction. Lessor agrees to cooperate reasonably with Lessee, and to execute any documents or pleadings reasonably required, for the purpose of any such contest, provided that Lessee shall discharge any expense or liability of Lessor in connection therewith.

 

ARTICLE 5

Premises and all alterations, extensions, and improvements thereto and replacements thereof, against loss or damage by fire and the risks contemplated within the extended coverage endorsement, including loss of rent coverage (as such endorsement in the broadest form may customarily be written in that state from time to time) and against such other risks as are customary and shall reasonably be required by Lessor, or as shall be required by any Institutional Lender (as defined in Article 28) holding a mortgage and/or security interest on and/or in the Premises, in an amount equal to the full replacement value, from time to time, of the Premises, excluding land and foundation, and may provide for reasonable deductibles. Lessor agrees to pay the premiums on this insurance, as and when those premiums become due and payable, and promptly to deliver to and deposit with Lessee copies of all such policies of insurance with due proof of payment of premiums, and to deliver renewal policies, with such proof, to Lessee within 25 days prior to expiration of the policies. All policies of fire and other insurance described in this Section 9.01 shall be for the benefit of, Lessor (as an additional insured), Lessee, and any Institutional Lender holding an Institutional Mortgage on Lessor’s interest in the Premises, as their interests may appear, but the interest of any such mortgagee shall be covered by the customary mortgagee endorsement employed in South Carolina. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor in full for the costs of the premiums for such policies within fifteen (15) days of being provided evidence of payment of the same from Lessor.

This assignment shall not include any award for taking of or damage to the trade fixtures of Lessee, or its subtenants, nor shall it include any award for the loss of business to the Lessee. Those amounts shall be paid directly to the Lessee with Lessor having no right to share in same.

 

ARTICLE 11

11.01 Should either Party fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease within 30 days after the giving of written notice by the other Party (but in any event, regardless of that notice or the lack thereof, promptly before the accrual of any penalty as provided by law or by any mortgage held by an institutional lender (as defined in Article 28) superior to this Lease, the Party giving notice may perform those obligations and add any such sum or sums paid or expended in that performance to or against any rent then due or thereafter falling due under this Lease with like effect as if an original part of that installment, and that sum or sums shall be and become additional rental. This Article 11, however, does not grant Lessee any license or privilege to allow the Premises to be without the insurance coverage provided by Article 9, or Lessee to be without the liability insurance protection provided by Article 19, and the failure promptly to comply with Articles 9 and 19 shall privilege Lessor to place immediately the necessary insurance, and the cost thereof shall be additional rent and collectible as such.

ARTICLE 12

MORTGAGING; ASSIGNMENT; SUBLETTING

 

12.01 Except for Permitted Transfers (see 28.06), Lessee shall not sublet all or any portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Any sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and Lessee shall remain liable for the performance of all of its covenants and agreements under this Lease. Except for Permitted Transfers (see 28.06), Lessee shall not assign this Lease in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. No assignment shall be effective unless each such assignee by written instrument or operation of law, shall assume and become bound to perform and observe all of the covenants and agreements of Lessee under this Lease, provided that Lessee shall not be released of liability for the payment of Net Rent and for the performance and observance of any of the other covenants and agreements of Lessee under the Lease after the effective time of such assignment.

 

12.02 Lessor may assign this Lease at any time after execution provided that Lessor’s assignee assumes all of Lessor’s obligations and liabilities under this Lease and in no way are the Lessee’s obligations hereunder to be diminished in any way.

 

12.03 Lessee may mortgage its interest in this Lease, consistent with the following:

 

12.04 Leasehold Mortgage Provisions

 

(a) Lessee shall have the right, at any time, without Lessor’s consent, to mortgage this Lease and the leasehold estate hereby created to any Leasehold Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined), and to enter into any and all extensions, modifications, amendments, consolidations, replacements and refinancings of such Leasehold Mortgage (as hereinafter defined), provided that there shall not be more than one Leasehold Mortgage at any given time and that no Leasehold Mortgage shall affect Lessor’s reversionary interest and estate in and to the Premises. Lessee shall notify Lessor thirty (30) days prior to entering into such Leasehold Mortgage and shall provide Lessor with the name and address of the Leasehold Mortgagee. If requested to do so by Lessor, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with copies of the documents evidencing and securing the Leasehold Mortgage. The execution and delivery of any Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease nor shall the Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, be deemed an assignee or transferee of this Lease so as to require such Leasehold Mortgagee to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Lessee to be performed hereunder. If Lessee shall mortgage this Lease and provide Lessor with the Leasehold Mortgagee’s name and address, then until such Leasehold Mortgage shall be satisfied and discharged of record, the following provisions shall apply, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, and any pertinent provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to be amended and modified to the extent necessary so as to provide as follows:

 

(b) This Lease shall not be surrendered, modified or amended without the prior written consent of any Leasehold Mortgagee.

 

(c) Lessor shall, at the same time of mailing or serving on Lessee any notice of default, send by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, a copy of such notice to the Leasehold Mortgagee. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall thereupon have the same right to cure the default as is provided to Lessee, and Lessor shall accept such cure by or at the instigation of the Leasehold Mortgagee as if such cure was accomplished by Lessee.

 

(d) No default on the part of Lessee, in the performance of work to be performed, or acts to be done, or conditions to be remedied, which cannot reasonably be completed within any applicable grace period, shall result in a termination of this Lease, if steps shall, in good faith, have been commenced by the Leasehold Mortgagee promptly to rectify the default, and shall be prosecuted to completion with diligence.

 

 
 

 

(e) If, before the expiration of any applicable grace period, the Leasehold Mortgagee shall have paid to Lessor all rent and all other charges provided for in this Lease which are then in default, and shall have cured, or shall be diligently pursuing to cure any non-monetary default under this Lease, then Lessor shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease and any notice of termination theretofore given shall be void and of no effect.

 

(f) In the event of a termination of this Lease prior to the date herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of the Lease and the Term, as the same be extended by any renewal of the original Term, whether by summary dispossess proceedings, service of notice to terminate, or otherwise, Lessor shall, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, serve on the Leasehold Mortgagee written notice of such termination, together with a statement of any and all sums which would at that time be due under this Lease but for such termination, and of all other defaults, if any, under this Lease then known to Lessor. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall also have the right to obtain an assignment of this Lease by the Lessee hereunder to the Leasehold Mortgagee or the Leasehold Mortgagee’s designated assignee without the consent of the Lessor if in connection with a “lease assignment in lieu of foreclosure” or assignment post foreclosure. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall thereupon have the option to obtain a new or direct lease in accordance with and on the following terms and conditions:

 

(i) twenty (20) days after service of the aforementioned notice of termination, Lessor shall enter into a new or direct lease (the “New Lease”) of the Premises with the Leasehold Mortgagee, or its designee (the “New Lessee”), as provided in the following clause (ii).

 

(ii) The New Lease shall be entered into at the reasonable cost of the New Lessee, shall be effective as of the date of termination of this Lease, and shall be for the remainder of the Term and at the rent and additional rent and on all the agreements, terms, covenants, and conditions hereof. On the execution of the New Lease, the New Lessee shall pay any and all sums which would at the time of the execution thereof be due under this Lease but for the termination as aforesaid and shall otherwise fully remedy or agree in writing to remedy any existing non-monetary default under this Lease. The New Lessee shall pay all necessary and reasonable expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and court costs incurred by Lessor in terminating this Lease and in recovering possession of the Premises as well as in the preparation, execution, and delivery of the New Lease.

 

(g) The New Lease, the leasehold estate created thereby and all the rights of the Lessee under the New Lease are and shall be subject and subordinate in any respect to the encumbrances, conditions of title and other matters now affecting the fee title to the Premises or any part thereof, and to any Fee Mortgage now on or hereafter placed on the fee of the Premises, or any part thereof, or which affects or may hereafter affect the fee title to the Premises (or Lessor’s interest in the Lease) and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Fee Mortgage, as the same may be amended, extended, modified, refinanced and/or replaced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition for such subordination with respect to any mortgage hereafter affecting the Premises, Lessor agrees to obtain a Non-disturbance Agreement from the holder of any such mortgage provided that, the holder of same requires this Lease to be subject and subordinate thereto. Any such Non-disturbance Agreement shall be in the form generally used by the applicable mortgagee provided same is commercially reasonable.

 

(h) Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled to an estoppel certificate from Lessor as provided in Article 27 of the Lease.

 

(i) As used herein, (i) the term “Leasehold Mortgage” shall mean a mortgage or other similar instrument creating a lien or other encumbrance on the leasehold interest by a Leasehold Mortgagee and any modification of any of the terms thereof and (ii) the term “Leasehold Mortgagee” shall mean any insurance company, bank or trust company, educational or charitable institution, union, pension, profit or retirement fund or trust, real estate investment trust or other financial or lending institution generally recognized at the time as an “institutional lender” which makes or holds any Leasehold Mortgage and/or its successors and assigns (each such holder shall be deemed a “Leasehold Mortgagee”).

 

 
 

 

ARTICLE 13

TAXES

 

13.01 Lessee shall, pay and discharge all duties, taxes, charges for water, sewer taxes, assessments, extraordinary as well as ordinary, whether foreseen or unforeseen, as shall, during the term of this Lease, be laid, levied, assessed, imposed or otherwise accrue upon the Premises or liens upon the Premises, unless they shall be the responsibility of the Lessor, or any part thereof, or any appurtenances thereto or the leasehold estate created by this Lease whether by virtue of any present or future law, order, or ordinance of the United States of America, or of the City, County, or other local government, or of any department, office, or bureau thereof, or any other governmental authority, or otherwise. The duties, taxes, charges, assessments, and payments described in this Section 13.01 are sometimes referred to in this Article collectively as “Impositions.” In the event of any future tax abatement, the Lessee shall be made aware of such abatement and shall receive credit therefor.

 

13.02 All Impositions shall be paid by Lessee when they become due and payable without interest or penalty to the department, officer, or bureau charged with the collection thereof. But nothing in this Lease shall require Lessee to pay any inheritance, franchise, income, payroll, employment, workers compensation, excise, privilege, rent, capital stock, estate or profit tax, or any tax of similar nature, that is, or may be, imposed upon Lessor, unless those taxes shall be levied upon the rent reserved in this Lease in the place of real estate/property taxes upon the Premises.

 

13.03 All taxes, assessments, and water rents that are mentioned above to be paid by Lessee shall be prorated and adjusted for the fiscal years in which the term of this Lease begins and ends.

 

13.04 In the case of assessments for local improvements or betterments that are assessed or imposed during the term of this Lease and that may be payable in installments, Lessee shall only be obligated to pay the installments that fall due during the term of this Lease, unless same are the responsibility of the Lessor.

 

13.05 Lessee may contest or review by legal proceedings or in any manner that Lessee in its opinion shall deem advisable (which proceedings or other steps taken by Lessee, if instituted, shall be conducted diligently at its own expense and free of expense to Lessor) any and all Impositions levied, assessed, or imposed upon or against the Premises or taxes in lieu thereof, required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease and payment thereof shall be deferred as long as such contest is pending. No such contest or review shall be undertaken or payment deferred in a manner that exposes the Premises or Lessor’s interest therein to jeopardy.

 

13.06 Lessee upon request of Lessor will promptly exhibit to Lessor all paid bills (or copies) for real estate taxes, water rates, and assessments, which bills after inspection by Lessor shall be returned to Lessee.

 

ARTICLE 14

DEFAULTS

 

14.01 Each of the following shall be deemed a default by Lessee and a breach of this Lease:

 

(a) Lessee’s failure to pay any installment of Net Rent or to pay any additional rent, which failure persists after the expiration of 5 days with regard to the payment of Net Rent or 30 days with regard to the payment of any additional rent, from the date Lessor gives written notice to Lessee calling attention to the existence of that failure.

 

(b) Lessee’s failure to observe or perform any of its obligations under the other terms, covenants, or conditions of this Lease, which failure persists after the expiration of 30 days from the date Lessor gives notice to Lessee calling attention to the existence of that failure, but, if the matter that is the subject of the notice is of such a nature that it cannot be reasonably corrected within 30 days, then no default shall be deemed to have occurred if Lessee promptly, upon the receipt of the notice, commences the curing of the default and diligently prosecutes the same to completion. However, if the default is one relating to a matter that exposes space occupants or the public to a danger to safety or health of which the public authorities have given due notice to Lessee, then such shorter notice to Lessee, whether written or otherwise, shall be sufficient as the circumstances demand with the responsibility of Lessee to take corrective measures forthwith.

 

 
 

 

(c) The adjudication of Lessee in bankruptcy; the taking by Lessee of the benefit of any other insolvency act or procedure, which term includes any form of proceeding for reorganization or arrangement or rearrangement under the Bankruptcy Code as well as an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the appointment of a receiver for Lessee and such receiver remains undischarged for 30 days.

 

14.02 Should Lessee default as described in this Article 14 and such default continues beyond any applicable grace period, as provided in Articles 14.01 A, B or C, Lessor at any time thereafter may, at its option, give Lessee 15 days’ written notice of intention to end the term of this Lease and thereupon at the expiration of those 15 days the term of this Lease shall expire as completely as if that date were the date definitely fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the term and Lessee will then quit and surrender the Premises to Lessor, as provided in Article 5 hereof, but Lessee shall remain liable as provided in this Article 14.

 

14.03 If the notice provided for in Section 14.02 shall have been given and the term of this Lease shall expire as described in that Section, or if the Lease shall be taken from Lessee as a result of any execution against Lessee in any proceeding in which Lessee shall have no appeal or further appeal, then Lessor may without notice re-enter the Premises and dispossess Lessee by summary proceedings or otherwise, and Lessee or other occupant or occupants of the Premises will remove their effects and hold the Premises as if this Lease had not been made, and Lessee waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end.

 

In case of any default, re-entry, expiration or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise:

 

(a) Rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of that re-entry, dispossess, or expiration, together with any expenses that Lessor may incur for legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, including those incident to the recovery of possession, brokerage, and putting the Premises in good order, or for preparing the same for re-rental;

 

(b) Lessor may relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Lessor or otherwise, for a term or terms that may at Lessor’s option be less than or exceed the period that would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease and may grant concessions or rent at a lower cost without thereby in any way affecting Lessee’s liability for the rental payable under this Lease for the then current term of the Lease; and

 

(c) Lessee shall also pay Lessor as liquidated damages for the failure of Lessee to observe and perform Lessee’s covenants any deficiency between the rent reserved in this Lease and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected by reason of the reletting of the Premises for each month of the period that would otherwise have constituted the balance of the then current term of this Lease.

 

i. In computing liquidated damages there shall be added to the said deficiency any expenses that Lessor may incur in connection with the recovery of possession of the Premises and reletting, such as, but not limited to, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, brokerage, for keeping the Premises in good order and for preparing the same for reletting but not for any alterations or improvements in connection therewith.

 

ii. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Lessee on the rent day specified in this Lease and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Lessor to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar action or proceeding.

 

14.04 Lessor may make any alterations and decorations in the Premises that Lessor, in its sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises. The making of these alterations or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Lessee from any liability under this Article 14, but Lessee shall not be liable for the costs of the same.

 

14.05 If Lessor shall enter into and repossess the Premises because Lessee defaults in the performance of any of the terms of this Lease, and shall have terminated this Lease, Lessee will not claim the right to redeem or re-enter the Premises or restore the operation of this Lease, and Lessee waives the right to such redemption and re-entrance under any present or future law, and waives the right of any party claiming through or under Lessee to make payment of any sum or sums of rent, or otherwise, of which Lessee shall have made default under any of the covenants this Lease, and to claim any subrogation to the rights of Lessee under this Lease, by reason of that payment. Lessor shall provide reasonable notice of its intention to enter and repossess the Premises and shall provide Lessee reasonable notice to cure such default.

 

 
 

 

14.06 Any action taken by Lessor under this Article 14 shall not waive any right that Lessor would otherwise have against Lessee for rent reserved in this Lease or otherwise, and Lessee shall remain responsible to Lessor for any loss and damage suffered by Lessor by reason of Lessee’s default or breach. The words “re-enter” and “re-entry” as used in this lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

14.07 Anything to the contrary contained in this Lease notwithstanding, in the event any payment of Net Rent or any additional rent is more than 10 days past due, an administrative charge equal to 4% of such past due sum shall be due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon written demand. In addition, any sum more than 30 days past due shall bear interest at the rate equal to the Prime Rate as published by The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus 5% per annum (or the highest lawful rate allowable if less than such rate until paid in full, with said interest to be due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon written demand.

 

14.08 Shall the Lessor fail to comply with its obligation pursuant to the Lease, Lessee shall have the right to file suit against Lessor for any damages it has incurred as a result of said default, including monetary damages and any equitable remedy and/or damages which Lessee may have against the Lessor.

 

14.09 In the event any litigation is commenced to enforce any provision of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of such litigation from the non-prevailing party.

15.01 (a) No receipt of monies by Lessor from Lessee after the lawful termination or cancellation of this Lease, shall reinstate, continue or extend the term of this Lease, or affect any notice theretofore given to Lessee, or waive Lessor’s right to enforce the payment of fixed or additional rent or rents then due (to the extent provided in Article 14), or thereafter falling due, or waive Lessor’s right to recover possession of the Premises by proper suit, action, proceeding, or remedy unless agreed to in writing by the Lessor..

All such monies collected shall be deemed to be payments on account of the use and occupation or Lessee’s liability under this Lease.

 

15.02 Lessor’s failure to enforce any term of this Lease, that is breached by the Lessee, after notice had, shall not be deemed to void or affect the right of Lessor to enforce that term on the occasion of a subsequent default or breach.

 

ARTICLE 16

SUBORDINATION

 

16.01 This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any and all Institutional Mortgages (as defined in Article 28) that may now or hereafter affect Lessor’s interest in the real property of which the Premises form a part, and of all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof. Subject to full compliance with Section 16.02, this clause shall be self-operative and no further instruments of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of this subordination, Lessee shall execute promptly any certificate that Lessor may request. Lessee constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such certificate or certificates for and on behalf of Lessee.

 

 
 

 

16.02 (a) The subordination described in Section 16.01 as it pertains to Institutional Mortgages now in effect or hereafter made (which term includes any agreement modifying any Institutional Mortgage now in existence or hereafter made), is conditioned upon the agreement of the Institutional Lender, to be delivered by it to Lessee, in which the Institutional Lender agrees in substance that so long as this Lease remains in effect:

 

i. Lessee will not be disturbed in its use or possession of the Premises and the rights and privileges of Lessee under this Lease will not be disturbed by the holder of the mortgage;

 

ii. Lessee will not be joined in any action or proceeding to foreclose the mortgage by the holder thereof; and

 

iii. Casualty insurance proceeds and condemnation awards to which the holder of the mortgage is entitled under the terms of the mortgage will be applied towards restoration of the Premises consistent with Articles 9 and 10 of this Lease, respectively, and be disbursed as provided for by those Articles.

 

16.02 (b) The giving of any agreement as described in Section 16.02(A) by an Institutional Lender may be conditioned by it on the reciprocal agreement by Lessee to attorn to the Institutional Lender should it become vested with Lessor’s interest in the Premises, and such additional agreements of Lessee as are normally contained in Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements reasonably required by Institutional Lenders making mortgage loans in South Carolina and will be clear that such Institutional Lender will not disturb Lessee’s use or possession of the Premises as long as this Lease is in effect.

 

ARTICLE 17

QUIET ENJOYMENT

 

17.01 Lessee, as long as this Lease remains in effect, shall and may, at all times during the term of this Lease peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the said Premises free of molestation by Lessor.

 

ARTICLE 18

BINDING EFFECT

 

18.01 The covenants and agreements contained in this Lease inure to the benefit of and are binding upon the parties to this Lease, their successors and assigns, but this Article does not modify the provisions governing assignment, as elsewhere provided for in this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 19

LIABILITY INSURANCE

 

19.01 Lessee will carry at all times during the Lease term, at its own cost and expense, steam boiler, host liquor liability, and general liability insurance for the benefit of both Lessor (as an additional insured) and Lessee with responsible insurance companies indemnifying both Lessor and Lessee against claims for personal injuries sustained in or about the Premises, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 for injuries or death to one person and $2,000,000 for injuries or death arising out of the same accident when more than one person is involved, and for not less than $1,000,000 in respect to property damage. Such insurance may have reasonable and customary deductibles. Lessee will deposit with Lessor a certificate of the insurance carrier or carriers indicating that this insurance is in full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid. If the limits of liability insurance generally carried by owners of comparable properties in the vicinity of the Premises exceeds the foregoing limits, the foregoing limits shall be increased accordingly.

 

ARTICLE 20

ALTERATIONS

 

20.01 Lessee may make nonstructural alterations to the Premises without the consent of Lessor, and, with Lessor’s prior written consent, structural alterations and improvements, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld so long as the structural alterations or improvements are reasonably in keeping with manufacturing facility designs.

 

 
 

 

ARTICLE 21

NOTICES

 

21.01 All notices to the parties shall be addressed to them at the respective addresses first given for them in this Lease, or to such other address, of which either of them, as the case may be, shall notify the other in the manner stated in this Article 21 for giving notice. The notice must be given by either registered mail, return receipt requested, or by certified mail, return receipt requested. In the case of the former the service of the notice shall be deemed complete upon the registration thereof with the postal authorities, and in the case of the latter upon the due mailing thereof. However, if in either case the notice is mailed from a place outside of South Carolina, service shall not be complete until the notice is received.

 

ARTICLE 22

NO WAIVER

 

22.01 The failure of Lessor or Lessee to insist in any one or more instances, upon a strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease, or to exercise any option contained in this Lease, shall not be construed as a waiver of or relinquishment for the future of the performance of that covenant, or the right to exercise that option, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. Lessor’s receipt of Net Rent or additional rent, with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease, shall not be deemed a waiver of that breach, and no waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Lessor or Lessee.

 

22.02 Lessor’s receipt of any installment of the Net Rent under this Lease or of any additional rent shall not be a waiver of any Net Rent or additional rent then due. Lessor may, in its sole discretion, apply any payments made by Lessee to the satisfaction of any debt or obligation of Lessee to Lessor, regardless of Lessee’s instructions as to the application of those payments, whether those instructions are endorsed on Lessee’s check or otherwise.

 

ARTICLE 23

REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

 

23.01 All the rights and remedies given to Lessor in this Lease for the recovery of the Premises because of the default by Lessee in the payment of any sums that may be payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or upon the breach of any of the terms of this Lease, or the right to re-enter and take possession of the Premises upon the happening of any of the defaults or breaches of any of the covenants of this Lease, after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure, or the right to maintain any action for rent or damages and all other rights and remedies allowed at law(other than “self-help” type remedies), are reserved and conferred upon Lessor as distinct, separate, and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether exercised by Lessor or not, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others.

 

ARTICLE 24

INSPECTIONS BY LESSOR

 

24.01 Lessee shall permit Lessor and Lessor’s agent’s inspection of the Premises from time to time at reasonable hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Lessee to determine Lessee’s compliance with the terms of this Lease. Lessor (or its agents conducting such inspection) shall be accompanied by Lessee.

 

ARTICLE 25

ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS

 

25.01 This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties, and any agreement hereafter made shall not operate to change, modify, or discharge this Lease in whole or in part unless that agreement is in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged with it.

 

 
 

 

25.02 In the event any Institutional Lender providing financing to Lessor with respect to Lessor’s interest in the Premises desires modifications in the terms or conditions of this Lease, Lessee shall agree to such modifications as reasonably requested by Lessor to satisfy the requirements of such Institutional Lender so long as such modification (i) does not result in any increase in the financial obligations of Lessee hereunder or impose any burdensome non- monetary obligation or other liability or risk (actual or contingent) on Lessee; (ii) does not interfere with the business of the Lessee; and (ii) is consistent with requirements generally imposed by Institutional Lenders for transactions of similar magnitude in the State of South Carolina. Moreover, in no way shall anything contained in this Article 25 limit the Lessee’s rights under the terms of the Lease or any extension thereof.

 

ARTICLE 26

32.01 OPTION TO PURCHASE. Provided this Lease has not been terminated, Lessor hereby grants to Lessee, or its assignee, the option to Purchase the Premises, land, and all improvements located on and the land described on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Property”) (sometimes referred to as the “Option”) after the end of the eighth year of the Lease Term, subject to the following terms and conditions.

 

32.02 OPTION TERM. This option shall be valid following the end of the eighth year of the Lease Term, and must be exercised by notice to Lessor as provided herein on or before the last day of November, 2031 (six (6) months from the end of the eighth year), or it shall expire (the “Option Period”).

At any time during the Option Period, Lessee may exercise this Option to Purchase by giving Lessor not less than 30 and not more than 180 days’ notice of intent to exercise the Option. In the event Lessee exercises the Option to Purchase, the Closing shall occur not more than one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of such notice. In the event the Closing occurs following the expiration of the Lease, then, the Lease term shall be extended for the period from the expiration of the Lease until Closing, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum equal to the pro-rata monthly amount of Net Rent last then due, from the expiration of the Lease until Closing.

If the Lessee shall purchase the Property in connection with Article 32 hereof and an Appraisal is necessary, the Lessor shall within thirty (30) days after it has notice of that an Appraisal is required notify the certified public accountants then serving the Lessor of the need for an Appraisal to determine the Fair Market Value of the Property. Thereafter, the accountants shall promptly submit to the Lessor and the Lessee a list of three (3) appraisers reasonably qualified, MAI certified, experienced, and trained to value the Property, with no relationship with either the Lessor or Lessee. The Lessor and the Lessee shall each strike names alternately from the list, with the Lessee striking first, until only one name remains. The remaining named appraiser shall determine the Fair Market Value of the Property, taking into consideration such factors as deemed appropriate, and shall promptly deliver a final report and such valuation to the Lessor’s accountants. The accountants shall notify the Lessor and Lessee, in writing, as specified herein of the Fair Market Value of the Property as determined by the Appraisal. The cost of the Appraisal shall be borne equally, one half by the Lessor and one half by the Lessee.

 

ARTICLE 33

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

 

33.01 During the Term of this Lease, if Lessor receives from a third party (the “Offeror”) a bona-fide offer, which the Lessor wishes to accept, to purchase all or any part of the Property, Lessor shall cause the offer to be reduced to writing (which shall include all relevant terms and conditions, including the period within which the sale of the Property must occur) (the “Offer”), and shall notify Lessee in writing of its wish to accept the Offer (“Lessor’s Notice”). Lessee’s Notice shall be accompanied by a true copy of the Offer. Lessee shall then have the right to purchase the Property or portion thereof (hereinafter the “Offer Property”), at the price and on the other terms and conditions set forth in the Offer; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be required to pay any brokerage commissions or similar fees. Tenant’s right under this Agreement is referred to as the “Right of First Refusal.”

 

33.02 Lessee shall exercise the Right of First Refusal, if at all, by providing Lessor written notice (“Notice of Exercise”) within twenty-five (25) days after receipt by Lessee of Lessor’s Notice. If Lessee does not timely provide Lessor with the Notice of Exercise, Lessor may sell the Offer Property to the Offeror on the terms set forth in the Offer provided that:

 

i. the Right of First Refusal shall remain in effect with respect to the remainder of the Term herein (including any Renewal Term);

 

ii. once an Offer of which Lessor has given the Lessee Lessee’s Notice is accepted by Lessor, Lessor shall not agree to a reduction of the purchase price, more favorable terms to the third party purchaser, or any change in the consideration to be given in exchange for the Offer Property, without first giving Lessee a new Lessee’s Notice of the reduction, more favorable terms or change, and upon receipt of the new Lessee’s Notice, the Right of First Refusal shall apply to the Offer Property at the new price, or on the new or changed terms set forth in the new Lessee’s Notice; and

  

iii. if Lessee has not entered into an agreement to sell the Offer Property within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date Lessee receives Lessor’s Notice, or if such sale does not close within three hundred sixty (360) days after the date that Lessee receives Lessor’s Notice, then the Right of First Refusal shall again be applicable prior to any sale of that Offer Property.

 

33.03 If Lessee elects to exercise the Right of First Refusal, Lessor and Lessee shall enter into an agreement of sale setting forth the terms in the Offer, and such other terms and provisions as may be agreed to between the parties that are not inconsistent therewith. If the parties are unable to agree upon the form of agreement of sale within thirty (30) business days after Lessee’s delivery of its exercise notice to Lessor, then Lessee shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations under the Offer, except that any contingencies other than fee simple marketable title and an environmental inspection shall be deemed waived. The closing of the purchase and sale shall be held via escrow by mail at the offices of Lessee’s attorney, or at such other place as Lessee may select. Payment for the Property being purchased pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with the terms specified in Lessor’s Notice. Upon such payment, Lessor shall deliver to the purchaser a bargain and sale deed with covenants against the grantor’s acts, sufficient to convey the Property to be sold in fee simple, free of all liens and encumbrances except “Permitted Encumbrances which include[ ]”, together with an assignment of all leases, a bill of sale sufficient to convey title to all personal property of Lessor located at the Property and used in connection therewith, and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the conveyance of the Property to Lessee. Payment of the transfer tax, mansion tax and other closing adjustments shall be on the terms set forth in Lessor’s Notice, and if not specified in such Lessor’s Notice, shall be paid in the manner customary in the county where the Offer Property is located.

In rendering our opinion, we have relied on the applicable laws of the State of Nevada, as those laws presently exist and as they have been applied and interpreted by courts having jurisdiction within the State of Nevada. We express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares being sold pursuant to the Offering Statement are duly authorized and will be, when issued in the manner described in the Offering Statement, legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Offering Statement. We also hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the offering circular. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

 

  Very truly yours,
