Current report
Gross margin was 70.8% and 67.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 respectively, compared to 71.8% and 70.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Gross margin for product revenue was 70.8% and 67.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 respectively, compared to 60.5% and 63.4% for the three and six months ended June 30,2023, respectively. The increase in gross margin from product revenue were primarily due to a higher average selling price, fixed cost absorption, and a prior year inventory write-down, offset by an increased manufacturing overhead as we are adding capacity in support of planned revenue growth in 2024 and higher material costs.

Previous report
Gross margin was 61.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 67.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a lower average selling price, increased manufacturing overhead as we are adding capacity in support of planned revenue growth in 2024 and a higher number of deliveries to patients, which is when cost of goods sold is recorded than units recognized as revenue.

Previous wording
We have relationships with physicians and therapists who generate patient referrals, and we utilize digital ads on various platforms as well as television ads to reach patients who are potential candidates for our product. Once the prospective patient contacts us or is referred to us, either our trained clinical staff or a trained Orthotics and Prosthetics (“O&P”) provider will evaluate the patient for their suitability as a candidate. Initial evaluations by our trained clinical staff are often conducted using telehealth techniques, followed by an in-person clinical evaluation of the candidate. Prior to obtaining authorizations from commercial insurance companies, the patient’s medical records are collected and reviewed to make sure the device is appropriate for their condition and a prescription is always obtained from a physician. Once these documents are obtained, a pre-authorization request is submitted to the patient’s insurer. If we receive a pre-authorization, we proceed to measure the patient’s arm. Beginning in 2022, this is being done in some cases using a digital measurement kit supplied to the patient. We then use those measurements to 3D print orthotic parts, which are used to fabricate the MyoPro, and then deliver it to the patient. Since we are directly providing the device to the patient and then billing insurance ourselves, we refer to this process as direct billing. We also call on O&P practices in the United States, Europe and Australia that provide our products to their patients as well as generate indirect sales. The MyoPro product line has been approved by the Veterans Administration (“VA”) for impaired veterans, and nearly 100 VA facilities have ordered devices for their patients.

Once these documents are obtained, a pre-authorization request is submitted to the patient’s commercial insurer. If we receive a pre-authorization, we proceed to measure the patient’s arm, a process we refer to as shape capture. For a Medicare patient, we will commence shape capture once we are in possession of all relevant medical records and have assessed that the patient meets our inclusion criteria. Beginning in 2022, arm measurements are being done in some cases using a digital measurement kit supplied to the patient. We then use those measurements to 3D print orthotic parts, which are used to fabricate the MyoPro, and then deliver it to the patient.

On August 29, 2023, we completed a public equity offering, selling 5,413,334 shares of common stock and 1,920,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock at $0.60 per share, or at $0.5999 per pre-funded warrant, generating net proceeds after fees and expenses of approximately $3.9 million. In January 2023, we completed a public equity offering, whereby we sold 13,169,074 shares of common stock and 6,830,926 pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock at $0.325 per share, or $0.3249 per pre-funded warrant.

On November 1, 2023, CMS issued a final rule that results in a change in the benefit category associated with products billed under the HCPCS codes for our products from durable medical equipment rental to a brace, which would permit reimbursement of MyoPro sales on a lump sum basis. The rule became effective on January 1, 2024. On February 29, 2024, CMS published final average payment determinations for the HCPCS codes describing our products of approximately $33,500 for L8701, the MyoPro Motion W, and approximately $65,900 for L8702, the MyoPro Motion G, which became effective on April 1, 2024. When reimbursed by CMS we will be paid at approximately 80% of the published fees, with the remaining 20% from either the patient directly or their secondary insurance.

Considering our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances as of March 31, 2024 and our plans to grow our revenues in 2024 by serving Medicare Part B beneficiaries, we believe there is sufficient cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments to fund our operations and capital expenditures for the next 12 months from the date of this report.

Previous wording
Our business is dependent upon reimbursement of our products by insurance companies and government-controlled health care plans such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States and by Statutory Health Insurance plans in Germany, which could prevent our revenues from growing to the level necessary to achieve cash flow breakeven. We believe that we have access to capital resources, if necessary, through potential public or private equity offerings, exercises of outstanding warrants, debt financings, or other means. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms. We may also explore strategic alternatives for the purpose of maximizing stockholder value. There can be no assurance we will be successful in implementing our plans to sustain our operations and continue to conduct our business.

Previous wording
Our operating plans are primarily focused on increasing our clinical, reimbursement and manufacturing capacity in order to serve a higher volume of Medicare Part B patients in 2024.

Based on our latitude as to the timing and amount of certain expenses, our current cash position and operating plans, we believe that the substantial doubt is alleviated as of the issuance date of these financial statements.
Current wording
Our operating plans are primarily focused on increasing our clinical, reimbursement and manufacturing capacity and increasing our advertising spending in the second half of 2024, in order to educate patients and clinicians regarding the MyoPro and to serve a higher volume of patients in 2025 and beyond. We believe that based on the final fees published by the CMS for our products, which became effective on April 1, 2024, if our supply chain is able to meet our volume requirements without disruption, and we are able to compensate for the additional advertising spending, we believe we can achieve cash flow breakeven on a quarterly basis by the fourth quarter of 2024. Based on our latitude as to the timing and amount of certain expenses, our current cash position and operating plans, we believe that the substantial doubt is alleviated as of the issuance date of these financial statements.
