Vivos Therapeutics Inc

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

BioModeling Solutions, Inc. (“BioModeling”) was organized on March 20, 2007 as an Oregon limited liability company, and subsequently incorporated in 2013. On August 16, 2016, BioModeling entered into a share exchange agreement (the “SEA”) with First Vivos, Inc., a Texas corporation (“First Vivos”), and Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Vivos”), which was established on July 7, 2016 to facilitate SEA transaction. Pursuant to the SEA, all of the outstanding shares of common stock and warrants of BioModeling and all of the shares of common stock of First Vivos were exchanged for newly issued shares of common stock and warrants of Vivos, the legal acquirer.

The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with BioModeling as the acquirer for financial reporting and accounting purposes. Upon the consummation of the merger, the historical financial statements of BioModeling became the Company’s historical financial statements and recorded at their historical carrying amounts.

On August 12, 2020, Vivos reincorporated from Wyoming to become a domestic Delaware corporation under Delaware General Corporate Law. Accordingly, as used herein, the term “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terminology refer to Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” refers to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Reverse Stock Split

On October 25, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors under authority granted by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 22, 2023, was consummated pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on October 25, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in the accompanying financial statements, these footnotes to the financial statements in general to shares of the Company’s common stock, including prices per share of the common stock, reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Fractional shares were not issued, and the final number of shares were rounded up to the next whole share.

Description of Business

We are a medical technology and services company that features a comprehensive suite of proprietary oral appliances and therapeutic treatments. Our products non-surgically treat certain maxillofacial and developmental abnormalities of the mouth and jaws that are closely associated with breathing and sleep disorders such as mild to severe obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults. The Company offers three separate clinical pathways or programs to providers—Guided Growth and Development, Lifeline, and Complete Airway Repositioning and Expansion (“CARE”). Each program features certain oral appliances coupled with specific therapeutic treatments, and each clinical pathway is intended to address the specific needs of a diverse patient population with different patient needs. For example, the Guided Growth and Development program features the Vivos Guide and PExappliances along with adjunctive, non-Company therapies used by a dentist (such as CO 2 laser treatments and other therapies) designed for treating palatal growth (growth of the mouth roof) and expansion in pediatric patients as they grow. The mid-range priced Lifeline program features a selection of mandibular advancement devices (“MADs”) such as the Versa and Vida Sleep which are FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-moderate OSA in adults, along with the patented Vida appliance, which is FDA 510(k) cleared as unspecified classification for the alleviation of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (“TMD”) symptoms, bruxism, migraine headaches, and nasal dilation.

The Company’s flagship CARE program, which is part of The Vivos Method, features the Company’s patented DNA, mRNA and mmRNA appliances, which are also FDA 510(k) cleared for mild-to-severe OSA and snoring in adults. The Vivos Method may also include adjunctive myofunctional, chiropractic/physical therapy, and laser treatments that, when properly used with the CARE appliances, constitute a powerful non-invasive and cost-effective means of reducing or eliminating OSA symptoms. In a small subset of a study, the data has actually shown that The Vivos Method can reverse OSA symptoms in a large portion (up to 80%) of patients. The primary competitive advantage of The Vivos Method over other OSA therapies is that The Vivos Method’s typical course of treatment is limited in most cases to 12 to 15 months, and it is possible not to need lifetime intervention, unlike CPAP and neuro-stimulation implants. Additionally, out of over 45,000 patients treated to date worldwide with the Company’s entire current suite of products, there have been very few instances of relapse.

The Company also offers a suite of diagnostic and support products and services to dental and medical providers and distributors who treat patients with OSA or related conditions. Such products and services include (i) VivoScore home sleep screenings and tests (powered by SleepImage®technology), (ii) AireO2 (an electronic health record program designed specifically for use by dentists treating sleep patients), (iii) Treatment Navigator (a concierge service to assist a provider in educating and supporting the doctors as they navigate insurance coverage, diagnostic indications and treatment options), (iv) Billing Intelligence Services (“BIS”) (which optimizes medical and dental reimbursement), (v) advanced training and continuing education courses at the Company’s Vivos Institute in Denver, Colorado, (vi) MyoCorrect, a service through which Vivos-trained providers can provide orofacial myofunctional therapy (“OMT”) to patients via a telemedicine platform, and (vii) the Company’s Medical Integration Division (“MID”), which manages independent medical practices under management and development agreements which pays the Company from six (6%) to eight (8%) percent of all net revenue from sleep-related services as well as development fees.

Another aspect of the Company’s business model is to teach, train, and support dentists, medical doctors, and distributors in the use of the Company’s products and services. Dentists who use the Company’s products and services typically enroll in a variety of live or online training and educational programs offered through the Company’s Vivos Institute—an 18,000 sq. ft. facility located near the Denver International Airport. Dentists are able to select the specific program or clinical pathway that they want to focus on, such as Guided Growth and Development or Lifeline or both. Dentists may also enroll in the VIP program for the complete set training, educational, and support services available in all three clinical pathway programs. Dentists enrolled in the VIP Program are referred to as “VIPs.” The Company charges upfront enrollment fees to educate and train new providers. The Company also charges for the ancillary support services listed above and views each product and service as a revenue/profit center.

The Company recently entered into a strategic marketing and distribution alliance with an operator of multiple sleep testing and treatment centers in Colorado, under which each party’s products and services will be offered together as a comprehensive solution to OSA patients seeking obstructive sleep apnea treatment. Under this model, the Company will invoice patients (rather than dentists), for treatment by Vivos employed dentists. The Company anticipates this will be the first of a series of similar alliances across the country, marking an important pivot in the Company’s marketing and distribution model for treating patients and distributing its cutting edge OSA appliances.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the December 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and as a result, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-EGC but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company currently expects to retain its status as an EGC until the year ending December 31, 2026, but this status could end sooner under certain circumstances.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the sale of products and services. A significant majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from enrolling dentists as either (i) Guided Growth and Development VIPs; (ii) Lifeline VIPs; (iii) combined Guided Growth and Development and Lifeline VIPs; or Premier Vivos Integrated Providers (“Premier VIPs”). Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the majority of VIP enrollments were Premier VIPs. The other, lower priced enrollments were piloted in prior fiscal quarters on a limited basis. They were officially adopted during the second quarter of 2023. For each VIP program, revenue is recognized when control of the products or services is transferred to customers (i.e., VIP dentists ordering such products or services for their patients) in a manner that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services.

Following the guidance ofASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“ASC 606”) and the applicable provisions ofASC Topic 842,Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five-step model, which entails:

Service Revenue

VIP Enrollment Revenue

The Company reviews its VIP enrollment contracts from a revenue recognition perspective using the 5-step method outlined above. All program enrollees, irrespective of their level of enrollment, are commonly referred to as VIPs, unless it is necessary to specify their particular program. Once it is determined that a contract exists (i.e., a VIP enrollment agreement is executed and payment is received), service revenue related to VIP enrollments is recognized when the underlying services are performed. The price of the Premier VIP enrollment that the VIP pays upon execution of the contract is significant, running at approximately $26,200, with different entry levels for the various programs described above. Unearned revenue reported on the balance sheet as contract liability represents the portion of fees paid by VIP customers for services that have not yet been performed as of the reporting date and are recorded as the service is rendered. The Company recognizes this revenue as performance obligations are met. Accordingly, the contract liability for unearned revenue is a significant liability for the Company. Provisions for discounts are provided in the same period that the related revenue from the products and/or services is recorded.

The Company enters into programs that may provide for multiple performance obligations. Commencing in 2018, the Company began enrolling medical and dental professionals in a one-year program (now known as the Premier VIP Program) which includes training in a highly personalized, deep immersion workshop format which provides the Premier VIP dentist access to a team who is dedicated to creating a successful integrated practice.

VIP enrollment fees include multiple performance obligations which vary on a contract-by-contract basis. The performance obligations included with enrollments may include sleep apnea rings, a six or twelve month BIS subscription, a marketing package, lab credits and the right to sell our appliances. The Company allocates the transaction price of a VIP enrollment contract to each performance obligation under such contract using the relative standalone selling price method. The relative standalone price method is based on the proportion of the standalone selling price of each performance obligation to the sum of the total standalone selling prices of all the performance obligations in the contract.

The right to sell is similar to a license of intellectual property because without it the VIP cannot purchase appliances from the Company. The right to sell performance obligation includes the Vivos training and enrollment materials which prepare dentists for treating their patients using The Vivos Method.

Because the right to sell is never sold outside of VIP contracts, and VIP contracts are sold for varying prices, the Company believes that it is appropriate to estimate the standalone selling price of this performance obligation using the residual method. As such, the observable prices of other performance obligations under a VIP contract will be deducted from the contract price, with the residual being allocated to the right to sell performance obligation.

The Company uses significant judgements in revenue recognition including an estimation of customer life over which it recognizes the right to sell. The Company has determined that Premier VIPs who do not complete sessions 1 and 2 of training rarely complete training at all and fail to participate in the Premier VIP program long term. Since the beginning of the Premier VIP program, just under one-third of new VIP members fall into this category, and the revenue allocated to the right to sell for those VIPs is accelerated at the time in which it becomes remote that a VIP will continue in the program. Revenue is recognized in accordance with each individual performance obligation unless it becomes remote the VIP will continue, at which time the remainder of revenue is accelerated and recognized in the following month. Those VIPs who complete training typically remain active for a much longer period, and revenue from the right to sell for those VIPs is recognized over the estimated period of which those VIPs will remain active. Because of various factors occurring year to year, the Company has estimated customer life for each year a contract is initiated. The estimated customer lives are calculated separately for each year and have been estimated at 15 months for 2020, 14 months for 2021, 18 months for 2022, 23 months for 2023, and 27 months in 2024, as a result of customers staying active for longer periods of time. The right to sell is recognized on a sum of the years’ digits method over the estimated customer life for each year as this approximates the rate of decline in VIPs purchasing behaviors we have observed.

Other Service Revenue

In addition to VIP enrollment service revenue, in 2020 the Company launched BIS, an additional service on a monthly subscription basis, which includes the Company’s AireO2 medical billing and practice management software. Revenue for these services is recognized monthly during the month the services are rendered.

The Company also offers its VIPs the ability to provide MyoCorrect to the VIP’s patients as part of treatment with The Vivos Method. The program includes packages of treatment sessions that are sold to the VIPs and resold to their patients. Revenue for MyoCorrect services is recognized over the 12-month performance period as therapy sessions occur.

Allocation of Revenue to Performance Obligations

The Company identifies all goods and services that are delivered separately under a sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on relative fair values. These fair values approximate the prices for the relevant performance obligation that would be charged if those services were sold separately, and are recognized over the relevant service period of each performance obligation. After allocation to the performance obligations, any remainder is allocated to the right to sell under the residual method and is recognized over the estimated customer life. In general, revenues are separated between durable medical equipment (product revenue) and education and training services (service revenue).

Treatment of Discounts and Promotions

From time to time, the Company offers various discounts to its customers. These include the following:

The amount of the discount is determined up front prior to the sale. Accordingly, measurement is determined before the sale occurs and revenue is recognized based on the terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer over the performance period. In rare circumstances, a discount has been given after the sale during a conference which is offering a discount to full price. In this situation, revenue is measured and the change in transaction price is allocated over the remaining performance obligation.

The amount of consideration can vary by customer due to promotions and discounts authorized to incentivize a sale. Prior to the sale, the customer and the Company agree upon the amount of consideration that the customer will pay in exchange for the services the Company provides. The net consideration that the customer has agreed to pay is the expected value that is recognized as revenue over the service period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the transaction price to represent the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and any changes in circumstances during the reporting period.

Product Revenue

In addition to revenue from services, the Company also generates revenue from the sale of its line of oral devices and preformed guides (known as appliances or systems) to its customers, the VIP dentists or OSA patients. These include the DNA appliance®, mRNA appliance®, the mmRNA appliance, the Versa, the Vida, the Vida Sleep and others. The Company expanded its product offerings in the first quarter of 2023 via the acquisition of certain U.S. and international patents, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“AFD”). Revenue from appliance sales is recognized when the control of a product is transferred to the VIP in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The VIP in turn charges the VIP’s patient and or patient’s insurance a fee for the appliance and for his or her professional services in measuring, fitting, and installing the appliance and educating the patient as to its use. The Company contracts with VIPs for the sale of the appliance and is not involved in the sale of the products and services from the VIP to the VIP’s patient.

The Company’s appliances are similar to a retainer that is worn in the mouth after braces are removed. Each appliance is unique and is fitted to the patient. The Company utilizes its network of certified VIPs throughout the United States and in some non-U.S. jurisdictions (notably Canada and Australia) to sell the appliances to their customers as well as in two dental centers that the Company operates. The Company utilizes third party contract manufacturers or labs to produce its patient-customized, patented appliances and its preformed guides. The manufacturer designated by the Company produces the appliance in strict adherence to the Company’s patents, design files, treatments, processes and procedures and under the direction and specific instruction of the Company, ships the appliance to the VIP who ordered the appliance from the Company. All of the Company’s contract manufacturers are required to follow the Company’s master design files in production of appliances or the lab will be in violation of the FDA’s rules and regulations. The Company performed an analysis under ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40 and concluded it is the principal in the transaction and is reporting revenue gross. The Company bills the VIP the contracted price for the appliance which is recorded as product revenue. Product revenue is recognized once the appliance ships to the VIP under the direction of the Company.

In support of the VIPs using the Company’s appliances for their patients, the Company utilizes a team of trained technicians to measure, order and fit each appliance. Revenue is recognized differently for Company owned centers and distribution alliances with third party sleep centers than it does for revenue from VIPs. Upon scheduling the patient (which is the Company’s customer in this case), the center takes a deposit and reviews the patient’s insurance coverage. The Company recognizes revenue in the centers after the appliance is received from the manufacturer and once the appliance is fitted and provided to the patient.

The Company offers certain dentists (known as Clinical Advisors) discounts to standard VIP pricing. This is done to help encourage Clinical Advisors, who help the VIPs with technical aspects of the Company’s products, to purchase Company products for their own practices. In addition, from time to time, the Company offers credits to incentivize VIPs to adopt the Company’s products and increase case volume within their practices. These incentives are recorded as a liability at issuance and are deducted from the related product sale at the time the credit is used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on existing facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, assessing collectability on accounts receivable, the determination of customer life and breakage related to recognizing revenue for VIP contracts, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; valuation assumptions for assets acquired in asset acquisitions; valuation assumptions for stock options, warrants, warrant liabilities and equity instruments issued for goods or services; deferred income taxes and the related valuation allowances; and the evaluation and measurement of contingencies. However, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operations will be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less that are freely available for the Company’s immediate and general business use are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are stated at the net amount expected to be collected, using an expected credit loss methodology to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of factors, including the aging of the receivables, historical collection trends, and charge-offs. When the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, the Company may individually evaluate the related receivable to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be charged-off, including bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 3 to 5 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recognized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the term of the respective leases which range between 5 and 7 years. The Company does not begin depreciating assets until assets are placed in service.

Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. We test for impairment annually as of December 31. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

Intangible assets consist of assets acquired from First Vivos and costs paid to (i) MyoCorrect, from whom the Company acquired certain assets related to its OMT service in March 2021, (ii) Lyon Management and Consulting, LLC and its affiliates (“Lyon Dental”), from whom the Company acquired certain medical billing and practice management software, licenses and contracts in April 2021 (including the software underlying AireO2) for work related to the Company’s acquired patents, intellectual property and customer contracts and (iii) AFD, from whom the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property in March 2023. The identifiable intangible assets acquired from First Vivos and Lyon Dental for customer contracts are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets, which approximates 5 years (See Note 5). The costs paid to MyoCorrect, Lyon Dental and AFD for patents and intellectual property are amortized over the life of the underlying patents, which approximates 15 years.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We review and evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. We measure the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The fair value is measured based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The evaluation of asset impairment requires us to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2023, or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, accordingly no impairment was required.

Equity Offering Costs

Commissions, legal fees and other costs that are directly associated with equity offerings are capitalized as deferred offering costs, pending a determination of the success of the offering. Deferred offering costs related to successful offerings are charged to additional paid-in capital in the period it is determined that the offering was successful. Deferred offering costs related to unsuccessful equity offerings are recorded as an expense in the period when it is determined that an offering is unsuccessful.

Employee Retention Tax Credit

The employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”) for 2020 was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (the “Relief Act”). The ERTC provided for changes in the employee retention credit for 2020 and provided an additional credit for the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2021. Employers are eligible for the credit if they experienced either a full or partial suspension of operations during any calendar quarter because of governmental orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic or if they experienced a significant decline in gross receipts based on a comparison of quarterly revenue results for 2020 and/or 2021 and the corresponding quarters in 2019. The ERTC is a refundable credit that employers can claim on qualified wages paid to employees, including certain health insurance costs.

According to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Notice 2021-20, “Guidance on the Employee Retention Credit under Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,” the period during which there is a significant decline in gross receipts is determined by identifying the first quarter in 2020 in which the gross receipts are less than 50% of its gross receipts for the same period in 2019. The employee retention credit is available only to eligible employers. Section 2301(c)(2)(A) of the CARES Act defines the term “eligible employer” as any employer carrying on a trade or business during calendar year 2020, and, with respect to any calendar quarter, for which (1) the operation of the trade or business carried on during calendar year 2020 is fully or partially suspended due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19, or (2) such calendar quarter is within the period in which the employer had a significant decline in gross receipts, as described in section 2301(c)(2)(B) of the CARES Act. VIP dentists and potential VIPs were forced to close their offices during 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Therefore, the Company qualifies as an eligible employer under this under the CARES Act.

Section 2301(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the CARES Act also provides that if an eligible employer averaged 100 or fewer employees in 2019 (a “small eligible employer”), qualified wages are those wages paid by the eligible employer with respect to an employee during any period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the CARES Act (relating to a calendar quarter for which the operation of a trade or business is fully or partially suspended due to a governmental order) or during a calendar quarter within the period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(II) of the CARES Act (relating to a significant decline in gross receipts). The Company averaged fewer than 80 employees in 2019 and is therefore considered a small eligible employer under the CARES Act.

Healthcare plan expenses were not included in the analysis, although they are eligible if an employee has paid health insurance through their paycheck. Section 2301(c)(5)(B) of the CARES Act provides that “wages” include amounts paid by an eligible employer to provide and maintain a group health plan (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), but only to the extent that the amounts are excluded from the gross income of employees by reason of section 106(a) of the Code. The Company pays the first $500 of healthcare insurance for each employee, which generally covers the monthly cost of their insurance. Because of this, the Company conservatively did not include any of the cost of insurance in its analysis. Additionally, PPP loan amounts were deducted from the amount of total wages paid before calculating the qualified ERTC wages. The Company applied for the ERTC using Vivos Therapeutics Inc.’s payroll, which covers 95% of its employees.

As indicated above, for 2020, companies were eligible for a credit equal to 50 percent of the first ten thousand dollars of qualified wages paid per employee in the aggregate of each eligible quarter. Therefore, the maximum ERTC for the Company for 2020 is five thousand dollars ($5,000) per employee. For the second and fourth quarters of 2020, the total eligible credit was limited to approximately $0.5 million.

For 2021, the ERTC was 70% of the first ten thousand qualified wages paid per employee each quarter. Accordingly, the credit was limited to approximately $0.7 million. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, the Company accounted for the ERTC by analogy toASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, under ASC 450, entities would treat the ERTCs (whether received in cash or as an offset to current or future payroll taxes) as if they were gain contingencies. When applying ASC 450-30, entities would not consider the probability of complying with the terms of the ERC program but, rather, would defer any recognition in the income statement until all uncertainties are resolved and the income is “realized” or “realizable” (i.e., upon receipt of the funds or formal notice by the IRS that the company is entitled to such funds). In our case, the Company elected to follow a more conservative approach and instead of recognizing a receivable for amounts to be received when the amended tax forms were filed in 2022, it was decided to wait for the notice from IRS and cash was received. As for financial statement presentation, it is believed that either classifying the amounts as a reduction to payroll tax expense (expense off-set is however contrary to U.S. GAAP) or as other income to be acceptable with appropriate disclosure of the election made by the company. However, the IRS issued a renewed warning regarding the ERTC on March 7, 2023 urging taxpayers to carefully review the ERTC guidelines. The Company continues to evaluate additional information from the IRS, and elected to disclose the funds received as a separate line item under long-term liabilities on the balance sheet, until more information becomes available from the IRS. As a result, as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, approximately $1.2 million is reflected under long-term liabilities.

Loss and Gain Contingencies

The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. Alternatively, when no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the lowest amount in the range. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the range of the loss is estimable, then the Company discloses the range of the possible loss. If the Company cannot estimate the range of loss, it will disclose the reason why it cannot estimate the range of loss. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to it to determine whether an accrual is required, an accrual should be adjusted and if a range of possible loss should be disclosed. Legal fees related to contingencies are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred. Contingencies that may result in gains are not recognized until realization is assured, which typically requires collection in cash.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company computes the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected term using the simplified method which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the respective options. The Company determines the expected price volatility based on the historical volatilities of shares of the Company’s peer group as the Company does not have a sufficient trading history for its Common Stock. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the bio-tech industry similar to the Company in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. The Company recognizes the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award, usually the vesting period. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award were, in substance, a single award. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures and cancellations in the period that the forfeiture or cancellation occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for stock-based compensation.

Leases

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, accrued expenses, and operating lease liability - current and non-current portion in our balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires management judgment based on information available at lease commencement. The operating lease ROU assets also include adjustments for prepayments, accrued lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842 that include lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease agreements with a noncancelable term of less than 12 months are not recorded on our balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results, or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The recorded valuation allowance is based on significant estimates and judgments and if the facts and circumstances change, the valuation allowance could materially change. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has agreater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including stock options, convertible debt, Preferred Stock, and warrants, to the extent the same are dilutive.

Warrant Accounting

The Company accounts for its warrants and financial instruments as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument, in accordance withASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Warrants classified as liabilities and other financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and will be revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. Management estimates the fair value of these liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate.

Segment Information

We manage our business within one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Presented below is a discussion of new accounting standards including deadlines for adoption assuming that the Company retains its designation as an EGC.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The standard requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2025 for annual periods and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 for interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

We have reviewed and considered all other recent accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted and believe there are none that could potentially have a material impact on our business practices, financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

NOTE 2 -LIQUIDITY AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, including $5.7 and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $98.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $5.6 and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had total liabilities of approximately $9.5 million.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $6.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which will not be sufficient to fund operations and strategic objectives over the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. Without additional financing, these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Until a state of cash flow positivity is reached, management is reviewing all options to obtain additional financing to fund operations. This financing is expected to come primarily from the issuance of equity securities in order to sustain operations until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. There can be no assurances, however, that adequate additional funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If such funds are not available in the future, the Company may be required to delay, significantly modify or terminate some or all of its operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its stockholders.

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Common Stock Transactions During the Periods Presented

On January 9, 2023, the Company closed a private placement (the “January 2023 Private Placement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 80,000 shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 186,667 shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of approximately $7.4 million. Issuance costs associated with the January 2023 Private Placement were approximately $0.6 million.

On February 28, 2023, the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, patent applications, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from AFD. Pursuant to the asset acquisition, the Company agreed to issue 10,000 shares of Common Stock in addition to cash consideration of $50,000. As a result of this transaction the Company recorded intangible assets of approximately $0.2 million. As part of the associated Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to a future earnout payment consideration based on a sliding-scale percentage on the volume of future sales, as well as a cash payment of $0.2 million upon the achievement of specified milestones. Per the Company’s accounting policy, the contingent consideration obligation will be recorded as the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable.

In addition, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Scott Simonetti, DDS, the founder and Chief Executive Officer of AFD, as part-time Senior Director of Research and Development for an annual salary of approximately $0.1 million and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 16,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $15.25 per share; provided, however, that the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrant are subject to vesting only upon the achievement of specified milestones related to new FDA authorizations for the intangible assets acquired.

As disclosed above, on October 25, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company effected a Reverse Stock Split of its outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-25. As of the Effective Date, every twenty-five shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock was combined into one share of Common Stock. As a result, the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Effective Date was proportionally reduced from approximately 29,928,786 shares to approximately 1,197,258 shares. The ownership percentage of each of the Company’s stockholders remained unchanged, other than as a result of fractional shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders that would hold a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split had such fractional shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans and the Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding equity awards and common stock purchase warrants immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were proportionately adjusted by the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. The exercise prices of such outstanding options and warrants were also adjusted in accordance with their respective terms. The number of authorized shares of common stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

On November 2, 2023, the Company closed a private placement (the “November 2023 Private Placement”) with an institutional investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of $4.0 million of securities in a private placement consisting of (i)130,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 850,393 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, (iii) a five-year Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 980,393 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.83 per share and (iii) an 18-month Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) to purchase up to 980,393 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $3.83 per share. Issuance costs associated with the November 2023 Private Placement were approximately $0.5 million.

In December 2023,437,393 of the 850,393 pre-funded warrants granted on November 2, 2023 were exercised. In January 2024, the remaining 413,000 pre-funded warrants were exercised.

On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant inducement letter agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with the same institutional investor in the November 2023 Private Placement pursuant to which the investor agreed to exercise for cash the entirety of the Series B Warrant at an exercise price of $4.02 per share (with such exercise price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market), resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.0 million. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, in consideration for the immediate exercise of the Series B Warrant in full, the Company agreed to issue to the investor, in a new private placement transaction (the “Inducement Transaction”): (i) a 5-year, Series B-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share, and (ii) an 18-month, Series B-2 common stock purchase warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share (collectively, the “Inducement Warrants” and such aggregate 1,470,592 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants, the “Inducement Warrant Shares”). The Inducement Warrants are identical to each other, other than their dates of expiration, and are substantially identical to the Series B Warrant. Issuance costs associated with the February inducement were approximately $0.3 million.

On June 10, 2024, the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with V-CO Investors LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“V-CO”). V-CO is an affiliate of New Seneca Partners Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Seneca”), a leading independent private equity firm. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company sold to V-CO in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”): (i)169,498 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 3,050,768 shares of Comon Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”, with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant being referred to as the “PFW Shares”), and (iii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 3,220,266 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Warrants”, and with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrant being referred to as the “Warrant Shares”).

V-CO paid a purchase price of $2.329 for each Share and Pre-Funded Warrant Share and associated Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with such price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Private Placement closed on June 10, 2024. The Company received gross proceeds of $7,500,000 from the Private Placement. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general working capital and general corporate purposes. No placement agent was used in connection with the Private Placement. The Common Stock Purchase Warrant has afive year term, an exercise price of $2.204 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrant has a term ending on the complete exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant, an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The Warrants also contain customary stock-based (but not price-based) anti-dilution protection as well as beneficial ownership limitations that may be waived at the option of each holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.

The SPA provides that for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the offering, Seneca shall be entitled to (i) receive notice of any regular or special meeting of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the time such notice is provided to the members of the Board, (ii) receive copies of any materials delivered to the Company’s directors in connection with such meetings and (iii) allow one Seneca representative (who shall be an officer or employee of Seneca) to attend and participate (but not vote) in all such meetings of the Board. The SPA also includes standard representations, warranties, indemnifications, and covenants of the Company and V-CO.

The terms of the SPA require the Company to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the Shares, the PFW Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registerable Securities”) for resale. Such Resale Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on July 30, 2024, and was declared effective by the SEC on August 7, 2024. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company must also use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement or a new registration statement if the Resale Registration Statement expires) for a period of three (3) years after the date of effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement or for such shorter period as such securities no longer constitute Registrable Securities, subject to certain limitations specified in the SPA.

NOTE 9 –STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Stock Options

In 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2017 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2017 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. The Company’s shareholders have approved a total reserve of 53,333 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan.

In April 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2019 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2019 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. The Company’s shareholders originally approved a total reserve of 13,334 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2019 Plan. At each of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2020 and 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by an aggregate of 81,334 shares of Common Stock such that, after such amendments, and prior to any grants,94,667 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance.

On September 22, 2023, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Company common stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the 2019 Plan by 80,000 shares from an aggregate of 94,667 shares to an aggregate of 174,667 shares.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 the Company granted stock options for the purchase of 105,000 and 12,700 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average of $2.38 and $10.25 respectively. Options for the purchase of 4,036 and 20,000 shares of common stock expired as of June 30, 2024, and 2023. The following table summarizes all stock options from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024 (shares in thousands):

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the valuation assumptions for stock options granted under the 2017 Plan and the 2019 Plan were estimated on the date of grant using the BSM option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Based on the assumptions set forth above, the weighted-average grant date fair value per share for stock options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.38.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and for the six months ended July 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense relating to the vesting of stock options. Unrecognized expense relating to these awards as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $1.2 million, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining term of 3.7 years.

Warrants

The following table sets forth activity with respect to the Company’s warrants to purchase Common Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (shares in thousands):

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the valuation assumptions for warrants issued were estimated on the measurement date using the BSM option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

NOTE 10 -RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023,105,000 options were granted to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. No other related-party transactions occurred.

NOTE 11 -INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily due to permanent differences, state taxes and change in valuation allowance. A full valuation allowance was in effect, which resulted in the Company’s zero tax expense.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred since inception. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 to record the deferred tax asset that is not likely to be realized.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgement including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

NOTE 12 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COVID-19 Pandemic

Our business was materially impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 and to some extent thereafter and through the early part of 2023 due to the actions of governmental bodies that mandated quarantines and lockdowns that resulted in many of our VIPs and potential VIPs having to close their offices. The impact of COVID-19 on our business diminished somewhat as 2023 progressed. However, the residual effects of the pandemic on dental workforce availability as well as patient precautionary measures continued to negatively impact our VIP dental practices and our revenue across the U.S. and Canada during 2022 and into 2023. We believe new enrollments during at least the first half of 2023 continued to be negatively impacted by the ongoing overall workforce uncertainties in the dental market. Thus far in 2024, we do not believe COVID-19 issues are impacting our business in any material way. We continue to monitor the overall landscape of potential viral or other diseases which may pose a threat, and we will respond appropriately should any such threats materialize.

Inflation, the War in Ukraine and Middle East Hostilities

The Company believes that as the U.S. experiences a persistent and protracted period of inflation, which has increased (and may continue to increase), the Company and its suppliers’ costs as well as the end cost of the Company’s products to consumers may also increase. In the early part of 2024, there is considerable economic and capital markets uncertainty arising out of several global factors, including but not limited to, Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, the Hamas attacks on Israel in October of 2023, Israel’s response to those attacks, and social unrest and protests on university campuses have emerged as new barriers to both near and long-term economic recovery.

If an economic recession or depression commences and is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business as demand for our products could decrease. To date, the Company has been able to manage inflation risk without a material adverse impact on its business or results of operations. However, inflationary pressures (including increases in the price of raw material components of the Company’s appliances) made it necessary for the Company to adjust its standard pricing for its appliance products effective May 1, 2022, and we may have to do so again in 2024. The full impact of such price adjustments on sales or demand for the Company’s products is not fully known at this time and may require the Company to adjust other aspects of its business as it seeks to grow revenue and, ultimately, achieve profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

An additional inflation-related risk is the Federal Reserve’s response, which up to this point has been mainly to raise interest rates. Such actions have, in times past, created unintended consequences in terms of the impact on housing starts, overall manufacturing, capital markets, and banking. If such disruptions become systemic, like in the recession of 2008, then the impact on the Company’s revenue, earnings potential and access to capital of both inflation and inflation-fighting responses would be impossible to know or calculate.

These conditions could cause an economic recession or depression to commence, and if such recession or depression is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business as demand for its products could decrease. Such conditions have also had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on the capital markets, with public stock price decreases and volatility, which could make it more difficult for the Company to raise needed capital at the appropriate time.

Operating Leases

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for certain offices, medical facilities and training facilities. These leases have original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2029. Most leases include an option to renew, and the exercise of a lease renewal option typically occurs at the discretion of both parties. For the purpose of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms are deemed not to include options to extend the lease until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

In January 2017, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 2,220 square feet of office in Johnstown, Colorado that was to commence on March 1, 2018 and end February 28, 2025. As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of $0.3 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 6.0%.

In May 2018, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 3,643 square feet of office in Highlands Ranch, Colorado that was to commence on November 1, 2018 and end on January 1, 2029. As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of $0.8 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 7.3%.

In October 2020, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 4,800 square feet of office in Orem, Utah that was to commence on January 1, 2021 and end on December 1, 2025. As of January 1, 2022, the Company recorded an operating lease right of use asset and lease liabilities of $0.6 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 6.6%.

In April 2019, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 3,231 square feet of office in Highlands Ranch, Colorado that was to commence on May 1, 2019 and end on May 31, 2022.

NOTE 13 -NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock (“EPS”) is computed by dividing (i) net loss (the “Numerator”), by (ii) the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period (the “Denominator”).

The calculation of diluted EPS is also required to include the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, convertible debt and Preferred Stock, and other Common Stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method, in order to compute the weighted average number of shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, all Common Stock equivalents were antidilutive.

Presented below are the calculations of the Numerators and the Denominators for basic and diluted EPS (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the following potential Common Stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of Common Stock since the impact of inclusion was antidilutive (in thousands):

NOTE 14 -FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the measurement of fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date

Level 2 - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly through market collaboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

As discussed in Note 8, on January 9, 2023, the Company closed on the November 2023 Private Placement for the sale by the Company of shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of pre-funded warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 186,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and the issuance of warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $30 per share. The warrants are initially exercisable commencing January 9, 2023 through their expiration date of July 9, 2028. In addition, as part of the November 2023 Private Placement, we agreed to amend the existing outstanding common stock purchase warrant held by the purchaser and issued in January 2023 to purchase up to an aggregate of 266,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $30.00 per share with an expiration date of July 5, 2028. Such amendment, which became effective upon the closing of the November 2023 Private Placement, reduced the exercise price of the January warrant to $3.83 per share and extended the expiration date of such warrant to November 2, 2028. The amendment also restated in its entirety the definition of “Black Scholes Value” contained in the January warrant which resulted in the classification of the warrant from liability to equity. The liability associated with those warrants was initially recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon issuance, and subsequently re-measured as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and November 2, 2023 when the November 2023 Private Placement closed. The changes in the fair value between issuance, the March 31, 2023 measurement date, the June 30, 2023 measurement date, the September 30, 2023, and the November 2, 2023 measurement date are recorded as a component of other income (expense), in the consolidated statement of operations.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. The Company concluded that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement, met the definition of a liability underASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and classified the liability as Level 3. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 or Level 2, and had a warranty liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) of approximately $2.2 million.

The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 the Company had no transfers of its assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Significant Concentrations

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions, the balances of which frequently exceed federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of these financial institutions and believes the Company’s risk is negligible. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. If any of the financial institutions with whom the Company does business was to be placed into receivership, the Company may be unable to access the cash they have on deposit with such institutions. If the Company were unable to access cash and cash equivalents as needed, the financial position and ability to operate the business could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions in the United States with an aggregate balance of $6.9 million.

Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographies and industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on certain customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. No single customer represented more than 10% of our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024. The Company maintains reserves for potential bad debts.

Supplier Concentration

As previously disclosed, the Company relies on third-party suppliers and contract manufacturers for the raw materials and components used in our appliances and to manufacture and assemble our products. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had five suppliers that accounted for approximately 80% of the Company’s total purchases during the year. The Company expects to maintain existing relationships with these vendors.

NOTE 15 –SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As previously reported, on May 16, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million (the “Equity Requirement”). On June 25, 2024, the Company reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K that it believed it had stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million as of the date of the filing of such report as a result of the Company’s closing of a $7.5 million equity private placement on June 10, 2024.

On June 27, 2024, the Company met with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to discuss the Company’s past, current, and anticipated future compliance with the Equity Requirement, and requested the continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq. On July 5, 2024, the Company was notified that the Panel had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, with the SEC by August 15, 2024, evidencing the Company’s compliance with the Equity Requirement. The Company is working diligently to ensure its continued compliance with the Equity Requirement, including exploring a potential additional equity capital financing or financings to stay above the minimum threshold of the Equity Requirement. The Company anticipates that its previously disclosed strategic marketing and distribution alliance will also positively impact the Company’s revenue growth and stockholders’ equity in upcoming fiscal quarters. However, there is a risk that the Company will be unable to raise sufficient capital or generate sufficient revenue or operating results to maintain compliance with the Equity Requirement. If the Company fails to achieve ongoing compliance and its common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, such delisting would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s stock price, the ability of its stockholders to buy or sell their common stock, the ability of the Company to raise capital and on the Company’s reputation, all of which could make it significantly more difficult to operate the Company.
