SONOMA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization and Recent Developments

 

Organization

 

Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in April 1999 and was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in December 2006. The Company’s principal office was moved to Woodstock, Georgia from Petaluma, California in June 2020. The Company is a global healthcare leader for developing and producing stabilized hypochlorous acid (“HOCl”) products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, animal health care, eye care, oral care, nasal care and dermatological conditions. The Company’s products reduce infections, itch, pain, scarring and harmful inflammatory responses in a safe and effective manner. In-vitro and clinical studies of HOCl show it to have impressive antipruritic, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. The Company’s stabilized HOCl immediately relieves itch and pain, kills pathogens and breaks down biofilm, does not sting or irritate skin and oxygenates the cells in the area treated assisting the body in its natural healing process. The Company sells its products either directly or via partners in 53 countries worldwide.

 

Impact of Coronavirus

 

The spread of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has affected many segments of the global economy, including the pharmaceutical industry. The COVID-19 outbreak, which the World Health Organization has classified as a pandemic, has prompted governments and regulatory bodies throughout the world to enact broad precautionary measures, including “stay-at-home” orders, restrictions on the performance of “non-essential” services, public gatherings and travel. Health systems, including key markets where the Company operates, have been, or may be, overwhelmed with high volumes of patients suffering from COVID-19.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, the extent to which it will impact worldwide macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, employment rates and health insurance coverage, the speed of the anticipated recovery, access to capital markets, and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020 and through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, inventory obsolescence, and supplier agreements. The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in additional material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

 

Despite the Company’s efforts, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 depends on factors beyond the Company’s knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. As a result, the Company is unable to estimate the extent to which COVID-19 will negatively impact its financial results or liquidity.

Reverse Stock Split

 

Effective June 19, 2019, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Every nine shares of common stock were reclassified and combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, each resulting fractional share of common stock was down to one whole share and each fractional share settled with cash. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding from 11,972,328 to 1,328,891. The total number of authorized shares of common stock was not proportionally decreased and the par value per share of the common stock continues to be $0.0001.

 

All common shares and per share amounts contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 1-for-9 reverse stock split.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the three and six months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2021 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on July 10, 2020.

 

Note 2. Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

The Company reported a net income of $120,000 and $360,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company’s accumulated deficit amounted to $171,886,000 and $172,246,000, respectively. The Company had working capital of $11,698,000 and $7,518,000 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

 

On June 24, 2020, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Micromed Laboratories division and testing facility, including all of Micromed’s assets, such as testing equipment, certain office furniture and customer list, with Infinity Labs SD Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $850,000. On the closing date, the Company received $610,000 in cash from this sale which was adjusted for working capital, a credit of $100,000 for future testing services from Infinity over the next two years in lieu of cash, and $60,000 held in escrow for one year, subject to adjustment for certain indemnity claims or purchase price adjustments. The Company also retained its accounts receivables outstanding on the date of closing in the amount of approximately $81,000 and an insignificant amount of liabilities. As part of the transaction, Infinity also assumed the Petaluma lease for the office and lab space. The Company retained the warehouse space to store inventory and assets until September 30, 2020.

On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,310,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), from Coastal States Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, “CARES Act”, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight or 24 weeks as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the Company terminates employees or reduce salaries during the applicable period.

 

The unsecured loan, which is in the form of a note dated April 29, 2020, matures on April 29, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 29, 2020. The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Company has used the loan amount for eligible purposes, such as payroll expenses. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, it cannot assure that it will be eligible for forgiveness, in whole or in part. Whether any amount will be forgiven has not been determined yet.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $429,000 from the exercise of stock options by employees and consultants.

 

On May 29, June 1 and 2, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $1,490,000 from the exercise of November 2018 common stock purchase warrants by several investors.

 

Management believes that the Company has access to additional capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that other new financings will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed. If the economic climate in the U.S. deteriorates, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital could be negatively impacted. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in the Company’s continued efforts to commercialize its products, which is critical to the realization of its business plan and the future operations of the Company. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, fair value allocation of assets sold to Invekra, Petagon, Microsafe and the estimated amortization periods of upfront product licensing fees received from customers. Periodically, the Company evaluates and adjusts estimates accordingly.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

The Company computes basic net income (loss) per share by dividing net income per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when the entity transfers promised goods or services to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under the agreement, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

 

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from its distributor relationships. The Company also sells products to a customer base including hospitals, medical centers, doctors, pharmacies, wholesalers and directly to end users. The Company also has entered into agreements to license its technology and products.

 

The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which are distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which it expects to be entitled.

 

For all of its sales to non-consignment distribution channels, revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e. when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs when title passes to the customer upon shipment but could occur when the customer receives the product based on the terms of the agreement with the customer.  For product sales to its value-added resellers, non-stocking distributors and end-user customers, the Company grants return privileges to its customers and the Company has a long history with its customers and is able to estimate the amount of product that will be returned.  Sales incentives and other programs that the Company may make available to these customers are considered to be a form of variable consideration and the Company maintains estimated accruals and allowances using the expected value method.

 

The Company has entered into consignment arrangements in which goods are left in the possession of another party to sell. As products are sold from the customer to third parties, the Company recognizes revenue based on a variable percentage of a fixed price.  Revenue recognized varies based on if a patient is covered by insurance or is not covered by insurance. In addition, the Company may incur a revenue deduction related to the use of the Company’s rebate program.

 

Sales to stocking distributors are made under terms with fixed pricing and limited rights of return (known as “stock rotation”) of the Company’s products held in their inventory. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon the transfer of control to the distributor.

 

The Company assessed the promised goods and services in the technical support to Invekra for a ten-year period as being a distinct service that Invekra can benefit from on its own and is separately identifiable from any other promises within the contract. Given that the distinct service is not substantially the same as other goods and services within the Invekra contract, the Company accounted for the distinct service as a performance obligation.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The following table presents the Company’s disaggregated revenues by revenue source:

 

(In thousands)  Three Months Ended September 30,   Six Months Ended September 30 
Product  2020   2019   2020   2019 
Human Care  $4,776   $3,801   $10,094   $7,772 
Animal Care   951    912    1,388    1,325 
Other   42    14    54    124 
   $5,769   $4,727   $11,536   $9,221

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for cash discounts for prompt payment, doubtful accounts, and sales returns. Estimates for cash discounts and sales returns are based on analysis of contractual terms and historical trends.

 

The Company’s policy is to reserve for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Other factors that the Company considers include its existing contractual obligations, historical payment patterns of its customers and individual customer circumstances, an analysis of days sales outstanding by customer and geographic region, and a review of the local economic environment and its potential impact on government funding and reimbursement practices. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents probable credit losses of $52,000 and $1,028,000 at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Additionally, at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Company has allowances of $2,275,000 and $1,230,000, respectively, related to potential discounts, returns, distributor fees and rebates. The allowances are included in Accounts Receivable, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, cost being determined on a standard cost basis (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis), or net realizable value.

 

Due to changing market conditions, estimated future requirements, age of the inventories on hand and production of new products, the Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision to write down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The Company recorded a provision to reduce the carrying amounts of inventories to their net realizable value in the amount of $757,000 and $600,000 at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, which is included in cost of product revenues on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. (See Note 13)

 

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“Topic 740”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within Topic 740 and clarifies certain other aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 on a prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB, the SEC or other standard setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 4. Discontinued Operations: Sale of Assets to Infinity Labs SD, Inc.

 

On June 24, 2020, the Company closed on an asset purchase agreement for the sale of its Micromed Laboratories division and testing facility, including all of Micromed’s assets, such as testing equipment, certain office furniture and customer list, with Infinity Labs SD Inc. (“Infinity”) for an aggregate purchase price of $850,000. On the closing date, the Company received $610,000 in cash from this sale which was adjusted for working capital, a credit of $100,000 for future testing services from Infinity over the next two years in lieu of cash, and $60,000 held in escrow for one year, subject to adjustment for certain indemnity claims or purchase price adjustments. The Company also retained its accounts receivables outstanding on the date of closing in the amount of approximately $81,000 and an insignificant amount of liabilities. As part of the transaction, Infinity also assumed the Petaluma lease for the office and lab space. The Company retained the warehouse space to store inventory and assets until September 30, 2020.

 

Accounting for the disposition

 

For accounting purposes, the Company determined that there was only one discrete component of the sale to Infinity. This component was the customer base and related services to be provided.

 

Component of Sale Methodology to Estimate Selling Price
Customer Base Based upon revenues expected from a market participant to provide technical services at expected service levels

 

The Company determined an arm’s length selling price for each component of the sale and then allocated the net proceeds received to the components on a relative selling price basis. The Company estimated the selling prices of each component as described below:

 

Proceeds were allocated to the components of the sale based upon their relative selling prices are as follows:

 

Customer base  $850,000 
Less: Funds remaining in escrow   (60,000)
Less: Services due from buyer   (100,000)
Less: Working capital adjustment   (80,000)
Total proceeds  $610,000 

 

Discontinued operations

 

As of June 24, 2020, the Company determined that the sale of its Micromed division to Infinity qualified as a sale of a component of its business and, as such, all such activity prior to consummation of the sale is required to be included in discontinued operations on the Company’s statement of operations.

Note 7. Debt

 

On May 1, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,310,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), from Coastal States Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, “CARES Act”, provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight or 24 weeks as long as the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the Company terminates employees or reduce salaries during the applicable period. Whether any amount will be forgiven has not been determined yet.

 

The unsecured loan, which is in the form of a note dated April 29, 2020, matures on April 29, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 29, 2020. The note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Company used the loan amount for eligible purposes, such as payroll expenses. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, it cannot assure that it will be eligible for forgiveness, in whole or in part.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants.

Note 10. Income Taxes

 

The Company only recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. To date, the Company has not recognized such tax benefits in its consolidated financial statements.

 

On March 27, 2020 Congress approved and the President signed the CARES Act. The Cares Act is an emergency economic stimulus package in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which among other things contains numerous tax provisions. The Company considered the various potential income tax provisions and deemed there were no material impacts to its income tax provision at September 30, 2020.

 

The Company does not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits will increase or decrease within twelve months of March 31, 2020. The unrecognized tax benefits may increase or change during the next year for items that arise in the ordinary course of business.

Our Business

 

We are a global healthcare leader for developing and producing stabilized hypochlorous acid, or HOCl, products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, animal health care, eye care, nasal care, oral care and dermatological conditions. Our products reduce infections, itch, pain, scarring and harmful inflammatory responses in a safe and effective manner. In-vitro and clinical studies of HOCl show it to have impressive antipruritic, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Our stabilized HOCl immediately relieves itch and pain, kills pathogens and breaks down biofilm, does not sting or irritate skin and oxygenates the cells in the area treated assisting the body in its natural healing process. We also manufacture disinfectants that are distributed outside of the U.S. and in certain countries we have received regulatory clearance to state the disinfectant kills the coronavirus causing COVID-19. We sell our products either directly or via partners in 53 countries worldwide.

Some of our key business areas in the United States are:

 

  · U.S. HOCl-based dermatology products: We offer a wide variety of prescription HOCl based products that treat many skin conditions and diseases. These products are based on our proprietary stabilized hypochlorous acid, or HOCl, solutions. These products include:

 

  - Celacyn®, a prescription HOCl-based scar management gel clinically proven to soften and flatten raised scars while reducing redness and discoloration.
  - LevicynTM, a prescription HOCl-based atopic dermatitis product line clinically proven to reduce pruritus (itch) and pain associated with various dermatoses.

  · Advanced Tissue Care: We sell Microcyn®, primarily to hospitals, under a variety of brand names, a line of products based on electrically charged oxychlorine small molecules designed to target a wide range of pathogens including viruses, fungi, spores and bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
     
  · Animal Health Care: We sell our non-prescription-based HOCl products into the animal health care markets through our partner Manna Products LLC, including national pet-store retail chains, farm animal specialty stores, farm animal veterinarians, grocery stores and mass retailers in the United States and Canada.

 

Our key products outside the United States are:

 

  · Microcyn® or Microdacyn60® (sold under a variety of brand names, such as Dermacyn, MicrocynAH), a line of products based on electrically charged oxychlorine small molecules designed to target a wide range of pathogens including viruses, fungi, spores and bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
     
  · Hard-Surface Disinfectants, sold under a variety of brand names, such as Nanocyn® sold by the Microsafe Group, Dubai and Dermodacyn® Disinfecting solution, a medical grade solution manufactured by us with our HOCl technology and sold by our partner MicroDerm Technologies Limited in Hong Kong. These disinfectants are intended for the sterilization of hard surfaces, submerging of medical devices and fumigation of air spaces. It is non-corrosive, non-toxic and eliminates viruses, fungi and bacteria.

  

  · Eye Hygiene: Ocudox™, is an electrolyzed HOCl-based solution intended to aid in the treatment and symptoms of blepharitis on the eyelid. Ocudox is used for cleansing the lids, lashes, and periocular skin of debris and microorganisms, which can cause irritation, and ocular surface disease.

Business Channels

 

Our core market differentiation is based on being the leading developer and producer of stabilized hypochlorous acid, or HOCl, solutions. Unlike many of our competitors, we have been in business for 20 years and in that time, we have developed significant scientific knowledge of how best to develop and manufacture HOCl products backed by decades of studies and data collection. HOCl is known to be among the safest and most-effective ways to relieve itch, inflammation and burns while stimulating natural healing through increased oxygenation and eliminating persistent microorganisms and biofilms.

 

Our core U.S. market includes patients who suffer from various skin diseases, including dermatoses, acne, scarring, skin-barrier and scaly skin conditions. Our secondary U.S. market includes eye-hygiene and acute care markets. These conditions impact patients worldwide who have had to live with less than optimal solutions or ones that come with significant side-effects. Skin conditions can have significant, multi-dimensional effects on quality of life, including on patient’s physical, functional and emotional well-being.

 

Dermatology

 

In the United States, we sell our prescription and over-the-counter products into dermatology markets with an in-house sales team supported by a call center that visits or calls dermatologists. We also promote our products at conferences and with individual doctors. Our dermatology products are primarily purchased by distributors, wholesalers, and pharmacies.

 

Although specific customer requirements can vary depending on applications, customers generally demand quality, innovation, affordability and clinically-supported efficacy. We have responded to these customer demands by introducing products that treat persistent and common dermatological afflictions, as well as promote healing and improve results for patients opting for cosmetic dermatology procedures. We are strategically focused on introducing innovative new products that are supported by human clinical data with applications that address specific dermatological procedures currently in demand. In addition, we look for markets where we can provide effective product line extensions and pricing to new product families.

 

Eye Care and Advanced Tissue Care

 

Our eye care and advanced tissue care products provide patients similar benefits to those in dermatology. In the United States, we support the eye care and advanced tissue care markets with a dedicated in-house sales force and through an inside call center. We have also entered into strategic partnerships with respected and influential physicians and surgeons to promote our products. Our eye care products include prescription and dispensing solutions prescribed mainly by ophthalmologists and optometrists supported by pharmacies and, in some cases, sold through wholesale networks. Our tissue care products are primarily purchased by hospitals, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners.

 

Animal Health Care

 

Our animal healthcare products provide similar benefits to those in human dermatology. For our animal health products sold in the U.S. and Canada, we partnered with Manna Pro Products, LLC to bring relief to pets and peace of mind to their owners. Manna Pro distributes non-prescription products to national pet-store retail chains, farm animal specialty stores, farm animal veterinarians, grocery stores and mass retailers in the United States and Canada.

 

For the Asian and European markets we partner with Petagon, Limited, an international importer and distributor of quality pet food and products. On May 20, 2019, we entered into an agreement with Petagon to supply products to Petagon for five years at agreed upon transfer prices. On August 3, 2020, Petagon received a license from the People’s Republic of China for the import of veterinary drug products manufactured by us. This is the highest classification Petagon and Sonoma can receive for animal health products in China.

Disinfectants

 

In-vitro and clinical studies of HOCl show it to have impressive antipruritic, antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, a product manufactured by us and sold to MicroSafe Group, Dubai, Nanocyn® Disinfectant & Sanitizer, received approval to be entered into the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, or ARTG, as well as in Canada, for use against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Claims that a disinfectant has a virucidal effect must be expressly permitted by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration before being used in consumer advertising or on the label in Australia. Furthermore, a joint study by the University of Hong Kong and Queen Mary Hospital using Dermodacyn® Disinfecting solution, a medical grade solution manufactured by us with our HOCl technology and sold by our partner MicroDerm Technologies Limited in Hong Kong, was just published in the Journal of Hospital Infection. (Journal of Hospital Infection 106 (2020) pages 226-231). The study showed that Dermodacyn® Disinfecting solution drastically reduced the viability of SARS-CoV-2 against other commonly used laboratory and domestic disinfectants.

 

On July 31, 2020, we partnered with MicroSafe Group to seek regulatory approval in the United States to sell hard surface disinfectants in the United States. To date we have not received any such regulatory approval.

 

International

 

We sell products internationally through a worldwide distributor network in 53 countries. In these international markets, we have a network of partners, ranging from country specific distributors to large pharmaceutical companies to full-service sales and marketing companies.

 

We work with our international partners to create products they can market in their home country or mutually agreed territories. Some products we develop and manufacture are private label while others use branding we have already developed. We have created or co-developed a wide range of products for international markets using our core HOCl technology. These products include consumer targeted products such as wound care, baby wash, eye care and acne treatments. We also manufacture disinfectants for distribution in certain countries.

 

In Europe, we rely on agreements with country-specific distributors for the sale of advanced tissue care and wound care products into 27 countries, including Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Spain, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, Finland, Denmark, Montenegro and Serbia.

 

Through our partner Microsafe Group DMCC, Dubai, we sell hard surface disinfectant products into Europe, the Middle East and Australia. On September 17, 2020, we announced that we have received regulatory clearance to sell disinfectant products in Canada.

 

On May 19, 2020, we entered into a new license and distribution agreement with our existing partner, Brill International S.L. for our Microdacyn60® Eye Care product based on our patented Microcyn® Technology. Under the new license and distribution agreement, Brill has the right to market and distribute our eye care product under the private label Ocudox™ in Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France, and the United Kingdom for a period of 10 years, subject to meeting annual minimum sales quantities. In return, Brill will pay us a one-time fee on April 1, 2021 and the agreed upon supply prices. Previously, under the old license and distribution agreement dated August 1, 2018, Brill marketed our eye care product only in Spain and Portugal.

 

Mexico

 

On October 27, 2016, we sold certain parts of our Latin American business to Invekra S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer, for an aggregate purchase price of U.S. $22 million, with the ability of Invekra to set up its own manufacturing using some of our know-how and technology. The agreement obligated us to provide manufacturing for Invekra at reduced prices. Such agreement ended on October, 27, 2020. We anticipate that we will continue to manufacture for Invekra through December 2020. After that time, we expect Invekra to commence its own manufacturing although we may continue to provide manufacturing support at prices commensurate with the market. As we make this transition, we expect that our overall revenues from Invekra will decrease while our margins will increase.

Results of Continuing Operations

 

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenue 

 

The following tables shows our consolidated revenue and revenue by geographic region for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

 

  

Three Months Ended

September 30,

         
(In thousands)  2020   2019   $ Change   % Change 
United States  $1,984   $2,209   $(225)   (10)% 
Latin America   2,024    948    1,076    114 % 
Europe and Rest of the World   1,761    1,570    191    12 % 
Total  $5,769   $4,727   $1,042    22 % 

 

 

  

Six Months Ended

September 30,

         
(In thousands)  2020   2019   $ Change   % Change 
United States  $3,605   $4,696   $(1,091)   (23)% 
Latin America   4,350    1,712    2,638    154 % 
Europe and Rest of the World   3,581    2,813    768    27 % 
Total  $11,536   $9,221   $2,315    25 % 

 

The decrease in United States revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year of $225,000 and $1,091,000, respectively, was primarily the result of a decrease in dermatology revenue as the result of COVID-19 effects and due to restructuring of our sales team in response to COVID-19. Acute care products was down slightly in revenue from prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we saw a slight decline in U.S. animal care revenue versus prior year. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, animal care revenue increased slightly versus the prior year.

As a result of the asset purchase agreement and arrangement we entered into on October 27, 2016 with Invekra, we were obligated to supply Invekra with product at a reduced price through October 27, 2020. We have orders from Invekra through December 2020 and we expect those orders to decline after that as Invekra transitions to their own manufacturing. We anticipate that we will continue to manufacture for Invekra after December 2020 only in small amounts as overflow manufacturing. However, we will charge market prices for manufacturing after October 27, 2020. The increase in Latin America revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year periods was the result of large products orders from Invekra at cost prior to the contract expiration. We expect that once Invekra starts manufacturing on their own that revenues in Latin America will drop significantly in future periods.

 

The increase in Europe and Rest of the World revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year was the result of increases in Europe and the Middle East partially offset by decreases in Asia and New Zealand.

 

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Gross Profit as a % of Revenue   41%    48%    (7)%      

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, gross margins decreased by 3% from 2019 as a result of the product mix sold. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, gross margins decreased by 7% as a result of a larger share of low-margin Invekra sales compared to our total sales. We expect profit margins to improve in the future as a result of Invekra starting their own manufacturing in December 2020 combined with higher prices on Invekra sales and due to the closure of our Petaluma facility and moving all manufacturing to our Mexican facility.

Research and Development Expense as a % of Revenue   3%    7%    (4)%      

 

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, research and development expenses decreased as a result of the restructuring and closure of our research and development facility in Seattle, Washington to relocate it to our facility in Mexico. The credit balance of research and development expenses is due to true-up of expenses related to moving the Seattle facility.

We expect revenues to fluctuate and may incur losses in the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. We expect our service revenues will be negligible going forward due to the sale of our Micromed laboratories division and the completion of Invekra’s manufacturing facility.

Management believes that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means; however, we cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If the economic climate in the U.S. deteriorates, our ability to raise additional capital could be negatively impacted. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve our cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet our obligations. These measures could cause significant delays in our continued efforts to commercialize our products, which is critical to the realization of our business plan and our future operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We currently forecast capital expenditures in order to execute on our business plan and maintain growth; however, the actual amount and timing of such capital expenditures will ultimately be determined by the volume of business.  We currently do not anticipate that a material amount will be purchased for the year ended March 31, 2021. If we purchase capital equipment we expect to pay cash for those expenditures or to finance them through equipment leases. 

 

Material Trends and Uncertainties

 

We continue to monitor our U.S. dermatology business. We sell our U.S. dermatology products partially through a direct sales force that meets face to face with prescribers and other customers. During the extended lock-downs and shelter-in-place restrictions ranging from March 2020 through May 2020, our U.S. dermatology sales slowed substantially as doctors closed their offices for face to face meetings. In response to this challenge, we furloughed or laid off certain sales staff to conserve our cash and liquidity. U.S. dermatology revenues stayed at a reduced rate through September 2020 and because of the COVID-19 pandemic and he overall slowing of the economy. We don’t know how the pandemic will impact sales in the future. We continue to explore alternative ways of selling our U.S. dermatology products, including through third party distributors.

 

Healthcare providers and insurers heavily influence the price patients pay for our products. Generally, insurers cover a lower percentage of our products compared to other medical products making our products seem relatively more expensive than other medical care. As a result, to remain competitive, we offer rebates on our products directly to patients. Most patients use these rebates to make our products more affordable. While we believe these rebates are necessary for many patients to buy our products and without them our revenues would likely decline, the impact of rebates on our bottom line has been significant.

 

We continue to work with healthcare providers, insurers, third-party payors, pharmacies and others to manage pricing of our products to the consumer and to reduce the impact of rebates on our overall revenue. However, there is no guarantee we will be successful in reducing patient rebate use. Additionally, the legal landscape in healthcare is constantly changing. Adoption of new legislation at the federal or state level could further affect demand for, or pricing of, our products. For example, we face uncertainties due to federal legislative and administrative efforts to repeal, substantially modify or invalidate some or all of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, which could leave more patients without insurance coverage, which, in turn, could reduce the price patients are willing to pay for our products if they must bear the entire cost.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue from sales to our Latin America partner Invekra amounted to approximately 35% and 20% of our revenues, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively these sales to Invekra amounted to approximately 37% and 17% of our revenues, respectively. Our agreement with Invekra obligated us to provide manufacturing for Invekra at reduced prices until October, 27, 2020. We anticipate that we will continue to manufacture for Invekra through December 2020. After that time, we expect Invekra to commence its own manufacturing although we may continue to provide manufacturing support at prices commensurate with the market. As we make this transition, we expect our overall revenues from Invekra will decrease while our margins will increase. However, we expect that our future overall revenues from Latin American sales will be substantially reduced.

 

Furthermore, our service revenues will decrease substantially due to the sale of our Micromed laboratories division and the completion of Invekra’s manufacturing facility.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, debt discounts, valuation of investments and the estimated amortization periods of upfront product licensing fees received from customers.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

  

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020. We concluded this because of the errors we found in the Form 10-Q filing from June 30, 2020 that were restated in our 10-Q/A that was filed on November 17, 2020. We have determined that there were inadequate spreadsheet controls, a lack of separation of duties with preparation and review of the reported numbers, and inadequate analysis of revenue reporting among other things.

 

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Management’s Remediation Measures

 

Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, is actively engaged in remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses identified in the management’s evaluation of internal controls and procedures. Management has taken a number of actions to remediate the material weaknesses described above, including the following:

 

  ·   Improved monitoring and risk assessment activities to address these control deficiencies.
  ·   Hired a new full time Chief Financial Officer in September 2020 and a new corporate controller in October 2020 to replace the transitionary staff in place while we moved our corporate offices from Petaluma, CA to Woodstock, GA.
  ·   Separated the preparation of the financial reports from review of the financial reports.
  ·   Implemented additional process-level controls over revenue recognition of new contracts.
  ·   Developed and delivered further internal controls training to individuals associated with these control deficiencies and enhance training provided to all personnel who have financial reporting or internal control responsibilities in these areas. The training will include a review of individual roles and responsibilities related to internal controls, proper oversight and reemphasize the importance of completing the control procedures.

 

These improvements are targeted at strengthening the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and remediating the material weaknesses. We remain committed to an effective internal control environment and management believes that these actions and the improvements management expects to achieve as a result, will effectively remediate the material weaknesses. However, the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing that these controls operate effectively. As of the date of filing this Form 10-Q, management is in the process of testing and evaluating these additional controls to determine whether they are operating effectively.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses discussed above were subsequently identified and will result in future mitigation activities.

PART II - OTH.ER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On occasion, we may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of comprehensive loss.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC July 10, 2020.

 

Our U.S. dermatology sales have been and continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting strain on the economy.

 

We sell our U.S. dermatology products partially through a direct sales force that meets face to face with prescribers and other customers. As states began to shut down in March 2020 through May 2020, our U.S. dermatology sales showed substantially as doctors closed their offices for face to face meetings. In response to this challenge, we furloughed or laid off certain sales staff to conserve our cash and liquidity. U.S. dermatology revenues stayed at a reduced rate through April and May 2020, increasing somewhat in June 2020 as states have reopened. However, U.S. dermatology sales through September 30, 2020, are still lower than compared to the same period in 2019. We don’t know how the pandemic will impact sales in we future. We believe this is due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall economy. If we do not increase our U.S. dermatology sales, our ability to generate revenue may be diminished. This could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, financial position, cash flows and results of operations,

 

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

 

We did not issue any unregistered equity securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

 

Item 3. Default Upon Senior Securities

 

We did not default upon any senior securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

During the process of the review of the financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2020 we determined that there were material errors with the financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and that they could no longer be relied upon by the users of the financial statements. As a result, on November 17, 2020 we filed an 8-K disclosing that fact and also filed a 10-Q/A on the same day restating the results for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The numbers for the six months ended September 30, 2020 contained in this filing have been adjusted and the errors have been corrected.
