Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts and number of lasers)
(unaudited)

Note 1
The Company:
 
Background
STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is a medical technology company in dermatology dedicated to developing, commercializing and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions. Its products include the XTRAC® and Pharos® excimer lasers and VTRAC® lamp systems utilized in the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo and various other skin conditions. In January 2022, the Company acquired the TheraClear Acne Therapy System to broaden its opportunities with expansion potential in the acne care market. The Company markets the device under the brand name TheraClear® X.
 
The XTRAC is an ultraviolet light excimer laser system utilized to treat psoriasis, vitiligo and other skin diseases. The XTRAC excimer laser system received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in 2000. As of March 31, 2024, there were 907 XTRAC systems placed in dermatologists’ offices in the United States and 45 systems internationally under the Company’s recurring revenue business model. The XTRAC systems deployed under the recurring revenue model generate revenue on a per procedure basis or include a fixed payment over an agreed upon period with a capped number of treatments which, if exceeded, would incur additional fees. The per-procedure charge is inclusive of the use of the system and the services provided by the Company to the customer, which includes system maintenance and other services. The VTRAC Excimer Lamp system, offered in addition to the XTRAC system internationally, provides targeted therapeutic efficacy demonstrated by excimer technology with a lamp system.
 
The Pharos excimer laser system holds FDA clearance to treat chronic skin diseases, including psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis and leukoderma.

The TheraClear® Acne Therapy System (“TheraClear”) combines intense pulse light with vacuum (suction) for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne (including acne vulgaris), comedonal acne and pustular acne.
 
Since 2019, the Company has been transitioning its international dermatology procedures equipment sales through its master distributor to a direct distribution model for equipment sales and recurring revenue on a country-by-country basis. The Company has signed distributor contracts by year as follows: 2019 – Korea, 2020 – Japan, 2021 – China, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Jordan, Iraq and 2023 – Mexico, India.

Post-COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March 2020, the global pandemic related to a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has negatively impacted business conditions in the industry in which the Company operates, disrupted global supply chains, constrained workforce participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The pandemic led to the suspension of elective procedures in the U.S. and to the temporary closure of many physician practices, which are the Company’s primary customers. While most physician offices have reopened, some of the Company’s partner physician practices closed permanently. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants have negatively impacted the Company’s operational and financial performance, including its ability to execute its business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frames and those of its primary customers. It has also negatively impacted the Company’ supply chains and transport, customer behavior and staffing.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War
Prior to the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine was the largest exporter of noble gases including neon, krypton, and xenon and has historically been the source of a significant amount of gas supplied to the Company by its contract suppliers. Neon gas is essential to the proper functioning of the Company’s lasers. The Company’s suppliers have been resourceful in continuing to supply gases to the Company but cannot assure the Company that the supply will remain uninterrupted. The reduced supply and ongoing conflict have also impacted the price of gas worldwide. Additionally, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 has led to a further tightening of rare gas supplies as semiconductor chip manufacturers reconfigure their supply chains to address the need to secure their own supplies of rare gases for use in the manufacture of computer chips.

Impact of Israel-Hamas Conflict
The Company has not seen an impact on its distributors’ businesses in the Middle East due to the Israel-Hamas conflict, but cannot predict the impact should the conflict continue or develop into a larger war.
Basis of presentation:
 
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Photomedex India Private Limited, its wholly-owned, inactive subsidiary in India. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to fairly present the results of the interim periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time. Dollar amounts included herein are in thousands, except per share amounts.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including the impact on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows of the reclassification of lasers-in-process from inventories to property and equipment, net.

 
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company’s significant estimates and judgments include revenue recognition with respect to deferred revenues and the contract term and valuation allowances of accounts receivable, inputs used when evaluating goodwill for impairment, inputs used in the valuation of contingent consideration, state sales and use tax accruals, the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following 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 fair value measurement:

STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts and number of lasers)
(unaudited)
 
Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 – inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect the Company’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are based on their respective demand values, which are equal to the carrying values. The carrying values of all short-term monetary assets and liabilities are estimated to approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value due to its variable interest rate.

Accrued Warranty Costs
The Company offers a standard warranty on product sales generally for a one to two-year period, however, the Company has offered longer warranty periods, ranging from three to four years, in order to meet competition or customer demands. The Company provides for the estimated cost of the future warranty claims on the date the product is sold.

The activity in the warranty accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is summarized as follows:

Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share of common stock includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities such as unvested restricted stock awards, stock options and warrants for common stock which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. For diluted net loss per share, the weighted-average number of shares of common stock is the same as for basic net loss per share due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive securities are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s own Equity. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Specifically, the ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. In addition, the ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for it and simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculations in certain areas. The guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2024 did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which will primarily require enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance and enhanced disclosures in interim periods. The guidance in this ASU will be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2
Liquidity:

The Company has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, has historically experienced recurring losses, has been dependent on raising capital from the sale of securities in order to continue to operate and has been required to restrict cash for potential sales tax liabilities (see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies). In October 2021, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with an investment bank under which the Company may sell up to $11,000 of its common stock in registered “at-the-market” offerings. In June 2023, the Company amended its credit facility with MidCap Financial Trust to: (i) refinance its existing $8,000 term loan, (ii) borrow an additional $7,000, and (iii) provide for an additional $5,000 tranche that can be drawn under certain conditions in 2024. Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, combined with the anticipated revenues from the sale or use of its products and operating expense management, will be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s working capital needs, capital asset purchases, outstanding commitments and other liquidity requirements associated with its existing operations for at least the next 12 months following the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, market conditions, including the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine War, and the Israel-Hamas conflict on the financial markets, supply chain disruptions, customer behavior, and rising interest rates, could interfere with the Company’s ability to access financing and on favorable terms.

Note 3
Revenue Recognition:

Revenues from the Company’s dermatology recurring procedures customers are earned by providing physicians with its laser products and charging the physicians a fee for a fixed number of treatment sessions or a fixed fee for a specified period of time not to exceed an agreed upon number of treatments; if that number is exceeded additional fees will have to be paid. The placement of the laser products at physician locations represents embedded leases which are accounted for as operating leases. For the lasers placed-in service under these arrangements, the terms of the domestic arrangements are generally 36 months with automatic one-year renewals and include a termination clause that can be effected at any time by either party with 30 to 60 day notice. Amounts paid are generally non-refundable. Sales of access codes for a fixed number of treatment sessions are considered variable treatment code payments and are recognized as revenue over the estimated usage period of the agreed upon number of treatments. Sales of access codes for a specified period of time are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis as the lasers are being used over the term specified in the agreement. Variable treatment code payments that will be paid only if the customer exceeds the agreed upon number of treatments are recognized only when such treatments are being exceeded and used. Internationally, the Company generally sells access codes for a fixed amount on a monthly basis to its distributors and the terms are generally 48 months, with termination in the event of the customers’ failure to remit payments timely, and include a potential buy-out at the end of the term of the contract. Currently, this is the only foreign recurring revenue. Prepaid amounts recorded in deferred revenue and customer deposits recorded in accounts payable are recognized as revenue over the lease term in the patterns described above. Pricing is fixed with the customer. With respect to lease and non-lease components, the Company adopted the practical expedient to account for the arrangement as a single lease component.

Revenues from the Company’s dermatology procedures equipment are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers or distributors, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Accordingly, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 
identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
 
identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
 
determination of the transaction price;
 
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
 
recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

Accounting for the Company’s contracts involves the use of significant judgments and estimates including determining the separate performance obligations, allocating the transaction price to the different performance obligations and determining the method to measure the entity’s performance toward satisfaction of performance obligations that most faithfully depicts when control is transferred to the customer. The Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price for each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs by beginning with average historical contractual selling prices and adjusting as necessary and on a consistent and rational basis for other inputs such as pricing trends, customer types, volumes and changing cost and margins.

Revenues from dermatology procedures equipment are recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to either the Company’s distributors or end-user customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products (the transaction price). Control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment and legal title must have passed to the customer. The Company ships most of its products FOB shipping point, and as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue upon shipment. From time to time the Company will grant certain customers, for example governmental customers, FOB destination terms, and the transfer of control for revenue recognition occurs upon receipt. The Company has elected to recognize the cost of freight and shipping activities as fulfillment costs. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of the underlying goods is transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred by the Company are included in cost of revenues.

Remaining performance obligations related to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year, which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include the potential obligation to perform under extended warranties and service contracts but exclude any dermatology procedures equipment accounted for as leases. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $628, and the Company expects to recognize $251 of the remaining performance obligations within one year and the remainder over one to three years. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed in relation to its services performed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Currently, the Company does not have any contract assets which have not transferred to a receivable.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to extended warranties and service contracts where the Company has received payments but has not yet satisfied the related performance obligations. The allocations of the transaction price are based on the price of standalone warranty contracts sold in the ordinary course of business. The advance consideration received from customers for the warranty services is a contract liability that is recognized ratably over the warranty period. As of March 31, 2024, the $251 of short-term contract liabilities is presented as deferred revenues and the $377 of long-term contract liabilities is presented within deferred revenues and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $76 and $132, respectively, as revenue from amounts classified as contract liabilities (i.e. deferred revenues) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

With respect to contract acquisition costs, the Company applies the practical expedient and expenses these costs immediately.

Long-Term Debt:

On September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), also acting as the administrative agent, and the lenders identified therein. The original terms provided for an $8,000 senior term loan. Borrowings under the senior term loan originally bore interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor rate of 0.50%) plus 7.50% per year and were scheduled to mature on September 1, 2026, unless terminated earlier. The Company was obligated to make monthly interest-only payments through September 30, 2024. The credit and security agreement was amended on January 10, 2022 to provide MidCap’s consent to the TheraClear asset acquisition. On September 6, 2022, the Company amended the facility to transition, upon the cessation of LIBOR, to one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or such other applicable period, plus 0.10%, with a floor of 0.50%.

On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into (a) Amendment No. 3 to the credit and security agreement (the “Third Amendment”); (b) the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement (the “A&R Warrant”) with MidCap Funding XXVII Trust (together with any registered holder from time to time or any holder of the shares issuable or issued upon the exercise or conversion of the warrant, the “Warrantholder”), which amended and restated the warrant agreement to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company, dated as of September 30, 2021 (the “Prior Warrant”), with the Warrantholder; (c) the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Warrantholder, which amended and restated the registration rights agreement, dated as of September 30, 2021, with the Warrantholder; and (d) a letter agreement (the “Fee Letter Agreement”) with MidCap, as agent.

On February 20, 2024, the Company entered into (a) Amendment No. 4 to the credit and security agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which amended the credit and security agreement, and (b) a second amended and restated letter agreement (“Amended Fee Letter Agreement”) with MidCap, as agent.

On March 27, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the credit and security agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), which further amended the credit and security agreement (as amended by the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, the “Senior Term Facility”) to clarify certain provisions related to the maintenance of cash collateral accounts.

The Senior Term Facility provides for a senior secured term loan facility of $20,000, of which $8,000 was drawn by the Company on September 30, 2021 (“Credit Facility #1”), $7,000 was drawn by the Company on June 30, 2023 (“Credit Facility #2”), and an additional $5,000 tranche (“Credit Facility #3”) is available to be drawn by the Company if its Dermatology Recurring Procedures Revenue (as defined in the Senior Term Facility) for the preceding 12 calendar months (ending on the last day of the calendar month for which a compliance certificate is delivered) is greater than or equal to $30,000 (such condition, the “Applicable Funding Condition”). Credit Facility #3 can be drawn beginning on the later of the satisfaction of the Applicable Funding Condition and January 1, 2024, with such commitment terminating on the earlier to occur of December 31, 2024 and the delivery of a written notice by MidCap to the Company terminating the applicable commitments following an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Term Facility) that has not been waived or cured at the time such notice is delivered. All borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.


Borrowings under the Senior Term Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the sum of (A) 30-day forward-looking term rate of one month SOFR, as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited, from time to time, plus (B) 0.10%, and (ii) the applicable floor rate of 3.50%, with such sum reset monthly, and (b) 7.50%. The effective interest rate of the Senior Term Facility as of March 31, 2024 was 13.94%. The Company is obligated to make interest-only payments (payable monthly in arrears) through June 1, 2026. Commencing on July 1, 2026 and continuing for the remaining 24 months of the facility, the Company will be required to make monthly interest payments and monthly principal payments based on a straight-line amortization schedule set forth in the Senior Term Facility, subject to certain adjustments as described in the Senior Term Facility. The final maturity date under the Senior Term Facility is June 1, 2028, unless earlier terminated.  The Senior Term Facility requires the Company to dedicate 100% of certain insurance proceeds to the prepayment of the outstanding term loan, subject to certain exceptions and net of certain expenses and repayments.

The Company may voluntarily prepay the outstanding term loan under the Senior Term Facility, with such prepayment in an amount of at least $5,000, at any time upon 30 days’ written notice.  Upon prepayment, the Company will be required to pay a prepayment fee equal to (i) 4.00% of the outstanding principal prepaid or required to be prepaid (whichever is greater), if the prepayment is made within 12 months of February 20, 2024, (ii) 3.00% of the outstanding principal prepaid or required to be prepaid (whichever is greater), if the prepayment is made between 12 months and 24 months after February 20, 2024, (iii) 2.00% of the outstanding principal prepaid or required to be prepaid (whichever is greater), if the prepayment is made between 24 months and 36 months after February 20, 2024, or (iv) 1.00% of the outstanding principal prepaid or required to be prepaid (whichever is greater), if the prepayment is made after 36 months after February 20, 2024 and prior to the maturity date.


The Senior Term Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and conditions, as well as various negative covenants.  Further, the Senior Term Facility contains (a) a quarterly financial covenant that requires the Company to not have less than $29,000 of net revenue (raised to $33,000 by December 31, 2026 and, for periods ending after December 31, 2026, such net revenue as determined in good faith by MidCap, which shall not be less than the applicable minimum net revenue amount for the immediately preceding period and $33,000) for the trailing 12-month period as of March 31, 2024, and (b) a minimum of unrestricted cash (as defined in the Senior Term Facility), at all times, of not less than $3,000. At March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants within the Senior Term Facility.


Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, MidCap may, and at the direction of a requisite percentage of the lenders must, (i) suspend or terminate the term loan commitment and MidCap and the other lenders’ obligations with respect thereto, and (ii) by notice to the Company, declare all or any portion of the obligations under the Senior Term Facility to be immediately due and payable. In addition to MidCap’s other rights and available remedies, but subject to applicable cure periods, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, MidCap may, and at the direction of a requisite percentage of the lenders must, terminate the Senior Term Facility. At March 31, 2024, no event of default had occurred, and the Company believed that events or conditions having a material adverse effect, giving rise to an acceleration of any amounts outstanding under the Senior Term Facility, had not occurred and were remote.

Pursuant to the Amended Fee Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to pay MidCap, as administrative agent, the following fees: (a) an origination fee on June 30, 2023 in an amount equal to (i) the Credit Extensions (as defined in the Senior Term Facility) in respect of Credit Facility #2, multiplied by (ii) 0.50%; (b) on the maturity date of the Senior Term Facility or any earlier date on which the obligations thereunder become due and payable in full or are otherwise paid in full (such date, the “Full Exit Fee Payment Date”), the Company shall pay an exit fee equal to (i) 4.00% of the total aggregate principal amount of Credit Extensions (as defined in the Senior Term Facility) made pursuant to the Senior Term Facility (regardless of any repayment or prepayment thereof) as of the Full Exit Fee Payment Date (such aggregate amount, the “Exit Fee Base Amount”), less (ii) any Partial Exit Fee (as defined below) previously paid; (c) on the date of any voluntary or mandatory partial prepayment of the borrowings under the Senior Term Facility (or on the date such mandatory prepayment becomes due and payable) (each such date, a “Partial Exit Fee Payment Date”), the Company shall pay an exit fee equal to 4.00% of the principal amount of the credit facilities paid or prepaid (or required to be paid in the case of a mandatory prepayment) as of the Partial Exit Fee Payment Date (such amount, the “Partial Exit Fee”); and (d) an origination fee payable contemporaneously with funding Credit Facility #3 in an amount equal to (i) the Credit Extensions (as defined in the Senior Term Facility) in respect of Credit Facility #3, multiplied by (ii) 0.50%.



The Prior Warrant allowed the Warrantholder, an affiliate of the lender, to purchase 373,626 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.82 per share for a 10-year period ending September 30, 2031. Pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the A&R Warrant, which amended and restated the Prior Warrant, the Warrantholder can purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.88 per share for a 10-year period ending on June 30, 2033. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Company registered the shares underlying the A&R Warrant effective August 18, 2023. The amendment of the warrant resulted in an increase in the fair value of the warrant, which has been accounted for as a lender fee.


The Fourth Amendment has been accounted for as a debt modification, as the new loan is not considered substantially different from the existing loan. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company increased the accrued exit fee, which is recorded as both a debt discount and an increase to the principal amount of debt, to $600. The debt discount, which also includes third party costs incurred in connection with the Third Amendment of $13, is being recognized as interest expense over the term of the Senior Term Facility using the effective-interest method. The unamortized debt discount was $525 as of March 31, 2024. The Company recognized interest expense of $524 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, of which $31 was related to the amortization of the debt discount. The Company recognized interest expense of $286 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, of which $41 was related to the amortization of the debt discount.

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, and local income taxes currently payable and deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
No income tax expense was incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Note 11
Business and Geographical Reporting Segments:

The Company organized its business into two operating segments to better align its organization based upon the Company’s management structure, products and services offered, markets served and types of customers, as follows. The Dermatology Recurring Procedures segment derives its revenues from the usage of its equipment by dermatologists to perform XTRAC and TheraClear procedures. The Dermatology Procedures Equipment segment generates revenues from the sale of equipment, such as lasers and lamp products. Management reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for the purposes of making certain operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

Unallocated operating expenses include costs that are not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group; included are expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, professional fees and other similar corporate expenses. Interest and other financing income (expense) is also not allocated to the operating segments.

Note 12
Significant Customer Concentrations:

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, revenues from sales to one customer, an international distributor from which the Company earned dermatology procedures equipment revenues, were $1,102, or 16.3%, of total revenues for such period. There were no amounts receivable from this customer as of March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any customers which accounted for more than 10% of its revenues.

One customer represented 12.5% of net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024. This customer also represented 16.5% of net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023. No other customer represented more than 10% of net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Note 13
Commitments and Contingencies:
 
Leases

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and operating lease liabilities when it obtains the right to control an asset under a leasing arrangement with an initial term greater than 12 months. The Company adopted the short-term accounting election for leases with a duration of less than one year. The Company leases its facilities and certain IT and office equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. All of the Company’s leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases with remaining lease terms ranging from one to five years.

In March 2024, the Company terminated the existing leases for its California facilities and concurrently executed new leases that effectively extended the terms of the leases for five years, which has been accounted for as a lease modification. The ROU assets and operating lease liabilities were remeasured at the modification date, resulting in an increase to both balances of $977 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no lease modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Operating lease costs were $106 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $112 and $96 for  the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 11.94% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 4.7 years.

Accrued State Sales and Use Tax Matters

The Company records state sales tax collected and remitted for its customers on dermatology procedures equipment sales on a net basis, excluded from revenue. The Company’s sales tax expense that is not presently being collected and remitted for the recurring revenue business is recorded in general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company believes its state sales and use tax accruals have been properly recognized such that, if the Company’s arrangements with customers are deemed more likely than not that the Company would not be exempt from sales tax in a particular state, the basis for measurement of the state sales and use tax is calculated in accordance with ASC 405, Liabilities, as a transaction tax. If and when the Company is successful in defending itself or in settling the sales tax obligation for a lesser amount, the reversal of this liability is to be recorded in the period the settlement is reached. However, the precise scope, timing, and time period at issue, as well as the final outcome of any audit and actual settlement, remains uncertain.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is, from time to time, subject to audits performed by state taxing authorities. These actions and proceedings are generally based on the position that the arrangements entered into by the Company are subject to sales and use tax rather than exempt from tax under applicable law. The states of New York and California have assessed the Company an aggregate of $3,943 including penalties and interest. The audits cover the period from March 2014 through November 2022. The Company received notification that an administrative state judge in New York issued an opinion finding in favor of the Company that the sale of XTRAC treatment codes was not taxable as sales tax with respect to that state’s first assessment. This ruling covers $1,484 of the total $3,943 of assessments. The relevant taxing authority filed an appeal of the administrative law judge’s finding and, following the submission of legal briefs by both sides and oral argument held in January 2022, on May 6, 2022, the Company received a written decision from the State of New York Appeals Tribunal (“Tribunal”) overturning the favorable sales tax determination of the administrative law judge. The Company appealed the Tribunal’s decision to the New York State Appellate Division (“Appellate Division”), and posted the required appellate bond in the form of cash collateral. Oral argument was held by the Appellate Division on January 18, 2024.

On March 8, 2024, the Company received  a decision from the Appellate Division ruling against it in the matter of its sales tax appeal, affirming the Tribunal’s ruling that the Company’s sale of XTRAC treatment codes is subject to sales tax. The Appellate Division concluded that, through the usage arrangements, the Company’s customers had possession of the laser devices and had a license and ability to use the laser devices. The Appellate Division also agreed with the Tribunal that the primary function analysis was not applicable in this matter. On April 11, 2024, the Company filed a motion for leave to appeal the Appellate Division’s decision to the New York State Court of Appeals. The Company is in the administrative process of appeal with respect to the remaining $1,273 of assessments in the State of New York.

The State of California has made aggregate assessments of $1,186 including penalties and interest. The audits cover the period from June 2018 through June 2022. The Company is in the administrative process of appeal in this jurisdiction as well.

If there is a determination that the true object of the Company’s recurring revenue model is not exempt from sales taxes and is not a prescription medicine, or the Company does not have other defenses where the Company prevails, the Company may be subject to sales taxes in those particular states for previous years and in the future, plus potential interest and penalties. The precise scope, timing and time periods at issue, as well as the final outcomes of the investigations and judicial proceedings, remain uncertain. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate may change from time to time, and actual losses could vary.

Contingent Consideration

In January 2022, the Company acquired certain assets related to the TheraClear devices from Theravant Corporation (“Theravant”). Theravant is eligible to receive up to $3,000 in future earnout payments upon the achievement of certain annual net revenue milestones ($1,000 of which is due upon the earlier of achieving a revenue target or July 2025), up to $20,000 in future royalty payments based upon a percentage of gross profit from future domestic sales ranging from 10-20%, 25% of gross profit from international sales over the subsequent four-year period, and up to $500 in future milestone payments upon the achievement of certain commercialization related targets. Through March 31, 2024, the Company has incurred $66 of royalty and gross profit payments based on gross profit from domestic and international sales.

Milestone Payments

In January 2022, the Company entered into a Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with Theravant. Under the Development Agreement, the Company will reimburse Theravant for costs incurred in further developing certain TheraClear technology and other healthcare products and methods for the medical aesthetic marketplace. In connection with the development of three devices, Theravant is eligible to receive $500 upon FDA clearance for each device and $500 upon achievement of certain net revenue targets for each device, aggregating to $3,000 of potential future milestone payments under the Development Agreement. The Development Agreement has a three-year term, unless terminated sooner by either party.

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is routinely a defendant in or party to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of employment, contract, and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, the Company receives numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony, and information in connection with various aspects of its activities.

On April 1, 2022, a proposed representative class action under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) was filed in Superior Court of California, County of San Diego against the Company and an employment agency which provided the Company with temporary employees. The complaint alleges various violations of the California Labor Code, including California’s wage and hour laws, relating to current and former non-exempt employees of the Company. The complaint seeks class status and payments for allegedly unpaid compensation and attorney’s fees. In a related matter, the attorneys in this matter and the proposed class representative, in a letter dated March 12, 2022, to the California Labor & Workforce Development Agency made nearly identical claims seeking the right to pursue a PAGA action against the Company and the employment agency. On or about May 16, 2022, the plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint adding a PAGA claim to the action. On or about June 2, 2022, the plaintiff filed an Application to Dismiss Class and Individual Claim without prejudice, in an attempt to pursue a PAGA only complaint. On or about June 30, 2022, the parties entered into a stipulation to allow the plaintiff to file a Second Amended Complaint to clarify the PAGA claim and to stay the pending action to allow an attempt at resolution through mediation. The mediation was held on February 23, 2023, and the matter was settled on terms agreeable to the Company. The settlement, which requires the Company to pay $106, was subject to the right of individual class members to opt out of the settlement and proceed on their own. No individual has requested to opt out of the settlement, and on April 5, 2024, an Order Granting Final Approval of the settlement was entered in the Superior Court. As of March 31, 2024, $106 has been accrued for this matter.
 
Note 14
Subsequent Events:

On April 26, 2024, the Company announced that it will effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on June 6, 2024, unless the Company’s common stock achieves a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) for ten trading days prior to that date. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

Introduction, Outlook, Overview of Business Operations and Recent Developments

STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. is a medical technology company in dermatology dedicated to developing, commercializing, and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions. Its products include the XTRAC® and Pharos® excimer lasers and VTRAC® lamp systems utilized in the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, and various other skin conditions, as well as the TheraClear® X Acne Therapy System utilized in the treatment of acne-related skin conditions.

21

The XTRAC ultraviolet light excimer laser system is utilized to treat psoriasis, vitiligo, and other skin diseases. The XTRAC excimer laser system received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2000 and has since become a widely recognized treatment among dermatologists. The system delivers targeted 308nm ultraviolet light to affected areas of skin, leading to psoriasis clearing and vitiligo repigmentation, following a series of treatments. As of March 31, 2024, there were 907 XTRAC systems placed in dermatologists’ offices in the United States under our dermatology recurring procedures model, a decrease from 923 as of December 31, 2023. Under the dermatology recurring procedures model, the XTRAC system is placed in a physician’s office and fees are charged on a per procedure basis or a fee is charged on a periodic basis not to exceed an agreed upon number of procedures. The XTRAC system’s use for psoriasis is covered by nearly all major insurance companies, including Medicare. The VTRAC Excimer Lamp system, offered internationally in addition to the XTRAC, provides targeted therapeutic efficacy demonstrated by excimer technology with the simplicity of design and reliability of a lamp system. The Pharos excimer laser system holds FDA clearance to treat chronic skin diseases, including psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and leukoderma. We believe there are approximately 8 million people in the United States and up to 125 million people worldwide suffering from psoriasis, and 1% to 2% of the world’s population suffers from vitiligo.

The TheraClear® X Acne Therapy System combines intense pulse light with vacuum (suction) for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne (including acne vulgaris), comedonal acne and pustular acne. The TheraClear device was cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) process. Currently, there is little insurance reimbursement coverage for acne treatments, such as those provided by TheraClear.

Our non-U.S. business focuses on a direct distribution model for equipment sales and recurring revenue, and we have distribution agreements in place in the Mid-East, Asia, and Mexico.

Post-COVID-19 Pandemic

In late 2019, there was an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) which became a global pandemic. Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted business conditions in the industry in which we operate, disrupted global supply chains, constrained workforce participation, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The pandemic led to the suspension of elective procedures in the U.S. and to the temporary closure of many physician practices, which are our primary customers. While most physician offices have reopened, some of our partner physician practices closed permanently, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frames is ongoing. We will continue to identify and plan around potential future pandemics and disruptions to our business.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War

Prior to the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine was the largest exporter of noble gases including neon, krypton, and xenon and has historically been the source of a significant amount of gas supplied to us by our contract suppliers. Neon gas is essential to the proper functioning of our lasers. Our suppliers have been resourceful in continuing to supply gases to us but cannot assure us that the supply will not remain uninterrupted. The reduced supply and ongoing conflict have also impacted the price of gas worldwide. Additionally, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science Act of 2022 has led to a further tightening of rare gas supplies as semiconductor chip manufacturers reconfigure their supply chains to address the need to secure their own supplies of rare gases for use in the manufacture of computer chips.

Impact of Israel-Hamas Conflict

We have not seen an impact on our distributors’ businesses in the Middle East due to the Israel-Hamas conflict, but cannot predict the impact should the conflict continue or develop into a larger war.

Key Technologies


XTRAC® Excimer Laser. XTRAC received FDA clearance in 2000 and has since become a widely recognized treatment among dermatologists for psoriasis and other skin diseases. The XTRAC System delivers ultra-narrowband ultraviolet B (“UVB”) light to affected areas of skin. Following a series of treatments typically performed twice weekly, psoriasis remission can be achieved, and vitiligo patches can be re-pigmented. XTRAC is endorsed by the National Psoriasis Foundation, and its use for psoriasis is covered by nearly all major insurance companies, including Medicare. We estimate that more than half of all major insurance companies now offer reimbursement for vitiligo as well, a figure that is increasing.
 
22


In the third quarter of 2018, we announced the FDA granted clearance for our Multi Micro Dose (MMD) tip for our XTRAC excimer laser. The MMD Tip accessory is indicated for use in conjunction with the XTRAC laser system to filter the Narrow Band UVB (“NB-UVB”) light at delivery in order to calculate and individualize the maximum non-blistering dose for a particular patient.
 

In January 2020, we announced the FDA granted clearance of our XTRAC Momentum Excimer Laser Platform. In February 2022, we announced the commercial launch, with the first installation in the U.S. market, of our next generation excimer laser system, XTRAC Momentum® 1.0.
 

VTRAC® Lamp. VTRAC received FDA clearance in 2005 and provides targeted therapeutic efficacy demonstrated by excimer technology with the simplicity of design and reliability of a lamp system.
 

TheraClear® X Acne Treatment Device. The TheraClear® Acne Therapy System (“TheraClear”) combines intense pulse light with vacuum (suction) for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne (including acne vulgaris), comedonal acne and pustular acne.

Recent Developments

Reverse Stock Split

On April 26, 2024, we announced that we will effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on June 6, 2024, unless our common stock achieves a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) for ten trading days prior to that date. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring us into compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates made in accordance with such policies are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7, as well as in our consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024.

Dermatology Recurring Procedures
Recognized recurring treatment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $4,696, which we estimate is approximately 65,000 XTRAC treatments with prices between $65 and $95 per treatment, compared to recurring treatment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $5,209, which we estimate is approximately 68,000 XTRAC treatments with prices between $65 and $95 per treatment. In connection with the launch of TheraClear, there were 104 and 58 TheraClear devices placed in dermatologists’ offices in the United States under our recurring procedures model as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Nominal revenue was earned from these devices during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

23

Increases in procedures are dependent upon building market acceptance through marketing programs with our physician partners and their patients to show that the XTRAC procedures will be of clinical benefit and will be generally reimbursed by insurers. We believe that several factors have an impact on the prescribed use of XTRAC treatments for psoriasis and vitiligo patients. Specifically, we believe that there is a lack of awareness of the positive effects of XTRAC treatments among both sufferers and providers; and the treatment regimen, which can sometimes require up to 12 or more treatments, has limited XTRAC use to certain patient populations. We reduced our direct-to-patient advertising over the course of 2023, which we believe contributed to a reduction in number of XTRAC treatments compared to prior periods that has continued into the first quarter of 2024. Therefore, our strategy going forward is to increase our direct-to-patient program for XTRAC advertising in the United States, targeting psoriasis and vitiligo patients through a variety of media and through our use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. We monitor the results of our advertising expenditures in this area to reach the more than 10 million patients in the United States we believe are afflicted with these diseases.

Revenues from dermatology recurring procedures are recognized over the estimated usage period of the agreed upon number of treatments, as the treatments are being used. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, we deferred domestic net revenues of $1,938 and $2,103, respectively, which will be recognized as revenue over the remaining usage period for the related placements. Lower deferred revenue from the fourth quarter of 2023 negatively impacted the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023, when higher deferred revenue from the fourth quarter of 2022 positively impacted that period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, dermatology procedures equipment revenues were $2,058. Internationally, we sold 16 systems (13 XTRAC and 3 VTRAC). Domestically, we sold 1 XTRAC system during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition to equipment sales, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized approximately $30 of deferred service revenue associated with service contracts assumed in connection with the Pharos asset acquisition.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, dermatology procedures equipment revenues were $2,358. Internationally, we sold 16 systems (12 XTRAC and 4 VTRAC). Domestically, we sold 2 XTRAC systems during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition to equipment sales, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized approximately $80 of deferred service revenue associated with service contracts assumed in connection with the Pharos asset acquisition.

While the number of systems sold remained consistent during the first quarter of 2024 and the same period of 2023, revenues were lower by $300 primarily as a result of a reduction in service billings related to Pharos laser system products of approximately $150, which includes systems that were not covered by service contracts, a 20% discount on the sale of certain lasers to an international distributor in the amount of $88 and a reduction in domestic sales of $100, offset by an increase in international parts and service sales.

Gross profit decreased to $3,080 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $4,388 during the same period in 2023. As a percentage of revenues, the gross profit was 45.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 58.0% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of the impact of deferred revenue, a reduction in service billings and the write-off of inventories related to Pharos laser system products, and higher depreciation costs due to more XTRAC lasers and TheraClear devices placed into service.

As a percentage of revenues, the gross profit was 53.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 61.2% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of less deferred revenue from the fourth quarter of 2023 recognized in 2024 compared to higher deferred revenue from the fourth quarter of 2022 recognized in 2023, which decreased gross profit by approximately $400, and higher depreciation costs due to more XTRAC lasers and TheraClear devices placed into service, which decreased gross profit by approximately $150.

As a percentage of revenues, the gross profit was 28.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 50.8% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily the result of an approximately $150 reduction in service billings related to Pharos laser system products, the write-off of $141 in inventories related to Pharos laser system products that will no longer be needed for warranty purposes due to the expiration of the related warranty service contracts, an $88 discount on the sale of certain lasers to an international distributor, an approximately $64 reduction in gross profit from lower domestic sales, and material cost increases of approximately $39.

25

Engineering and Product Development
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, engineering and product development expenses were $241 as compared to $315 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Engineering and product development costs were lower during the three-month period in 2024 primarily as a result of a decrease in salaries and outside services.

Selling and Marketing Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, selling and marketing expenses were $3,018 as compared to $3,742 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Selling and marketing expenses were lower during the three-month period in 2024 primarily as a result of a decrease in salaries and other employee related expenses due to the reduction in the size of the sales force, as well as a decrease in commissions due to the decrease in revenues.

General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, general and administrative expenses were $2,710 as compared to $2,917 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses were lower during the three-month period in 2024 primarily as a result of lower stock-based compensation expense, lower accounting and legal expenses, and decreased board of director fees, partially offset by an increase in the allowance for credit losses.

Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest expense was $524 as compared to $286 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of a higher interest rate on our variable rate Senior Term Facility entered into in September 2021 and the additional $7,000 borrowed under our Senior Term Facility on June 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA
We have determined to supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), presented elsewhere within this Report, with certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization.”

This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for Net Earnings (Loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. We consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to our results prepared under current accounting standards, but they are not a substitute for, nor superior to, U.S. GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance readers’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and to provide further information for comparative purposes. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to Net Earnings (Loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors by isolating certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook. In addition, we believe non-GAAP measures enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this Report is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024, we had working capital of $651 compared to $3,369 as of December 31, 2023. The change in working capital was primarily the result of the use of cash and cash equivalents for operations and capital expenditures for lasers. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $6,571 as of March 31, 2024, as compared to $8,118 as of December 31, 2023.

In September 2021, we entered into a credit and security agreement with MidCap, also acting as the administrative agent, and the lenders identified therein and borrowed $8,000 in the form of a senior term loan. The term loan bore interest at LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor rate of 0.50%) plus 7.50% per year. In September 2022, we amended the facility to transition, upon the cessation of LIBOR, to one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or such other applicable period, plus 0.10%, with a floor of 0.50%. In June 2023, we amended the credit facility to: (i) refinance our existing $8,000 term loan, (ii) borrow an additional $7,000, and (iii) provide for an additional $5,000 tranche that can be drawn under certain conditions in 2024. The facility matures on June 1, 2028. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the sum of (A) 30-day forward-looking term rate of one month SOFR, as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited, from time to time, plus (B) 0.10%, and (ii) the applicable floor rate of 3.50%, with such sum reset monthly, and (b) 7.50%. We are obligated to make interest-only payments through June 2026. From July 2026 to maturity, we will make principal payments in 24 equal installments. We also amended and restated the existing warrant to allow MidCap to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share for a 10-year period ending June 30, 2033. The loan is senior to all other indebtedness and is secured by substantially all of our assets. We are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants including a financial covenant based on minimum net revenue thresholds. Upon an event of default, including a covenant violation, all principal and interest are due on demand.

In February 2024, the parties amended the debt agreement in order to, among other things, revise the applicable minimum net revenue threshold financial covenant. For the periods ending March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, these amounts are set at $29,000, $29,250, $29,500 and $30,000, respectively, and increasing to $33,000 as set forth in such amendment for the periods thereafter.

In January 2022, we acquired certain assets related to the TheraClear devices from Theravant. Theravant is eligible to receive up to $3,000 in future earnout payments upon the achievement of certain annual net revenue milestones ($1,000 of which is due upon the earlier of achieving a revenue target or July 2025), up to $20,000 in future royalty payments based upon a percentage of gross profit from future domestic sales ranging from 10-20%, 25% of gross profit from international sales over the subsequent four-year period, and up to $500 in future milestone payments upon the achievement of certain development and commercialization related targets. Through March 31, 2024, we have incurred $66 of royalty and gross profit payments based on gross profit from domestic and international sales.

27

In October 2021, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with an investment bank under which we may sell up to $11,000  of our shares of common stock in registered “at-the-market” offerings. The shares will be offered at prevailing market prices, and we will pay commissions of up to 3.00% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares sold through our agent, which may act as an agent and/or principal. We have no obligation to sell any shares under this agreement and may, at any time, suspend solicitations under this agreement. No shares of our common stock have been sold under this distribution agreement through March 31, 2024.

We cannot predict our revenues and expenses in the short term as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas conflict, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates, and related responses by our customers and our ultimate consumers as a result thereof. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, combined with the anticipated revenues from the sale or use of our products and operating expense management, will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs, capital asset purchases, outstanding commitments and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations for at least the next 12 months following the date of the issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.  However, if these sources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional debt or equity securities or enter into a new credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, our stockholders would experience dilution and any new equity securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. We cannot be assured that additional equity, equity-linked or debt financing will be available on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, or at all. It is also possible that we may allocate significant amounts of capital towards products or technologies for which market demand is lower than expected and, as a result, abandon such efforts. If we are unable to maintain our current financing or obtain adequate additional financing when we require it, or if we obtain financing on terms which are not favorable to us, or if we expend capital on products or technologies that are unsuccessful, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, or we may be required to delay the development, commercialization and marketing of our products.

Net cash used in operating activities was $804 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which remained consistent compared to net cash used in operating activities of $817 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities was $725 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in capital expenditures after the launch of TheraClear  in the first quarter of 2023.

Net cash used in financing activities was $18 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted of our payment of contingent consideration to Theravant. There were no cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies
There were no items that significantly impacted our commitments and contingencies as discussed in the notes to our 2023 annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.
Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), as of March 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

28

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - Other Information

ITEM 1.
Legal Proceedings

From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of our business. These may include controversies relating to contract claims and employment related matters, some of which claims may be material, in which case, we will make separate disclosure as required.

On April 1, 2022, a proposed representative class action under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) was filed in Superior Court of California, County of San Diego against the Company and an employment agency (“Co-Defendant”) which provided us with temporary employees. The complaint alleges various violations of the California Labor Code, including California’s wage and hour laws, relating to certain of our current and former non-exempt employees. The complaint seeks class status and payments for allegedly unpaid compensation and attorney’s fees. In a related matter, the attorneys in this matter and the proposed class representative, in a letter dated March 12, 2022, to the California Labor & Workforce Development Agency made nearly identical claims seeking the right to pursue a PAGA action against us and the employment agency. On or about May 16, 2022, the plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint adding a PAGA claim to the action. On or about June 2, 2022, the plaintiff filed an Application to Dismiss Class and Individual Claim without prejudice, in an attempt to pursue a PAGA only complaint. On or about June 30, 2022, the parties entered into a stipulation to allow the plaintiff to file a Second Amended Complaint to clarify the PAGA claim and to stay the pending action to allow mediation. The mediation was held on February 23, 2023, and the matter was settled on terms agreeable to us. The settlement, which requires us to pay $0.1 million, was subject to the right of individual class members to reject the settlement and proceed on their own. No individual has requested to opt out of the settlement, and on April 5, 2024, an Order Granting Final Approval of the settlement was entered in the Superior Court.

In the ordinary course of business, we are, from time to time, subject to audits performed by state taxing authorities. These actions and proceedings are generally based on the position that the arrangements entered into by us are subject to sales and use tax rather than exempt from tax under applicable law. The states of New York and California have assessed us an aggregate of $3.9 million including penalties and interest. The audits cover the period from March 2014 through November 2022. We received notification that an administrative state judge in New York issued an opinion finding in favor of us that the sale of XTRAC treatment codes was not taxable as sales tax with respect to that state’s first assessment. This ruling covers $1.4 million of the total $3.9 million of assessments. The relevant taxing authority filed an appeal of the administrative law judge’s finding and, following the submission of legal briefs by both sides and oral argument held in January 2022, on May 6, 2022, we received a written decision from the State of New York Appeals Tribunal (“Tribunal”) overturning the favorable sales tax determination of the administrative law judge. We appealed the Tribunal’s decision to the New York State Appellate Division (“Appellate Division”), and posted the required appellate bond in the form of cash collateral. Oral argument was held by the Appellate Division on January 18, 2024.

29

On March 8, 2024, we received  a decision from the Appellate Division ruling against us in the matter of our sales tax appeal, affirming the Tribunal's ruling that our sale of XTRAC treatment codes is subject to sales tax. The Appellate Division concluded that, through the usage arrangements, our customers had possession of the laser devices and had a license and ability to use the laser devices. The Appellate Division also agreed with the Tribunal that the primary function analysis was not applicable in this matter. On April 11, 2024, we filed a motion for leave to appeal the Appellate Division’s decision to the New York State Court of Appeals. We are in the administrative  process of appeal with respect to the remaining $1.2 million of assessments in the State of New York.

The State of California has made aggregate assessments of $1.2 million including penalties and interest. The audits cover the period from June 2018 through June 2022. We are in the administrative process of appeal in this jurisdiction as well.

If there is a determination that the true object of our recurring revenue model is not exempt from sales taxes and is not a prescription medicine, or we do not have other defenses where we prevail, we may be subject to sales taxes in those particular states for previous years and in the future, plus potential interest and penalties.
