PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

PolarityTE, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing regenerative tissue products and biomaterials. The Company also operates a laboratory testing and clinical research business.

 

The Company’s first regenerative tissue product is SkinTE. In July 2021, the Company submitted an investigational new drug application (“IND”) for SkinTE to the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) through its subsidiary, PolarityTE MD, Inc. Prior to June 1, 2021, the Company sold SkinTE under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act in 2020 and into 2021 and, after the Company’s decision to file an IND under Section 351 of that Act, under an enforcement discretion position stated by the FDA in a regenerative medicine policy framework to help facilitate regenerative medicine therapies. The FDA’s stated period of enforcement discretion ended May 31, 2021. Consequently, the Company terminated commercial sales of SkinTE on May 31, 2021, ceased its SkinTE commercial operations, and transitioned to a clinical stage company pursuing an IND for SkinTE. As a result, there were no product sales from commercial SkinTE after June 2021. The only revenues recognized subsequent to June 2021 for SkinTE were nominal amounts collected on accounts for product shipped prior to the end of May 2021 that were not previously recognized because of concerns with collectability. No revenue for SkinTE was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2021, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on March 30, 2022.
