SINTX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SINTX Technologies, Inc. (“SINTX”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary SINTX Armor, Inc. (“SINTX Armor”), which are collectively referred to as “we” or “the Company”. SINTX was incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 10, 1996 (and was previously known as Amedica Corporation). The Company is an OEM advanced ceramics materials company focused on providing solutions in a variety of medical, industrial, armor and antipathogenic applications. SINTX is a 25-year-old company that has grown over time from focusing on the research and development of silicon nitride for use in human interbody implants to becoming an advanced ceramics company engaged in many different fields, which has enabled the business to focus on core competencies. The core strength of the Company is the manufacturing, research, and development of advanced ceramics for external partners. The Company presently manufactures silicon nitride powders and components in its FDA registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified, and ASD9100D certified manufacturing facility. The Company’s products are primarily sold in the United States.
The Company is focused on building revenue generating opportunities in four business industries, namely, antipathogenic, armor, industrial, and biomedical connecting with current and new customers, partners and manufacturers to help realize the goal of leveraging expertise in high-tech ceramics to create new, innovative opportunities across these sectors. We also expect our continued investment in research and development to provide additional revenue opportunities.
The Company’s initial focus was the development and commercialization of products made from silicon nitride for use in spinal fusion and hip and knee replacement applications. SINTX believes it is the first and only manufacturer to use silicon nitride in medical applications primarily focused on spine fusion therapies. Since then, we have developed other applications for our silicon nitride technology as well as utilizing our expertise in the use of ceramic materials in other applications as well. In July 2021, the Company acquired the equipment and obtained certain proprietary know-how rights with which it intends to develop, manufacture and commercialize protective armor plates from boron carbide and a composite material of silicon carbide and boron carbide for military, law enforcement and civilian uses (see Note 14). The protective armor plate operations will be housed in SINTX Armor.
On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its retail spine business to CTL Medical, a Dallas, Texas-based privately held medical device manufacturer. As a result of the sale, CTL Medical became the exclusive owner of the Company’s portfolio of metal and silicon nitride spine products, as well as access to future silicon nitride spine technologies developed by the Company. The Company’s name, Amedica, was also transferred to CTL Medical, which is now CTL Amedica. The Company serves as CTL’s exclusive OEM provider of silicon nitride products. Manufacturing, R&D, and all intellectual property related to the core, non-spine, biomaterial technology including silicon nitride remains with the Company.
On October 30, 2018, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to SINTX Technologies, Inc. The Company also changed its trading symbol on the NASDAQ Capital Market to “SINT”.
The Company’s new corporate brand reflects both the Company’s core competence in the science and production of silicon nitride ceramics and other ceramics, as well as encouraging prospects for the future, as an OEM supplier of spine implants to CTL Amedica, and multiple opportunities outside of spine.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all assets and liabilities of the Company. In May 2020, the Company dissolved a wholly owned subsidiary ST Sub, Inc. At the time of dissolution, the subsidiary had no assets, liabilities, equity, or operations.
SEC rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2021, the most significant estimate relates to derivative liabilities relating to common stock warrants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $
The Company is actively generating additional scientific and clinical data to have it published in leading industry publications. The unique features of our advanced ceramic materials are not well known, and we believe the publication of such data would help sales efforts as the Company approaches new prospects. The Company is also making additional changes to the sales strategy, including a focus on revenue growth by expanding the use of silicon nitride in other areas outside of spinal fusion applications. The Company has also acquired equipment and certain proprietary know-how for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and commercializing armored plates made from boron carbide and a composite of boron carbide and silicon carbide for military, law enforcement and other civilian uses.
The
Company has common stock that is publicly traded and has been able to successfully raise capital when needed since the date of the Company’s
initial public offering in February 2014. On February 6, 2020, the Company closed on a rights offering to its stockholders of units,
consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants, for gross proceeds of $
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an at-the-market (2019 ATM) equity distribution agreement with Maxim Group
LLC (“Maxim”) under which the Company could sell, from time to time, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering
price of up to $
On
February 25, 2021, the Company entered into an at-the-market Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2021 Distribution Agreement”)
with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time, shares of the Company’s common
stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $
Management has concluded existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months, or through November 2022.
Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. In response to the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure safety of employees and continuity of business operations, we temporarily restricted access to the facility, with our administrative employees continuing their work remotely and limited the number of staff in our manufacturing facility. We implemented protective measures such as wearing of face masks, maintaining social distancing, and additional cleaning. Beginning in 2021, we have offered vaccination incentives. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or other activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that no other pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period that are determined to be dilutive. Common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of preferred stock, warrants and options for the purchase of common stock. The Company had potentially dilutive securities, totaling approximately million and million as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
Financial Instruments Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company has issued certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which are considered derivative liabilities because they have registration rights which could require a cash settlement and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting period in accordance with accounting guidance. Fair value is based on 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, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| Level 1 - | quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
| Level 2 - | observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data. | |

The Company classifies assets and liabilities measured at fair value in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

Overview
SINTX Technologies is an OEM advanced ceramics materials company focused on providing solutions in a variety of medical, industrial, armor and antipathogenic applications. SINTX is a 25-year-old company that has grown over time from focusing on the research and development of silicon nitride for use in human interbody implants to becoming an advanced ceramics company engaged in many different fields, which has enabled the business to focus on core competencies. The core strength of the Company is the manufacturing, research, and development of advanced ceramics for external partners. The Company presently manufactures silicon nitride powders and components in its FDA registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified, and ASD9100D certified manufacturing facility.
The Company is focused on building revenue generating opportunities in three business industries, antipathogenic, armor, industrial and biomedical, connecting with current and new customers, partners and manufacturers to help realize the goal of leveraging expertise in high-tech ceramics to create new, innovative opportunities across these sectors. We also expect our continued investment in research and development to provide additional revenue opportunities.
Since inception, we have been focused on development of medical grade silicon nitride for use in applications such as spinal fusion, hip and knee replacement and dental implants. The Company’s products are biocompatible, bioactive, antipathogenic, and have shown superb bone affinity. Because of its inherent resistance to bacterial adhesion, it is an ideal material for use in interbody implants. Bacterial infection of any biomaterial implants is always a concern. Our silicon nitride is inherently resistant to bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, making it antibacterial.
It is the belief of the Company that its grade of industrial silicon nitride also has the desired mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties for use as a technical ceramic material. It is a high-performance technical ceramic with high strength, toughness, and hardness, and is extremely resistant to thermal shock and impact. It is also an electrically insulating ceramic material. Typically, it is used in applications where high load-bearing capacity, thermal stability, and wear resistance are required.
Armor solutions utilizing ceramics are commonly used to protect vehicles, personnel, aircraft, and marine vessels due to their lightweight and high hardness. We have entered the ceramic armor market through the purchase of assets from B4C, LLC and a technology partnership with Precision Ceramics USA. We will develop and manufacture high-performance ceramics for personnel, aircraft, and vehicle armor including a 100% Boron Carbide material for ultimate lightweight performance in ballistic applications, and a composite material made of Boron Carbide and Silicon Carbide, licensed from Precision Ceramics USA, for multi-hit performance against ballistic threats.
Today, there is a global need to improve protection against pathogens in everyday life. SINTX believes that by incorporating its unique composition of silicon nitride antipathogenic powder into products such as face masks and personal protective equipment, it is possible to manufacture surfaces that inactivate viral particles, thereby limiting the spread of disease.
The Company presently manufactures advanced ceramic powders and components in manufacturing facilities based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Components of our Results of Operations
We manage our business within one reportable segment, which is consistent with how our management reviews our business, makes investment and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance.
| 17 |
Product Revenue
We derive our product revenue primarily from the manufacture and sale of spinal fusion products used in the treatment of spine disorders to CTL, with whom we entered into a 10-year exclusive sales agreement in October 2018. We are currently pursuing other sales opportunities for silicon nitride products outside the spinal fusion application and have shipped new orders for these products. We generally recognize revenue from sales where control transfers at a point in time as the title and risk of loss passes to the customer, which is at the time the product is shipped. In general, our customer does not have rights of return or exchange.
We believe our product revenue will increase as CTL increases sales of silicon nitride spinal fusion products, as we secure other opportunities to manufacture third party products with silicon nitride, and as we continue to introduce new products into the market.
Cost of Revenue
The expenses that are included in cost of revenue include all in-house manufacturing costs for the products we manufacture.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit measures our product revenue relative to our cost of revenue. We expect our gross profit percentage to decrease as we expand the penetration of our silicon nitride technology platform through OEM and private label partnerships, which offer additional avenues for the adoption of silicon nitride. Prior to the sale of our retail spine implant business, our revenues and gross profits were based on our retail sales. With the focus on OEM and private label partnerships, the margins are lower, thus causing the decrease in our gross profit percentage.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs consist of engineering, product development, clinical trials, test-part manufacturing, testing, developing and validating the manufacturing process, manufacturing, facility and regulatory-related costs. Research and development expenses also include employee compensation, employee and non-employee stock-based compensation, supplies and materials, consultant services, and travel and facilities expenses related to research and development activities.
We expect to incur additional research and development costs as we continue to develop new spinal fusion products, develop armored plates from ceramic, product candidates for total joint replacements, dental applications, antipathogenic products, and other products which may increase our total research and development expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation for certain members of our executive team and other personnel employed in finance, compliance, administrative, information technology, customer service, executive and human resource departments. General and administrative expenses also include other expenses not part of the other cost categories mentioned above, including facility expenses and professional fees for accounting and legal services.

Product Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, total product revenue was $0.24 million as compared to $0.07 million in the same period 2020, an increase of $0.17 million, or 262%. This increase was largely due to increases in orders from CTL Amedica.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total product revenue was $0.44 million as compared to $0.48 million in the same period 2020, a decrease of $0.04 million, or 8%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in orders from CTL Amedica.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our cost of revenue increased $0.14 million, or 258%, as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is primarily attributed to the increase in product revenue, and the associated increase in costs of goods sold. Gross profit increased $0.04 million or 277%. This increase in gross profit is attributed to the increase in product revenue. Gross profit margin percentage totaled 21% and 20% for the three months ended September 30 for 2021 and 2020, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our cost of revenue decreased $0.06 million, or 15%, as compared to the same period in 2020. Gross profit increased $0.02 million or 22%. The decrease in cost of revenue was directly related to the reduction in revenue. The increase in gross profit is a result of revenue to new customers with higher profit margins when compared to the prior year. Gross profit margin percentage totaled 27% and 20% for the nine months ended September 30 for 2021 and 2020, respectively.
| 19 |
Research and Development Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased $0.2 million, or 12% as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an overall increase in R&D activity to support the Company’s strategic objective of developing new technologies and related products.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased $0.9 million, or 26%, as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in R&D wages for new personnel and outside research activities related to testing the anti-viral properties of silicon nitride to support the Company’s strategic objective of developing new technologies and related products.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million, or 13% as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is primarily due to an increase in insurance costs and fees for outside consultants.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 15%, as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is primarily due to the increase in insurance costs, fees for outside consultants and an increase in wages for new personnel.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, sales and marketing expenses increased $0.2 million, or 86%, as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an overall increase in marketing activities to generate interest in and exposure to the Company’s potential new product lines.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, sales and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million, or 112%, as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales and marketing wages for new personnel and an increase in marketing activities to generate interest in and exposure to the Company’s potential new product lines.
Other Income, Net
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, other income increased $0.5 million, or 4920%, as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to incurring a change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities in the amount of $0.8 million offset by a $0.1 million decrease in interest income and a $0.2 million gain on the reduction of accrued sterilization in the prior year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, other income decreased $0.1 million, or 12%, as compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to incurring a change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities in the amount of $1.5 million, a reduction in interest income of $0.2 million offset by offering costs of $1.2 million associated with the February 2020 rights offering and a $0.4 million in PPP loan forgiveness in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 20 |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.2 million and a net loss of $5.3 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of $7.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $248.3 million and $241.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. To date, the Company’s operations have been principally financed from proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common stock and, to a lesser extent, cash generated from product sales. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase sales, and/or raise additional funds through the capital markets. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations or obtain additional financing is uncertain.
The Company is actively generating additional scientific and clinical data to have it published in leading industry publications. The unique features of our silicon nitride material are not well known, and we believe the publication of such data would help sales efforts as the Company approaches new prospects. The Company is also making additional changes to the sales strategy, including a focus on revenue growth by expanding the use of silicon nitride in other areas outside of spinal fusion applications. For instance, results from an independent study demonstrated the potential anti-viral properties of our silicon nitride. We believe that we may be able to apply our silicon nitride powder to personal protection products, such as face masks, gowns and gloves, resulting in inactivation of viruses that come into contact with the items.
The Company has common stock that is publicly traded and has been able to successfully raise capital when needed since the date of the Company’s initial public offering in February 2014. On February 6, 2020, the Company closed on a rights offering to its stockholders of units, consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants, for gross proceeds of $9.4 million, which excludes underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. Additionally, during the period of June 2020 through August 2020, the Company closed four registered direct offerings of shares of its common stock, priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules, resulting in the issuance of a total of 11,015,000 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $20.9 million, which excludes underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an ATM equity distribution agreement in which the Company could sell, from time to time, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.5 million. The Company sold 527,896 shares during the year ended December 31, 2019, raising approximately $1.7 million before considering issuance costs. During the year ending December 31, 2020, the Company sold 354,381 shares of common stock, raising approximately $0.8 million before considering issuance costs. As a result of the sales during the first half of 2020 there are no longer any funds available to the Company under the ATM.
On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2021 Distribution Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which we may sell from time to time, shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $15.0 million through Maxim, as agent. No shares have been sold under the 2021 Distribution Agreement as of September 30, 2021.
On October 1, 2018, the Company sold the retail spine implant business to CTL Medical. The sale included a $6 million noninterest bearing note receivable payable over a 36-month term. CTL Medical has paid this note in full, and the Company does not expect any future cashflows associated with the note.
Management has concluded that its existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months, or through November 2022.
Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. In response to the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure safety of employees and continuity of business operations, we temporarily restricted access to the facility, with our administrative employees continuing their work remotely and limited the number of staff in our manufacturing facility. We implemented protective measures such as wearing of face masks, maintaining social distancing, and additional cleaning. Beginning in 2021, we have offered vaccination incentives. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or other activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (in thousands) – unaudited:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (7,747 | ) | $ | (7,056 | ) | ||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (1,122 | ) | 1,378 | |||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 701 | 30,941 | ||||||
| Net cash provided (used) | $ | (8,168 | ) | $ | 25,263 | |||
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $7.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $7.1 million used during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase in the net loss from operations, and related non-cash add backs to the net loss, was $0.8 million from 2021 when compared to 2020. The increase in cash used for operating activities during 2021 was primarily due to the $0.8 million mentioned above plus changes in the movement of working capital items during 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 as follows: a $0.3 million increase in cash used for inventory, $0.1 million increase in cash used for prepaid expenses, and $0.2 million decrease in cash received from accounts receivable, offset by a $0.8 million decrease in cash used for accounts payable.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $1.4 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease of cash provided by investing activities of $2.5 million was primarily driven by the change in property and equipment of $2.9 million, offset by an increase in cash from notes receivable of $0.4 million.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $30.9 million during the same period in 2020. The $30.2 million decrease to net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to 2020 proceeds from a offerings including $20.0 million less in proceeds in the issuance of common stock, $6.3 million less in proceeds from issuance of warrant derivative liabilities, $3.1 million less in proceeds from issuance of preferred stock, and $0.9 million less in proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants, offset by $0.1 million in additional proceeds from the issuance of debt related to PPP loans.
Indebtedness
2020 PPP Loan
On April 28, 2020, the Company received funding under a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan (the “PPP Loan”) from First State Community Bank (the “Lender”). The principal amount of the PPP Loan was $0.4 million. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). Loans made under the PPP may be partially or fully forgiven if the recipient complies with the provisions of the CARES Act, including the use of PPP Loan proceeds for payroll costs, rent, utilities and other expenses, provided that such amounts are incurred during a 24-week period that commenced on April 28, 2020 and at least 60% of any forgiven amount has been used for covered payroll costs as defined by the CARES Act. On January 5, 2021, the Lender provided notice to the Company that the principal amount and accrued interest had been forgiven. The Company removed the PPP Loan obligation and recorded other income for forgiveness of debt totaling $0.4 million. The SBA has until January of 2027 to audit the Company’s compliance with the CARES Act relating to the PPP Loan.
2021 PPP Loan
On March 15, 2021, the Company received funding under the SBA Second Draw Program under the Paycheck Protection Program (“2021 PPP”) (the “2021 PPP Loan”) from First State Community Bank (the “Lender”). The principal amount of the 2021 PPP Loan is $0.5 million. The 2021 PPP was established under the CARES Act and is administered by the SBA. The 2021 PPP Loan has a five-year term, maturing on March 15, 2026. The interest rate on the 2021 PPP Loan is 1.0% per annum.
The Company will not be obligated to make any payments of principal or interest if the Company submits a loan forgiveness application to the Bank within 10 months after the end of the Company’s covered loan forgiveness period (as defined and interpreted by the 2021 PPP Rules) and such loan forgiveness is allowed. Generally, all or a portion of the 2021 PPP Loan may be forgiven if the Company maintains its employment and compensation within certain parameters during the twenty-four (24) week period following the loan origination date and the proceeds of the 2021 PPP Loan are spent on payroll costs, rent or lease agreements dated before February 15, 2020 and utility payments arising under service agreements dated before February 15, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
A summary of our significant accounting policies and estimates is discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to those policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Significant areas of uncertainty that require judgments, estimates and assumptions include the accounting for income taxes and other contingencies as well as valuation of derivative liabilities, asset impairment and collectability of accounts receivable. We use historical and other information that we consider to be relevant to make these judgments and estimates. However, actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements

Organization
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SINTX Technologies, Inc. (“SINTX”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary SINTX Armor, Inc. (“SINTX Armor”), which are collectively referred to as “we” or “the Company”. SINTX was incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 10, 1996 (and was previously known as Amedica Corporation). The Company is an OEM advanced ceramics materials company focused on providing solutions in a variety of medical, industrial, armor and antipathogenic applications. SINTX is a 25-year-old company that has grown over time from focusing on the research and development of silicon nitride for use in human interbody implants to becoming an advanced ceramics company engaged in many different fields, which has enabled the business to focus on core competencies. The core strength of the Company is the manufacturing, research, and development of advanced ceramics for external partners. The Company presently manufactures silicon nitride powders and components in its FDA registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified, and ASD9100D certified manufacturing facility. The Company’s products are primarily sold in the United States.
The Company is focused on building revenue generating opportunities in four business industries, namely, antipathogenic, armor, industrial, and biomedical connecting with current and new customers, partners and manufacturers to help realize the goal of leveraging expertise in high-tech ceramics to create new, innovative opportunities across these sectors. We also expect our continued investment in research and development to provide additional revenue opportunities.
The Company’s initial focus was the development and commercialization of products made from silicon nitride for use in spinal fusion and hip and knee replacement applications. SINTX believes it is the first and only manufacturer to use silicon nitride in medical applications primarily focused on spine fusion therapies. Since then, we have developed other applications for our silicon nitride technology as well as utilizing our expertise in the use of ceramic materials in other applications as well. In July 2021, the Company acquired the equipment and obtained certain proprietary know-how rights with which it intends to develop, manufacture and commercialize protective armor plates from boron carbide and a composite material of silicon carbide and boron carbide for military, law enforcement and civilian uses (see Note 14). The protective armor plate operations will be housed in SINTX Armor.
On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its retail spine business to CTL Medical, a Dallas, Texas-based privately held medical device manufacturer. As a result of the sale, CTL Medical became the exclusive owner of the Company’s portfolio of metal and silicon nitride spine products, as well as access to future silicon nitride spine technologies developed by the Company. The Company’s name, Amedica, was also transferred to CTL Medical, which is now CTL Amedica. The Company serves as CTL’s exclusive OEM provider of silicon nitride products. Manufacturing, R&D, and all intellectual property related to the core, non-spine, biomaterial technology including silicon nitride remains with the Company.
On October 30, 2018, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to SINTX Technologies, Inc. The Company also changed its trading symbol on the NASDAQ Capital Market to “SINT”.
The Company’s new corporate brand reflects both the Company’s core competence in the science and production of silicon nitride ceramics and other ceramics, as well as encouraging prospects for the future, as an OEM supplier of spine implants to CTL Amedica, and multiple opportunities outside of spine.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all assets and liabilities of the Company. In May 2020, the Company dissolved a wholly owned subsidiary ST Sub, Inc. At the time of dissolution, the subsidiary had no assets, liabilities, equity, or operations.
SEC rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2021, the most significant estimate relates to derivative liabilities relating to common stock warrants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of $7.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $248.3 million and $241.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. To date, the Company’s operations have been principally financed from proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common stock and, to a lesser extent, cash generated from product sales. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase sales, and/or raise additional funds through the capital markets. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations or obtain additional financing is uncertain.
The Company is actively generating additional scientific and clinical data to have it published in leading industry publications. The unique features of our advanced ceramic materials are not well known, and we believe the publication of such data would help sales efforts as the Company approaches new prospects. The Company is also making additional changes to the sales strategy, including a focus on revenue growth by expanding the use of silicon nitride in other areas outside of spinal fusion applications. The Company has also acquired equipment and certain proprietary know-how for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and commercializing armored plates made from boron carbide and a composite of boron carbide and silicon carbide for military, law enforcement and other civilian uses.
The Company has common stock that is publicly traded and has been able to successfully raise capital when needed since the date of the Company’s initial public offering in February 2014. On February 6, 2020, the Company closed on a rights offering to its stockholders of units, consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants, for gross proceeds of $9.4 million, which excludes underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.2 million. Additionally, during the period of June 2020 through August 2020, the Company closed four registered direct offerings of shares of its common stock, priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules, resulting in the issuance of a total of shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $20.9 million, before considering issuance costs of approximately $1.6 million (see Note 9).
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an at-the-market (2019 ATM) equity distribution agreement with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) under which the Company could sell, from time to time, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold shares of common stock under the 2019 ATM, raising approximately $0.8 million before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses of approximately $0.034 million. As of September 30, 2021, no funding capacity is available under the 2019 ATM. (see Note 9).
On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into an at-the-market Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2021 Distribution Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15.0 million through Maxim, as agent. As of September 30, 2021, there have been no sales of shares of common stock under the 2021 Distribution Agreement.
Management has concluded existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months, or through November 2022.
Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. In response to the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure safety of employees and continuity of business operations, we temporarily restricted access to the facility, with our administrative employees continuing their work remotely and limited the number of staff in our manufacturing facility. We implemented protective measures such as wearing of face masks, maintaining social distancing, and additional cleaning. Beginning in 2021, we have offered vaccination incentives. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or other activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that no other pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

6. Fair Value Measurements
Financial Instruments Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company has issued certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which are considered derivative liabilities because they have registration rights which could require a cash settlement and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting period in accordance with accounting guidance. Fair value is based on 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, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
The Company classifies assets and liabilities measured at fair value in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. No financial assets were measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The following tables set forth the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):
The Company did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between any levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands).
Common Stock Warrants
The Company has issued certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which are considered derivative liabilities because they have registration rights which could require a cash settlement and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting period in accordance with accounting guidance. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the derivative liability was calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation.
The assumptions used in estimating the common stock warrant liability as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:
Other Financial Instruments
The Company’s recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, account and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded value of notes payable approximates the fair value as the interest rate approximates market interest rates.

Loans made under the PPP may be partially or fully forgiven if the recipient complies with the provisions of the CARES Act, including the use of PPP Loan proceeds for payroll costs, rent, utilities and other expenses, provided that such amounts are incurred during a 24-week period that commenced on April 28, 2020 and at least 60% of any forgiven amount has been used for covered payroll costs as defined by the CARES Act. On January 5, 2021, the Lender provided notice to the Company that the principal amount and accrued interest had been forgiven. The Company removed the PPP Loan obligation and recorded other income for forgiveness of debt totaling $0.4 million. The SBA has until January of 2027 to audit the Company’s compliance with the CARES Act relating to the PPP Loan.

A summary of the Company’s outstanding stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, which requires several estimates including an estimate of the fair value of the underlying common stock on grant date. The expected volatility was based on an average of the historical volatility of the Company. The expected term was contractual life of option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the calculation to estimate the fair value of options granted to employees and non-employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company granted stock options with an estimated fair value of approximately $million.
Of the options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, were to non-executive members of the board of directors. Of the options outstanding as of September 30, 2021, were awarded to non-executive members of the board of directors.

| Organization | Organization
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SINTX Technologies, Inc. (“SINTX”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary SINTX Armor, Inc. (“SINTX Armor”), which are collectively referred to as “we” or “the Company”. SINTX was incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 10, 1996 (and was previously known as Amedica Corporation). The Company is an OEM advanced ceramics materials company focused on providing solutions in a variety of medical, industrial, armor and antipathogenic applications. SINTX is a 25-year-old company that has grown over time from focusing on the research and development of silicon nitride for use in human interbody implants to becoming an advanced ceramics company engaged in many different fields, which has enabled the business to focus on core competencies. The core strength of the Company is the manufacturing, research, and development of advanced ceramics for external partners. The Company presently manufactures silicon nitride powders and components in its FDA registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified, and ASD9100D certified manufacturing facility. The Company’s products are primarily sold in the United States.
The Company is focused on building revenue generating opportunities in four business industries, namely, antipathogenic, armor, industrial, and biomedical connecting with current and new customers, partners and manufacturers to help realize the goal of leveraging expertise in high-tech ceramics to create new, innovative opportunities across these sectors. We also expect our continued investment in research and development to provide additional revenue opportunities.
The Company’s initial focus was the development and commercialization of products made from silicon nitride for use in spinal fusion and hip and knee replacement applications. SINTX believes it is the first and only manufacturer to use silicon nitride in medical applications primarily focused on spine fusion therapies. Since then, we have developed other applications for our silicon nitride technology as well as utilizing our expertise in the use of ceramic materials in other applications as well. In July 2021, the Company acquired the equipment and obtained certain proprietary know-how rights with which it intends to develop, manufacture and commercialize protective armor plates from boron carbide and a composite material of silicon carbide and boron carbide for military, law enforcement and civilian uses (see Note 14). The protective armor plate operations will be housed in SINTX Armor.
On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its retail spine business to CTL Medical, a Dallas, Texas-based privately held medical device manufacturer. As a result of the sale, CTL Medical became the exclusive owner of the Company’s portfolio of metal and silicon nitride spine products, as well as access to future silicon nitride spine technologies developed by the Company. The Company’s name, Amedica, was also transferred to CTL Medical, which is now CTL Amedica. The Company serves as CTL’s exclusive OEM provider of silicon nitride products. Manufacturing, R&D, and all intellectual property related to the core, non-spine, biomaterial technology including silicon nitride remains with the Company.
On October 30, 2018, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to SINTX Technologies, Inc. The Company also changed its trading symbol on the NASDAQ Capital Market to “SINT”.
The Company’s new corporate brand reflects both the Company’s core competence in the science and production of silicon nitride ceramics and other ceramics, as well as encouraging prospects for the future, as an OEM supplier of spine implants to CTL Amedica, and multiple opportunities outside of spine.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2021, the most significant estimate relates to derivative liabilities relating to common stock warrants.

| Liquidity and Capital Resources | Liquidity and Capital Resources
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $7.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of $7.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $248.3 million and $241.1 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. To date, the Company’s operations have been principally financed from proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common stock and, to a lesser extent, cash generated from product sales. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase sales, and/or raise additional funds through the capital markets. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations or obtain additional financing is uncertain.
The Company is actively generating additional scientific and clinical data to have it published in leading industry publications. The unique features of our advanced ceramic materials are not well known, and we believe the publication of such data would help sales efforts as the Company approaches new prospects. The Company is also making additional changes to the sales strategy, including a focus on revenue growth by expanding the use of silicon nitride in other areas outside of spinal fusion applications. The Company has also acquired equipment and certain proprietary know-how for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and commercializing armored plates made from boron carbide and a composite of boron carbide and silicon carbide for military, law enforcement and other civilian uses.
The Company has common stock that is publicly traded and has been able to successfully raise capital when needed since the date of the Company’s initial public offering in February 2014. On February 6, 2020, the Company closed on a rights offering to its stockholders of units, consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants, for gross proceeds of $9.4 million, which excludes underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.2 million. Additionally, during the period of June 2020 through August 2020, the Company closed four registered direct offerings of shares of its common stock, priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules, resulting in the issuance of a total of shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $20.9 million, before considering issuance costs of approximately $1.6 million (see Note 9).
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an at-the-market (2019 ATM) equity distribution agreement with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) under which the Company could sell, from time to time, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold shares of common stock under the 2019 ATM, raising approximately $0.8 million before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses of approximately $0.034 million. As of September 30, 2021, no funding capacity is available under the 2019 ATM. (see Note 9).
On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into an at-the-market Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2021 Distribution Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15.0 million through Maxim, as agent. As of September 30, 2021, there have been no sales of shares of common stock under the 2021 Distribution Agreement.
Management has concluded existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months, or through November 2022.

| Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic | Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect the Company’s operations and those of third parties on which the Company relies. In response to the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure safety of employees and continuity of business operations, we temporarily restricted access to the facility, with our administrative employees continuing their work remotely and limited the number of staff in our manufacturing facility. We implemented protective measures such as wearing of face masks, maintaining social distancing, and additional cleaning. Beginning in 2021, we have offered vaccination incentives. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial markets may reduce the Company’s ability to access capital, which could negatively impact the Company’s short-term and long-term liquidity. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on its business, financing or other activities or on healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which we rely.

| New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that no other pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.
