NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Soliton, Inc. (“Soliton” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 27, 2012. The Company operates in one segment as a medical device company organized to develop and commercialize products utilizing its proprietary Rapid Acoustic Pulse ("RAP") technology platform. The Company is a pre-revenue stage company with its first products being prepared to launch for the removal of tattoos and the reduction of cellulite. The Company received clearance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") for its tattoo removal indication in June of 2019 and for the temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite in January of 2021. The Company is based in Houston, Texas. Upon completion of the development of its products and regulatory clearances to market such products, the Company anticipates revenue will be driven by the sale of its RAP console and disposable cartridges to dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other physician offices, as well as medi-spas under the supervision of a doctor.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. The December 31, 2020 unaudited condensed balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Segments

The Company operates in one reportable segment based on management’s view of its business for purposes of evaluating performance and making operating decisions.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include work performed but not yet billed by contract manufacturers, engineers and research organizations, the valuation of equity related instruments, depreciable lives of long-lived assets (including property and equipment and intangible assets), and the valuation allowance related to deferred taxes. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the macroeconomic environment in the United States and globally, including our business, financial condition and results of operations. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact our estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. These estimates relate to certain accounts including, but not limited to, the valuation allowance related to deferred taxes, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. The magnitude of the impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer and provider behavior in response to the pandemic and such governmental actions, and the economic and operating conditions that we may face in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Merger Agreement

On May 8, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AbbVie Inc. (“AbbVie”) and Scout Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie (“Merger Sub”), under which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AbbVie (the “Merger”).

Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding share of Company common stock, other than shares owned by the Company, AbbVie or Merger Sub (which will be cancelled) and shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law, will automatically be converted into the right to receive $22.60 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

Each stock option outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price that would be due in cash upon exercise of such stock option. Each restricted stock unit award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration. Each warrant to purchase Company common stock outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to the warrant, multiplied by the Merger Consideration over (ii) the number of shares of common stock subject to the warrant, multiplied by the per share exercise price of such warrant.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and (iii) that no judgment or law is in effect that enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Merger. Moreover, each party’s obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain other conditions, including (a) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality exceptions), (b) the other party’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (c) in the case of AbbVie and Merger Sub only, (i) the absence of any pending claim, proceeding or other action by a governmental authority that seeks to prevent, prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Merger or materially limit AbbVie’s ability to own, control, direct, manage or operate the Company and (ii) the absence of any effect, change, event, development or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is continuing. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, closing of the Merger is expected to occur in the second half of 2021.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and has agreed to certain other operating covenants and to not take certain specified actions prior to the consummation of the Merger, as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement. The Company has also agreed to convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that, subject to certain exceptions, the Board recommend that the Company’s stockholders approve the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and AbbVie, including, among others, the right of (1) the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Proposal (subject to the Company’s compliance with certain obligations under the Merger Agreement related to such Superior Proposal and such termination) and (2) AbbVie to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Board changes its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, including in the event of termination as described in (1) or (2) above, the Company will be required to pay AbbVie a termination fee of $18.6 million.

In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances involving failure to obtain clearance under the HSR Act to consummate the Merger (or failure to remove certain legal restraints, or to resolve certain pending claims or proceedings, arising under antitrust laws with respect to the Merger) within six months from the date of the Merger Agreement, subject to two extensions of three months each (provided other closing conditions are satisfied), or involving a non-appealable legal restraint of the Merger arising under antitrust laws, AbbVie may be required to pay the Company a reverse termination fee of up to $20.0 million.

Material Uncertainties

The Company is an early-stage Emerging Growth Company ("EGC") and has not generated any revenues to date. As such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net losses of $7.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and $13.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and had net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of $9.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $83.6 million, working capital of $17.7 million and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $20.8 million. The Company does not expect to experience positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future and anticipates incurring operating losses for the next few years as it supports the commercial launch of its products and continues to invest in research and development for additional indications in the Company's pipeline. The Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand of $20.8 million as of June 30, 2021 and reverse termination fee payments that would be made by AbbVie should the Merger not be consummated by November 8, 2021 will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.

These factors raise uncertainties about the Company's ability to fund operations in future years. If the Company needs additional capital or financing to continue to execute its business plan or a change to its business plan, including obtaining additional regulatory clearance for its products currently under development, and commercializing and generating revenues from products under development, there is no assurance that additional capital or financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to raise capital or obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect this uncertainty.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Unvested restricted stock awards contain dividend rights and are considered participating securities as contemplated for the computations of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share. These securities do not participate in losses and accordingly no such allocation has been made in the periods presented. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2021, potentially dilutive securities included options to purchase 4,266,275 common shares, warrants to purchase 529,141 common shares and unvested restricted stock of 283,348 shares. 

As of June 30, 2020, potentially dilutive securities included options to purchase 3,316,050 common shares, warrants to purchase 1,324,608 common shares and unvested restricted stock of 133,340 shares.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Given the Company's status as an EGC, the Company may adopt this ASU in accordance with the private company guidance which has deferred the effective date to years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The modified retrospective transition approach applies to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has the option to instead apply the provisions at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Given the Company's status as an EGC, the Company may adopt the amendments of this update for years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.

9

The Company does not believe that these or other recently issued effective standards, or standards issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had an effect on previously reported expenses between general and administrative and research and development.

Note 2 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Prepaid insurance	$	376	$	49
Prepaid software	51		52
Other prepaids and receivables	693		40
Total prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	1,120	$	141

As of June 30, 2021, other prepaids and receivables largely included the sale of previously purchased components used in the manufacturing of our devices back to our contract manufacturer at June 30, 2021 for $0.6 million and payments made to vendors for work that has not yet been completed and payments made as a result of listing requirements for public companies.

Note 3 - Property and Equipment

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net carrying value of property and equipment was approximately $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and included $0.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of construction-in-process for equipment being built and software being developed but not yet placed into service.

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies

On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into a Patent and Technology License Agreement with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center ("MD Anderson"). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company obtained a royalty-bearing, worldwide, exclusive license to intellectual property including patent rights related to the patents and technology the Company uses. Under the agreement, the Company pays a nonrefundable annual maintenance fee which escalates each anniversary and is currently in the mid-five digits. Additionally, the Company agreed to a running royalty percentage of net sales in the mid-single digits. The specific patents initially subject to the agreement expire between 2031 and 2032.

All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MD Anderson in filing, prosecuting and maintaining the licensed patents have been and shall continue to be assumed by the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for expenses related to this agreement.

As the inventor of the intellectual property licensed from MD Anderson, Dr. Capelli, the Company's Vice Chairman, Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder, is entitled to 50% of the license income (which is determined after MD Anderson recoups any costs associated therewith) that the Company is required to pay to MD Anderson pursuant to the Company's license agreement with MD Anderson. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Dr. Capelli was entitled to receive $42.5 thousand from MD Anderson. In addition, Dr. Capelli is entitled to 50% of the proceeds (after the recoupment of any costs associated therewith) from the sale by MD Anderson of 175,000 shares issued to MD Anderson in connection with the license agreement.

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had contractual purchase obligations for engineering and design services of $1.6 million to Emphysys, Inc. ("Emphysys"). This commitment is for services used in the ordinary course of business and does not represent excess commitments or loss contracts. The remaining minimum purchase obligation is $1.6 million for the 12 month

10

period ending June 30, 2022. If we fail to spend such minimum annual amounts or if the Company terminates the addendum without cause, the Company will be required to pay Emphysys an early termination fee of no more than $0.2 million.

On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into a manufacturing service agreement (the "Agreement") with Sanmina Corporation ("Sanmina"). The Agreement states that Sanmina will provide the Company with certain manufactured products for a one year period, with pricing adjusted for material variations of market prices for components, parts and raw material, including variations resulting from allocations, shortages or tariffs. In addition, pricing will be based on the forecasted volumes provided by the Company and the projected inventory turns as agreed by both parties. The Company has issued purchase orders under this agreement that commit the Company to purchase $1.2 million in manufactured goods from Sanmina.

Either party may terminate the Agreement or an order under the Agreement for default, if the other party materially breaches the Agreement; provided, however, no termination shall occur until thirty days after the defaulting party is notified in writing of the material breach and has failed to cure or give adequate assurances of performance within the thirty day period after notice of material breach. In addition, the Company may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon thirty days’ prior written notice and may terminate any order under the Agreement for any reason upon 120 days’ (before scheduled shipment) prior written notice. Sanmina may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon ninety days’ notice. In the event the Agreement or an order under the Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a breach by Sanmina, the Company is required to pay Sanmina termination charges equal to (i) the contract price for all finished product existing at the time of termination; (ii) Sanmina’s cost (including labor, components and applicable mark-ups per the pricing model) for all work in process; and (iii) the cost of components ordered by Sanmina pursuant to the Agreement.

The Company entered into a manufacturing services agreement with Paramit Corporation ("Paramit") on March 22, 2021 for the production of hand pieces. The agreement states that Paramit will provide the Company with certain manufactured products at prices and quantities to be agreed upon by the parties through an issued and accepted purchase order. Quantities agreed upon by both parties in an issued and accepted purchase order may only be cancelled for units to be received after the initial 60 days. The Company has issued purchase orders under this agreement that commit the Company to purchase $0.7 million in manufactured goods from Paramit.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases space for its corporate office, which provides for an original 63 month term beginning on February 1, 2016, with initial rent payments of $7.6 thousand per month that escalate annually to a maximum of $8.9 thousand per month through the expiration of the agreement. On September 15, 2020, the Company entered into a 12 month extension of its corporate office lease. Total rent expense under this office space lease arrangement for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $24.8 thousand and $23.1 thousand, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $48.4 thousand and $46.7 thousand, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2021 was $0.1 million through the lease term ending April 30, 2022.

Letter of Credit

The Company has an irrevocable letter of credit which supports its obligations to pay or perform according to the requirements of an underlying agreement with a certain vendor. Such letter of credit has an initial term of one year, renews automatically for an additional year and can only be modified or canceled with the approval of the beneficiary. As of June 30, 2021, the letter of credit was not used.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to claims in legal proceedings. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As previously disclosed, on May 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with AbbVie and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Merger. In connection with the Merger, the following complaints have been filed against the Company and the members of the Company's board of directors: Musanto v. Soliton, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-05088 (S.D.N.Y. June 9, 2021); Whitfield v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05330 (S.D.N.Y. June 16, 2021); O’Guin v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05359 (S.D.N.Y. June 17, 2021); Wiklund v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05386 (S.D.N.Y. June 18, 2021); Boland v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05391 (S.D.N.Y. June 18, 2021); Jabaloy v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No.

1:21-cv-03488 (E.D.N.Y. June 21, 2021); Eder v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05474 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021); Post v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05496 (S.D.N.Y. June 23, 2021); Ciccotelli v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 2:21-cv-02843 (E.D. Pa. June 25, 2021); Walker v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-00928 (D. Del. June 29, 2021); Sheridan v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05656 (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2021); Siljanovski v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05935 (S.D.N.Y. July 9, 2021) (collectively, the “Complaints”). Each of the Complaints asserted claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, alleging that the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) with respect to the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on July 20, 2021 omitted to disclose certain facts. In addition, the Musanto Complaint alleged that the named directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties by approving the Merger Agreement through a flawed and unfair process and by failing to not make complete and accurate disclosures regarding this process and that the Company aided and abetted the alleged breaches. Each of the Complaints sought to enjoin or rescind the Merger and requests attorneys’ fees and damages in an unspecified amount. The Company also received a demand for books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The demand sought books and records related to the Merger, the independence and disinterestedness of the Company’s board of directors and the Definitive Proxy Statement in order to investigate whether any wrongdoing or mismanagement took place in connection with the Merger. While the Company believed that the Complaints lacked merit and that the disclosures set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement complied fully with applicable law, the Company determined to voluntarily supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement, as set forth in the Company’s Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 15, 2021, solely to avoid the expense, burden and risk associated with any litigation matter.

Employment Arrangements

The Company has agreements with certain employees to provide benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination. In addition, the Company has adopted a severance policy for certain key members of executive management to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination without cause. On May 8, 2021, the Board approved an amendment to the severance policy to cover all employees. In total, given the amendments to employee agreements, these benefits would amount to $4.8 million using the rate of compensation in effect at June 30, 2021.

On May 8, 2021, the Board approved the granting of retention bonuses to certain non-executive employees for an amount equal to (a) three months of annual salary, if the Merger has a closing or termination date that is on or prior to November 8, 2021, or (b) six months of annual salary, if the Merger has a closing or termination date that is after November 8, 2021. In total, these benefits would aggregate to $0.4 million if the Merger closes or terminates on or prior to November 8, 2021 and $0.7 million if the Merger closes or terminates after November 8, 2021.

Note 6 - Subsequent Events

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act")

The Merger is subject to the requirements of the HSR Act, as amended, which provides that the Merger may not be completed until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act is terminated or expires. On June 2, 2021, the Company and AbbVie filed the requisite notification and report forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). Following informal discussions with the staff at the FTC, AbbVie and the Company have agreed to voluntarily provide the FTC with additional time in which to review the Merger. On July 2, 2021, AbbVie, as the acquiring party, voluntarily withdrew its pre-merger notification and report form under the HSR Act. In accordance with the regulations under the HSR Act, AbbVie resubmitted its HSR Act filing on July 7, 2021, commencing a new 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act, which expired at 11:59 p.m. ET on August 6, 2021. Withdrawing and refiling pre-merger notifications is a standard procedure in order to provide additional time for antitrust review of certain transactions. The Company and AbbVie continue to work cooperatively with the FTC staff in their review of the proposed transaction and continue to expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or permitted waiver of the conditions to closing.

On August 6, 2021, the Company and AbbVie each received a request for additional information and documentary material (the "Second Request") from the FTC in connection with the FTC's review of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and AbbVie have certified substantial compliance with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. The Company and AbbVie continue to work cooperatively with the FTC staff in its review of the proposed transaction, and continue to expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or permitted waiver of the conditions to closing.

Stockholder Meeting to Adopt the Merger Agreement

On July 20, 2021, the Company held a special meeting of its stockholders in Houston, Texas. At this meeting, the stockholders of the Company adopted the Merger Agreement.

Overview

We are a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing our proprietary designed acoustic shockwave technology platform referred to as RAP. We are a pre-revenue stage company with our first

16

product being prepared to launch for the removal of tattoos and the reduction of cellulite. Our RAP device uses rapid pulses of designed acoustic shockwaves to disrupt cellular structures in the dermal and subdermal tissue. The uniqueness of our designed shockwave allows us to target the differential in stiffness between cellular structures and generate a shearing effect that we believe represents a platform technology potentially useful in tattoo removal and cellulite treatment, for which we have received FDA clearance and fibrotic scar treatment, which has not yet received FDA clearance. We believe the high repetition rate, rapid rise and fall of the wave, and significant peak pressure delivered in a non-focused manner make our shockwave significantly different from other available shockwave technologies. Importantly, our technology allows the disruption of targeted structures within the skin with only minimal discomfort and without additional treatment-related downtime for tattoo removal or any downtime for cellulite treatment.

We received clearance for our initial device from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") on May 24, 2019 allowing our device to be used as an accessory to the 1064 nm Q-switched laser for black ink tattoo removal on patients with skin tones on the Fitzpatrick Skin Type scale between I and III. When used in conjunction with existing lasers for tattoo removal, our technology allows a doctor to treat a patient multiple times in a single office visit and significantly reduces the number of office visits required to remove a tattoo, allowing a dramatic acceleration of the tattoo removal process. In January 2021, we received additional clearance from the FDA for temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite. Used on a stand-alone basis, our technology generates, on average, an approximate 30% reduction in the cellulite severity score ("CSS") for subjects in a single treatment without breaking the skin. RAP cellulite treatments cause only minimal discomfort, do not require anesthesia and do not result in any significant treatment-related side effects or patient downtime.

We had previously planned to launch our first product in the second quarter of 2021, but experienced delays due to the focus of our resources being divided between the launch and managing the Merger. Further, we had certain delays in the manufacturing and final test process of the initial devices driven primarily by the impact of COVID-19 on our software development team based in India and certain suppliers' ability to provide timely components. We now plan to launch our RAP device for tattoo removal and cellulite reduction in the third quarter of 2021, initiating the first shipments into select cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery offices. We expect to generate revenue from both the initial sale of the device and from the recurring sales of disposable cartridges that are required by the device to deliver the various therapies. We refer to this as our "razor and blade" recurring revenue model. Cartridges are designed to be specific to the intended indication (for example, tattoo cartridges are different from cellulite cartridges) and each treatment session requires one or more cartridges. We expect that one tattoo cartridge will facilitate up to four standard laser treatment passes in a single office visit for the average-sized tattoo (about the size of a deck of playing cards). Therefore, a patient with an average-sized tattoo that requires three office visits will require the use of three cartridges. One cellulite cartridge will treat one leg and buttocks area in a single session for an average patient. As such, most cellulite patients will require two cartridges for their initial treatment of both legs and buttocks. We anticipate that patients may benefit from a second maintenance treatment using a single cartridge across the full treatment area, but have not yet demonstrated this in clinical trials.

We also have ongoing clinical programs in several indications, which, if successful, will allow us to expand commercialization of our products into additional markets. As a stand-alone device, we believe RAP has the potential to reduce the effects of fibrosis and stimulate beneficial fibroblast behavior. This capability enables the targeting of fibrotic (keloid and hypertrophic) scars, as well as smoothing and tightening skin. Importantly, we are planning to initiate additional proof-of-concept clinical trials of our RAP device in the treatment of keloid and hypertrophic scars as well as the improvement of skin laxity in 2021. Further, we plan to initiate additional clinical work in tattoo removal with multi-colored ink tattoos and to demonstrate the effect of multiple treatments in the improvement in the appearance of cellulite. We recently announced results from a study in mice demonstrating the ability of RAP to significantly reduce liver fibrosis, further validating the scientific basis for RAP’s mechanism of action and potentially widening the range of indications for which RAP may be suitable. Our technology has not been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of scars or fibrosis.

Commercial upgrades to our Generation 2.0 device to improve usability were subsequently approved through a Special 510(k) in March 2020. This improved device was utilized in our recently completed pivotal cellulite trial, the data from which was included in the 510(k) pre-market application of our Generation 2.0 device for the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite filed on June 30, 2020 and approved in January of 2021. Further commercial upgrades to our Generation 2.0 device were approved through a Special 510(k) in April of 2021, clearing the regulatory path to the launch of our first commercial devices. We also intend to secure regulatory approval in international markets and are currently developing a regulatory strategy for these markets.

Our ongoing research and development activities are primarily focused on optimizing the commercial device and cartridge design for tattoo removal and cellulite reduction and then developing our system and treatment head for additional indications. In addition to these development activities, we are exploring additional uses of RAP technology for the dermatology, plastic surgery and aesthetic markets.

17

The medical technology and aesthetic product markets are highly competitive and dynamic and are characterized by rapid and substantial technological development and product innovations. We will compete with many other technologies for consumer demand. Further, the aesthetic industry in which we will operate is particularly vulnerable to economic trends. The decision to undergo a procedure from our systems will be driven by consumer demand. Procedures performed using our systems will be elective procedures, the cost of which must be borne by the patient and are not reimbursable through government or private health insurance. In times of economic uncertainty or recession, individuals often reduce the amount of money that they spend on discretionary items, including aesthetic procedures. The general economic difficulties being experienced and the lack of availability of consumer credit for some of our customers' patients could adversely affect the markets in which we will operate.

Recent Developments

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On May 8, 2021, we entered into the Merger Agreement with AbbVie and Merger Sub, under which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AbbVie.

Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding share of our common stock, other than shares owned by us, AbbVie or Merger Sub (which will be cancelled) and shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law, will automatically be converted into the right to receive $22.60 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

Each stock option outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price that would be due in cash upon exercise of such stock option. Each restricted stock unit award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration. Each warrant to purchase our common stock outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to the warrant, multiplied by the Merger Consideration over (ii) the number of shares of common stock subject to the warrant, multiplied by the per share exercise price of such warrant.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the our common stock, (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and (iii) that no judgment or law is in effect that enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Merger. Moreover, each party’s obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain other conditions, including (a) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality exceptions), (b) the other party’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (c) in the case of AbbVie and Merger Sub only, (i) the absence of any pending claim, proceeding or other action by a governmental authority that seeks to prevent, prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Merger or materially limit AbbVie’s ability to own, control, direct, manage or operate us and (ii) the absence of any effect, change, event, development or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is continuing. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, closing of the Merger is expected to occur in the second half of 2021.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, we have agreed to operate our business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and have agreed to certain other operating covenants and to not take certain specified actions prior to the consummation of the Merger, as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for us and AbbVie, including, among others, the right of (1) the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Proposal (subject to our compliance with certain obligations under the Merger Agreement related to such Superior Proposal and such termination) and (2) AbbVie to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Board changes its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, including in the event of termination as described in (1) or (2) above, we will be required to pay AbbVie a termination fee of $18.6 million.

18

In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances involving failure to obtain clearance under the HSR Act to consummate the Merger (or failure to remove certain legal restraints, or to resolve certain pending claims or proceedings, arising under antitrust laws with respect to the Merger) within six months from the date of the Merger Agreement, subject to two extensions of three months each (provided other closing conditions are satisfied), or involving a non-appealable legal restraint of the Merger arising under antitrust laws, AbbVie may be required to pay us a reverse termination fee of up to $20.0 million.

On July 20, 2021, we held a special meeting of our stockholders in Houston, Texas. At this meeting, our stockholders adopted the Merger Agreement.

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act") Filing

The Merger is subject to the requirements of the HSR Act, which provides that the Merger may not be completed until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act is terminated or expires. On June 2, 2021, the Company and AbbVie filed the requisite notification and report forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). Following informal discussions with the staff at the FTC, AbbVie and the Company have agreed to voluntarily provide the FTC with additional time in which to review the Merger. On July 2, 2021, AbbVie, as the acquiring party, voluntarily withdrew its pre-merger notification and report form under the HSR Act. In accordance with the regulations under the HSR Act, AbbVie resubmitted its HSR Act filing on July 7, 2021, commencing a new 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act, which expired at 11:59 p.m. ET on August 6, 2021. Withdrawing and refiling pre-merger notifications is a standard procedure in order to provide additional time for antitrust review of certain transactions. The Company and AbbVie continue to work cooperatively with the FTC staff in their review of the proposed transaction and continue to expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or permitted waiver of the conditions to closing.

On August 6, 2021, the Company and AbbVie each received a request for additional information and documentary material (the "Second Request") from the FTC in connection with the FTC's review of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and AbbVie have certified substantial compliance with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. The Company and AbbVie continue to work cooperatively with the FTC staff in its review of the proposed transaction, and continue to expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or permitted waiver of the conditions to closing.

On April 27, 2021, the FDA cleared our special 510(k) application submitted on March 31, 2021 for modifications to our device planned for commercial launch.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Below is a summary of the results of operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		Change ($)		% Change
Operating expenses
Research and development	$	1,596	$	1,152	$	444	38.54	%
Sales and marketing	1,168		35		1,133		3,237.14	%
Depreciation	151		71		80		112.68	%

Total operating expenses	$	7,915	$	3,138	$	4,777	152.23	%

Research and development. Research and development expenses increased by $0.4 million compared to the same period in 2020, mainly due to increases in expenses for animal research of $0.1 million, salaries and related costs of $0.1 million, engineering related costs of $0.1 million and other costs totaling $0.1 million.

19

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.1 million compared to the same period in 2020, largely attributed to increases in expenses for salaries and related costs (including stock-based compensation) of $0.6 million and marketing costs to support the launch of our products of $0.5 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to increases in professional fees and expenses associated with the Merger of $2.2 million, stock-based compensation of $0.6 million, and salaries and related costs of $0.3 million.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		Change ($)		% Change
Operating expenses
Research and development	$	3,052	$	2,294	$	758	33.04	%
Sales and marketing	1,879		86		1,793		2,084.88	%
Depreciation	242		142		100		70.42	%

Total operating expenses	$	13,145	$	6,413	$	6,732	104.97	%

Research and development. Research and development expenses increased by $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2020, mainly due to increases in expenses for salaries and related costs of $0.4 million, engineering related costs of $0.2 million, and animal research of $0.2 million.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1.8 million compared to the same period in 2020, largely attributed to increases in expenses for salaries and related costs (including stock-based compensation) of $1.1 million and marketing costs to support the launch of our products of $0.7 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to increases in professional fees and expenses associated with the Merger of $2.6 million, stock-based compensation of $0.8 million, salaries and related costs of $0.6 million, and other costs of $0.1 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 30, 2021, we had $20.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $0.2 million in restricted cash supporting a letter of credit benefiting our contract manufacturer.

We will not generate revenue until we have completed the commercialization of our RAP units and initiated sales of the units. We expect to continue to invest in our research and development efforts to support our current initiatives.

We estimate our current cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash resources of $20.8 million at June 30, 2021 and reverse termination fee payments that would be made by AbbVie should the Merger not be consummated by November 8, 2021 are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate incurring operating losses for the next several years as we complete the development of our products, seek requested regulatory clearances to market such products and support the commercial launch of our products. These factors raise uncertainties about our ability to fund operations in future years. If we need to raise additional capital in order to continue to execute our business plan, including obtaining additional regulatory clearance for our products currently under development and commercializing and generating revenues from products under development, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us. A failure to raise sufficient capital could adversely impact our ability to achieve our intended business objectives and meet our financial obligations as they become due and payable.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has resulted in travel restrictions and temporary shut-downs of non-essential businesses in many states in the United States. We are able to remain open but have required our employees to work from home for a portion of the work week. We have experienced interruptions in our supply chain due to global part shortages and labor shortages from COVID-19. Due to many uncertainties, we are unable to estimate the pandemic’s financial impact or duration at this time.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively (in thousands):

	2021		2020
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(9,919)	$	(6,479)
Net cash used in investing activities	(1,102)		(137)
Net cash provided by financing activities	52		32,046
Net (decrease)/increase in cash	$	(10,969)	$	25,430

Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $9.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and consisted of a net loss of $13.1 million offset by a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $0.5 million and non-cash items of $2.7 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities included sources of cash from increases in accounts payable of $0.8 million, accrued liabilities of $0.4 million, and inventory of $0.3 million offset by the use of cash for prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.0 million. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses was driven primarily by increased professional fees and other costs associated with the Merger and sales and marketing expenses as we prepared for our launch. The decrease in inventory was driven by the sale of previously purchased components back to our contract manufacturer. The change in prepaid expenses, including other prepaids and receivables, was largely driven by the sale of previously purchased components used in the manufacture of our devices back to our contract manufacturer at June 30, 2021 for $0.6 million and new insurance policies, reporting software for public companies and prepayments for work that had not yet been performed by contractors by June 30, 2021 for $0.4 million. Non-cash items consisted of stock-based compensation of $2.4 million and depreciation expense of $0.3 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and consisted of a net loss of $6.4 million and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.7 million offset by non-cash items of $1.6 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities included a use of cash for prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.3 million, inventory of $0.2 million, accounts payable of $0.6 million and accrued liabilities of $0.6 million. The increase in prepaid expenses was largely driven by new insurance policies, reporting software for public companies, and prepayments for work that had not yet been performed by an engineering contractor by June 30, 2020. The decrease in accounts payable was mainly due to an increase in invoices received at December 31, 2019 from our largest vendors. The decrease in accrued liabilities was driven primarily by the settlement of accruals for several large vendors that were paid during the period. Non-cash items consisted of stock-based compensation of $1.4 million and depreciation expense of $0.2 million.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.1 million compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in net cash used was primarily due to $1.0 million utilized towards the purchase of property and equipment primarily as a result of the investment in our research equipment and tooling as we prepared for our launch.

Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.1 million compared to $32.0 million for the same period in 2020. The $0.1 million in 2021 was a result of net proceeds from the exercise of warrants for cash during the period compared to $32.0 million for the same period in 2020 due to cash proceeds received from our June 2020 Offering.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

On April 5, 2012, we entered into a Patent and Technology License Agreement with MD Anderson. Pursuant to the agreement, we obtained a royalty-bearing, worldwide, exclusive license to intellectual property including patent rights related to the patents and technology we use. Under the agreement, we agreed to pay a nonrefundable license documentation fee in the high-five digits 30 days after the effective date of the agreement. Additionally, we agreed to pay a nonrefundable annual maintenance fee starting on the third anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, which escalates each anniversary and is currently in the upper-five digits. Additionally, we agreed to a running royalty percentage of net sales in the mid-single digits. We also agreed to make certain milestone payments in the low to mid-six digits and sublicensing payments. The specific patents initially subject to the agreement expire between 2031 and 2032.

MD Anderson has the right to terminate the agreement upon advance notice in the event of a default by Soliton. The agreement will expire upon the expiration of the licensed intellectual property. The rights obtained by us pursuant to the

21

agreement are made subject to the rights of the U.S. government to the extent that the technology covered by the licensed intellectual property was developed under a funding agreement between MD Anderson and the U.S. government. To the extent that is the case, our license agreement with, and the intellectual property rights we have licensed from MD Anderson, are subject to such a funding agreement and any superior rights that the U.S. government may have with respect to the licensed intellectual property. Therefore, there is a risk that the intellectual property rights we have licensed from MD Anderson may be non-exclusive or void if a funding agreement related to the licensed technology between MD Anderson and the U.S. government does exist and depending on the terms of such an agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not believe our RAP technology received any federal funding. All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MD Anderson in filing, prosecuting and maintaining the licensed patents have been and shall continue to be assumed by us. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we paid approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for expenses related to this agreement.

As the inventor of the intellectual property licensed from MD Anderson, Dr. Capelli, our Vice Chairman, Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder, is entitled to 50% of the license income (which is determined after MD Anderson recoups any costs associated therewith) that we are required to pay to MD Anderson pursuant to our license agreement with MD Anderson. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Dr. Capelli was entitled to receive $42.5 thousand from MD Anderson. In addition, Dr. Capelli is entitled to 50% of the proceeds (after the recoupment of any costs associated therewith) from the sale by MD Anderson of 175,000 shares issued to MD Anderson in connection with the license agreement.

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2021, we had contractual purchase obligations for engineering and design services of $1.6 million to Emphysys, Inc. ("Emphysys"). This commitment is for services used in the ordinary course of business and does not represent excess commitments or loss contracts. The remaining minimum purchase obligation is $1.6 million for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2022. If we fail to spend such minimum annual amounts or if the Company terminates the Addendum without cause, the Company will be required to pay Emphysys an early termination fee of no more than $0.2 million.

On March 6, 2020, we entered into a manufacturing service agreement (the "Agreement") with Sanmina Corporation ("Sanmina"). The Agreement states that Sanmina will provide us with certain manufactured products for a one year period, with pricing adjusted for material variations of market prices for components, parts and raw material, including variations resulting from allocations, shortages or tariffs. In addition, pricing will be based on the forecasted volumes provided by us and the projected inventory turns as agreed by both parties. We have issued purchase orders under this agreement that commit us to purchase $1.2 million in manufactured goods from Sanmina.

Either party may terminate the Agreement, or an order under the Agreement, for default, if the other party materially breaches the Agreement; provided, however, no termination shall occur until thirty days after the defaulting party is notified in writing of the material breach and has failed to cure or give adequate assurances of performance within the thirty day period after notice of material breach. In addition, we may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon thirty days’ prior written notice and may terminate any order under the Agreement for any reason upon 120 days’ (before scheduled shipment) prior written notice. Sanmina may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon ninety days’ notice. In the event the Agreement or an order under the Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a breach by Sanmina, we are required to pay Sanmina termination charges equal to (i) the contract price for all finished product existing at the time of termination; (ii) Sanmina’s cost (including labor, components and applicable mark-ups per the pricing model) for all work in process; and (iii) the cost of components ordered by Sanmina pursuant to the Agreement.

We entered into a manufacturing services agreement with Paramit Corporation ("Paramit") on March 22, 2021 for the production of hand pieces. The agreement states that Paramit will provide us with certain manufactured products at prices and quantities to be agreed upon by the parties through an issued and accepted purchase order. Quantities agreed upon by both parties in an issued and accepted purchase order may only be cancelled for units to be received after the initial 60 days. We have issued purchase orders under this agreement that commit us to purchase $0.7 million in manufactured goods from Paramit.

Lease Commitments

We lease space for our corporate office, which lease provides for an original 63 month term beginning on February 1, 2016, with initial rent payments of $7.6 thousand per month that escalate annually to a maximum of $8.9 thousand per month through the expiration of the agreement. On September 15, 2020, we entered into a 12 month extension of our corporate office lease. Rent expense for non-cancellable operating leases with scheduled rent increases will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Future minimum lease payments under the operating leases as of June 30, 2021 were $0.1 million through the lease term ending April 30, 2022.

22

Employment Arrangements

We have agreements with key employees to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination. In addition, the Company has adopted a severance policy for certain key members of executive management to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination without cause. May 8, 2021, the Board approved an amendment to the severance policy to cover all employees. In total, given the amendments to employee agreements, these benefits would amount to $4.8 million using the rate of compensation in effect at June 30, 2021.

Amendment to Brad Hauser Employment Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on May 8, 2021, we entered into an amendment (the “Employment Agreement Amendment”) to that certain Employment Agreement, dated October 30, 2020, between the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Brad Hauser (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement Amendment provides that, if Mr. Hauser becomes entitled to payments and/or benefits under the Employment Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Total Payments”) that would result in Mr. Hauser being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Mr. Hauser will be entitled to receive a gross-up payment in an amount such that, after payment by Mr. Hauser of all applicable taxes on the gross-up payment (including any excise tax and any associated interest charges or penalties that could be imposed under Section 4999 of the Code), Mr. Hauser will retain an amount of the gross-up payment equal to the excise tax and any associated interest charges or penalties imposed by Section 4999 upon the Total Payments, such that the net amount retained by Mr. Hauser shall be equal to the net amount of the Total Payments as if the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 was not applicable to the Total Payments, provided that the amount of the gross-up payment to Mr. Hauser will not exceed $250,000.

Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement with Mr. Hauser

On May 8, 2021, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with Mr. Hauser (the “Non-Competition Agreement”). The Non-Competition Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, during Mr. Hauser’s employment with us and until 18 months following the Closing, Mr. Hauser will be prohibited from, directly or indirectly, including on behalf of any person, firm or other entity, (i) actively soliciting for employment any employee of the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates, or anyone who was an employee of the Company or one of its parents, subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates within the six-month period prior to the Closing, or inducing any such employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates, (ii) performing services for any other business, within the United States or any foreign jurisdiction in which we or any of our subsidiaries are then conducting clinical trials, providing services or products or marketing its services or products (or is engaged in active discussions to provide such services), that is engaged in the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution or sale of, or research directed to the development, manufacture, marketing, distribution or sale of, medical or aesthetic solutions or devices in the tattoo-removal or reduction of cellulite markets (a “Competing Business”), (iii) serving as an officer or director (or similar position) of a Competing Business, or (iv) requesting any person, firm or other entity that is a customer of the Company or any of its parents, subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates during Mr. Hauser’s employment with us or during the 18-month period following the Closing to curtail or cancel such customer’s business with us or any of our affiliates.

On May 8, 2021, the Board approved the granting of retention bonuses to certain Company non-executive employees in a lump sum cash incentive payment in an amount equal to (a) three months of annual salary, if the Merger closing or termination date is on or prior to November 8, 2021, or (b) six months of annual salary, if the Merger closing or termination date is after November 8, 2021. In total, these benefits would aggregate to $0.4 million if the Merger closes or terminates on or prior to November 8, 2021 and $0.7 million if the Merger closes or terminates after November 8, 2021.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The financial statements in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies to be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements, including the following: research and development expenses, long-lived assets, intangible assets valuations, accrued liabilities, income tax valuations, warrants, and stock-based compensation. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable in making its judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Management believes its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.

Our accounting policies are more fully described under the heading “Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1 to our Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be realizable or at a minimum annually during the fourth quarter of the year. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if an impairment of such asset is necessary. The effect of any impairment would be to expense the difference between the fair value of such asset and its' carrying value.

Components of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Operating expenses

We classify our operating expenses into four categories: (i) research and development; (ii) sales and marketing; (iii) general and administrative; and (iv) depreciation.

Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of:

•costs incurred to conduct research, such as animal research;

•costs related to the design and development of our technology, including fees paid to contract engineering firms and contract manufacturers;

•salaries and expenses, including stock-based compensation, related to our employees primarily engaged in research and development activities;

•fees paid to clinical consultants, clinical trial sites and vendors, including clinical research organizations, in preparation for clinical trials and our applications with the FDA;

•costs to develop and defend our intellectual property; and

•costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements.

We record accrued expenses for estimated costs of our research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include the conducting of pre-clinical studies, preparation for and conducting of clinical trials, contract engineering and design activities, and other development costs. We record the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and we include these costs in accrued liabilities in the balance sheets and within research and development expense in the statements of operations as they are

24

incurred. These costs are a significant component of our research and development expenses. We record accrued expenses for these costs based on the estimated amount of work completed and in accordance with agreements established with these third parties.

We estimate the amount of work completed through discussions with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued balance in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued estimates. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed may vary from our estimates and could result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low in any particular period. Our accrued expenses are dependent, in part, upon the receipt of timely and accurate reporting from clinical research organizations, engineering firms and other third-party service providers. To date, there have been no material differences from our accrued expenses to actual expenses.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase in the future as we advance our product into and through clinical trials, pursue additional regulatory approvals of our product in the United States, and continue commercial development of our RAP device and replaceable cartridge. The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. The probability of success for our technology may be affected by a variety of factors including: the quality of our product, early clinical data, investment in our clinical program, competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. We may not succeed in achieving all necessary regulatory approvals for our product candidates. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development process or when and to what extent, if any, we will generate revenue from the commercialization and sale of our device.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist of marketing, conferences, web development, advisory boards, salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for sales and marketing personnel, and other miscellaneous expenses. As we commercialize, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase due to the anticipated growth of our business and related infrastructure as well as expanding our sales, marketing and support personnel. We recognize expenses to develop advertising materials as they are incurred.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel related costs, which include salaries, as well as the costs of professional services, such as accounting and legal, facilities, information technology, stock-based compensation for general and administrative personnel, insurance, travel costs and other administrative expenses and patent costs. Specifically, expenses related to the Merger are included in general and administrative expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase due to the Merger, the anticipated growth of our business and related infrastructure, as well as accounting, insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a public company.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on our property and equipment. We depreciate our assets over their estimated useful lives. We estimate research and development equipment and lab equipment to have a five year life; computer equipment and software to have a three year life; furniture to have a three year life; and leasehold improvements to be depreciated over the shorter of the remaining lease term or useful lives of the asset.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation transactions are recognized as compensation expense in the statements of operations based on their fair values on the date of the grant. The expense for equity awards expected to vest is recognized over the applicable vesting period of the stock award using either the straight-line method or the accelerated method, depending on the vesting structure, and is included in general and administrative, research and development or sales and marketing expenses, depending upon the classification of the grantee. We estimate the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This estimate uses assumptions regarding a number of inputs that require us to make significant estimates and judgments. Because we are a new publicly traded common stock, the expected volatility assumption was based on industry peer information.

25

Accounting for warrants

We issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock related to (i) bridge notes issued prior to our IPO, (ii) private investment in public equity ("PIPE") offerings, and (iii) as part of underwriter compensation in 2019 and 2018. We accounted for such warrants in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, which identifies three categories of freestanding financial instruments that are required to be accounted for as a liability. Based on this guidance, we determined, for each issuance, that warrants did not need to be accounted for as a liability. Accordingly, the warrants were classified as equity and are not subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. In addition, we account for issuance costs of warrants issued with debt instruments in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which states proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) are allocated to elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants are accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the debt instrument, which may result in a discount or premium.

Related registration rights agreements for each private placement are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 450-20, Loss Contingencies, which requires measurement of the contingent liability when an entity would be required to deliver shares under a registration payment arrangement, the transfer of consideration is probable and the number of shares to be delivered can be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, there is no liability under the payment arrangement requiring disclosure or recognition.

The fair value of warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the market value of the underlying common stock at the measurement dates, the contractual terms of the warrants, risk-free interest rates and historical volatility of comparable companies' stock. There are no expected dividends.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who serves as our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who serves as our principal accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2021, of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon such evaluation and due to both the limited staffing of the Company at its early stage of development and the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As previously disclosed in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was, and continues to be, ineffective as of June 30, 2021 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls arising from a lack of segregation of duties, and the absence of internal staff with extensive knowledge of SEC financial and GAAP reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to maintain effective segregation

of duties on our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and has concluded that the control deficiency represents a material weakness. In April 2019, an additional experienced staff was hired in the accounting and finance department and in August 2020, an experienced employee was hired in the accounting and finance department to focus on the further development of internal controls. Additionally, we hired one more experienced employee in the accounting and finance department in February of 2021 to further aid in the segregation of duties. In addition, we are retaining appropriate consultants to enhance our knowledge of SEC financial and GAAP reporting and upgrading our accounting system. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we began implementing a new ERP system to improve the previously reported limitations of our financial accounting system. Throughout the first quarter of 2021, we processed all accounting transactions in parallel in both our old and new financial reporting systems to ensure that our new system was properly functioning. In May 2021, we began to rely solely on the new financial reporting system which is capable of properly segregating duties within the system. Furthermore, management added additional mitigating controls with regards to cash disbursements; changes were made in our authorization processes to improve segregation of duties; and we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

Other than as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent calendar quarter that has materially affected, or is 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 involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable. We have insurance policies covering potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.

As previously disclosed, on May 8, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AbbVie Inc. (“AbbVie”) and Scout Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the following complaints have been filed against us and the members of our board of directors: Musanto v. Soliton, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-05088 (S.D.N.Y. June 9, 2021); Whitfield v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05330 (S.D.N.Y. June 16, 2021); O’Guin v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05359 (S.D.N.Y. June 17, 2021); Wiklund v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05386 (S.D.N.Y. June 18, 2021); Boland v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05391 (S.D.N.Y. June 18, 2021); Jabaloy v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-03488 (E.D.N.Y. June 21, 2021); Eder v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05474 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021); Post v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05496 (S.D.N.Y. June 23, 2021); Ciccotelli v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 2:21-cv-02843 (E.D. Pa. June 25, 2021); Walker v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-00928 (D. Del. June 29, 2021); Sheridan v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05656 (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2021); Siljanovski v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05935 (S.D.N.Y. July 9, 2021) (collectively, the “Complaints”). Each of the Complaints asserted claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, alleging that the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) with respect to the special meeting of our stockholders held on July 20, 2021 omitted to disclose certain facts. In addition, the Musanto Complaint alleged that the named directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties by approving the Merger Agreement through a flawed and unfair process and by failing to not make complete and accurate disclosures regarding this process and that we aided and abetted the alleged breaches. Each of the Complaints sought to enjoin or rescind the Merger and requests attorneys’ fees and damages in an unspecified amount. We also received a demand for books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The demand sought books and records related to the Merger, the independence and disinterestedness of our board of directors and the Definitive Proxy Statement in order to investigate whether any wrongdoing or mismanagement took place in connection with the Merger. While we believe that the Complaints lacked merit and that the disclosures set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement complied fully with applicable law, we determined to voluntarily supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement, as set forth in our Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 15, 2021, solely to avoid the expense, burden and risk associated with any litigation matter.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021 (the “Q1 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q”), which are incorporated herein by reference. The risks described in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Q1 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those set forth in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Q1 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as follows:

Supply chain issues related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have caused disruptions to our limited launch timeline and could continue to cause disruptions in the future.

We previously planned to launch our first product in the second quarter of 2021 but experienced delays in the manufacturing and final test process of the initial devices driven primarily by the impact of COVID-19 on our software development team based in India and certain suppliers' ability to provide timely components. As our software development will continue to be performed in India, we cannot be certain that we will not experience further delays in the future. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our suppliers will be able to maintain timely supplies of critical components.

Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Soliton, Inc. (“Soliton” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 27, 2012. The Company operates in one segment as a medical device company organized to develop and commercialize products utilizing its proprietary Rapid Acoustic Pulse ("RAP") technology platform. The Company is a pre-revenue stage company with its first products being prepared to launch for the removal of tattoos and the reduction of cellulite. The Company received clearance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") for its tattoo removal indication in June of 2019 and for the temporary improvement in the appearance of cellulite in January of 2021. The Company is based in Houston, Texas. Upon completion of the development of its products and regulatory clearances to market such products, the Company anticipates revenue will be driven by the sale of its RAP console and disposable cartridges to dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other physician offices, as well as medi-spas under the supervision of a doctor.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. The December 31, 2020 unaudited condensed balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Segments

The Company operates in one reportable segment based on management’s view of its business for purposes of evaluating performance and making operating decisions.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include work performed but not yet billed by contract manufacturers, engineers and research organizations, the valuation of equity related instruments, depreciable lives of long-lived assets (including property and equipment and intangible assets), and the valuation allowance related to deferred taxes. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the macroeconomic environment in the United States and globally, including our business, financial condition and results of operations. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact our estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. These estimates relate to certain accounts including, but not limited to, the valuation allowance related to deferred taxes, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. The magnitude of the impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer and provider behavior in response to the pandemic and such governmental actions, and the economic and operating conditions that we may face in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Merger Agreement

On May 8, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AbbVie Inc. (“AbbVie”) and Scout Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie (“Merger Sub”), under which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AbbVie (the “Merger”).

Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding share of Company common stock, other than shares owned by the Company, AbbVie or Merger Sub (which will be cancelled) and shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law, will automatically be converted into the right to receive $22.60 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

Each stock option outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price that would be due in cash upon exercise of such stock option. Each restricted stock unit award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration. Each warrant to purchase Company common stock outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the number of shares of common stock subject to the warrant, multiplied by the Merger Consideration over (ii) the number of shares of common stock subject to the warrant, multiplied by the per share exercise price of such warrant.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and (iii) that no judgment or law is in effect that enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Merger. Moreover, each party’s obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain other conditions, including (a) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain materiality exceptions), (b) the other party’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (c) in the case of AbbVie and Merger Sub only, (i) the absence of any pending claim, proceeding or other action by a governmental authority that seeks to prevent, prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Merger or materially limit AbbVie’s ability to own, control, direct, manage or operate the Company and (ii) the absence of any effect, change, event, development or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that is continuing. Subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions, closing of the Merger is expected to occur in the second half of 2021.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and has agreed to certain other operating covenants and to not take certain specified actions prior to the consummation of the Merger, as set forth more fully in the Merger Agreement. The Company has also agreed to convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that, subject to certain exceptions, the Board recommend that the Company’s stockholders approve the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and AbbVie, including, among others, the right of (1) the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Proposal (subject to the Company’s compliance with certain obligations under the Merger Agreement related to such Superior Proposal and such termination) and (2) AbbVie to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Board changes its recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that under specified circumstances, including in the event of termination as described in (1) or (2) above, the Company will be required to pay AbbVie a termination fee of $18.6 million.

In connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances involving failure to obtain clearance under the HSR Act to consummate the Merger (or failure to remove certain legal restraints, or to resolve certain pending claims or proceedings, arising under antitrust laws with respect to the Merger) within six months from the date of the Merger Agreement, subject to two extensions of three months each (provided other closing conditions are satisfied), or involving a non-appealable legal restraint of the Merger arising under antitrust laws, AbbVie may be required to pay the Company a reverse termination fee of up to $20.0 million.

Material Uncertainties

The Company is an early-stage Emerging Growth Company ("EGC") and has not generated any revenues to date. As such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net losses of $7.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and $13.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and had net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of $9.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $83.6 million, working capital of $17.7 million and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $20.8 million. The Company does not expect to experience positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future and anticipates incurring operating losses for the next few years as it supports the commercial launch of its products and continues to invest in research and development for additional indications in the Company's pipeline. The Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand of $20.8 million as of June 30, 2021 and reverse termination fee payments that would be made by AbbVie should the Merger not be consummated by November 8, 2021 will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.

These factors raise uncertainties about the Company's ability to fund operations in future years. If the Company needs additional capital or financing to continue to execute its business plan or a change to its business plan, including obtaining additional regulatory clearance for its products currently under development, and commercializing and generating revenues from products under development, there is no assurance that additional capital or financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to raise capital or obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect this uncertainty.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Unvested restricted stock awards contain dividend rights and are considered participating securities as contemplated for the computations of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share. These securities do not participate in losses and accordingly no such allocation has been made in the periods presented. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2021, potentially dilutive securities included options to purchase 4,266,275 common shares, warrants to purchase 529,141 common shares and unvested restricted stock of 283,348 shares. 

As of June 30, 2020, potentially dilutive securities included options to purchase 3,316,050 common shares, warrants to purchase 1,324,608 common shares and unvested restricted stock of 133,340 shares.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Given the Company's status as an EGC, the Company may adopt this ASU in accordance with the private company guidance which has deferred the effective date to years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The modified retrospective transition approach applies to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has the option to instead apply the provisions at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Given the Company's status as an EGC, the Company may adopt the amendments of this update for years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.

The Company does not believe that these or other recently issued effective standards, or standards issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had an effect on previously reported expenses between general and administrative and research and development.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into a Patent and Technology License Agreement with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center ("MD Anderson"). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company obtained a royalty-bearing, worldwide, exclusive license to intellectual property including patent rights related to the patents and technology the Company uses. Under the agreement, the Company pays a nonrefundable annual maintenance fee which escalates each anniversary and is currently in the mid-five digits. Additionally, the Company agreed to a running royalty percentage of net sales in the mid-single digits. The specific patents initially subject to the agreement expire between 2031 and 2032.

All out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MD Anderson in filing, prosecuting and maintaining the licensed patents have been and shall continue to be assumed by the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for expenses related to this agreement.

As the inventor of the intellectual property licensed from MD Anderson, Dr. Capelli, the Company's Vice Chairman, Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder, is entitled to 50% of the license income (which is determined after MD Anderson recoups any costs associated therewith) that the Company is required to pay to MD Anderson pursuant to the Company's license agreement with MD Anderson. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Dr. Capelli was entitled to receive $42.5 thousand from MD Anderson. In addition, Dr. Capelli is entitled to 50% of the proceeds (after the recoupment of any costs associated therewith) from the sale by MD Anderson of 175,000 shares issued to MD Anderson in connection with the license agreement.

Purchase Commitments

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had contractual purchase obligations for engineering and design services of $1.6 million to Emphysys, Inc. ("Emphysys"). This commitment is for services used in the ordinary course of business and does not represent excess commitments or loss contracts. The remaining minimum purchase obligation is $1.6 million for the 12 month

period ending June 30, 2022. If we fail to spend such minimum annual amounts or if the Company terminates the addendum without cause, the Company will be required to pay Emphysys an early termination fee of no more than $0.2 million.

On March 6, 2020, the Company entered into a manufacturing service agreement (the "Agreement") with Sanmina Corporation ("Sanmina"). The Agreement states that Sanmina will provide the Company with certain manufactured products for a one year period, with pricing adjusted for material variations of market prices for components, parts and raw material, including variations resulting from allocations, shortages or tariffs. In addition, pricing will be based on the forecasted volumes provided by the Company and the projected inventory turns as agreed by both parties. The Company has issued purchase orders under this agreement that commit the Company to purchase $1.2 million in manufactured goods from Sanmina.

Either party may terminate the Agreement or an order under the Agreement for default, if the other party materially breaches the Agreement; provided, however, no termination shall occur until thirty days after the defaulting party is notified in writing of the material breach and has failed to cure or give adequate assurances of performance within the thirty day period after notice of material breach. In addition, the Company may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon thirty days’ prior written notice and may terminate any order under the Agreement for any reason upon 120 days’ (before scheduled shipment) prior written notice. Sanmina may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon ninety days’ notice. In the event the Agreement or an order under the Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a breach by Sanmina, the Company is required to pay Sanmina termination charges equal to (i) the contract price for all finished product existing at the time of termination; (ii) Sanmina’s cost (including labor, components and applicable mark-ups per the pricing model) for all work in process; and (iii) the cost of components ordered by Sanmina pursuant to the Agreement.

The Company entered into a manufacturing services agreement with Paramit Corporation ("Paramit") on March 22, 2021 for the production of hand pieces. The agreement states that Paramit will provide the Company with certain manufactured products at prices and quantities to be agreed upon by the parties through an issued and accepted purchase order. Quantities agreed upon by both parties in an issued and accepted purchase order may only be cancelled for units to be received after the initial 60 days. The Company has issued purchase orders under this agreement that commit the Company to purchase $0.7 million in manufactured goods from Paramit.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases space for its corporate office, which provides for an original 63 month term beginning on February 1, 2016, with initial rent payments of $7.6 thousand per month that escalate annually to a maximum of $8.9 thousand per month through the expiration of the agreement. On September 15, 2020, the Company entered into a 12 month extension of its corporate office lease. Total rent expense under this office space lease arrangement for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $24.8 thousand and $23.1 thousand, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $48.4 thousand and $46.7 thousand, respectively.

Letter of Credit

The Company has an irrevocable letter of credit which supports its obligations to pay or perform according to the requirements of an underlying agreement with a certain vendor. Such letter of credit has an initial term of one year, renews automatically for an additional year and can only be modified or canceled with the approval of the beneficiary. As of June 30, 2021, the letter of credit was not used.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to claims in legal proceedings. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As previously disclosed, on May 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with AbbVie and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Merger. In connection with the Merger, the following complaints have been filed against the Company and the members of the Company's board of directors: Musanto v. Soliton, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:21-cv-05088 (S.D.N.Y. June 9, 2021); Whitfield v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05330 (S.D.N.Y. June 16, 2021); O’Guin v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05359 (S.D.N.Y. June 17, 2021); Wiklund v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05386 (S.D.N.Y. June 18, 2021); Boland v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05391 (S.D.N.Y. June 18, 2021); Jabaloy v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No.

1:21-cv-03488 (E.D.N.Y. June 21, 2021); Eder v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05474 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021); Post v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05496 (S.D.N.Y. June 23, 2021); Ciccotelli v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 2:21-cv-02843 (E.D. Pa. June 25, 2021); Walker v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-00928 (D. Del. June 29, 2021); Sheridan v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05656 (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2021); Siljanovski v. Soliton, Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-05935 (S.D.N.Y. July 9, 2021) (collectively, the “Complaints”). Each of the Complaints asserted claims under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, alleging that the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) with respect to the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on July 20, 2021 omitted to disclose certain facts. In addition, the Musanto Complaint alleged that the named directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties by approving the Merger Agreement through a flawed and unfair process and by failing to not make complete and accurate disclosures regarding this process and that the Company aided and abetted the alleged breaches. Each of the Complaints sought to enjoin or rescind the Merger and requests attorneys’ fees and damages in an unspecified amount. The Company also received a demand for books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The demand sought books and records related to the Merger, the independence and disinterestedness of the Company’s board of directors and the Definitive Proxy Statement in order to investigate whether any wrongdoing or mismanagement took place in connection with the Merger. While the Company believed that the Complaints lacked merit and that the disclosures set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement complied fully with applicable law, the Company determined to voluntarily supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement, as set forth in the Company’s Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on July 15, 2021, solely to avoid the expense, burden and risk associated with any litigation matter.

Employment Arrangements

The Company has agreements with certain employees to provide benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination. In addition, the Company has adopted a severance policy for certain key members of executive management to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination without cause. On May 8, 2021, the Board approved an amendment to the severance policy to cover all employees. In total, given the amendments to employee agreements, these benefits would amount to $4.8 million using the rate of compensation in effect at June 30, 2021.

On May 8, 2021, the Board approved the granting of retention bonuses to certain non-executive employees for an amount equal to (a) three months of annual salary, if the Merger has a closing or termination date that is on or prior to November 8, 2021, or (b) six months of annual salary, if the Merger has a closing or termination date that is after November 8, 2021. In total, these benefits would aggregate to $0.4 million if the Merger closes or terminates on or prior to November 8, 2021 and $0.7 million if the Merger closes or terminates after November 8, 2021.

2018 Stock Plan

In June 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") and stockholders adopted the 2018 Stock Plan. The 2018 Stock Plan is designed to enable the Company to offer employees, officers, directors and consultants, as defined, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The types of awards that may be granted under the 2018 Stock Plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards subject to limitations under applicable law.

Total number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan was 5,650,000 shares as of June 30, 2021, including an increase of 1,500,000 shares, which was approved by the Company's shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting in April 2021. As of June 30, 2021, 1,198,725 shares remained available for grant under the 2018 Stock Plan.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is summarized as follows:

Outstanding, June 30, 2021	283,348	$	8.45

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation for the restricted shares previously issued.

As of June 30, 2021, there was $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes stock option activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted certain individuals options to purchase 411,650 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $9.74 per share, a contractual term of ten years, and a vesting period of 25.00% per year over four years. The options had an aggregate grant date fair value of $5.1 million that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model included: (1) discount rate ranging from 0.19% to 1.03% based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations, (2) expected life of 6.25 years based on the simplified method (vesting plus contractual term divided by two), (3) expected volatility ranging from 88.90% to 90.77% based on the historical volatility of comparable companies' stock, (4) no expected dividends and (5) fair value of the Company's stock ranging from $9.74 to $16.47 per share.

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the "HSR Act")

The Merger is subject to the requirements of the HSR Act, as amended, which provides that the Merger may not be completed until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act is terminated or expires. On June 2, 2021, the Company and AbbVie filed the requisite notification and report forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). Following informal discussions with the staff at the FTC, AbbVie and the Company have agreed to voluntarily provide the FTC with additional time in which to review the Merger. On July 2, 2021, AbbVie, as the acquiring party, voluntarily withdrew its pre-merger notification and report form under the HSR Act. In accordance with the regulations under the HSR Act, AbbVie resubmitted its HSR Act filing on July 7, 2021, commencing a new 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act, which expired at 11:59 p.m. ET on August 6, 2021. Withdrawing and refiling pre-merger notifications is a standard procedure in order to provide additional time for antitrust review of certain transactions. The Company and AbbVie continue to work cooperatively with the FTC staff in their review of the proposed transaction and continue to expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or permitted waiver of the conditions to closing.

On August 6, 2021, the Company and AbbVie each received a request for additional information and documentary material (the "Second Request") from the FTC in connection with the FTC's review of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed by the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and AbbVie have certified substantial compliance with the Second Request, unless that period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated sooner by the FTC. The Company and AbbVie continue to work cooperatively with the FTC staff in its review of the proposed transaction, and continue to expect to complete the transaction in the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or permitted waiver of the conditions to closing.

Stockholder Meeting to Adopt the Merger Agreement

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. The December 31, 2020 unaudited condensed balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Segments

Segments

The Company operates in one reportable segment based on management’s view of its business for purposes of evaluating performance and making operating decisions.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include work performed but not yet billed by contract manufacturers, engineers and research organizations, the valuation of equity related instruments, depreciable lives of long-lived assets (including property and equipment and intangible assets), and the valuation allowance related to deferred taxes. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the macroeconomic environment in the United States and globally, including our business, financial condition and results of operations. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact our estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. These estimates relate to certain accounts including, but not limited to, the valuation allowance related to deferred taxes, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. The magnitude of the impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer and provider behavior in response to the pandemic and such governmental actions, and the economic and operating conditions that we may face in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Material Uncertainties

Material Uncertainties

The Company is an early-stage Emerging Growth Company ("EGC") and has not generated any revenues to date. As such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net losses of $7.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and $13.1 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and had net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of $9.9 million and $6.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $83.6 million, working capital of $17.7 million and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $20.8 million. The Company does not expect to experience positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future and anticipates incurring operating losses for the next few years as it supports the commercial launch of its products and continues to invest in research and development for additional indications in the Company's pipeline. The Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand of $20.8 million as of June 30, 2021 and reverse termination fee payments that would be made by AbbVie should the Merger not be consummated by November 8, 2021 will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.

These factors raise uncertainties about the Company's ability to fund operations in future years. If the Company needs additional capital or financing to continue to execute its business plan or a change to its business plan, including obtaining additional regulatory clearance for its products currently under development, and commercializing and generating revenues from products under development, there is no assurance that additional capital or financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to raise capital or obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect this uncertainty.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Unvested restricted stock awards contain dividend rights and are considered participating securities as contemplated for the computations of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share. These securities do not participate in losses and accordingly no such allocation has been made in the periods presented. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2021, potentially dilutive securities included options to purchase 4,266,275 common shares, warrants to purchase 529,141 common shares and unvested restricted stock of 283,348 shares. 

As of June 30, 2020, potentially dilutive securities included options to purchase 3,316,050 common shares, warrants to purchase 1,324,608 common shares and unvested restricted stock of 133,340 shares.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Given the Company's status as an EGC, the Company may adopt this ASU in accordance with the private company guidance which has deferred the effective date to years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The modified retrospective transition approach applies to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company has the option to instead apply the provisions at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Given the Company's status as an EGC, the Company may adopt the amendments of this update for years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.

The Company does not believe that these or other recently issued effective standards, or standards issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications

ReclassificationsIn certain instances, amounts reported in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had an effect on previously reported expenses between general and administrative and research and development.
