In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire year.
NOTE (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zynex, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant management estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are associated with the allowance for billing adjustments and uncollectible accounts receivable, the reserve for obsolete and damaged inventory, stock-based compensation, assumptions related to the valuation of contingent consideration, and valuation of long-lived assets and realizability of deferred tax assets.
Accounts Receivable, Net
The Company’s accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration and are generated when a patient receives one of the Company’s devices, related supplies or complementary products. In conjunction with fulfilling the Company’s obligation to deliver a product, the Company invoices the patient’s third-party payer and/or the patient. Billing adjustments represent the difference between the list price and the reimbursement rates set by third-party payers, including Medicare, commercial payers and amounts billed directly to the patient. Specific amounts, if uncollected over a period of time, may be written-off after several appeals, which in some cases may take longer than twelve months. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from patients with commercial or government health plans and workers compensation claims with a smaller portion related to private pay individuals, attorney, and auto claims. The Company maintains a constraint for third-party payer refund requests, deductions and adjustments. See Note 14 – Concentrations for discussion of significant customer accounts receivable balances.
Inventory, Net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard costs, which approximates actual costs on an average cost basis.
8
The Company monitors inventory for turnover and obsolescence and records losses for excess and obsolete inventory, as appropriate. The Company provides reserves for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based upon assumptions about future demand. If future demand is less favorable than currently projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Long-lived Assets
The Company records intangible assets based on estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. Long-lived assets consist of net property and equipment and intangible assets. The finite-lived intangible assets are patents and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets.
The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicates that their carrying value amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: (i) significant decreases in the market price of the asset; (ii) significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal or regulatory factors; (iii) or, expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value.
Useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets by each asset category are summarized below:
Estimated | ||
Useful Lives | ||
| in years | |
Patents |
|
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired.
Goodwill is not subject to amortization but is subject to impairment testing in the future. The Company utilized the simplified test for goodwill impairment. The amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the carrying value and the asset’s fair value. The valuation methods used in the quantitative fair value assessment was a discounted cash flow method and required management to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding certain industry trends and future profitability of our reporting units. The Company tests more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. These indicators include, among others, declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or the development of a material adverse change in the business climate. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The estimates of fair value and the determination of reporting units requires management judgment.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is derived from sales and leases of the Company’s electrotherapy devices and sales of related supplies and complementary products. Device sales can be in the form of a purchase or a lease. Supplies needed for the device can be set up as a recurring shipment or ordered through the customer support team or online store as needed. The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation has been met and the product has been transferred to the patient, in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive. In general, revenue from sales of devices and supplies is recognized once the product is delivered to the patient, which is when the performance obligation has been met and the product has been transferred to the patient.
Sales of devices and supplies are primarily shipped directly to the patient, with a small amount of revenue generated from sales to distributors. In the healthcare industry there is often a third party involved that will pay on the patients’ behalf for purchased or leased devices and supplies. The terms of the separate arrangement impact certain aspects of the contracts, with patients covered by third party payers, such as contract type, performance obligations and transaction price, but for purposes of revenue recognition the contract with the customer refers to the arrangement between the Company and the patient. The Company does not have any material deferred revenue in the normal course of business as each performance obligation is met upon delivery of goods to the patient. There are no substantial costs incurred through support or warranty obligations.

The following table provides a breakdown of disaggregated net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 related to devices accounted for as purchases subject to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606") and leases subject to ASC 842 (in thousands):

Revenues are estimated using the portfolio approach by third-party payer type based upon historical rates of collection, aging of receivables, trends in historical reimbursement rates by third-party payer types, and current relationships and experience with the third-party payers, which includes estimated constraints for third-party payer refund requests, deductions and adjustments. Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised as additional information becomes available and constraints are released. Specifically, the complexity of third-party payer billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain products from third-party payers or unanticipated requirements to refund payments previously received may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Settlements with third-party payers for retroactive revenue adjustments due to audits, reviews or investigations are considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price using the expected amount method. These adjustments to transaction price are estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payer, correspondence from the payer and historical settlement activity, including an assessment to ensure that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the retroactive adjustment is subsequently resolved. Due to continuing changes in the healthcare industry and third-party payer reimbursement, it is possible the Company’s forecasting model to estimate collections could change, which could have an impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Any differences between estimated and actual collectability are reflected in the period in which received. Historically these differences have been immaterial, and the Company has not had a significant reversal of revenue from prior periods.
The Company monitors the variability and uncertain timing over third-party payer types in the portfolios. If there is a change in the Company’s third-party payer mix over time, it could affect net revenue and related receivables. The Company believes it has a sufficient history of collection experience to estimate the net collectible amounts by third-party payer type. However, changes to constraints related to billing adjustments and refund requests have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception or modification of a contract.
The Company recognizes finance and operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. For the finance leases, the Company uses the implicit rate to determine the present value of future lease payments. For operating leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses incremental borrowing rates to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company includes options to extend or terminate a lease in the lease term when it is reasonably certain to exercise such options. The Company recognizes leases with an initial term of 12 months or less as lease expense over the lease term and those leases are not recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. For additional information on the leases where the Company is the lessee, see Note 12- Leases.
10
A significant portion of device revenue is derived from patients who obtain devices under month-to-month lease arrangements where the Company is the lessor. Revenue related to devices on lease is recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Using the guidance in ASC 842, the Company concluded the transactions should be accounted for as operating leases based on the following criteria below:
● | The lease does not transfer ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term. |
● | The lease does not grant the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. |
● | The lease term is month to month, which does not meet the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset. However, if the commencement date falls at or near the end of the economic life of the underlying asset, this criterion shall not be used for purposes of classifying the lease. |
● | There is no residual value guaranteed and the present value of the sum of the lease payments does not equal or exceed substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset |
● | The underlying asset is expected to have alternative uses to the lessor at the end of the lease term. |
Lease commencement occurs upon delivery of the device to the patient. The Company retains title to the leased device and those devices are classified as property and equipment on the balance sheet. Since the leases are month-to-month and can be returned by the patient at any time, revenue is recognized monthly for the duration of the period in which the patient retains the device.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are costs incurred to obtain new debt financing. Debt issuance costs are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt and are accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation through recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the requisite service period, which in the Company’s case is the same as the vesting period). For awards subject to the achievement of performance metrics, stock-based compensation expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance conditions will be achieved over the respective performance period.
Segment Information
The Company defines operating segments as components of the business enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision-Makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. The Company has identified our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer as our Chief Operating Decision-Makers (“CODM”).

Income Taxes
The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.
Tax benefits are recognized from uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.
The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was enacted into law on August 16, 2022. Included in the IRA was a provision to implement a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income during the most recently completed three year period exceeds $1 billion. This provision is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We are in the process of evaluating the provisions of the IRA, but we do not currently believe the IRA will have a material impact on our reported results, cash flows or financial position when it becomes effective.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods therein for smaller reporting companies. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company adopted this standard during the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The primary instrument that needed to be evaluated was the Company’s trade receivables and the impact was not material.

NOTE (7) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the number of dilutive potential common share equivalents during the period, calculated using the treasury-stock method for outstanding stock options. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential common shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE (13) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Company’s asset and liability classified financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and contingent consideration. The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The Company measures its long-term debt at book value which approximates fair value as the long-term debt bears market rates of interest. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on a Monte Carlo model. The valuation policies are determined by management, and the Company’s Board of Directors is informed of any policy change.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to Zynex for identical assets or liabilities;
19
Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
The Company’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below in all periods presented.
The following table presents Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary
Net revenue was $41.5 million and $34.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $109.4 million and $89.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net revenue increased 19% and 22% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Net income was $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared with $6.1 million during the same period in 2021. Net income was $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared with $8.2 million during the same period in 2021. Cash provided by operating activities was $9.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Working capital was $47.6 million and $59.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
22
Net Revenue
Net revenues are comprised of device and supply sales, constrained by estimated third-party payer reimbursement deductions. The reserve for billing allowance adjustments and allowance for uncollectible accounts are adjusted on an ongoing basis in conjunction with the processing of third-party payer insurance claims and other customer collection history. Product device revenue is primarily comprised of sales and rentals of our electrotherapy products and also includes complementary products such as our cervical traction, lumbar support and hot/cold therapy products.
Supplies revenue is primarily comprised of sales of our consumable supplies to patients using our electrotherapy products, consisting primarily of surface electrodes and batteries. Revenue related to both devices and supplies is reported net, after adjustments for estimated third-party payer reimbursement deductions and estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The deductions are known throughout the healthcare industry as billing adjustments whereby the healthcare insurers unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse for our products as compared to the sales prices charged by us. The deductions from gross revenue also take into account the estimated denials, net of resubmitted billings of claims for products placed with patients which may affect collectability. See our Significant Accounting Policies in Note 2 to the condensed financial statements for a more complete explanation of our revenue recognition policies.
We occasionally receive, and expect to continue to receive, refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in our industry. These requests are sometimes related to a few patients and other times include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. We review and evaluate these requests and determine if any refund is appropriate. We also review claims that have been resubmitted or where we are pursuing additional reimbursement from that insurance provider. We frequently have significant offsets against such refund requests which may result in amounts that are due to us in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests we are generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid.
Net revenue increased $6.7 million or 19% to $41.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $34.8 million for the same period in 2021. Net revenue increased $19.4 million or 22% to $109.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $89.9 million for the same period in 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the growth in net revenue from the same periods in 2021 is primarily related to a 34% and 15% growth in device orders, respectively, which led to an increased customer base and drove higher sales of consumable supplies.
Device Revenue
Device revenue is related to the sale or lease of our electrotherapy and complimentary products. Device revenue increased $2.2 million or 25% to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $9.1 million for the same period in 2021.
Device revenue increased $4.3 million or 19% to $27.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $23.3 million for the same period in 2021.
For both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, the growth in net revenue from the same periods in 2021 is primarily related to growth in sales of devices and an increase in leased device sales.
Supplies Revenue
Supplies revenue is related to the sale of supplies, primarily electrodes and batteries, for our electrotherapy products. Supplies revenue increased $4.5 million or 17% to $30.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, from $25.7 million for the same period in 2021.
Supplies revenue increased $15.1 million or 23% to $81.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from $66.7 million for the same period in 2021.
The increase in supplies revenue is primarily related to an increased customer base from increased device sales in 2022 and 2021.
23
Operating Expenses
Cost of Revenue – Device and Supply
Cost of Revenue – device and supply consist primarily of device and supply costs, facilities, operations labor and overhead, shipping and depreciation. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 23% to $8.4 million from $6.8 million for the same period in 2021. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue – device and supply remained at 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 13% to $22.6 million from $20.0 million for the same period in 2021. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue – device and supply decreased to 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 22% for the same period in 2021.
The decrease as a percentage of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, is due to increased volumes and expanding our supplier portfolio mix, both of which have allowed us to negotiate lower costs.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of employee related costs, including commissions and other direct costs associated with these personnel including travel expenses and marketing campaign and related expenses.
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 32% to $17.2 million from $13.1 million for the same period in 2021. Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 18% to $48.0 million from $40.7 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in sales and marketing expense is primarily due to increased commission and incentive pay related to inflation and rising wages in the U.S.
As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense increased to 41% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 38% for the same period in 2021 primarily due to the aforementioned expenses. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense decreased to 44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 45% for the same period in 2021. The decrease as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the increase in revenue during the period, slightly offset by the additional expenses noted above.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee-related costs, and other direct costs associated with out personnel including facilities and travel expenses and professional fees, depreciation and amortization. General and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 37% to $9.4 million from $6.8 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in general and administrative expense for the three months is primarily due to increased compensation and benefit expense related to headcount growth at ZMI and an increase in research and development expenses for ZMS. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense increased to 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from 20% for the same period in 2021. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the items noted above, partially offset by the increase in revenue during the period.
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 40% to $26.0 million from $18.5 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in general and administrative expense for the nine months is primarily due to increased compensation and benefit expense related to increased salaries at ZMI, increases in rent and facilities expense as we moved our corporate headquarters during May 2021, research and development expenses for ZMS, and amortization of intangible assets acquired from the Kestrel acquisition in December 2021. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense increased to 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 21% for the same period in 2021. The increase as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the aforementioned expenses, partially offset by the increase in revenue during the period.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 23% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Discrete items, primarily related to excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises, of $0.2 million and $(0.2) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, are recognized as a benefit against income tax expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company had an income tax expense of approximately $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically financed operations through cash flows from operations, debt and equity transactions. At September 30, 2022, our principal source of liquidity was $23.5 million in cash and $28.4 million in accounts receivable.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $9.0 million compared with net cash used in operating activities of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in net income and the change in accounts receivable. The increase was partially offset by increased inventory due to our order growth and in-transit inventory.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to leasehold improvements at our new facility related to the acquisition of Kestrel and the purchase of computer equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to leasehold improvements at our new manufacturing and warehouse facilities.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $27.7 million compared with net cash used in financing activities of $2.8 million for the same period in 2021. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to purchases of treasury stock, payment of cash dividends in January 2022, and principal payments on long-term debt. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to purchases of treasury stock.
We believe our cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In making this assessment, we considered the following:
● | Our cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2022 of $23.5 million; |
● | Our working capital balance of $47.6 million; and |
● | Our projected income and cash flows for the next 12 months. |

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In December 2019, a novel Coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was reported and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. While the Company did not incur significant disruptions to its operations during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from COVID-19, it is unable at this time to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its business, financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties. The Company has been and continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.
