Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring RESTRUCTURING
Due to our financial performance in 2022 and 2021, including net losses of $10.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and total cash used in operating activities of $6.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively, we determined that substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern continues to exist at December 31, 2022.
As a result of the restructuring actions and initiatives described in Note 1, we have tailored our operating expenses to be more in line with our expected sales volumes, however, we continue to incur losses and have a substantial accumulated deficit, and substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern continues to exist at December 31, 2022.
Additionally, global supply chain and logistics constraints are impacting our inventory purchasing strategy, as we seek to manage both shortages of available components and longer lead times in obtaining components while balancing the development and implementation of an inventory reduction plan. Disruptions in global logistics networks are also impacting our lead times and ability to efficiently and cost-effectively transport products from our third-party suppliers to our facility. As a result, we will continue to review and pursue selected external funding sources to ensure adequate financial resources to execute across the timelines required to achieve these objectives including, but not limited to, the following:
obtaining financing from traditional or non-traditional investment capital organizations or individuals;
obtaining funding from the sale of our common stock or other equity or debt instruments; and
obtaining debt financing with lending terms that more closely match our business model and capital needs.
There can be no assurance that we will obtain funding on acceptable terms, in a timely fashion, or at all. Obtaining additional funding contains risks, including:
additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms, particularly in light of the current price of our common stock, and any equity we are able to issue could lead to dilution for current stockholders and have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock;
loans or other debt instruments may have terms or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants, conversion features, refinancing demands, and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or our Board of Directors; and
the current environment in the capital markets and volatile interest rates, combined with our capital constraints, may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing.
Along with the new additions to our Board of Directors, we hired a permanent Chief Executive Officer in September 2022, following a period of interim leadership by our Lead Independent Director after the departure of our previous Chief Executive Officer in February 2022 and Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer in May 2022.
Considering both quantitative and qualitative information, we continue to believe that the combination of our plans to ensure adequate external funding, timely re-organizational actions, current financial position, liquid resources, obligations due or anticipated within the next year, development and implementation of an excess inventory reduction plan, plans and initiatives in our research and development, product development and sales and marketing, and development of potential channel partnerships, if adequately executed, could provide us with an ability to finance our operations through the next twelve months and may mitigate the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
On December 21, 2021, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, as a result of the resignation of a director, as previously disclosed, from the Board of Directors and the Audit and Finance Committee, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, which requires that our Audit and Finance Committee be comprised of at least three directors, all of whom are independent pursuant to the rules of Nasdaq and applicable law. The notification letter had no immediate effect on our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The letter further provided that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), we were entitled to a cure period to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. On February 24, 2022, we announced the appointment of two additional independent directors, one of which, was appointed to fill the vacancy on the Audit and Finance Committee, bringing us into compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605.
On August 23, 2022, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that we are not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), because the closing bid price for our common stock was below the minimum $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until February 20, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. During the initial compliance period, our common stock continued to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but did not satisfy the Bid Price Rule. On February 21, 2023, we received written notification (the “Notification”) from the Staff stating that we had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule and
were ineligible to obtain a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance because we did not meet the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum $5,000,000 Stockholders’ Equity initial listing requirement as of September 30, 2022. Pursuant to the Notification, our common stock is subject to delisting from Nasdaq pending our opportunity to request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company intends to diligently pursue an appeal of the Notification before the Panel and regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Under Nasdaq rules, the delisting of our common stock will be stayed during the pendency of the appeal and during such time, our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq. If we had not requested a hearing before the Panel by February 28, 2023, our common stock would have been scheduled for delisting at the opening of business on March 2, 2023. On February 24, 2023, we submitted our request for an appeal before the Panel. There can be no assurance that such appeal will be successful or that we will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements. If our appeal is denied or if we fail to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards during any period granted by the Panel, our common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
On November 16, 2022, we received a letter from the Staff notifying us that we were no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million if they do not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule”). Our Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended September 30, 2022 filed on November 10, 2022 reflected that our stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2022 was $1.5 million. Based on our timely submission of our plan to regain compliance, Nasdaq granted us an extension through May 15, 2023 to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Rule.
