SINTX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SINTX Technologies, Inc. (“SINTX”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SINTX Armor, Inc. (“SINTX Armor”) and SINTX TA&T, Inc. (TA&T), which are collectively referred to as “we” or “the Company”. SINTX was incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 10, 1996 (and was previously known as Amedica Corporation). The Company is an OEM advanced ceramics materials company focused on providing solutions in a variety of medical, industrial, and antipathogenic applications. SINTX is a 25-year-old company that has grown over time from focusing on the research and development of silicon nitride for use in human interbody implants to becoming an advanced ceramics company engaged in many different fields, which has enabled the Company to focus on core competencies. The core strength of the Company is the manufacturing, research, and development of advanced ceramics for external partners. The Company presently manufactures silicon nitride powders and components in its Salt Lake City and Maryland facilities. The SINTX Salt Lake City facility is FDA and ANVISA registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified, and ASD9100D certified. The Company’s products are primarily sold in the United States.

 

The Company is focused on building revenue generating opportunities in three business industries - antipathogenic, industrial (including armor), and biomedical – thereby connecting with current and new customers, partners and manufacturers to help realize the goal of leveraging expertise in high-tech ceramics to create new, innovative opportunities across these sectors. We expect our continued investment in research and development to provide additional revenue opportunities.

 

The Company’s initial focus was the development and commercialization of products made from silicon nitride for use in spinal fusion and hip and knee replacement applications. SINTX believes it is the first and only manufacturer to use silicon nitride in medical applications primarily focused on spine fusion therapies. Since then, we have developed other applications for our silicon nitride technology as well as utilized our expertise in the use of ceramic materials in other applications. In July 2021, the Company acquired the equipment and obtained certain proprietary know-how rights with which it intends to develop, manufacture, and commercialize protective armor plates from boron carbide and a composite material of silicon carbide and boron carbide for military, law enforcement and civilian uses. The protective armor plate operations are housed in SINTX Armor. In June 2022, the Company acquired Technology Assessment and Transfer, Inc. (TA&T), a nearly 40-year-old business with a mission to transition advanced materials and process technologies from a laboratory environment to commercial products and services (see Note 2).

 

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its retail spine business to CTL Medical, a Dallas, Texas-based privately held medical device manufacturer. As a result of the sale, CTL Medical became the exclusive owner of the Company’s portfolio of metal and silicon nitride spine products, as well as access to future silicon nitride spine technologies developed by the Company. The Company’s name, Amedica, was also transferred to CTL Medical, which is now CTL Amedica. The Company serves as CTL’s exclusive OEM provider of silicon nitride products. Manufacturing, R&D, and all intellectual property related to the core, non-spine, biomaterial technology including silicon nitride remains with the Company.

 

On October 30, 2018, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to SINTX Technologies, Inc. The Company also changed its trading symbol on the NASDAQ Capital Market to “SINT”.

 

The Company’s new corporate brand reflects both the Company’s core competence in the research, development and manufacturing of silicon nitride ceramics and other ceramics, as well as encouraging prospects for the future, as an OEM supplier of spine implants to CTL Amedica, and multiple opportunities outside of spine.

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all assets and liabilities of the Company.

 

SEC rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As of June 30, 2022, the most significant estimate relates to derivative liabilities relating to common stock warrants.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $5.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and used cash in operating activities of $5.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $255.8 million and $250.4 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. To date, the Company’s operations have been principally financed from proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common stock and, to a lesser extent, cash generated from product sales. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operating activities. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to increase sales, and/or raise additional funds through the capital markets. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability and positive cash flows from operations or obtain additional financing is uncertain.

 

The Company is actively generating additional scientific and clinical data to have it published in leading industry publications. We believe the publication of such data would help sales efforts as the Company approaches new prospects. The Company continues to make changes to the sales strategy, including a focus on revenue growth by expanding the use of silicon nitride in other areas outside of spinal fusion applications. The Company has also acquired equipment and certain proprietary know-how for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and commercializing armored plates made from boron carbide and a composite of boron carbide and silicon carbide for military, law enforcement and other civilian uses. We also expect the acquisition of TA&T will further broaden the Company’s sources of revenue.

The Company has common stock that is publicly traded and has been able to successfully raise capital when needed since the date of the Company’s initial public offering in February 2014. On January 3, 2022, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive trading days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock, and the stock will continue to trade uninterrupted on the The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SINT”. The letter from the Staff further indicated that if the Company did not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by July 5, 2022, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. On July 6, 2022, the Company received notice from the Staff that the Company was eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until January 2, 2023, to regain compliance. Delisting of the Company’s common shares from The Nasdaq Capital Market may adversely impact its ability to raise capital on the public markets. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price for its common stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2021 Distribution Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 million through Maxim, as agent. As of June 30, 2022, there have been no sales of shares of common stock under the 2021 Distribution Agreement.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Distribution Agreement, Maxim will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based on our instructions. Under the 2021 Distribution Agreement, Maxim may sell the Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We have no obligation to sell any shares under the ATM and may at any time suspend offers under the 2021 Distribution Agreement. The Offering will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of shares having an aggregate offering price of $2.0 million, (ii) the termination by either Maxim or the Company upon the provision of fifteen (15) days written notice, or (iii) February 25, 2023. Under the terms of the 2021 Distribution Agreement, Maxim will be entitled to a transaction fee at a fixed rate of 2.0% of the gross sales price of Shares sold under the 2021 Distribution Agreement. The Company will also reimburse Maxim for certain expenses incurred in connection with the 2021 Distribution Agreement and agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Maxim with respect to certain liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of June 30, 2022 there have been no sales of shares of common stock under the 2021 Distribution Agreement.

 

Although the Company is seeking to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing, such funding is not assured and may not be available to the Company on favorable or acceptable terms and may involve significant restrictive covenants. Any additional equity financing is also not assured and, if available to the Company, will most likely be dilutive to its current stockholders. If the Company is not able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on a timely basis, the impact on the Company will be material and adverse.

 

These uncertainties create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic

 

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

Grant Revenue

 

Revenues from grants and awards provided by governmental agencies are recorded based upon the terms of the specific grant agreements, which generally provide that revenue is earned when the allowable costs specified in the applicable grant agreement have been incurred. Cash received from federal grants and awards can be subject to audit by the grantor and, if the examination results in a disallowance of any expenditure, repayment could be required.

 

Grant and award receivables relate to allowable amounts expended or otherwise incurred in connection with the terms of a grant or award and for which reimbursement or draw upon the grant funds have not yet taken place.

 

Correction of an Immaterial Error

 

During the first quarter 2022, the Company identified an error related to the removal of a loan obligation and the recording of other income for forgiveness of debt totaling approximately $0.5 million, which forgiveness was recorded on November 24, 2021. The Company has determined that the Company should not have removed the loan obligation and recorded approximately $0.5 million of other income in the financial statements as of December 31, 2021, and for the year then ended. The error affected the 2021 net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss per share—basic and diluted. The error also affected total liabilities and accumulated deficit (and total stockholders’ equity) as of December 31, 2021. The error did not affect 2021 cash flows from operating activities and total cash flow.

 

In accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives and concluded that the error was immaterial to the March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, financial statements. Consequently, only the December 31, 2021, consolidated balance sheet and the December 31, 2021, balance in the statement of stockholders’ equity contained in these financial statements have been restated. The change resulted a reduction of stockholders’ equity of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

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

 

2. Business Acquisition

 

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Technology Assessment and Transfer, Inc. (TA&T), a corporation organized under the Laws of the State of Maryland. As a result, TA&T is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Purchase Agreement sets forth approximately $760,000, including accrued interest, in loan obligations that the Company agreed to assume in connection with the purchase. Further the Purchase Agreement provides for potential earnout payments to the sellers on the achievement of certain pre-determined gross revenue targets by TA&T for calendar years 2022 and 2023. Earnouts, if any, will be expensed as incurred , as management does not expect the earnouts to be achieved as of the date of acquisition.

 

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation (in thousands):

Revenue  $959 
Net loss  $(5,373)

 

No amounts are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations relating to TA&T for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as the transaction was closed the end of day June 30, 2022.

 

3. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period that are determined to be dilutive. Common stock equivalents are primarily comprised of preferred stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there is no difference in the number of shares and net loss used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The Company had potentially dilutive securities, totaling approximately 2.4 million and 1.8 million as of June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

5. Fair Value Measurements

 

Financial Instruments Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The Company has issued certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which are considered derivative liabilities because they have registration rights which could require a cash settlement and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting period in accordance with accounting guidance. Fair value is based on the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 - quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
     
  Level 3 - unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

The Company classifies assets and liabilities measured at fair value in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. No financial assets were measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. The following tables set forth the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Common Stock Warrants

 

The Company has issued certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock, which are considered derivative liabilities because they have registration rights which could require a cash settlement and are re-measured to fair value at each reporting period in accordance with accounting guidance. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the derivative liability was calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation.

 

The assumptions used in estimating the common stock warrant liability as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

 

   

June 30,

2022

   

December 31,

2021

 
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate     2.51%-2.99 %     0.06%-0.97 %
Weighted-average expected life (in years)     0.57-2.61       0.07-3.10  
Expected dividend yield     - %     - %
Weighted-average expected volatility     74.9%-127.1 %     71.5%-126.5 %

 

Other Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, account and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded value of notes payable approximates the fair value as the interest rate approximates market interest rates.

 

6. Accrued Liabilities

 

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

 

   June 30,
2022
   December 31,
2021

7. Debt

 

2020 PPP Loan

 

On April 28, 2020, the Company received funding under a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan (the “PPP Loan”) from First State Community Bank (the “Lender”). The principal amount of the PPP Loan was $0.4 million. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). Loans made under the PPP may be partially or fully forgiven if the recipient complies with the provisions of the CARES Act, including the use of PPP Loan proceeds for payroll costs, rent, utilities and other expenses, provided that such amounts are incurred during a 24-week period that commenced on April 28, 2020 and at least 60% of any forgiven amount has been used for covered payroll costs as defined by the CARES Act. On January 5, 2021, the Lender provided notice to the Company that the principal amount and accrued interest had been forgiven. The Company removed the PPP Loan obligation and recorded other income for forgiveness of debt totaling $0.4 million. The SBA has until January of 2027 to audit the Company’s compliance with the CARES Act relating to the PPP Loan.

 

2021 PPP Loan

 

On March 15, 2021, the Company received funding under the SBA Second Draw Program under the Paycheck Protection Program (“2021 PPP”) (the “2021 PPP Loan”) from the Lender. The principal amount of the 2021 PPP Loan is $0.5 million. The Company received notice on November 24, 2021, that the principal amount and accrued interest had been forgiven. The Company removed the 2021 PPP Loan obligation and recorded other income for forgiveness of debt totaling approximately $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Since receiving the 2021 PPP Loan and learning that the principal amount of the loan and accrued interest had been forgiven, the Company has determined that due to its status as a publicly traded company with common shares trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market it was not eligible to receive a loan under the SBA Second Draw Program under the Paycheck Protection Program. As a result, the Company repaid the loan on June 14, 2022, together with processing fees and interest, which totaled $0.5 million, resulting in no balance outstanding at June 30, 2022 (see Note 1).

The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from July 20, 2021. The Business Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum. The Business Loan is secured by a general security interest in all of the assets of TA&T. The Business Loan contains other standard provisions that are customary of loans of this type.

2021 Equity Distribution Agreement
