CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements contain information about our expectations, beliefs, plans or intentions regarding our product development and commercialization efforts, research and development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies and prospects, and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and that may individually or materially impact the matters discussed herein for a variety of reasons that are outside the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, the completion of the Company’s Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution, the use of the proceeds received from the sale of the Viactiv business, the Company’s decision to continue to fund or wind-down its operations subsequent to the sale of the Viactiv business, the sale or other disposition of the Company’s ocular healthcare business, the exploration, timing and feasibility of alternatives to the Company’s Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution, supply chain disruptions, a potential recession and the condition of the economy in general, the Company’s ability to successfully market its remaining products and inventory, and the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. These statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “may,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “should,” “intends,” “estimates,” “hopes” and other words of similar meaning.

 

Actual results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements, including those matters discussed below. Readers are urged to read the risk factors set forth in our recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in other documents we file with the SEC from time to time.

 

Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations may arise from time to time. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only reflect the views of our management as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results or expectations, except as required by law. We qualify all the information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include market data and certain industry data and forecasts, which we may obtain from internal company surveys, market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications, articles and surveys. Industry surveys, publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. While we believe that such studies and publications are reliable, we have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Business Operations

 

Business

 

Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) offers science-based, clinically supported products designed for consumer ocular health.

 

Special Meeting of Stockholders

 

On May 23, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders considered the following proposals: (i) the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests (the “Transaction”) of Activ Nutritional, LLC (“Activ”), a Delaware limited liability company which owned the Viactiv® brand and business and was the wholly-owned subsidiary of Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. (“Viactiv”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an equity purchase agreement with Doctor’s Best Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Doctor’s Best”), dated January 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”); and (ii) the grant of discretionary authority to the Board of Directors of the Company to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date, to allow for the solicitation of additional proxies only in the event that there were insufficient shares present virtually or represented by proxy voting in favor of the Transaction or the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution.

 

The Company’s stockholders approved the sale of its Viactiv® brand and business at the Special Meeting. Following this approval, the Company then adjourned the Special Meeting to May 31, 2024 in order to give the Company’s management additional time to solicit proxies from its stockholders to vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Company’s Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. On May 31, 2024, the Company convened and held its previously-adjourned Special Meeting of the stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal for the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company (the “Dissolution”) pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution (the “Plan of Dissolution”), which authorizes the Company to liquidate and dissolve the Company in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution, but subject to the Company’s ability to abandon or delay the Plan of Dissolution in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

Sale of Activ Nutritional, LLC

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company completed its sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ to Doctor’s Best. The Transaction closed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Doctor’s Best acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ from Viactiv for aggregate cash consideration to the Company of $17,200,000. Doctor’s Best is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kingdomway USA Corp., the U.S. subsidiary holding company of Xiamen Kingdomway Group Company, which is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (see Note 3).

 

Nasdaq Listing and Reverse Stock Split

 

The Company’s common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “GHSI”. On January 6, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse split of its outstanding shares of common stock in order to remain in compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement of Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement of Nasdaq over time, or that it will be successful in maintaining compliance with any of the other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

 

Liquidity

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Viactiv® brand and business for gross cash proceeds of $17,200,000 and net cash proceeds of $16,250,000.

 

8

 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded net income of $5,577,587, which included income from discontinued operations of $12,304,875 (consisting of a net gain on sale of discontinued operations of $11,726,743 and income from discontinued operations of $578,132) and used cash in operating activities of $(1,834,766).

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $14,822,826 of cash, and working capital (including cash) of $14,374,922. Although the Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flows, management has concluded that it is probable that the Company will be able to fund its current operating plan and meet all of its obligations due within one year from the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. This determination is subject to a decision by the Board of Directors as to whether or not to declare, and the timing of, one or more cash distributions to the Company’s stockholders in the near-term. The Company expects to make this determination during the quarter ending September 30, 2024.

 

Accordingly, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern or it adopts the liquidation basis of accounting.

 

In addition, this determination is based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, and which involve unknown risks and uncertainties that may individually or materially impact the matters discussed herein for a variety of reasons that are outside the control of the Company.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ (see Note 3). The operations of Activ are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. and NutriGuard Formulations, Inc. Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. was dissolved effective July 22, 2024. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Segment Information

 

As a result of the disposition of the Viactiv® brand and business effective May 31, 2024 (see Note 3), at June 30, 3024, the Company operates and reports in one segment, which consists of the development and distribution of clinically supported dietary supplements for ocular health. The Company’s operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

9

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the customer. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer.

 

All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.

 

Historically the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays from customers.

 

In certain circumstances, returns of products are allowed. Due to the insignificant amount of historical returns, the stand-alone nature of our products, and our assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for our sales contracts the Company does not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. The Company assesses its contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Third-Party Outsourcing

 

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of products using a third-party fulfillment center to provide order processing and sales fulfillment, customer invoicing and collections, and product warehousing. Substantially all of the Company’s products are shipped through the third-party fulfillment center to the customer. Shipping charges to customers are included in revenues. In addition, the Company uses the third-party fulfillment center to provide sales and inventory management, and certain marketing and promotional services.

 

The Company outsources the production of substantially all of its products with a third party that manufactures and packages the finished products under a product supply agreement.

 

Costs incurred related to third-party outsourcing, which includes manufacturing, order processing and fulfillment, and warehousing, were $26,499 and $61,809 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $64,475 and $87,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold is comprised of the costs for third-party contract manufacturing, packaging, manufacturing fees, and in-bound freight charges.

 

Shipping Costs

 

Shipping costs associated with product distribution after manufacture are included as part of cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling expense totaled $7,572 and $8,972 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17,616 and $22,175 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

10

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense. Advertising costs were $0 and $400 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0 and $1,657 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

Vendor costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company utilized one vendor for its corporate legal advice. Costs associated with this vendor accounted for approximately 48% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and approximately 31% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023. One other vendor the Company used for insurance purposes accounted for approximately 42% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023. No other vendors accounted for more than 10% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Accounts payable. As of June 30, 2024, three vendors accounted for 75% of total accounts payable. One vendor accounted for 35%, a second vendor accounted for 27% and a third vendor accounted for 13% of the accounts payable at June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, three vendors accounted for 81% of the total accounts payable. One vendor accounted for 55%, a second vendor accounted for 14% and a third vendor accounted for 12% of the accounts payable at December 31, 2023. No other vendor accounted for more than 10% of accounts payable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds deposited with BMO Harris Bank (“BMO”), a major, established, high quality financial institution in short-term (original maturity of generally 60 days or less) liquid investments in money market deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy and are valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the money market fund. The Company has an overnight investment feature established with BMO whereby the Company’s cash is swept into a Money Market Mutual Fund managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. This fund invests solely in high quality U.S. government issued securities. As of June 30, 2024, $14,822,826 included in cash and cash equivalents was held in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Institutional Fund, a fund that is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

 

The Company routinely has cash balances in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC and SIPC insurance limits of $250,000 and $500,000, respectively. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the financial institutions that hold such cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this policy.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based awards for stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees in exchange for services is measured at the grant date, using a fair value-based method, such as a Black-Scholes option valuation model, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model such as risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured at the grant date based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is accounted for in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

 

Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares of unvested restricted common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Shares of vested restricted stock are included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the date they are vested. Dilutive potential common shares include shares from unexercised warrants and options. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be antidilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities to be reported at fair value in financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

12

 

 

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end.

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s outstanding warrants (except for placement agent warrants) were treated as derivative liabilities and changes in the fair value were recognized in the statement of operations (see Note 5).

 

The Company believes the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments and are excluded from the fair value tables above.

3. Discontinued Operations

 

Activ owns the Viactiv® brand and business and is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On May 31, 2024 the Company completed the sale of Activ to Doctor’s Best Inc. (see Note 1). The transaction closed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Doctor’s Best acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ for aggregate cash consideration paid to the Company at closing of $17,200,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”). The carrying amount of the net assets sold (consisting of current assets minus current liabilities) totaled $3,732,615, and the aggregate costs of the transaction incurred during 2024 totaled $1,740,642, resulting in a net gain of $11,726,743 from the sale of Activ for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The Company received net proceeds at closing of $16,250,000, consisting of the Base Purchase Price less transaction costs paid at closing of $725,000, and $225,000 that was withheld and deposited in a third-party escrow account that was established at closing. At June 30, 2024, the $225,000 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount ultimately receivable by the Company from the escrow account is subject to final post-closing adjustments, if any, as determined by the Company and Doctor’s Best pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

6. Warrant Derivative Liability

 

In February 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Included in the offering were 740,000 Series A Warrants and 740,000 Series B Warrants.

 

The Series A and Series B warrants contained certain antidilution provisions, including a down round provision and certain cash redemption rights. In addition, the warrants contained a provision which required that the exercise price of such warrants be adjusted to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately following effectiveness of a reverse stock split if such calculation resulted in an exercise price below the then-current exercise price. The Company determined that this provision represented a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC 815-40, and thus the warrants were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting. Accordingly, these warrants were classified as a derivative liability.

 

During 2023, Series B Warrants were exercised into 7,649 shares of common stock and the remainder of the 732,351 Series B Warrants expired on August 24, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 740,000 Series A Warrants, which expire in February 2027. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 49,900 Series A Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, which resulted in the issuance of 8,918 shares of common stock. The closing of the sale of Activ represented a “Fundamental Transaction” pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Series A Warrants. As a result, within 30 days after the closing of the sale of Activ, each Series A Warrant holder had the option to elect to have its Series A Warrants redeemed, in whole or in part, for a cash payment based on a calculation of the defined Black-Scholes value of each warrant as prescribed in the Series A Warrant agreement. Accordingly, during June and July 2024, the Company paid a total of $5,632,429 and $7,325, respectively, to warrant holders who exercised their redemption rights, in the settlement and redemption of 621,300 Series A warrants. As the Series A Warrants were recorded as a derivative liability upon issuance in 2022, the change in the Black-Scholes value upon final settlement was recorded as part of the change in fair value of warrant derivative liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2024, there were 68,800 Series A Warrants that were not redeemed and remained outstanding.

 

In addition, 37,000 warrants were issued in February 2022 to the placement agent for the February 2022 securities offering. The placement agent warrants had the same “Fundamental Transaction” provisions as described above. However, the placement agent warrants did not contain a provision that required that the exercise price of such warrants be adjusted following effectiveness of a reverse stock split. Accordingly, the placement agent warrants, contrary to the accounting for the Series A Warrants, were not recorded as a derivative liability upon issuance. The Company paid the Black-Scholes value of the placement agent warrants of $319,625 to the placement agent, which was recorded as a cost related to the settlement of the warrants in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The fair value of the warrant liability at June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023 was $631,254 and $2,453,100, respectively. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial lattice model are assumptions related to expected probability of event occurrence, including stock splits, stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock warrants based on the Company’s historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant or valuation date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the Company’s historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The derivative liabilities were valued using a binomial lattice model with the following assumptions:

7. Redeemable Preferred Stock (Classified as Temporary Equity, redeemed in full in February 2023)

 

On November 29, 2022, the Company issued and sold, in a private placement, 495,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), and 5,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock,” and together with the Series C Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Preferred Stock was redeemed in full for $5,250,000 cash, consisting of $4,750,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Stock, plus an additional $500,000 to fund a 105% redemption price. There were no conversions of the Preferred Stock into common stock.

 

8. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, wherein grants are measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting periods.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no grants of options to purchase shares of common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,344 shares of common stock to the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the compensation plan for such directors with grant date fair values of $8,454, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) a volatility rate of 146%, (ii) a discount rate of 3.81% (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) an expected life of 3 years. The options have an exercise price of $7.78 per share, respectively. The options vest on a quarterly basis over two years from the grant date, with the first tranche vesting on September 30, 2023.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) with a grant date fair value of $65,000 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) a volatility rate of 146%, (ii) a discount rate of 3.80%, (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) an expected life of 6 years. The options vest on a quarterly basis thereafter over two years.

 

The Company’s former CEO resigned effective June 9, 2023. All options issued to the former CEO that were not vested at the time of resignation were forfeited. Compensation expense previously recorded related to the unvested options was reversed, resulting in a reduction of stock compensation expense of $(92,412) during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company computes stock price volatility over expected terms based on its historical common stock trading prices. The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future. The expected life of the stock options granted is estimated using the “simplified” method, whereby the expected term equals the average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the stock option.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized aggregate share-based compensation expense (income) of $22,352 and $(48,273), respectively, related to the fair value of vested options.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an aggregate of 5,672 remaining unvested options outstanding, with a remaining fair value of approximately $37,000 to be amortized over an average of 1 year. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 28, 2024, the last trading day of the quarter, of $10.04 per share, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2024 was $46,952.

 

Restricted Common Stock

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no grants of restricted common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $4,340 and $10,716, respectively, related to vested restricted shares.

 

The following table summarizes restricted common stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

9. Income Taxes

 

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any provision for income taxes, as the Company incurred losses for income tax reporting during such periods.

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company completed its sale of all the outstanding equity interests of Activ Nutritional, LLC (“Activ”) for $17,200,000, resulting in a gain for financial reporting purposes of $12,742,385 (see Note 3). For federal and state income tax reporting purposes, the Company will record a loss on the sale of Activ. Most of the loss for income tax purposes is allocable to the sale of intangibles assets, which were previously recorded as goodwill and intangible assets for financial reporting purposes and written off entirely in 2021 and 2022. For income tax reporting purposes, intangibles were not written off and were required to be amortized over a 15-year period. Accordingly, the tax basis for the intangibles exceeded the sale price, resulting in a loss for income tax purposes. For income tax reporting purposes, the loss on sale of the intangibles is a capital loss. The Company has no capital gains during the current year or the three years preceding, as a result of which the net capital loss will carry forward until 2029.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets (including the capital losses described above) as the Company currently believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recent Developments

 

Special Meeting of Stockholders

 

On May 23, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders considered the following proposals: (i) the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests (the “Transaction”) of Activ Nutritional, LLC (“Activ”), a Delaware limited liability company which owned the Viactiv® brand and business and was the wholly-owned subsidiary of Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. (“Viactiv”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an equity purchase agreement with Doctor’s Best Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Doctor’s Best”), dated January 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”); and (ii) the grant of discretionary authority to the Board of Directors of the Company to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date, to allow for the solicitation of additional proxies only in the event that there were insufficient shares present virtually or represented by proxy voting in favor of the Transaction or the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution.

 

The Company’s stockholders approved the sale of its Viactiv® brand and business at the Special Meeting. Following this approval, the Company then adjourned the Special Meeting to May 31, 2024 in order to give the Company’s management additional time to solicit proxies from its stockholders to vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Company’s Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. On May 31, 2024, the Company convened and held its previously-adjourned Special Meeting of the stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal for the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company (the “Dissolution”) pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution (the “Plan of Dissolution”), which authorizes the Company to liquidate and dissolve the Company in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution, but subject to the Company’s ability to abandon or delay the Plan of Dissolution in accordance with the terms thereof.

Cybersecurity

 

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our risk management and strategy and cybersecurity is a critical element of this strategy. Management is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Company’s risk management strategy and its cybersecurity policies, processes, and practices. Management does not believe that there are currently any known risks from cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company or its operations, business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. The Company’s IT policies, including cybersecurity, have been developed in conjunction with independent third parties that specialize in cybersecurity, cloud, and digital infrastructure. Likewise, the Company’s cyberattack response plan has been developed in conjunction with independent third parties that specialize in cybersecurity, cloud, and digital infrastructure.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity. There were no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 that impacted the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was for the purchase of property and equipment.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $5,952,054 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and related to the redemption of the Series A Warrants and the placement agent warrants as a result of the sale of Activ Nutritional, LLC effective May 31, 2024. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5,250,000 and reflected the repayment in full of the Company’s Preferred Stock issued in November 2022.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As we are a “smaller reporting company”, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent six months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding or claim against the Company that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. The Company is periodically the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions and claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings or claims can have a material adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report, other than as described herein and below. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. 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. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

 

Since the Transaction was approved and consummated, Nasdaq may delist our shares from trading on its exchange, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to make transactions in our shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

We are required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in order to maintain the listing of our shares on Nasdaq. Such continued listing requirements for our shares include, among other things, having at least 300 shareholders, 500,000 publicly held shares and a market value of our listed publicly held shares of $1,000,000. In addition, a Nasdaq-listed company must meet at least one of the following standards: (i) stockholders equity of at least $2,500,000; (ii) market value of listed shares of at least $35,000,000; or (iii) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the latest fiscal year or in two of the last three fiscal years. We cannot assure you that our shares will be able to meet any of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If our shares do not meet the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our shares from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

If our shares do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our shares from trading on its exchange. If Nasdaq delists any of our shares from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such shares on another approved national securities exchange, we expect that such shares could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: (i) a limited availability of market quotations for our shares, (ii) reduced liquidity for our shares, (iii) a determination that our shares are “penny stocks” which will require brokers trading in our shares to adhere to more stringent rules, including being subject to the depository requirements of Rule 419 of the Securities Act, and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our shares, (iv) a decreased ability to issue additional shares or obtain additional financing in the future, (v) a less attractive acquisition vehicle to a target business in connection with an initial business combination, (vi) our ability to complete an initial business combination with a target company contemplating a Nasdaq listing, and (vii) a limited amount of news and analyst coverage.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as covered securities. Our shares qualify as covered securities under such statute. If we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our shares would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our shares.

 

If we are delisted from Nasdaq, but obtain a substitute listing for our common stock, it will likely be on a market with less liquidity, and therefore potentially experience more price volatility than our common stock experienced on Nasdaq. Stockholders may not be able to sell their shares of common stock on any such substitute market in the quantities, at the times, or at the prices that could potentially be available on a more liquid trading market. As a result of these factors, if our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the value and liquidity of our common stock and warrants would likely be significantly adversely affected. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for our operations and/or result in a loss of confidence by investors, employees and/or business partners.

 

28

 

 

The Company will not have any material business or operations following the consummation of the Transaction.

 

The Viactiv® brand and business accounted for 97.2% and 96.3% of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result, the sale of Activ to Doctor’s Best constituted a sale of substantially all of our assets and revenue-generating operations, and following the consummation of the Transaction, the remaining ocular products business is not material.

 

Risk Factors Related to the Plan of Dissolution

 

We cannot determine at this time the exact amount or timing of any distributions to stockholders because there are many factors, some of which are outside of our control, which could affect our ability to make such distributions in the future.

 

At the closing of the Transaction, we received aggregate cash consideration of $16,250,000. At the closing, an additional $225,000 was deposited into a third-party escrow account pending the calculation of the Company’s working capital at closing in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If the adjustment amount, as finally determined, is less than the estimated adjustment amount plus $100,000, Doctor’s Best will receive from the escrow account the amount of such shortfall. If the adjustment amount, as finally determined, equals or exceeds the estimated adjustment amount plus $100,000, Doctor’s Best will pay us any excess in an amount not to exceed $225,000.

 

Since the Plan of Dissolution was approved by stockholders, and is subject to the possibility that the Board may abandon or delay the effectiveness of the Plan of Dissolution in favor of a separate subsequent transaction involving the Company that the Board determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, we plan to distribute, in an initial distribution (with potential subsequent distributions thereafter), a portion of the net proceeds from the Transaction, which may include a portion of the Company’s other cash on its balance sheet, subject to the Company’s obligations to warrant holders and a contingency reserve for remaining costs and liabilities, after the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State. The amount and timing of the distributions to stockholders will be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan of Dissolution. Subsequent distributions would be made in such amounts and at such times as determined by the Board in its sole discretion in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution. However, there can be no assurance as to the timing and amount of distributions to stockholders, even if all of our remaining assets are sold because there are many factors, some of which are outside of our control, that could affect our ability to make such distributions in the future. Further, the Board may, in its sole discretion, take into account the timing of liquidating distributions or potential transactions when determining whether to make a distribution to stockholders following the consummation of the Transaction, if approved. If the Board, in its sole discretion, determines to promptly proceed with liquidating the Company’s assets pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, elect not to proceed with initial distributions prior to such liquidating distributions due to the administrative costs and burdens involved. However, if the Board expects to engage in a potential transaction, rather than proceeding with the dissolution of the Company, the Board may elect, in its sole discretion, to make interim distributions to the Company’s stockholders.

 

In addition, we will continue to incur claims, liabilities and expenses from operations (including various operating costs, salaries, directors and officers insurance, payroll and local taxes, legal and accounting fees, and miscellaneous office and operating expenses) as we seek to effect the Dissolution. Our estimates regarding our expense levels may be inaccurate. Any unexpected claims, liabilities or expenses that arise prior to the liquidation and final dissolution of the Company or any claims, liabilities or expenses that exceed our estimates could leave us with less cash than is necessary to pay liabilities and expenses and would likely reduce the amount of cash available for ultimate distribution to our stockholders.

 

For the foregoing reasons, there can be no assurance as to the timing and amount of distributions to stockholders, even if all of our remaining asset are sold or otherwise disposed of; provided that the Company must complete the distribution of all of its properties and assets to its stockholders as provided in the Plan of Distribution as soon as practicable following the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State and in any event on or before the tenth anniversary of such filing.

 

29

 

 

Our Board may abandon or delay implementation of the Plan of Dissolution even though it was approved by our stockholders.

 

Our stockholders approved our Plan of Dissolution for the Dissolution of the Company. Pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution, the Board has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to abandon or delay implementation of the Plan of Dissolution if as a result of the Plan of Dissolution (i) we would be insolvent or unable to pay our debts as they come due, (ii) we would have remaining liabilities in excess of the Company’s remaining assets, (iii) we would otherwise be unable to satisfy in full all valid claims against the Company (iv) the Board determined to invest the cash received from the Transaction in another operating business, or (v) the Board abandons or delays the effectiveness of the Plan of Dissolution in favor of a separate subsequent transaction involving the Company that the Board determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Board may also conclude either that its fiduciary obligations require it to pursue business opportunities that present themselves or that abandoning the Plan of Dissolution is otherwise in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. If the Board elects to pursue any alternative to the Plan of Dissolution, the value of our common stock may decline.

 

Our stock transfer books will close on the date we file the Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, after which it will not be possible for stockholders to trade our stock.

 

We will close our stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of our common stock at the close of business on the date we file the Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which is referred to herein as the final record date. Thereafter, certificates representing shares of our common stock will not be assignable or transferable on our books. The proportionate interests of all of our stockholders will be fixed on the basis of their respective stock holdings at the close of business on the final record date, and, after the final record date, any distributions made by us shall be made solely to the stockholders of record at the close of business on the final record date.

 

We will continue to incur claims, liabilities and expenses and a delay in the consummation of the Transaction and/or Dissolution will reduce the amount available for distribution to stockholders.

 

Claims, liabilities and expenses from operations, such as operating costs, salaries, insurance, payroll and local taxes, legal, accounting and consulting fees and miscellaneous expenses, will continue to be incurred as we wind down. These expenses will reduce the amount of assets available for ultimate distribution to stockholders.

 

If the Company is not dissolved, the SEC could classify the Company as a shell company, which could result in certain negative consequences, including a delisting of our common stock on Nasdaq.

 

If the Company is not dissolved, then the SEC could take the position that the Company is a shell company. Recently, the SEC has exercised heightened scrutiny in classifying companies as “shell companies” under Rule 405 of the Securities Act. This classification by the SEC would prohibit the Company from using Form S-3 “shelf registration” to register securities for public offerings until 12 months after it has ceased to be a shell company. Further, the Company would no longer be able to use Rule 144 for 12 months after it ceases to be a shell company, among other rules and regulations of which we would not be able to take advantage. Shell company status could dissuade certain parties from looking to acquire the Company in a change in control transaction in an effort to avoid SEC scrutiny and potentially onerous reporting requirements. In addition to the scrutiny and obligations the Company would have pursuant to federal securities laws and regulations as a result of such a classification by the SEC, we could be delisted from Nasdaq.

 

We are required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in order to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. Such continued listing requirements for our securities include, among other things, having at least 300 shareholders, 500,000 publicly held shares and a market value of our listed publicly held securities of $1,000,000. We cannot assure you that our shares will be able to meet any of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If our securities do not meet the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including as a result of the Company’s potential shell company status following the consummation of the Transaction, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit the ability of investors to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

If our securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange. If Nasdaq delists any of our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another approved national securities exchange, we expect that such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: (i) a limited availability of market quotations for our securities, (ii) reduced liquidity for our securities, (iii) a determination that our shares are “penny stocks” which will require brokers trading in our shares to adhere to more stringent rules, including being subject to the depository requirements of Rule 419 of the Securities Act, and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities, (iv) a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future, (v) a less attractive acquisition vehicle to a target business in connection with an initial business combination, (vi) our ability to complete an initial business combination with a target company contemplating a Nasdaq listing, including the Business Combination and (vii) a limited amount of news and analyst coverage.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as covered securities. Our shares qualify as covered securities under such statute. If we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities under each states respective “blue sky” securities laws.

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Common Stock

 

We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on Nasdaq or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.

 

Although our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our common stock does not develop or is sustained, our common stock may remain thinly traded.

 

The Listing Rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our shareholders:

 

  the liquidity of our common stock;
     
  the market price of our common stock;
     
  our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;
     
  the number of investors that will consider investing in our common stock;
     
  the number of market makers in our common stock;
     
  the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and
     
  the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock.

Business

 

Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) offers science-based, clinically supported products designed for consumer ocular health.

 

Special Meeting of Stockholders

 

On May 23, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders considered the following proposals: (i) the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests (the “Transaction”) of Activ Nutritional, LLC (“Activ”), a Delaware limited liability company which owned the Viactiv® brand and business and was the wholly-owned subsidiary of Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. (“Viactiv”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an equity purchase agreement with Doctor’s Best Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Doctor’s Best”), dated January 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”); and (ii) the grant of discretionary authority to the Board of Directors of the Company to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date, to allow for the solicitation of additional proxies only in the event that there were insufficient shares present virtually or represented by proxy voting in favor of the Transaction or the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution.

 

The Company’s stockholders approved the sale of its Viactiv® brand and business at the Special Meeting. Following this approval, the Company then adjourned the Special Meeting to May 31, 2024 in order to give the Company’s management additional time to solicit proxies from its stockholders to vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Company’s Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. On May 31, 2024, the Company convened and held its previously-adjourned Special Meeting of the stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal for the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company (the “Dissolution”) pursuant to a Plan of Dissolution (the “Plan of Dissolution”), which authorizes the Company to liquidate and dissolve the Company in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution, but subject to the Company’s ability to abandon or delay the Plan of Dissolution in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

Sale of Activ Nutritional, LLC

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company completed its sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ to Doctor’s Best. The Transaction closed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Doctor’s Best acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ from Viactiv for aggregate cash consideration to the Company of $17,200,000. Doctor’s Best is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kingdomway USA Corp., the U.S. subsidiary holding company of Xiamen Kingdomway Group Company, which is listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (see Note 3).

 

Nasdaq Listing and Reverse Stock Split

 

The Company’s common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “GHSI”. On January 6, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-50 reverse split of its outstanding shares of common stock in order to remain in compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement of Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement of Nasdaq over time, or that it will be successful in maintaining compliance with any of the other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

 

Liquidity

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Viactiv® brand and business for gross cash proceeds of $17,200,000 and net cash proceeds of $16,250,000.

 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded net income of $5,577,587, which included income from discontinued operations of $12,304,875 (consisting of a net gain on sale of discontinued operations of $11,726,743 and income from discontinued operations of $578,132) and used cash in operating activities of $(1,834,766).

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $14,822,826 of cash, and working capital (including cash) of $14,374,922. Although the Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flows, management has concluded that it is probable that the Company will be able to fund its current operating plan and meet all of its obligations due within one year from the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. This determination is subject to a decision by the Board of Directors as to whether or not to declare, and the timing of, one or more cash distributions to the Company’s stockholders in the near-term. The Company expects to make this determination during the quarter ending September 30, 2024.

 

Accordingly, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements also do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern or it adopts the liquidation basis of accounting.

 

In addition, this determination is based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, and which involve unknown risks and uncertainties that may individually or materially impact the matters discussed herein for a variety of reasons that are outside the control of the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ (see Note 3). The operations of Activ are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. and NutriGuard Formulations, Inc. Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. was dissolved effective July 22, 2024. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Segment Information

 

As a result of the disposition of the Viactiv® brand and business effective May 31, 2024 (see Note 3), at June 30, 3024, the Company operates and reports in one segment, which consists of the development and distribution of clinically supported dietary supplements for ocular health. The Company’s operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the customer. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer.

 

All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.

 

Historically the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays from customers.

 

In certain circumstances, returns of products are allowed. Due to the insignificant amount of historical returns, the stand-alone nature of our products, and our assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for our sales contracts the Company does not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. The Company assesses its contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Third-Party Outsourcing

 

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of products using a third-party fulfillment center to provide order processing and sales fulfillment, customer invoicing and collections, and product warehousing. Substantially all of the Company’s products are shipped through the third-party fulfillment center to the customer. Shipping charges to customers are included in revenues. In addition, the Company uses the third-party fulfillment center to provide sales and inventory management, and certain marketing and promotional services.

 

The Company outsources the production of substantially all of its products with a third party that manufactures and packages the finished products under a product supply agreement.

 

Costs incurred related to third-party outsourcing, which includes manufacturing, order processing and fulfillment, and warehousing, were $26,499 and $61,809 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $64,475 and $87,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold is comprised of the costs for third-party contract manufacturing, packaging, manufacturing fees, and in-bound freight charges.

 

Shipping Costs

 

Shipping costs associated with product distribution after manufacture are included as part of cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling expense totaled $7,572 and $8,972 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17,616 and $22,175 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense. Advertising costs were $0 and $400 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0 and $1,657 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

Vendor costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company utilized one vendor for its corporate legal advice. Costs associated with this vendor accounted for approximately 48% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and approximately 31% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023. One other vendor the Company used for insurance purposes accounted for approximately 42% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023. No other vendors accounted for more than 10% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Accounts payable. As of June 30, 2024, three vendors accounted for 75% of total accounts payable. One vendor accounted for 35%, a second vendor accounted for 27% and a third vendor accounted for 13% of the accounts payable at June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, three vendors accounted for 81% of the total accounts payable. One vendor accounted for 55%, a second vendor accounted for 14% and a third vendor accounted for 12% of the accounts payable at December 31, 2023. No other vendor accounted for more than 10% of accounts payable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds deposited with BMO Harris Bank (“BMO”), a major, established, high quality financial institution in short-term (original maturity of generally 60 days or less) liquid investments in money market deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy and are valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the money market fund. The Company has an overnight investment feature established with BMO whereby the Company’s cash is swept into a Money Market Mutual Fund managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. This fund invests solely in high quality U.S. government issued securities. As of June 30, 2024, $14,822,826 included in cash and cash equivalents was held in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Institutional Fund, a fund that is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

 

The Company routinely has cash balances in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC and SIPC insurance limits of $250,000 and $500,000, respectively. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the financial institutions that hold such cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this policy.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based awards for stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees in exchange for services is measured at the grant date, using a fair value-based method, such as a Black-Scholes option valuation model, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model such as risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured at the grant date based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is accounted for in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

 

Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares of unvested restricted common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Shares of vested restricted stock are included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the date they are vested. Dilutive potential common shares include shares from unexercised warrants and options. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be antidilutive.

 

 

The following tables reconcile the number of shares of common stock utilized in the earnings per share calculations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Number of potentially dilutive securities excluded from calculation due to antidilutive impact   91,182    1,548,808 

 

Antidilutive securities include outstanding stock options with exercise prices and average unrecognized compensation cost more than the average fair market value of common stock for the related period. Antidilutive securities also include restricted stock awards with average unrecognized compensation cost in excess of the average fair market value of the common stock for the related period. Antidilutive options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share and could become dilutive in future periods.

 

The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share:

 

       
   June 30, 
   2024   2023

Anti-dilutive securities   91,182    1,548,808 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities to be reported at fair value in financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

 

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end.

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The following table provides a roll-forward of the warrant derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable level 3 inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Fair value of warrant redemption payable   (7,325)
Balance as of end of period – June 30, 2024  $631,254 

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s outstanding warrants (except for placement agent warrants) were treated as derivative liabilities and changes in the fair value were recognized in the statement of operations (see Note 5).

 

The Company believes the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments and are excluded from the fair value tables above.

Activ owns the Viactiv® brand and business and is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On May 31, 2024 the Company completed the sale of Activ to Doctor’s Best Inc. (see Note 1). The transaction closed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Doctor’s Best acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ for aggregate cash consideration paid to the Company at closing of $17,200,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”). The carrying amount of the net assets sold (consisting of current assets minus current liabilities) totaled $3,732,615, and the aggregate costs of the transaction incurred during 2024 totaled $1,740,642, resulting in a net gain of $11,726,743 from the sale of Activ for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The Company received net proceeds at closing of $16,250,000, consisting of the Base Purchase Price less transaction costs paid at closing of $725,000, and $225,000 that was withheld and deposited in a third-party escrow account that was established at closing. At June 30, 2024, the $225,000 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount ultimately receivable by the Company from the escrow account is subject to final post-closing adjustments, if any, as determined by the Company and Doctor’s Best pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Warrant Derivative Liability

Warrant Derivative Liability

6. Warrant Derivative Liability

 

In February 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Included in the offering were 740,000 Series A Warrants and 740,000 Series B Warrants.

 

The Series A and Series B warrants contained certain antidilution provisions, including a down round provision and certain cash redemption rights. In addition, the warrants contained a provision which required that the exercise price of such warrants be adjusted to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days immediately following effectiveness of a reverse stock split if such calculation resulted in an exercise price below the then-current exercise price. The Company determined that this provision represented a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC 815-40, and thus the warrants were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and not eligible for an exception from derivative accounting. Accordingly, these warrants were classified as a derivative liability.

 

During 2023, Series B Warrants were exercised into 7,649 shares of common stock and the remainder of the 732,351 Series B Warrants expired on August 24, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 740,000 Series A Warrants, which expire in February 2027. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 49,900 Series A Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, which resulted in the issuance of 8,918 shares of common stock. The closing of the sale of Activ represented a “Fundamental Transaction” pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Series A Warrants. As a result, within 30 days after the closing of the sale of Activ, each Series A Warrant holder had the option to elect to have its Series A Warrants redeemed, in whole or in part, for a cash payment based on a calculation of the defined Black-Scholes value of each warrant as prescribed in the Series A Warrant agreement. Accordingly, during June and July 2024, the Company paid a total of $5,632,429 and $7,325, respectively, to warrant holders who exercised their redemption rights, in the settlement and redemption of 621,300 Series A warrants. As the Series A Warrants were recorded as a derivative liability upon issuance in 2022, the change in the Black-Scholes value upon final settlement was recorded as part of the change in fair value of warrant derivative liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2024, there were 68,800 Series A Warrants that were not redeemed and remained outstanding.

 

In addition, 37,000 warrants were issued in February 2022 to the placement agent for the February 2022 securities offering. The placement agent warrants had the same “Fundamental Transaction” provisions as described above. However, the placement agent warrants did not contain a provision that required that the exercise price of such warrants be adjusted following effectiveness of a reverse stock split. Accordingly, the placement agent warrants, contrary to the accounting for the Series A Warrants, were not recorded as a derivative liability upon issuance. The Company paid the Black-Scholes value of the placement agent warrants of $319,625 to the placement agent, which was recorded as a cost related to the settlement of the warrants in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The fair value of the warrant liability at June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023 was $631,254 and $2,453,100, respectively. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial lattice model are assumptions related to expected probability of event occurrence, including stock splits, stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock warrants based on the Company’s historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant or valuation date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the Company’s historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The derivative liabilities were valued using a binomial lattice model with the following assumptions:

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, wherein grants are measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting periods.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no grants of options to purchase shares of common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,344 shares of common stock to the independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the compensation plan for such directors with grant date fair values of $8,454, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) a volatility rate of 146%, (ii) a discount rate of 3.81% (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) an expected life of 3 years. The options have an exercise price of $7.78 per share, respectively. The options vest on a quarterly basis over two years from the grant date, with the first tranche vesting on September 30, 2023.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) with a grant date fair value of $65,000 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) a volatility rate of 146%, (ii) a discount rate of 3.80%, (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) an expected life of 6 years. The options vest on a quarterly basis thereafter over two years.

 

The Company’s former CEO resigned effective June 9, 2023. All options issued to the former CEO that were not vested at the time of resignation were forfeited. Compensation expense previously recorded related to the unvested options was reversed, resulting in a reduction of stock compensation expense of $(92,412) during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

 

The Company computes stock price volatility over expected terms based on its historical common stock trading prices. The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future. The expected life of the stock options granted is estimated using the “simplified” method, whereby the expected term equals the average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the stock option.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized aggregate share-based compensation expense (income) of $22,352 and $(48,273), respectively, related to the fair value of vested options.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an aggregate of 5,672 remaining unvested options outstanding, with a remaining fair value of approximately $37,000 to be amortized over an average of 1 year. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 28, 2024, the last trading day of the quarter, of $10.04 per share, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2024 was $46,952.

 

Restricted Common Stock

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no grants of restricted common stock.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $4,340 and $10,716, respectively, related to vested restricted shares.

 

The following table summarizes restricted common stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

 

   Number of shares   Fair value of shares

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes

9. Income Taxes

 

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not record any provision for income taxes, as the Company incurred losses for income tax reporting during such periods.

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company completed its sale of all the outstanding equity interests of Activ Nutritional, LLC (“Activ”) for $17,200,000, resulting in a gain for financial reporting purposes of $12,742,385 (see Note 3). For federal and state income tax reporting purposes, the Company will record a loss on the sale of Activ. Most of the loss for income tax purposes is allocable to the sale of intangibles assets, which were previously recorded as goodwill and intangible assets for financial reporting purposes and written off entirely in 2021 and 2022. For income tax reporting purposes, intangibles were not written off and were required to be amortized over a 15-year period. Accordingly, the tax basis for the intangibles exceeded the sale price, resulting in a loss for income tax purposes. For income tax reporting purposes, the loss on sale of the intangibles is a capital loss. The Company has no capital gains during the current year or the three years preceding, as a result of which the net capital loss will carry forward until 2029.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets (including the capital losses described above) as the Company currently believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding equity interests of Activ (see Note 3). The operations of Activ are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. and NutriGuard Formulations, Inc. Viactiv Nutritionals, Inc. was dissolved effective July 22, 2024. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Segment Information

Segment Information

 

As a result of the disposition of the Viactiv® brand and business effective May 31, 2024 (see Note 3), at June 30, 3024, the Company operates and reports in one segment, which consists of the development and distribution of clinically supported dietary supplements for ocular health. The Company’s operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the customer. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer.

 

All products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them. Contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.

 

Historically the Company has not experienced any significant payment delays from customers.

 

In certain circumstances, returns of products are allowed. Due to the insignificant amount of historical returns, the stand-alone nature of our products, and our assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for our sales contracts the Company does not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. The Company assesses its contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Third-Party Outsourcing

 

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of products using a third-party fulfillment center to provide order processing and sales fulfillment, customer invoicing and collections, and product warehousing. Substantially all of the Company’s products are shipped through the third-party fulfillment center to the customer. Shipping charges to customers are included in revenues. In addition, the Company uses the third-party fulfillment center to provide sales and inventory management, and certain marketing and promotional services.

 

The Company outsources the production of substantially all of its products with a third party that manufactures and packages the finished products under a product supply agreement.

 

Costs incurred related to third-party outsourcing, which includes manufacturing, order processing and fulfillment, and warehousing, were $26,499 and $61,809 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $64,475 and $87,309 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold is comprised of the costs for third-party contract manufacturing, packaging, manufacturing fees, and in-bound freight charges.

 

Shipping Costs

Shipping Costs

 

Shipping costs associated with product distribution after manufacture are included as part of cost of goods sold. Shipping and handling expense totaled $7,572 and $8,972 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $17,616 and $22,175 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

 

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense. Advertising costs were $0 and $400 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0 and $1,657 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Concentration of Risk

Concentration of Risk

 

Vendor costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company utilized one vendor for its corporate legal advice. Costs associated with this vendor accounted for approximately 48% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and approximately 31% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023. One other vendor the Company used for insurance purposes accounted for approximately 42% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023. No other vendors accounted for more than 10% of total costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Accounts payable. As of June 30, 2024, three vendors accounted for 75% of total accounts payable. One vendor accounted for 35%, a second vendor accounted for 27% and a third vendor accounted for 13% of the accounts payable at June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, three vendors accounted for 81% of the total accounts payable. One vendor accounted for 55%, a second vendor accounted for 14% and a third vendor accounted for 12% of the accounts payable at December 31, 2023. No other vendor accounted for more than 10% of accounts payable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds deposited with BMO Harris Bank (“BMO”), a major, established, high quality financial institution in short-term (original maturity of generally 60 days or less) liquid investments in money market deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy and are valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the money market fund. The Company has an overnight investment feature established with BMO whereby the Company’s cash is swept into a Money Market Mutual Fund managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. This fund invests solely in high quality U.S. government issued securities. As of June 30, 2024, $14,822,826 included in cash and cash equivalents was held in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Government Institutional Fund, a fund that is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

 

The Company routinely has cash balances in financial institutions in excess of the FDIC and SIPC insurance limits of $250,000 and $500,000, respectively. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the financial institutions that hold such cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this policy.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based awards for stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees in exchange for services is measured at the grant date, using a fair value-based method, such as a Black-Scholes option valuation model, and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model such as risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. The fair value of restricted stock units is measured at the grant date based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is accounted for in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

 

Income (Loss) per Common Share

Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares of unvested restricted common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Shares of vested restricted stock are included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the date they are vested. Dilutive potential common shares include shares from unexercised warrants and options. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be antidilutive.

 

 

The following tables reconcile the number of shares of common stock utilized in the earnings per share calculations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Antidilutive securities include outstanding stock options with exercise prices and average unrecognized compensation cost more than the average fair market value of common stock for the related period. Antidilutive securities also include restricted stock awards with average unrecognized compensation cost in excess of the average fair market value of the common stock for the related period. Antidilutive options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share and could become dilutive in future periods.

 

The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share:

 

       
   June 30, 
   2024   2023

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities to be reported at fair value in financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

 

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end.

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Fair value of warrant redemption payable   (7,325)
Balance as of end of period – June 30, 2024  $631,254 

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s outstanding warrants (except for placement agent warrants) were treated as derivative liabilities and changes in the fair value were recognized in the statement of operations (see Note 5).

 

The Company believes the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments and are excluded from the fair value tables above.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-03, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Presentation of Financial Statements (“ASU 2023-03”). ASU 2023-03 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to include Amendments to SEC Paragraphs pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022 EITF Meeting, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280 — General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income or Loss Applicable to Common Stock. As ASU 2023-03 did not provide any new guidance, there was no transition or effective date associated with its adoption. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2023-03 immediately upon its issuance. The adoption of ASU 2023-03 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including their presentation and related disclosures.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. ASU-2023-07 also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024.The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including their presentation and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements and guidance issued by FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
