The Company has an authorized capital of 500,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 87,352,364 shares are outstanding as of June 30, 2021, and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.

 

Overview of Operations

 

RenovaCare, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp. is a development-stage company focusing on the research, development and commercialization of autologous (using a patient’s own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications.

 

On July 12, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of its flagship technologies (collectively, the “CellMistTM System”). The CellMist™ System is a cell isolation procedure that enzymatically renders stem cells from the patient’s own skin or other tissues. The resulting stem cell suspension is administered topically from the Company’s novel solution sprayer device (the “SkinGunTM”) as a cell therapy onto wounds including burns to facilitate healing.

 

In August 2019, the Company was awarded a continuation of a patent allowing the SkinGunTM to be used to spray all varieties of tissues and cells, thus allowing for its potential application in the regeneration of tissues and organs, beyond skin; and, in November 2020, the Company was issued two new patents encompassing improvements to the SkinGun™, expanding its potential application beyond the surgical setting into the field, and allowing the use of liquid suspension solutions to include drugs, hormones, and other useful agents.

 

On May 6, 2021 the Food and Drug Administration gave full-approval of the Company’s Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to proceed with initial clinical testing of the CellMist™ System and SkinGun™ spray device in adult burn patients.

 

The Company has four United States patents and patents in Germany, Australia, Canada, and Europe, with the European patent being validated in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland/Lichtenstein, and United Kingdom. The Company also has patent applications pending in the United States and in multiple countries.

 

The Company has six allowed trademarks in the United States and two pending applications. Globally, the Company has two European registered trademarks, two United Kingdom trademarks, two pending in Canada, and one allowed and one pending in Japan.

 

Improvements in the design and efficiency of the CellMist™ System including a closed, automated cell isolation device and the SkinGun™ spray device are in development with StemCell Systems (Berlin, Germany), the Company’s R&D innovation partner. The Company is adapting its core technologies for possible use in other clinical indications. The Company is also developing the cell isolation and spray gun devices as stand-alone 510(k)-cleared products for isolation of cells from other tissues and spraying other solutions of medical importance.

The Company does not have any commercialized products. The Company's activities have consisted principally of performing research and development activities and raising capital to support such activities. The Company has enlisted the assistance of several Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO) to manufacture clinical supplies including components of the CellMist System™ and the electronic SkinGun™ spray devices in compliance with FDA’s guidance for current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Contract Research Organizations (CRO) to test and validate the Company’s products and processes and to conduct clinical trials that evaluate initially the safety and feasibility of an autologous skin cell therapy using the Company’s products to facilitate burn wound healing. These development activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including possible failure of preclinical and clinical testing. The Company has not generated any revenue and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies and expects that it will need to raise additional capital through partnerships or the sale of its securities to accomplish its business plan. Failing to secure such additional funding before achieving sustainable revenue and profit from operations poses a significant risk. The Company's ability to fund the development of its cellular therapies depends on the amount and timing of cash receipts from future financing activities. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of RenovaCare, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2021, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for  quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These Consolidated Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2021, results of operations and stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company did not record an income tax provision during the periods presented due to net taxable losses. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.

 

Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $4,342,978 of cash on hand and cash equivalents, and working capital of $4,592,838. As a result, the Company believes it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months following the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, the Company has experienced and continues to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as an ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment. The Company expects that it may need to raise additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. See “Overview of Operations” above.

 

Additionally, there is uncertainty relating to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and capital requirements. Should financing when needed be unavailable or prohibitively expensive or the COVID-19 pandemic continue, it may adversely affect the Company’s ability to (i) retain employees and consultants; (ii) obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all; (iii) delay regulatory submissions and approvals; (iv) delay, limit or preclude the Company from the operation of clinical study sites and testing laboratories; (v) delay, limit or preclude the Company from achieving technology or product development goals, milestones, or objectives; and (vi) preclude or delay entry into joint venture or partnership arrangements. The occurrence of any one or more of such events may affect the Company’s ability to continue on its pathway to commercialization of its technology or products.

Recent Accounting Standards

 

Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental US GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification.

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable, the Company has not identified any standards that the Company believes merit further discussion other than as discussed above. The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented. Diluted EPS amounts are based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period presented. The Company has not included the effects of warrants, stock options and convertible debt on net loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.

 

Following is the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Note 3. Equity

 

2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

On June 20, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and on November 15, 2013, a stockholder owning a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock approved adoption to the 2013 Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Plan, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance to the Company’s officers, directors, employees and consultants in order to attract and hire key technical personnel and management. Options granted to employees under the 2013 Plan, including directors and officers who are employees, may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options; options granted to others under the 2013 Plan are limited to non-qualified stock options. As of June 30, 2021, there were 16,668,266 shares available for future grants.

  

The 2013 Plan is administered by the Board or a committee designated by the Board. Subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan, the Board has the authority to determine the officers, employees and consultants to whom options will be granted, the number of shares covered by each option, vesting rights and the terms and conditions of each option that is granted to them; however, no person may be granted options to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares in any one fiscal year under the 2013 Plan, and the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan are exercisable no later than ten years after the date of grant.

 

The exercise price per share of common stock for options granted under the 2013 Plan is the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, using the closing price of the Company's common stock on the last trading day prior to the date of grant, except for incentive stock options granted to a holder of ten percent or more of the Company's common stock, for whom the exercise price per share will not be less than 110% of the fair market value. No option can be granted under the 2013 Plan after June 20, 2023.

 

Common Stock

 

At June 30, 2021, the Company had 500,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share and 87,352,364 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any common stock transactions.

Stock Options

 

 

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

 

               
    Number of Options   Weighted Average Exercise Price ($)   Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)   Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($)
Outstanding at December 31, 2020     5,895,570       2.45       5.14       3,376,267  
Forfeited     (2,805,571 )     2.74                  
Outstanding at June 30, 2021     3,089,999       2.18       4.96       4,177,775  
Vested and exercisable at June 30, 2021     2,427,499       1.90       4.93       3,972,400  

 

 

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of stock options is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected term of the stock options. The ranges of assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Model during the six months ended June 30, 2020 is set forth in the table below:

 

   
    Six Months Ended
    June 30, 2020
Risk-free interest rate   0.034% - 1.67%
Expected term in years   3.25 4.98
Weighted Avg. Expected Volatility   105.71% 106.88%
Expected dividend yield     0%  

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the expected term. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of an award. Our calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the term of the awards. The average expected life is based on the contractual terms of the stock option using the simplified method. We utilize a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no current intention to pay cash dividends. Future stock-based compensation may significantly differ based on changes in the fair value of our Common Stock and our estimates of expected volatility and the other relevant assumptions.

 

The following table sets forth the share-based compensation cost resulting from stock option grants, including those previously granted and vesting over time, that were recorded in the Company’s Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

 

                               
    Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30
    2021   2020   2021   2020
Research and development   $ 228,625     $ 631,876     $ 507,438     $ 631,876

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

 

During the first half of 2021, certain individuals resigned from the Company resulting in the forfeiture and cancellation of 2,805,571 options. Compensation expense was recorded on some of these options prior to their full vesting. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $66,130 and $1,248,575, respectively, of reversals of the prior recognized compensation expense related to the cancelled options. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the expense recognized for options still in their vesting period totaled $265,726 and $639,541, respectively.

 

Note 4. Leases

 

In February 2020, the Company entered into a two-year lease for office premises located at 4 Becker Farm Road, Suite 105, Roseland, New Jersey. Monthly base rent in year one of the lease is $4,356; and $4,459 in year 2 of the lease. The term (and payment of the monthly rent) commenced upon completion of the landlord’s work on August 1, 2020.

 

The Company’s existing Lease is not subject to any restrictions or covenants which preclude its ability to pay dividends, obtain financing, or enter into additional Lease’s.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not entered into any leases which have not yet commenced which would entitle the Company to significant rights or create additional obligations.

 

The Company does not have any finance leases.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Stem Cell Systems

 

In connection with the Company’s anticipated regulatory filings, the Company has engaged StemCell Systems GmbH (“StemCell Systems”) to provide it with prototypes and related documents under various agreements. On July 1, 2020, the Company and StemCell Systems entered into a Strategic R&D Agreement (the “Strategic Agreement”) having an initial term of three years with successive one-year extensions unless earlier terminated. The Strategic Agreement includes a $27,000 monthly fee to be paid to StemCell Systems along with any additional expenses incurred. The Company, StemCell Systems and certain affiliates of StemCells entered into a Rights of First Refusal and Corporate Opportunities Agreement (the “ROFR Agreement”). Pursuant to the ROFR Agreement, (i) in the event a StemCell Systems stockholder receives an offer from a third party to acquire the StemCell Systems stockholders ownership interest, the Company shall have ten business days to purchase such ownership, and (ii) if during the terms of the Strategic Agreement, any StemCell Systems inventions, with respect to skin, burns and wounds, designs, inventions and among other things, whether or not patentable, copyrightable or otherwise legally protectable are discovered by StemCell Systems, the Company shall have the first option to negotiate mutually agreeable terms for the Company’s acquisition or licensing of the StemCell Systems inventions. Pursuant to these engagements the Company incurred expenses of approximately $128,000 and $122,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively; and $248,000 and $199,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

SEC Complaint

 

On May 28, 2021 the SEC filed a civil complaint naming the Company and Harmel S. Rayat, RenovaCare Chairman as defendants (the “Complaint”). The Complaint charges Mr. Rayat and the Company with violating the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and also charges Mr. Rayat with aiding and abetting the Company's violations of those provisions. The complaint also charges the Company with violating the reporting provisions of Exchange Act Section 15(d) and Rules 15d-11 and 12b-20 thereunder. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions and civil penalties against Mr. Rayat and the Company, and officer-and-director and penny stock bars against Mr. Rayat.

 

The Company believes that the claims asserted in the Complaint are without merit and intends to defend this matter vigorously. Most, if not all, of the cost to defend the Company and Mr. Rayat is expected to be covered by insurance. However, because of the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of this proceeding, the Company is unable, at this time, to estimate the possible impact of the outcome of this matter nor provide assurance that the available insurance coverage will be sufficient to see the Complaint through to resolution.

 

Class Action Complaints

 

On July 16 and July 21, 2021, two purported shareholders of the Company filed putative class actions in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers (captioned Gabrielle A. Boller, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. RenovaCare, Inc., Harmel Rayat, and Thomas Bold, No. 2:21-cv-13766-SDW-ESK (“Boller”), and Michael Solakian, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. RenovaCare, Inc., Harmel Rayat, and Thomas Bold, No. 2:21-cv-13930 (“Solakian”), respectively). The complaints in Boller and Solakian were brought both individually and on behalf of a putative class of the Company’s stockholders, claiming that in connection with the facts and circumstances underlying the allegations in the SEC Complaint, the Company engaged in fraudulent conduct and made false and misleading statements of material fact or omitted to state material facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading. Both Boller and Solakian seek to declare the action to be a class action and monetary damages, including costs and expenses, and award of reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other costs, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

 

The Company believes that the claims asserted in Boller and Solakian  and any other Class Actions derived from the SEC Complaint are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. Based on the early stages of these legal proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty as to their outcome, at this time, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate a possible range of loss, if any, that may result from the allegations set forth in the complaints filed in the Class Actions.

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Talia Jevan Properties, Inc. made payments totaling $5,287 and $10,811, respectively, to Stephen Yan-Klassen, former CFO who resigned in 2020, for his salary on behalf of the Company. Talia Jevan Properties, Inc. is a related party of Harmel S. Rayat, Chairman of the Board.

 

On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement, as amended on May 1, 2016, with Jatinder Bhogal, an individual owning in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to provide consulting services to the Company through his wholly owned company, Vector Asset Management, Inc. (“VAMI”). Pursuant to the consulting agreement, VAMI assisted the Company with identifying subject matter experts in the medical device and biotechnology industries and assisted the Company with its ongoing research, development and eventual commercialization of its Regeneration Technology. Pursuant to an amendment dated May 1, 2016, the VAMI monthly consulting fee was increased from $5,000 to $6,800. On June 22, 2018, the Company and VAM entered into an Executive Consulting Agreement (the “ECA”) pursuant to which Mr. Bhogal served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. The ECA supersedes the prior consulting agreement. Pursuant to the ECA, VAMI received compensation of $120,000 per year. On July 1, 2020 the Company amended the ECA and paid VAMI $4,000 per month through November 30, 2020 and $200 per month thereafter until May 31, 2021 at which time the ECA as amended expired. For consulting services provided by VAMI, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized expenses of $400 and $30,000, respectively; and $1,000 and $60,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Jatinder Bhogal resigned as the Company’s COO effective June 30, 2020.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of RenovaCare, Inc. (“RenovaCare”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively with RenovaCare, “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis the Company reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” and have not changed significantly since 2020.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as information relating to the Company that is based on management's exercise of business judgment and assumptions made by and information currently available to management. Although forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us.

Overview

 

We are a development-stage biotechnology and medical device company focusing on the research, development and commercialization of autologous (using a patient's own cells) cellular therapies that can be used for medical and aesthetic applications. The Company does not have any commercialized products. The Company's activities have consisted principally of performing research and development activities, business development efforts, and raising capital to support such activities.

  

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RenovaCare Sciences Corp., owns the CellMist™ System which is a cell isolation procedure that enzymatically renders stem cells from the patient’s own skin or other tissues. The resulting stem cell suspension is administered topically with our SkinGun™ spray device as a cell therapy onto wounds including burns to facilitate healing.

 

In May 2021, the Company announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fully approved the Company’s Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application to conduct a clinical trial that will evaluate the safety and feasibility of autologous skin and pluripotent stem cells rendered by its manual CellMist™ System from donor skin and applied topically with the electronic SkinGun™ spray device for treatment of acute burn wounds. The clinical trial protocol is an open-label single-arm clinical study that will enroll 14 adult human burn subjects with partial-thickness, second-degree thermal burn wounds covering between 10% and 30% total body surface area. The Company expects to conduct the clinical study at up to four (4) U.S. burn centers. Currently, the clinical trial is activated and screening patients at its first burn center.

 

The development of our new closed, automated cell isolation device for the CellMistTM System is in the early stage, and we expect significant time and resources will be devoted to develop our technology and determine the commercial feasibility of the product. Research and development of new technologies involve a high degree of risk, and there is no assurance that our development activities will result in a commercially viable product. The long-term profitability of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our development programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.

 

The Company has four United States patents and patents in Germany, Australia, Canada, and Europe, with the European patent being validated in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland/Lichtenstein, and United Kingdom. The Company also has patent applications pending in the United States and in multiple countries.

 

The Company has six allowed trademarks in the United States and two pending applications. Globally, the Company has two European registered trademarks, two United Kingdom trademarks, two pending in Canada, and one allowed and one pending in Japan.

 

The Company has not generated any revenue and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies and expects that it will need to raise additional capital through partnerships or the sale of its securities to accomplish its business plan. Failing to secure such additional funding before achieving sustainable revenue and profit from operations poses a significant risk. The Company's ability to fund the development of its cellular therapies depends on the amount and timing of cash receipts from future financing activities. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

 

Additionally, there is significant uncertainty relating to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and capital requirements. Should financing when needed be unavailable or prohibitively expensive or the COVID-19 pandemic continue, it may adversely affect the Company’s ability to (i) retain employees and consultants; (ii) obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all; (iii) delay regulatory submissions and approvals; (iv) delay, limit or preclude the Company from the operation of clinical study sites and testing laboratories; (v) delay, limit or preclude the Company from achieving technology or product development goals, milestones, or objectives; and (vi) preclude or delay entry into joint venture or partnership arrangements. The occurrence of any one or more of such events may affect the Company’s ability to continue its pathway to commercialization of its technology or products.

 

  14  

 

Although the Company continues to monitor the situation and may adjust policies as more information and public health guidance become available, the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and its dynamic nature, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak and actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain the outbreak or to treat its impact, makes it difficult to assess whether there will be further impact on the development and commercialization of the Company’s technology which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

 

Components of Our Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

To date we have not generated any product revenues and do not expect to generate any revenue for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate revenue and become profitable depends upon our ability to obtain marketing approval and successfully commercialization of our CellMistTM System.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the development of our CellMistTM System and include:

 

  · design, pilot-scale manufacturing and pre-clinical testing of our cell isolation and SkinGunTM spray devices.

 

  · employee-related expenses associated with our research and development activities, including salaries, benefits, travel and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses.

 

  ·

costs associated with quality management systems including device verification and validation testing,

and regulatory operations and regulatory compliance.

 

  · expenses incurred under agreements related to our clinical trials.

 

  · other research and development costs including contract consulting fees and non-cash stock-based compensation to contract research organizations (CROs) and other third parties.

 

We do not believe that it is possible at this time to accurately project total expenses required for us to reach commercialization of our CellMistTM System. In the future, we expect that research and development expenses will increase due to our ongoing product development and approval efforts. We expense research and development costs as incurred.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation related to directors and employees, professional service costs including legal, accounting, and other consulting fees and other general and administrative expenses including investor relations, insurance, and facilities costs. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in the future as we hire personnel and incur additional costs to support the expansion of our research and development activities and our operation as a public company.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Expense associated with equity-based transactions is calculated and expensed in our financial statements as required pursuant to various accounting rules and is non-cash in nature. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options.

 

  15  

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

 

We have yet to generate taxable income. We have historically incurred operating losses resulting in carry forward tax losses totaling approximately $22.3 million as of December 31, 2020. We anticipate that we will continue to generate tax losses for the foreseeable future and that we will be able to carry forward these tax losses indefinitely to future taxable years. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay taxes until we have taxable income after the full utilization of our carry forward tax losses. We have provided a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets related to these carry forward losses.

(1) Manufacturing clinical supplies decreased due to completion of the pilot-scale manufacturing and validation testing of the components of the CellMist™ System and the electronic SkinGun™ spray device to be used in our clinical trials.
(2) Personnel related expenses, including stock-based compensation, increased due to the allocation of Stem Cell Systems personnel in support of the development of our CellMist™ System.
(3) Stock compensation expense decreased due primarily to the completion of vesting in 2020 of prior issued stock options in excess of the amounts recognized in the current year upon the continued vesting of other R&D related stock options grants.
(4) Clinical trial expenses increased due to the addition of clinical professionals, clinical site activation costs and costs related to the preparation of our clinical trials which began in the second quarter of 2021. We expect clinical trial expenses to increase significantly in 2021 due to patient enrollment, treatment, follow-up visits, clinical sample testing and medical site monitoring.
(5) All other expenses decreased as validation testing for the electronic SkinGun ™ concluded and we transitioned to prototype development of the cell isolation device at StemCell Systems.

  16  

 

(1) Personnel related costs increased due to slightly higher headcount in the current year.
(2) Stock compensation expense decreased due to the forfeiture and cancellation of 2,805,571 stock options as a result of the resignation of Alan Rubino, the Company’s former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, the resignation of Robert Cook, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the removal, by the Company’s stockholders of Kenneth Kirkland and Lydia Evans, as members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Compensation expense was recorded on these options prior to their full vesting. As a result, the Company recognized a $66,130 and $1,314,705 reversal of the prior recognized compensation expense related to the cancelled options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The G&A expense recognized for options still in their vesting period totaled $37,104 and 132,104 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
(3) Professional and consultant fees decreased due to a decrease in legal fees and accounting and auditing fees offset by an increase in fees related to our patents and trademarks.
(4) All other costs decreased primarily due to the absence of the charitable contribution to the Office of Research at the University of Pittsburgh which the Company recognized $62,500 and $125,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company does not have any commercialized products, has not generated any meaningful revenue since inception and has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows since inception. The Company has incurred operating losses of $3.1 million and $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company expects to incur losses as it continues development of its products and technologies. Historically, the Company has been funded through the sale of equity securities and debt financings. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $4.3 million of cash. The Company believes that it currently has sufficient cash to meet its funding requirements over the next twelve months.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to operating costs of $2.1 million and the payment of liabilities of approximately $1.0 million.

 

Net cash used in investing was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $8 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

 

There was no net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and contract and contribution payable, approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and their liquidity. It is not practical to determine the fair value of the Company’s notes payable and accrued interest due to the complex terms. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Market Risk Disclosures

 

We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or year ended December 31, 2020, and the subsequent period through the date of this report.

 

  17  

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations at June 30, 2021, and the subsequent period through the date of this annual report, that are likely to have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have not been disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Accounting Standards

 

See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding recent accounting standards and their impact to our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Talia Jevan Properties, Inc. made payments totaling $5,287 and $10,811, respectively, to Stephen Yan-Klassen, former CFO who resigned in 2020, for his salary on behalf of the Company. Talia Jevan Properties, Inc. is a related party of Harmel S. Rayat, Chairman of the Board.

 

On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting agreement, as amended on May 1, 2016, with Jatinder Bhogal, an individual owning in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, to provide consulting services to the Company through his wholly owned company, Vector Asset Management, Inc. (“VAMI”). Pursuant to the consulting agreement, VAMI assisted the Company with identifying subject matter experts in the medical device and biotechnology industries and assisted the Company with its ongoing research, development and eventual commercialization of its Regeneration Technology. Pursuant to an amendment dated May 1, 2016, the VAMI monthly consulting fee was increased from $5,000 to $6,800. On June 22, 2018, the Company and VAM entered into an Executive Consulting Agreement (the “ECA”) pursuant to which Mr. Bhogal served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. The ECA supersedes the prior consulting agreement. Pursuant to the ECA, VAMI received compensation of $120,000 per year. On July 1, 2020 the Company amended the ECA and paid VAMI $4,000 per month through November 30, 2020 and $200 per month thereafter until May 31, 2021 at which time the ECA as amended expired. For consulting services provided by VAMI, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized expenses of $400 and $30,000, respectively; and $1,000 and $60,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Jatinder Bhogal resigned as the Company’s COO effective June 30, 2020.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

  18  

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at June 30, 2021 due to inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is comprised of a very small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations of segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size and that this weakness did not have a material effect on our financial statements and results of operations.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), or in factors that could materially affect internal controls, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, or subsequent to the date that management completed their evaluation, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On May 28, 2021 the SEC filed a civil complaint naming the Company and Harmel S. Rayat, RenovaCare Chairman as defendants (the “Complaint”).

 

The SEC's complaint, regarding legacy events from over 3 years ago, alleges that in July 2017, Mr. Rayat arranged, and caused RenovaCare to pay for a promotional campaign designed to increase the company's stock price. The complaint alleges that Mr. Rayat was closely involved in directing the promotion and editing promotional materials, and arranged to funnel payments to the publisher through consultants to conceal the Company's involvement in the campaign. According to the complaint, in January 2018, OTC Markets Group, Inc. requested the Company issue a press release to explain its relationship to the promotion. The complaint alleges that Mr. Rayat and the Company then drafted and issued a press release and a Form 8-K that contained material misrepresentations and omissions denying Mr. Rayat's and the company's involvement in the promotion.

 

The SEC's complaint charges Mr. Rayat and the Company with violating the antifraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and also charges Mr. Rayat with aiding and abetting the company's violations of those provisions. The complaint also charges the Company with violating the reporting provisions of Exchange Act Section 15(d) and Rules 15d-11 and 12b-20 thereunder. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions and civil penalties against Mr. Rayat and the Company, and officer-and-director and penny stock bars against Mr. Rayat.

 

The Company takes issue with the statements in the Complaint and intends to defend itself and its stockholders against allegations made by the SEC.

 

On July 16 and July 21, 2021, two purported shareholders of the Company filed putative class actions in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Company and certain of its current and former executive officers (captioned Gabrielle A. Boller, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. RenovaCare, Inc., Harmel Rayat, and Thomas Bold, No. 2:21-cv-13766-SDW-ESK (“Boller”), and Michael Solakian, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. RenovaCare, Inc., Harmel Rayat, and Thomas Bold, No. 2:21-cv-13930 (“Solakian”), respectively). The complaints in Boller and Solakian were brought both individually and on behalf of a putative class of the Company’s stockholders, claiming that in connection with the facts and circumstances underlying the allegations in the SEC Complaint, the Company engaged in fraudulent conduct and made false and misleading statements of material fact or omitted to state material facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading. Both Boller and Solakian seek to declare the action to be a class action and monetary damages, including costs and expenses, and award of reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other costs, and such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

 

  19  

 

The Company believes that the claims asserted in Boller and Solakian  and any other Class Actions derived from the SEC Complaint are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. Based on the early stages of these legal proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty as to their outcome, at this time, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate a possible range of loss, if any, that may result from the allegations set forth in the complaints filed in the Class Actions.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by numerous risks. In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2020. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

We are the subject of an SEC Complaint. Adverse developments in our ongoing proceeding and/or future legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

 

We are currently subject to an SEC Complaint. Refer to Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding this specific matter. We may be subject to additional investigations, arbitration proceedings, audits, regulatory inquiries and similar actions, including matters related to intellectual property, employment, securities laws, disclosures, tax, accounting, class action and product liability, as well as regulatory and other claims related to our business and our industry, which we refer to collectively as legal proceedings. We cannot predict the outcome of any particular proceeding, or whether ongoing investigations, will be resolved favorably or ultimately result in charges or material damages, fines or other penalties, enforcement actions, bars against serving as an officer or director, or practicing before the SEC, or civil or criminal proceedings against us or members of our senior management.

 

Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and we are unable to predict how long the legal proceedings to which we are currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations or our stock price. Any proceeding could negatively impact our reputation among our stakeholders. Furthermore, publicity surrounding ongoing legal proceedings, even if resolved favorably for us, could result in additional legal proceedings against us, as well as damage our image.
