Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

1. Organization and Business Operations

Business

Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical nutrition and diagnostics company that develops and distributes clinically supported nutrition, medical foods, supplements and medical devices. The Company offers a portfolio of science-based, clinically supported products and devices designed to support healthcare professionals and providers, and their patients and consumers. In June 2021, the Company acquired Activ Nutritional, LLC (“Activ”), the owner and distributor of the Viactiv® line of chewable mineral supplements for bone health and other applications (see Note 3). Prior to its acquisition of Activ, the Company has been primarily engaged in research and development, product commercialization and capital raising activities.

The Company was formed in December 2009 as a California limited liability company under the name P4L Health Sciences, LLC. On June 30, 2015, the Company converted from a California limited liability company to a Delaware corporation, and changed its name from Guardion Health Sciences, LLC to Guardion Health Sciences, Inc.

Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $7,209,813 and used cash in operating activities of $7,285,354. At June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and short-term investments on hand totaling $12,502,677 and working capital of $14,741,926. Notwithstanding the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021, management believes that its current cash balance is sufficient to ensure continuation of the Company as a going concern for at least one year from the date of this quarterly report.

The amount and timing of future cash requirements will depend, in part, on the Company’s ability to ultimately achieve operating profitability. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and negative operating cash flows in the near-term and will continue to incur significant expenses for the development, commercialization and distribution of its clinical nutrition products (including the Viactiv® product line), the development and commercialization of its diagnostics equipment, and the successful development and commercialization of any new products or product lines. The Company may also utilize cash to fund additional acquisitions.

The Company may seek to raise additional debt and/or equity capital to fund future operations and strategic initiatives, but there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure such additional financing in the amounts necessary to fully fund its operating requirements on acceptable terms or at all. Over time, if the Company is unable to access sufficient capital resources on a timely basis to fund its operations, the Company may be forced to reduce or discontinue some or all of its technology and product development programs and curtail operations.

COVID-19

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic that could adversely impact our business. The Company has implemented additional health and safety precautions and protocols in response to the pandemic and government guidelines, including curtailing employee travel and primarily working remotely. During 2020 and through the first half of 2021, sales of certain products remained flat as compared to prior comparable periods, as many professional offices were closed for long periods, or operating with limited capacity, due to COVID-19 related orders. During 2020 and through the second quarter of 2021, the Company did not experience a jeopardization of its supply chain due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict and quantify. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat it, including vaccination efforts and new strains of the virus, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. 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, 2021.

Reverse Stock Split

On March 1, 2021, following stockholder and board approval, the Company effectuated a 1-for-6 reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, without any change to its par value. The authorized number of shares of common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split, as all fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole share.

Accordingly, all share and per share amounts presented herein with respect to common stock have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the above-described reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, VectorVision Ocular Health, Inc., NutriGuard Formulations, Inc., Transcranial Doppler Solutions, Inc, and Activ Nutritional, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our 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 inventories at net realizable value, assumptions used in valuing assets acquired in business acquisitions, impairment testing of goodwill and other long-term assets, 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 from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates its revenue from two business segments:

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. The Company reviews its sales transactions to identify contractual rights, performance obligations, and transaction prices, including the allocation of prices to separate performance obligations, if applicable.

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.

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

In certain circumstances, returns of products are allowed. A right of return does not represent a separate performance obligation, but because customers are allowed to return products, the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled is variable. Upon evaluation of historical product returns, the Company determined it is probable that such returns will not cause a significant reversal of revenue in the future. Due to the insignificant amount of historical returns, as well as the standalone nature of the Company’s products and assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for the Company’s sales contracts, the Company does not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance at this time. The Company assesses its contracts and the reasonableness of its conclusions on a quarterly basis.

Revenues by segment are as follows:

 Schedule of Revenues by Segment

The Company’s Clinical Nutrition revenues earned during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are derived from distributors and individual retail customers in North America. Diagnostics Equipment revenues are derived from a worldwide customer base consisting of both retail customers and distributors. Sales to distributors were approximately 81% and 58% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which included the Viactiv® product line from June 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021.

Revenues by geographical area are as follows:

Schedule of Revenue by Geographical Area 

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting where the purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth and margins, future changes in technology, brand awareness and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Investments

Short-term investments as of June 30, 2021, consist of a U.S. Treasury Bill, which is classified as held-to-maturity. The Company’s U.S. Treasury Bill matured July 29, 2021 and the proceeds were reinvested into another U.S. Treasury Bill that is scheduled to mature approximately 30 days from the date of purchase. Unrealized gains and losses were de minimus. As of June 30, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s U.S. Treasury Bill approximates its fair value due to its short-term maturity.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. Management evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable and determines an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-offs, known or expected trends, and the identification of specific balances deemed uncollectible based on a customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions.

There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2021 and December 31,2020.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. The Company records adjustments to its inventory for estimated obsolescence or diminution in net realizable value equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in the period in which it occurs. Once inventory has been written down, it creates a new cost basis for inventory that may not subsequently written up. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no write-downs of inventory.

Intangible Assets

Amortizable finite-lived identifiable intangible assets consist of a trade name and customer relationships acquired in the acquisition of Activ effective June 1,2021 (See Note 3), and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The trade name and customer relationships are being amortized over a period of 10 years. The Company follows ASC 360 in accounting for finite-lived intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. As of June 30, 2021, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its intangible assets.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has a trademark for $50,000 classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset.

 Goodwill

Goodwill consists of the excess of the cost of Activ (see Note 3) over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Under the guidance of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform an annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31 of each fiscal year.

Concentrations

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, two customers accounted for approximately 39% and 13% of the Company’s sales. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, two customers accounted for approximately 33% and 11% of the Company’s sales. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of sales during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Cash balances are maintained at large, well-established financial institutions. At times, cash balances exceed federally insured limits. Insurance coverage limits are $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution. 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.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs consist primarily of fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, and other expenses relating to the acquisition, design, development and testing of the Company’s Clinical Nutrition products. Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred and totaled $16,756 and $44,581 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $37,364 and $75,769 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Patent Costs

The Company is the owner of four issued domestic patents, two pending domestic patent applications and one granted patent in Canada. Due to the significant uncertainty associated with the successful development of one or more commercially viable products based on the Company’s research efforts and any related patent applications, patent costs, including patent-related legal fees, filing fees and internally generated costs, are expensed as incurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, patent costs were $34,940 and $60,501, respectively, and are included in general and administrative costs in the statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. Such grants vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees as compensation expense on a straight-line or graded basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during a period. 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. Dilutive potential common shares include shares from unexercised warrants and options. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share is the same for all periods presented the Company had a net loss for all periods presented and all shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and options would therefore be anti-dilutive.

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at 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 Company believes the carrying amount of its financial instruments (consisting of cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

At December 31, 2020, the Company’s balance sheets included Level 2 liabilities comprised of the fair value of warrant liabilities of $25,978 (see Note 9). At June 30, 2021, the Company had no warrant liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss was measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 requires only a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (not to exceed the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). Entities are required to apply ASU 2017-04 on a prospective basis. ASU 2017-04 was effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance in ASC 740. ASU 2019-12 was effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments by eliminating the cash conversion and beneficial conversion models. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. For contracts in an entity’s own equity, the type of contracts primarily affected by this update are freestanding and embedded features that are accounted for as derivatives under the current guidance due to a failure to meet the settlement conditions of the derivative scope exception. This update simplifies the related settlement assessment by removing the requirements to (i) consider whether the contract would be settled in registered shares, (ii) consider whether collateral is required to be posted, and (iii) assess shareholder rights. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024, for the Company and the provisions of this update can be adopted using either the modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded a derivative liability of $25,978 related to 10,417 warrants issued in 2019 because the settlement provisions of the warrants contained language that the shares underlying the warrants are required to be registered. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2020-06 removed the requirement to consider if the warrants would be settled in registered shares, and accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit of $25,978 and a decrease in derivative warrant liability of $25,978 on January 1, 2021.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

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

3. Acquisition of Activ Nutritional, LLC.

On June 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Activ. The acquisition was made pursuant to an equity purchase agreement dated May 18, 2021 between the Company, Adare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (“Adare”), and Activ. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of Activ from Adare for $26,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the equity purchase agreement.

Activ owns the Viactiv® line of supplement chews for bone health, immune health and other applications which are currently marketed through many of the nation’s largest retailers, including, among others, Walmart (retail and online), Target and Amazon. The Viactiv product lines are expected to become the Company’s most prominent product lines for the foreseeable future.

The Company utilized the acquisition method of accounting for the acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company allocated the purchase price to Activ’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach, pursuant to which after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value based on projections and other available financial data. The cash flows were based on estimates used to value the acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model, as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The valuation assumptions took into consideration the Company’s estimates of customer attrition and revenue growth projections. The excess of the purchase price paid by the Company over the estimated fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the fair value of the purchase consideration to the fair value of tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities of Activ on the date of acquisition:

The Company consolidated Activ’s operations with the Company’s operations commencing June 1, 2021, the closing date of the transaction. Activ’s operations are included in the Company’s Clinical Nutrition segment. The amount of revenue and net income of Activ included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, was $1,049,803 and $231,288, respectively.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, investment banking and other professional fees) are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but were expensed as incurred. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $2,104,000 of acquisition-related costs, which are included as a line item in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is presented as if the acquisition of Activ had occurred on January 1, 2020, after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma results of operations are presented for informational purposes only and are not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had actually been consummated on January 1, 2020. These results are prepared in accordance with ASC 606.

Trade name and trademarks, and customer relationship intangible assets are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years. The pro forma adjustments include a net increase in amortization expense to record amortization expense for the $11,900,000 of acquired net identifiable intangible assets, and an adjustment to present acquisition-related transaction costs and other one-time costs directly attributable to the acquisition as if they were incurred in the earliest period presented.

4. Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

Schedule of Inventories 

The Company’s inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

5. Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net consisted of the following:

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, depreciation and amortization expense was $41,107 and $46,619, respectively.

6. Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets, net consisted of the following:

The expected future amortization expense for amortizable finite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2021 is as follows:

7. Operating Leases

The Company leases an office and certain warehouse space under two operating leases. The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, lease costs totaled $52,585 and $30,488, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, lease costs totaled $98,486 and $74,069, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s net right of use asset totaled $418,590. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded amortization of right-of-use asset of $39,470 and $79,328, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the net right-of-use assets were $339,262.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s operating lease liabilities totaled $434,748. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company made payments of $101,993 towards the operating lease liability. As of June 30, 2021, the operating lease liabilities totaled $355,127.

As of June 30, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease terms for operating leases are 2.04 years, and the weighted average discount rate for operating lease is 3.9%.

Future minimum lease payments under the leases are as follows:

8. Payable to Former Officer

Effective June 15, 2020, Michael Favish resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and also resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. Terms of the settlement agreement between the parties included the continuation of his previous salary of $325,000 during the twelve months subsequent to his resignation. The $325,000 of aggregate settlement payments was recorded in costs related to resignation of former officer expense in the consolidated statements of operations during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020. The final payment due the former officer was made on June 15, 2021.

9. Derivative Liability

On April 9, 2019, the Company issued 10,417 warrants with an exercise price of $30.00 per share to the underwriter in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The Company accounted for these warrants as a derivative liability in the financial statements because they were associated with the initial public offering, which was a registered offering, and the settlement provisions contained language that the shares underlying the warrants were required to be registered. The fair value of the warrants was remeasured at each reporting period, and the change in the fair value was recognized in earnings in the statements of operations. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the derivative warrant liability was $25,978.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach. ASU 2020-06 removed the requirement to consider if the warrants would be settled in registered shares, and accordingly, the adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit of $25,978 and a decrease in derivative warrant liability of $25,978 on January 1, 2021.

At December 31, 2020, the fair value of such warrant was determined to be $2.49 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, investors exercised a total of 1,647,691 warrants for 1,647,691 shares of common stock. The warrants were exercisable for an average price of $2.26 per share, which resulted in cash proceeds to the Company of $3,568,415.

The exercise prices of options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted options to purchase 269,339 shares of common stock to employees and members of the Board of Directors with a grant date fair value of $652,360 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) volatility rates of 117% to 119%, (ii) discount rates of 0.38% to 1.28%, (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected life of 6 years. The options have an exercise price of $1.61 to $3.95 per share. 67,558 of the options will vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 135,113 options will vest on monthly basis over two years. Options for 66,668 shares vest ratably over three years. As part of their annual compensation for service on the Board of Directors, each of the four non-officer directors receives annual stock option grant for 16,333 shares of the Company’s common stock on the earlier of the annual meeting of stockholders or June 30. The option shall vest and become exercisable in eight equal installments on the last day of each of the subsequent eight calendar quarter-end dates following the date of grant.

The volatility of the Company’s common stock is based on an average volatility of similar companies in the same industry. 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 contract.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized stock-compensation expense related to the fair value of vested stock options of $389,224 and $(940,936), respectively, which was recorded in general and administrative expense.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had an aggregate of 472,131 remaining unvested options outstanding, with a remaining fair value of $715,836, with a weighted average remaining life of 9.31 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2021 was $19,208.

Restricted Common Stock

In January 2021, the Company granted 152,671 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The shares vest on the first anniversary of the award. If the CEO’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, any shares not then vested will be forfeited. Also effective in January 2021, the Company granted 41,667 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant for services, with 4,167 of the shares vesting immediately and the balance of 37,500 shares vesting through August 15, 2021. In the event the consultant’s service with the Company terminates, any shares not then vested will be forfeited. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021 the Company granted 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with vesting terms to the Company’s Chief Commercial Officer. The shares vest one third per year for three years on the anniversary of the award.

The total fair value of the 244,338 shares was determined to be $742,912 based on the price per shares of the Company’s common stock on the dates granted. The Company accounts for the share awards using the straight-line attribution or graded vesting method over the requisite service period provided that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date is no less than the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, total share-based expense recognized related to vested restricted shares totaled $365,295. At June 30, 2021, there was $1,035,796 of unvested compensation related to these awards that will be amortized over a remaining vesting period of 3.3 years.

12. Segment Reporting

The Company determined its reporting units in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”. The Company currently operates in two reportable segments: Clinical Nutrition and Diagnostics Equipment.

The Clinical Nutrition segment provides a portfolio of science-based, clinically supported nutrition, medical foods, and supplements. The Diagnostics Equipment segment includes a portfolio of medical diagnostic devices currently focused on the ocular space and contrast testing. The Company’s diagnostics equipment and accessories are used to measure visual function and certain anatomical features of the eye that detect early disease and monitor changes over time.

The segments are based on the discrete financial information reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), to make resource allocation decisions and to evaluate performance. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they manufacture and distribute distinct products or provide services with different processes. All reported segment revenues are derived from external customers.

The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). Certain corporate general and administrative expenses, including general overhead functions such as information systems, accounting, human resources, Board of Director fees, corporate legal fees, other compliance costs and certain administrative expenses, as well as interest and tax expense, are not allocated to the segments.
