ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OUR BUSINESS

KORU Medical designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices, primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management. Our development and marketing focus is primarily concentrated on our mechanical infusion products, the FREEDOM Infusion Systems (which we refer to as the “FREEDOM System” when used with one or more accessories), which include the FREEDOM60® Syringe Driver, the FreedomEdge® Syringe Driver, HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets™ and Precision Flow Rate Tubing™.

Our revenues derive from three business sources: (i) domestic core, (ii) international core, and (iii) novel therapies. Our core domestic and international revenues consist of sales of our products for the delivery of subcutaneous immunoglobulin (“SCIg”) to treat Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (“PIDD”), Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”), and other disease states that are FDA cleared for use with the KORU Medical syringe driver. Novel therapies consist of product revenues related to the sales of our infusion system (syringe drivers, tubing and needles) for feasibility/clinical trials (pre-clinical studies, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III) of biopharmaceutical companies in the drug development process as well as non-recurring engineering services revenues received from biopharmaceutical companies to ready or customize the FREEDOM System for clinical and commercial use.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of patients around the world by delivering innovative, effective, and easy-to-use drug delivery systems that can be used at home or alternate site settings, for patient self-administration of drug therapy.

OUR STRATEGY

We plan to become the leading provider of solutions for subcutaneous large-volume infusions defined as greater than 10ml . We intend to accomplish this objective by increasing penetration of our core SCIg market and extending into new subcutaneous drug therapies.

- 1 -

We have identified multiple factors driving growth of the SCIg market. These include:

•	Increasing diagnoses of Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (“PIDD”), which often require Ig treatment

•	New on-label indications for SCIg drugs such as Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”), Secondary Immunodeficiencies (“SID”), and others in clinical development

•	Increase in the number of available SCIg medications such as the introduction of Cutaquig® and Xembify® in the United States and Europe, planned launches of Cuvitru® and HyQvia® in Japan, and others

•	Biopharmaceutical investment in SCIg products, such as prefilled syringe formats that make infusion easier for patients, which may make more patients eligible for SCIg therapy

•	Increasing supply of donated plasma, which increases the global supply of Ig medications

•	Favorable patient preference, side effect profile, and health economics for at-home SCIg compared with IVIg therapy

We intend to maintain and extend our leadership position in the SCIg market through clinical and product innovation and commercial excellence. By improving our products, establishing thought leadership in subcutaneous therapy, partnering with SCIg drug manufacturers, expanding geographically, and executing commercially we intend to increase our overall global share position and the number of patients prescribed SCIg.

Furthermore, we plan to expand into new therapies outside of SCIg. We estimate that at least 100 large-volume drugs are in clinical development utilizing subcutaneous infusion. The pipeline is driven by the need to deliver high therapeutic doses, difficulty in formulating large molecules into small volumes, patient preference for and superior economics of subcutaneous infusion over intravenous infusion, the COVID-19 pandemic causing pharmaceutical companies to shift development programs toward at-home SC therapy, and other factors. Biopharmaceutical manufacturers seek device partners during the drug development process. We intend to partner with them during clinical development—generating services revenues to prepare and customize our products for clinical use and regulatory clearance and product revenues by selling devices for evaluations and clinical use—and, subsequently, commercialization.

Our track record of regulatory clearance and successful patient use combined with our channel access position KORU to both maximize our growth in the core SCIG market and expand into new therapeutic areas.

OUR PRODUCTS

FREEDOM SYSTEM

The FREEDOM System comprises the FREEDOM60 Syringe Driver (standard 60/50ml syringe compatible) and FreedomEdge Syringe Driver (standard 30ml and 20ml syringe and prefilled syringe compatible), HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets and Precision Flow Rate Tubing. The systems are portable, easy to operate, maintenance free and do not require batteries or electricity. The FREEDOM System operates at a lower pressure than an electrical, volumetric pump and maintains a balance between what a patient’s subcutaneous tissues can absorb and what the system delivers, or what we refer to as DynEq®.

The FREEDOM System is cleared by the FDA for a wide range of flow rates and certain medications for subcutaneous and intravenous indications, including specific clearance for leading immune globulins Cutaquig ®, Cuvitru®, Hizentra®, and Xembify® and a variety of antibiotics. The FREEDOM System is the only infusion system specifically cleared for use with a prefilled syringe, the Hizentra® 20ml prefilled syringe.

Ambulatory infusion systems are most prevalent in the home care and alternate site markets. The use of the FREEDOM System for treatment of PIDD through SCIg administration continues to increase and remains the market leading delivery system in the U.S. for these infusions. There is an expanded indication for Hizentra® for patients with CIDP which is an acquired immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nervous system. It is expected that new SCIg drugs may enter the market. We believe the FREEDOM System is an ideal system for SCIg administration because:

•	the patient is able to self-administer in any location;
•	the system has less adverse events;
•	the pump is easily configured for this application;
•	it is the best value infusion system available in a heavily cost constrained market; and
•	it has demonstrated effectiveness and safety from millions of patient infusions.

- 2 -

HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets are a critical element of the FREEDOM System, are available in 26- and 24-gauge sizes and feature unique design elements specific to subcutaneous self-administration. One such feature includes a back-cut needle designed for more comfort and less tissue damage with flexible wings to minimize patient discomfort.

Precision Flow Rate Tubing is designed for repeatable flow rates without allowing unrestricted flow. The tubing regulates the flow rate and infusion time for various applications when used with the FREEDOM System. Each tubing set provides a different level of flow restriction and consistently delivers medication with low residual volume to minimize drug waste.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

The FREEDOM System is sold through both direct sales and medical device distributors to specialty pharmacy customers and home infusion providers. Our products are sold principally through a small number of distributors so our specialty pharmacy customers receive the benefit of remote inventory management and one-stop shopping. We sell the majority of our products through two distributors in the U.S. and two distributors outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2021, these four distributors comprised approximately 62% of our net revenues with one of our U.S. distributors contributing approximately 41%.

Specialty pharmacies, home infusion providers, and distributors are our primary call points, although we provide education and training materials to clinicians, patients and patient advocates both in the field and online.

MANUFACTURING AND RAW MATERIALS

We currently perform product assembly, calibration, pre- and post-assembly quality control inspection and testing, and final packaging for all of our products at our Chester, NY facility and expect to continue such activities for certain of our products at our newly leased facility in Mahwah, NJ commencing on or about June 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we entered into an agreement with Command Medical Products, Inc. (“Command”), to manufacture and supply the Company’s subassemblies, needle sets and tubing products for supply continuity and cost savings. We expect the transition to Command to be completed in July 2022.

Our ability to meet customer demand depends, in part, on our ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of components for our products. All of the components that go into the manufacturing of our products and accessories are sourced from third-party suppliers on a single source basis. We believe alternative sources of supply for all equivalent materials are available from other sources or can be produced by the Company, and the Company does not believe it is substantially dependent on any suppliers. The Company uses single-source suppliers in part due to governmental approval and validation requirements. A change in supplier, or the use of multiple suppliers of the same materials, often would necessitate additional approvals and validations, which the Company seeks to avoid unless and until the need arises. The Company does not have any contracts with suppliers that impose material binding obligations on the Company or provide the Company with any material rights or benefits, other than the agreement with Command.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

We recognize the importance of innovation to our long-term success and are committed to research and new product development activities. Our product development team along with outside engineering resources are engaged in continuously improving existing product performance and researching new product opportunities to enhance our product portfolio. We spent $2.5 million and $1.3 million on research and development for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We intend to make additional investments in research and development over the next twelve months.

REGULATORY

The FDA regulates, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacturing, approval, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, advertising, promotion and marketing, distribution, post approval monitoring and reporting and import and export of medical devices in the U.S. to assure the safety and effectiveness of medical products for their intended use. Thus, both before and after a product is commercially released, we have ongoing responsibilities under the FDA. For instance, all medical devices marketed in the U.S. must be manufactured in accordance with the FDA’s quality system regulations (“QSRs”). Accordingly, our facility and procedures and those of our suppliers are also subject to periodic inspections by the FDA to determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Federal Trade Commission also regulates the advertising of our products. Further, we are subject to laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse, which subject our sales and marketing, training and other practices to government scrutiny.

- 3 -

Our business is also affected by patient privacy laws and government payor cost containment initiatives, as well as environmental health and safety laws and regulations.

U.S. Device Classification and Clearance

Except where an exemption applies, each new or significantly modified medical device we seek to commercially distribute in the U.S. will require either a premarket notification to the FDA requesting permission for commercial distribution under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FFDCA”), also known as a 510(k) clearance, or approval of a pre-market approval (“PMA”) application. For example, the use of our FREEDOM System with therapies not covered by the existing FDA clearance will require additional 510(k) clearance or PMA approval.

Under the 510(k) process, applicants must demonstrate to the FDA that a device is as safe and effective as, or substantially equivalent to, a legally marketed device, known as the “predicate” device. Applicants must submit performance data to establish substantial equivalence. In some instances, data from human clinical trials must also be submitted in support of a 510(k), and these data must be collected in a manner that conforms to the applicable Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) regulations. The FDA must issue a substantial equivalence determination before commercial distribution can occur. Changes to cleared devices that will not significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device can generally be made without additional 510(k) submissions. Changes that will significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device will require a new 510(k) prior to marketing of the modified device. Notably, the FDA has announced its intention to pursue comprehensive reforms to its current 510(k) clearance pathway and to its post-market safety monitoring process. We cannot predict with any certainty how these reforms may impact our business. See “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.”

Under the PMA application process, the applicant must demonstrate that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. This approval process applies to most Class III devices, and generally requires clinical data to support the safety and effectiveness of the device, obtained in conformance with IDE regulations. The FDA will approve a PMA application if it finds that there is a reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended purpose, and that the proposed manufacturing is in compliance with the QSRs. For novel technologies, the FDA will seek input from an advisory panel of medical experts regarding the safety and effectiveness of, and their benefit-risk analysis for the device. The PMA process is generally more detailed, lengthier and more expensive than the 510(k) process, though both processes can be expensive and lengthy, and requires payment of significant user fees, unless an exemption is available.

We are also required to comply with the regulations of every other country where we commercialize products before we can launch or maintain new products on the market. Many countries that previously did not have medical device regulations, or had minimal regulations, are now introducing them.

International sales of medical devices manufactured in the U.S. that are not approved by the FDA for use in the U.S., or that are banned or deviate from lawful performance standards, are subject to FDA export requirements. Additionally, exported devices are subject to the regulatory requirements of each country to which the device is exported. Some countries do not have medical device regulations, but in most foreign countries, medical devices are regulated. Frequently, regulatory approval may first be obtained in a foreign country prior to application in the U.S. due to differing regulatory requirements; however, other countries require approval in the country of origin first. Most countries outside of the U.S. require that product approvals be recertified on a regular basis, generally every five years. The recertification process requires that we evaluate any device changes and any new regulations or standards relevant to the device and, where needed, conduct appropriate testing to document continued compliance. Where recertification applications are required, they must be approved in order to continue selling our products in those countries.

Post-Approval Regulation

Even after a device is cleared or approved by FDA for marketing, numerous regulatory requirements continue to apply. The FDA and other worldwide regulatory agencies and competent authorities actively monitor compliance to local laws and regulations through review and inspection of design and manufacturing practices, record-keeping, reporting of adverse events, labeling and promotional practices. The FDA can ban certain medical devices, detain or seize adulterated or misbranded medical devices, order repair, replacement or refund of these devices and require notification of health professionals and others with regard to medical devices that present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health. The FDA may also enjoin and restrain a company for certain violations of the FFDCA and the Safe Medical Devices Act pertaining to medical devices or initiate action for criminal prosecution of such violations. In addition, FDA and other governmental agencies such as the Department of Justice can take action against a company that promotes “off-label” uses. Regulatory agencies and authorities in the countries where we do business can halt production in or distribution within their respective country or otherwise take action in accordance with local laws and regulations. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict a company from effectively marketing and selling its products, may limit a company’s ability to obtain future premarket clearances or approvals, and could result in a substantial modification to a company’s business practices and operations.

- 4 -

Manufacturing Regulation

We must also comply with FDA and foreign agency regulations governing medical device manufacturing practices. The FDA and foreign agencies require manufacturers to register their establishments, and they monitor compliance with device manufacturing requirements through inspections of manufacturing facilities. If an investigator observes conditions that might be violative, the manufacturer must correct those conditions or explain them satisfactorily or face potential regulatory action that might include physical removal of the product from the marketplace. We are an FDA-registered medical device manufacturer and must demonstrate that we comply with the FDA’s QSR and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMPs”).

We believe that our products and procedures are in compliance with all applicable FDA and international regulations. There is no assurance, however, that other products we are developing or products that we may develop in the future will be cleared by the FDA and classified as Class II products, or that additional regulations restricting the sale of our present or proposed products will not be promulgated by the FDA or other foreign agencies. In addition, changes in FDA, or other federal or state health, environmental or safety regulations or their applications could adversely affect our business.

Other Healthcare Laws

We are subject to additional healthcare regulation and enforcement by the federal government and by authorities in the states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct our business. These laws include:

•	the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service for which payment may be made under federal healthcare programs, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation;

•	federal false claims laws which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid or other federal third-party payors that are false or fraudulent. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act;

•	the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law, which prohibits, among other things, offering or transferring remuneration to a federal healthcare beneficiary that a person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s decision to order or receive items or services reimbursable by the government from a particular provider or supplier;

•	federal criminal laws that prohibit executing a scheme to defraud any federal healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters;

•	the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, which governs the conduct of certain electronic healthcare transactions and protects the security and privacy of protected health information;

•	the federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act, which requires manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (with certain exceptions) to report annually to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) information related to payments or other “transfers of value” made to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors), certain health care professionals beginning in 2022, and teaching hospitals and ownership and investment interests held by the physicians described above and their immediate family members, and payments or other “transfers of value” to such physician owners; and

•	analogous state and foreign law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers; state laws that require pharmaceutical and device companies to comply with the industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the applicable compliance guidance promulgated by the federal government or otherwise restrict payments that may be made to healthcare providers and other potential referral sources; state laws that require device manufacturers to track and report information related to payments and other “transfers of value” to physicians and other healthcare providers or pricing, marketing expenditures and information; and state laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.

- 5 -

Violations of any of the laws described above include civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, the curtailment or restructuring of an entity’s operations, the debarment, suspension or exclusion from federal and state healthcare programs and/or imprisonment.

Coverage and Reimbursement

Our profitability and operations are subject to changes in legislative, regulatory and reimbursement policies and decisions as well as changes in private payer reimbursement coverage and payment decisions and policies. Our products are purchased by specialty pharmacies and ambulatory service providers or hospitals that typically bill various third-party payors, such as governmental programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, and comparable non-U.S. programs), private insurance plans and managed care plans, for the healthcare services and products provided to their patients. The ability of our customers to obtain appropriate coverage and reimbursement for our products and the drugs they administer is critical because it affects which products customers purchase and the price they are willing to pay. Third-party payors are increasingly reducing coverage and reimbursement for certain healthcare services and products and challenging prices charged for healthcare services and products.

Environmental Health and Safety Laws

We are required to comply with federal, state, and local environmental laws; however, there is no significant effect of compliance on capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We do not use significant amounts of hazardous materials in the assembly of our products.

COMPETITION AND THE MARKET

Competition for the FREEDOM System includes electronic (volumetric) pumps, elastomeric (“infuser”) pumps, and fully mechanical pumps as well as other types of pumps. Safety, ease of use, familiarity, cost effectiveness, accuracy, pressure, etc. are driving influencers of pump selection. Electronic pumps deliver drugs at a programmed flow rate. They are more costly and require electricity or batteries, extensive training and maintenance and must be programmed by a qualified pharmacist or clinician. Elastomeric pumps are one-time-use balloon type devices used for infusion of drugs in intravenous (“IV”) and surgical wound site applications. Pharmacies are required to fill them with drugs and deliver them to the patient. They are easy to use from the patient point of view but can be more costly and time consuming to fill, are temperature sensitive and have larger residual volumes than other delivery systems.

Competition for infusion devices for new drugs includes a variety of technologies and companies. No single technological approach—autoinjectors, electronic (volumetric pumps), mechanical pumps, needle-free injectors, on-body wearable pumps, pen injectors, and pre-filled syringes—will meet the needs of all or even a majority of drugs. For drugs requiring infusion volumes over 3 ml, the segment most similar to the SCIg drugs currently delivered by the FREEDOM System, the most relevant approaches include mechanical pumps, on-body wearable pumps, and simple electronic pumps. Challenges to their successful commercialization include high costs per infusion, increased environmental impact, complexity for users, and complex mechanisms with multiple failure modes.

HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2021, we had 77 full time employees and no part time employees. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 57% of the Company’s workforce was female and approximately 20% of the Company’s employees in managerial roles were female. Approximately 41% were minorities (non-White) in the Company workforce as of December 31, 2021. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement.

To help drive consistent execution of our business strategy, including our customer focused philosophy, and support their development, we provide training opportunities to our employees that align with their responsibilities over their career with us. We maintain a dedicated Internet-based learning platform with a broad portfolio of written, audio-visual and interactive enterprise-wide and discipline-specific policy and training materials. This platform includes a library of self-directed courses and virtual, instructor-led programs for employees at all levels of our organization. Managers and supervisors are provided training to help their employees progress in their professional development.

We believe our employees are key to achieving our business objectives. We have COVID-19 prevention protocols in place to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our workplace. These protocols, which remain in place, meet or exceed the Centers for Disease Control guidelines and where applicable, state mandates.

Our key human capital measures include employee safety, turnover, absenteeism and production. We frequently benchmark our compensation practices and benefits programs against those of comparable industries and in the geographic areas where our facilities are located. We believe that our compensation and employee benefits are competitive and allow us to attract and retain skilled and unskilled labor throughout our organization. Our notable health, welfare and retirement benefits include:

- 6 -

•	Company subsidized health insurance
•	401(k) Plan with Company matching contributions
•	Paid time off
•	Life and disability insurance

We strive to maintain an inclusive environment free from discrimination of any kind, including sexual or other discriminatory harassment. Our employees have multiple avenues available through which inappropriate behavior can be reported, including a confidential hotline. All reports of inappropriate behavior are promptly investigated with appropriate action taken to stop such behavior.

PATENTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We filed and received U.S. and foreign protection for many of our products relating to infusion systems and related components. We had one patent granted in the U.S. and eleven foreign patents granted outside the U.S. in 2021. As of December 31, 2021, we have six applications pending in the U.S. and 13 applications pending in foreign jurisdictions. Expiration dates for the entire patent portfolio range (US & Foreign) from 2022 to 2038. In some cases where it was no longer deemed economically beneficial, we have allowed certain patent and/or trademark protections to lapse. In addition, the patent application process for both the U.S. and foreign countries is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual issues that differ from country to country. Consequently, there can be no assurance that patent applications relating to products or technology will result in patents being granted or that, if issued, the patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. There can be no assurance that we will have the financial resources necessary to enforce any patent rights we may hold.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves significant risks. Before making an investment in our common stock, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC including the material risks and uncertainties that we have identified below. The risks and uncertainties identified below are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. If any of the material risks or uncertainties that we face were to occur, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. Please note that additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may adversely affect our business, operations, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Risks Related to Our Business

If we are unable to successfully introduce new products or fail to keep pace with advances in technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We need to successfully introduce new products to achieve our strategic business objectives. A significant element of our strategy is to increase revenue growth by investing in innovation and new product development, which will require substantial resources. Our successful product development will depend on many factors, including our ability to attract strong talent to lead our research and development efforts, properly anticipate and satisfy customer needs, adapt to new technologies, obtain regulatory concurrence on a timely basis, demonstrate satisfactory clinical results, manufacture products in an economical and timely manner, obtain appropriate intellectual property protection for our products, gain and maintain market acceptance of our products, and differentiate our products from those of our competitors. In addition, patents attained by others can preclude or delay our commercialization of a product. There can be no assurance that any products now in development or that we may seek to develop in the future will achieve technological feasibility, obtain regulatory concurrence or gain market acceptance. If we cannot successfully introduce new products or adapt to changing technologies, our products may become obsolete, and our revenue and profitability could suffer.

Our business depends on an adequate supply of drugs to be administered by our products.

Demand for our products depends on the availability of drugs to be administered by them. Currently, most of our products require immunoglobulin therapies that rely on blood plasma collection for drugs such as Hizentra® and Cuvitru®. Any disruption in the supply of these drugs for any reason, including contamination, could significantly adversely affect our business. The change of any drug indication by the FDA or comparable foreign governmental agencies could also result in decreased demand for our products. In addition, pharmaceutical companies and other competitors have or are developing alternative therapies for disease states that are deliverable without a medical device. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the collection of plasma, the source of the active ingredient of SCIg medications, which may limit the supply of these drugs. If there is not an adequate supply of drugs requiring administration by medical devices such as those provided by us or alternative therapies are developed, our sales may suffer and/or our products may become obsolete.

Our compliance with EU MDR regulations by May 2024 will require significant investment and, if we are not in compliance by that time, we will not be able to sell our products in the EU.

In the European Union (“EU”), we are required to comply with the new Medical Device Regulation (“MDR” or “EU MDR”) effective May 2021, which supersedes the prior Medical Device Directives. Medical devices which have a valid CE certificate to the current Medical Device Directives (issued before May 2021), as do all of our current products, can continue to be sold until May 2024 or until the CE certificate expires, whichever comes first, providing there are no significant changes as defined in Article 120 of EU MDR. The MDR was published in May 2017 with a 3-year transition period. That transition period was extended to May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CE mark required to sell medical devices in the EU is affixed following conformity assessment and either approval from an appointed independent notified body or through self-certification by the manufacturer. The selected pathway to CE marking is based on product risk classification. CE marking indicates conformity to the applicable essential requirements of the relevant Medical Device Directives and in the future to the general safety and performance requirements for the new MDR. The MDR will change multiple aspects of the existing regulatory framework for CE marking, such as increased clinical evidence requirements and other new requirements, including Unique Device Identification (“UDI”) as well as many other post-market obligations. MDR also significantly modifies and increases the compliance requirements for the industry and will require significant investment by us in the near future to implement.

If we are unable to comply with the MDR by May 2024, we will not be able to sell our products in the EU, which will materially impact our net revenues.

Interruption of our manufacturing operations, including due to transitioning to our new facility, could adversely affect our future revenues and operating income.

The FDA and other U. S. and non-U.S. government agencies regulate our manufacturing operations, which includes product assembly, calibration, pre- and post-assembly quality control inspection and testing, and final packaging for all of our products. Variations in the manufacturing process may result in production failures which could lead to launch delays, product shortage, unanticipated costs, lost revenues and damage to our reputation. A failure to identify and address manufacturing problems prior to the release of products to our customers may also result in a quality or safety issue that could result in a recall or other inability to sell our products.

Our products are currently manufactured and stored at our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility. Products are also stored in storage facilities in the local NY area. Loss or damage to our manufacturing and storage sites due to weather, vandalism, terrorism, a natural disaster, issues in our manufacturing process, equipment failure or other factors, could adversely affect our ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of products or otherwise deliver products to meet customer demand or contractual requirements which may result in a loss of revenue and other adverse business consequences, including damage to our relationship with customers.

We take precautions to safeguard our facility and storage site, including acquiring insurance, adopting health and safety protocols and utilizing off-site storage of computer data. Our insurance may not cover our losses in any particular case. In addition, regardless of the level of insurance coverage, damage to our facilities may harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business has been and could continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue affecting economies and businesses around the world. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it may impact our employees and business operations. While we did not incur significant manufacturing disruptions during 2021 from the COVID-19 pandemic, customer purchasing patterns and clinical trial activity have been less predictable. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the rate of diagnosis of many conditions due to fewer infections causing patients to seek diagnosis, reduced access to healthcare professionals, and other factors including conditions treated by SCIg using the FREEDOM infusion system. We also believe COVID-19 has precipitated limited availability and rising costs of raw materials and labor, which may impact our financial results if current trends continue. We may experience disruptions that could severely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our future operating results and financial condition due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the geographic spread of the pandemic, the severity of the virus, the impact of the virus directly on our employees or those of our suppliers, the duration of the outbreak, governmental actions, travel restrictions and social distancing, business closures or business disruptions (including those impacting our supply chain), delays in clinical trials, the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease, the availability of plasma and drugs that are administered by our products, the number of new prescriptions for PIDD and CIDP, purchasing patterns of customers in response to the pandemic, changes to our operations, or whether the United States and additional countries are required to move to complete lock-down status, among others. Our sales representatives are unable to hold in-person meetings with customers and health care providers to discuss our products, which may further impact our sales. As local jurisdictions continue to put restrictions in place, our ability to continue to manufacture our products may also be limited. Such events may result in a period of business and manufacturing disruption, and in reduced operations, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The health of our workforce and our ability to meet staffing needs at our facility cannot be predicted and is vital to our operations. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve. Further, the spread of COVID-19, which has caused a broad impact globally, may materially affect us economically. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, it has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, which could reduce our ability to access capital, negatively affecting our liquidity. In addition, the recession resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. The ultimate long-term impact of COVID-19 is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.

We may be unable to compete successfully in our highly competitive industry.

We operate in a single market – ambulatory infusion – and are dependent upon our success in that market. We face competition in our market from a wide range of international and domestic companies, including those that deliver electronic volumetric pumps, elastomeric infuser pumps and other mechanical devices. These include large medical device companies with multiple product lines, some of which may have greater financial and marketing resources than we do. We also face competition from companies that are even more specialized than ours with respect to particular markets or product lines. Some of those companies have greater financial and sales and marketing resources than we do or offer products at a lower price point than ours. In addition, former employees may develop products that are competitive with ours or capitalize on customer relationships developed while employed with us, subject to their continuing obligations under confidentiality agreements and other restrictive covenants that may survive their employment. We face competition on the basis of product features, clinical or economic outcomes, product quality, availability, price, services, technological innovation and other factors. In addition, we face changing customer preferences and requirements, changes in the ways health care services are delivered, including the transition of high-acuity care to lower-acuity, and non-acute care settings.

- 9 -

Competition may increase further as additional companies begin to enter our market or modify their existing products to compete directly with ours. If we are forced to reduce our prices due to increased competition, our business could suffer.

The medical technology industry has also experienced a significant amount of consolidation, resulting in larger companies with greater access to markets. Health care systems, other health care companies and even retail pharmacies are also consolidating, resulting in greater purchasing power for these companies. As a result, competition among medical device suppliers to provide goods and services has increased. Group purchasing organizations and integrated health delivery networks have also served to concentrate purchasing decisions for some customers, which has led to downward pricing pressure for medical device suppliers. Further consolidation in the industry could intensify competition among medical device suppliers and exert additional pressure on the prices of our products.

Consolidation in the medical industry could have a negative impact with payor and provider relationships and distributor relationships, as we could lose market share as consolidation occurs.

Technological developments by others may disrupt our business and negatively impact our revenues.

The medical device industry is subject to rapid technological change and discovery and frequent product introductions. The development of new or improved products, processes or technologies by other companies that provide better features, pricing or clinical outcomes or economic value may render our products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive. If our competitors respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or we do not introduce new versions or upgrades to our product portfolio in response to those requirements, our products may not be marketable. If competitors develop more effective or affordable products or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization for new products than we do, our operations will likely be adversely affected.

We are subject to costly and complex laws and governmental regulations and any adverse regulatory action may materially adversely affect our financial condition and business operations.

Our medical devices and technologies, as well as our business activities, are subject to a complex set of regulations and rigorous enforcement, principally by the FDA, and numerous other federal, state, and non-U.S. governmental authorities. To varying degrees, each of these agencies requires us to comply with laws and regulations governing the design, development, and manufacturing; testing, labeling, content and language of instructions for use and storage; clinical trials; product safety; establishment registration and device listing; marketing, promotion, and distribution of our products; premarket clearance and approval; record keeping procedures; advertising and promotion; recalls and field safety corrective actions; post-market surveillance, including reporting of deaths or serious injuries and malfunctions that, if they were to recur, could lead to death or serious injury; post-market approval studies; and product import and export.

In the U.S., our device products are subject to clearance or approval by FDA under the FFDCA. Before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, new claim for, or significant modification to, an existing product, we must first receive either 510(k) clearance or approval of a PMA application from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. Under the 510(k) process, the manufacturer must submit to the FDA a premarket notification, demonstrating that the device is “substantially equivalent,” as defined in the statute, to a legally marketed predicate device. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. If the manufacturer is unable to demonstrate substantial equivalence to FDA’s satisfaction, or if there is no available predicate device, then the manufacturer may be required to seek approval through the PMA application process, which is generally more costly and time consuming than the 510(k) process. Through the PMA application process, the applicant must submit data and information demonstrating reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use. Accordingly, a PMA application typically includes, but is not limited to, extensive technical information regarding device design and development, pre-clinical and clinical trial data, manufacturing information, labeling and financial disclosure information for the clinical investigators in device studies.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain FDA 510(k) clearance or premarket approval for our new products or enhancements or modifications to existing products (including the use of our FREEDOM System with therapies not covered by the existing FDA clearance), and the failure to maintain approvals or clearances, or obtain approval or clearance could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Even if we are able to obtain approval or clearance, it may:

•	take a significant amount of time
•	require the expenditure of substantial resources
•	involve stringent clinical and pre-clinical testing, as well as increased post-market surveillance
•	involve modifications, repairs, or replacements of our products, and
•	limit the proposed uses of our products.

- 10 -

Both before and after a product is commercially released, we have ongoing responsibilities under the FDA and other applicable non-U.S. government agency laws and regulations. The FDA and other worldwide regulatory agencies actively monitor compliance with local laws and regulations through review and inspection of design and manufacturing practices, recordkeeping, reporting of adverse events, labeling and promotional practices. The results of these inspections can include inspectional observations on the FDA’s Form 483, warning letters, or other forms of enforcement. If the FDA, state or foreign regulatory authorities were to conclude that we are not in compliance with any applicable laws or regulations, or that any of our medical products are ineffective or pose an unreasonable health risk, they could deem our products adulterated or misbranded, and take enforcement action against us. FDA, state and foreign regulatory authorities have broad enforcement powers. Possible enforcement actions include, but are not limited to: temporarily or permanently suspending the sale and/or distribution of such medical products; detaining or seizing all adulterated or misbranded medical products; ordering recall, repair, replacement, or refund of such products; refusing to grant pending pre-market approval or 510(k) clearance applications; and/or requiring us to notify health professionals and others that the devices present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health. In addition, the FDA prohibits device manufacturers from promoting their products for uses and indications other than those set forth in the approved product labeling, and failure to comply with this prohibition could subject us to significant civil or criminal exposure, administrative obligations and costs, and/or other potential penalties from, and/or agreements with, the federal government. The FDA and other non-U.S. government agencies may also assess civil or criminal penalties against us, our officers or employees and impose operating restrictions on a company-wide basis. The FDA may also recommend prosecution to the U.S. Department of Justice. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict us from effectively marketing and selling our products and limit our ability to obtain future pre-market clearances or approvals, and could result in a substantial modification to our business practices and operations.

Regulations regarding the development, manufacture and sale of medical devices are evolving and subject to future change and have tended to become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to continue or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs, or lower than anticipated sales. We cannot predict what impact, if any, those changes might have on our business; however, failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or manufacturer could result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances or approvals, seizures or recalls of products, physician advisories or other field actions, operating restrictions and/or criminal prosecution. We may also initiate field actions as a result of a failure to strictly comply with our internal quality policies. The failure to receive product approval clearance on a timely basis, suspensions of regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products, physician advisories or other field actions, or the withdrawal of product approval by the FDA or by comparable agencies in foreign countries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Governmental regulations outside the U.S. have also, and may continue to, become increasingly stringent and common. In the EU, for example, a new MDR was published in 2017 which, when it enters into full force in May 2021, will include significant additional premarket and post-market requirements. Penalties for regulatory non-compliance could be severe, including fines and revocation or suspension of a company’s EU device approval, ability to distribute products and criminal sanctions. Future foreign governmental laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on us.

In addition, exported devices are subject to the regulatory requirements of each country to which the device is exported. Some countries do not have medical device regulations, but in most foreign countries, medical devices are regulated. Frequently, regulatory approval may first be obtained in a foreign country prior to application in the U.S. due to differing regulatory requirements; however, other countries, such as China for example, require approval in the country of origin or legal manufacturer first. Most countries outside of the U.S. require that product approvals be renewed or recertified on a regular basis, generally every four to five years. The renewal or recertification process requires that we evaluate any device changes and any new regulations or standards relevant to the device and conduct appropriate testing to document continued compliance. Where renewal or recertification applications are required, they may need to be renewed and/or approved in order to continue selling our products in those countries. There can be no assurance that we will receive the required approvals for new products or modifications to existing products on a timely basis or that any approval will not be subsequently withdrawn or conditioned upon extensive post market study requirements.

Our global regulatory environment is becoming increasingly stringent and unpredictable, which could increase the time, cost and complexity of obtaining regulatory approvals for our products, as well as the clinical and regulatory costs of supporting those approvals. Several countries that did not have regulatory requirements for medical devices have established such requirements in recent years and other countries have expanded on existing regulations. Certain regulators are exhibiting less flexibility and are requiring local preclinical and clinical data in addition to global data. While harmonization of global regulations has been pursued, requirements continue to differ significantly among countries. In the United Kingdom, for example, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for regulating the UK medical device market. With recent changes in the United Kingdom’s membership with the European Union, the MHRA has and will continue to impose new regulatory obligations becoming effective in 2021 through 2023, for medical device manufacturers. We expect this global regulatory environment will continue to evolve, which could impact our ability to obtain future approvals for our products or could increase the cost and time to obtain such approvals in the future.

- 11 -

Our business and financial results may be materially adversely affected if our facility is not ready for manufacturing when the lease on our current facility expires in December 2022.

The lease on our current corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility expires in December 2022. We have entered into a lease for a new facility for our operations, and we expect to complete our move into that facility in June 2022. If we are unable to establish continuous manufacturing operations in our new facility before our existing lease expires, our revenues will suffer. We may not be able to establish such operations before our existing lease expires due to a number of factors, including delays in construction caused by raw materials, labor shortages and unforeseen complications; delays in receiving necessary regulatory approvals from U.S. and international authorities; unexpected manufacturing quality issues; inability to hire or retain necessary personnel; and other unforeseen circumstances. We have begun building our product inventory and expect to continue to do so through the second quarter of 2022, in order to ensure we can continue to service our customers in the event we are unable to maintain continuous manufacturing operations. Additionally, we have established Command as an alternate source of manufacturing as needed for continuity.

Proposed changes to the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway and post-market safety monitoring process could adversely affect our ability to offer our new and existing products.

As discussed above, the FDA’s and other regulatory authorities’ policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval of our product candidates. In addition, the FDA may change its clearance and approval policies, adopt additional regulations or revise existing regulations, or take other actions which may prevent or delay approval or clearance of our future products under development.

In fact, the FDA has announced its intention to pursue comprehensive reforms to its current 510(k) clearance pathway, which is used for clearance of low- to moderate-risk devices that are substantially equivalent to a device already on the market, and to its post-market safety monitoring process. In May 2019, the FDA solicited public feedback on its plans to develop proposals to drive manufacturers utilizing the 510(k) pathway toward the use of newer predicates, including whether the FDA should publish a list of devices that have been cleared on the basis of demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices that are more than 10 years old. The FDA sought input on whether it should consider certain actions, such as whether to sunset certain older devices that were used as predicates under the 510(k)-clearance pathway. These proposals have not yet been finalized or adopted, and the FDA may work with Congress to implement such proposals through legislation. Accordingly, it is unclear the extent to which any proposals, if adopted, could impose additional regulatory requirements on us that could delay our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances, increase the costs of compliance, or restrict our ability to maintain our current clearances, or otherwise create competition that may negatively affect our business.

In September 2019, the FDA finalized a guidance to describe an optional “safety and performance based” premarket review pathway for manufacturers of “certain, well-understood device types” to demonstrate substantial equivalence under the 510(k) clearance pathway, by demonstrating that such device meets objective safety and performance criteria established by the FDA, obviating the need for manufacturers to compare the safety and performance of their medical devices to specific predicate devices in the clearance process. The FDA intends to maintain a list of device types appropriate for the “safety and performance-based pathway” and develop product-specific guidance documents that identify the performance criteria for each such device type, as well as the testing methods recommended in the guidance, where feasible. The FDA may establish performance criteria for classes of devices for which we or our competitors seek or currently have received clearance. It is unclear the extent to which such performance standards, if established, could impact our ability to obtain new 510(k) clearances or otherwise create competition that may negatively affect our business.

These reforms could delay or prevent us from obtaining or maintaining 510(k) clearances or other premarket authorizations for our existing or new devices. Compliance with the new rules could require us to undertake significant additional costs prior to and following commercialization of our products, which may reduce the profitability of those products.

In addition, FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDA in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. Any new statutes, regulations or revisions or reinterpretations of existing regulations may impose additional costs or lengthen review times of any future products or make it more difficult to obtain clearance or approval for, manufacture, market or distribute our products. We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, statutes, legal interpretation or policies, when and if promulgated, enacted or adopted may have on our business in the future. Such changes could, among other things, require: additional testing prior to obtaining clearance or approval; changes to manufacturing methods; recall, replacement or discontinuance of our products; or additional record keeping.

- 12 -

Health care policy changes and industry cost-containment measures could result in downward pricing pressure for our products and limit our sales.

Most of our customers, and those to whom our customers supply medical devices, rely on third-party payers, including government programs and private health insurance plans, to reimburse some or all the cost of the medical devices we manufacture. The continuing efforts of governmental authorities, insurance companies and other payers of health care costs to contain or reduce these costs and, more generally, to reform the health care system, could limit the prices we are able to charge for our products or the amounts of reimbursement available for our products or the drugs that they administer, which would put pressure on us to reduce our prices for our products and/or limit our sales. The adoption of some or all of these proposals could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Issues with product quality could have an adverse effect upon our business, subject us to regulatory actions, cause a loss of customer confidence in us or our products, among other negative consequences.

Quality management plays an essential role in determining and meeting customer requirements, preventing defects, improving our products and services, and assuring the safety and efficacy of our products. Our future success depends on our ability to maintain and continuously improve our quality management program. While we have a quality system that covers the lifecycle of our products, quality and safety issues may occur with respect to any of our products. A quality or safety issue may result in adverse inspection reports, voluntary or official action indicated, warning letters, import bans, product recalls (either voluntary or required by the FDA or

similar governmental authorities in other countries) or seizures, monetary sanctions, injunctions to halt manufacture and distribution of products, civil or criminal sanctions, costly litigation, refusal of a government to grant approvals and licenses, restrictions on operations or withdrawal of existing approvals and licenses. An inability to address a quality or safety issue in an effective and timely manner may also cause negative publicity, a loss of customer confidence in us or our current or future products, which may result in the loss of sales and difficulty in successfully launching new products.

Defects or quality issues associated with our products could adversely affect the results of our operations.

The design, manufacture and marketing of medical devices involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, component failures, unapproved or improper use of our products, or inadequate disclosure of risks or other information relating to the use of our products can lead to injury or other serious adverse events. We are subject to the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations and similar foreign regulations, which require us to report to the FDA when we receive or become aware of information that reasonably suggests that one or more of our products may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur, it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. The timing of our obligation to report is triggered by the date we become aware of the adverse event as well as the nature of the event. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA could take action, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearances or approvals, seizure of our products, or delay in clearance or approval of future products.

These adverse events could also lead to safety alerts relating to our products or recalls (either voluntary or as required by the FDA or similar governmental authorities in other countries), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market. A recall could result in significant costs and lost sales and customers, enforcement actions and/or investigations by state and federal governments or other enforcement bodies, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce future demand for our products. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending ourselves in a lawsuit, will require the dedication of our time and capital, distract management from operating our business and may harm our reputation and financial results.

Personal injuries relating to the use of our products can also result in significant product liability claims being brought against us. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or outcome, could not only result in significant legal defense costs, but also have a material adverse effect on our business and reputation and ability to attract and retain customers for our products. In some circumstances, adverse events could also cause delays in regulatory approval of new products or the imposition of post-market approval requirements.

- 13 -

We are subject to lawsuits.

We have been and may be party to lawsuits, settlement discussions, mediations, arbitrations and other disputes, including patent and product liability claims, whether brought by companies, individuals or governmental authorities. These matters may result in a loss of patent protection, reduced revenue, incurrence of significant liabilities and diversion of our management’s time, attention and resources. Our insurance coverage may not provide adequate protection against actual losses. In addition, we are subject to the risk that one or more of our insurers may become insolvent and become unable to pay claims that may be made in the future. Even if we maintain adequate insurance, claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and on our ability to obtain suitable, adequate or cost-effective insurance in the future. Litigation and other disputes, including any adverse outcomes, may have an adverse impact on our business, operations or financial condition. Even claims without merit could subject us to adverse publicity and require us to incur significant legal fees.

If we are unable to protect our patents or other proprietary rights, or if we infringe the patents or other proprietary rights of others, our competitiveness and business prospects may be materially damaged.

Patent and other proprietary rights are essential to our business. We own patents, trade secrets, trademarks and/or other intellectual property rights related to many of our products. Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to obtain and enforce patents, both in the U.S. and in other countries. We can lose the protection afforded by these intellectual property assets through patent expirations, legal challenges or governmental action. Additionally, our intellectual property rights may be challenged or infringed upon by third parties, particularly in countries where property rights are not highly developed or protected, or we may be unable to enter into license agreements with third-party owners of intellectual property on reasonable terms. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights or inability to preserve existing intellectual property rights could adversely impact our competitive position and results of operations.

The patent position of a medical device company is often uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. Significant litigation concerning patents and products is pervasive in our industry. Patent claims include challenges to the coverage and validity of our patents on products or processes as well as allegations that our products infringe patents held by competitors or other third parties. A loss in any of these types of cases could result in a loss of patent protection or the ability to market products, which could lead to a significant loss of sales, or otherwise materially affect future results of operations. We also rely on trademarks, trade secrets and know-how to develop, maintain and strengthen our competitive positions. Third parties may know, discover or independently develop equivalent proprietary information or techniques, or they may gain access to our trade secrets or disclose our trade secrets to the public.

Although our employees, consultants, parties to collaboration agreements and other business partners are generally subject to confidentiality or similar agreements to protect our confidential and proprietary information, these agreements may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies in the event of a breach of confidence. To the extent that our employees, consultants, parties to collaboration agreements and other business partners use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.

Furthermore, our intellectual property, other proprietary technology and other sensitive company data is potentially vulnerable to loss, damage or misappropriation from system malfunction, computer viruses, unauthorized access to our data or misappropriation or misuse thereof by those with permitted access and other events. While we have invested to protect our intellectual property, confidential information and other data, and continue to work diligently in this area, there can be no assurance that our precautionary measures will prevent breakdowns, breaches, cyber incidents or other events. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Misappropriation or other loss of our intellectual property from any of the foregoing would have an adverse effect on our competitive position and may cause us to incur substantial litigation costs.

We need to attract and retain key employees to be competitive.

Our ability to compete effectively depends upon our ability to attract and retain executives and other key employees, including people in technical, marketing, sales, research and development, quality assurance and regulatory compliance positions. We depend on key management personnel and attracting and retaining other qualified personnel, and our business could be harmed if we lose key management personnel or cannot attract and retain other qualified personnel. We do not maintain any “key man” insurance policies on the lives of any of our employees.

- 14 -

In addition, if we expect to grow our operations, it will be necessary for us to attract and retain additional qualified personnel. In particular, we will need to find experienced key employees to lead our research and development and operations functions. The failure to attract, integrate, motivate, and retain additional skilled and qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business. We compete for such personnel against numerous companies, including larger, more established companies with significantly greater financial resources than we possess. Our ability to recruit such talent will depend on a number of factors, including compensation and benefits, work location and work environment. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting or retaining such personnel and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We sell a majority of our products through only a few distributors on whom we depend, and our financial results depend on their purchasing patterns.

Most of our customers prefer to purchase our products through distributors, rather than directly from us, because of “one-stop shopping” convenience and their ability to ship directly to patients. We sell most of our products through a small number of distributors, two in the U.S. and two outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2021, these four distributors comprised approximately 62% of our net revenues with one U.S. distributor contributing 41%. Purchasing patterns by these distributors cannot always be predicted and fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year based on, among other things, their expectations of customer demand. Any decline in business with the distributors outside the U.S. could have an adverse impact on our business. If we were unable to sell through the distributors outside the U.S., we would have to find other distributors or broaden our customer base and expand direct relationships with customers. Other distributors may not be available or may not agree to arrangements that are commercially reasonable. In the U.S. we could transition to direct customer purchase; however, customers may not want to purchase directly from us and may decide to purchase competitors’ products through their distributors. Moreover, a transition from distributors to direct customer purchase would be time consuming and costly.

We and our customers are subject to extensive regulation by governments around the world, and if these regulations are not complied with, existing and future operations may be curtailed, and we could be subject to liability.

Our devices and our customers’ drug-device combination products, and/or compatible products, that may utilize our device are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States, Europe and other countries, including the FDA. Not only do these regulations present challenges during the regulatory approval process, but after our devices or our customers’ drug-device combination products, and/or compatible products, that may utilize our device are approved for new indications and placed in the market, numerous regulatory requirements will apply. These include, but are not limited to QSR, labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or “off label” uses, medical device reporting regulations and post-market surveillance regulations, and laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, advertising, marketing and distribution of medical devices, including our devices and our customers’ drug-device combination products, and/or compatible products, that may utilize our device. The FDA has broad post-market and regulatory enforcement powers.

In the European Union (“EU”), we are required to comply with the new Medical Device Regulation (“MDR” or “EU MDR”) effective May 2021, which will supersedes the prior Medical Device Directives. Medical devices which have a valid CE certificate to the current Medical Device Directives (issued before May 2021) can continue to be sold until May 2024 or until the CE certificate expires, whichever comes first, providing there are no significant changes as defined in Article 120 of EU MDR. The MDR was published in May 2017 with a 3-year transition period. That transition period was extended to May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CE mark required to sell medical devices in the EU is affixed following conformity assessment and either approval from an appointed independent notified body or through self-certification by the manufacturer. The selected pathway to CE marking is based on product risk classification. CE marking indicates conformity to the applicable essential requirements of the relevant Medical Device Directives and in the future to the general safety and performance requirements for the new MDR. The MDR will change multiple aspects of the existing regulatory framework for CE marking, such as increased clinical evidence requirements and other new requirements, including Unique Device Identification (“UDI”) as well as many other post-market obligations. MDR also significantly modifies and increases the compliance requirements for the industry and will require significant investment in the near future to implement.

If our devices are commercialized as part of a drug-delivery combination product we, as the manufacturer of the device component of that combination product, we are subject to unannounced and preapproval inspections by the FDA of our manufacturing facility to determine our compliance with QSR and cGMP.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in an enforcement action by the FDA or other regulatory authority, which may include any or all of the following sanctions: fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties, recall or seizure of our products or our customers’ drug-device combination products, operating restrictions, partial suspensions or total shutdown of production, refusing our customers’ requests for regulatory approvals of their drug-device combination products or new intended uses, as applicable, refusing our requests for regulatory approval of our devices, withdrawing our customers’ or our regulatory approvals that may be granted and criminal prosecution.

- 15 -

The therapeutic efficacy of certain of our customers’ drug-device combination products, and/or compatible products, that may utilize our device are either unproven in humans or has only been proven in limited circumstances, and we may not be able to successfully develop and sell our products in combination with our customers’ drug-or-drug-device combination products.

While some of our customers use our products with established, approved drugs, in certain instances, the benefits of those drugs as injectable therapies are either unproven or have only been proven in limited circumstances. Our ability to generate revenue from our products will depend heavily on the successful development, commercialization and sales of our customers’ drug products or drug-device combination products, which is subject to many potential risks. For example, data developed in clinical trials or following the commercialization of our customers’ drugs or drug-device combination products may show that such therapies do not prove to be effective treatments for the targets they are being designed to act against (or as effective as other treatments available). In clinical trials or following commercialization, it may be shown that those drugs interact with human biological systems in unforeseen, ineffective or harmful ways. If those drugs are associated with undesirable side effects or have characteristics that are unexpected, the pharmaceutical companies that make those drugs may need to abandon clinical development or discontinue commercial sales or limit clinical development or sales to certain uses or subpopulations in which the undesirable side effects or other characteristics are less prevalent, less severe or more acceptable from a risk-benefit perspective. As a result of these and other risks described herein that are inherent in the development and sale of therapeutic agents, pharmaceutical companies may never successfully develop or successfully commercialize their drugs, or the commercialization of their drugs may be abandoned or severely limited, which may limit our profitability with respect to customers with drugs or drug-device combination products including those drugs and our device, and we may not be successful in achieving commercial scale production and sales of our injectable drug delivery systems in combination with certain drugs.

Certain of the injectable therapies being targeted for use with our products are not approved but are in various phases of clinical development. These injectable therapies may be independently terminated by their makers prior to submission of a regulatory filing or even after regulatory approval, resulting in the cessation of any revenue associated with that contract or program.

We work with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies who are targeting the use of our products with a variety of injectable therapies. Certain of those injectable therapies are not FDA approved and are in various phases of clinical development. The clinical development of these pipeline therapies can be terminated by their developers at any stage. Furthermore, these pharmaceutical companies could obtain regulatory approval for their injectable therapies and decide for business reasons not to require or encourage utilization of our device. Prior investments we have made in manufacturing capacity or research and development will then not result in the generation of revenue that would have previously been anticipated.

Our commercial success depends upon the attainment of significant market acceptance of drug product candidates to be included in our customers’ drug-device combination and/or compatible products, that may utilize our device, if approved, among physicians, patients, healthcare payers or the medical community.

Even if pharmaceutical companies obtain regulatory approval for their drug product candidates, their product candidates may not gain sufficient levels of market acceptance among physicians, healthcare payers, patients or the medical community to make them commercially feasible. Market acceptance of our customers’ product candidates, if they receive approval, depends on a number of factors, including the:

•	efficacy and safety of the product candidates;
•	clinical indications for which the product candidates are approved;
•	acceptance by physicians, patients and the medical community of the product candidates as a safe and effective treatment;
•	potential and perceived advantages of the product candidates over alternative treatments;
•	safety of the product candidates seen in a broader patient group;
•	prevalence and severity of any side effects;
•	product labeling or product insert requirements of the FDA or other regulatory authorities;
•	timing of market introduction of the product candidates as well as competitive products;
•	cost of treatment in relation to alternative treatments;
•	availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement and pricing by third party payers and government authorities;
•	relative convenience and ease of administration; and
•	effectiveness of the pharmaceutical companies’ sales and marketing efforts.

If pharmaceutical companies’ candidates are approved but fail to achieve market acceptance among physicians, patients or healthcare payers, we may not be able to generate anticipated revenue. This may limit our ability to generate anticipated revenue from our prior investments. Moreover, even if we achieve commercial scale production and sales of our injectable drug delivery systems in combination with certain injectable therapies, the makers of such therapies may face indirect competition from companies who develop and market other brand name, biosimilar or generic injectable therapies as well as alternative treatments and delivery methods that compete with our customers’ drug-device combination products, and/or compatible products, that may utilize our device, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, our financial condition and/or cash flows.

- 16 -

Most brand name injectable therapies will face future competition from generic or biosimilar therapies, which could significantly reduce their commercial viability.

Brand name injectable therapies will usually become exposed to competition from generic or biosimilar rivals at some time after their regulatory approval and commercial launch. The average selling price and market share of brand name injectable therapies can be significantly diminished following the introduction of generic or biosimilar competition. These factors may result in our customers using our products with their brand name injectable therapies seeking to withdraw such injectable therapy from the market or change market tactics in a way that makes the use of our products cost prohibitive. This may result in reduction of revenues due to lower demand, termination of supply contracts, and other factors.

All of our components and raw materials are sourced from single suppliers. If we are unable to obtain sufficient components or raw materials on a timely basis or for a cost-effective price, or if we experience other supply difficulties, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our ability to meet customer demand depends, in part, on our ability to obtain timely and adequate delivery of raw materials and components for our products. All of the materials and components that go into the manufacturing of our products are single-sourced from third-party suppliers.

The price and supply of materials and components for our products may be impacted or disrupted for reasons beyond our control. While we work with suppliers to ensure continuity of supply, no assurance can be given that these efforts will be successful. Although we do carry strategic inventory and maintain insurance to help mitigate the potential risk related to any supply disruption, there can be no assurance that such measures will be sufficient or effective. The termination, reduction or interruption in supply of raw materials and components and an inability to quickly develop acceptable alternative sources for such supply, could adversely impact our ability to manufacture and sell our products in a timely or cost-effective manner.

We do not have long-term agreements in place with any of our suppliers, with the exception of a long-term agreement with our needle set subassembly supplier which we entered in 2020. Due to regulatory requirements relating to the qualification of suppliers, we are not likely to be able to establish additional or replacement sources on a timely basis or without excessive cost. We are in the process of establishing alternative sources of supply for our raw materials and components, but there can be no assurance we will be able to do so.

Additionally, Command manufactures and supplies the Company’s subassemblies, needle sets and tubing products in Nicaragua. There could be a delay in providing the products timely due to their climate and international boundaries.

Additionally, volatility in our cost of energy, raw materials, components, subassemblies, transportation/freight, and manufacturing and distribution could adversely affect our results of operations. Climate change (including laws or regulations passed in response to it) could increase our costs, in particular our costs of supply, energy and transportation/freight. Material or sustained increases in the price of oil and natural gas could have an adverse impact on the cost of many of the plastic materials we use to make and package our products, as well as our transportation/freight costs. These outcomes may in turn result in customers transitioning to available competitive products, loss of market share, negative publicity, reputational damage, loss of customer confidence or other negative consequences (including a decline in stock price).

Our failure to comply with laws and regulations relating to reimbursement of health care products may subject us to penalties and adversely impact our reputation, business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our devices are purchased principally by specialty pharmacies and ambulatory service providers or hospitals that typically bill various third-party payers, such as governmental programs (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid and comparable non-U.S. programs), private insurance plans and managed care plans, for the healthcare services provided to their patients. The ability of those customers to obtain appropriate reimbursement from third-party payers for our products and the drugs they administer is critical because it affects which products customers purchase and the prices they are willing to pay. As a result, our devices are subject to regulation regarding quality and cost by U.S. governmental agencies, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), as well as comparable state and non-U.S. agencies responsible for reimbursement and regulation of health care goods and services, including laws and regulations related to kickbacks, false claims, self-referrals and health care fraud. Many states have similar laws that apply to reimbursement by state Medicaid and other funded programs, and in some cases to all payers. In certain circumstances, insurance companies can attempt to bring a private cause of action against a manufacturer for causing a false claim to be filed under the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. In addition, as a manufacturer of FDA-approved devices reimbursable by federal healthcare programs, we are subject to the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires us to annually report certain payments and other transfers of value we make to U.S.-licensed physicians or U.S. teaching hospitals. Any failure to comply with these laws

and regulations could subject us or our officers and employees to criminal and civil financial penalties. Similar reporting requirements applicable to medical device manufacturers have also been implemented by some states. Failure to comply with these state requirements could result in civil monetary penalties being assessed against us.

- 17 -

These laws and regulations, among other things, constrain our business, marketing and other promotional activities by limiting the kinds of financial arrangements, including sales programs, we may have with hospitals, physicians or other potential purchasers of our products. Due to the breadth of these laws, the narrowness of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors available, and the range of interpretations to which they are subject, it is possible that some of our current or future practices might be challenged under one or more of these laws.

To enforce compliance with the healthcare regulatory laws, certain enforcement bodies have recently increased their scrutiny of interactions between healthcare companies and healthcare providers, which has led to a number of investigations, prosecutions, convictions and settlements in the healthcare industry. Responding to investigations can be time-and resource-consuming and can divert management’s attention from the business. Additionally, as a result of these investigations, healthcare providers and entities may have to agree to additional compliance and reporting requirements as part of a consent decree or corporate integrity agreement. Any such investigation or settlement could increase our costs or otherwise have an adverse effect on our business. Even an unsuccessful challenge or investigation into our practices could cause adverse publicity and be costly to respond to. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the healthcare laws or regulations described above or any other healthcare regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, imprisonment, contractual damages, reputational harm, disgorgement and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. In addition, we are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-corruption laws outside the U.S. Actual or alleged violation of these laws by our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors could subject us to investigations by the U.S. or foreign governments, significant criminal or civil sanctions and other liabilities, and damage our reputation.

We may need additional funding in the future, and if we are unable to raise capital when needed, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development, commercial efforts, or sales efforts.

Producing and marketing our developed products is costly. Although we believe we currently have adequate capital to fulfill our near-term funding needs, we may need to raise additional capital in the future in order to execute our business plan and help us fund the development and commercialization of new products. We raised approximately $26.6 million from the equity offering in 2020.

We may finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings and may also use debt financings or strategic collaboration and licensing arrangements. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience additional dilution; any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and could result in high interest expense. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may require us to relinquish certain enumerated rights to our product candidates, processes, technologies, or development projects, or to enter into licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available from the foregoing sources, we may consider additional strategic financing options, or we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate our research or development and/or some of our commercialization efforts.

We may experience difficulties resulting from our evolving management structure and executive team.

We have made a number of changes to our management structure throughout the organization since July 2018 and have filled a number of these positions while we are actively recruiting to fill others. Although, we believe the persons who currently and will serve in these positions are and will be qualified to do so, they may take time to integrate into the organization and with each other, if at all. Many of these persons have or will have had little to no experience with our company prior to joining us, which may result in delays in our ability to implement our business plans. If we are unable to integrate, motivate and retain the services of our new executives and other managers, or if integration takes longer than we expect, it may have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Changes in tax or labor laws or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could increase our costs and reduce our margins.

Changes to the tax and labor laws in the U.S. or other countries in which we operate could have an adverse effect on our operating results. Certain changes in tax rates, deductibility of interest, deductibility of executive compensation expense, expensing of capital expenditures, the ability to use certain tax credits, taxation on earnings from international business operations, and the system of taxation (from worldwide to territorial) could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Taxing authorities may audit us from time to time and disagree with certain positions we have taken in respect of our tax liabilities. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, we may not accurately predict the outcome of these audits, and as a result the actual outcome of these audits may have an adverse impact on our financial results.

- 18 -

Prior to the U.S. presidential election, President Biden proposed an increase in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%, the creation of a 10% penalty on certain imports and a 15% minimum tax on worldwide book income.

Our manufacturing operations depend on low-cost labor. Recent increases in U.S. minimum wage requirements, as well as those imposed by the state of New York and New Jersey will increase our costs for employees to support those operations, reduce our margins and negatively impact our profit.

A downturn in global economic conditions could adversely affect our operations.

Deterioration in the global economic environment, particularly in countries with government-sponsored healthcare systems, may cause decreased demand for our products and increased competition, which could result in lower sales volume and downward pressure on the prices for our products, longer sales cycles, and slower adoption of new technologies. A weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and/or abroad may also adversely affect our suppliers, which could result in interruptions in supply.

We are subject to foreign currency exchange risk.

A portion of our revenues is currently, and we expect in the future to be, derived from international operations. Our revenues from sales outside the U.S. may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We cannot predict with any certainty changes in foreign currency exchange rates or our ability to mitigate these risks. We may experience additional volatility as a result of inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic factors. If we cannot adequately mitigate foreign currency exchange rates, our revenues and profit may suffer.

Our distribution network and other operations outside the U.S. subject us to certain risks.

Approximately 17% of our net revenues in the year ended December 31, 2021, came from our operations outside the U.S., and we intend to continue to pursue growth opportunities in foreign markets. Our foreign operations subject us to certain risks, including, among others, the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange, uncertainties with respect to local economic and political conditions, competition from local companies, trade protectionism and restrictions on the transfer of goods across borders, U.S. diplomatic and trade relations with the governments of the foreign countries in which we operate, foreign regulatory requirements or changes in such requirements, local product preferences and product requirements, longer payment terms for accounts receivable than we experience in the U.S., difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations, changes to international trade agreements and treaties, changes in tax laws, weakening or loss of the protection of intellectual property rights in some countries, and import or export licensing requirements.

Brexit may impact our business in the United Kingdom.

One of our two most significant international distributors is located in the United Kingdom (“UK”), and the other is in Finland, a member of the European Union (“EU”). The June 2016 referendum result in the UK to exit the EU (commonly known as “Brexit”), and the subsequent commencement of the official withdrawal process by the UK government in March 2017, has created uncertainties affecting business operations in the UK and the EU. On January 31, 2020, the UK withdrew from the EU. Under the withdrawal agreement agreed between the UK and the EU, the UK was subject to a transition period until December 31, 2020 (the “Transition Period”) during which EU rules continued to apply. During the Transition Period, negotiations between the UK and the EU continued in relation to the future customs and trading relationship between the UK and the EU following the expiration of the Transition Period. Due to the current COVID-19 global pandemic, negotiations between the UK and the EU scheduled have either been postponed or occurred in a reduced forum via video conference. However, on December 24, 2020, the negotiators from the EU and UK reached an agreement on a new partnership. This agreement sets out the rules that apply between the EU and the UK as of January 1, 2021. New regulations require medical device registration with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA") before being placed on the Great Britain market (England, Wales, and Scotland). Additionally, all medical devices will require a UK Conformity Assessed mark (“UKCA”) by July 1, 2023. CE marks issued by Notified Bodies will remain valid until this time. Therefore, we must be compliant with applicable legislation in order to identify our devices with the UKCA mark and continue to market and sell our devices in Great Britain beyond July 1, 2023.

We are dependent on information technology systems and subject to privacy and security laws, and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including from cyber security breaches and data leakage.

Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems, and those of third parties on which we rely, are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, malware, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the Internet, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization. While we do not believe that we have experienced any such system failure, accident, or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our systems, it could result in a material disruption of our operations. To the extent that any disruption or security breach results in a loss of or damage to our data or applications or other data

- 19 -

or applications relating to our technology, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liabilities, damage to our reputation, and the further development of our product candidates could be delayed. Additionally, such disruptions and security breaches, when there is a risk of patient harm, may require devices changes to fix vulnerabilities and strengthen cybersecurity. Such changes could, in some cases, require reporting to and approval by the FDA prior to implementation, which could cause a delay in the continued marketing of the underlying product that will result in a loss of revenues to us. Furthermore, failure to adhere to good cybersecurity practices with regards to medical devices could result in enforcement action by the FDA including warning letters or other forms of enforcement.

We cannot guarantee that any of our strategic acquisitions, investments or alliances will be successful.

We may seek to supplement our internal growth through strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. Such transactions are inherently risky, and the integration of any newly acquired business requires significant effort and management attention. The success of any acquisition, investment or alliance may be affected by a number of factors, including our ability to properly assess and value the potential business opportunity or to successfully integrate any business we may acquire into our existing business. There can be no assurance that any past or future transaction will be successful.

Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate.

Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year for a number of reasons. Events such as a delay in product development, increases in litigation expenses, changes to our expectations or strategy or even a relatively small revenue shortfall may cause financial results for a period to be below our expectations or projections. As a result, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our operating results and financial condition are also subject to fluctuation from all of the risks described throughout this section. These fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions and our stock price.

Future material impairments in the value of our long-lived assets could negatively affect our operating results.

We review our long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, for impairment. Long-lived assets are reviewed when there is an indication or triggering event that impairment may have occurred. Changes in market conditions or other changes in the future outlook of value may lead to impairment charges in the future. In addition, we may from time to time sell assets that we determine are not critical to our strategy. Future events or decisions may lead to asset impairments and/or related charges. Certain non-cash impairments may result from a change in our strategic goals, business direction or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Material impairment charges could negatively affect our results of operations.

Actions of activist stockholders could have an adverse effect on our business.

From time to time, we may be subject to proposals by stockholders urging us to take certain corporate actions. If activist stockholder activities ensue, our business could be adversely affected because responding to proxy contests and reacting to other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations and divert the attention of management and our employees. For example, we may be required to retain the services of various professionals to advise us on activist stockholder matters, including legal, financial and communications advisors, the costs of which may negatively impact our future financial results. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, strategy or leadership created as a consequence of activist stockholder initiatives may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, harm our ability to attract new investors, customers, employees, and joint venture partners, and cause our stock price to experience periods of volatility or stagnation.

Natural disasters, war and other events could adversely affect our suppliers and customers.

Natural disasters (including pandemics), war, terrorism, labor disruptions and international conflicts, and actions taken by the U.S. and other governments or by our customers or suppliers in response to such events, could cause significant economic disruption and political and social instability in the U.S. and areas outside of the U.S. in which we operate. Most of our products are assembled and packaged in Nicaragua, where there is currently civil unrest whose outcome cannot be predicted. This and similar events could increase the costs for or cause interruptions in the supply of materials, result in decreased demand for our products or adversely affect our manufacturing and distribution capabilities.

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all the liabilities we may incur.

We face the risk of exposure to liability claims if any product that we develop causes injury. Although we carry insurance at levels customary for companies in our industry, such coverage may become unavailable or be inadequate to cover all liabilities we may incur. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to maintain such insurance, or obtain comparable insurance at a reasonable cost, if at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise, or if the amount of any claim against us exceeds the coverage under our policies, we may face significant expenses.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

There may be circumstances in which the interests of our significant stockholders could be in conflict with your interests as a stockholder.

Two stockholders, together with their respective affiliates, beneficially own approximately 24% and 13% of our outstanding common stock, respectively. An affiliate of Horton Freedom, L.P. currently serves on our Board of Directors. Circumstances may arise in which these stockholders may have an interest in exerting influence to pursue or prevent acquisitions, divestitures or other transactions, including the issuance of additional shares or debt, that, in their judgment, could enhance their investment in us or another company in which they invest. Such transactions might adversely affect us or other holders of our common stock. Furthermore, our significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in companies with significant stockholders.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to pay any dividends to holders of our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. Therefore, you are not likely to receive any dividends on your common stock for the foreseeable future.

Future sales and issuances of shares of our common stock or rights to purchase our common stock, including pursuant to our equity compensation plans, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders.

We may need additional capital in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity and/or convertible securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell our common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner, we determine from time to time. If we sell our common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted. These sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing stockholders.

We provide and intend to continue to provide additional equity-based compensation to our employees, directors and consultants. We have two equity compensation plans, under which a total of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance to our employees, including officers, consultants and directors, which number may be increased with the approval of our stockholders. We may issue equity-based compensation outside of our equity compensation plans as inducement for new employees. If our Board elects to issue additional stock options or other equity-based compensation, our stockholders may experience additional dilution, which could cause our stock price to decline. Because stock options granted under our equity compensation plans will generally only be exercised when the exercise price for such option is below the then market value of the common stock, the exercise of such options or the issuance of shares will cause dilution to the book value per share of our common stock and to existing and new investors.

There has been volatility in the price of shares of our common stock.

Since our common stock was listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 17, 2019, it has traded between $2.30 per share to $12.84 per share. Our stock price is subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including:

•	quarterly variations in operating results;
•	announcement of new products or customers by our competitors;
•	changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
•	trading volume on the Nasdaq Capital Market;
•	announcements related to litigation;
•	general economic conditions; or
•	other events or factors that are beyond our control.

In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many biotechnology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Any negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of medical device companies could further depress our stock price regardless of our results. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, particularly by our two most significant stockholders, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially in a short time and our stockholders could suffer losses or be unable to liquidate their holdings.

- 21 -

If we do not maintain compliance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq may delist our common stock from trading on its exchange.

The Nasdaq Capital Market on which our common stock trades has continued listing standards that we must maintain on an ongoing basis in order to continue the listing of our common stock. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our common stock may be subject to delisting. If our common stock is delisted and we are not able to list our common stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our common stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our common stock. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future, if or when needed.

We are a smaller reporting company and non-accelerated filer, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to us will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are currently a “smaller reporting company” and a “non-accelerated filer”, as those terms are defined in the Securities Act. Accordingly, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “smaller reporting companies” and “non-accelerated filers,” including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” and “non-accelerated filer” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

Our significant shareholders, officers and directors can sell their stock, which may have a negative effect on our stock price and ability to raise additional capital, and may make it difficult for investors to sell their stock at any price.

10% and 7% of our outstanding common stock held by two stockholders, respectively, are freely tradeable in the market pursuant to a resale registration statement. These stockholders purchased those shares at prices significantly lower than the price at which our common stock is currently trading. In the event either of these significant stockholders choose to sell a substantial portion of their holdings, the price of our common stock may decline suddenly and sharply. This may make it difficult or impossible for other investors to sell their stock at any price.

Our officers and directors beneficially own approximately 34% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2021. Each individual officer and director may be able to sell up to 1% of our outstanding common stock every ninety (90) days in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, which may have a negative effect on our stock price. In addition, if our officers and directors are selling their stock into the open market, it may make it difficult or impossible for investors to sell their stock at any price.

The price of our common stock may be adversely affected by the future issuance and sale of shares of our common stock or other equity securities.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of our common stock or other equity securities future acquisitions or capital raising activities, or the effect, if any, that such issuances or sales may have on the market price of our common stock. The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of common stock or other equity securities or announcement that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Any decline in the price of our common stock may encourage short sales, which could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock and may impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

You may find it difficult to sell our common stock.

Only recently has there been any active trading market in our common stock. We cannot assure you that such an active trading market for our common stock will be sustained. Regardless of whether an active and liquid public market exists, negative fluctuations in our actual or anticipated operating results will likely cause the market price of our common stock to fall, making it more difficult for you to sell our common stock at a favorable price, or at all.

- 22 -

If we fail to continue to meet the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), our common stock may be delisted, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq has requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet all of these requirements, or any other requirement in the future. If we fail to meet the requirements, including maintaining minimum price, levels of stockholders’ equity or market values of our common stock, our common stock could be delisted. If our common stock were to be delisted, the liquidity of our common stock would be adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decrease.

Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under ITEM 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those we currently anticipate as a result of many factors, including those described under Part I – FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

OVERVIEW

The Company designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management.

KORU Medical continues to monitor its operations and government recommendations as they relate to the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot predict the effects the pandemic may have on our business, in particular with respect to demand for our products, our strategy, and our prospects, the effects on our customers, or the impact on our financial results. For example, our future net revenue growth may continue to be impacted due to fewer new prescriptions for individuals with Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (“PIDD”) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”) as a result of patients not seeking care during the pandemic. We believe that the pandemic has precipitated limited availability and rising costs of raw materials and labor. We have accounted for these costs of which we are aware, but we may see a future impact on our financial results if current trends continue.

On March 15, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer, Linda Tharby. Ms. Tharby has over 25 years of executive leadership experience building and leading strong performing global organizations, developing and commercializing products and service innovations, and delivering solutions to patients in the home setting.

The Company began its implementation of secondary sourcing of our needle and tubing sets to Command at the beginning of 2021 and is expected to complete the implementation by the second half of 2022. The Company has entered into a lease commencing March 1, 2022 for a new manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters, into which the Company expects to move in June 2022.

Our revenues derive from three business sources: (i) domestic core, (ii) international core, and (iii) novel therapies. Our core domestic and international revenues consist of sales of our products for the delivery of subcutaneous drugs that are FDA cleared for use with the KORU Medical infusion system, with the primary delivery today for immunoglobulin to treat PIDD and CIDP. Novel therapies consist of product revenues of our infusion system (syringe drivers, tubing and needles) for feasibility/clinical trials (pre-clinical studies, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III) of biopharmaceutical companies in the drug development process as well as non-recurring engineering services revenues received from biopharmaceutical companies to ready or customize the FREEDOM System for clinical and commercial use.

The Company achieved four quarters of sequential quarterly growth in 2021, ending the year with net revenues of $23.5 million, or 2.8% below 2020, with the shortfall driven by novel therapies where we had a large clinical trial order in 2020. Our domestic core net revenues for 2021 were 0.8% higher than last year mostly due to price in the second half of the year, and our international core net revenues were up 14.5% compared to last year driven by growth in key customers.

Our gross margin, which is our gross profit stated as a percentage of net revenues, for 2021 was 58.6%, a decline from prior year of 61.8%. The majority of the decline was driven by delays in the transition to our secondary manufacturing source. We expect this transition to be completed in the second half of 2022.

Operating expenses in 2021 increased by 28.9%, or $4.6 million compared to last year, mostly driven by costs associated with building out our executive team, regulatory efforts in support of 510(k) approvals and research and development spend in support of our innovation efforts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year Ended December 31, 2021 compared to Year Ended December 31, 2020

Net Revenues

The following table summarizes our net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	Years Ended December 31,				Change from Prior Year					% of Net Sales
	2021		2020		$			%		2021	2020
Net Revenues
Domestic Core	$	19,045,512	$	18,895,923	$	149,589		0.8%		81.1%	78.2%
Novel Therapies		443,173		1,782,530		(1,339,357	)	(75.1%	)	1.9%	7.3%
Total Domestic		19,488,685		20,678,453		(1,189,768	)	(5.8%	)	83.0%	85.5%

International Core		3,856,972		3,368,519		488,453		14.5%		16.4%	13.9%
Novel Therapies		144,518		129,476		15,042		11.6%		0.6%	0.6%
Total International		4,001,490		3,497,995		503,495		14.4%		17.0%	14.5%
Total	$	23,490,175	$	24,176,448	$	(686,273	)	(2.8%	)

Total net revenues decreased $0.7 million or 2.8% for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year period, driven by lower novel therapies revenue due to a large clinical trial in 2020. Domestic core revenue grew 0.8% mostly due to price in the second half of the year and international core grew 14.5%, driven by growth in key customers.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 is as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,				Change from Prior Year
	2021		2020		$			%
Gross Profit	$	13,769,578	$	14,936,086	$	(1,166,508	)	(7.8%)
Stated as a Percentage of Net Revenues		58.6%		61.8%

Gross profit decreased $1.2 million or 7.8% for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020.

Gross profit, stated as a percentage of net revenues, which is referred to as gross margin, declined to 58.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 61.8% for the same period last year. The majority of the decline was driven by unfavorable product mix and a delay in the transition to our secondary manufacturing source. This was partially offset by price favorability due to a price increase in the second half of 2021.

Selling, general and administrative, Litigation, and Research and development

Our selling, general and administrative, litigation and research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 are as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,				Change from Prior Year
	2021		2020		$			%
Selling, general and administrative	$	17,862,314	$	12,028,309	$	5,834,005		48.5%
Litigation		—		2,447,213		(2,447,213	)	(100.0%)
Research and development		2,473,669		1,296,754		1,176,915		90.8%
	$	20,335,983	$	15,772,276	$	4,563,707		28.9%
Stated as a Percentage of Net Revenues		86.6%		65.2%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.8 million, or 48.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period last year, due to higher salary, benefits and recruiting fees of $2.4 million related to new hires to support expansion of our quality and regulatory, commercial and business development teams. Further contributing to the increase was $1.6 million in costs associated with the departure and replacement of the former chief executive officer and the recruitment of two new Board members, which includes non-cash equity expense of $0.4 million. Market research, testing and consulting fees to support commercialization and regulatory filings of $1.1 million and higher director fees and director and officer liability insurance of $0.8 million also contributed.

- 25 -

Litigation fees decreased $2.4 million compared to the same period last year due to the settlement agreement reached with EMED Technologies Corporation (“EMED”) in the prior year.

Research and development expenses increased $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared with the same period last year mostly due to fees related to personnel to support product development.

Depreciation and amortization

For the year ended December 31, 2021, depreciation and amortization expense increased $44,535, or 10.6%, compared with the same period last year. We continued to invest in capital assets, mostly related to manufacturing and computer equipment.

Net Loss

	Years Ended December 31,						Change from Prior Year
	2021			2020			$			%
Net Loss	$	(4,562,823	)	$	(1,212,063	)	$	(3,350,760	)	(276.5%)
Stated as a Percentage of Net Revenues		(19.4%	)		(5.0%	)

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $4.6 million, as compared to net loss of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, driven by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs, partially offset by lower litigation costs, all as described above. Further offsetting the loss was a tax benefit of $0.3 million resulting from book to tax differences related to stock option expense and the tax benefit for the net operating losses of approximately $1.5 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal source of liquidity is our cash of $25.3 million as of December 31, 2021, and $3.5 million of funds available under our revolving credit facility. Our principal source of operating cash inflows is from sales of our products to customers. Our principal cash outflows relate to the purchase and production of inventory and related costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs.

To develop new products, support future growth, achieve operating efficiencies, and maintain product quality, we must continue to invest in manufacturing technologies, facilities and equipment, and research and development. We estimate expenses to be between $27.0 million and $28.0 million in 2022. We expect our 2022 capital investments for manufacturing and leasehold improvements for our new facility to be in aggregate between $1.5 million and $2.0 million, net of financing arrangements.

Our inventory position was $6.1 million at December 31, 2021. We expect these levels to rise as we build to ensure timely order fulfillment as we complete the transition of the manufacturing of our needle sets and tubing products to our secondary source and for supply continuity as we move our manufacturing facility to our new location in 2022. As the relocation and transition to our secondary source are completed, this inventory is expected to convert to a source of cash in the future.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act contains a provision known as the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), a refundable payroll tax credit for qualified wages paid to retained full-time employees between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2020. The Consolidations Appropriations Act (CAA), signed into law on December 27, 2020, significantly modified and expanded the provisions of the ERC to include wages paid in 2021. For 2021, the ERC provides employers a refundable federal tax credit equal to 70% of the first $10,000 of qualified wages and benefits paid to retained employees between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. Credits may be claimed immediately by reducing payroll taxes sent to the Internal Revenue Service. To the extent that the credit exceeds employment withholdings, the employer may request a refund of prior taxes paid. The Company has determined that it has qualified for this credit and anticipates utilizing benefits under this act to aid its liquidity position and as a result has recorded a receivable of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2021.

In 2020, the Company purchased 683,271 shares of its common stock outstanding for $3.5 million under its stock repurchase program, which expired on December 31, 2021. No repurchases under the program were made in 2021.

- 26 -

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2021			Year Ended December 31, 2020
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(4,319,510	)	$	(743,323	)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(366,169	)	$	(1,036,152	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	2,705,282		$	23,223,832

Operating Activities

Operating cash outflows were $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and was mostly attributable to net loss adjusted for non-cash charges of $3.2 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.0 million due to higher sales in the fourth quarter of this year compared with last year, an increase in other receivables of $0.7 million for the ERC refund, an increase in prepaids of $0.8 million related to raw materials in transit, all partially offset by a decrease in inventory of $0.7 million, and an increase in accounts payable of $0.6 million.

Net cash used in operating activities of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, was mostly attributable to non-cash charges for stock-based compensation and litigation settlement expense of $2.9 million, and an increase in accrued expenses and accrued payroll of $1.4 million, driven by the litigation settlement with EMED and customer rebates. Further adding to the increase was an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.7 million due to timing of collections. Offsetting these were primarily working capital changes which include an increase in inventory of $4.4 million as we built inventory to keep pace with sales growth and to ensure timely order fulfillment during the transition to our secondary manufacturing source, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.4 million relating to increased insurance premiums, and a decrease in accrued tax liability of $0.2 million resulting from book to tax differences related to stock option expense.

Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily for capital expenditures for manufacturing equipment and computers for new hires and replacement of retired computers.

Our net cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily for capital expenditures for research and development and strategic initiatives.

Financing Activities

The $2.7 million provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 is attributed to cash received for options exercised of $1.3 million, the issuance of common stock as settlement for litigation of $0.9 million, and $0.5 million on borrowings from indebtedness.

The $23.2 million provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 is from the $26.6 million capital raise, net of expenses, and $0.1 million from options exercised, offset against the repurchase of the Company’s common stock outstanding of $3.5 million.

We expect that our cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and our fully available credit facility will be sufficient to meet our requirements at least through the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified some of our more critical accounting estimates below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information, see “NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES” in the accompanying “Notes to Financial Statements” appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or conditions.

Revenue Recognition

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018, on a full retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to our accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows or related disclosures. As such, prior period financial statements were not recast.

The Company’s revenues result from the sale of assembled products. We recognize revenues when shipment occurs, and at which point the customer obtains control and ownership of the goods. Shipping costs generally are billed to customers and are included in sales.

The Company generally does not accept return of goods shipped unless it is a Company error. The only credits provided to customers are for defective merchandise. The Company warrants the syringe driver from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and the warranty does not include a performance obligation. The costs under the warranty are expensed as incurred.

Provisions for distributor pricing and annual customer growth rebates are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded or when it is probable the annual growth target will be achieved. Rebates are provided to distributors for the difference in selling price to distributor and pricing specified to select customers.

The Company established an allowance for charging off uncollectible trade accounts receivable that have both of the following characteristics: (a) They have a contractual maturity of one year or less, (b) They arose from the sale of goods or services.

Inventory

Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates average cost, or market value including allocable overhead. Work-in-process and finished goods are stated at the lower of standard cost or market value and include direct labor and allocable overhead.

- 28 -

We maintain reserves for excess and obsolete inventory resulting from the potential inability to sell certain products at prices in excess of current carrying costs. We make estimates regarding the future recoverability of the costs of these products and record provisions based on historical experience, expiration of sterilization dates and expected future trends. If actual product life cycles, product demand or acceptance of new product introductions are less favorable than projected by management, additional inventory write downs may be required, which could unfavorably affect future operating results.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Repro Med Systems, Inc.

Chester, New York

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Repro Med Systems, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Grant of Stock Options

Description of the Matter:

As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company granted 2,000,000 options to purchase shares of its common stock with 10-year terms and a grant-date fair value of $5,699,986 to employees, directors and consultants during the year ended December 31, 2021. Management is required to analyze the fair value of each option granted and amortize it over its vesting period.

We identified the grant of the stock options as a critical audit matter. Management’s estimates regarding the fair value of options result in the application of a high degree of auditor judgment.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit:

We obtained an understanding of the Company’s processes and controls in place for determining the fair value of each granted option. We evaluated the option price model management selected to determine the fair value, and analyzed the underlying data used to estimate the fair value of the awards. We also recalculated the fair value of each option granted during the year.

/s/ McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2014.

REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company,” “KORU Medical,” “KORU,” “we,” “us” or “our”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management. The Company operates as one segment.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We prepare our financial statements and accompanying notes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in our Financial Statements.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company holds cash in excess of $250,000 at its depository, which exceeds the FDIC insurance limits and is, therefore, uninsured.

INVENTORY

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Certain of our identifiable intangible assets, including patents and trademarks, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which range from 6 to 20 years. All of our intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our management is responsible for determining if impairment exists and considers various factors when making these determinations. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $63,830 and $62,177, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense for the succeeding years for the intangible assets is approximately:

Schedule of amortization expense

Year Ending December 31,
2022	$	60,617
2023		59,842
2024		59,842
2025		59,842
2026		59,842
Thereafter		508,828
Total amortization expense	$	808,813

- 37 -

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.

The Company believes that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure or adjustment.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at original acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements are capitalized which increase the value or extend the life of an asset, while maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which generally range from 3-10 years for furniture and office equipment, 3-12 years for manufacturing equipment and tooling and shorter of the lease term or their estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $399,300 and $356,418, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains a stock option plan under which it grants stock options to certain executives, key employees and consultants. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All options are charged against income at their fair value. The entire compensation expense of the award is recognized over the vesting period. Shares of stock granted for director fees are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date.

The Company also maintains an omnibus equity incentive plan. To date the Company has only granted shares of stock for director fees under this plan and those shares of stock granted are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date.

The Company issues restricted stock awards. Restricted stock awards are equity classified and measured at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards vesting at certain market capitalization thresholds were estimated on the date of grant using the Brownian Motion Monte Carlo lattice model. The fair value of restricted stock awards with time-based vesting were estimated on the date of grant at the current stock price. We recognize restricted stock expense using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period and account for forfeitures as they occur.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share includes only an increase in the weighted average shares by the common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. See “NOTE 4 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION” for further detail.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Important estimates include but are not limited to asset lives, valuation allowances, inventory valuation, and accruals.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The following table summarizes net revenues by geography for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Total	$	23,490,175	$	24,176,448

LEASES

In February 2016, the FASB issued a standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by the Company for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP, while our accounting for capital leases remains substantially unchanged. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard became effective for us on January 1, 2019. The standard had a material impact on our balance sheets but did not have a material impact on our statements of operations. See “NOTE 5 — LEASES” for further detail.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions including the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2021, and it had no impact on our financial statement disclosures.

- 39 -

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provided elective amendments for entities that have contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments may be applied to impacted contracts and hedges prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

•	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

•	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2021.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount. The impairment loss, if recognized, would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its respective fair value. No impairment losses have been recorded through December 31, 2021.

NOTE 4 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has two equity incentive plans: the 2015 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”) and the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). As of December 31, 2021, there were options to purchase 3,672,500 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding to certain executives, key employees and consultants under the 2015 Plan, of which 2,000,000 were issued during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Additional options may be issued under the 2015 Plan as outstanding options are forfeited, subject to a maximum 6,000,000 available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of up to 1,000,000 incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and/or stock appreciation rights to employees, consultants and directors. As of December 31, 2021, there had been issued 59,658 shares of common stock as directors fees under the 2021 Plan.

Prior to January 1, 2021, each non-employee director of the Company was eligible to receive $50,000 annually (effective January 1, 2019), plus $10,000 for chairing a Board committee (effective February 20, 2019), all to be paid quarterly half in cash and half in common stock. The Chairman of the Board was eligible to receive an additional $50,000 annually (effective October 1, 2019), all to be paid in common stock.

Effective January 1, 2021, each non-employee director of the Company (other than the Chairman of the Board) and Board advisor were eligible to receive of $75,000 annually, to be paid quarterly $12,500 in cash and $6,250 in common stock. The Chairman of the Board is eligible to receive $100,000 annually, to be paid quarterly $12,500 in cash and $12,500 in common stock. Effective May 18, 2021, each non-employee director of the Company (other than the Chairman of the Board) and Board advisor are eligible to receive of $110,000 annually, to be paid quarterly $12,500 in cash and $15,000 in common stock. The Chairman of the Board is eligible to receive $140,000 annually, to be paid quarterly $12,500 in cash and $22,500 in common stock. All payments were and are pro-rated for partial service.

2015 STOCK OPTION PLAN, as amended

Time-Based Stock Options

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 was $2.85 and $6.53, respectively. The fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the years ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020. Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of the options. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of the U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in determining fair value. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. We have recognized tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation of $175,257 and $62,393 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

	December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020

NOTE 5 — LEASES

We have finance and operating leases for our corporate office and certain office and computer equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 0.6 years, some of which include options to extend the leases annually and some with options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

At contract inception, we evaluate whether an arrangement is or contains a lease for which we are the lessee (that is, arrangements which provide us with the right to control a physical asset for a period of time). Operating leases are accounted for on the balance sheets with ROU assets being recognized in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” and lease liabilities recognized in “Operating lease liability – current” and “Operating lease liability, net of current portion.” Finance leases are accounted for on the balance sheets recognized in “Property and equipment, net” and lease liabilities recognized in “Finance lease liability – current” and “Finance lease liability, net of current portion.”

Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. With respect to finance leases, amortization of the ROU asset is presented separately from interest expense related to the finance lease liability.

We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all lease contracts where we are the lessee. Additionally, for arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less, we do not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with variable lease payments recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. ROU assets are measured for impairment when a triggering event occurs.

The components of lease expense were as follows:


	Years Ended
	December 31,
	2021		2020

Operating lease cost	$	149,476	$	151,686

NOTE 7 — MAJOR CUSTOMERS

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately 41% and 51%, respectively, of the Company’s net product revenues were derived from one major customer. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accounts receivable due from this customer was $1.4 million for each period.

The largest customer in both years is a domestic medical products and supplies distributor. Although, a number of larger infusion customers have elected to consolidate their purchases through one or more distributors in recent years, we continue to maintain strong direct relationships with them. We do not believe that their continued purchase of FREEDOM System products and related supplies is contingent upon the distributor.

NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has been and may again become involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as described below, KORU Medical is not presently a party to any litigation or other legal proceeding that is believed to be material to its financial condition.

Litigation

From 2013 until May 2020, we were involved in several lawsuits with our principal competitor, EMED. EMED alleged that our needle sets infringed various patents controlled by EMED. Certain of these lawsuits also alleged antitrust violations, unfair business practices, and various other business tort claims. On May 26, 2020, the parties announced the settlement of all of the litigation between KORU Medical and EMED. The settlement agreement provides KORU Medical with freedom to operate under EMED’s existing patent portfolio, dismissal of all litigation with prejudice (including the claims against Andrew Sealfon, our former President and Chief Executive Officer), and an equity payment by KORU Medical to EMED.

Refer to our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020 regarding the dismissed case with our principal competitor, EMED.

The first binding purchase order pursuant to the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement was made on November 17, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).

The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement provides for a term of five years from the Effective Date. Either party may terminate the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement upon a material breach by the other Party that has not been cured within 90 days, upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other Party or as expressly set forth elsewhere in the Agreement. If the Company terminates the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement other than for those reasons within the first three years from the Effective Date, the Company is obligated to pay an early termination fee to Command.

The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement also includes customary provisions relating to, among other things, delivery, inspection procedures, warranties, quality management, business continuity plans, handling and transport, intellectual property, confidentiality and indemnification.

NOTE 9 — EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

We provide a safe harbor 401(k) plan for our employees that allows for employee elective contributions, Company matching contributions and discretionary profit-sharing contributions. Employee elective contributions are funded through voluntary payroll deductions. The Company makes safe harbor matching contributions in an amount equal to 100% of the employee’s contribution, not to exceed 3% of employee’s compensation plus 50% of employee’s pay contributed between 3% and 5% of employee’s compensation. Company matching expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $166,014 and $156,789, respectively. The Company has not provided for a discretionary profit-sharing contribution.

NOTE 10 — DEBT OBLIGATIONS

On July 26, 2021, the Company entered into a commercial insurance premium finance and security agreement with AON Premium Finance, LLC in the aggregate principal amount of $0.9 million bearing an annual percentage rate of 4.17%, to finance its insurance premiums. Monthly payments are due on the first of each month beginning August 1, 2021 through June 1, 2022.

On April 14, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note to KeyBank in the aggregate principal amount of $3.5 million (the “Note”) as an extension of its line of credit, replacing its then current line of credit agreement. The $3.5 million Note is in the form of a variable rate non-disclosable revolving line of credit with an interest rate of Prime Rate announced by the Bank minus 0.75%. The Note was renewed on June 24, 2021, in the same form with an interest rate of Prime Rate announced by the Bank minus 1.50%. Interest is due monthly, and all principal and unpaid interest is due on June 1, 2022. The $3.5 million Note may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The $3.5 million Note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type.

In connection with the Note, the Company entered into a Commercial Security Agreement with the Bank dated April 14, 2020 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted a security interest in substantially all assets of the Company to secure the obligations of the Company under the Note. The Security Agreement contains terms and conditions typical for the granting of security interests of this kind.

The Company had no amount outstanding against the line of credit as of December 31, 2021.

On April 27, 2020, the Company entered into a Progress Payment Loan and Security Agreement (“PPLSA”) and a Master Security Agreement (the “MSA”), each dated as of April 20, 2020, with Key Equipment Finance, a division of the Bank (“KEF”), to provide up to $2.5 million in financing for equipment purchases from third party vendors. The PPLSA allows the Company to make draws with KEF to make certain payments to the equipment suppliers prior to the commencement of periodic payments under a term loan. Each draw under the PPLSA will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the then-current Prime Rate and will be secured by the financed equipment under the MSA. At the end of each calendar quarter or year, the advances made under the PPLSA will be converted to term loans, subject to KEF’s approval of the equipment and certain other closing conditions being met. Once the draws under the PPLSA are converted into a term loan, each promissory note will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.07% per annum, subject to adjustment based on KEF’s cost of funds, with principal and interest payable in 84 equal consecutive monthly installments. Each fixed rate installment promissory note may be prepaid, subject to a penalty if prepaid before the fifth anniversary of its issuance. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no amount outstanding against the PPLSA. This PPLSA expires on June 1, 2022.

NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT

We have entered into a lease for a new facility located at 100 Corporate Drive, Mahwah, New Jersey to serve as our headquarters and for our general operations. We expect to move out of our current building into this 43,975 square foot facility in June 2022. The new lease term commences March 1, 2022 and expires August 31, 2032. Our monthly base rent is approximately $38,000 in the first year commencing March 1, 2022, with annual increases up to approximately $50,000 in the last year.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer or CEO, and principal financial officer or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2021.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and implemented in conjunction with management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the year ended December 31, 2021, that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
