KORU MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
KORU MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company,” “KORU Medical,” “we,” “us” or “our”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the subcutaneous drug delivery market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international regulations and standards for quality system management. The Company operates as one segment.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). In accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements of the Company. The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows that it may achieve in future periods.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statements of cash flows,
the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As
of September 30, 2024 the Company held cash and cash-equivalents of $
PATENTS
Costs incurred in obtaining patents have been capitalized and are being amortized over the legal life of the patents.
The Company maintains an omnibus equity incentive plan under which it grants options and other equity incentive awards to certain executives, key employees and consultants, as well as shares of common stock to non-employee directors.
The fair value of each stock 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.
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. The fair value of restricted stock awards vesting at certain annual sales growth thresholds were estimated as of the date of Board acknowledgement of the achievement, 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.
Performance share units (“PSUs”) are equity classified and measured at the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
The Company computes net loss per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same because the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, which comprise the Company’s outstanding common stock options, unvested restricted stock units, performance stock units and warrants, would be anti-dilutive, due to the reporting of a net loss for each of the periods in the accompanying statements of operations.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“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, deferred tax valuation allowances, inventory valuation, expected credit losses, and customer rebate and incentive accruals. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2024 fiscal year.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our revenues are derived from three business sources: (i) domestic core (which consists of US and Canada), (ii) international core, and (iii) novel therapies. Our domestic and international core revenues consist of sales of our syringe drivers, tubing and needles (“Product Revenue”) for the delivery of subcutaneous drugs that are FDA cleared for use with the KORU Medical infusion system, with the primary delivery for immunoglobulin to treat Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (“PIDD”) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”). Novel therapies consist of Product Revenue 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 (“NRE”) revenues (including testing and registration services) received from biopharmaceutical companies to ready or customize the FREEDOMTM System for clinical and commercial use across multiple drug categories.
For Product Revenue, 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 Product Revenue.
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.
Rebates are provided to distributors for the difference in selling price to distributor and pricing specified to select customers. In addition, rebates are provided to customers for meeting growth targets. Provisions for both distributor pricing and 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 growth target will be achieved.
We recognize NRE revenue under an input method, which recognizes revenue on the basis of our efforts or inputs (for example, resources consumed, labor hours expended, costs incurred, or time elapsed) to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation (i.e. completion milestone). The input method that we use is based on costs incurred.
Contracts are often modified to account for changes
in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications exist when the modification either creates new, or changes existing,
enforceable rights and obligations. Generally, when contract modifications create new performance obligations, the modification is considered
to be a separate contract and revenue is recognized prospectively. When contract modifications change existing performance obligations,
the impact on the existing transaction price and measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is generally
recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Contract
assets primarily represent revenue earnings over time that are not yet billable based on the terms of the contracts. Contract liabilities
(i.e., deferred revenue) consist of fees invoiced or paid by the Company’s customers for which the associated performance obligations
have not been satisfied and revenue has not been recognized based on the Company’s revenue recognition criteria described above.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has recognized a contract asset of $

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS RECENTLY ADOPTED
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.
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. The Company did not record any impairment losses through September 30, 2024.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain liability balances within the accompanying December 31, 2023 balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. There were no changes to the Company’s results of operations as a result of the reclassification.

Prior to May 9, 2024, the Company maintained a stock option plan and an omnibus equity incentive plan under which it granted options and other equity incentive awards to certain executives, key employees and consultants, as well as a non-employee director compensation plan under which it granted shares of common stock to non-employee directors. As of May 9, 2024, a new omnibus equity incentive plan replaced these plans with respect to awards made after that date to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company has also made inducement awards of equity-based compensation outside of the plans. The Company issued warrants to purchase common stock in connection with our loan financing agreement with our lender.
The fair value of each option and warrant grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All options and warrants are charged against income at their fair value. The entire compensation expense of the grant is recognized over the vesting period.
Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) are equity classified and measured at the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
Shares of stock granted for non-employee director fees are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date.
Restricted stock awards are equity classified and measured at the fair 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 other restricted stock awards 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.
The Company has three equity incentive plans: the 2015 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”), the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), and had the Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan (the “Director Plan”) prior to May 9, 2024. No new awards have been or will be issued pursuant to the 2015 Plan, the 2021 Plan or the Director Plan from and after May 9, 2024. The Company has also issued employment inducement awards to certain key executives.
The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. As of September 30, 2024, there were
shares reserved for outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan.
The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of 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 September 30, 2024, there were
shares reserved for outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan.
The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of 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 September 30, 2024, there were
shares reserved for outstanding awards and shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan. In addition, awards previously made under the 2015 Plan and the 2021 Plan that are forfeited or cancelled after May 9, 2024 will be available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.

than the Chairman of the Board) is eligible to receive $

available evidence, we recorded a valuation allowance of $

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, certain “forward-looking” statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of the management, as well as assumptions made and information currently available. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control.
Our actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements made in this report due to important factors such as uncertainties associated with global health crises, inflation, war and other geopolitical conflicts, customer ordering patterns, availability and costs of raw materials and labor and our ability to recover such costs, future operating results, growth of new patient starts and the Ig market, our compliance with Food and Drug Administration and foreign authority regulations and the outcome of regulatory audits, introduction of competitive products, acceptance of and demand for new and existing products, ability to penetrate new markets, success in enforcing and obtaining patents, reimbursement related risks, government regulation of the home health care industry, success of our research and development effort, expanding the market of FREEDOMTM System demand in the SCIg market, availability of sufficient capital if or when needed, dependence on key personnel, and the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, as well as those risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. When used in this report, the words “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include, without limitation, statements regarding need for additional financing. Such statements reflect current views with respect to future events based on currently available information and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revision to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Throughout this report, the “Company,” “KORU Medical,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to KORU Medical Systems, Inc.
OVERVIEW
The Company develops, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the subcutaneous drug delivery market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international regulations and standards for quality system management.
Our revenues derive from three business sources: (i) domestic core (which consists of US and Canada), (ii) international core, and (iii) novel therapies. Our domestic core and international core revenues consist of sales of our products for the delivery of subcutaneous drugs that are FDA cleared for use with the FREEDOMTM System, with the primary delivery for immunoglobulin to treat Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (“PIDD”) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (“CIDP”). Novel therapies revenues consist of product revenues from 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 (“NRE”) received from biopharmaceutical companies to ready or customize the FREEDOMTM System for clinical and commercial use.
The Company ended the third quarter of 2024 with $8.2 million in net revenues, a 16.8% increase compared to $7.0 million in the same period last year. Revenues were driven by growth in our core domestic and international business of 11.7% and 5.1%, respectively, and 275.6% in our novel therapies business.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $5.2 million, a 19.4% increase compared to $4.3 million in the same period last year, primarily driven by additional revenue from volume growth in each of our core and novel therapies businesses. Gross margin was 63.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase from 62.0% in the prior year period. We define gross margin as gross profit stated as a percentage of net revenues.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $6.9 million, compared to $6.1 million for the same period last year, driven by an increase of $0.5 million in selling, general, and administrative expenses and an increase of $0.2 million in research and development expenses.

Total | $ | 8,179,977 | $ | 7,003,198 | $ | 1,176,778 | 16.8% | 100% | 100% |
Total net revenues increased $1.2 million, or 16.8%, to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $7 million in the same period in 2023. Domestic core revenues increased by 11.7% to $6.4 million over the prior year period, primarily due to higher consumable and pump volumes driven by new patients starts and market share gains. International core revenues increased by 5.1% to $1.1 million over the prior year period, primarily due to higher consumable volumes driven largely by increased Ig supply, increased penetration within certain approved indications, and geographic expansion. Partially offsetting the growth were lower orders from a distribution partner that expedited $0.3 million orders in the second quarter of 2024 related to the BSI regulatory review which has since been successfully appealed. Novel therapies net revenues increased by 275.6% to $0.6 million over the prior year period, primarily driven by clinical trial orders and progress on NRE milestones completed for multiple collaboration agreements.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Gross profit increased $0.8 million, or 19.4%, to $5.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $4.3 million in the same period in 2023. Gross margin increased to 63.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 62.0% in the prior year period. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a favorable sales mix of clinical trial orders, an improved NRE mix of more profitable services, and increased average selling prices when compared to the prior year period.

Research and development expenses increased $0.2 million, or 18.6%, to $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2023, primarily due to executive severance related to the elimination of the CTO role.
Depreciation and amortization expense remained flat at $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $0.2 million during the same period in 2023, primarily driven by timing of projects and related capital spending.

Our net loss decreased $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, mostly driven by an increase in gross profit of $3.4 million, partially offset by an increase in operating expense of $0.2 million and a prior year tax benefit of $1.4 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal source of liquidity is our cash on hand of $8.8 million as of September 30, 2024. Our principal source of operating cash inflows is from sales of our products and NRE. Our principal cash outflows relate to the purchase and production of inventory, funding of research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses. To develop new products, support future growth, achieve operating efficiencies, and maintain product quality, we are continuing to invest in research and development and manufacturing equipment.
Our inventory position was $3.9 million at September 30, 2024, which reflects an increase of $0.4 million from December 31, 2023.
We expect that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our requirements at least through the next twelve months. Continued execution on our longer-term strategic plan may require the Company to draw on our credit facility, take on additional debt, raise capital through issuance of equity, or a combination of both. Our future capital requirements may vary from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of sales growth, the timing and extent of spending on various strategic initiatives including research and development, our international expansion, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our solutions, and overall economic conditions including inflation and the potential impact of global supply imbalances on the global financial markets. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are or are expected to be insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to draw on our new credit facility or seek additional equity or debt financing sooner. There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain the financing or raise the capital required to fund its operations or planned expansion.
