Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization
 
Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Innovus”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) is a Nevada formed, San Diego, California-based emerging commercial stage pharmaceutical company delivering over-the-counter medicines and consumer care products for men’s and women’s health and respiratory diseases.
 
We generate revenue from 18 commercial products in the United States, including six of these commercial products in multiple countries around the world through our commercial partners. Our commercial product portfolio includes (a) Beyond Human® Testosterone Booster, (b) Beyond Human® Growth Agent, (c) Zestra® for female arousal, (d) EjectDelay® for premature ejaculation, (e) Sensum+® for reduced penile sensitivity, (f) Zestra Glide®, (g) Vesele® for promoting sexual health, (h) Androferti® to support overall male reproductive health and sperm quality, (i) RecalMax™ for cognitive brain health, (j) Beyond Human® Green Coffee Extract, (k) Beyond Human® Vision Formula, (l) Beyond Human® Blood Sugar, (m) Beyond Human® Colon Cleanse, (n) Beyond Human® Ketones, (o) Beyond Human® Krill Oil, (p) Beyond Human® Omega 3 Fish Oil, (q) UriVarx™ for bladder health and (r) ProstaGorx™ for prostate health. While we generate revenue from the sale of our commercial products, most revenue is currently generated by Vesele®, Zestra®, Zestra® Glide, RecalMax™, Sensum +®, UriVarx™ and Beyond Human® Testosterone Booster.
 
Pipeline Products
 
ProstaGorx™. ProstaGorx is a clinical strength, multi-response prostate supplement, scientifically formulated to effectively maintain good prostate health and help in preventing prostate issues in the future. We recently launched this product in May 2017.
 
AllerVarx™. On December 15, 2016, we entered into an exclusive license and distribution agreement with NTC S.r.l (Italy) to distribute and commercialize AllerVarx in the U.S. and Canada. AllerVarx is a proprietary modified release bilayer tablet for the management of allergy symptoms. We expect to launch this product in the first half of 2017.
 
FlutiCare™ (fluticasone propionate nasal spray). Innovus acquired the worldwide rights to market and sell the FlutiCare™ brand (fluticasone propionate nasal spray) and the related third-party manufacturing agreement for the manufacturing of FlutiCare™ from Novalere FP, Inc. in February 2015 (see Note 3). The Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) filed at the end of 2014 by the third-party manufacturer, who is currently selling the prescription version of the drug, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), subject to FDA approval, may allow us to market and sell FlutiCare™ OTC in the U.S. An ANDA is an application for a U.S. generic drug approval for an existing licensed medication or approved drug. A prescription ANDA (“RX ANDA”) is for a generic version of a prescription pharmaceutical and an OTC ANDA is for a generic version of an OTC pharmaceutical. Due to the delay in approval of the third-party manufacturer’s OTC ANDA by the FDA, in May 2017, we announced a commercial relationship with a different third-party manufacturer (West-Ward Pharmaceuticals International Limited or “WWPIL”) who has an FDA approved OTC ANDA for fluticasone propionate nasal spray under which they have agreed to manufacture our FlutiCare™ OTC product for sale in the U.S. (see Note 9). We expect to launch our FlutiCare™ OTC product in the U.S. in the second half of 2017.
 
Xyralid. Xyralid™ is an OTC FDA monograph compliant drug containing the active drug ingredient lidocaine and indicated for the relief of the pain and symptoms caused by hemorrhoids. We expect to launch this product in the second half of 2017.
 
Urocis XR. On October 27, 2015, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Laboratorios Q Pharma (Spain) to distribute and commercialize Urocis™ XR in the U.S. and Canada. Urocis™ XR is a proprietary extended release of Vaccinium Marcocarpon (cranberry) shown to provide 24-hour coverage in the body in connection with urinary tract infections in women. We expect to launch this product in the second half of 2017.
 
AndroVit. On October 27, 2015, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Laboratorios Q Pharma (Spain) to distribute and commercialize AndroVit™ in the U.S. and Canada. AndroVit™ is a proprietary supplement to support overall prostate and male sexual health currently marketed in Europe.  AndroVit™ was specifically formulated with ingredients known to support normal prostate health and vitality and male sexual health. We expect to launch this product in the second half of 2017.
 
Apeaz™. We developed our proprietary product Apeaz™, which is an OTC FDA monograph compliant drug containing the active drug ingredient methyl salicylate and indicated for the minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with simple backaches, arthritis, strains, bruises and sprains. We expect to launch this product in the second half of 2017.
 
ArthriVarx™. This nutritional supplement is designed to relieve the pain associated with arthritis. We expect to launch this product in the second half of 2017.
 
PEVarx™. This product is designed and tested in several hundred men to extend the length of sexual intercourse. We expect to launch this product in the second half of 2017.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and include all assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: FasTrack Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Semprae Laboratories, Inc. (“Semprae”) and Novalere, Inc. (“Novalere”). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Certain information required by U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results for the period ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 or for any future period.  Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such management estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns and chargebacks, realizability of inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of contingent acquisition consideration, recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, fair value of derivative liabilities and the valuation of equity-based instruments and beneficial conversion features. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Liquidity
 
Our operations have been financed primarily through proceeds from convertible debentures and notes payable, sales of our common stock and revenue generated from our products domestically and internationally by our partners. These funds have provided us with the resources to operate our business, sell and support our products, attract and retain key personnel and add new products to our portfolio. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each year since our inception.  As of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $31,681,536 and a working capital deficit of $137,642.
 
In March 2017, we raised net cash proceeds of $3,307,773 from the sale of common stock and warrants in a registered public offering (see Note 7) and, in January 2017 and December 2016, we raised $650,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance of notes payable to three investors (see Note 5). We have also issued equity instruments in certain circumstances to pay for services from vendors and consultants.
 
As of March 31, 2017, we had $2,375,352 in cash and $75,000 of cash collections held by our third-party merchant service provider, which is included in prepaid expense and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had net cash used in operating activities of $495,635. We expect that our existing capital resources, revenue from sales of our products and upcoming sales milestone payments from the commercial partners signed for our products will be sufficient to allow us to continue our operations, commence the product development process and launch selected products through at least the next 12 months. In addition, our CEO, who is also a significant shareholder, has deferred the remaining payment of his salary earned thru June 30, 2016 totaling $1,036,315 for at least the next 12 months. Our actual needs will depend on numerous factors, including timing of introducing our products to the marketplace, our ability to attract additional international distributors for our products and our ability to in-license in non-partnered territories and/or develop new product candidates. Although no assurances can be given, we may raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities to provide additional working capital, pay for further expansion and development of our business, and to meet current obligations. Such capital may not be available to us when we need it or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Fair Value Measurement
 
Our financial instruments are cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, derivative liabilities, contingent consideration and debt. The recorded values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The fair values of the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion feature derivative liabilities are based upon the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) and the Path-Dependent Monte Carlo Simulation Model calculations, respectively, and are a Level 3 measurement (see Note 8). The fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration is based upon the present value of expected future payments under the terms of the agreements and is a Level 3 measurement (see Note 3).  Based on borrowing rates currently available to us, the carrying values of the notes payable approximate their respective fair values.  
 
We follow a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level 1 measurements are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 measurements are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. Cash held with financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on such deposits. Accounts receivable consist primarily of sales of Zestra® to U.S. based retailers and Ex-U.S. partners. We also require a percentage of payment in advance for product orders with our larger partners. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral. 
 
Revenues consist primarily of product sales and licensing rights to market and commercialize our products.  We have no customers that accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and four customers accounted for 78% of total net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2017. We had one customer that accounted for 10% of our total net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and three customers accounted for 62% of total net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016.
 
Over 95% of our sales are currently within the United States and Canada. The balance of the sales are to various other countries, none of which is 10% or greater.
 
We operate our business on the basis of a single reportable segment, which is the business of delivering over-the-counter medicines and consumer care products for men’s and women’s health and respiratory diseases. Our chief operating decision-maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates us as a single operating segment.
 
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
 
We generate revenue from product sales and the licensing of the rights to market and commercialize our products.
 
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) title to the product has passed or services have been rendered; (3) price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Product Sales: We ship products directly to consumers pursuant to phone or online orders and to our wholesale and retail customers pursuant to purchase agreements or sales orders. Revenue from sales transactions where the buyer has the right to return the product is recognized at the time of sale only if (1) the seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale, (2) the buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product, (3) the buyer’s obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product, (4) the buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller, (5) the seller does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer and (6) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
 
License Revenue: The license agreements we enter into normally generate three separate components of revenue: 1) an initial payment due on signing or when certain specific conditions are met; 2) royalties that are earned on an ongoing basis as sales are made or a pre-agreed transfer price and 3) sales-based milestone payments that are earned when cumulative sales reach certain levels. Revenue from the initial payments or licensing fee is recognized when all required conditions are met. Royalties are recognized as earned based on the licensee’s sales. Revenue from the sales-based milestone payments is recognized when the cumulative revenue levels are reached. The achievement of the sales-based milestone underlying the payment to be received predominantly relates to the licensee’s performance of future commercial activities. FASB ASC 605-28, Milestone Method, (“ASC 605-28”) is not used by us as these milestones do not meet the definition of a milestone under ASC 605-28 as they are sales-based and similar to a royalty and the achievement of the sales levels is neither based, in whole or in part, on our performance, a specific outcome resulting from our performance, nor is it a research or development deliverable.

Sales Allowances
 
We accrue for product returns, volume rebates and promotional discounts in the same period the related sale is recognized.
 
Our product returns accrual is primarily based on estimates of future product returns over the period customers have a right of return, which is in turn based in part on estimates of the remaining shelf-life of products when sold to customers. Future product returns are estimated primarily based on historical sales and return rates. We estimate our volume rebates and promotional discounts accrual based on its estimates of the level of inventory of our products in the distribution channel that remain subject to these discounts. The estimate of the level of products in the distribution channel is based primarily on data provided by our customers.
 
In all cases, judgment is required in estimating these reserves. Actual claims for rebates and returns and promotional discounts could be materially different from the estimates.
 
We provide a customer satisfaction warranty on all of our products to customers for a specified amount of time after product delivery. Estimated return costs are based on historical experience and estimated and recorded when the related sales are recognized. Any additional costs are recorded when incurred or when they can reasonably be estimated.
 
The estimated reserve for sales returns and allowances, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expense, was approximately $57,000 and $61,000 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
 
Advertising Expense
 
Advertising costs, which primarily includes print and online media advertisements, are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were approximately $1,358,000 and $11,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
Debt Extinguishment
 
Any gain or loss associated with debt extinguishment is recorded in the period in which the debt is considered extinguished. Third party fees incurred in connection with a debt restructuring accounted for as an extinguishment are capitalized. Fees paid to third parties associated with a term debt restructuring accounted for as a modification are expensed as incurred. Third party and creditor fees incurred in connection with a modification to a line of credit or revolving debt arrangements are considered to be associated with the new arrangement and are capitalized.
 
Net Loss per Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and vested but deferred RSUs during the period presented. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and vested but deferred RSUs during the periods plus the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share as a result of our common stock equivalents being anti-dilutive.  See Note 7 for more details.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The issues addressed in this ASU that will affect us is classifying debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. We have elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2017 and, as a result, the prepayment penalty of $127,247 in connection with the extinguishment of the 2016 Notes (see Note 5) in March 2017 is classified as a financing cash outflow in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures and had no other impact to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The ASU involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. Certain of these changes are required to be applied retrospectively, while other changes are required to be applied prospectively. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017, we have made an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur. There is no cumulative-effect adjustment as a result of the adoption of this ASU as our estimated forfeiture rate prior to adoption of this ASU was 0%. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Current U.S. GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update will align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Topic 330. Inventory, currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this ASU more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in IFRS. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU 2014-15 describes how an entity should assess its ability to meet obligations and sets rules for how this information should be disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard provides accounting guidance that will be used along with existing auditing standards. The ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
NOTE 2 – LICENSE AGREEMENTS
 
CRI In-License Agreement
 
On April 19, 2013, the Company and Centric Research Institute (“CRI”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “CRI Asset Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired:
 
All of CRI’s rights in past, present and future Sensum+® product formulations and presentations, and
 
An exclusive, perpetual license to commercialize Sensum+® products in all territories except for the United States.
 
On June 9, 2016, the Company and CRI amended the CRI Asset Purchase Agreement (“Amended CRI Asset Purchase Agreement”) to provide us commercialization rights for Sensum+® in the U.S. through our Beyond Human® marketing platform through December 31, 2016. On January 1, 2017, the Company and CRI agreed to extend the term of the Amended CRI Asset Purchase Agreement to December 31, 2017. In connection with the extension, we issued restricted shares of common stock totaling 225,000 to CRI as a prepayment of royalties due on net profit of Sensum+® in the U.S. in 2017. The royalty prepayment amount is $44,662 as the number of shares of common stock issued was based on the closing price of our common stock on December 30, 2016. If CRI does not earn royalties larger than the prepaid amount of $44,662 in 2017, the term of the Amended CRI Asset Purchase Agreement is automatically extended one additional year to December 31, 2018.
 
The CRI Asset Purchase Agreement also requires us to pay to CRI up to $7.0 million in cash milestone payments based on first achievement of annual Ex-U.S. net sales targets plus a royalty based on annual Ex-U.S. net sales. The obligation for these payments expires on April 19, 2023 or the expiration of the last of CRI’s patent claims covering the product or its use outside the U.S., whichever is sooner. No sales milestone obligations have been met and no royalties are owed to CRI under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
 
In consideration for the Amended CRI Asset Purchase Agreement, we are required to pay CRI a percentage of the monthly net profit, as defined in the agreement, from our sales of Sensum+® in the U.S. through our Beyond Human® marketing platform. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no amounts have been earned by CRI under the Amended CRI Asset Purchase Agreement.

J&H Co. LTD Agreement
 
On November 9, 2016, we entered into an exclusive ten-year license agreement with J&H Co. LTD, a South Korea company (“J&H”), under which we granted to J&H an exclusive license to market and sell our topical treatment for Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder (“FSI/AD”) Zestra® and Zestra Glide® in South Korea. Under the agreement, J&H is obligated to order minimum annual quantities of Zestra® and Zestra Glide® totaling $2.0 million at a pre-negotiated transfer price per unit. The minimum annual order quantities by J&H are to be made over a 12-month period following the approval of the product by local authorities and beginning upon the completion of the first shipment of product. Our partner recently received the approval to import the product and placed its first order in March 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $60,000 in revenue for the sale of products related to this agreement.
 
Sothema Laboratories Agreement
 
On September 23, 2014, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Sothema Laboratories, SARL, a Moroccan publicly traded company (“Sothema”), under which we granted to Sothema an exclusive license to market and sell Zestra® (based on the latest Canadian approval of the indication) and Zestra Glide® in several Middle Eastern and African countries (collectively the “Territory”).
 
Under the agreement, we received an upfront payment of $200,000 and are eligible to receive additional consideration upon and subject to the achievement of sales milestones based on cumulative supplied units of the licensed products in the Territory, plus a pre-negotiated transfer price per unit. We believe the amount of the upfront payment received is reasonable compared to the amounts to be received upon obtainment of future sales-based milestones.
 
As the sales-based milestones do not meet the definition of a milestone under ASC 605-28, we will recognize the revenue from the milestone payments when the cumulative supplied units’ volume is met. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $0 and $9,000, respectively, in net revenue for the sales of products related to this agreement, and no revenue was recognized for the sales-based milestones of the agreement.  
 
Orimed Pharma Agreement
 
On September 18, 2014, we entered into a twenty-year exclusive license agreement with Orimed Pharma (“Orimed”), an affiliate of JAMP Pharma, under which we granted to Orimed an exclusive license to market and sell in Canada Zestra®, Zestra Glide®, our topical treatment for premature ejaculation EjectDelay® and our product Sensum+® to increase penile sensitivity.
 
Under the agreement, we received an upfront payment of $100,000 and are eligible to receive additional consideration upon and subject to the achievement of sales milestones based on cumulative gross sales in Canada by Orimed plus double-digit tiered royalties based on Orimed’s cumulative net sales in Canada. We believe the amount of the upfront payment received is reasonable compared to the amounts to be received upon obtainment of future sales-based milestones.
 
As the sales-based milestones do not meet the definition of a milestone under ASC 605-28, we will recognize the revenue from the milestone payments when the cumulative gross sales volume is met. We will recognize the revenue from the royalty payments on a quarterly basis when the cumulative net sales have been met.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, under this agreement we recognized $0 and $56,103, respectively, in net revenue for the sales of products and no revenue was recognized for the sales-based milestones.
 
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS
 
Acquisition of Assets of Beyond Human® in 2016
 
On February 8, 2016, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”), pursuant to which we agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of Beyond Human® (the “Acquisition”) for a total cash payment of up to $662,500 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was payable in the following manner:  (1) $300,000 in cash at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Initial Payment”), (2) $100,000 in cash four months from the closing upon the occurrence of certain milestones as described in the APA, (3) $100,000 in cash eight months from the closing upon the occurrence of certain milestones as described in the APA, and (4) $130,000 in cash in twelve months from the closing upon the occurrence of certain milestones as described in the APA.  An additional $32,500 in cash is due if certain milestones occur twelve months from closing.  The transaction closed on March 1, 2016. On September 6, 2016, the Company and the sellers entered into an agreement in which we agreed to pay the sellers $150,000 to settle the contingent consideration payments totaling up to $362,500 under the APA. The settlement agreement was not contemplated at the time of the acquisition and the fair value of the contingent consideration on the date of settlement was $330,000. As a result, we recorded a non-cash gain on contingent consideration of $180,000 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Acquisition of Novalere in 2015
 
On February 5, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Innovus, Innovus Pharma Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovus (“Merger Subsidiary I”), Innovus Pharma Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovus (“Merger Subsidiary II”), Novalere FP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Novalere FP”) and Novalere Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Novalere Holdings”), as representative of the shareholders of Novalere (the “Novalere Stockholders”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary I merged into Novalere and then Novalere merged with and into Merger Subsidiary II (the “Merger”), with Merger Subsidiary II surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovus. Pursuant to the articles of merger effectuating the Merger, Merger Subsidiary II changed its name to Novalere, Inc.
 
With the Merger, we acquired the worldwide rights to market and sell the FlutiCare™ brand (fluticasone propionate nasal spray) and the related third-party manufacturing agreement for the manufacturing of FlutiCare(“Acquisition Manufacturer”) from Novalere FP. Due to the delay in approval of the Acquisition Manufacturer’s OTC ANDA by the FDA, in May 2017, we announced a commercial relationship with WWPIL who has an FDA approved OTC ANDA for fluticasone propionate nasal spray under which they have agreed to manufacture our FlutiCare™ OTC product for sale in the U.S. (see Note 9). We currently still anticipate that the OTC ANDA filed in November 2014 by the Acquisition Manufacturer with the FDA may be approved in 2017. As we hold the worldwide rights to market and sell FlutiCareunder the manufacturing agreement with the Acquisition Manufacturer, we believe the agreement with the Acquisition Manufacturer will still provide us with the opportunity to market and sell FlutiCareex-U.S. and, if the OTC ANDA is approved by the FDA, a second source of supply within the U.S., if ever needed.  
 
The Novalere Stockholders are entitled to receive, if and when earned, earn-out payments (the “Earn-Out Payments”). For every $5.0 million in Net Revenue (as defined in the Merger Agreement) realized from the sales of FlutiCare™ through the manufacturing agreement with the Acquisition Manufacturer, the Novalere Stockholders will be entitled to receive, on a pro rata basis, $500,000, subject to cumulative maximum Earn-Out Payments of $2.5 million. The Novalere Stockholders are only entitled to the Earn-Out Payments from the Acquisition Manufacturer’s OTC ANDA under review by the FDA and have no earn-out rights to the sales of FlutiCare™ supplied by WWPIL under the commercial agreement entered into in May 2017.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, there was a decrease in the estimated fair value of the remaining 138,859 ANDA consideration shares totaling $20,107 (see below) which is included in fair value adjustment for contingent consideration in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. There was no change to the estimated fair value of the future earn-out payments of $1,248,125 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and there was no change to the estimate fair value of the contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2016. 
 
On November 12, 2016, we entered into an Amendment and Supplement to a Registration Rights and Stock Restriction Agreement (the "Agreement") with Novalere Holdings pursuant to which we agreed to issue 12,808,796 shares of our common stock (the “Novalere Shares”) that were issuable pursuant to agreement upon the approval of the Acquisition Manufacturer’s OTC ANDA for fluticasone propionate nasal spray by the FDA. In connection with the issuance of the Novalere Shares, Novalere Holdings also agreed to certain restrictions, and to an extension in the date to register the Novalere Shares and all other shares of our common stock held by Novalere Holdings until the second quarter of 2017. In the event a registration statement to register the Novalere Shares was not filed by February 1, 2017, and did not become effective by May 15, 2017, we would have been required to issue additional shares of common stock as a penalty to Novalere Holdings equal to 10% of the total shares to be registered of 25,617,592. We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 on February 1, 2017 to register the 25,617,592 shares of common stock issued to Novalere Holdings and the Form S-1 was declared effective on March 15, 2017. The remaining 138,859 ANDA consideration shares not issuable yet will be issued upon FDA approval of the ANDA filed by the Acquisition Manufacturer and the estimated fair value of such remaining shares of $12,108 is included in contingent consideration in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017.

Purchase of Semprae Laboratories, Inc. in 2013
 
On December 24, 2013 (the “Semprae Closing Date”), we, through Merger Sub, obtained 100% of the outstanding shares of Semprae in exchange for the issuance of 3,201,776 shares of our common stock, which shares represented 15% of our total issued and outstanding shares as of the close of business on the Closing Date, whereupon Merger Sub was renamed Semprae Laboratories, Inc. We agreed to pay the former shareholders an annual royalty (“Royalty”) equal to 5% of the net sales from Zestra® and Zestra Glide® and any second generation products derived primarily therefrom (“Target Products”) up until the time that a generic version of such Target Product is introduced worldwide by a third party.
 
The agreement to pay the annual Royalty resulted in the recognition of a contingent consideration, which is recognized at the inception of the transaction, and subsequent changes to estimate of the amounts of contingent consideration to be paid will be recognized as charges or credits in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration is based on preliminary cash flow projections, growth in expected product sales and other assumptions. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, no amounts have been paid under this arrangement.  The fair value of the expected royalties to be paid was decreased by $7,067 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which is included in the fair value adjustment for contingent consideration in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $398,509 and $405,577 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, based on the new estimated fair value of the consideration.

February 2016 Note Payable
 
On February 24, 2016, the Company and SBI Investments, LLC, 2014-1 (“SBI”) entered into an agreement in which SBI loaned us gross proceeds of $550,000 pursuant to a purchase agreement, 20% secured promissory note and security agreement (“February 2016 Note Payable”), all dated February 19, 2016 (collectively, the “Finance Agreements”), to purchase substantially all of the assets of Beyond Human® (see Note 3).  Of the $550,000 gross proceeds, $300,000 was paid into an escrow account held by a third party bank and was released to Beyond Human® upon closing of the transaction, $242,500 was provided directly to us for use in building the Beyond Human® business and $7,500 was provided for attorneys’ fees.  The attorneys’ fees were recorded as a discount to the carrying value of the February 2016 Note Payable.
 
Pursuant to the Finance Agreements, the principal amount of the February 2016 Note Payable is $550,000 and the interest rate thereon is 20% per annum.  We began to pay principal and interest on the February 2016 Note Payable on a monthly basis beginning on March 19, 2016 for a period of 24 months and the monthly mandatory principal and interest payment amount thereunder is $28,209. The monthly amount shall be paid by us through a deposit account control agreement with a third-party bank in which SBI shall be permitted to take the monthly mandatory payment amount from all revenue received by us from the Beyond Human® assets in the transaction.  The maturity date for the February 2016 Note Payable is February 19, 2018.
 
The February 2016 Note Payable is secured by SBI through a first priority secured interest in all of the Beyond Human® assets acquired by us in the transaction including all revenue received by us from these assets
 
December 2016 and January 2017 Notes Payable
 
On December 5, 2016 and January 19, 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with three unrelated third-party investors in which the investors loaned us gross proceeds of $500,000 in December 2016 and $150,000 in January 2017 pursuant to a 5% promissory note (“December 2016 & January 2017 Notes Payable”).  The notes have an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) of $65,000 and require payment of $715,000 in principal upon maturity. The December 2016 & January 2017 Notes Payable bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal amount and interest are payable at maturity on October 4, 2017 and November 18, 2017 for those received in December 2016 and January 2017, respectively.
 
In connection with the December 2016 & January 2017 Notes Payable, we issued the investors restricted shares of common stock totaling 1,111,111 in December 2016 and 330,000 in January 2017.  The fair value of the restricted shares of common stock issued was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance of the December 2016 & January 2017 Notes Payable.  The allocation of the proceeds received to the restricted shares of common stock based on their relative fair value and the OID resulted in us recording a debt discount of $182,203 in December 2016 and $44,217 in January 2017. The discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the December 2016 & January 2017 Notes Payable.
 
Interest Expense
 
We recognized interest expense on notes payable of $25,057 and $11,365 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Amortization of the debt discount to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 totaled $82,826 and $469, respectively.

In the second and third quarter of 2016, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with eight accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we received aggregate gross proceeds of $3.0 million (net of OID) pursuant to which we sold: 
 
Nine convertible promissory notes of the Company totaling $3,303,889 (each a “2016 Note” and collectively the “2016 Notes”) (the 2016 Notes were sold at a 10% OID and we received an aggregate total of $2,657,500 in funds thereunder after debt issuance costs of $342,500). The 2016 Notes and accrued interest were convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share, with certain adjustment provisions. The maturity date of the 2016 Notes issued on June 30, 2016 and July 15, 2016 was July 30, 2017 and the maturity date of the 2016 Notes issued on July 25, 2016 was August 25, 2017. The 2016 Notes bore interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum from the date of issuance until the same became due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. We had the ability to prepay the 2016 Notes at any time on the terms set forth in the 2016 Notes at the rate of 110% of the then outstanding balance of the 2016 Notes.
 
The fair value of the restricted shares of common stock issued to Investors in 2016 was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance of the 2016 Notes.  The allocation of the proceeds to the warrants and restricted shares of common stock based on their relative fair values resulted in us recording a debt discount. We also determined that the embedded conversion features in the 2016 Notes were a derivative instrument which was required to be bifurcated from the debt host contract and recorded at fair value as a derivative liability.  The fair value of the embedded conversion features was determined using a Path-Dependent Monte Carlo Simulation Model (see Note 8 for assumptions used to calculate fair value). The initial fair value of the embedded conversion features was recorded as a debt discount with the amount in excess of the proceeds allocated to the debt, after the allocation of debt proceeds to the debt issuance costs, being immediately expensed and recorded as interest expense in 2016.   
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, certain of the 2016 Notes holders elected to convert principal and interest outstanding of $350,610 into 1,402,440 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.25 per share (see Note 7).  As a result of the conversion of the principal and interest balance into shares of common stock, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature derivative liabilities of $203,630 on the date of conversion was reclassified to additional paid-in capital (see Note 8) and the amortization of the debt discount was accelerated for the amount converted and recorded to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
 
As a result of the completion of a public equity offering in March 2017 (see Note 7), we were required to prepay the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of the 2016 Notes with the cash proceeds received from such offering. The outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of $1,272,469 was repaid in March 2017, as well as, a 10% prepayment penalty of $127,247. Due to the acceleration of repayment of the 2016 Notes as a result of the public equity offering, the transaction was recorded as a debt extinguishment and the 10% prepayment penalty of $127,247 and the remaining unamortized debt discount as of the date of repayment of $415,682 were recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The repayment of the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of the 2016 Notes resulted in the extinguishment of the embedded conversion feature derivative liability and thus the fair value as of the date of repayment of $238,101 was recorded as a reduction to the loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
 
Interest Expense
 
We recognized interest expense on the 2016 Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $19,544. The debt discount recorded for the 2016 Notes were being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2016 Notes using the effective interest method.  Total amortization of the debt discount on the 2016 Notes to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $430,048.
 
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Related Party Borrowings
 
There were certain related party borrowings to our current President and Chief Executive Officer that were repaid in full during 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $1,833 for accrued interest on the then outstanding line of credit convertible debenture balance with our current President and Chief Executive Officer and repaid $42,500 of principal. We recognized interest expense on the outstanding debentures to a related party totaling $8,362 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Amortization of the debt discount to interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $10,271.

Accrued employee wages at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are entirely related to wages owed to our President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of his employment agreement, wages are to be accrued but no payment made for so long as payment of such salary would jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. The President and Chief Executive Officer started to receive payment of salary in July 2016. It was determined by our Board of Directors that deferred salary of $463,167 would be paid to our current President and Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2017 to assist in paying the statutory personal tax withholding on the shares of common stock he received in 2016 for his vested restricted stock units. As a result, the deferred salary amount and related employer taxes totaling $495,589 has been classified as current. The payment of such deferred salary would not jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. Our President and Chief Executive Officer has agreed to not receive payment on the remaining accrued wages and related payroll tax amounts within the next 12 months and thus the remaining balance is classified as a long-term liability. In the second quarter of 2017, our Board of Directors approved for payment the accrued fiscal year 2016 bonus of $33,442 to our former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in accordance with his employment agreement.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Capital Stock
 
We have 292,500,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share which were increased in November 2016 upon approval from our stockholders from 150,000,000 authorized shares. In November 2016, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to authorize a class of undesignated or "blank check" preferred stock, consisting of 7,500,000 shares at $0.001 par value per share. Shares of preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions to be fixed by the Board of Directors.
 
Issuances of Common Stock
 
Public Equity Offering
 
On March 21, 2017, we completed a sale of common stock and warrants under a registered public offering. The gross proceeds to us from the offering were $3,850,000, before underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses ($3,307,773 after underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses).
 
The public offering price per share of common stock sold was $0.15. Each investor who purchased a share of common stock in the offering received a five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share (“Series A Warrants”) and a one-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share (“Series B Warrants”). Under the terms of the offering, we issued 25,666,669 shares of common stock, Series A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,666,669 shares of common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,666,669 shares of common stock. The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants are exercisable immediately. We allocated the net proceeds received of $3,307,773 to the common stock, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants sold in the offering based on their relative fair values. The fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants was determined using Black-Scholes. Based on their relative fair values, we allocated net of proceeds of $1,593,233 to the common stock, $1,075,995 to the Series A Warrants and $638,545 to the Series B Warrants.
 
In connection with this offering, we issued to H.C. Wainwright & Co. (“HCW”), the underwriter in the offering, a warrant to purchase up to 1,283,333 shares of common stock and HCW received total cash consideration, including the reimbursement of public offering-related expenses, of $443,000. If such warrant is exercised, each share of common stock may be purchased at $0.1875 per share (125% of the price of the common stock sold in the offering), commencing on March 21, 2017 and expiring March 21, 2022. The fair value of the warrants issued to HCW totaled $129,755 and was determined using Black-Scholes. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as an offering cost but has no net impact to additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
In connection with this offering, the Company incurred $99,227 in other offering costs that have been offset against the proceeds from this offering.
 
Other Stock Issuances and Related Stock-Based Compensation
 
On August 23, 2016, we entered into a consulting agreement with a third party pursuant to which we agreed to issue 1,600,000 restricted shares of common stock, payable in four equal installments, in exchange for services to be rendered over the agreement which ends on August 23, 2017. The shares were considered fully-vested and non-refundable at the execution of the agreement. In 2016 we issued 800,000 shares of common stock and in February 2017 we issued a total of 400,000 shares of common stock under the agreement. The fair value of the shares issued in February 2017 of $180,000 was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of agreement. As a result of the shares being fully-vested at the execution of the agreement but payable in equal installments, we have recorded a liability for the fair value of the remaining 400,000 shares of common stock to be issued of $180,000 which is included in accounts payable and accrued expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017. Upon issuance of the remaining shares, we will reclassify the liability to common stock and additional paid-in-capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $180,000 in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and the remaining unamortized expense of $285,000 is included in prepaid expense and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017.
 
On September 1, 2016, we entered into a service agreement with a third party pursuant to which we agreed to issue, over the term of the agreement, 2,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services to be rendered. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued 670,000 shares under the agreement related to services provided and recognized the fair value of the shares issued of $123,615 in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The 670,000 shares of common stock vested on the date of issuance and the fair value of the shares of common stock was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of vesting. There are no more shares of common stock to be issued under this service agreement as of March 31, 2017.

The fair value of the shares issued of $69,575 was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of vesting.

The fair value of the shares issued of $14,640 was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of vesting. On January 19, 2017, we further amended the agreement to expand the scope of service performed by the consultant and as a result issued an additional 78,947 shares of fully vested common stock for services to be provided through June 16, 2017. The fair value of the shares issued of $15,000 was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of vesting. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $14,820 in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations and the remaining unamortized expense of $13,600 is included in prepaid expense and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017.
 
In January 2017, we issued 10,076 shares of common stock for services and recorded an expense of $2,000, which is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The 10,076 shares of common stock vested on the date of issuance and the fair value of the shares of common stock was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of vesting.
 
In January 2017, we issued 225,000 shares of common stock to CRI pursuant to the Amended CRI Asset Purchase Agreement (see Note 2) for the prepayment of future royalties due on net profit of Sensum+® in the U.S. in 2017.  The fair value of the restricted shares of common stock of $44,662 was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance and is included in prepaid expense and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017.
 
In January 2017, we issued 330,000 shares of restricted common stock to a note holder in connection with their note payable.  The relative fair value of the shares of restricted common stock issued was determined to be $44,217 and was recorded as a debt discount (see Note 5).
 
In March 2017, certain 2016 Notes holders elected to convert $350,610 in principal and interest into 1,402,440 shares of common stock (see Note 5). Upon conversion, the fair value of the embedded conversion feature derivative liability on the date of conversion was reclassified to additional paid-in capital (see Note 8).
 
In March 2017, we issued shares of common stock totaling 40,000 upon the exercise of stock options for total cash proceeds of $2,894.
 
2013 Equity Incentive Plan
 
We have issued common stock, restricted stock units and stock option awards to employees, non-executive directors and outside consultants under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”), which was approved by our Board of Directors in February of 2013. The 2013 Plan allows for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to be issued in the form of stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other share-based awards. The exercise price for all equity awards issued under the 2013 Plan is based on the fair market value of the common stock. Currently, because our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, the fair market value of the common stock is equal to the last-sale price reported by the OTCQB as of the date of determination, or if there were no sales on such date, on the last date preceding such date on which a sale was reported. Generally, each vested stock unit entitles the recipient to receive one share of our common stock which is eligible for settlement at the earliest of their termination, a change in control of us or a specified date. Restricted stock units can vest according to a schedule or immediately upon award. Stock options generally vest over a three-year period, first year cliff vesting with quarterly vesting thereafter on the three-year awards, and have a ten-year life. Stock options outstanding are subject to time-based vesting as described above and thus are not performance-based. As of March 31, 2017, no shares were available under the 2013 Plan.
 
2014 Equity Incentive Plan
 
We have issued common stock, restricted stock units and stock options to employees, non-executive directors and outside consultants under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), which was approved by our Board of Directors in November 2014. The 2014 Plan allows for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to be issued in the form of stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other share-based awards. The exercise price for all equity awards issued under the 2014 Plan is based on the fair market value of the common stock. Generally, each vested stock unit entitles the recipient to receive one share of our common stock which is eligible for settlement at the earliest of their termination, a change in control of us or a specified date. Restricted stock units can vest according to a schedule or immediately upon award. Stock options generally vest over a three-year period, first year cliff vesting with quarterly vesting thereafter on the three-year awards and have a ten-year life. Stock options outstanding are subject to time-based vesting as described above and thus are not performance-based. As of March 31, 2017, 58,367 shares were available under the 2014 Plan.

2016 Equity Incentive Plan
 
On March 21, 2016, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and on October 20, 2016 adopted the Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan was then approved by our stockholders in November 2016. The 2016 Plan allows for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to be issued in the form of stock options, stock awards, stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other share-based awards. The 2016 Plan includes an evergreen provision in which the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance and available for future grants under the 2016 Plan will be increased each January 1 after the effective date of the 2016 Plan by a number of shares of common stock equal to the lesser of: (a) 4% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on a fully-diluted basis as of the close of business on the immediately preceding December 31, or (b) a number of shares of common stock set by our Board of Directors. In March 2017, our Board of Directors approved an increase of 5,663,199 shares of common stock to the shares authorized under the 2016 Plan in accordance with the evergreen provision in the 2016 Plan. The exercise price for all equity awards issued under the 2016 Plan is based on the fair market value of the common stock. Generally, each vested stock unit entitles the recipient to receive one share of our common stock which is eligible for settlement at the earliest of their termination, a change in control of the us or a specified date. Restricted stock units can vest according to a schedule or immediately upon award. Stock options generally vest over a three-year period, first year cliff vesting with quarterly vesting thereafter on the three-year awards and have a ten-year life. Stock options outstanding are subject to time-based vesting as described above and thus are not performance-based. As of March 31, 2017, 19,420,168 shares were available under the 2016 Plan.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $225,172 and $524,633, respectively, for the issuance of restricted stock units and stock options to management, directors and consultants.  We calculate the fair value of the restricted stock units based upon the quoted market value of the common stock at the date of grant. We calculate the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using Black-Scholes. As of March 31, 2017, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations was approximately $1.2 million and will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average term of 2.6 years. 
 
Stock Options
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the following weighted average assumptions were utilized for the calculation of the fair value of the stock options granted during the period using Black-Scholes:
 
 
 
2017
 
 
2016
 
Expected life (in years)
  7.9 
  10.0 
Expected volatility
  217.9%
  226.72%
Average risk-free interest rate
  2.28%
  1.81%
Dividend yield
  0%
  0%
Grant date fair value
 $0.23 
 $0.16 
 
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the stock options. Expected life in years is based on the “simplified” method as permitted by ASC Topic 718. We believe that all stock options issued under its stock option plans meet the criteria of “plain vanilla” stock options. We use a term equal to the term of the stock options for all non-employee stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on average rates for treasury notes as published by the Federal Reserve in which the term of the rates correspond to the expected term of the stock options.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of all outstanding stock options and the quoted price of our common stock at March 31, 2017.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized stock-based compensation from stock options of $4,378 and $5,500, respectively. The intrinsic value of the stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017 on the date of exercise was $5,306.

The vested restricted stock units at March 31, 2017 have not settled and are not showing as issued and outstanding shares of ours but are considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations. Settlement of these vested restricted stock units will occur on the earliest of (i) the date of termination of service of the employee or consultant, (ii) change of control of us, or (iii) 10 years from date of issuance. Settlement of vested restricted stock units may be made in the form of (i) cash, (ii) shares, or (iii) any combination of both, as determined by the board of directors and is subject to certain criteria having been fulfilled by the recipient.
 
The grant date fair value of restricted stock units issued during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $432,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $220,794 and $519,133, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense for the vested units. As of March 31, 2017, compensation expense related to unvested shares not yet recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations was approximately $1.2 million and will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average term of 2.6 years.
 
Warrants
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we issued warrants in connection with notes payable (which were repaid in 2013). The remaining warrants of 135,816 have an exercise price of $0.10 and expire December 6, 2018.
 
In January 2015, we issued 250,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.30 per share to a former executive in connection with the January 2015 debenture. The warrants expire on January 21, 2020. The warrants contain anti-dilution protection, including protection upon dilutive issuances. In connection with the convertible debentures issued in 2015, the exercise price of these warrants was reduced to $0.0896 per share and an additional 586,705 warrants were issued per the anti-dilution protection afforded in the warrant agreement during the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
In connection with the convertible debentures in 2015, we issued warrants with an exercise price of $0.30 per share and expire in 2020 to investors and placement agents. Warrants to purchase 774,533 shares of common stock remain outstanding as of March 31, 2017.
 
In connection with the 2016 Notes, we issued warrants to the Investors and placement agents with an exercise price of $0.40 per share and expire in 2021. Warrants to purchase 4,220,000 shares of common stock remain outstanding as of March 31, 2017.
 
In connection with the public equity offering in March 2017, we issued Series A Warrants to purchase 25,666,669 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share and Series B Warrants to purchase 25,666,669 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share. The Series A Warrants expire in 2022 and the Series B Warrants expire in 2018. We also issued warrants to purchase 1,283,333 shares of common stock to our placement agent with an exercise price of $0.1875 per share and expire in 2022.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the following weighted average assumptions were utilized for the calculation of the fair value of the warrants issued during the period using Black-Scholes:

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
 
The warrants issued in connection with the January 2015 Non-Convertible Debenture to a former executive are measured at fair value and classified as a liability because these warrants contain anti-dilution protection and therefore, cannot be considered indexed to our own stock which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under FASB ASC 815. The estimated fair value of the warrants was determined using the Probability Weighted Black-Scholes Model. The fair value will be affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term and the risk-free interest rate. We will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability, whichever comes first. The anti-dilution protection for the warrants survives for the life of the warrants which ends in January 2020.
 
The derivative liabilities are a Level 3 fair value measure in the fair value hierarchy and the assumptions for the Probability Weighted Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are represented in the table below:

We have determined the embedded conversion features of the 2016 Notes (see Note 5) to be derivative liabilities because the terms of the embedded conversion features contained anti-dilution protection and therefore, could not be considered indexed to our own stock which was a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under FASB ASC 815.  The embedded conversion features were to be measured at fair value and classified as a liability with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings at the end of each reporting period.  We have determined the fair value of the derivative liabilities using a Path-Dependent Monte Carlo Simulation Model.  The fair value of the derivative liabilities using such model was affected by changes in inputs to that model and was based on the individual characteristics of the embedded conversion features on the valuation date as well as assumptions for volatility, remaining expected life, risk-free interest rate, credit spread, probability of default by us and acquisition of us.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the 2016 Notes were either converted into shares of common stock or repaid in full. The conversion of the 2016 Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 resulted in the fair value of the embedded conversion feature derivative liability on the dates of conversion of $203,630 to be reclassified to additional paid-in capital (see Note 7).  Upon repayment of the remaining 2016 Notes in March 2017 (see Note 5), the fair value of the embedded conversion features on date of repayment of $238,101 was extinguished and included in loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
In April 2017, we issued 18,349 shares of common stock to a consultant for services rendered. The fair value of the common stock issued was approximately $2,000.
 
In May 2017, we entered into a commercial agreement with West-Ward Pharmaceuticals International Limited (“WWPIL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC (“Hikma”) (LSE: HIK) (NASDAQ Dubai: HIK) (OTC: HKMPY). Pursuant to the commercial agreement, WWPIL will provide the Company with the rights to launch our branded, fluticasone propionate nasal spray USP, 50 mcg per spray (FlutiCare™), under WWPIL’s FDA approved ANDA No. 207957 in the U.S. in the second half of 2017. The initial term of the commercial agreement is for two years and upon expiration of the initial term, the agreement will automatically renew for subsequent one-year terms unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its desire not to renew at least 90 days prior to the end of the then current term.
 
We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures in the notes thereto other than as disclosed in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview
 
We are an emerging over-the-counter ("OTC") consumer goods and specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the commercialization, licensing and development of safe and effective non-prescription medicine and consumer care products to improve men’s and women’s health and vitality and respiratory diseases.  We deliver innovative and uniquely presented and packaged health solutions through our (a) OTC medicines and consumer and health products, which we market directly, (b) commercial partners to primary care physicians, urologists, gynecologists and therapists, and (c) directly to consumers through our on-line channels, retailers and wholesalers. We are dedicated to being a leader in developing and marketing new OTC and branded Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) products. We are actively pursuing opportunities where existing prescription drugs have recently, or are expected to, change from prescription (or Rx) to OTC. These “Rx-to-OTC switches” require Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval through a process initiated by the New Drug Application (“NDA”) holder.
 
Our business model leverages our ability to (a) develop and build our current pipeline of products and (b) to also acquire outright or in-license commercial products that are supported by scientific and/or clinical evidence, place them through our existing supply chain, retail and on-line (including Amazon®-based business platform) channels to tap new markets and drive demand for such products and to establish physician relationships. We currently have 18 products marketed in the U.S. with six of those being marketed and sold in multiple countries around the world through some of our 14 commercial partners. We currently expect to launch an additional six products in the U.S. in 2017 and we currently have approvals to launch certain of our already marketed products in 31 additional countries.

Our Strategy
 
Our corporate strategy focuses on two primary objectives:
 
1.
Developing a diversified product portfolio of exclusive, unique and patented non-prescription OTC and branded ANDA drugs and consumer health products through: (a) the introduction of line extensions and reformulations of either our or third-party currently marketed products; and (b) the acquisition of products or obtaining exclusive licensing rights to market such products; and
 
2.
Building an innovative, U.S. and global sales and marketing model through direct to consumer approaches such as our proprietary Beyond Human® sales and marketing platform, the addition of new online platforms such as Amazon® and commercial partnerships with established international complimentary partners that: (a) generates revenue, and (b) requires a lower cost structure compared to traditional pharmaceutical companies thereby increasing our gross margins.

Sales and Marketing Strategy U.S. and Internationally
 
Our sales and marketing strategy is based on (a) the use of direct to consumer advertisements in print and online media through our proprietary Beyond Human® sales and marketing infrastructure acquired in March 2016, (b) working with direct commercial channel partners in the U.S. and also directly marketing the products ourselves to physicians, urologists, gynecologists and therapists and to other healthcare providers, and (c) working with exclusive commercial partners outside of the U.S. that would be responsible for sales and marketing in those territories. We have now fully integrated most of our existing line of products such as Vesele®, Sensum+®, UriVarx™, Zestra®, and RecalMax™ into the Beyond Human® sales and marketing platform. We plan to integrate ProstaGorx™, Xyralid, AllerVarx™, AndroVit, UrocisXR; and FlutiCare™, subject to regulatory approvals, upon their expected commercial launches in 2017. We also market and distribute our products in the U.S. through retailers, wholesalers and other online channels. Our strategy outside the U.S. is to partner with companies who can effectively market and sell our products in their countries through their direct marketing and sales teams. The strategy of using our partners to commercialize our products is designed to limit our expenses and fix our cost structure, enabling us to increase our reach while minimizing our incremental spending.
 
Our current OTC monograph, Rx-to-OTC ANDA switch drugs and consumer care products marketing strategy is to focus on four main U.S. markets: (1) sexual health (male sexual dysfunction and health); (2) urology (bladder and prostate health); (3) respiratory disease; and (4) brain health. We will focus our current efforts on these four markets and will seek to develop, acquire or license products that we can sell through our sales channels in these fields.

Net Revenue
 
We recognized net revenue of approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $225,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in revenue in 2017 was primarily the result of the product sales generated through the sales and marketing platform acquired in the Beyond Human® asset acquisition in March 2016. The increase was also due to the launch of UriVarx at the end of the fourth quarter 2016 and an increase in sales of Vesele® and Sensum+® which generated net revenue of approximately $527,000, $982,000 and $372,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, respectively, compared to approximately $0, $1,000 and $8,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in net revenue from the sale of products through the Beyond Human® sales and marketing platform was offset by decreases in our other existing product sales channels to major retailers and wholesalers as we concentrated our sales efforts and resources on integrating our existing products into the Beyond Human® sales and marketing platform. The decreases in existing product sales channels resulted in net revenue from the Zestra® products decreasing approximately $50,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016. We signed an exclusive license and distribution agreement in November 2016 for the sale of Zestra® and Zestra Glide® in South Korea and, in March 2017, we shipped the initial order under such agreement resulting in net revenue of $60,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. This agreement is expected to lead to an increase in product sales of Zestra® and Zestra Glide® through that sales channel in 2017.
 
Cost of Product Sales
 
We recognized cost of product sales of approximately $440,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The cost of product sales includes the cost of inventory, shipping and royalties. The increase in cost of product sales is a result of higher shipping costs due to an increase in the number of units shipped.  The increase in the gross margin to 80% in 2017 compared to 47% in 2016 is due to the higher margins earned on the increased volume of our product sales through the Beyond Human® sales and marketing platform. The increased margin in 2017 is also due to fewer sales when compared to 2016 through our retail and wholesale sales channels which have lower margins.
 
Research and Development
 
We recognized research and development expense of approximately $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to no expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The research and development expense includes salary and the related health benefits for an employee who was terminated in January 2017.

Sales and Marketing
 
We recognized sales and marketing expense of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Sales and marketing expense of $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 consist primarily of print advertisements and sales and marketing support. The increase in sales and marketing expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017 when compared to the same period in 2016 is due to the increase in the number of print and online media advertisements of our existing products through the Beyond Human® platform, as well as, the costs of our third-party customer service call center due to the higher volume of sales orders received as a result of the Beyond Human® asset acquisition.
 
General and Administrative
 
We recognized general and administrative expense of approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. General and administrative expense consists primarily of investor relation expense, legal, accounting, public reporting costs and other infrastructure expense related to the launch of our products.  Additionally, our general and administrative expense includes professional fees, insurance premiums and general corporate expense. The increase is primarily due to the increase in merchant processing fees due to increased credit card sales volume and increased payroll and related costs due to the increase in headcount when compared to 2016. The increase was offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation to employees, directors and consultants of approximately $159,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 2016. 
 
Other Income and Expense
 
We recognized interest expense of approximately $557,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $391,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Interest expense primarily includes interest related to our debt and amortization of debt discounts (see Note 5 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report). Due to the shares, warrants and cash discounts provided to our lenders, the effective interest rate is significantly higher than the coupon rate. The increase in interest expense reflects the larger amount of debt discount amortization of approximately $142,000 when compared to 2016 due to the convertible debt and note payable financings completed in 2016.
 
We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $305,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The loss on debt extinguishment was the result of the required prepayment of the 2016 Notes from the cash proceeds received through the public equity offering in March 2017. Under the terms of the 2016 Notes, we were required to prepay the outstanding principal and interest of the convertible debentures with the cash proceeds received from an equity offering with an offering price less than the current conversion price of the debentures of $0.25 per share, as well as, incur a 10% prepayment penalty. As a result of the prepayment, the remaining unamortized debt discount of approximately $416,000, the prepayment penalty of $127,000 and the extinguishment of the embedded conversion feature derivative liability of $238,000 were recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
 
We recognized a gain from the fair value adjustment for contingent consideration of approximately $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a loss of $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Fair value adjustment for contingent consideration consists primarily of the decrease in the fair value of the remaining contingent ANDA shares of common stock issuable to individual members of Novalere Holdings, LLC in connection with our acquisition in 2015 totaling approximately $20,000 and the decrease in the royalty contingent consideration to Semprae of approximately $7,000 (see Note 3 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report).
 
We recognized a loss from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared a gain from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Change in fair value of derivative liabilities primarily includes the change in the fair value of the warrants and embedded conversion features classified as derivative liabilities. The loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is primarily due to the increase in our stock price from December 31, 2016 through the date of conversion of certain of the convertible debentures in 2017 which resulted in the fair value of the embedded conversion features at the conversion date to be higher than the fair value at December 31, 2016.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was approximately $(2.5 million) or $(0.02) basic and diluted net loss per share compared to a net loss for the same period in 2016 of $(1.6 million) or $(0.02) basic and diluted net loss per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Historically, we have funded losses from operations through the sale of equity and issuance of debt instruments. Combined with revenue, these funds have provided us with the resources to operate our business, to sell and support our products, attract and retain key personnel, and add new products to our portfolio. To date, we have experienced net losses each year since our inception. As of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $31.7 million and a working capital deficit of $138,000.
 
As of April 30, 2017, we had approximately $2.0 million in cash and $25,000 of cash collections held by our third-party merchant service provider, which is expected to be remitted to us in May 2017. Although no assurances can be given, we may raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities. We expect, however, that our existing capital resources, revenue from sales of our products and upcoming new product launches and sales milestone payments from the commercial partners signed for our products, and equity instruments available to pay certain vendors and consultants, will be sufficient to allow us to continue our operations, commence the product development process and launch selected products through at least the next 12 months. In addition, our CEO, who is also a significant shareholder, has deferred the remaining payment of his salary earned thru June 30, 2016 totaling $1,036,315 for at least the next 12 months.  
 
Our actual needs will depend on numerous factors, including timing of introducing our products to the marketplace, our ability to attract additional Ex-U.S. distributors for our products and our ability to in-license in non-partnered territories and/or develop new product candidates. In addition, we continue to seek new licensing agreements from third-party vendors to commercialize our products in territories outside the U.S., which could result in upfront, milestone, royalty and/or other payments.
 
We may raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities to provide additional working capital, for further expansion and development of our business, and to meet current obligations, although no assurances can be given. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have more favorable terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise funds by incurring additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expense and our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization may increase. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming they would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as financial and operating covenants. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expense and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expense in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results. We may be unable to obtain financing when necessary as a result of, among other things, our performance, general economic conditions, conditions in the pharmaceuticals industries, or our operating history. In addition, the fact that we are not and have never been profitable could further impact the availability or cost to us of future financings. As a result, sufficient funds may not be available when needed from any source or, if available, such funds may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital needs when needed, then we may need to forego pursuit of potentially valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan, which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing and other activities, or we may be forced to discontinue our operations entirely.
 
The Company’s principle debt instruments include the following:
 
February 2016 Note Payable
 
On February 24, 2016, the Company and SBI Investments, LLC, 2014-1 (“SBI”) entered into an agreement in which SBI loaned us gross proceeds of $550,000 pursuant to a purchase agreement, 20% secured promissory note and security agreement (“February 2016 Note Payable”), all dated February 19, 2016 (collectively, the “Finance Agreements”). Pursuant to the Finance Agreements, the principal amount of the February 2016 Note Payable was $550,000 and the interest rate thereon is 20% per annum.  We began to pay principal and interest on the February 2016 Note Payable on a monthly basis beginning on March 19, 2016 for a period of 24 months and the monthly mandatory principal and interest payment amount thereunder is $28,209. The monthly amount shall be paid by us through a deposit account control agreement with a third-party bank in which SBI shall be permitted to take the monthly mandatory payment amount from all revenue received by us from the Beyond Human® assets in the transaction.  The maturity date for the February 2016 Note Payable is February 19, 2018. The February 2016 Note Payable is secured by SBI through a first priority secured interest in all of the Beyond Human® assets acquired by us in the transaction including all revenue received by us from these assets. The principal balance of the February 2016 Note Payable as of March 31, 2017 is $280,310.

December 2016 and January 2017 Notes Payable
 
On December 5, 2016 and January 19, 2017, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with three unrelated third-party investors in which the investors loaned us gross proceeds of $650,000 pursuant to 5% promissory notes.  The notes have an OID of $65,000 and requires payment of $715,000 in principal upon maturity. The notes bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and the principal amount and interest are payable at maturity on October 4, 2017 and November 18, 2017. In connection with the notes, we issued the investors restricted shares of common stock totaling 1,441,111.  The fair value of the restricted shares of common stock issued was based on the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance of the notes.

Operating Activities
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, cash used in operating activities was approximately $496,000, consisting primarily of the net loss for the period of approximately $2.5 million, which was primarily offset by non-cash common stock, restricted stock units and stock options issued for services and compensation of approximately $580,000, amortization of debt discount of $513,000, loss on debt extinguishment of $305,000, change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $52,000 and amortization of intangible assets of $158,000. The non-cash expense was offset with the gain on change in fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $27,000. Additionally, working capital changes consisted of cash increases of approximately $465,000 related to a decrease in accounts receivable from cash collections from customers of approximately $16,000, $187,000 related to an increase in accrued compensation, $120,000 related to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expense, $101,000 related to a decrease in prepaid expense and other current assets, and $63,000 related to a decrease in inventories, partially offset by a cash decrease related to accrued interest of $22,000. The increase in net cash used in operating activities from 2016 was mainly due to expanding our operations, including hiring additional personnel, commercialization and marketing activities related to our existing products and those acquired in 2016.
 
Investing Activities
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, cash used in investing activities was approximately $2,000 which consisted of the purchase of property and equipment compared to $7,000 for 2016.
 
Financing Activities
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.0 million, consisting primarily of the net proceeds from the public equity offering of $3.3 million and notes payable of $150,000, offset by the repayment of convertible debentures of approximately $1.2 million, notes payable of $68,000 and the prepayment penalty on the repayment of the convertible debentures of $127,000.  Cash provided by financing activities in 2016 was primarily related to net proceeds from notes payable and convertible debentures of approximately $243,000 and proceeds from short-term loans payable of $10,000, offset by the repayment of notes payable and short-term loans payable of $122,000 and related-party line of credit convertible debenture of $43,000. 
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 and, as a result, the prepayment penalty of $127,247 in connection with the extinguishment of the 2016 Notes (see Note 5 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements) in March 2017 is classified as a financing cash outflow in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures and had no other impact to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, there were no other material changes to the “Critical Accounting Policies” discussed in Part II, Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31 2016.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
As of March 31, 2017, we evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")).
 
Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including chief executive officer and vice president, finance, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure control and procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
