NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” “Apyx,” and similar terms refer to Apyx Medical Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We are an advanced energy technology company with a passion for elevating people’s lives through innovative products in the cosmetic and surgical markets. Known for our innovative Helium Plasma Technology, Apyx is solely focused on bringing transformative solutions to the physicians and patients it serves. Our Helium Plasma Technology is marketed and sold as Renuvion® in the cosmetic surgery market and J-Plasma® in the hospital surgical market. Renuvion® offers plastic surgeons, fascial plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians a unique ability to provide controlled heat to the tissue to achieve their desired results. The J-Plasma® system allows surgeons to operate with a high level of precision and virtually eliminating unintended tissue trauma. We also leverage our deep expertise and decades of experience in unique waveforms through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19"), as a pandemic. This pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes. The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business continues to be highly uncertain and difficult to predict as the environment created by the pandemic is rapidly changing. Starting in late February, the effects of the pandemic have been material and adverse on our business. While we experienced positive indications in our business late in the second quarter, we continue to expect that the severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on our customers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Most of the procedures performed using our Helium Plasma Technology are elective, and as a result many of our customers have been affected by the actions taken by various governmental authorities requiring non-essential businesses to shut down temporarily. As these shut-downs have begun to be reversed, we have started to see an increase in demand for elective cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, resulting in higher than expected revenues in our Advanced Energy segment. In international markets, a greater portion of these procedures are performed in a hospital, and it is less certain when elective procedures will fully return to normal.. While we started to experience a significant decline in sales towards the end of our first fiscal quarter, we began to see an increase in sales towards the end of our second fiscal quarter as local jurisdictions started to re-open. However, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely impact the Company's future financial position, liquidity, or results of operations remains uncertain. While we began to experience an improvement in sales, domestically and internationally, towards the end of our second fiscal quarter, the pace at which this continues into the third quarter and beyond is still highly uncertain.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of consolidated operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

NOTE 2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
During 2019, we began granting stock option awards deeper within the organization. We do not have sufficient experience with grants to these employees and we have experienced challenges in developing reliable forfeiture estimates at the grant date. Accounting for revising the forfeiture estimates has been burdensome. Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, prescribes two methods for accounting for forfeitures on stock option awards, either the estimation method utilized by the Company previously, or by accounting for forfeitures as they occur. On January 1, 2020 we made an accounting policy election change and began accounting for forfeitures on stock option awards using actual forfeitures. This accounting policy election change was made on a retrospective basis. However, the changes to the current and prior periods were determined to be immaterial and there have been no changes to previously reported results as a result of the change.
NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update, as originally issued, was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates, which deferred the effective dates of these standards for Smaller Reporting Companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company currently expects to continue to qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company, based upon the current SEC definition, and as a result, will be utilizing the deferred elective date. While we are in the process of determining the effects of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements, we do not expect the impact to be material.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The purpose of this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. It eliminates the need for entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under this ASU, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2020. The amendment did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 4. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable values. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Factory overhead costs are primarily allocated to inventory manufactured in-house based upon labor hours.
Inventories consisted of the following:

(In thousands) | June 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Raw materials | $ | 2,441 |  |  | $ | 2,935 |
Work in process | 1,504 |  |  | 1,209 |
Finished goods | 1,997 |  |  | 1,316 |
Gross inventories | 5,942 |  |  | 5,460 |
Less: provision for obsolescence | (685 | ) |  | (392 | )
Inventories, net | $ | 5,257 |  |  | $ | 5,068 |

During the second fiscal quarter, we reassessed our forecasted product mix due to COVID-19, increased availability of our newer handpiece designs and earlier than expected completion of product registrations in some of our foreign markets. As a result, certain products were reduced to a lower carrying value, and some components were also written off as it was determined to cease further production on these models. The total associated impairment was approximately $400,000 and is included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
NOTE 5. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILTIES
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period adjusted for other units required to be included in basic EPS. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding. As we are in a net loss position for all periods presented, all potential shares outstanding are anti-dilutive. The following table provides the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Under our stock option plans, our board of directors may grant restricted stock and options to purchase common shares to our employees, officers, directors and consultants. We account for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, with stock-based compensation expense amortized over the vesting period based on the fair value on the grant date utilizing a trinomial lattice model through 2018 and the Black Scholes model for grants in 2019 and 2020, both of which include a number of estimates that affect the amount of our expense.
We recognized approximately $1,097,000 and $2,146,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with $856,000 and $2,051,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The status of our stock options are summarized as follows:

| Number of options |  | Weighted average exercise price
Outstanding at December 31, 2019 | 3,966,858 |  |  | $ | 4.67 |
Granted | 1,274,900 |  |  | 8.18 |
Exercised | (44,381 | ) |  | 3.23 |
Canceled and forfeited | (211,433 | ) |  | 7.51 |
Outstanding at June 30, 2020 | 4,985,944 |  |  | $ | 5.46 |

We allow stock option holders to exercise stock-based awards by surrendering stock-based awards with a fair value of the stock-based awards exercised, referred to as net settlements. These surrenders are included in stock options exercised in the options rollforward above. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we received 11,085 and 7,779 options as payment in the exercise of 17,665 and 17,221 options. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we received 13,009 and 91,598 options as payment in the exercise of 22,027 and 185,951 options.
Common shares required to be issued upon the exercise of stock options would be issued from our authorized and unissued shares. We calculated the fair value of issued options utilizing a Black Scholes model with an expected life calculated via the simplified method as we do not have sufficient history to determine actual expected life.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act to provide relief from COVID-19. The CARES Act includes a provision that allows companies to carryback net operating losses (NOL’s) generated in the period 2018 through 2020 to prior years. In conjunction with the disposition of the Core business in 2018, we generated a significant amount of taxable income in 2018. Subsequent to this, we generated net losses in 2019 and through the first half of 2020. For the net losses generated in 2019, we previously recorded a valuation allowance on the full value of the deferred tax assets associated with our NOL carryforwards due to realization of the NOL being improbable under then existing tax law. The CARES Act makes these assets realizable, and as of the date of the CARES Act, we have recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $3.7 million associated with the release of the valuation allowance on our Federal NOL carryforward related to 2019. We also recognized income tax benefits of

(Unaudited)
approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million, related to our net loss before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. There are approximately an additional $3.2 million of 2018 Federal income tax payments available to offset against any other 2020 losses that may be incurred.
Our income tax (benefit) expense was approximately $(1,492,000) and $76,000 with an effective tax rate of 24.1% and (1.8)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our income tax (benefit) expense was approximately $(6,397,000) and $82,000 with an effective tax rate of 49.1% and (0.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on our net operating loss carryforward from 2019.
The following is a roll-forward of the Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest and penalties, for the period ended June 30, 2020.

(in thousands) | Gross Unrealized Tax Benefits
Balance at January 1, 2020 | $ | 1,313 |
Additions of tax positions related to the current year | — |
Additions of tax positions related to the prior year | — |
Decreases for tax positions related to the prior year | — |
Balance at June 30, 2020 | $ | 1,313 |

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $260,000 in accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Included in the income tax benefit for the three months and six ended June 30, 2020, respectively are approximately $43,000 and $82,000 of interest and penalties on the Company's uncertain tax positions. If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, the resulting impact will be material as the Company will recognize approximately $1,573,000 of tax benefits in the provision of income taxes. It is expected that all of the uncertain tax positions should be resolved by October 2022.
NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and we are and may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Such claims may include claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, claims concerning the marketing and promotion of our products and product liability claims.
We are involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our Helium Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. We believe that such claims are adequately covered by insurance; however, in the case of one of our carriers, we are in a dispute regarding the total level of coverage available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses and such claims are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on our financial condition. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policies or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
On April 17, 2019, a complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, against the Company and Charles D. Goodwin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, alleging certain violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On July 16, 2019, the Court appointed lead plaintiff for the putative class and approved the lead plaintiff’s selection of counsel. On September 3, 2019, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) with the Court.
The Amended Complaint seeks class action status on behalf of all persons and entities that acquired the Company’s securities between December 21, 2018 and April 1, 2019, and alleges violations by the Company and Goodwin of Sections 10(b) and 20(a)

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, primarily related to certain public statements concerning the Premarket Notification 510(k) submission made to the US Food and Drug Administration for a new indication for the Company’s J-Plasma® technology for use in dermal resurfacing procedures. On October 3, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint, and on March 11, 2020, the Court denied that motion. On July 10, 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement, which is subject to Court approval. The Court preliminarily approved the settlement on July 21, 2020. The settlement agreement provides for the dismissal of the action with prejudice. At June 30, 2020, approximately $670,000 of the $1,000,000 insurance deductible is unpaid and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During July 2020, substantially all of the unpaid deductible was paid.
We accrue a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Purchase Commitments
At June 30, 2020, we had purchase commitments totaling approximately $500,000 substantially all of which is expected to be purchased within the next six months.
China Joint Venture
In late 2019, we executed a joint venture agreement with our Chinese supplier. The agreement requires the Company to make a capital contribution into the newly formed entity of approximately $360,000. During July 2020, we funded approximately $150,000 of the commitment. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the joint venture has not commenced principal operations.

NOTE 10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Several relatives of Nikolay Shilev, Apyx Bulgaria’s Managing Director, are considered related parties. Teodora Shileva, Mr. Shilev’s spouse, is an employee of the Company working in the accounting department. Antoaneta Dimitrova Shileva-Toromanova, Mr. Shilev’s sister, is the Manager of Production and Human Resources. Svetoslav Shilev, Mr. Shilev’s son, is an engineer in the quality assurance department.
In addition, as part of the purchase of the Bulgaria manufacturing facility, Mr. Shilev was issued a note payable for $140,000 to be paid 5 years after the original purchase date, which is in October 2020.
The partner in our China joint venture is also a supplier of the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we made purchases from this supplier of approximately $850,000. At June 30, 2020, we owed this supplier approximately $4,000.
NOTE 11. GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. Asset information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker by segment and is not available by segment, accordingly, we have not presented a measure of assets by segment.
Our reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as two operating segments: Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which were not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred.

Executive Level Overview
We are an advanced energy technology company with a passion for elevating people’s lives through innovative products in the cosmetic and surgical markets. Known for our innovative Helium Plasma Technology, Apyx is solely focused on bringing transformative solutions to the physicians and patients it serves. Our Helium Plasma Technology is marketed and sold as Renuvion® in the cosmetic surgery market and J-Plasma® in the hospital surgical market. Renuvion® offers plastic surgeons, fascial plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians a unique ability to provide controlled heat to the tissue to achieve their desired results. The J-Plasma® system allows surgeons to operate with a high level of precision and virtually eliminating unintended tissue trauma. We also leverage our deep expertise and decades of experience in unique waveforms through original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers.
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in China and has subsequently been recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 outbreak has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes. Temporary closures of businesses have been ordered and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily. As of the date of this filing, there are strong indications that these actions are beginning to subside as governmental bodies begin to loosen restrictions. However, given the variability in measures taken, the uncertainty among any potential resurgence of COVID-19, and patients willingness to undergo elective procedures, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As a result, there could continue to be significant adverse impacts to the results of our operations into the third fiscal quarter and possibly beyond.
Prior to the spread of COVID-19 into the US and international markets, we experienced positive year-over-year growth trends in the sale of our capital and disposable products, indicating increased utilization of our technology. Beginning in late February we began to see declines in the sale of our Helium Plasma Technology in European markets. These declines continued and also spread to the North and Latin American markets in March. Towards the end of the second quarter, we began to see improved demand for our products, primarily in the US market, however the extent of this improvement remains uncertain.
We source the components used in our products from a variety of suppliers and we have collaborative arrangements with three key foreign suppliers. At this time our suppliers have experienced no significant disruptions as a result of COVID-19. We have experienced minor delays in our procurement from these suppliers as a result of the availability of shipping from third party freight carriers. These delays have not, to date, had a significant impact on our operations.
In response to COVID-19, we have taken action in these key areas:

• | Protecting the Health and Safety of our Employees: To reduce the risk to our employees and their families to potential

exposure to COVID-19, we have required that all non-essential employees work remotely until further notice. We have also split the shifts of our manufacturing personnel to allow for adequate social distancing, and require all personnel to utilize personal protective equipment while on site at our facilities. We have also significantly reduced business travel and access to our facilities.

• | Maintaining Engagement of or Sales Team and Our Customers: In addition to the initiatives we have put in place to protect health and safety for all employees, we have focused our direct sales team on remaining in close contact with their existing surgeon customers to do everything they can to provide them with support during this difficult time.

this goal in mind, we have implemented additional training for our sales reps in order to sharpen their ability to engage with our customers virtually. In addition to engaging with existing customers via virtual methods, our reps also continue to target and reach out to prospective accounts so that they will be well-positioned when the recovery occurs and surgeons return to conducting elective cosmetic procedures. Outside the U.S., we are closely monitoring the activities of our distributor partners and helping them navigate the challenges they face as a result of the slower demand they are seeing in their respective countries.

• | Operating Expenses: We continue to take preemptive steps to curtail spending, including implementing hiring restrictions,

reducing most discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, and delaying certain R&D projects and clinical research studies.

• | Governmental Policy: On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act to provide relief from COVID-19. We continue to take advantage of certain provisions of the CARES Act which are applicable to us including utilizing NOL carryback provisions and the deferral of payroll taxes. We expect that utilizing these provisions will significantly help mitigate the working capital impact COVID-19 has had on our sales and operations.

During 2020, we continue to drive sales in our Advanced Energy business by increasing the adoption and utilization of our generators and handpieces in the U.S. cosmetic surgery market and fulfilling demand from distributors in our international markets. Management estimates that our products have been sold in more than 50 countries. As of June 30, 2020, we had a direct sales force of 31 field-based selling professionals and a network of 4 independent sales agencies, led by 5 sales managers. This selling organization is focused on the use of Renuvion® in the cosmetic surgery market. In addition, we have invested in training programs and marketing-related activities to support accelerated adoption of Renuvion®.
During the first two months of 2020, our plans to host new Physician Mentor Programs, or “PMPs,” and expand our presence and educational programming at industry conferences and trade shows proceeded as expected. Our events planned for March, however, were canceled due to COVID-19. In lieu of this in-person programming, our sales, marketing and field clinical teams have been very active in engaging with our customers - and prospects - around the world. We have hosted educational events virtually where we featured some of our leading clinician customers speaking on a wide range of topics, including side-by-side results comparing Renuvion® to a leading competitor technology.
Our virtual educational events have also included case studies to illustrate how our leading clinician customers have adopted Renuvion®, their strategies for marketing and selling to new patients, and their thoughts on pricing and return on investment. We recently hosted the first installment of a planned series of webinars designed to assist our customers and prospects with opening their practices post-COVID 19. We also engaged with clinician customers outside the U.S. including hosting multiple continuing education training sessions on J-Plasma® and Renuvion® with our current international distributors and conducting multiple calls with groups of international prospects interested in learning about our Renuvion® technology.
Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. Asset information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker by segment and is not available by segment, accordingly, we have not presented a measure of assets by segment.
Our reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as two operating segments: Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which were not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred.
We strongly encourage investors to visit our website: www.apyxmedical.com to view the most current news and to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total revenue decreased by (35.4)% and (24.3)%, or approximately $(2.4) million and $(3.0) million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Advanced Energy segment sales decreased (46.4)% and (29.5)%, or approximately $(2.5) million and $(2.9) million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The impact of COVID-19 resulted in decreased demand for our products, both domestically and internationally in the first half of 2020 as many of our customers' businesses were ordered closed and numerous others temporarily closed voluntarily. Sales began to recover late in the second quarter as many of our customers resumed operations in a limited capacity.
International sales represented approximately 21.0% and 24.6% of total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared with 31.7% and 31.2% of total revenues for the same prior year period. Management estimates our products have been sold in more than 50 countries through local dealers coordinated by sales and marketing personnel through our facilities in Clearwater, Florida and Sofia, Bulgaria.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2020, decreased (55.2)% year-over-year, to $2.1 million, compared to $4.7 million in the prior year. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was 48.7%, compared to 70.3% for the same period in 2019. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020, decreased (38.4)% year-over-year, to $5.1 million, compared to $8.2 million in the prior year. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was 54.6%, compared to 67.1% for the same period in 2019.
During the second fiscal quarter, we reassessed our forecasted product mix due to COVID-19, increased availability of our newer handpiece designs, and earlier than expected completion of product registrations in some of our foreign markets. As a result, certain products were reduced to a lower carrying value, and some components were also written off as it was determined to cease further production on these models. This resulted in a decrease in gross profit of approximately $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The remaining change in gross profit margins is driven by product mix within both our Advanced Energy and OEM segments, revenue mix between our segments, geographical revenue mix, and improved product margins in our Advanced Energy segment as a result of our continued manufacturing efficiency initiatives.

Other Costs and Expenses
Our spending in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 reflected normal business activities into February and March and then a curtailment of certain costs associated with the impact of COVID-19, including restrictions on travel. While certain spending decreased in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of a reduction in revenue and activities limited by COVID-19, some of our strategic spending will continue. For example, while we have restricted new hirings, we have no plans to reduce our headcount or furlough any employees at this time. Certain costs will decline as the related underlying activities are restricted by COVID-19, including travel, trade shows and related expenses, clinical trials and in-person physician training.

Research and development expenses increased 9.8% and 20.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, primarily due to spending on our two IDE clinical studies, which had applications submitted to the FDA in late 2019.

Professional services expense decreased (0.2)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily attributable to decreases in physician consulting fees ($0.2 million) associated with the COVID-19 shutdown and a decrease in consulting option expense to our partner physicians ($0.3 million), as we did not grant options to our partner physicians in 2020. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in accounting and auditing fees ($0.4 million) related to recent financial statement restatements and continued efforts to remediate our internal control deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Professional services expense increased 7.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily attributable to an increase in accounting and auditing fees ($0.7 million) related to recent financial statement restatements and continued efforts to remediate our internal control deficiencies and material weaknesses. This increase was partially offset by decreases in legal expense ($0.2 million) associated with the class action lawsuit accrual in the first quarter of 2019 and a decrease in consulting option expense to our partner physicians ($0.3 million), as we did not grant options to our partner physicians in 2020.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, salaries and related expenses decreased approximately (2.0)% and (3.5)%, respectively, primarily driven by a decrease in accrued bonus expense in 2020. This decrease was partially offset by higher stock option expense and an increase in average headcount for the period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, selling, general and administrative expense decreased (27.9)%, primarily driven by a decrease in travel and entertainment expense ($0.5 million), a decrease in show fees and related costs ($0.2 million) and a decrease in customer samples ($0.1 million) associated with restricted travel and decreased sales activity from COVID-19.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, selling, general and administrative expense decreased approximately (0.2)%, primarily driven by a decrease in travel and entertainment expense ($0.3 million), a decrease in show fees and related costs ($0.2 million), a decrease in commission expense ($0.2 million) and a decrease in customer samples ($0.2 million) associated with restricted travel and decreased sales activity from COVID-19. These decreases were partially offset by higher bad debt expense ($0.6 million) related to increased uncertainty on the collection of our receivables due to the economic environment resulting from COVID-19 and an increase in insurance premiums ($0.1 million) from the prior year.

Total interest income decreased (98.3)% and (73.0)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared with the same periods in the prior year. This decrease is due to a lower average balance, as well as a lower yield, on our investments in U.S. Treasury Securities included in cash and cash equivalents.
Other income (losses), net increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the receipt of refunds on tariffs paid in the prior year, offset by the recognition of a joint and several liability for failure to collect and remit payroll taxes related to stock option exercises in the prior year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Our income tax (benefit) expense was approximately $(1,492,000) and $76,000 with an effective tax rate of 24.1% and (1.8)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our income tax (benefit) expense was approximately $(6,397,000) and $82,000 with an effective tax rate of 49.1% and (0.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on our net operating loss carryforward from 2019. On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act to provide relief from COVID-19. The CARES Act includes a provision that allows companies to carryback net operating losses generated in the period 2018 through 2020 to prior years. We released the full valuation allowance of approximately $3.7M on our Federal net operating loss carryforward associated with the provisions of the CARES Act.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital at June 30, 2020 was approximately $60.2 million compared with $64.4 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease in working capital from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the net loss incurred by the Company during the first half of 2020 partially offset by non cash activity including stock based compensation expense and our provision for allowance for doubtful accounts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $12.4 million, which principally funded our operating loss of $13.7 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $10.7 million million in the same period for 2019. Utilizing the provisions of the CARES Act, we recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $6.4 million in the first half of 2020, of which we expect to receive a tax refund of approximately $3.7 million by the end of 2020. We expect that utilizing the NOL carryback will significantly help mitigate the working capital impact COVID-19 has had on our sales and operations.
The CARES Act also allows us to defer the payment of payroll taxes incurred between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020, with half of the resulting liability due on December 31, 2021, and the remainder due on December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2020 we deferred approximately $0.1 million in taxes utilizing this program. We expect to defer and additional $0.3 million to $0.4 million under this program by December 31, 2020.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our customers, we have received multiple requests for extension on the payment of receivables. While we are committed to working with our customers to collect the receivables as expeditiously as possible, collectability of these receivables is more uncertain and we have recorded an increased allowance for doubtful accounts as a result. A primary focus for the Company in 2020 continues to be maintaining appropriate balance sheet flexibility, including cash on hand, due to the uncertain nature and unpredictable timing of the impacts of COVID-19.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million, related to investments in property and equipment.
At June 30, 2020, we had purchase commitments totaling approximately $0.5 million, substantially all of which is expected to be purchased within the next six months.

Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), we have adopted various accounting policies. Our most significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2020.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our estimates and assumptions, including those related to inventories, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, legal proceedings, research and development, warranty obligations, product liability, fair valued liabilities, sales returns and discounts, stock-based compensation and income taxes are updated as appropriate, which in most cases is at least quarterly. We base our estimates on historical experience, or various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and the results form the basis for making judgments about the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Estimates are considered to be critical if they meet both of the following criteria: (1) the estimate requires assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made and (2) other materially different estimates could have been reasonably made or material changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Our critical accounting estimates include the following:
Stock-based Compensation
Under our stock option plans, options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted to employees, officers and directors of the Company by the Board of Directors. We account for stock options in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation, with compensation expense amortized over the vesting period. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes model in 2019 and 2020 and the trinomial lattice option-pricing model in prior years, both of which includes a number of estimates that affect the amount of our expense. We have determined that the most critical of these estimates are the expected life and volatility used in the calculations.
Expected life
For employee stock-based compensation awards, we estimate the expected life of awards utilizing the SEC's simplified method. We utilize this method, as the we have not historically granted stock-based compensation awards to employees in sufficient volumes to determine a reasonable estimate of the life of awards. For awards granted to non-employees, we calculate expected life using a combination of past exercise behavior, the contractual term and expected remaining exercise behavior.
Volatility
We determine the volatility by utilizing the historical volatility of our stock over the period of the awards expected life. Relevant guidance allows us to include periods in excess of the useful life if we determine that they provide a more reasonable basis for the volatility of our stock. Additionally, ASC 718-10 allows us to exclude periods from the volatility if they pertain to events or circumstances that in our judgment are specific to us and if the event or transaction is not reasonably expected to occur again during the expected term of the awards. We have not included any additional periods, nor disregarded any periods, in calculating our volatility.
Accounts Receivable Reserves
We maintain a reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we analyze specific unremitted customer balances for known collectability issues, review historical bad debt experience, customer credit worthiness and economic trends, and we make estimates in connection with establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, including the future impacts of current trends. Changes in estimates are reflected in the period they are made. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an inability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANAYLSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Inventory Reserves
We maintain a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory resulting from the potential inability to sell our products at prices in excess of current carrying costs. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, with new products and surgical procedures introduced on an ongoing basis. Such marketplace changes may cause our products to become obsolete. We make estimates regarding the future recoverability of the costs of these products and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based on historical experience and expected future trends. If actual product life cycles, product demand or acceptance of new product introductions are less favorable than projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required, which would unfavorably affect future operating results.
Litigation Contingencies
In accordance with authoritative guidance, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded; actual results may differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes
The provision for income tax expense (benefit) includes federal, foreign, state and local income taxes currently payable or receivable and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted marginal tax rates. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period.
As a result of historical losses exclusive of the sale of the Core business in 2018, and our expectation to continue to generate losses in the near future, we recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset and do not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets. We will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable. As management expects the Company to continue to generate losses in 2020 and the foreseeable future after 2020, we will continue to record a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax asset balance as of June 30, 2020.
We assess the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained.
Inflation
Inflation has not materially impacted the operations of our Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at this time.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified and reported in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2019 Form 10-K") which, as described below, continue to exist, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, which is described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control- Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of the material weaknesses described below.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 was audited by BDO USA LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in Part II, Item 8 of our most recent Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019, contains an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

• | As of December 31, 2019 we had identified the following three material weaknesses:An ineffective control environment requiring additional qualified accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience with generally accepted accounting principles. This was a deficiency from the prior year that had not been fully

remediated.

• | Ineffective control activities due to the lack of documentation and timeliness in executing certain business process controls, specifically related to procure to pay and inventory processes and footnote reporting disclosures related to income tax accounts, primarily related to our United States operations. This was a deficiency from the prior year that had not been fully remediated.

• | Ineffective control activities over financial reporting in our Bulgarian subsidiary related to the purchasing of goods and services, including the processing and payment of vendor invoices.

As of June 30, 2020, we continue our remediation efforts related to these deficiencies.
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses
Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. In response to the identified material weaknesses, management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has taken actions toward the remediation of the respective material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as outlined below.

• | We are in the process of remediating the material weakness associated with the lack of sufficient qualified accounting personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge and experience with generally accepted accounting principles by hiring a new Chief Financial Officer in January 2019 and, in September 2019, a new Corporate Controller with experience in internal controls and financial reporting. Both have been actively engaged in remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses to date and will continue throughout fiscal year 2020. We will continue to recruit qualified professionals with appropriate levels of knowledge and experience to assist in resolving accounting issues related to non-routine and complex transactions. We have also enhanced our policies, procedures, and controls for all key business processes. In addition, management will continue to train personnel to ensure consistent application of accounting principles and adherence to the Company’s policies, procedures, and controls.

• | We are in the process of remediating the material weakness associated with the ineffective control activities due to the lack of documentation and timeliness in executing business process controls by enhancing our processes and review controls associated with the processes noted above. We have reviewed current financial controls to assess if additional management review controls are necessary and will continue to work with all finance personnel to ensure the appropriate documentation criteria for the existing controls, including evidence of review, timeliness and variance thresholds. We will continue to work with the third-party specialists we engaged to review, document, and enhance the design of our controls, with the goal of designing and implementing controls that address the completeness and accuracy of data used in the performance of certain controls as well as the precision of management's review, but also enhance our ability to manage our business.

• | We have enhanced, or are in the process of enhancing, certain controls over purchasing and disbursements in our Bulgarian subsidiary, including approving and validating vendor invoices received by verifying the related purchase authorization and the receipt of the goods or services.

Management believes the steps outlined above, along with the implementation of a new financial reporting system, will remediate the material weaknesses described above. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and management will continue to monitor the implementation of these remediation measures and the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis.
As of June 30, 2020, our remediation of these deficiencies is incomplete.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and we are and may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Such claims may include claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, claims concerning the marketing and promotion of our products and product liability claims.
We are involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our Helium Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. We believe that such claims are adequately covered by insurance; however, in the case of one of our carriers, we are in a dispute regarding the total level of coverage available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses and such claims are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on our financial condition. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policies or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
On April 17, 2019, a complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, against the Company and Charles D. Goodwin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, alleging certain violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On July 16, 2019, the Court appointed lead plaintiff for the putative class and approved the lead plaintiff’s selection of counsel. On September 3, 2019, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) with the Court.
The Amended Complaint seeks class action status on behalf of all persons and entities that acquired the Company’s securities between December 21, 2018 and April 1, 2019, and alleges violations by the Company and Goodwin of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, primarily related to certain public statements concerning the Premarket Notification 510(k) submission made to the US Food and Drug Administration for a new indication for the Company’s J-Plasma® technology for use in dermal resurfacing procedures. On October 3, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint, and on March 11, 2020, the Court denied that motion. On July 10, 2020, the parties executed a settlement agreement, which is subject to Court approval. The Court preliminarily approved the settlement on July 21, 2020. The settlement agreement provides for the dismissal of the action with prejudice. At June 30, 2020, approximately $670,000 of the $1,000,000 insurance deductible is unpaid and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During July 2020, substantially all of the unpaid deductible was paid.
We accrue a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded, actual results may differ from these estimates.
ITEM 1A. Risk factors
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item1A-Risk Factors in our annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than the following:
THE COVID-19 Pandemic has had and continues to have a material and adverse affect on our business
Our global operations expose us to risks associated with public health crises and outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases, such as the current outbreak of COVID-19. To date, COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, a material and adverse impact on our operations. Due to these impacts and measures, we have experienced and may continue to experience significant and unpredictable reductions in the demand for our products as actions taken by governmental bodies have restricted our customers' business activities. There continues to be a significant amount of uncertainty as to when these restrictions will be lifted and when patients will choose to undergo the elective procedures provided by our customers. While many of our customers have begun to

APYX MEDICAL CORPORATION
experience positive trends in these restrictions being lifted and some patients have started elective procedures again, there is no guarantee that restrictions won't be reinstated or that patients will not choose to forgo elective procedures. In addition, our customers may delay, cancel or redirect planned capital expenditures in order to focus resources on COVID-19 or in response to continued economic disruption related to COVID-19.
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, many businesses experienced temporary closures of facilities as a result of being considered non-essential businesses. As performers of elective procedures, these temporary closures have impacted many of our customers and materially reduced demand for our products. As a medical device company, while we have currently been exempt from these guidelines and have largely continued operations, if we continue to experience future materially reduced demand for our products, we may have to scale back our operations. In addition, if the guidelines change, we or our suppliers could be impacted, and we could be adversely affected through supply chain interruptions, manufacturing restrictions or labor restrictions.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the world economy and financial markets , which has resulted in a period of significant global economic slowdown which has curtailed and delayed spending by physicians and affected demand for our products as well as increased risk of customer defaults or delays in payments. COVID-19 and the current financial, economic, and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, volume of business, results of operations, and cash flows. Due to the uncertain scope and duration of the pandemic, the and uncertain timing of global recovery and economic normalization, we are unable to estimate the impacts on our operations and financial results, but believe they will be material into the second quarter of 2020 and possibly beyond.
