PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

History

Zynex Inc. was founded by Thomas Sandgaard in 1996, when he founded smaller private companies that eventually were folded into Zynex, Inc. Zynex Inc., a Nevada corporation, that was formed in December 2001, is the parent company of and conducts business within six subsidiaries: Zynex Medical, Inc. (“ZMI”), a Colorado corporation, Zynex Neurodiagnostics, Inc. (“ZND”), a Colorado corporation, Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc. (“ZMS”), a Colorado corporation, Zynex Billing and Consulting, LLC (“ZBC”), a Colorado limited liability company, Zynex Europe (Zynex Europe ApS) (“ZEU”), a Danish corporation, and Pharmazy, Inc. (“Pharmazy”), which was incorporated under the laws of Colorado in June 2015 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZMI collectively referred to as “Zynex” or the “Company”. Over 99% of total 2016 consolidated revenue is attributable to ZMI. The only other subsidiary which, at the date of this annual report, is operating is ZEU which is only operating at a minimal level. Our headquarters are located in Lone Tree, Colorado.

In 2016, we experienced an increase in revenue relative to years 2014 and 2015, as well as, posted positive net income as reflected in the following table:

Year ended December 31 |  | Net Revenue |  |  | Net Income (Loss) |
2014 |  | $ | 11.1 million |  |  | $ | (6.2 million) |
2015 |  | $ | 11.6 million |  |  | $ | (2.9 million) |
2016 |  | $ | 13.3 million |  |  | $ | 0.1 million |

At December 31, 2016, we had negative working capital of approximately $4.3 million, negative shareholders’ equity of approximately $3.8 million and are in default under the terms of the secured line of credit with our lender. All of these factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have reduced our operating expenses through headcount reductions, negotiation of a new facility lease and general spending controls. We have also reduced our inventory levels during 2016, 2015 and 2014, thus reducing the level of purchases and conserving cash. We are operating with limited cash and most vendors require payment in advance, so inventory remains at a low level.

As noted above, we are in default of our line of credit. While the lender, Triumph Healthcare Finance, a division of TBK Bank, SSB (formerly known as Triumph Community Bank) (the “Lender”) notified us of the default in July 2014, it has continued to release funds to us based on cash collections, even though it has no contractual obligation to do so. The Lender has agreed to forbear on exercising its rights through June 30, 2017. The Company and the Lender have not reached any agreement by which the Lender will agree to continue to forbear exercising its default remedies and the Company cannot offer any assurance that it will be able to enter into any such agreement with the Lender. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the lender will continue to forebear on exercising its rights.

Although the Company raised approximately $1.035 million in a private placement completed through Newbridge Securities Corporation in February 2017 ($0.539 million after deducting expenses of the offering and a $0.342 million repayment of principal to our principal lender, Triumph Healthcare Finance), those funds are insufficient for the long-term survival of Zynex. Since receiving those funds, we have used a portion of the funds for production of devices and supplies. We need to raise a substantial amount of additional capital to replace the line of credit and to provide sufficient working capital. The net losses, existing bank default and negative working capital make it difficult to raise any new capital and any such capital raised (if any) may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders.

Subsidiaries

Zynex Medical, Inc. (ZMI):

ZMI designs, manufactures and markets medical devices that treat chronic and acute pain, as well as activate and exercise muscles for rehabilitative purposes with electrical stimulation. ZMI devices are intended for pain management to reduce reliance on drugs and medications and provide rehabilitation and increased mobility through the utilization of non-invasive muscle stimulation, electromyography technology, interferential current (“IFC”), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (“NMES”) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (“TENS”). All our medical devices are intended to be patient friendly and designed for home use. The ZMI devices are small, portable, battery operated and include an electrical pulse generator which is connected to the body via electrodes. The products are cost effective when compared to traditional physical therapy, and often result in better mobility, less pain and increased potential for a patient to return to work and live a fuller life significantly earlier than with traditional therapies alone. All of our medical devices are marketed in the U.S. and are subject to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation and approval. Our products require a physician’s prescription before they can be dispensed in the U.S. We consider the physician’s prescription as an “order”, and it is on this basis that we provide the product to the patient and either bill the patient directly or the patient’s private or government insurer for payment.

| 4 |

ZMI’s primary product is the NexWave device. The NexWave is marketed to physicians and therapists by our field sales representatives. The NexWave requires consumable supplies, such as electrodes and batteries, which are shipped to patients on a recurring monthly basis, as needed.

ZMI also designs, manufactures and markets the NeuroMove product. The NeuroMove contains electromyography and electric stimulation technology that is primarily used for stroke, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation (“SCI”), by reaching parts of the brain to re-connect with muscles, also known as neuroplasticity. The NeuroMove product is primarily marketed to medical clinics. Zynex did not have material sales of this product in 2016.

In early 2014, ZMI slowly introduced the EZ Rx Prescription program, a new distribution model for dispensing ZMI products to patients. The program is known to prescribers, as EZ Rx Prescription and has streamlined the way physicians prescribe, patients receive our products, and how ZMI utilizes inventory. Under the program prescriptions are faxed directly to ZMI reducing the requirements on the physician or office staff to spend time with filling out device paperwork and educating patients on how to use the device. After receiving a prescription, ZMI contacts the patient directly to process the necessary paperwork and ships the device directly to the patient. Upon the patient receiving the device, they are taught how to use the device via instructional videos on the ZMI website.

Zynex Medical, Inc. dba Pharmazy (ZMI) and Pharmazy, Inc (Pharmazy):

Beginning in 2012, many industry sales representatives, including those representing Zynex, began offering prescription TransDermal Pain Creams (TDPC) to their accounts, a product that paid much higher commissions with less paperwork than TENS devices. TDPC, like TENS, offers very effective, non-addictive pain management with minimal side effects. In order to attract sales representatives and to counter the number of sales representatives who either dropped or spent less time promoting Zynex’s TENS products in favor of TDPC, in late 2013, Zynex opened its own compounding pharmacy. The new pharmacy operated within ZMI, (ZMI dba “Pharmazy”) and obtained its first state license in February 2014. In June 2015, we incorporated Pharmazy, Inc. in Colorado as a wholly owned subsidiary of ZMI with the intent of transferring the pharmacy operations to the newly formed corporation. This transfer never occurred. During January 2016, we shut down our compound pharmacy business. The business struggled due to the unfavorably changing pharmacy insurance reimbursements. In addition, we focused on our core electrotherapy product business and our potential and future blood volume monitor business described for ZMS, below.

In 2016 and 2015, the compound pharmacy accounted for 0.1% and 10%, respectively, of our revenues.

Zynex Monitoring Solutions (ZMS):

ZMS was formed in 2011 to develop and market medical devices for non-invasive cardiac monitoring. During 2015, ZMS was still in development and did not have any revenue. The blood volume monitor is a non-invasive medical device for monitoring central blood volume that would be used in operating and recovery rooms to detect blood loss during surgery and internal bleeding during recovery. This device has been subjected to multiple clinical studies, which are being utilized for collecting data to further validate the algorithm used to determine changes in central blood volume and planning for future, additional clinical studies. We have submitted a 510(k) application to the FDA and are responding to their questions. There is no guarantee when or if the product will be cleared for marketing by the FDA.

The blood volume monitor has been tested in several International Review Board (IRB) approved studies and, during 2015, was used in several blood donation settings where hundreds of subjects have donated half a liter of blood with strong correlation to the index on the device. We have built a number of commercial devices in pilot-production and continue to refine the algorithms for the Blood Volume Index (BVI). A utility patent has been filed for this unique application (pending), which we believe could serve a currently unmet need in the market for safer surgeries and safer monitoring of patients during recovery. ZMS did not produce any revenue for the years ending December, 31, 2016 and 2015. During 2016, ZMS was still in development and did not have any revenue.

| 5 |

Zynex Internatio nal (Zynex Europe) (ZEU):

ZEU was formed in 2012 to further progress Zynex’s international expansion. ZEU is currently conducting business and focused on sales and marketing our products within the international marketplace, upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. ZEU did not produce significant revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Zynex NeuroDiagnostics (ZND):

ZND was formed in 2011 to market electromyography (“EMG”), electroencephalography (“EEG”), sleep pattern, auditory and nerve conductivity neurological diagnosis devices to hospitals and clinics worldwide, through the utilization of existing ZMI diagnostic EMG technology. ZND has not generated revenue for years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and we are no longer actively pursuing sales of this product line.

Zynex Billing and Consulting (ZBC):

During the latter part of 2012, we established a medical billing and consulting subsidiary, ZBC. ZBC provided outsourced billing services for private medical practices, which include collection services, medical coding and general billing consulting. ZBC is majority owned by Zynex, Inc. (80%) and has a non-controlling interest member, owning 20%. We ceased providing billing and consulting services in April of 2015. ZBC produced 0.0% and 0.4% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There was no revenue associated to ZBC in 2016.

Product Uses

Pain Management and Control

Standard electrotherapy is a clinically proven and medically accepted alternative to manage acute and chronic pain. Electrical stimulation has been shown to reduce most types of local pain, such as tennis elbow, neck or lower back pain, arthritis, and others. The devices used to accomplish this are commonly described as the TENS family of devices. Electrotherapy is not known to have any negative side effects, a significant advantage over most pain relief medications. The benefits of electrotherapy can include: pain relief, increased blood flow, reduced edema, prevention of venous thrombosis, increased range-of-motion, prevention of muscle disuse atrophy, and reduced urinary incontinence.

Electrotherapy introduces an electrical current applied through surface electrodes. The electrical current “distorts” a pain signal on its way to the central nervous system and the brain, thus reducing the pain. Additionally, by applying higher levels of electricity, muscles contract and such contraction may assist in the effects mentioned above.

Numerous clinical studies have been published over several decades showing the effectiveness of IFC and TENS for pain relief. Zynex’s primary TENS device, the NexWave has received FDA 510(k) clearance. The NexWave is a digital IFC, TENS and NMES device that delivers pain-alleviating electrotherapy. In addition to our electrotherapy solutions, ZMI during 2014 and 2015 also provided a line prescription pain creams under its Pharmazy brand, which incorporated two to eight different active pharmaceutical ingredients to alleviate pain in localized areas. We ceased pharmacy operations during January 2016.

| 6 |

Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

Our proprietary NeuroMove product is a Class II medical device that has been cleared by the FDA for stroke and SCI rehabilitation. Stroke and SCI usually affect a survivor’s mobility, functionality, speech, and memory, and the NeuroMove helps the survivor regain movement and functionality.

The NeuroMove product utilizes the relatively new science of “neuroplasticity”, the process by which healthy parts of the brain learn to compensate and assume functions previously carried out by the damaged areas. To accomplish this task, the extraordinarily sensitive NeuroMove technology monitors muscle activity and detects brain signals that indicate, even without any visible movement, the brain’s effort to move a specific muscle or area of the body. Once the effort is detected, the NeuroMove induces actual movement through electrical stimulation, thus providing effective feedback to initiate relearning in the healthy part of the brain.

We believe the NeuroMove product is unique because its built-in microprocessor can recognize low-level attempts by muscles to contract and then “reward” such detection with electrical stimulation. We do not believe there are similar products in the stroke rehabilitation market. Some generic devices are being offered in international markets; however, we do not believe these products provide similar results with respect to stroke rehabilitation. When conscientiously using the NeuroMove product for three to twelve months, studies show that the majority of NeuroMove patients can re-establish the connection between the brain and impaired muscle and thus regain movement and functionality. When movement and functionality are restored, the patient may experience increased mobility, increased productivity, an improved outlook, and a reduced risk of accidents, and may be able to engage in activities they were precluded from before using the NeuroMove. Sales of NeuroMove have not generated material revenue for years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Our Markets

Zynex Medical (ZMI):

To date, the majority of our revenue has been generated by our ZMI electrotherapy products. Thus, we primarily compete in the home electrotherapy market, with products based on IFC, TENS and NMES devices and consumable supplies. We estimate the annual domestic market for home electrotherapy products at approximately $350 million. Although ZMI’s share of the market is negligible and we cannot offer any assurance that our share of the market will increase even assuming that we are able to resolve our financial difficulties described in this report.

Since 2013, we have experienced significant challenges related to health care reform, including the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act dramatically alters the United States health care system and is intended to decrease the number of uninsured Americans and reduce the overall cost of healthcare. The Affordable Care Act attempts to achieve these goals by, among other things, requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance, expanding Medicaid eligibility, reducing Medicare payments to providers, expanding the Medicare program’s use of value-based purchasing programs and instituting certain private health insurance reforms. Although a majority of the measures contained in the Affordable Care Act did not take effect until 2014, certain measures became effective in 2013, and additional government policies designed to reduce the overall cost of the Medicare program through reduced reimbursement and reduced coverage for certain items and services have already become effective. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Affordable Care Act because of its complexity, lack of implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation, future potential legal challenges, and possible repeal and/or amendment, as well as the inability to foresee how individuals and businesses will respond to the choices afforded them by the Affordable Care Act. As a result, it is difficult to predict the full impact that health care reform, including the Affordable Care Act, will have on the electrotherapy market.

In the market segments in which we compete, we face a mixture of competitors ranging from large manufacturers with multiple business lines to small manufacturers that offer a limited selection of products. The primary competitor in our market is International Rehabilitative Sciences, Inc. d/b/a RS Medical. In addition, we face competition from providers of alternative medical therapies, such as pharmaceutical companies.

Key characteristics of our electrotherapy market are:

| ● | Collection cycles of initial payment from insurance carriers can range from 30 days to many months and considerably longer for many attorney, personal injury and worker’s compensation cases. Such delayed payment impacts our cash flow and can slow our growth or strain our liquidity. Collections are also impacted by whether effective billing submissions are made by our billing and collections department to the insurance carriers.

| 7 |

| ● | Prior to payment, the third party payors often make or take significant payment “adjustments or discounts.” This can also lead to denials and billing disputes with third party payors.
| ● | The majority of our revenue is generated by the sale and rental of medical devices and from recurring patient supplies, specifically from our electrotherapy products sold through ZMI. We are reliant on insurance reimbursement. For 2016, approximately 65% of our consolidated net revenue was from commercial insurance carriers.

Zynex Monitoring Solutions (ZMS):

ZMS is focused on developing products within the non-invasive multi-parameter patient-monitoring marketplace. ZMS is currently focusing on developing its blood volume monitor. We believe our product, once released into the marketplace (of which there can be no guarantee), will compete against multiple competitors, ranging from large manufacturers with multiple business lines to small manufacturers that offer a limited range of products. We have not yet identified competitors for this product. ZMS has not generated any revenue as this product is still in development.

Zynex NeuroDiagnostics (ZND):

ZND was focused on developing products within the neurosensing marketplace in an effort to diversify our concentration of ZMI electrotherapy revenue. To date, ZND has not generated significant revenue and we are no longer actively pursuing product development of this product line.

Sales and Growth Strategies

To date, ZMI accounts for substantially all of our revenue. In an effort to increase revenue and diversification to become less sensitive to reimbursement changes, we are continually seeking new products that are less impacted by insurance reimbursement to our ZMI sales channel and are pursuing other opportunities, including the Blood Volume Monitor which is still in development.

| · | During 2015 and 2014, we entered the compound pharmacy business, which generated $1,126 and $1,114, respectively of revenue. As discussed elsewhere, the pharmacy operations were closed in January 2016.
| · | In late November 2015, the electrotherapy industry experienced a significant development when our largest competitor, Empi, announced the closure of their Empi electrotherapy division. Empi previously held a large share of the electrotherapy market with approximately $250 million in annual revenue. We believe this presents a significant opportunity for our existing sales team to capture accounts previously serviced by Empi and an opportunity for recruiting former Empi representatives in new areas where we do not have representation currently. We have engaged, both as employees and contractors, 74 former Empi representatives. Our orders have increased from a monthly average of 1,100 in 2015 to 2,100 in 2016.

We believe these events and actions will serve to focus and increase our market share in the electrotherapy market and, in the future, diversify our product mix. We also continue to modify and refine our geographic sales channels through experienced sales representatives, representing a mix of Zynex employees, sales contractors and international distributors. As of March 31, 2017 we had approximately180 active field sales representatives. An insignificant amount of our revenue is derived from international sales; however we continue to take steps to penetrate the global medical device marketplace.

Manufacturing and Product Assembly

Our manufacturing and product assembly strategy consists of the following elements:

| ● | Compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
| ● | Use of contract manufacturers as much as possible, thereby allowing us to quickly respond to changes in volume and avoid large capital investments for assembly and manufacturing equipment. Domestically and internationally, there is a large pool of highly qualified contract manufacturers for the type of devices we manufacture.
| ● | Utilization of in-house final assembly and test capabilities.
| ● | Development of proprietary software and hardware for all products in house.
| ● | Testing all units in a real-life, in-house environment to help ensure the highest possible quality and patient safety while reducing the cost of warranty repairs.

| 8 |

We utilize contract manufacturers (principally located in the United States) to manufacture components for our NexWave and NeuroMove units and for some of our other products; and manufacture / assemble in-house for our NexWave and NeuroMove units. We do not have long term supply agreements with our contract manufacturers, but utilize purchase orders with agreed upon terms for our ongoing needs. We believe there are numerous suppliers that can manufacture our products and provide our required raw materials. Generally, we have been able to obtain adequate supplies of our required raw materials and components. However, given our current liquidity the majority of our suppliers at this time require payment in advance and as a result we have limited flexibility in obtaining supplies of our required raw materials and component. We are always evaluating our suppliers for price, quality, delivery time and service. The reduction or interruption in supply, and an inability to develop alternative sources for such supply, could adversely affect our operations.

Our significant suppliers as of March 2017 are:

Axelgaard Manufacturing Co., LTD, Fallbrook, CA

ATL Technology, Springville, UT

Staples Advantage, Chicago, IL

Pac-Tec, Division of LaFrance Corporation, Concordville, PA

Western Electronics LLC, Meridian, ID

See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements regarding our primary supplier of electrotherapy products.

Distribution and Revenue Streams:

To date, all of our revenue is generated through our ZMI subsidiary from our electrotherapy products and, during 2015, also included pain creams. Since our revenues are all pledged to our principal lender to collateralize a loan that is in default, the lender receives the cash flows from our revenues, and to date notwithstanding the default, the lender has allowed us to continue using our cash collections (net of our obligation with respect to bank repayments discussed herein and other fees) for operational purposes.

We sell most of our medical devices through direct and independent sales representatives in the United States. Our field sales representatives are engaged to sell in predefined geographic markets and are compensated based on the amount of cash collected from products sold. At times, we place our medical device inventory with certain field sales representatives to more quickly fill orders, which are typically consigned to various medical clinics and physician offices. Currently, the United States has been the market that we have focused on; however, we have established international distributors in Canada, Australia, Russia, China, India, Singapore, Holland, Germany, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Viet Nam. Typically, we sell and ship product directly to our international distributors, who work directly with the ultimate patient or end-user. To date these international customers have not generated significant revenue.

Our medical device products may be purchased or rented on a monthly basis based on the receipt and verification of a valid prescription. Renters and purchasers are primarily patients, health care providers and dealers. If the patient is covered by health insurance, the third party payor typically determines whether the patient will rent or purchase a unit depending on the anticipated time period for its use. When a rental unit is returned, it may be refurbished, tested and made available for additional rentals.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from patients with private health insurance carriers with insurance plans, typically known as HMO or PPO, on behalf of their insureds as well as worker’s compensation agencies. The balance of the revenue is primarily received from attorneys representing injured patients, hospitals, clinics and private-pay individuals. We no longer accept Medicare and Medicaid orders.

A large part of our revenue is recurring. Recurring revenue results from renting our products, typically for two or more months, and the sale of surface electrodes and batteries sent to existing patients on both rental and purchased units. Electrodes and batteries are consumable items that are considered an integral part of our products.

Private Labeled Distributed Products

In addition to our own products, we distribute, through our sales force, a number of private labeled products from other domestic manufacturers in order to complement our products. These products generally include patient consumables, such as electrodes and batteries. Customarily, there are no formal contracts between vendors in the durable medical equipment industry. Replacement products and components are easily found, either from our own products or other manufacturers, and purchases are made by purchase order.

Intellectual Property

Although we do not own any patents, we believe that our products contain certain proprietary software. We currently have applied for utility patents for products related to cardiac monitoring within ZMS in both US and Europe. In the future, we may seek patents for advances to our existing products and for new products as they are developed. During 2016 and 2015, we incurred approximately $256 and $256, respectively, of research and development expenses. We expect our research and development expenditures will be limited throughout 2017.

Zynex is trademarked in the U.S.

We utilize non-disclosure and trade secret agreements with employees and third parties to protect our proprietary information.

Regulatory Approval and Process

Federal Drug Association (FDA)

All our ZMI products are classified as Class II (Medium Risk) devices by the FDA, and clinical studies with our products are considered to be NSR (Non-Significant Risk Studies). Our business is regulated by the FDA, and all products typically require 510(k) market clearance before they can be put in commercial distribution. Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, is available in certain instances for Class II (Medium Risk) products. It requires that before introducing most Class II devices into interstate commerce, our introducing the product must first submit information to the FDA demonstrating that the device is substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to a device legally marketed prior to March 1976 or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that do not require approval of a premarket approval application. When the FDA determines that the device is substantially equivalent, the agency issues a “clearance” letter that authorizes marketing of the product. We are also regulated by the FDA’s GMP and QSR (Quality Systems Regulation). We believe that our products have obtained or are good candidates for the requisite FDA clearance or are exempt from the FDA clearance process. In November 2001, Zynex received FDA 510(k) clearance to market NeuroMove. In September 2011, Zynex received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the NexWave, our current generation IFC, TENS and NMES device. In August 2012, Zynex received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the InWave, our next generation muscle stimulator for treatment of female incontinence. Failure to comply with FDA requirements could adversely affect us. In January, 2014 the FDA performed an inspection of Zynex Medical. At the end of the inspection a Form 483 was issued listing items that needed to be corrected to be in complete compliance with FDA regulations. In January 2015, the FDA performed a follow up inspection. On February 24, 2017, the FDA issued documentation to conclude and close the inspection.

Changes in reimbursement for our products may adversely affect us. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Decision Memo on June 8, 2012 that eliminated Medicare reimbursement for TENS for any diagnosis code related to chronic low back pain unless the patient was enrolled in a CMS approved clinical trial. This change was implemented in 2013 and eliminated reimbursement for approximately 50% of the Medicare patients we normally served. We no longer take Medicare insurance plans.

International

Zynex has received European Union (“EU”) CE Marking approval for several of its products. CE Marking is a certification that a product meets the standards established by the 28 nations of the EU and qualifies for sale in the EU and 4-nation European Free Trade Association.

The Far East, Middle East, Eastern Europe and Latin American markets have different regulatory requirements. We comply with applicable regulatory requirements within the markets in which we currently sell. If and when we decide to enter additional geographic areas, we intend to comply with applicable regulatory requirements within those markets.

Zynex has received ISO13485: 2012 certification for its compliance with international standards in quality management systems for design, development, manufacturing and distribution of medical devices. This certification is not only important as an assurance that we have the appropriate quality systems in place but is also crucial to our international expansion efforts as many countries require this certification as part of their regulatory approval. The quality management system is audited on an annual basis and current recertification is pending final audit review.

Government Regulation

The delivery of health care services and products has become one of the most highly regulated of professional and business endeavors in the United States. Both the federal government and individual state governments are responsible for overseeing the activities of individuals and businesses engaged in the delivery of health care services and products. Federal law and regulations are based primarily upon the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Each program is financed, at least in part, with federal funds. State jurisdiction is based upon the state’s interest in regulating the quality of health care in the state, regardless of the source of payment. Many state and local jurisdictions impose additional legal and regulatory requirements on our business including various states and local licenses, taxes, limitations regarding insurance claim submission and limitations on relationships with referral parties. Failure to comply with this myriad of regulations in a particular jurisdiction may subject us to fines or other penalties, including the inability to sell our products in certain jurisdictions.

Federal health care laws apply to us when we submit a claim to any other federally funded health care program, in addition to requirements to meet government standards. The principal federal laws that we must abide by in these situations include:

| ● | Those that prohibit the filing of false or improper claims for federal payment.
| ● | Those that prohibit unlawful inducements for the referral of business reimbursable under federally funded health care programs.

The federal government may impose criminal, civil and administrative penalties on anyone who files a false claim for reimbursement from federally funded programs.

A federal law commonly known as the “anti-kickback law” prohibits the knowing or willful solicitation, receipt, offer or payment of any remuneration made in return for:

| ● | The referral of patients covered under federally-funded health care programs; or
| ● | The purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for any goods, facility, items or service reimbursable under those programs.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we employed 106 employees. We also engage a number of independent commission-only sales contractors.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

WE HAVE NEGATIVE WORKING CAPITAL, NEGATIVE SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND ARE IN DEFAULT OF OUR SECURED LINE OF CREDIT RAISING SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

The Company’s results from operations changed significantly from 2013 when it had revenues of $21.7 million and losses of $7.3 million to 2016 as reflected in the following table:

Year |  | Revenues |  |  | Profit (Loss) |
2013 |  | $ | 21.7 |  |  | $ | (7.3 | )
2014 |  | $ | 11.1 |  |  | $ | (6.2 | )
2015 |  | $ | 11.6 |  |  | $ | (2.9 | )
2016 |  | $ | 13.3 |  |  | $ | 0.07 |

In addition, as of December 31, 2016 we had negative working capital of approximately $4.3 million and negative stockholders’ equity of approximately $3.8 million. We are (and since July 2014 have been) in default under our line of credit and do not have sufficient funds to repay our lender. The lender has several remedies available to it including acceleration of outstanding borrowings and it is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The outstanding balance on our line of credit at March 31, 2017 was approximately $2.2 million and (as describe in more detail below) we are in default under the terms of the loan agreement. The lender, Triumph, has from time-to-time agreed to forbear from exercising its remedies under the loan agreement, and currently its agreement to forbear will expire on June 30, 2017.

Our business plan contemplates organic growth in revenues and through the addition of new products to our sales channel, including development of the Blood Volume Monitor, which could mitigate in small part the decline in sales of our ZMI electrotherapy products since 2013. The factors described above may also negatively affect our ability to find, attract or retain sales personnel or qualified new employees and sales representatives and retain existing employees and sales representatives.

| 11 |

We require a significant amount of additional capital in the form of debt and/or equity to replace our existing line of credit and to provide additional working capital. Our history of operating losses and negative working capital may make it difficult to raise any new capital and may have an adverse impact on our relationship with third parties with whom we do business, including our customers, vendors and employees. We can offer no assurance that the bank will continue to forebear on exercising its rights under the loan documents, or that we will be able to acquire a sufficient amount of financing to meet our ongoing needs.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

WE ARE IN DEFAULT OF THE TERMS OF OUR LINE OF CREDIT AND ARE USING OUR REVENUE STREAM FOR OPERATIONS WITH THE CONSENT OF OUR LENDER

We are (and since July 2014 have been) in default under our line of credit and do not have sufficient funds to repay our lender. The lender has several remedies available to it including acceleration of outstanding borrowings which is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The outstanding balance of our line of credit at March 31, 2017 was $2,200. Although the lender has continued to release cash collateral based on revenue used to pay down the line of credit, there can be no assurance it will continue to do so. If the lender ceases to release cash collateral, we will be unable to finance our business operations and general and administrative expenses, and this will likely result in our inability to continue operations. In addition, we have had to revise and extend the payment terms with many of our key supplier and vendors. If our key suppliers and vendors, many of whom now require payment in advance of delivery, cease doing business with us, it will have a material adverse effect on our business.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN OPERATIONS. WE MAY HAVE TO CURTAIL OUR BUSINESS IF WE CANNOT FIND ADEQUATE FUNDING

Our ability to sustain operations is dependent on our ability to grow revenue and develop new products. This will require significant capital resources. We need to seek additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to fund our business plan. We cannot be certain that we will be able to raise additional capital in the future on terms acceptable to us or at all. If alternative sources of financing are insufficient or unavailable, we may be required to modify our business plan or significantly curtail our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders. Any debt financing would require the approval of Triumph Healthcare Finance (“Triumph” or the “Lender”), which is the Lender under our line of credit.

OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS INCLUDED AN EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH WITH RESPECT TO OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IN ITS REPORT ON OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016

In their report dated April 17, 2017, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph emphasizing the uncertainty related to our substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred significant losses in 2015, 2014 and 2013, have a significant working capital deficit and have limited liquidity. In addition, we are in default of our secured line of credit and as a result, if our lender insists upon immediate repayment, we will be unable to make payment and may be forced to seek protection from our creditors. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

CHANGES IN THE HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT MAY CONTINUE TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS

Since 2013, we have encountered industry challenges related to health care reform, including the Affordable Care Act and coverage and reimbursement changes from government and Third-party payors, which has caused uncertainty to exist at the medical practitioner level causing a delay and decline in demand for our ZMI electrotherapy products. This significantly contributed to a significant decrease in revenues in 2015 and 2014 compared to revenues reported in prior years. The Affordable Care Act dramatically alters the United States health care system and is intended to decrease the number of uninsured Americans and reduce the overall cost of healthcare. The Affordable Care Act attempts to achieve these goals by, among other things, requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance, expanding Medicaid eligibility, reducing Medicare payments to providers, expanding the Medicare program’s use of value-based purchasing programs and instituting certain private health insurance reforms. These factors have resulted in reimbursement changes for durable medical equipment, which has caused uncertainty to exist at the medical practitioner level causing a delay and decline in demand for our ZMI electrotherapy products. We also have experienced coverage and reimbursement challenges from government and Third-party payors related to certain medical indications for our ZMI electrotherapy products, all of which have negatively impacted our revenue and financial results for 2016, 2015 and 2014.

| 12 |

It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Affordable Care Act because of its complexity, lack of implementing regulations and interpretive guidance, gradual and potentially delayed implementation, future potential legal challenges, and possible repeal and/or amendment, as well as the inability to foresee how individuals and businesses will respond to the choices afforded them by the Affordable Care Act. Further complicating predictions regarding the impact of the Affordable Care Act is uncertainty surrounding individual State’s decisions to expand Medicaid, as contemplated by the Affordable Care Act, but made optional by the Supreme Court. The impact of health care reform has had a material adverse effect on our revenue and may continue to do so.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON REIMBURSEMENT FROM INSURANCE COMPANIES; CHANGES IN INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES OR APPLICATION OF THEM HAVE RESULTED IN DECREASED OR DELAYED REVENUES

A large percentage of our revenues come from insurance company and government health care program reimbursement. Upon delivery of our products to our customers, we directly bill the customers’ private insurance company or government payor for reimbursement. If the billed payors do not pay their bills on a timely basis or if they change their policies to exclude or reduce coverage for our products, we would experience a decline in our revenue as well as cash flow. In addition, we may deliver products to customers based on past practices and billing experiences with health insurance companies and have a health insurance company later deny coverage for such products.

In some cases our delivered product may not be covered pursuant to a policy statement of a health insurance provider, despite a payment history of the insurance provider and benefits to the patients. A health insurance provider may seek repayment of amounts previously paid for covered products. We maintain an allowance for provider discounts for amounts intended to cover legitimate requests for repayment. Failure to adequately identify and provide for amounts for resolution of repayment demands in our allowance for provider discounts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. For government health care programs, if we identify a deficiency in prior claims or practices, we may be required to repay amounts previously reimbursed to us by government health care programs.

We frequently receive, and expect to continue to receive, refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in our industry. These requests are sometimes related to a few patients and other times include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. We review and evaluate these requests and determine if any refund is appropriate. We also review claims where we are rebilling or pursuing additional reimbursement from that insurance provider. We frequently have significant offsets against such refund requests which may result in amounts that are due to us in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests we are generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid and should be accrued as a liability. Although we cannot predict whether or when a request for repayment or our subsequent request for reimbursement will be resolved, it is not unusual for such matters to be unresolved for a long period of time. No assurances can be given with respect to our estimates for our allowance for provider discounts for reimbursements and offsets or the ultimate outcome of the refund requests.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company collected $880 from a single insurance company for accounts receivable. The accounts receivable had been previously reduced to zero by the allowance for billing adjustments. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the insurance company verbally communicated to the Company that this payment was made in error and requested it be refunded to the insurance company. The Company recorded this $880 insurance reimbursement as a deferred insurance liability as of March 31, 2016. However, the Company is disputing the refund request and has initiated an internal audit of the reimbursement to determine that the original sales arrangement was properly executed, the products had been shipped and title was transferred (or rental services were rendered), the price of the products or services and the reimbursement rate is fixed and determinable, and the Company’s ultimate claim to the reimbursement is reasonably assured. The Company will record the appropriate amount as net revenue when such internal audit is complete and the Company’s claim to the amount is reasonably assured. To the extent that the Company has to repay any significant portion of the $880, this will exacerbate the Company’s liquidity issues and financial weaknesses

FUTURE CHANGES IN COVERAGE AND REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR REDUCTIONS IN REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR OUR PRODUCTS BY THRID PARTY PAYORS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the United States, our products are prescribed by physicians for their patients. Based on the prescription, which we consider an order, we submit a claim for payment directly to third-party payors such as private commercial insurance carriers, government payors and others as appropriate and the payor reimburses us directly. Federal and state statutes, rules or other regulatory measures that restrict coverage of our products or reimbursement rates could have an adverse effect on our ability to sell or rent our products or cause physical therapists and physicians to dispense and prescribe alternative, lower-cost products.

THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE, RELATED REFUND LIABILITIES, ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PROVIDER DISCOUNTS THAT WE RECOGNIZE, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCURATELY ESTIMATE THESE AMOUNTS, IT COULD IMPACT THE TIMING OF OUR REVENUE RECOGNITION, HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS OR LEAD TO A RESTATEMENT OF OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS

There are significant estimating risks associated with the amount of revenues, related refund liabilities, accounts receivable and provider discounts that we recognize in a reporting period. The billing and collection process is complex due to ongoing insurance coverage changes, geographic coverage differences, differing interpretations of coverage, differing provider discount rates and other third party payor issues. Determining applicable primary and secondary coverage for our customers at any point in time, together with the changes in patient coverage that occur each month, requires complex, resource-intensive processes. Errors in determining the correct coordination of benefits may result in refunds to payors. Revenues associated with government programs are also subject to estimating risk related to the amounts not paid by the primary government payor that will ultimately be collectable from other government programs paying secondary coverage, the patient’s commercial health plan secondary coverage or the patient. Collections, refunds and pay or retractions typically continue to occur for up to three years and longer after our products are provided. While we typically look to our past experience in collections with a payor in estimating ultimate amounts expected to be collected on current billings, nonetheless recent trends and current changes in reimbursement practice, the overall healthcare environment, and other factors could ultimately impact the amount of revenues recorded and the receivables ultimately collected. If our estimates of revenues, related refund liabilities, accounts receivable or provider discounts are materially inaccurate, it could impact the timing of our revenue recognition and have a significant impact on our operating results. It could also lead to a restatement of our financial results.

THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2010 HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS WHICH MAY BE IN PART BENEFICIAL AND IN PART DETRIMENTAL

In March 2010, broad federal health care reform legislation was enacted in the United States. This legislation did not become effective immediately in total, and may be modified prior to the effective date of some provisions. This legislation has had an impact on our business in a variety of ways including increased number of Medicaid recipients, increased number of individuals with commercial insurance, additional audits conducted by public health insurance plans such as Medicaid and Medicare, changes to the rules that govern employer group health insurance and other factors that influence the acquisition and use of health insurance from private and public payors. This legislation has resulted in a change in reimbursement for certain durable medical equipment. We believe the new healthcare legislation and these changes to reimbursement have caused uncertainty with prescribers, which we believe contributed to our drop in orders and revenue during 2014 and 2013 and the lack of any significant increase in 2015. Orders and revenue increased in 2016, however we are currently unable to determine whether such trend will continue in future periods or whether the health care reform legislation will have other adverse consequences to our business and results of operations. To the extent prescribers write fewer prescriptions for our products or there is an adverse change to insurance reimbursement for our products, due to the new law or otherwise, our revenue and profitability will be materially adversely affected.

Effective 2013, there was a 2.3% excise tax on the first sale of medical devices, with certain exceptions. We believe that a majority of our ZMI products are not subject to this tax but currently we can make no assurance. For our products that are or become subject to this excise tax, we are uncertain of our ability to pass this tax on to third parties. Thus far this excise tax has not had a material impact on our financial results.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF CONTINUING HEALTHCARE CHANGES AND REGULATIONS MAY PLACE OUR BUSINESS MODEL IN DOUBT.

As the popular press has made clear, there is substantial doubt on the continuation of the Affordable Care Act and the legislation that the current Congress will enact to replace it, if any. There is also substantial doubt whether, even if the Affordable Care Act remains the law of the land, the president will support it or take regulatory action to negatively impact its benefits. This significant amount of uncertainty creates a significant concern on our customer’s willingness to buy products which may, or may not, be covered by future health care benefits even if they are covered currently.

HOSPITALS AND CLINICIANS MAY NOT BUY, PRESCRIBE OR USE OUR PRODUCTS IN SUFFICIENT NUMBERS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN DECREASED REVENUES AND PROFITS

Hospitals and clinicians may not accept any of our products as effective, reliable, and cost-effective. Factors that could prevent such institutional customer acceptance include:

| ● | If customers conclude that the costs of these products exceed the cost savings associated with the use of these products;
| ● | If customers are financially unable to purchase these products;
| ● | If adverse patient events occur with the use of these products, generating adverse publicity;
| ● | If we lack adequate resources to provide sufficient education and training to our customers;
| ● | If frequent product malfunctions occur, leading clinicians to believe that the products are unreliable;
| ● | Uncertainty regarding or change in government or third party payor reimbursement policies for our products; and
| ● | If physicians or other health care providers believe that our products will not be reimbursed by insurers or decide to prescribe competing products.

Because our sales are dependent on prescriptions from physicians, if any of these or other factors results in fewer prescriptions for our products being written, we will have reduced revenues and may not be able to fully fund operations. Although we experienced an increase in orders for our ZMI products during 2016 compared to prior years, we can make no assurances that demand for our products will not decline in future periods.

| 14 |

ANY NEW COMPETITOR COULD BE LARGER THAN WE AND HAVE GREATER FINANCIAL AND OTHER RESOURCES THAN WE DO AND THOSE ADVANTAGES COULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPETE WITH THEM

Many competitors to our products used to have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources. Competition could result in our need to reduce prices, fewer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share. Our products are regulated by the FDA. Competitors may develop products that are substantially equivalent to our FDA cleared products, thereby using our products as predicate devices to more quickly obtain FDA approval for their own. If overall demand for our products should decrease it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. Substantial competition is expected in the future in the area of stroke rehabilitation that may directly compete with our NeuroMove product. These competitors may use standard or novel signal processing techniques to detect muscular movement and generate stimulation to such muscles. Other companies may develop rehabilitation products that perform better and/or are less expensive than our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the electrotherapy industry experienced a significant development when our largest competitor, Empi announced their exit from the electrotherapy market immediately. Empi previously held a large share of the electrotherapy market. We believe this presents a significant growth opportunity for us. Through March 28, 2017, we have recruited over 74 former Empi sales reps, including those in areas where we had no previous representation. During 2016, our orders have increased to approximately 2,100 per month as compared to an average of 1,100 during 2015. To focus on growth and the potential future positive cash flow, we have committed our limited resources to the new salesforce, the supporting product production and supporting administrative (customer service and billing) personnel.

FAILURE TO KEEP PACE WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES COULD RESULT IN DECREASED REVENUES

The market for some of our products is characterized by rapid change and technological improvements. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments could result in serious harm to our business and operating results. We have derived, and we expect to continue to derive, a substantial portion of our revenues from the development and sale of products in the medical device industry. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market product offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances of our competitors, evolving industry standards and changing patient preferences. There is no assurance that we will keep up with technological improvements.

A THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURER’S INABILITY TO PRODUCE OUR GOODS ON TIME AND TO OUR SPECIFICATIONS COULD RESULT IN LOST REVENUE

Third-party manufacturers assemble and manufacture to our specifications components of the NexWave and NeuroMove and some of our other products. The inability of a manufacturer to ship orders of our products in a timely manner or to meet our quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date requirements of our customers for those items, which could result in cancellation of orders, refusal to accept deliveries or a reduction in purchase prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues. Because of the timing and seriousness of our business, and the medical device industry in particular, the dates on which customers need and require shipments of products from us are critical. Further, because quality is a leading factor when customers, doctors, health insurance providers and distributors accept or reject goods, any decline in quality by our third-party manufacturers could be detrimental not only to a particular order, but also to our future relationship with that particular customer.

IF WE NEED TO REPLACE MANUFACTURERS, OUR EXPENSES COULD INCREASE RESULTING IN SMALLER PROFIT MARGINS

We compete with other companies for the production capacity of our manufacturers and import quota capacity. Some of these competitors have greater financial and other resources than we have, and thus have an advantage in the competition for production and import quota capacity. If we experience a significant increase in demand, or if we need to replace an existing manufacturer, we may have to expand our third-party manufacturing capacity. We cannot assure that this additional capacity will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us or similar to existing terms, which we have with our manufacturers, either from a production standpoint or a financial standpoint. We enter into a number of purchase order commitments specifying a time for delivery, method of payment, design and quality specifications and other standard industry provisions, but do not have long-term contracts with any manufacturer. None of the manufacturers we use produce our products exclusively.

| 15 |

Should we be forced to replace one or more of our manufacturers, we may experience increased costs or an adverse operational impact due to delays in distribution and delivery of our products to our customers, which could cause us to lose customers or lose revenue because of late shipments.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF MR. SANDGAARD OR IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RECRUIT QUALIFIED MANAGERIAL AND SALES PERSONNEL WITH EXPERIENCE IN OUR BUSINESS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of Mr. Thomas Sandgaard, our Chief Executive Officer and Founder and beneficial owner of 54.9% of our outstanding stock. Loss of the services of Mr. Sandgaard could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. There is currently no employment agreement with Mr. Sandgaard. We do not maintain key-man insurance on the life of Mr. Sandgaard. In addition, in order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully retaining and recruiting qualified managerial and sales personnel having experience in our business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. Various factors, such as marketability of our products, our reputation, our liquidity, and sales commission structure can affect our ability to find, attract or retain sales personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified new employees and sales representatives and retain existing employees and sales representatives.

WE NEED TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE COVERAGE, WHICH COULD BECOME VERY EXPENSIVE OR HAVE LIMITED AVAILABILITY

Our marketing and sale of medical device products and services creates an inherent risk of claims for product liability. As a result, we carry product liability insurance and will continue to maintain insurance in amounts we consider adequate to protect us from claims. We cannot, however, be assured that we have resources sufficient to satisfy liability claims in excess of policy limits if required to do so. Also, if we file liability claims, there is no assurance that our insurance provider will continue to insure us at current levels or that our insurance rates will not substantially rise in the future, resulting in increased costs to us or forcing us to either pay higher premiums or reduce our coverage amounts, which would result in increased liability to claims. In addition, in January 2017, we have obtained director and officer insurance that covers current and prior periods.

WE DEPEND UPON OBTAINING REGULATORY APPROVAL OF ANY NEW PRODUCTS AND/OR MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS WE DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN APPROVALS OF CURRENT PRODUCTS; FAILURE TO OBTAIN OR MAINTAIN SUCH REGULATORY APPROVALS COULD RESULT IN INCREASED COSTS, LOST REVENUE, PENALTIES AND FINES

Before marketing any new products, we will need to complete one or more clinical investigations of each product. There can be no assurance that the results of such clinical investigations will be favorable to us. We may not know the results of any study, favorable or unfavorable to us, until after the study has been completed. Such data must be submitted to the FDA as part of any regulatory filing seeking approval to market the product. Even if the results are favorable, the FDA may dispute the claims of safety, efficacy, or clinical utility and not allow the product to be marketed. The sale price of the product may not be enough to recoup the amount of our investment in conducting the investigative studies and we may expend significant funds on research and development on products that are rejected by the FDA. Some of our products are marketed based upon our interpretation of FDA regulation allowing for changes to an existing device. If our interpretations are incorrect, we could suffer consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows and could result in fines and penalties. There can be no assurance that we will have the financial resources to complete development of any new products or to complete the regulatory approval process or to maintain regulatory compliance of existing products.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN CLEARANCE OF A 510 (K) NOTIFICATION OR APPROVAL OF A DENOVO OR PRE-MARKET APPROVAL APPLICATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCTS ON A TIMELY BASIS, IF AT ALL

If timely FDA clearance or approval of new products is not obtained, our business could be materially adversely affected. Clearance of a 510(k) notification or DeNovo application may also be required before marketing certain previously marketed products, which have been modified after they have been cleared. Should the FDA so require, the filing of a new 510(k) notification for the modification of the product may be required prior to marketing any modified devices.

To determine whether adequate compliance has been achieved, the FDA may inspect our facilities at any time. Such compliance can be difficult and costly to achieve and maintain. Our compliance status may change due to future changes in, or interpretations of, FDA regulations or other regulatory agencies. Such changes may result in the FDA withdrawing marketing clearance or requiring product recall. In addition, any changes or modifications to a device or its intended use may require us to reassess compliance with good manufacturing practices guidelines, potentially interrupting the marketing and sale of products. We may also fail to comply with complex FDA regulations due to their complexity or otherwise. Failure to comply with regulations could result in enforceable actions, including product seizures, product recalls, withdrawal of clearances or approvals, and civil and criminal penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and reputation.

WE CONTINUE TO INCUR SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSES

The area of medical device research is subject to rapid and significant technological changes. Developments and advances in the medical industry by either competitors or other parties can affect our business in either a positive or negative manner. Developments and changes in technology that are favorable to us may significantly advance the potential of our research while developments and advances in research methods outside of the methods we are using may severely hinder, or halt completely our development.

We are a small company in terms of employees, technical and research resources and we lack liquidity. We expect to have research and development and sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. These amounts may be expended before any commensurate incremental revenue from these efforts may be obtained and may adversely affect our potential profits and we may lack the liquidity to pay for such expenditures. These factors may also hinder our ability to meet changes in the medical industry as rapidly or effectively as competitors with more resources.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR TRADEMARKS, TRADE SECRETS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO OUR BUSINESS

We consider our trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property an integral component of our success. We rely on trademark law and trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with employees, customers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property. Effective trademark and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our products are available. We currently own no patents. We cannot be certain that we have taken adequate steps to protect our intellectual property, especially in countries where the laws may not protect our rights as fully as in the United States. In addition, if our third-party confidentiality agreements are breached there may not be an adequate remedy available to us. If our trade secrets become publicly known, we may lose competitive advantages.

SUBSTANTIAL COSTS COULD BE INCURRED DEFENDING AGAINST CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT

Other companies, including competitors, may obtain patents or other proprietary rights that would limit, interfere with, or otherwise circumscribe Zynex’s ability to make, use, or sell products. Should there be a successful claim of infringement against us and if we could not license the alleged infringed technology, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. There has been substantial litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the medical device industry. The validity and breadth of claims covered in medical technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. Any litigation claims against us, independent of their validity, may result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources with no assurance of success. Intellectual property claims could cause us to:

| ● | Cease selling, incorporating, or using products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property:
| ● | Obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; and
| ● | Re-design Zynex’s products excluding the infringed intellectual property, which may not be possible.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY RELIANCE ON SOLE SUPPLIERS

Notwithstanding our current multiple supplier approach, in the future certain essential product components may be supplied by sole, or a limited group of, suppliers. Most of our products and components are purchased through purchase orders rather than through long term supply agreements and large volumes of inventory may not be maintained. There may be shortages and delays in obtaining certain product components. Disruption of the supply or inventory of components could result in a significant increase in the costs of these components or could result in an inability to meet the demand for our products. In addition, if a change in the manufacturer of a key component is required, qualification of a new supplier may result in delays and additional expenses in meeting customer demand for products. These factors could adversely affect our revenues and ability to retain our experienced sales force.

OUR PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO RECALL EVEN AFTER RECEIVING FDA OR FOREIGN CLEARANCE OR APPROVAL, WHICH WOULD HARM OUR REPUTATION AND BUSINESS

We are subject to medical device reporting regulations that require us to report to the FDA or respective governmental authorities in other countries if our products cause or contribute to a death or serious injury or malfunction in a way that would be reasonably likely to contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. The FDA and similar governmental authorities in other countries have the authority to require the recall of our products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacturing. A government mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors or design defects, including defects in labeling.

| 17 |

Any recall would divert managerial and financial resources and could harm our reputation with customers. We cannot assure you that we will not have product recalls in the future or that such recalls would not have a material adverse effect on our business. We have not undertaken any voluntary or involuntary recalls to date.

OUR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER OWNS A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN OUR VOTING STOCK AND IS OUR SOLE DIRECTOR AND INVESTORS WILL NOT HAVE ANY VOICE IN OUR MANAGEMENT

Our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chairman and sole Director, Thomas Sandgaard, beneficially owns approximately 54.9% of our outstanding common stock as of March 28, 2017. As a result, Mr. Sandgaard has the ability to control substantially all day to day operations of our company and all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including:

| ● | Election of our board of directors;
| ● | Removal of any of our directors;
| ● | Amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;
| ● | Approval of significant corporate transactions, such as a sale, merger or liquidation of our Company; and
| ● | Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.

MATERIAL WEAKNESSES IN OUR INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS

We are a small company with limited resources and only a single executive officer and director. In connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, management identified a material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. As of December 31, 2016 management determined that the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the financial statement close process related to the timely account reconciliation, analysis and assessment of key accounting estimates and financial reporting and disclosure was not in place. This was directly impacted by a limitation on current accounting resources and staffing resulting in limited capabilities for us to conduct independent reviews over the preparation of the related work product. Management has identified remediation efforts which we plan to implement during 2017 to address this weakness.

As previously reported and not remediated as of and during the year ended December 31, 2016, we reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as we do not currently have an independent audit committee overseeing our internal controls, or an independent member of our Board. In addition, we have material weaknesses due to a lack of segregation of duties within our accounting and approval process.

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 a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis. While we are committed to improving our financial controls, our ability to do so is limited as a result of a lack of working capital and other capital resources to do so. If we do not remediate these weaknesses in the future, in addition to any impact on our stock price, it could also impact our ability to raise capital and could affect adversely our reputation, which collaterally could affect our ability to retain sales personnel and business relationships with insurance companies paying for our products and vendors.

When we are financially able to, we intend to consider taking the following actions, subject to the availability of funds: (1) hire a full time Chief Financial Officer, who will also serve as Principal Financial Officer, (2) appoint outside independent directors to our Board of Directors and utilize an independent audit committee of the Board of Directors who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures (when funds and/or additional resources are available to us), (3) hire additional qualified accounting personnel, and (4) retain and utilize an outside independent consulting firm to assist us with assessing and testing the effectiveness of our ICFR (when funds and/or additional resources are available to us). We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our ICFR on an ongoing basis, and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

WE MAY FAIL TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY, INTEGRITY AND SECURITY OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION

We possess and process sensitive customer information and Protected Health Information protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Affordability Act (“HIPAA”). While we have taken reasonable and appropriate steps to protect that information, if our security procedures and controls were compromised, it could harm our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition and may increase the costs we incur to protect against such information security breaches, such as increased investment in technology, the costs of compliance with health care privacy and consumer protection laws. A compromise of our privacy or security procedures could also subject us to liability under certain health care privacy laws applicable to us.

EXPANSION OF OUR OPERATIONS AND SALES INTERNATIONALLY MAY SUBJECT US TO ADDITIONAL RISKS, INCLUDING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH UNEXPECTED EVENTS

A component of our growth strategy is to expand our operations and sales internationally. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully market, sell and deliver our products in foreign markets, or that we will be able to successfully expand our international operations. Global operations could cause us to be subject to unexpected, uncontrollable and rapidly changing risks, events and circumstances.

| 18 |

The following factors, among others, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations:

| ● | failure to properly comply with U.S. and foreign laws and regulations applicable to our foreign activities including, without limitation, product approval, healthcare and employment law requirements and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
| ● | difficulties in managing foreign operations and attracting and retaining appropriate levels of senior management and staffing;
| ● | longer cash collection cycles;
| ● | proper compliance with local tax laws which can be complex and may result in unintended adverse tax consequences;
| ● | difficulties in enforcing agreements through foreign legal systems;
| ● | fluctuations in exchange rates that may affect product demand and may adversely affect the profitability in U.S. dollars of the products we provide in foreign markets;
| ● | the ability to efficiently repatriate cash to the United States and transfer cash between foreign jurisdictions; and
| ● | changes in general economic conditions or political circumstances in countries where we operate.

As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our global operations and reduce our global sales, adversely affecting our business and future financial performance.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE “PENNY STOCK” RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK

Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any stock exchange and no other exemptions may apply, trading in our common stock on the OTC Markets may be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC. These rules require, among other things, that any broker engaging in a transaction in our securities provide its customers with a risk disclosure document, disclosure of market quotations, if any, disclosure of the compensation of the broker and its salespersons in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market values of our securities held in the customer’s accounts. The brokers must provide bid and offer quotations and compensation information before making any purchase or sale of a penny stock and also provide this information in the customer’s confirmation. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

SALES OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SHARES HELD BY MR. SANDGAARD, OR THE PROSPECT OF THESE SALES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK

Sales of significant amounts of shares held by Mr. Sandgaard, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a resolution in certain issues in his divorce, in December 2015 Mr. Sandgaard transferred 250,000 shares of common stock he owned to the former Mrs. Sandgaard, which shares will become tradeable by Ms. Sandgaard after complying with the legal requirements under Rule 144 and other guidance. Mr. Sandgaard’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price. Mr. Sandgaard has no control whether or when Ms. Sandgaard may choose to sell those shares or other shares of the Company’s common stock she may own.

BECAUSE WE HAVE NO PLANS TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS MUST LOOK SOLELY TO STOCK APPRECIATION FOR A RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT IN US

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that the board of directors deems relevant.

Investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their current investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Given the extremely small trading volume, it is unlikely that any shareholder will be able to achieve a significant profit even if the stock price rises (of which there can be no assurance).

| 19 |

OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS HAVE EXPERIENCED DILUTION AS A RESULT OF SHARES ISSUED TO THE BROKER-DEALER INVOLVED IN OUR RECENT PLACEMENT OF DEBT AND WILL EXPERIENCE FURTHER DILUTION IF WE ELECT TO RAISE EQUITY CAPITAL TO MEET OUR LIQUIDITY NEEDS

Due to our current liquidity issues, we have to raise capital in the form of debt and/or equity to meet working capital needs. Such action will likely require that we issue equity (or debt) securities which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Although we will attempt to minimize the dilutive impact of any future capital-raising activities, we cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we are successful in raising additional working capital, we may have to issue additional shares of our common stock at prices at a discount from the then-current market price of our common stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our headquarters and operations are located in approximately 17,000 square feet in Lone Tree, Colorado. In October 2014, we negotiated the termination of our then existing building lease and entered into a new lease agreement for the current space. This space is leased under an agreement which expires in December 2018, at an annual average lease expense of approximately $457,000 over the term of the lease. We also lease a small office/warehouse in Denmark. We believe that these leased properties are sufficient to support our requirements until the leases expire. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these leases.

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

We currently have six subsidiaries; Zynex Medical, Inc. (ZMI), Zynex Europe, Aps (ZEU), Zynex Monitoring Solutions Inc. (ZMS), Zynex NeuroDiagnostics, Inc. (ZND), Zynex Billing and Consulting, LLC (ZBC) and Pharmazy, Inc (Pharmazy). We operate in one primary business segment through our subsidiary, ZMI, Electrotherapy and Pain Management Products, which represents 100% total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016. ZMI dba as Pharmazy, which was closed during January 2016, products represented 0.1% and 9.7% of net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. ZBC, which ceased providing services in April 2015, represented approximately 0.0% and 0.4% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. (see Item 1 “Business” for a full description of the subsidiaries).

The following information should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in this Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ( dollars in thousands, except per share )

Summary

Our 2016 revenues increased by 14.4% from the 2015 calendar year driven by a year over year orders increase of 82.9%.

Historically, revenues have decreased by 64% from the 2012 calendar year to the 2016 calendar year due to a number of reasons discussed below, but primarily as a result of changes from the Affordable Care Act and Medicare’s reimbursement practices. Issues of uncertainty with regard to the future of the Affordable Care Act and any replacement healthcare program developed by the Congress or Presidential action which may impact healthcare are likely to continue the uncertainty within the industry and have a negative impact on our operations.

During the 2013 and 2014, we were not able to reduce expenses significantly to maintain our earlier profit margins and, in fact, incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows. As a result, we have negative working capital, inadequate liquidity, are in default under our agreement with our principal lender, and our key vendors now require payment in advance. As a result, our inventory remains at a low level and we have less flexibility in fulfilling orders – which negatively impacts our anticipated revenues.

More significantly, as discussed above and below, our principal creditor has agreed to forbear in any loan default enforcement actions and has allowed us to continue to use our revenues for our business operations through June 30, 2017. The Company and the Lender have not reached any agreement by which the Lender will agree to continue to forbear exercising its default remedies and the Company cannot offer any assurance that it will be able to enter into any such agreement with the Lender. If we are unable to refinance or extend the remainder of the debt ($2.2 million as of March 31, 2017) before the Lender starts to assert its rights under the loan agreement resulting from the Company’s default, we may not be able to continue business operations.

Our plans for continuing operations involve maintaining our business operations as best we are able while we are seeking debt or equity financing which will allow us to satisfy our obligations to our principal lender and our vendors. We believe that we have achieved the necessary business efficiencies to provide for continuing operations if we are able to overcome our liquidity shortage. To help address the liquidity shortage, the Company raised approximately $1.035 million in a private placement completed through Newbridge Securities Corporation in February 2017 ($0.539 million after deducting expenses of the offering and a $0.342 million repayment of principal to our principal lender, Triumph Healthcare Finance). Since receiving those funds, we have used a portion of the funds for production of devices and supplies. Those funds are insufficient for the long-term survival of Zynex

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ( dollars in thousands, except per share )

Background

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we reported net income of $69 and net loss of $2,911, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 we had no available borrowing under our line of credit (which the lender declared to be in default in July 2014) although, based on an interim agreement with our lender, the lender continues to release cash collateral to us based on our cash collections. Our working capital deficit at December 31, 2016 totaled $(4,323) as compared to $(4,773) at December 31, 2015, which represents a working capital increase of $450. Our prior losses, limited liquidity and working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our operating plans for 2017 emphasize revenue growth and cash flow; focusing our attention on increasing the number of sales representatives, promoting our NexWave device, continued improvements to our billing organization and processes and reducing and controlling administrative expenses.

Net revenues are comprised of product and supply sales and rental billings, reduced by estimated insurance company or governmental agency (collectively “Third-party Payors”) reimbursement deductions and an allowance for uncollectible accounts.

Total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $13,313 compared to $11,641 in 2015. This is a significant decline from revenues in 2013 and 2012 of approximately $21.7 million and $39.7 million, respectively. The primary reasons for the decline in revenue were (i) the impact of Medicare and healthcare reform, (ii) a loss of Zynex’s independent sales force to sell transdermal compounded pain cream from competing pharmacies rather than focusing on selling the our Electrotherapy products and,(iii) in the latter part of 2012, the elimination of Medicare reimbursement for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation ( TENS) Electrotherapy products for low-back pain while still covering TENS for other indications. Medicare also continued increasing the paperwork and documentation requirements for reimbursement. As a result, late in 2013 Zynex began declining orders for Medicare and Medicaid patients. Commercial and workers’ compensation insurance plans continue to reimburse at similar levels as in previous years and have not adopted Medicare’s limited coverage.

During the second quarter of 2014, we narrowed our focus to the NexWave, InWave and NeuroMove electrotherapy products and continued to build the sales representative group for our electrotherapy solutions. As a result, during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a charge to cost of revenue -noncore inventory write-off in the amount of $2,655 ($2,005 of inventory and $650 of rental units). We continued to narrow our focus during 2015 by closing our billing consulting services in April 2015 and closing our compound pain cream operations in January 2016.

During 2016 and 2015, in an effort to minimize the impact of these challenges, we restructured our internal operations, including manufacturing, billing and customer service; and made reductions in our fixed expenses by cutting our administrative costs by approximately $2,200 in 2015 and holding these costs relatively flat in 2016, principally through reductions in headcount and facilities rent.

| · | Administrative compensation expense decreased from $10,611 in 2013 to $5,872 in 2014, $4,742 in 2015, and increased to $5,458 in 2016. Administrative headcount has been reduced from 213 employees at December 31, 2012 and 109 at December 31, 2013, to 74 at December 31, 2014, 52 at December 31, 2015 and 41 at December 31, 2016. We stabilized our expenses associated with administrative employee headcount. We continue to expand our direct and independent sales representative network, all of which are paid on a commission basis.
| · | In October 2014, we negotiated a termination agreement for its existing building lease and a new lease agreement with our landlord relating to our headquarters located in Lone Tree, Colorado. Under the terms of the termination agreement, among other things, the existing headquarters building lease terminated on December 31, 2014; we agreed to consolidate our operations into approximately one-third of the total square footage we occupied previously; monthly rental payments were reduced from approximately $129 to $43 for the period from September 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014; and, the terms of the new lease took effect January 1, 2015. The terms of the current lease entered into on August 12, 2016 include, among other things, a term of two years and monthly base rental payments of approximately $38 and, the right for either party to terminate the lease without future liability with 90 days written notice from either party.

| 25 |

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the electrotherapy industry experienced a significant development when our largest competitor, Empi announced closing their business in the electrotherapy market immediately. Empi previously held a large share of the electrotherapy market. We believe this presents us a significant growth opportunity. Through March 22, 2017, we have recruited over 74 former Empi sales representatives, including those in areas where we had no previous representation. During 2016, our orders have increased to an average of 2,100 per month as compared to an average of 1,100 in 2015. To focus on growth and the potential future positive cash flow, we have committed our limited resources to the new salesforce, the supporting product production and supporting administrative (customer service and billing) personnel.

We are not in compliance with the financial covenants under the terms of our line of credit with Triumph Healthcare Finance, a division of TBK Bank, SSB (formerly known as Triumph Community Bank (the “Lender”). In July 2014, the Lender notified us that it would no longer make additional loans under the credit agreement and that it was exercising its default remedies under the credit agreement, including, among others, accelerating the repayment of all outstanding obligations under the credit agreement and collecting our bank deposits to apply towards the outstanding obligations. The Lender agreed to forbear from the exercise of its rights and remedies under the terms of the credit agreement through June 30, 2017 and continues to release cash collateral to us based on our cash collections. We are obligated to decrease the Lender’s outstanding balance by at least $100 per month. As of March 31, 2017, we had $2,200 of outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement compared to $4,002 on December 31, 2015. This reduction in the line of credit primarily results from increased accounts receivable collections, principally from a single insurance carrier, and proceeds from a private placement completed through Newbridge Securities Corporation in February 2017. The insurance company verbally communicated to the Company that this payment was made in error and requested it be refunded to the insurance company, as discussed herein the Company is conducting an internal audit of this issue. . The Company and the Lender continue to negotiate the terms of an accelerated repayment of the amounts outstanding under the credit agreement and continued extension of the forbearance agreement. However, no assurance can be given that the Lender will continue to release cash collateral, or that the parties will agree on a repayment plan acceptable to us.

We are actively seeking additional financing through the issuance of debt or sale of equity. The additional capital is to refinance or replace the line of credit and to provide the additional working capital necessary to continue our business operations. The net losses and negative working capital may make it difficult to raise any new capital and any such capital raised (if any) may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. We are not certain whether any such financing would be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, any additional debt would require the approval of the Lender. A significant component of our negative working capital at December 31, 2016 is the amount due under our line of credit and past due accounts payable, all of which is considered a current liability.

| 26 |

Our business plan for 2017 focuses on our effort to attain external financing, the Lender’s continued support, the vendors continued support and attaining positive cash flows from organic growth. The accomplishment of organic growth in revenues and cash flows is dependent on taking advantage of the Empi opportunity to gain market share and the increase the number of sales representatives selling Zynex products, successfully promoting our EZ Rx Prescription program and continued improvements to our billing organization and processes. Our long-term business plan contemplates organic growth in revenues through an increase in the electrotherapy market share and the addition of new products such as the ZMS Blood Volume Monitor.

We continue to make progress on the development of the Blood Volume Monitor, a noninvasive device that monitors a patient’s fluid level during surgery or recovery. The device alerts the doctors or nurses in real time that a patient is losing fluid (blood). We filed our complete application for clearance with the FDA during the third quarter of 2015, received comments in October 2016 and responded to the FDA in November.

We have and will continue to seek external financing and monitor and control our sales growth, product production needs and administrative costs going forward. We believe that as a result of the growth opportunities coupled with the reduced administrative expenses, the securing of additional capital, the continued support of our Lender, and the continued support of our vendors to work with us on the slow payment of past due bills, that the cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund the our cash requirements through the next twelve months. Management believes that its cash flow projections for 2017 are achievable and that sufficient cash will be generated to meet our currently restrained operating requirements. Such cash is projected to be generated by securing external financing, retaining the continued support of the Lender and vendors, and increasing cash flow from operations generated from organic growth. There is no guarantee that we will be able to meet the requirements of our 2017 cash flow projections or that we will be able to address our working capital shortages; the principal component of which is the negative working capital (principally the line of credit and past due accounts payable which are considered a current liability in their entirety).

There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional external financing, the Lender will continue to release cash collateral, the vendors will continue to work with slow repayment terms and the sales and cash flow growth are attainable and sustainable. Our dependence on operating cash flows means that risks involved in our business can significantly affect our liquidity. Contingencies such as unanticipated shortfalls in revenues or increases in expenses could affect our projected revenues, cash flows from operations and liquidity, which may force us to curtail its operating plan or impede our growth.

Net Revenue

Net revenues are comprised of sales (product, transdermal pain creams and consumable supplies) and rental billings, reduced by estimated Third-party Payors reimbursement deductions and an allowance for uncollectible amounts. The reserve for billing allowance adjustments and allowance for uncollectible accounts are adjusted on an ongoing basis in conjunction with the processing of Third-party Payor insurance claims and other customer collection history. Net revenue includes the rental of our transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) products, the sale of our TENS products, consumable supplies and transdermal pain creams and, through the first quarter of 2015, our billing consulting services. As of January 2016, we no longer offered our transdermal pain creams for sale and they are not part of our 2016 revenue base.

Our electrotherapy products may be rented on a monthly basis or purchased. Renters and purchasers are primarily patients and healthcare insurance providers on behalf of patients. Our electrotherapy products may also be purchased by dealers and distributors. If a patient is covered by health insurance, the Third-party Payor typically determines whether the patient will rent or purchase a unit depending on the anticipated time period for its use. Under certain Third-party Payor contracts, a rental continues until an amount equal to the purchase price is paid then we transfer ownership of the product to the patient and cease rental charges; while other rentals continue during the period of patient use of the equipment. For all patients using our electrotherapy products, we also sell consumable supplies, consisting primarily of surface electrodes and batteries. Revenue for the electrotherapy products is reported net, after adjustments for estimated insurance company reimbursement deductions and estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The deductions are known throughout the health care industry as “billing adjustments” whereby the healthcare insurers unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse for our products as compared to the rental rates and sales prices charged by us. The deductions from gross revenue also take into account the estimated denials, net of resubmitted billings of claims for products placed with patients which may affect collectability. See our Significant Accounting Policies in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete explanation of our revenue recognition policies.

We continually pursue improvements to our processes of billing insurance providers. We review all claims which are initially denied or not received and rental claims not billed for the full period of use. As these situations are identified and resolved, the appropriate party is appropriately rebilled (resubmitted) or, for those claims not previously billed, billed.

We frequently receive, and expect to continue to receive, refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in our industry. These requests are sometimes related to a few patients and other times include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. We review and evaluate these requests and determine if any refund is appropriate. We also review claims where we are rebilling or pursuing additional reimbursement from that insurance provider. We frequently have significant offsets against such refund requests which may result in amounts that are due to us in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests we are generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid and should be accrued as a liability.

As of December 31, 2016, we believe we have an adequate allowance for billing adjustments relating to known insurance disputes and refund requests. However, no assurances can be given with respect to such estimates of reimbursements and offsets or the ultimate outcome of any refund requests.

Net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the followings:

|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Product Rentals |  | $ | 4,409 |  |  |  | 33.1 | % |  | $ | 2,480 |  |  |  | 21.3 | %
Product Sales |  |  | 4,605 |  |  |  | 34.6 | % |  |  | 2,954 |  |  |  | 25.4 | %
Supplies Sales |  |  | 4,281 |  |  |  | 32.2 | % |  |  | 5,035 |  |  |  | 43.2 | %
Pharmazy Sales |  |  | 18 |  |  |  | 0.1 | % |  |  | 1,126 |  |  |  | 9.7 | %
Billing Consulting and other |  |  | 0 |  |  |  | 0.0 | % |  |  | 46 |  |  |  | .4 | %
|  | $ | 13,313 |  |  |  | 100.0 | % |  | $ | 11,641 |  |  |  | 100.0 | %

Product Rental Revenue for 2016 increased $1,929 (77.80%) to $4,409 from $2,480 during 2015. The increase in Product Rental Revenue for 2016 reflects the pursuit of additional reimbursements for rental claims which had not previously been billed for the periods of use. During 2016, and principally in the fourth quarter of 2016, management identified a number of rental patients who were continuing to use our units, but for which rent had not yet been billed to Third-party Payors. This matter was identified during the quarter as part of our internal enhancement and upgrading of the billing department leadership and personnel. In those situations where Zynex could retroactively bill the insurance carrier, the insurance coverage was re-verified (it had also been verified originally) and the insurance carrier was billed for the appropriate dates of service. In addition, as a result of the delay in these billings, management has recorded an additional reserve in excess of our historical collection rate against these rental billings.

Product Sales Revenue for 2016 increased $1,651 (55.89%) to $4,605 compared to $2,954 in 2015. This was a result of increased orders in 2016 of 25,421 compared to 13,900 in 2015. Supplies Sales Revenue for 2016 decreased $754 (-14.98%) to $4,281 from $5,035 during 2015.

Pharmazy Sales Revenue for 2016 decreased $1,108 (98.40%) to $18 compared to $1,126 in 2015. This was a result of shutting down this business to focus on our core (Electrotherapy products) and future (blood volume monitor) business.

Billing Consulting and other revenue for 2016 decreased to zero as we terminated the billing consulting services in the second quarter of 2015.

Patient orders totaled approximately 25,421 in 2016 as compared to 13,900 in 2015. During 2016 new order growth reflects the opportunity provided by Empi withdrawing from the market in late 2015 (discussed above) and the hiring of additional sales representatives.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenue –rental, product and supply for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Rental depreciation |  | $ | 251 |  |  | $ | 142 |
Product and supply costs |  |  | 1,457 |  |  |  | 1,487 |
Operations labor and overhead |  |  | 1,114 |  |  |  | 1,144 |
Shipping costs |  |  | 651 |  |  |  | 566 |
Pharmazy costs |  |  | 14 |  |  |  | 342 |
Field inventory write-off |  |  | 30 |  |  |  | 1,256 |
|  | $ | 3,517 |  |  | $ | 4,937 |

The rental depreciation represents the net change in the depreciation of rental assets, which are included in property and equipment.

Product and supply costs increased $0 (0.0%) for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to 2015; due to liquidity issues, unfulfilled orders remained on December 31, 2016. Operations labor and overhead, which includes the production department labor and associated overhead (principally rent), decreased $30 (-2.6%). The decreased costs primarily reflect a reduction in administrative overhead expenses.

Shipping expenses increased $85 (15.0%) for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to 2015. The higher costs reflect growth in product sales.

Pharmazy material costs decreased as a result of closing the Pharmacy operation in January 2016.

During the fourth quarter of 2015 we wrote off the remaining non-productive field inventory (as discussed above).

Other income (expense) is comprised of interest and other expense.

Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, was $352, compared to $503 for the same period in 2015. The decrease in interest expense is the result of lower average borrowings in the 2016 periods. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other expense of $204 and $7 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, resulting primarily from a loss on disposal of assets.

Income Tax Benefit/Expense

We reported an income tax expense of $15 and income tax benefit of $57 (18% and 0% effective tax rate) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The expense resulted from income. The benefits resulted from additional refunds related to the carry back of 2013 operating losses in 2014. We have generated an income tax net operating loss (NOL) carryforward of $10,362 for federal purposes and $19,332 for state purposes as of December 31, 2016, which is available to offset taxable income in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ( dollars in thousands )

Line of Credit

We have an asset-backed revolving credit facility under a Loan and Security Agreement as amended, (the “Triumph Agreement”) with TBK Bank, SSB, a division of Triumph Community Bank (the “Lender”). The Triumph Agreement contains certain customary restrictive and financial covenants for asset-backed credit facilities.

As of December 31, 2016, we were not in compliance with the financial covenants under the Triumph Agreement. On July 14, 2014, we received notice from the Lender of an event of default under the Triumph Agreement. The notice relates to our default under the minimum debt service coverage ratio requirement for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and certain other alleged defaults. The Lender notified us that it was exercising its default remedies under the Triumph Agreement, including, among others, accelerating the repayment of all outstanding obligations under the Triumph Agreement (outstanding principal and accrued interest) and collecting our bank deposits to apply towards the outstanding obligations. The Company and the Lender are negotiating the terms of an accelerated repayment of the amounts outstanding under the Triumph Agreement and the Lender. Pursuant to the lockbox arrangement, the Lender sweeps daily our collected cash, withholds fees and the $85 per month in principal reduction we have agreed to pay (as discussed herein) and releases the remaining cash flow to us. However, no assurance can be given that the Lender will continue to permit such an agreement or that the parties will agree on a repayment plan acceptable to us. If the Lender insists upon immediate repayment, we may be forced to seek protection from creditors.

As of December 31, 2016 $2,771 was outstanding under the Triumph Agreement and zero was available for borrowing based on the default status. Borrowings under the Triumph Agreement bear interest at the default interest rate. As of December 31, 2016, the effective interest rate under the Triumph Agreement was approximately 11.0% (6.75% interest rate plus 3% additional default interest rate and 1.25% fees). The Triumph Agreement requires monthly interest payments in arrears on the first date of each month. The Triumph Agreement matured on December 19, 2014. Triumph has agreed to forbear from the exercise of its rights and remedies under the terms of the Triumph Agreement through June 30, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the December 16, 2016 forbearance agreement. The Triumph Agreement requires a lockbox arrangement whereby all receipts are swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding. We are obligated to reduce the loan balance by at least $100 each month. In connection with the agreement entered into on March 28, 2016, the Lender suspended this monthly payment requirement for February, March and April of 2016 up to an aggregate cap of $250, in exchange for the issuance of a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to December 31, 2016, in March of 2017 and in connection with the Offering (described below), we paid our Lender $342 as reduction of borrowings outstanding.

Limited Liquidity

As a result of the minimum income during the year ended December 31, 2016 and losses we suffered in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the default under our Credit Agreement, and other factors, we have significant working capital deficits of $(4,323) at December 31, 2016 as compared to $(4,773) at December 31, 2015. As a result of this negative working capital and resulting limited liquidity, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our Lender could, in its discretion, cease releasing cash collateral to us based on our cash collections and, at that point we would have no remaining liquidity or ability to pay our debts.

Our Credit Agreement default and resulting limited liquidity are primarily a result of (a) our significant reduction of revenue and inability to cut costs at the same pace in 2013 and 2014, (b) the high level of outstanding accounts receivable because of deferred payment practices of Third-party Payors, (c) the previously required high levels of inventory kept with sales representatives or held at the offices of health care providers that are standard in the electrotherapy industry, (d) the delayed cost recovery inherent in rental transactions, and (e) expenditures required for on-going product development.

Our negative working capital of $4,323 as of December 31, 2016 and limited liquidity may restrict our ability to carry out our current business plans and curtail our future revenue growth. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we reported cash provided by operating activities of $1,769 and a net income of $69 for the same period. As noted above, we are not in compliance with the financial covenants under the terms of our line of credit. These conditions raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We are actively seeking additional financing through the issuance of debt or sale of equity and monitoring and controlling our sales growth, product production needs and administrative costs going forward. The additional capital is to refinance or replace the line of credit and to provide the additional working capital necessary to continue our business operations. The net losses and negative working capital may make it difficult to raise any new capital and any such capital raised (if any) may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. We are not certain whether any such financing would be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, any additional debt would require the approval of the Lender.

Commencing in November of 2016, the Company conducted a private placement on a “best efforts, minimum-maximum” basis of 12% unsecured, subordinated promissory notes (with shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued six months after issuance of the notes), for a minimum of $1,000,000 and a maximum of $1,500,000 pursuant to Sections 4(a)(2) and 4(a)(5) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Rule 506(b) of the 1933 Act (the “Offering”). The Offering was conducted through a FINRA registered broker, Newbridge Securities Corporation (“Newbridge”). On February 28, 2017, the Company conducted a closing under the Offering and issued promissory notes totaling $1,035,000. Newbridge was compensated in connection with sales made in the Offering consisting of (i) a cash amount equaling 10% commissions and a 3% non-accountable expense allowance, (ii) 776,250 shares of our Common Stock and (iii) a due diligence fee of $15,000. In connection with the Offering, we also paid our Lender $342 as repayment of principal and interest on the outstanding obligations.30

| 30 |

We believe that as a result of identified growth opportunities (primarily with respect to the Empi, Inc. closure discussed elsewhere herein) coupled with the reduced administrative expenses, the securing of additional capital, the continued support of our Lender, and the continued support of our vendors to work us on the slow payment of past due bills; that our cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements through the next twelve months. There is no guarantee that we will be able to meet the requirements of our 2017 cash flow projection or will be able to address our working capital shortages; the principal component of which is the negative working capital (importantly the line of credit and past due accounts payable which are considered a current liability in their entirety).

Our dependence on operating cash flow means that risks involved in our business can significantly affect our liquidity. Contingencies such as unanticipated shortfalls in revenues or increases in expenses could affect our projected revenues, cash flows from operations and liquidity, which may force us to curtail our operating plan or impede our growth.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1,769 and $341 for the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The change in cash from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was primarily the result of the net income reported for the year, increase in accounts payable offset by increases in accounts receivable, and decrease of inventory.

Cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $174 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $108 for 2015. Cash provided by, or used in investing activities, primarily represents cash flows relating to the change in inventory held for rental offset by the purchase of equipment.

Cash used by financing activities was $1,304 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared with $504 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The primary use of cash during these periods was net repayments on the line of credit and payments on capital lease obligations.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the future cash disbursements to which we are contractually committed as of December 31, 2016.

|  | Total |  |  | 1 Year |  |  | 2-3 Years |  |  | 4-5 Years |  |  | 5+ Years |
Line of credit |  | $ | 2,771 |  |  | $ | 2,771 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Capital lease obligations |  |  | 254 |  |  |  | 118 |  |  |  | 136 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |

In August 2016, we negotiated a lease agreement for our existing building lease and a new lease agreement with our landlord relating to our headquarters located in Lone Tree, Colorado. The terms of the new lease agreement, which took effect October 1, 2016, included, among other things, a term of two years, and fixed monthly rental payments of approximately $38. We anticipate that for accounting purposes, it will have an annual rental expense of $457 for 2017. The lease contains customary events of default, termination, maintenance, indemnification and other lease terms.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, ZEU entered into an annual rental agreement for a small office/warehouse space (approximately 250 square feet) in Denmark, which can be terminated within 120 days’ notice. Annual rent totals 45,000 Danish kroner (approximately $7 USD using 2016 year-end exchange rates).

Off – Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

| 31 |

Revenue Recognition , Allowance for Billing Adjustments and Collectability

The Company recognizes revenue when each of the following four conditions are met: 1) a contract or sales arrangement exists, 2) products have been shipped and title has transferred, or rental services have been rendered, 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable, and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue when medical units and supplies are shipped or, for medical units sold from consigned inventory, when it receives notice that the product has been prescribed and delivered to the patient. The Company, prior to recognizing revenue verifies the patient’s insurance coverage or obtained the insurance company preauthorization, when required. Revenue from supplies is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from the rental of products is normally on a month-to-month basis and is recognized ratably over the products’ rental period. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized when the Company ships its products. Revenue is reported net, after adjustments for estimated insurance company or governmental agency (collectively “Third-party Payors”) reimbursement deductions and, for wholesale customers and patient billings, an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Third-party Payor reimbursement deductions are known throughout the health care industry as “billing adjustments” whereby the Third-party Payors unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse for the Company’s products.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are derived, and the related receivables are due, from Third-party Payors. The nature of these receivables within the medical industry has typically resulted in long collection cycles. The process of determining what products will be reimbursed by Third-party Payors and the amounts that they will reimburse is complex and depends on conditions and procedures that vary among providers and may change from time to time. The Company maintains an allowance for billing adjustments and an allowance for doubtful accounts. Billing adjustments result from reimbursements from Third-party Payors that are less than amounts claimed and from where the amount claimed by the Company exceeds the Third-party Payors usual, customary and reasonable reimbursement rate. The Company determines the amount of the allowance and adjusts it at the end of each reporting period, based on a number of factors, including historical rates of collection, the aging of the receivables, trends in the historical rates of collection and current relationships and experience with the Third-party Payors. If the rates of collection of past-due receivables recorded for previous fiscal periods changes, or if there is a trend in the rates of collection on those receivables, the Company may be required to change the rate at which it provides for additions to the allowance. A change in the rates of the Company’s collections can result from a number of factors, including experience and training of billing personnel, changes in the reimbursement policies or practices of Third-party Payors, or changes in industry rates of reimbursement. We believe we have a sufficient history of collection experience to estimate the net collectible amounts by payor. However, changes to the allowance for billing adjustments and uncollectible accounts, which are recorded in the income statement as a reduction of revenue, have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Due to the nature of the medical industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values (also known as net collectible value). Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain products or services from payors or unanticipated requirements to refund payments previously received may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Due to continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, as well as changes in our billing practices to increase cash collections, it is possible that management’s estimates could change in the near term, which could have an impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Any differences between estimated settlements and final determinations are reflected as an increase or a reduction to revenue in the period when such final determinations are known.

| 32 |

The Company frequently receives refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in the Company’s industry. These requests are sometimes related to a limited number of patients or products; at other times, they include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. The Company reviews and evaluates these requests and determines if any refund request is appropriate. The Company also reviews these refund claims when it is rebilling or pursuing reimbursement from that insurance provider. The Company frequently has significant offsets against such refund requests, and sometimes amounts are due to the Company in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests, the Company is generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid and should be accrued. Such refunds are accrued when the amount is fixed and determinable.

However, no assurances can be given with respect to such estimates of reimbursements and offsets or the ultimate outcome of any refund requests. In addition to the allowance for billing adjustments, the Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for wholesale (sales to distributors) sales and certain patient billings. Uncollectible accounts receivable are primarily a result of non-payment from patients who have been direct billed for co-payments or deductibles, lack of appropriate insurance coverage and disallowances of charges by Third-party Payors. If there is a change to a material insurance provider contract or policy, application by a provider, a decline in the economic condition of providers or a significant turnover of Company billing personnel resulting in diminished collection effectiveness, the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable may not be adequate and may result in an increase in the future.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable on commercial and wholesale accounts and patient billings total $2,481 and $1,996, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company believes its accounts receivable is reasonably stated at its net realizable / collectible value and has an adequate allowance for billing adjustments relating to all known insurance disputes and refund requests.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded a liability for deferred revenue in the amount of $54 and $89, respectively. Deferred revenue represents amounts paid by Third-party Payors for consumable supplies that were not yet shipped to patients as of that date.

Deferred Insurance Reimbursement

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company collected $880 from a single insurance company for accounts receivable. The accounts receivable had been previously reduced to zero by the allowance for billing adjustments. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the insurance company verbally communicated to the Company that this payment was made in error and requested it be refunded to the insurance company. The Company recorded this $880 insurance reimbursement as a deferred insurance liability. However, the Company is disputing the refund request and has initiated an internal audit of the reimbursement to determine that the original sales arrangement was properly executed, the products had been shipped and title was transferred (or rental services were rendered), the price of the products or services and the reimbursement rate is fixed and determinable, and the Company’s ultimate claim to the reimbursement is reasonably assured. The Company will record the appropriate amount as net revenue when such internal audit is complete and the Company’s claim to the amount is reasonably assured. No further communication has been received from the insurance company regarding the payment or requested refund.

Inventory

Inventory, which primarily represents finished goods, are valued at the lower of cost (average) or market.

The Company monitors inventory for turnover and obsolescence and records losses for excess and obsolete inventory, as appropriate. The Company provides reserves for estimated excess and obsolete inventories equal to the difference between the costs of inventories on hand and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand. If future demand is less favorable than currently projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Finished goods at December 31, 2016 and 2015 includes products (finished goods, parts and supplies) held at the Company’s headquarters and, at December 31, 2014, finished goods at different locations by health care providers or other third parties for rental or sale to patients (field inventory). During 2015 the Company ramped up the EZ Rx Prescribe program, whereby the NexWave electrotherapy device is sold by prescription and is shipped from the Company manufacturing facilities. During 2016 the EZ Rx Prescription program represented nearly 100% of orders. As a result, the Company is no longer holding substantial field inventory at different locations by healthcare or third party providers.

During 2014 and 2015, in conjunction with the introduction and ramp up of the EZ Rx Prescribe program, industry conditions driven by health care reforms and the ongoing evaluation of field inventory, the Company has provided significant allowances for field inventory ($916 in 2014 and $655 during the first nine months of 2015). During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company wrote off the remaining non-productive field inventory. The Company wrote-off and/or provided an allowance field inventory during 2015 and 2014 of $1,256 and $916, respectively.

| 33 |

Total gross inventories at December 31, 2016 included $17 of finished goods and work in process and $90 of parts and supplies as compared to December 31, 2015, which included $102 of finished goods and $231 of parts and supplies. This difference reflects the limited inventory due to continued financial constraints.

On December 31, 2016, the Company did not have open inventory purchase commitments due to prepayment requirements with vendors.

Stock -based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation through recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the requisite service period, which in the Company’s case is the same as the vesting period). For awards subject to the achievement of performance metrics, stock-based compensation expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance conditions will be achieved.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes taxes payable or refundable for the current period and the deferred tax consequences of transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or income tax returns. Temporary differences result primarily from basis differences in property and equipment, accounts receivable, inventory and deferred rent. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is determined based on an evaluation of whether the Company is more likely than not to realize the assets. A valuation allowance is established, when considered necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions through recognition of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had accrued unrecognized tax benefits, penalties and interest of $129 and $250, respectively. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions, and there are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities to audit our tax returns from 2010 through the current period.

Not applicable.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto, and the reports there on of EKS&H, LLLP and GHP Horwath, P.C., are filed as part of this report starting on page F-1.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

As previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 31, 2016, GHP Horwath, P.C. notified the Company that it had chosen to not stand for re-appointment. Subsequently, as reported on Form 8-K dated January 16, 2017, the Company appointed EKS&H, LLLP as its independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and through the date of this report, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and as discussed further below.

On the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company disclosed the following control deficiencies that represented a material weakness as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, which had not been remediated through December 31, 2016:

· | We lack independent Board members necessary to maintain audit and other board committees consistent with best practice corporate governance standards. At the present time we have no independent directors. As a result, oversight and monitoring responsibility pertaining to our financial reporting and related internal control is not sufficient. Considering the costs associated with procuring and providing the infrastructure to support additional qualified Board members that are independent, management has concluded that the risks associated with the lack of independent Board members are not sufficient to justify adding independent members at this time. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation as circumstances change.

· | We have a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties. In October 2015, the employment of our Chief Financial Officer, who also served as our Principal Financial Officer, was discontinued. We have engaged an outside consultant to provide Interim Chief Financial Officer services since this time; however, our President and Chief Executive Officer assumed the role of Principal Financial Officer, in addition to that of Principal Executive Officer. This one person is also involved in the processing our banking transactions, has overall supervision and review of all cash disbursements and cash receipts, and has responsibility for the overall accounting and approval process. Therefore, while there are some compensating controls in place, it is difficult to ensure effective segregation of accounting duties.

We do not have an independent board or audit committee. Applicable SEC legal requirements do not require us to have an audit committee or independent board members; as such requirements are applicable only to companies listed on stock exchanges, such as NASDAQ or NYSE MKT.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, who acts as our principal executive and principal financial officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2016, due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are described below.

| 34 |

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period s specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:

| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
| · | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our principal executive and financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our ICFR based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of the material weaknesses described below, our President and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our ICFR was not effective as of December 31, 2016, based on those criteria.

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 a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis.

As a result of our assessment, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2016:

| 35 |

| · | In connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, management identified a material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. As of December 31, 2016 Management determined that the design and operating effectiveness of the Company’s controls over the financial statement close process related to the timely account reconciliation, analysis and assessment of key accounting estimates and financial reporting and disclosure was not in place. This was directly impacted by a limitation on current accounting resources and staffing resulting in limited capabilities for us to conduct independent reviews over the preparation of the related work product. Management has identified remediation efforts which we plan to implement during 2017 to address this weakness. We lack independent Board members necessary to maintain audit and other board committees consistent with best practice corporate governance standards. At the present time we have no independent directors. As a result, oversight and monitoring responsibility pertaining to our financial reporting and related internal control is not sufficient. Considering the costs associated with procuring and providing the infrastructure to support additional qualified Board members that are independent, management has concluded that the risks associated with the lack of independent Board members are not sufficient to justify adding independent members at this time. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation as circumstances change.
| · | We have a material weakness due to lack of segregation of duties. In October 2015, we discontinued the employment of the person who then served as our Chief Financial Officer, and our Principal Financial Officer. Since then, we have hired a permanent Vice President of Finance; however, our President and Chief Executive Officer assumed the role of Principal Financial Officer, in addition to that of Principal Executive Officer. This one person is also involved in the processing our banking transactions, has overall supervision and review of all cash disbursements and cash receipts, and has responsibility for the overall accounting and approval process. Therefore, while there are some compensating controls in place, we cannot ensure effective segregation of accounting duties

Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, fairly present our financial position, results of our operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.

We are committed to improving our ICFR. As part of this control improvement, we plan to (1) hire a Chief Financial Officer, who will also serve as Principal Financial Officer, (2) appoint outside independent directors to our Board of Directors and utilize an independent audit committee of the Board of Directors who will undertake oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures (when funds and/or additional resources are available to the Company), (3) hire additional qualified accounting personnel, and (4) retain and utilize an outside independent consulting firm to assist us with assessing and testing the effectiveness of our ICFR (when funds and/or additional resources are available to the Company) . We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our ICFR on an ongoing basis, and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding ICFR due to the permanent exemption from such requirement for smaller reporting companies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no additional changes in our ICFR during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICFR.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Zynex, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ deficit for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Zynex, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is operating under forbearance arrangements with respect to its credit agreement and has been unable to secure adequate alternative financing. In addition, the Company has suffered recurring operating losses, has a net capital deficiency, and its need for additional capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters also are discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Zynex, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Zynex, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred significant losses in 2015 and has limited liquidity. In addition, the Company is in default of its secured line of credit and as a result, if its lender insists upon immediate repayment, the Company will be insolvent and may be forced to seek protection from its creditors. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

(1) ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

Organization

Zynex, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) has its headquarters in Lone Tree, Colorado. The Company operates in one primary business segment, Electrotherapy and Pain Management Products. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s active subsidiaries are Zynex Medical, Inc. (“ZMI,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation), Zynex Europe, ApS (“ZEU,” a wholly-owned Denmark corporation) and Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc. (“ZMS,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation). Its inactive subsidiaries include Zynex NeuroDiagnostics, Inc. (“ZND,” a wholly-owned Colorado corporation), Zynex Billing and Consulting, LLC (“ZBC,” an 80% owned Colorado limited liability company) and Pharmazy, Inc. (“Pharmazy”), which was incorporated in June 2015 as a wholly-owned Colorado corporation. The Company’s compound pharmacy operated as a division of ZMI dba as Pharmazy through January 2016.

During 2016 and 2015 revenues earned by ZMI totaled 99.7% and 99.6%, respectively. The ZMI dba Pharmazy operations represented 0.1% and 9.7% of revenues during 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The term “the Company” refers to Zynex, Inc. and its active and inactive subsidiaries.

Nature of Business

ZMI designs, manufactures and markets U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared medical devices that treat chronic and acute pain, as well as activate and exercise muscles for rehabilitative purposes with electrical stimulation. ZEU was formed in 2012 to conduct international sales and marketing for Company products. ZEU produced minimal revenues during 2016 and 2015. In addition, ZMI dba Pharmazy, which sold compound transdermal pain cream, began operations in early 2014 and was closed in January 2016.

ZMS was formed to develop and market medical devices for non-invasive cardiac monitoring, the products of which are under development. The Company is currently developing a blood volume monitoring device. ZMS produced no revenues during 2016 or 2015.

ZND was formed in 2011 to market electromyography (“EMG”), electroencephalography (“EEG”), sleep pattern, auditory and nerve conductivity neurological diagnosis devices to hospitals and clinics worldwide. In 2014, the Company decided to no longer focus on selling this product line (no significant revenue was generated during 2015 or 2014). ZBC was formed in 2012 to provide medical billing and consulting services. The Company stopped offering billing and consulting services in April 2015. No significant revenue was generated in 2016 and 2015.

In 2016 and 2015, the Company generated substantially all of its revenue in North America from sales and rentals of its products to patients, dealers and health care providers.

Management Plans

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company reported net income of $69 and net losses of $2,911, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 the Company had no available borrowing under its line of credit although, based on an interim agreement with the bank (which expired March 31, 2017), the lender continues to release cash collateral to the Company based on the Company’s cash collections. The Company’s working capital deficit at December 31, 2016 totaled $(4,323) as compared to ($4,773) at December 31, 2015, a decrease of $450. In addition, the Company is in default of its secured line of credit and as a result, if its lender insists upon immediate repayment, the Company will be insolvent and may be forced to seek protection from its creditors. These losses, limited liquidity and significant working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s operating plans for 2016 emphasized revenue growth and cash flow; focusing its attention on increasing the number of sales representatives, promoting its EZ Rx Prescription program (see description below), continued improvements to its billing organization and processes and reducing and controlling its administrative expenses.

ZYNEX, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT NUMBER OF SHARES AND PER SHARE DATA)

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

Total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $13,313 compared to $11,641 in 2015. This is a significant decline from revenues in 2013 and 2012 of approximately $21.7 million and $39.7 million, respectively. The primary reasons for the decline in revenue were (i) the impact of Medicare and healthcare reform, (ii) a loss of Zynex’s independent sales force to sell transdermal compounded pain cream from competing pharmacies rather than focusing on selling the Company’s Electrotherapy products and (iii) in the latter part of 2012, the elimination of Medicare reimbursement for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) Electrotherapy products for low-back pain while still covering TENS for other indications. Medicare also continued increasing the requirements for paperwork and documentation in connection with reimbursement requests. As a result, late in 2013 Zynex began declining orders for Medicare and Medicaid patients. Commercial and workers’ compensation insurance plans continue to reimburse at similar levels as in previous years and have not adopted Medicare’s limited coverage.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company narrowed its focus to the NexWave, InWave and NeuroMove electrotherapy products and continued to build the sales representative group for its TENS solutions. The Company continued to narrow its focus during 2015 by closing its billing consulting services in April 2015 and closing its compound pain cream operations in January 2016.

During 2015 and throughout 2014, in an effort to minimize the impact of these challenges, the Company restructured its internal operations, including manufacturing, billing and customer service; and made reductions in its fixed expenses by cutting its administrative costs by approximately $2,200 and $9,700, respectively, principally through reductions in headcount and facilities rent.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the electrotherapy industry experienced a significant development when the Company’s largest competitor (DJO/Empi) announced the closure of their Empi electrotherapy division. Empi previously held a large share of the electrotherapy market. Management believes this presents a significant growth opportunity for the Company. The Company has recruited over many former Empi sales representatives, including those in areas where we had no previous representation. In addition, during 2016, Company orders steadily increased as compared to 2015. To focus on growth and the potential for future positive cash flow, the Company has committed its limited resources to the new salesforce, including the supporting product production and supporting administrative (customer service and billing) personnel.

The Company is not in compliance with the financial covenants under the terms of its line of credit with TBK Bank, SSB (the “Lender”). In July 2014, the Lender notified the Company that it would no longer make additional loans under the credit agreement and that it was exercising its default remedies under the credit agreement, including, among others, accelerating the repayment of all outstanding obligations under the credit agreement and collecting the Company’s bank deposits to apply towards the outstanding obligations. The Lender agreed to forbear from the exercise of its rights and remedies under the terms of the credit agreement through June 30, 2017 and continues to release cash collateral to the Company based on the Company’s cash collections. The Company is obligated to decrease the Lender’s outstanding balance by at least $100 per month. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $2,200 of outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement. This reduction in the line of credit primarily results from increased accounts receivable collections principally from a single insurance carrier, and proceeds from a private placement completed through Newbridge Securities Corporation in February 2017. The Company and the Lender continue to negotiate the terms of an accelerated repayment of the amounts outstanding under the credit agreement and continued extension of the forbearance agreement. However, no assurance can be given that the Lender will continue to release cash collateral, or that the parties will agree on a repayment plan acceptable to the Company.

The Company is actively seeking additional financing through the issuance of debt or sale of equity. The additional capital is to refinance or replace the line of credit and to provide the additional working capital necessary to continue the Company’s business operations. The net losses and negative working capital may make it difficult to raise any new capital and any such capital raised (if any) may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. The Company is not certain whether any such financing would be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, any additional debt would require the approval of the Lender. A significant component of our negative working capital at December 31, 2015 is the amount due under our line of credit and past due accounts payable, all of which is considered a current liability.

The Company’s business plan for 2017 focuses on the Company’s effort to attain external financing, the Lender’s continued support, the vendors continued support and attaining positive cash flow from organic growth. The accomplishment of organic growth in revenues and cash flows is dependent on taking advantage of the Empi opportunity and the increased number of sales representatives, using its EZ Rx Prescription program and continued improvements to its billing organization and processes. The Company’s long-term business plan contemplates organic growth in revenues through an increase in the electrotherapy market share and the addition of new products such as the ZMS Blood Volume Monitor.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

The Company has and will continue to seek external financing and monitor and control its sales growth, product production needs and administrative costs going forward. If the Company continues to increase its revenue while controlling its administrative costs, the Company will return to profitability in future years as of appears in 2016. The Company believes that as a result of the growth opportunities coupled the reduced administrative expenses, the securing of additional capital, the continued support of our Lender, and the continued support of our vendors to work with Company on the slow payment of past due bills; that the Company’s cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund the Company’s cash requirements through the next twelve months. Management believes that its cash flow projections for 2017 are achievable and that sufficient cash will be generated to meet the Company’s currently restrained operating requirements. Such cash is projected to be generated by securing external financing, retaining the continued support of the Lender and vendors, and increasing cash flow from operations generated from organic growth. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to meet the requirements of its 2017 cash flow projections or that it will be able to address its working capital shortages; the principal component of which is the negative working capital (principally the line of credit and past due accounts payable which are considered a current liability in their entirety).

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional external financing, the Lender will continue to release cash collateral, the vendors will continue to work with slow repayment terms, and the sales and cash flow growth are attainable and sustainable. The Company’s dependence on operating cash flows means that risks involved in the Company’s business can significantly affect the Company’s liquidity. Contingencies such as unanticipated shortfalls in revenues or increases in expenses could affect the Company’s projected revenues, cash flows from operations and liquidity, which may force the Company to curtail its operating plan or impede the Company’ growth.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zynex, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest in the equity of a subsidiary is accounted for and reported as stockholders’ (deficit) equity. Non-controlling interest represents the 20% ownership in the Company’s majority-owned (but currently inactive) subsidiary, ZBC.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant management estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are associated with the allowance for billing adjustments and uncollectible accounts receivable, the reserve for obsolete and damaged inventory, the life of its rented equipment, stock-based compensation, and valuation of long-lived assets and realizability of deferred tax assets.

Revenue Recognition, Allowance for Billing Adjustments and Collectability

The Company recognizes revenue when each of the following four conditions are met: 1) a contract or sales arrangement exists, 2) products have been shipped and title has transferred, or rental services have been rendered, 3) the price of the products or services is fixed or determinable, and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue when medical units and supplies are shipped or, for medical units sold from consigned inventory, when it receives notice that the product has been prescribed and delivered to the patient. The Company, prior to recognizing revenue verifies the patient’s insurance coverage or obtained the insurance company preauthorization, when required. Revenue from supplies is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from the rental of products is normally on a month-to-month basis and is recognized ratably over the products’ rental period. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized when the Company ships its products. Revenue is reported net, after adjustments for estimated insurance company or governmental agency (collectively “Third-party Payors”) reimbursement deductions and, for wholesale customers and patient billings, an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Third-party Payor reimbursement deductions are known throughout the health care industry as “billing adjustments” whereby the Third-party Payors unilaterally reduce the amount they reimburse for the Company’s products.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are derived, and the related receivables are due, from Third-party Payors. The nature of these receivables within the medical industry has typically resulted in long collection cycles. The process of determining what products will be reimbursed by Third-party Payors and the amounts that they will reimburse is complex and depends on conditions and procedures that vary among providers and may change from time to time. The Company maintains an allowance for billing adjustments and an allowance for doubtful accounts. Billing adjustments result from reimbursements from Third-party Payors that are less than amounts claimed and from where the amount claimed by the Company exceeds the Third-party Payors usual, customary and reasonable reimbursement rate. The Company determines the amount of the allowance and adjusts it at the end of each reporting period, based on a number of factors, including historical rates of collection, the aging of the receivables, trends in the historical rates of collection and current relationships and experience with the Third-party Payors. If the rates of collection of past-due receivables recorded for previous fiscal periods changes, or if there is a trend in the rates of collection on those receivables, the Company may be required to change the rate at which it provides for additions to the allowance. A change in the rates of the Company’s collections can result from a number of factors, including experience and training of billing personnel, changes in the reimbursement policies or practices of Third-party Payors, or changes in industry rates of reimbursement. We believe we have a sufficient history of collection experience to estimate the net collectible amounts by payor. However, changes to the allowance for billing adjustments and uncollectible accounts, which are recorded in the income statement as a reduction of revenue, have historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year.

Due to the nature of the medical industry and the reimbursement environment in which the Company operates, estimates are required to record net revenues and accounts receivable at their net realizable values (also known as net collectible value). Inherent in these estimates is the risk that they will have to be revised or updated as additional information becomes available. Specifically, the complexity of third-party billing arrangements and the uncertainty of reimbursement amounts for certain products or services from payors or unanticipated requirements to refund payments previously received may result in adjustments to amounts originally recorded. Due to continuing changes in the health care industry and third-party reimbursement, as well as changes in our billing practices to increase cash collections, it is possible that management’s estimates could change in the near term, which could have an impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Any differences between estimated settlements and final determinations are reflected as an increase or a reduction to revenue in the period when such final determinations are known.

The Company frequently receives refund requests from insurance providers relating to specific patients and dates of service. Billing and reimbursement disputes are very common in the Company’s industry. These requests are sometimes related to a limited number of patients or products; at other times, they include a significant number of refund claims in a single request. The Company reviews and evaluates these requests and determines if any refund request is appropriate. The Company also reviews these refund claims when it is rebilling or pursuing reimbursement from that insurance provider. The Company frequently has significant offsets against such refund requests, and sometimes amounts are due to the Company in excess of the amounts of refunds requested by the insurance providers. Therefore, at the time of receipt of such refund requests, the Company is generally unable to determine if a refund request is valid and should be accrued. Such refunds are accrued when the amount is fixed and determinable.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

However, no assurances can be given with respect to such estimates of reimbursements and offsets or the ultimate outcome of any refund requests. In addition to the allowance for billing adjustments, the Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable for wholesale (sales to distributors) sales and certain patient billings. Uncollectible accounts receivable are primarily a result of non-payment from patients who have been direct billed for co-payments or deductibles, lack of appropriate insurance coverage and disallowances of charges by Third-party Payors. If there is a change to a material insurance provider contract or policy, application by a provider, a decline in the economic condition of providers or a significant turnover of Company billing personnel resulting in diminished collection effectiveness, the estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable may not be adequate and may result in an increase in the future.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable on commercial and wholesale accounts and patient billings total $2,481 and $1,996, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company believes its accounts receivable is reasonably stated at its net realizable / collectible value and has an adequate allowance for billing adjustments relating to all known insurance disputes and refund requests.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded a liability for deferred revenue in the amount of $54 and $89, respectively. Deferred revenue represents amounts paid by Third-party Payors for consumable supplies that were not yet shipped to patients as of that date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2016, include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and income taxes, for which current carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Financial instruments at December 31, 2016, also include the line of credit and capitalized leases, the carrying value of which approximates fair value because the interest rates on the outstanding borrowings are at rates that approximate market rates for borrowings with similar terms and average maturities.

Deferred Insurance Reimbursement

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company collected $880 from a single insurance company for accounts receivable. The accounts receivable had been previously reduced to zero by the allowance for billing adjustments. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, the insurance company verbally communicated to the Company that this payment was made in error and requested it be refunded to the insurance company. The Company recorded this $880 insurance reimbursement as a deferred insurance liability. However, the Company is disputing the refund request and has initiated an internal audit of the reimbursement to determine that the original sales arrangement was properly executed, the products had been shipped and title was transferred (or rental services were rendered), the price of the products or services and the reimbursement rate is fixed and determinable, and the Company’s ultimate claim to the reimbursement is reasonably assured. The Company will record the appropriate amount as net revenue when such internal audit is complete and the Company’s claim to the amount is reasonably assured. No further communication has been received from the insurance company regarding the payment or requested refund.

Inventory

Inventory, which primarily represents finished goods, are valued at the lower of cost (average) or market.

The Company monitors inventory for turnover and obsolescence and records losses for excess and obsolete inventory, as appropriate. The Company provides reserves for estimated excess and obsolete inventories equal to the difference between the costs of inventories on hand and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand. If future demand is less favorable than currently projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Finished goods at December 31, 2016 and 2015 includes products (finished goods, parts and supplies) held at the Company’s headquarters and, at December 31, 2014, finished goods at different locations by health care providers or other third parties for rental or sale to patients (field inventory). During 2015 the Company ramped up the EZ Rx Prescribe program, whereby the NexWave electrotherapy device is sold by prescription and is shipped from the Company manufacturing facilities. In 2016, 99.9% of Company sales use the EZ Rx Prescription program. As a result, the Company is no longer holding substantial field inventory at different locations by healthcare or third party providers.

During 2014 and 2015, in conjunction with the introduction and ramp up of the EZ Rx Prescribe program, industry conditions driven by health care reforms and the ongoing evaluation of field inventory, the Company provided significant allowances for field inventory. During the fourth quarter of 2015 the Company wrote off the remaining non-productive field inventory, resulting in writing-off and/or providing an allowance field inventory of $1,256 during 2015. This amount is included within cost of revenue – rental, product and supply within the consolidated statement of operations.

Total gross inventories at December 31, 2016 included $17 of finished goods and work in process and $90 of parts and supplies as compared to December 31, 2015, which included $102 of finished goods and $231 of parts and supplies.

On December 31, 2016, the Company did not have open inventory purchase commitments due to prepayment requirements with vendors.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Products being rented are placed in property and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful life. The Company removes the cost and the related accumulated depreciation from the accounts of assets sold or retired, and the resulting net gains or losses are included in the results of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. As rental inventory contributes directly to the revenue generating process, the Company classifies the depreciation of rental inventory in cost of revenue.

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation through recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, which is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the requisite service period, which in the Company’s case is the same as the vesting period). For awards subject to the achievement of performance metrics, stock-based compensation expense is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance conditions will be achieved.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $116 and $78, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $256 and $256, respectively. Research and development costs as well as salaries related to research and development are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes taxes payable or refundable for the current period and the deferred tax consequences of transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or income tax returns. Temporary differences result primarily from basis differences in property and equipment, accounts receivable, inventory and accrued expenses. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is determined based on an evaluation of whether the Company is more likely than not to realize the assets. A valuation allowance is established, when considered necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions through recognition of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had accrued unrecognized tax benefits, penalties and interest of $129 and $250, respectively. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions, and there are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities to audit our tax returns from 2012 through the current period.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transaction gains for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were insignificant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) ("ASU 2016-13"), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today's "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU2016-09"), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2016-09 address multiple aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liability, and classification on the statements of cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period, and any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). These amendments require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under ASC 840 “Leases”. These amendments also require qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740) ("ASU No. 2015-17"). ASU No. 2015-17 requires deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. It may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is evaluating the effect of this updated guidance on the disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The amendments in this Update provide guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is adopting this updated guidance on the disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—“Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) which amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, using one of two prescribed retrospective methods. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(4) INTANGIBLE ASSETS

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, intangible assets consist of the following

|  | Amortization |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | Life Years |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Software and development costs |  | 5 |  | $ | 325 |  |  | $ | 325 |
Less: accumulated amortization |  |  |  |  | (291 | ) |  |  | (251 | )
Total intangible assets, net |  |  |  | $ | 34 |  |  | $ | 74 |

The software and development costs are amortized over 5 years. Amortization expense totaled $40 and $57 for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(5) LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the number of dilutive potential common share equivalents during the period, calculated using the treasury-stock method. The effects of potential common stock equivalents, related to outstanding options for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, totaling 2,190,250 and 1,685,250 , respectively, have not been included in the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share because the impact of the potential shares would decrease the earnings ( loss ) per share.

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
BASIC |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders |  | $ | 69 |  |  | $ | (2,911 | )

(6) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company previously reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”). The Option Plan expired as of December 31, 2014. Vesting provisions are determined by the Board of Directors. All stock options under the Option Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Since the Option Plan expired, the options granted in 2015 and 2016 have not been approved by the Company’s shareholders and were issued as non-qualified stock options.

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $200 and $130, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses.

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted options to purchase up to 879,000 and 629,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to employees at a weighted average exercise that ranged from $0.14 to $0.39 per share in 2016 and $0.17 to $0.45 per share in 2015. The 2016 grants were issued as non-qualified stock options.

The Company used the Black Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option grants, using the following assumptions during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Weighted average expected term |  |  | 6.25 years |  |  |  | 4.71 years |
Weighted average volatility |  |  | 122 | % |  |  | 132 | %
Weighted average risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.48 | % |  |  | 1.25 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0 | % |  |  | 0 | %

The weighted average expected term of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical exercise trends. The weighted average expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected term of the related stock options. The dividend yield represents the Company’s anticipated cash dividend over the expected term of the stock options.

Forfeitures of share-based payment awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company has generated a net operating loss carryforward (NOL) for federal income tax purposes of approximately $10,362 as of December 31, 2016, which is available to offset taxable income in the future at various dates through 2035. The Company also has available NOL carryforwards of approximately $19,332 for state purposes, which begin to expire at various dates ranging from five to seven years.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $5.7 million and $ 5.1 million, respectively. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers past history, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available taxes in carryback periods, projected future taxable income projections and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods.

The accounting standard related to income taxes applies to all tax positions and defines the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. This accounting standard requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are to be recognized. This accounting standard requires additional disclosures. The recognition of uncertain tax benefits are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate or results of operations. These uncertain tax benefits relate primarily to taxes potentially due in state where the Company has nexus, but has not yet filed tax returns. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Uncertain tax benefits at the beginning of the period |  | $ | 250 |  |  | $ | 250 |
Gross decreases for State income tax liabilities |  |  | (121 | ) |  |  | 0 |
Uncertain tax benefits at the end of the period |  | $ | 129 |  |  | $ | 250 |

(8) LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has an asset-backed revolving credit facility under a Loan and Security Agreement as amended, (the “Triumph Agreement”) with Triumph Healthcare Finance, a division of TBK Bank, SSB (formerly known as Triumph Community Bank (the “Lender”). The Triumph Agreement contains certain customary restrictive and financial covenants for asset-backed credit facilities. The Company has not been in compliance with the financial covenants under the Triumph Agreement since July 2014.

On July 14, 2014, the Company received notice from the Lender of an event of default under the Triumph Agreement. The notice relates to the Company’s default under the minimum debt service coverage ratio requirement for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and certain other alleged defaults. The Lender notified the Company that it was exercising its default remedies under the Triumph Agreement, including, among others, accelerating the repayment of all outstanding obligations under the Triumph Agreement (outstanding principal and accrued interest) and collecting the Company’s bank deposits to apply towards the outstanding obligations. The Company and the Lender are negotiating the terms of an accelerated repayment of the amounts outstanding under the Triumph Agreement and the Lender has continued to release cash collateral to the Company based on cash collections. However, no assurance can be given that the Lender will continue to release cash collateral or that the parties will agree on a repayment plan acceptable to the Company. If the Lender insists upon immediate repayment, the Company will be insolvent and may be forced to seek protection from creditors.

As of December 31, 2016 $2,771 was outstanding under the Triumph Agreement and zero was available for borrowing based on the default status. Borrowings under the Triumph Agreement bear interest at the default interest rate. As of December 31, 2016, the effective interest rate under the Triumph Agreement was approximately 11.0% (6.75% interest rate plus 3% additional default interest rate and 1.25% fees). The Triumph Agreement requires monthly interest payments in arrears on the first date of each month. The Triumph Agreement matured on December 19, 2014. Triumph has agreed to forbear from the exercise of its rights and remedies under the terms of the Triumph Agreement through June 30, 2017, pursuant to the terms of a the December 16, 2016 forbearance agreement. The Triumph Agreement requires a lockbox arrangement whereby all receipts are swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding. The Company is obligated to reduce the loan balance by at least $100 each month. In connection with the agreement entered into on March 28, 2016, the Lender suspended this monthly payment requirement for February, March and April of 2016 up to an aggregate cap of $250, in exchange for the issuance of a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company used the Black Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock warrant, using the following assumptions:

Contractual term |  |  | 5.0 years |
Volatility |  |  | 122.64 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.48 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 1.44 | %

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded bank fee expense related to this stock warrant of $15.

(9) CAPITAL LEASES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

The Company had previously entered into a Lease Termination Agreement (“LTA”) and new Lease Agreement (“LA”) with its landlord relating to the Company’s headquarters location in Lone Tree, Colorado, under which the Company reduced the amount of space leased at its headquarters. Subsequently, on August 12, 2016, the Company entered into an amended Lease Agreement to extend and amend the terms and conditions of the LA.

The following is a summary of the key terms of the LA, as amended:

| · | The original term of the LA term was extended by two years and as amended is to end, unless sooner terminated, on December 31, 2018;

| · | Fixed rental payments were decreased from $49 to $38 per month; and

| · | The Company and landlord shall each have the right to terminate the lease at any time, without liability to the other, with ninety days (originally six months) prior written notice to the Company and ninety days written notice to the Landlord.

As of December 31, 2016, future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable notes payable, operating and capital leases are as follows:

|  | Capital Leases |  |  | Operating Leases |
2017 |  | $ | 118 |  |  | $ | 457 |

Rent expense under all operating leases for 2016 and 2015 was approximately $457 and $598, respectively.

(10) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities pursuant to accounting guidance which establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy and prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

| · | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
| · | Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
| · | Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include contingent consideration which as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled none. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a discounted cash flow model at the acquisition date and is revalued at each reporting date. Contingent payments of $0 and $4 were made during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Changes in the fair value of these obligations are recorded as income or expense within the line item “Other income (expense)” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Accretion expense related to the increase in the net present value of the contingent liabilities is also included in the line item “Other income (expense)” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which are referred to as Level 3 inputs. Changes in the fair value of the Level 3 liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2016, were none.

(11) STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

For stock warrants or options granted to non-employees, the Company measures fair value of the equity instruments utilizing the Black-Scholes method if that valuation method results in a more reliable measurement than the fair value of the consideration or the services received. For stock granted, the Company measures fair value of the shares issued utilizing the market price of the shares on the date the transaction takes place. The Company amortizes such costs over the related period of service.

(12) CONCENTRATIONS

The Company sourced approximately 42% of components for its electrotherapy products from one vendor during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Management believes that its relationships with suppliers are good; however, the Company has delayed and extended payments to many of its vendors for cash flow reasons, which has caused many of its vendors to require pre-payment for products or services. If the relationships were to be replaced, there may be a short-term disruption to operations, a period of time in which products may not be available and additional expenses may be incurred.

The Company had gross receivables from a private health insurance carrier at December 31, 2016 and 2015 that made up approximately 10% and 5%, respectively, of the net accounts receivable balance.

(13) RETIREMENT PLAN

The Company has adopted a retirement plan with a 401(k) deferred compensation provision effective July 1, 2012. Substantially all full-time employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan as long as they are at least 18 years of age and have completed at least three months of employment. The 401(k) plan provides for contributions by the Company at management’s discretion. The Company made no contributions to this plan in 2016 or 2015.

(14) LITIGATION

From time to time, the Company may become party to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of business. To the extent that such claims and litigation arise, management would provide for them if losses are determined to be both probable and estimable.

The Company is currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

(15) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company employs Mr. Martin Sandgaard and Mr. Joachim Sandgaard, both sons of Thomas Sandgaard. Compensation for 2016 and 2015 totaled $154 and $75, respectively. To meet Mr. Sandgaard’s obligation to his former wife under a settlement agreement, the Company, during the fourth quarter of 2015, entered into 3 year employment arrangement totaling $100,000 per year with Mr. Joachim Sandgaard.

The related party payable primarily consisted of advances made to the Company and inventory purchases made on behalf of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2016, Thomas Sandgaard and an employee advanced the Company and purchased inventory totaling $192 and $148, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reimbursed Thomas Sandgaard and an employee on advances and purchases totaling $171 and $59, respectively

Accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 include a net payable to Thomas Sandgaard of $75 and $23 respectively, and $112 payable to an employee as of December 31, 2016.

(16) SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has one reporting segment, the Electrotherapy and Pain Management segment, which includes the ZMI electrotherapy units and compound pain creams operations that accounted for 99% and 99% of total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The determination was made based on the fact that the products are marketed through the same sales representatives and to the same medical providers whether the provider writes a prescription for an electrotherapy device or compound pain cream. The revenue generated from the sale of other products and services is not significant.
