Note 3. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Going Concern

The Company is subject to risks common to emerging medical device companies, including uncertainties related to commercialization of products and failing to secure additional funding. 

The Company has experienced significant net losses, and it expects to continue to incur losses for the near future as it works to increase market acceptance of its gammaCore therapy for the acute treatment of episodic cluster headache (“eCH”), the prevention of cluster headache, and the preventive and acute treatment of migraine. The Company has never been profitable and has incurred net losses in each year since its inception.

The Company incurred net losses of $5.4 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

The Company’s expected cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond are largely based on the commercial success of its products. There are significant risks and uncertainties as to its ability to achieve these operating results, including as a result of the adverse impact on its headache business from the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to these risks and uncertainties, the Company may need to reduce its activities significantly more than in its current operating plan and cash flow projections assume in order to fund its operations beyond one year of the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund its planned activities, which could force it to significantly reduce or curtail its activities and ultimately, potentially cease operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

There is no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient funding through its operating results or financing activity, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

Concentration of Revenue Risks 

The Company earns a significant amount of its revenue (i) in the United States from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense pursuant to its qualifying contract under the Federal Supply Schedule and open market sales to individual Department of Veterans Affairs facilities and (ii) in the United Kingdom from the National Health Service. In total, net sales from these two channels represented 81.3% and 93.9% of the Company’s net sales for three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 respectively.

Each of these two channels accounted for 10% or more of the Company's net sales as summarized below:

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, five specific VA/DoD facilities represented approximately 55.2% of the Company’s revenue from this channel, and two of those facilities each accounted for more than 10% individually. 

Foreign Currency Exchange

The Company has foreign currency exchange risk related to revenue and operating expenses in currencies other than the local currencies in which it operates. The Company is exposed to currency risk from the potential changes in functional currency values of its assets, liabilities, and cash flows denominated in foreign currencies.

COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties

The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business and geographies, including how it will impact business partners. While the Company experienced disruptions during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unable to predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. COVID-19 has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. Depending upon the duration and severity of the pandemic, the continuing effect on the Company's results and outlook over the long term remains uncertain.
