authID INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly known as Ipsidy Inc.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which we considered as necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or the full year.
Effective July 18, 2022, the Company changed its name to authID Inc.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of authID Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MultiPay S.A.S., IDGS S.A.S., ID Solutions, Inc., FIN Holdings Inc., Ipsidy Enterprises Limited, Cards Plus Pty Ltd. and authID Gaming Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On May 4, 2022, the Board of Directors of authID Inc. approved a plan to exit from certain non-core activities comprising the MultiPay correspondent bank, payments services in Colombia and the Cards Plus cards manufacturing and printing business in South Africa (“Cards Plus business”). On August 29, 2022 the Company executed and completed the sale of the Cards Plus business. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Cards Plus Pty Ltd., MultiPay S.A.S., and IDGS S.A.S assets are presented as assets held for sale on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and their operations presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as they met the criteria for discontinued operations under applicable accounting guidance. See Discontinued Operations Note 9 for details.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year.
In March 2022, the Company secured additional financing which management believes will provide adequate funding for its operations as it continues to invest in its product, people, and technology. The Company may need additional capital in the future but currently believes it has sufficient funds to operate its business through December 31, 2023. See Notes 5, 6 and 8.
Reclassification
Certain prior year expenses have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, we reclassified certain expenses from general and administrative expenses to research and development expenses.
6
Net Loss per Common Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes and stock warrants, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of convertible notes. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 because their effect was antidilutive:
| Security | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||
| Convertible notes payable | ||||||||
| Warrants | ||||||||
| Stock options | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition
Starting in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company separately reports Verified software license revenue from Legacy authentication services revenue. Prior periods revenues are recast accordingly for comparison purposes.
The Company recognizes revenue based on the identified
performance obligations over the performance period for fixed consideration and/or for variable fees generated that are earned on a usage
fee earned over time based on monthly transaction or user volumes and/or on a monthly flat fee rate. The Company had a contract liability
of approximately $
The Company’s Legacy authentication services comprised annual software maintenance support services relating to previously licensed software on a stand ready basis. These fees were billed in advance and recognized ratably over the requisite service period as revenue. The contract terminated on April 1, 2022.
Furthermore, the Company will capitalize the incremental costs of acquiring and fulfilling a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. These incremental costs were immaterial in both three-month and nine-month periods and the Company recognizes these costs as incurred as they typically relate to a period of less than one year as allowed by the practical expedient and the amounts in the period were immaterial.
Contract cost assets will be amortized using the straight-line method over the expected period of benefit beginning at the time revenue begins to be realized. The amortization of contract fulfillment cost assets associated with facilitating transactions will be recorded as cost of services in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization of contract acquisition cost assets associated with sales commissions that qualify for capitalization will be recorded as general and administrative expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any deferred contract costs or fees payable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
authID Inc. is a leading provider of secure, authentication solutions delivered by our easy to integrate Verified platform. Our Verified platform that delivers Human Factor AuthenticationTM, binds strong passwordless authentication with biometric identity, which offers our customers a streamlined path to zero trust architecture. Verified FIDO2 passwordless authentication is certified by the FIDO Alliance to be compliant and interoperable with FIDO specifications.
The explosive growth in online and mobile commerce, telemedicine, remote working and digital activities of all descriptions is self-evident to everyone who lived through the Covid 19 pandemic since 2020. Identity theft, phishing attacks, spear-phishing, password vulnerabilities, account takeovers, benefits fraud - it seems like these words have entered our daily lexicon overnight. These are significant impediments to the operations and growth of any business or organization, and dealing with the risks and consequences of these criminal activities has created significant friction in both time, cost and lost opportunity. Consider all the outdated methods that organizations have implemented in order to prevent fraud. The requests to receive and enter one-time passwords, that can be easily hijacked. The vulnerable security questions you get asked – whether on-line or when reaching out to a call center – what was your first pet’s name? who was your best friend in high school? These steps all add up to friction, making it difficult for consumers to login, transact and execute daily tasks, with little added protection from fraud. Surely there is a better way to address these challenges? authID.ai believes there is.
authID provides secure, facial biometric, identity verification, and strong customer authentication. We maintain a global, cloud-based Verified platform for our enterprise customers to enable their users, or employees to easily verify and authenticate their identity through a mobile device or desktop (with camera) of their choosing (without requiring dedicated hardware, or authentication apps). We can help our customers establish a proven identity, creating a root of trust that ensures the highest level of assurance for our passwordless login and step-up verification products. Our system enables participants to consent to transactions using their biometric information with a digitally signed authentication response, embedding the underlying transaction data and each user’s identity attributes within every electronic transaction message processed through our platform.
Digital transformation across all market segments requires trusted identity. Our identity platform offers innovative solutions that are flexible, fast and easy to integrate and offer seamless user experiences. authID’s products help advance digital transformation efforts without the fear of identity fraud, while delivering frictionless user experiences. We believe that it is also essential that electronic transactions have an audit trail, proving that the identity of the individual was duly authenticated. Our platform provides biometric and multi-factor identity software, which are intended to establish, authenticate and verify identity across a wide range of use cases and electronic transactions.
authID’s products focus on the broad requirement for enabling frictionless commerce by allowing an entity to instantly “Recognise their Customer”, their Employee or their Member. Organizations of all descriptions require cost-effective and secure means of growing their business while mitigating identity fraud. We aim to offer our enterprise customers products that can be integrated easily into each of their business and organizational operations, in order to facilitate their adoption and enhance the end user customer experience.
Our management believes that some of the advantages of our Verified Platform approach are the ability to leverage the platform to support a variety of vertical markets and the adaptability of the platform to the requirements of new markets and new products requiring cost-effective, secure, and configurable mobile solutions. Our target markets include cybersecurity, workforce, banking, fintech and other disrupters of traditional commerce, small and medium sized businesses, and system integrators working with government and Fortune 1000 enterprises. At its core, the Company’s offering, combining its proprietary and acquired biometric and artificial intelligence technologies (or AI), is intended to facilitate frictionless commerce, whether in the physical or digital world. The Company intends to increase its investment in developing, patenting and acquiring the various elements necessary to enhance the platform, which are intended to allow us to achieve our goals. One of the principal intended areas of investment is to enhance and expand our use of artificial intelligence in proprietary software, that we believe will increase our value to enterprise customers and stockholders alike.

authID is dedicated to developing advanced methods of protecting consumer privacy and deploying ethical and socially responsible AI. authID is developing a culture that proactively encourages and rewards our employees for considering the ethical implications of our products. We believe that a proactive commitment to ethical AI presents a strong business opportunity for authID and will enable us to bring more accurate products to market more quickly and with less risk to better serve our global user base. Our methods to achieve ethical AI include engaging the users of our products with informed consent, prioritizing the security of our user’s personal information, considering and avoiding potential bias in our algorithms, and monitoring of algorithm performance in our applications.
The Company also owned an entity in South Africa, Cards Plus and owns an entity in Colombia, MultiPay. On May 4, 2022, the Board approved a plan to exit from certain non-core activities comprising the MultiPay correspondent bank, payments services in Colombia and the Card Plus cards manufacturing and printing business in South Africa. On August 29, 2022 the Company completed the sale of Cards Plus business. See Discontinued Operations.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 21, 2011, and changed our name to authID Inc. on July 18, 2022. In order to better align the branding of our Company with our future focus and goals on June 14, 2021 we changed our business name to “authID.ai”.

Colorado Blvd., Building A Suite 322, Denver, CO 80222 and our main phone number remains as is (516) 274-8700. We maintain a website at www.authID.ai.

Adjusted EBITDA
This discussion includes information about Adjusted EBITDA that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure is included below.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (1) interest expense, (2) interest income, (3) provision for income taxes, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) stock-based compensation expense (stock options and restricted stock) and (6) certain other items management believes affect the comparability of operating results.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period results. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management, and it will be a focus as we invest in and grow the business.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
21
| ● | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not include the impact of certain charges or gains resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. |
Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplement to our GAAP results.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 – Continuing Operations
Revenues, net
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company revenues from Verified software license were approximately $30,000 and $117,000, respectively, compared to approximately $12,000 and $45,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Verified software license revenue increased as we acquired new customers.
Legacy authentication services revenues were zero and $145,000, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $157,000 and $419,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Revenue from Legacy authentication services dropped significantly due to the loss of a large customer that decommissioned a legacy product offering as of April 1, 2022.
General and administrative expenses
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.1 million mostly due to the higher non-cash stock-based charges, higher compensation, marketing, and professional fee costs as the Company makes investment in people and marketing its product offering.
22
Research and development expenses
During the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, as the Company increased staffing and third party resources as it continues to enhance its Verified product.
Depreciation and amortization expense
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021, depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively, less as the Company reduced the value of certain legacy business asset values.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021 by $408,000 and $350,000, respectively, as the Company issued $9.2 million Convertible Notes in March 2022.
Discontinued operations
The Board of Directors of authID considers it in the best interests of the Company to focus its business activities on providing biometric identity verification products and services by means of our proprietary Verified platform. Accordingly, on May 4, 2022, the Board approved a plan to exit from certain non-core activities comprising the MultiPay correspondent bank, payment services in Colombia and the Cards Plus cards manufacturing and printing business in South Africa.
Cards Plus business in South Africa
On August 29, 2022, the Company completed the sale of Cards Plus business for a price of $300,000, less $3,272 in costs to sell (net), and recognized a loss of $188,247 from the transaction. Of the $300,000 gross proceeds, $150,000 was paid on closing and the remaining $150,000 is expected to be paid in a year which is currently recorded in other current assets as of September 30, 2022.
MultiPay business in Colombia
The Company is exiting the MultiPay business in Colombia in an orderly fashion, honoring our obligations to employees, customers and under applicable laws and regulations. We plan to maintain our customer support and operations team in Bogota, which performs essential functions to support the global operations of our Verified product.
As of September 30, 2022 all impacted employees left the Company and the Company also paid each employee their compensation entitlements and severance packages under the MultiPay retention plan and obligations under the appropriate statutes.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company is working with a major customer to implement a transition plan to provide an essential service for certain bill pay services which will probably result in the leasing and sale of certain MultiPay’s proprietary software as well as the assumption by the Customer of certain expenses.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Cards Plus revenue was approximately $380,000 and $1,264,000, respectively. MultiPay revenue in those periods was approximately $66,000 and $205,0000, respectively. Cards Plus had income of approximately $29,000 during the two months ended August 29, 2022 (the closing date of the sale of Cards Plus business) and losses of approximately $166,000 during the eight months ended August 29, 2022, respectively. MultiPay had losses of approximately $174,0000 and $385,0000, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
23
The financial statements of Cards Plus and MultiPay have been classified as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2022, as all required classification criteria under appropriate accounting guidance were met.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has approximately $7.1 million of cash on hand and approximately $5.4 million of working capital as of September 30, 2022, as the fund raise in March 2022 provided cash of approximately $11.4 million.
The Company also has available a $10.0 million unsecured working capital facility which has no borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2022.
Cash used in operating activities was approximately $9.9 million and $5.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was as follows:
| ● | The Company entered into an SPA with the Note Investors, and, pursuant to the SPA, sold to the Note Investors the Convertible Notes with an aggregate initial principal amount of approximately $9.2 million and a conversion price of $3.70 per share. The Convertible Notes were sold with an aggregate cash origination fee of approximately $200,000, and we issued a total of approximately 28,500 shares of our common stock to the Note Investors as an additional origination fee. |
| ● | The Company entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, and, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, sold to the PIPE Investors a total of 1,063,514 shares of our common stock at prices of $3.03 per share for an outside investor and $3.70 per share for the management investors. The aggregate gross proceeds from the PIPE are approximately $3.3 million. |
Additionally, the Company entered into a Credit Facility with an accredited investor, who is both a current shareholder of the Company and a Note Investor, pursuant to which the accredited investor agreed to provide a $10.0 million unsecured standby line of credit facility that will rank behind the Convertible Notes and may be drawn down in several tranches, subject to certain conditions described in the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company paid the lender a facility commitment fee of 100,000 shares of our common stock upon the effective date of the Credit Facility Agreement.
The Company may need additional capital in the future but because of the above financing activities, we believe we have sufficient funds to operate our business through December 31, 2023.
Covid 19
Covid-19 emerged globally in December 2019, and it has been declared a pandemic. Covid-19 is still impacting customers, business, results and financial condition throughout the world. The Company’s day-to-day operations have been impacted differently depending on geographic location and services that are being performed.
Recently we have seen our business opportunities develop more slowly as business partners and potential customers include Covid-19 considerations and working remotely can cause a delay in decision making and finalization of negotiations and agreements.
Ukraine
The ongoing war in Ukraine may impact the Company and its operations in a number of different ways, which are yet to be fully assessed and are therefore causing uncertainty. The Company works with third party sub-contractors for outsourced services, including software engineering and development, some of whom are based in Eastern Europe, including Russia and Ukraine. The Company also works with outsourced engineers and developers and third-party providers in other parts of the world, including the United States, India, and South America. While the continuing impact of this conflict and the response of the United States and other countries to it by means of trade and economic sanctions, or other actions is still unknown, any disruption of our ability to work with such contractors caused by this conflict could require the Company to seek alternative sub-contractors at short notice, which may give rise to additional costs and delays in delivering software and product upgrades.

The uncertainty impacting and potential interruption in energy and other supply chains resulting from military hostilities in Europe and the response of the United States and other countries to it by means of trade and economic sanctions, or other actions, may give rise to increases in costs of goods and services generally and may impact the market for our products as prospective customers reconsider additional capital expenditure, or other investment plans until the situation becomes clearer. On the other hand, the threat of increased cyber-attacks from Russia or other countries may prompt enterprises to adopt additional security measures such as those offered by the Company.
For so long as the hostilities continue and perhaps even thereafter as the situation in Europe unfolds, we may see increased volatility in financial markets which may make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital at the time when it needs to do so, or for financing to be available on acceptable terms. All or any of these risks separately, or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed by our management to be material to investors.
Recent Accounting Policies
The recent material accounting policies that may be the most critical to understanding of the financial results and conditions are discussed in Note 1 of the unaudited financial statements.
In August 2021 the FASB issued a new standard (ASU 2021-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. For certain convertible debt instruments with a cash conversion feature, the changes are a trade-off between simplifications in the accounting model (no separation of an “equity” component to impute a market interest rate, and simpler analysis of embedded equity features) and a potentially adverse impact to diluted EPS by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The new standard will also impact other financial instruments commonly issued by both public and private companies. For example, the separation model for beneficial conversion features is eliminated simplifying the analysis for issuers of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Also, certain specific requirements to achieve equity classification and/ or qualify for the derivative scope exception for contracts indexed to an entity’s own equity are removed, enabling more freestanding instruments and embedded features to avoid mark-to-market accounting. The new standard is effective for companies that are SEC filers (except for Smaller Reporting Companies) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within that year, and two years later for other companies. Companies can early adopt the standard at the start of a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. The standard can either be adopted on a modified retrospective or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently reviewing the newly issued standard and does not believe it will materially impact the Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30,2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the report that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There has been no material change in our risk factors from those previously discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We operate in a business environment that is sensitive to political, economic and regulatory uncertainty, including with respect to cybersecurity and infrastructure investment, all of which may also be compounded by any future global impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing war in Ukraine and inflationary pressures, rising energy prices and increases in interest rates (see “Covid 19” and “Ukraine” above).
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with certain accredited investors, including certain directors of the Company or their affiliates (the “Note Investors”), and, pursuant to the SPA, sold to the Note Investors Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) with an aggregate initial principal amount of approximately $9.2 million and a conversion price of $3.70 per share. The Convertible Notes were sold with an aggregate cash origination fee of approximately $200,000, and we issued a total of approximately 28,500 shares of our common stock to the Note Investors as an additional origination fee. The Convertible Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum, which will be payable in cash or, for some or all of the first five interest payments, in shares of our common stock at the Company’s option, on the last day of each calendar quarter before the maturity date and on the maturity date. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes is March 31, 2025.
On March 18 and March 21, 2022, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with an accredited investor and certain members of authID’s management team (the “PIPE Investors”), and, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, sold to the PIPE Investors a total of 1,063,514 shares of our common stock at prices of $3.03 per share for an outside investor and $3.70 per share for the management investors (the “PIPE”). The aggregate gross proceeds from the PIPE are approximately $3.3 million.
Additionally, the Company entered into a Credit Facility with an accredited investor, who is both a current shareholder of the Company and a Note Investor, pursuant to which the accredited investor agreed to provide a $10.0 million unsecured standby line of credit facility that will rank behind the Convertible Notes and may be drawn down in several tranches, subject to certain conditions described in the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company agreed to pay the Lender a facility commitment fee of 100,000 shares of our common stock upon the effective date of the Facility Agreement.
The gross proceeds of the sale of the Convertible Notes and the PIPE were used to pay the expenses of those offerings and to provide working capital for the Company.
The shares issued and issuable in connection with the Convertible Notes, the PIPE and the Credit Facility were subsequently registered under a resale registration statement on Form S-3.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued approximately 223,156 shares of common stock pursuant to exercises of common stock warrants and options.
The securities described herein were offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended afforded by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for the sale of securities not involving a public offering.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Credit Facility with Stephen J. Garchik, who is both a current shareholder of the Company and holds Senior Secured Convertible Notes (“Garchik”), pursuant to which Garchik agreed to provide to the Company a $10.0 million unsecured standby line of credit facility that will rank behind the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and may be drawn down in several tranches, subject to certain conditions described in the Facility Agreement. Upon request by Garchik and until the full amount due under the Credit Facility is repaid in full, the Company will provide for the nomination of one designee specified in writing by Garchik for appointment to our board of directors and for subsequent election to our board of directors and to recommend such nominee for election to our board of directors.

For subsequent fiscal years the bonus shall be subject to performance targets to be mutually agreed with the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition, Ms. Pham received a signing bonus in the amount of $25,000, which is fully refundable to the Company if Ms. Pham leaves her employment voluntarily or is terminated for cause prior to the first anniversary of the commencement of employment.
