Overview


We are a commercial stage biotechnology company focused on immunology, urology, neurology and orthopedics using adult stem cell treatments and interrelated regenerative technologies for the treatment of multiple indications. Our existing and pipeline of therapies and products include of the following:





                      [[Image Removed: celz_10qimg1.jpg]]

Our subsidiary, Creative Medical Technologies, Inc. ("CMT"), was originally created to monetize U.S. Patent No. 8,372,797 and related intellectual property related to the treatment of erectile dysfunction ("ED"), which it acquired in February 2016. Subsequently, we have expanded our development and acquisition of intellectual property beyond urology to include therapeutic treatments utilizing "re-programmed" stem cells, and the treatment of neurologic disorders, lower back pain, type I diabetes, and heart, liver, kidney and other diseases using various types of stem cells through our ImmCelz, Inc., StemSpine, Inc. and AmnioStem LLC subsidiaries. However, neither ImmCelz Inc., StemSpine Inc. nor AmnioStem LLC have commenced commercial activities.

We currently conduct substantially all of our commercial operations through CMT, which markets and sells our CaverStem® and FemCelz® disposable kits utilized by physicians to perform autologous procedures that treat erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction, respectively. Our CaverStem® and FemCelz® kits are currently available through physicians at eight locations in the United States.

In addition to our CaverStem® and FemCelz® products, we are currently in the process of recruiting clinical sites for our StemSpine® Regenerative Stem Cell Procedure for the Treatment of Degenerative Disc Disease. Our StemSpine® treatment is an autologous procedure that utilizes a patient's own stem cells to treat lower back pain.

In 2020, through our ImmCelz Inc. subsidiary, we began exploring the development of treatments that utilize a patient's own extracted immune cells that are then "reprogrammed" by culturing them outside the patient's body with optimized stem cells. The immune cells are then re-injected into the patient from whom they were extracted. We believe this process endows the immune cells with regenerative properties that may be suitable for the treatment of stroke victims, among other indications. In contrast to other stem cell-based approaches, the immune cells are significantly smaller in size than stem cells and are believed to more effectively penetrate areas of the damaged tissues and induce regeneration.

We are currently primarily focused on expanding the commercial sale and use of our CaverStem® and FemCelz® products by physicians in the United States and Europe, and commercializing our StemSpine® treatment for lower back pain. We also recently filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA to treat stroke utilizing our ImmCelzTM technology. In the future, subject to the availability of capital, we will seek to further develop additional therapeutic products that utilize our proprietary intellectual property.

Results of Operations - For the Three-month Periods Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Gross Revenue. We generated $15,000 in revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, in comparison with no revenue for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase of $15,000 reflects the restart of commercial sales following a reduction in the ongoing negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cost of Goods Sold. We generated $6,791 of goods sold for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, in comparison with no cost of goods sold for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase of $6,791 reflects the restart of commercial sales following a reduction in the ongoing negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross Profit/(Loss). We generated a gross profit of $8,209 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, in comparison with no gross profit for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase of $8,209 reflects the restart of commercial sales following a reduction in the ongoing negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, totaled $1,130,057 in comparison with $280,293, for the comparable quarter a year ago. The increase of $849,134 or 302% is primarily due to approximately $176,000 in director and officer insurance premiums that began in September 2021, an increase of approximately $200,000 in salary expenses from terminating the management service agreement in September 2021 and entering into direct employment arrangements with our CEO, CFO and other key leaders of the management team, an increase of approximately $120,000 in marketing expenses, and an increase of $138,000 in outside consulting expenses focused on moving key elements of our programs forward.

We received gross proceeds of $16,003,750, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of seven percent (7%) of the gross proceeds and offering expenses. We used a portion of the proceeds from the offering to (i) redeem our Bridge Notes described below, in the aggregate outstanding amount of $5,146,176, and (ii) repurchase the Company's Series A Preferred Stock from the Company's Chief Executive Officer for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $195,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.
