Notes to Financial Statements
In this report, “Stereotaxis”, the “Company”, “Registrant”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Stereotaxis, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Genesis RMN®, EpochNiobe®, Niobe®Navigant®, Odyssey®, Odyssey Cinema™, Vdrive®, Vdrive Duo™, V-CAS™, V-Loop™, V-Sono™, V-CAS Deflect™, QuikCAS™ and Cardiodrive®are trademarks of Stereotaxis, Inc. All other trademarks that appear in this report are the property of their respective owners.
1. Description of Business
Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets an advanced robotic magnetic navigation system for use in a hospital’s interventional surgical suite, or “interventional lab”, that we believe revolutionizes the treatment of arrhythmias by enabling enhanced safety, efficiency, and efficacy for catheter-based, or interventional, procedures. Our primary products include the Genesis RMN System, the Niobe System, the Odyssey Solution, and related devices. We also offer to our customers the Stereotaxis Imaging Model S x-ray System.
The Genesis RMN and Niobe Systems are designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image-guided delivery of catheters through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter, resulting in improved navigation, efficient procedures, and reduced x-ray exposure.
In addition to the robotic magnetic navigation systems and their components, Stereotaxis also has developed the Odyssey Solution, which consolidates lab information enabling physicians to focus on the patient for optimal procedure efficiency. The system also features a remote viewing and recording capability called Odyssey Cinema, which is an innovative solution that delivers synchronized content for optimized workflow, advanced care, and improved productivity. This tool includes an archiving capability that allows clinicians to store and replay entire procedures or segments of procedures. This information can be accessed from locations throughout the hospital local area network and over the global Odyssey Network providing physicians with a tool for clinical collaboration, remote consultation, and training.
We promote our full suite of products in a typical hospital implementation, subject to regulatory approvals or clearances. This implementation requires a hospital to agree to an upfront capital payment and recurring payments. The upfront capital payment typically includes equipment and installation charges. The recurring payments typically include disposable costs for each procedure, equipment service costs beyond the warranty period, and ongoing software updates.enhancements. In hospitals where our full suite of products has not been implemented, equipment upgrade or expansion can be implemented upon purchasing of the necessary upgrade or expansion.
We have received regulatory clearance, licensing and/or CE Mark approvals necessary for us to market the Genesis RMN System in the U.S. and Europe, and we are in the process of obtaining necessary registrations for extending our markets in other countries. The NiobeSystem, Odyssey Solution, Cardiodrive, and various disposable interventional devices have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., Europe, Canada, China, Japan and various other countries. We have received the regulatory clearance, licensing and/or CE Mark approvals that allow us to market the Vdrive and Vdrive Duo Systems with the V-CAS, V-Loop and V-Sonodevices in the U.S., Canada and Europe. The V-CAS Deflect catheter advancement system has been CE Marked for sale in the Europe. Stereotaxis Imaging Model S is CE marked and FDA cleared.
We have strategic relationships with technology leaders and innovators in the global interventional market. Through these strategic relationships we provide compatibility between our robotic magnetic navigation system and digital imaging and 3D catheter location sensing technology, as well as disposable interventional devices. The maintenance of these strategic relationships, or the establishment of equivalent alternatives, is critical to our commercialization efforts. There are no guarantees that any existing strategic relationships will continue and efforts are ongoing to ensure the availability of integrated next generation systems and/or equivalent alternatives. We cannot provide assurance as to the timeline of the ongoing availability of such compatible systems or our ability to obtain equivalent alternatives on competitive terms or at all.

Risks and Uncertainties
The novel coronavirus COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significantperiodic and unexpected disruptions to the economy, as well as business and capital markets around the world. The full extent of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict.
As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have experienced business disruptions, including travel restrictions on us and our third-party distributors, which have negatively affected our complex sales, marketing, installation, distribution and service network relating to our products and services. The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to negatively affect demand for both our systems and our disposable products by limiting the ability of our sales personnel to maintain their customary contacts with customers as governmental authorities institute prolongednew or continuing quarantines, travel restrictions, and shelter-in-place orders, or as our customers impose limitations on contacts and in-person meetings that go beyond those imposed by governmental authorities.
In addition, many of our hospital customers, for whom the purchase of our system involves a significant capital purchase which may be part of a larger construction project at the customer site (typically the construction of a new building), may themselves be under economic pressures. This may cause delays or cancellations of current purchase orders and other commitments and may exacerbate the long and variable sales and installation cycles for our robotic systems products.magnetic navigation systems. We may also experience significant reductions in demand for our disposable products as our healthcare customers (physicians and hospitals) continue to re-prioritize the treatment of patients and divert resources away from non-coronavirus areas, which we anticipate will lead to the performance of fewer procedures in which our disposable products are used. In addition, patients may consider foregoing or deferring procedures utilizing our products, even if physicians and hospitals are willing to perform them, which could also reduce demand for, and sales of, our disposable products.
As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe our manufacturing operations and supply chains have been minimallymanageably interrupted, but we cannot guarantee that they will not be interrupted more severely in the future. If our manufacturing operations or supply chains are materially interrupted, it may not be possible for us to timely manufacture relevant products at required levels, or at all. A material reduction or interruption to any of our manufacturing processes would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
AsIf governmental authorities around the world continue to institute prolonged mandatory closures, social distancing protocols and shelter-in-place orders, or as private parties on whom we rely to operate our business put in place their own protocols that go beyond those instituted by relevant governmental authorities, our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations or further our product development could be negatively impacted.
Any disruption to the capital markets could negatively impact our ability to raise capital. If the capital markets are disrupted for an extended period of time and we need to raise additional capital, such capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Continued disruptions to the capital markets and other financing sources could also negatively impact our hospital customers’ ability to raise capital or otherwise obtain financing to fund their operations and capital projects. Such could result in delayed spending on current projects, a longer sales cycle for new projects where a large capital commitment is required, and decreased demand for our disposable products as well as an increased risk of customer defaults or delays in payments for our systems, installation, service contracts and disposable products.
We continue to evaluate and, where appropriate, take actions to reduce costs and spending across our organization. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations asthat may be required by federal, state, or local governmental authorities or that may be implemented by our vendors, suppliersuppliers or customers, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.stockholders.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high-credit-quality financial institutions and invests primarily in money market accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of cash that the Company is obligated to maintain in accordance with contractual obligations. The Company’s restricted cash was $1.9 million at June 30, 2021. NaN cash was restricted at December 31, 2020.
Compensating Cash Arrangement

Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. The carrying value of such amounts reported at the applicable balance sheet dates approximates fair value.
9 |
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. General accounting principles for fair value measurement established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). As
The Company’s financial assets consist of Septemberrestricted cash and cash equivalents invested in money market funds which totaled $1.9 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The financial assets consisting of cash equivalents invested in money market funds are classified as Level 2 as described above and total interest income recorded for these investments was insignificant for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any financial liabilities valued at fair value on a recurring basis. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities valued at fair value on a recurring basis.
Revenue and Costs of Revenue
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue“Revenue from Contracts with CustomersCustomers”.
We generate revenue from initial capital sales of systems as well as recurring revenue from the sale of our proprietary disposable devices, from royalties paid to the Company on the sale by Biosense Webster of co-developed catheters, and from other recurring revenue including ongoing software updatesenhancements and service contracts.
We account for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between the Company and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. We record our revenue based on consideration specified in the contract with each customer, net of any taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities.
For contracts containing multiple products and services, the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct, which is if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package, and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company recognizes revenues as the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to a customer.
For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, then the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering market conditions and entity-specific factors including, but not limited to, features and functionality of the products and services and market conditions. The Company regularly reviews standalone selling prices and updates these estimates if necessary.
Our revenue recognition policy affects the following revenue streams in our business as necessary.follows:
Systems:
Contracts related to the sale of systems typically contain separate obligations for the delivery of system(s), installation and an implied obligation to provide software enhancements if and when available for one year following installation. Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control to the customer, which is generally at the point when acceptance occurs that indicates customer acknowledgment of delivery or installation, depending on the terms of the arrangement. Revenue from the implied obligation to deliver software enhancements if and when available is recognized ratably typically over the first year following installation of the system as the customer receives the right to software updatesenhancements throughout the period and is included in Other Recurring Revenue. The Company’s system contracts generally do not provide a right of return. Systems are generally covered by a one-year assurance type warranty; warranty costs were $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million for the periods presented.six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from systemssystem delivery and installation represented 1530% and less than 81% of revenue for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.
Disposables:
Revenue from sales of disposable products is recognized when control is transferred to the customers, which generally occurs at the time of shipment, but can also occur at the time of delivery depending on the customer arrangement. Disposable products are covered by an assurance type warranty that provides for the return of defective products. Warranty costs were not material for the periods presented.six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Disposable revenue represented 2725%% and 333%1% of revenue for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.
Royalty:
The Company is entitled to royalty payments from Biosense Webster, payable quarterly based on net revenues from sales of the co-developed catheters. Royalty revenue from the co-developed catheters represented 87% and 109% of revenue for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.

The Company accounts for its grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and restricted stock units and for its employee stock purchase plan in accordance with the provisions of general accounting principles for share-based payments. These accounting principles require the determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation vests.
TheFor time-based awards, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights at the date of grant. The resulting compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally four years.years. Restricted shares and units granted to employees are valued at the fair market value at the date of grant. The Company amortizes the fair market value to expense over the service period. If the shares are subject to performance objectives, the resulting compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated vesting period and is subject to adjustment based on the actual achievement of objectives.
For market-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the minimum service period regardless of whether or not the market target is probable of being achieved. The fair value of such awards is estimated on the grant date using Monte Carlo simulations.
Shares purchased by employees under the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan are considered to be non-compensatory.
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In periods where there is net income, we apply the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock, as our Convertible Preferred Stockconvertible preferred stock is a participating security. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available to common stockholders. In periods where there is a net loss, the two-class method of computing earnings per share does not apply as our Convertible Preferred Stockconvertible preferred stock does not contractually participate in our losses. We compute diluted net income (loss) per common share using net income (loss) as the “control number” in determining whether potential common shares are dilutive, after giving consideration to all potentially dilutive common shares, including stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock units outstanding during the period and potential issuance of stock upon the conversion of our Convertible Preferred Stockconvertible preferred stock issued and outstanding during the period, except where the effect of such securities would be antidilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” as part of its effort to reduce the complexity of accounting standards. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a materialadopted with no impact onto the Company’s financial results.statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05. The standard modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a current expected credit loss method, otherwise known as “CECL.” The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information, including historical experience, current conditions and a forecast that is supportable. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption is permitted. The standard must be adopted by applying a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The Company anticipates adopting the standard in the first quarter of 2023, although it does not expect a significant impact to the Company’s financial results.

6. Leases
A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, theThe Company adopted ASUaccounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 “Leases”“Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842.842 (“ASC 842”). The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. For the Company, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 842”) primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee.
13 |
The Company leases its facilities under operating leases, which were previously not recognized on the Company’s balance sheets. With the adoption ofleases. In accordance with ASC 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. These leases do not have significant rent escalation holidays, concessions, leasehold improvement incentives, or other build-out clauses. Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions. Many of our leases include both lease (i.e., fixed payments including rent, taxes, and insurance costs) and non-lease components (i.e., common-area or other maintenance costs) which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases. A portion of our principal executive office is subleased to a third party through 2021. The sublease does not have significant rent escalation holidays, concessions, leasehold improvement incentives, or other build-out clauses. In addition, the sublease does not contain contingent rent provisions nor are there options to extend or terminate the sublease.
The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e. leases with initial terms of twelve months or less) on the balance sheet.
The calculated amounts of the ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. ASC 842 requires the use of the discount rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the weighted average discount rate for operating leases was 9.0% and the weighted average remaining lease term for operating lease term is 1.250.5 years.
The following table represents lease costs and other lease information.

The Company received Shareholder approval at its annual meeting on May 20, 2021 for shares to be issued under the award.
The market capitalization requirement is considered a market condition under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” and is estimated on the grant date using Monte Carlo simulations. Recognition of stock-based compensation expense of all the tranches commenced on February 23, 2021, the date of grant, as the probability of meeting the ten market capitalization milestones is not considered in determining the timing of expense recognition. The expense will be recognized on an accelerated basis through 2030. Key assumptions for estimating the performance-based awards fair value at the date of grant included share price on grant date, volatility of the Company’s common stock price, risk free interest rate, and grant term.
Total stock-based compensation recorded as operating expense for the CEO Performance Award was $million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense remaining under the CEO Performance Award assuming the grantee’s continued employment as CEO of the Company, or in a similar capacity, through 2030.

10.Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including certain cash equivalents. Generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurement established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: | Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2: | Values are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or other model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. | |
Level 3: | Values are generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. |
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Accounting Standards Codification, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Overview
Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets an advanced robotic magnetic navigation systemssystem for use in a hospital’s interventional surgical suite, to enhanceor “interventional lab”, that we believe revolutionizes the treatment of arrhythmias by enabling enhanced safety, efficiency, and coronary artery disease.efficacy for catheter-based, or interventional, procedures. Our primary products include the Genesis RMN System, the Niobe System, the Odyssey Solution, and related devices. We also offer to our customers the Stereotaxis Imaging Model S x-ray System. We believe that robotic magnetic navigation systems represent a revolutionary technology in the interventional surgical suite, or “interventional lab,” and have the potential to become the standard of care for a broad range of complex cardiology procedures. We also believe that our technology represents an important advance in the ongoing trend toward digital instrumentation in the interventional lab and provides substantial, clinically important improvements, and cost efficiencies over manual interventional methods, which require years of physician training and often result in long and unpredictable procedure times and sub-optimal therapeutic outcomes.
The Genesis RMN System is the latest generation of the robotic magnetic navigation system. This system isand Niobe Systems are designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image-guided delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter, or guidewire, resulting in improved navigation, efficient procedures, and reduced x-ray exposure. We have received regulatory clearance, licensing and CE Mark approvals necessary for us to market the Genesis RMN System in the U.S. and Europe. The core components of the previous generation robotic magnetic navigation system, the Niobe System, have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., Canada, Europe, China, Japan, and various other countries.
In addition to the robotic magnetic navigation systems and their components, Stereotaxis also has developed the Odyssey Solution, which consolidates lab information enabling physicians to focus on the patient for optimal procedure efficiency. The system also features a remote viewing and recording capability called Odyssey Cinema, which is an innovative solution deliveringthat delivers synchronized content for optimized workflow, advanced care, and improved productivity. This tool includes an archiving capability that allows clinicians to store and replay entire procedures or segments of procedures. This information can be accessed from locations throughout the hospital local area network and over the global Odyssey Network providing physicians with a tool for clinical collaboration, remote consultation, and training.
We promote our full suite of products in a typical hospital implementation, subject to regulatory approvals or clearances. This implementation requires a hospital to agree to an upfront capital payment and recurring payments. The upfront capital payment typically includes equipment and installation charges. The recurring payments typically include disposable costs for each procedure, equipment service costs beyond the warranty period, and ongoing software enhancements. In hospitals where our full suite of products has not been implemented, equipment upgrade or expansion can be implemented upon purchasing of the necessary upgrade or expansion.
We have received regulatory clearance, licensing and/or CE Mark approvals necessary for us to market the Genesis RMN System in the U.S. and Europe, and we are in the process of obtaining necessary registrations for extending our markets in other countries. The Niobe System, Odyssey Solution, may be acquiredCardiodrive, and various disposable interventional devices have received regulatory clearance in conjunctionthe U.S., Europe, Canada, China, Japan and various other countries.

We have strategic relationships with technology leaders and innovators in the global interventional market. Through these strategic relationships we provide compatibility between our robotic magnetic navigation system and digital imaging and 3D catheter location sensing technology, as well as disposable interventional devices. The maintenance of these strategic relationships, or the establishment of equivalent alternatives, is critical to our commercialization efforts. There are no guarantees that any existing strategic relationships will continue and efforts are ongoing to ensure the availability of integrated next generation systems and/or equivalent alternatives. We cannot provide assurance as to the timeline of the ongoing availability of such compatible systems or our ability to obtain equivalent alternatives on competitive terms or at all.
COVID-19 Pandemic
First Quarter of 2020
Prior to the spread of COVID-19, we experienced procedure trends consistent with the fourth quarter of 2019. We also saw strength in new capital orders. Beginning in January 2020, we saw a substantial reduction in robotic procedures in Asia Pacific, especially in China. By the height of the pandemic in that region, weekly procedures decreased to approximately 40% of the average rate experienced in the fourth quarter. As the COVID-19 pandemic subsided in China in March 2020, procedure volume began to recover and, by the end ofDuring the first quarter of 2021, periodic resurgences of COVID-19 and the delayed rollout of vaccines in some geographies continued to impact our procedure volumes. Overall, procedure volumes improved slightly compared to the fourth quarter 2020 weand were seeing weeklyapproximately 5% higher than the first quarter of 2020. While procedures in the Asia Pacific region approach 70% of the fourth quarter average rates. Procedure disruptionhad recovered to pre-pandemic levels, procedures in other geographies was not significant until the middle of March 2020, when the worldwide impact of COVID-19 intensified. By the end of March,remained impacted with total procedures approximately 15% below those seen in the U.S and Europe, which represent the majority of our procedures, declined to approximately 70% of the weekly procedure rate experienced in the fourthfirst quarter of 2019.
As the pandemic spread throughout the first quarter of 2020, various local restrictions on travel, mandatory closures, social distancing protocols and shelter-in-place orders negatively impacted our ability to complete installation and service activities, which resulted in declines in system and service revenue in the first quarter.
Our supply-chain also experienced some impact as some suppliers struggled to source sub-components in February when most factories in China were seemingly closed. These issues were mostly alleviated by the end of the first quarter with the opening of the Chinese economy. During the first quarter, we also took proactive actions to reduce the risk that a prolonged future reduction in Chinese manufacturing might have on us.
Second Quarter of 2020
During the early portion of the second quarter, weekly procedures in the United States and Europe continued to decline, reaching approximately 40% of fourth quarter 2019 levels by the middle of April. In May, with the reopening of various regions, procedures in both geographies began to recover and by the end of June, procedures were approximating the level seen before the pandemic. During the second quarter of 2020, weekly2021, as the rollout of vaccines continued in the US and were varied in other geographies, overall procedure rates in Asia Pacific continued to improve, eventually reachingvolumes for the pre-pandemic weekly procedure rate.second quarter 2021 remained fairly consistent with the first quarter of 2021 and were nearly 40% higher than the second quarter of 2020.
Third Quarter of 2020

The recent resurgence of COVID-19supply chain concerns do remain in some areas, may again cause hospitals and patientswe are generally able to conduct normal business activities albeit in some areasa more deliberate manner than prior to again postpone procedures. Given these factors, we cannot reliably estimate the impact to procedure volume in the fourth quarter of 2020 and beyond.pandemic.
Ongoing
WeEven with the rollout of effective vaccines, we do not expect all markets to recover at the same pace, and some markets may continue to experience resurgence in infection rates for many months.pace. The magnitude of the impact that the pandemic will have on our business will likely continue to vary by individual geography based on the extent of the outbreak in each area, the timing of vaccine distribution, specific governmental restrictions and the availability of testing capabilities, personal protective equipment, and hospital facilities, as well as decisions by our vendors, suppliers, customers and, ultimately, patients in response to the pandemic, none of which we are able to currently and accurately predict. While we cannot reliably estimate the depth or length of the impact, we continue to anticipate significant, periodic disruptions to our procedures volumes, service activities and system placements throughout the remainder of 2020 and beyond as COVID-19 infections spread, causing additional strain on hospital resources, combined with recommended deferrals of elective procedures by governments and other authorities.in 2021. In addition, we would expect that additional capital system orders will also experience some delay.

Capital markets and worldwide economies have also been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause athe outlook for 2021 depends on future developments, including but not limited to: the length and severity of the outbreak (including new strains, which may be more contagious, more severe or less responsive to treatment or vaccines), the effectiveness of containment actions, and the timing of vaccinations and achievement of herd immunity. The impact on local and/or global economiceconomies is uncertain, including ongoing risk of recession. Such economic disruptions, including a recession, could have a material adverse effect on our long-term business as hospitals curtail and reduce capital and overall spending or redirect such spending to treatments related directly to the pandemic. To-date,To date, our manufacturing operations and supply chains have been minimally interrupted, but we cannot guarantee that such will not be interrupted further in the future. If our manufacturing operations or supply chains are interrupted, it may not be possible for us to timely manufacture relevant products at required levels, or at all. A material reduction or interruption to any of our manufacturing processes could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic and local actions, such as “shelter-in-place” orders and restrictions on our ability to travel and access our customers or temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers, could also significantly impact our sales and our ability to ship our products and supply our customers. Any of these events could negatively impact the number of procedures performed and the number of system placements and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. We review our estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe the following accounting policies are critical to the judgments and estimates we use in preparing our financial statements. For a complete listing of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the initial capital sales of systems as well as recurring revenue from the sale of our proprietary disposable devices, from royalties paid to the Company on the sale by Biosense Webster of co-developed catheters, and from other recurring revenue including ongoing software updatesenhancements and service contracts.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue“Revenue from Contracts with Customers,,” we account for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between the Company and the customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. We record our revenue based on consideration specified in the contract with each customer, net of any taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities.
For contracts containing multiple products and services the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct, which is if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package, and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company recognizes revenues as the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to a customer.
For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, then the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering market conditions and entity-specific factors including, but not limited to, features and functionality of the products and services and market conditions. The Company regularly reviews standalone selling prices and updates these estimates ifas necessary.
Systems:
Contracts related to the sale of systems typically contain separate obligations for the delivery of system(s), installation and an implied obligation to provide software enhancements if and when available for one year following installation. Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control to the customer, which is generally at the point when acceptance occurs that indicates customer acknowledgment of delivery or installation, depending on the terms of the arrangement. Revenue from the implied obligation to deliver software enhancements if and when available is recognized ratably typically over the first year following installation of the system as the customer receives the right to software updatesenhancements throughout the period and is included in Other Recurring Revenue. The Company’s system contracts generally do not provide a right of return.

Leases
On January 1, 2019, theThe Company adoptedaccounts for leases in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases”“Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. For contracts where the Company is the lessee, operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liability on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company currently does not have any finance leases.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate when the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company also has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components. The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components for the Company’s operating leases. Additionally, the Company applies the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption in which right of use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases less than twelve months.
Cost of Contracts
Costs of systems revenue include direct product costs, installation labor and other costs, estimated warranty costs, and initial training and product maintenance costs. These costs are recognized at the time of sale. Costs of disposable revenue include direct product costs and estimated warranty costs and are recognized at the time of sale. Cost of revenue from services and license fees are recognized when incurred. Cost of sublease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and restricted stock units and for its employee stock purchase plan in accordance with the provisions of general accounting principles for share-based payments. These accounting principles require the determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation vests.
21 |
For time-based awards, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights at the date of grant. The resulting compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally four years. Restricted shares and units granted to employees are valued at the fair market value at the date of grant. The Company amortizes the fair market value to expense over the service period. If the shares are subject to performance objectives, the resulting compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated vesting period and is subject to adjustment based on the actual achievement of objectives.
For market-based awards, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the minimum service period regardless of whether or not the market target is probable of being achieved. The fair value of such awards is estimated on the grant date using Monte Carlo simulations.
Shares purchased by employees under the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan are considered to be non-compensatory.

Although the outcomes of these lawsuits and claims are uncertain, we dothe Company does not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on ourits business, financial condition or results of operations.
On April 29, 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court by Richard Barre, a purported shareholder. The defendants were the Company and its current directors. The complaint alleged breaches of fiduciary duty against the defendants based on alleged disclosure deficiencies in the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by the Company on April 9, 2021 relative to the vote at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that was to be held on May 20, 2021 (the “2021 Stockholder Meeting”) seeking stockholder approval of issuance of shares under the Performance Share Unit Award (the “CEO Performance Award”) granted to David L. Fischel, the Company’s chief executive officer. The complaint sought various remedies, including a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the vote at the 2021 Stockholder Meeting to approve the issuance of shares for the CEO Performance Award. Following discussions with the plaintiff’s counsel and the Delaware Chancery Court, the parties agreed to an expedited discovery and briefing schedule, with the Chancery Court scheduled to hear arguments on the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction on May 18, 2021.

As a resultdescribed in Note 9 of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have experienced business disruptions, including travel restrictions on us and our third-party distributors, which have negatively affected our complex sales, marketing, installation, distribution and service network relating to our products and services. The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to negatively affect demand for our both our systems and our disposable products by limiting the ability of our sales personnel to maintain their customary contacts with customers as governmental authorities institute prolonged quarantines, travel restrictions, and shelter-in-place orders, or as our customers impose limitations on contacts and in-person meetings that go beyond those imposed by governmental authorities.
In addition, many of our hospital customers, for whom the purchase of our system involves a significant capital purchase which may be part of a larger construction project at the customer site (typically the construction of a new building), may themselves be under economic pressures. This may cause delays or cancellations of current purchase orders and other commitments, and may exacerbate the long and variable sales and installation cycles for our robotic systems products. We may also experience significant reductions in demand for our disposable products as our healthcare customers (physicians and hospitals) continue to re-prioritize the treatment of patients and divert resources away from non-coronavirus areas, which we anticipate will leadaccompanying notes to the performanceconsolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of fewer proceduresthis Form 10-Q, on February 23, 2021, the Company`s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the grant of the Performance Share Unit Award (“CEO Performance Award”) pursuant to the CEO Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (the “PSU Agreement”), to David L. Fischel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the PSU Agreement, we will incur significant additional stock-based compensation expense over the term of the award regardless of whether or not any of the milestones are achieved as the probability of meeting the ten market capitalization milestones is not considered in which our disposable products are used. In addition, patients may consider foregoing or deferring procedures utilizing our products, even if physicians and hospitals are willing to perform them, which could also reduce demanddetermining the timing of expense recognition. The expense will be recognized on an accelerated basis through 2030. Total stock-based compensation recorded as operating expense for and sales of, our disposable products.
the CEO Performance Award was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the dateCompany had approximately $54.9 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense remaining under the filingCEO Performance Award if Mr. Fischel continues to serve as CEO, or in a similar capacity, through 2030. This additional stock-based compensation expense, incurred regardless of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe our manufacturing operations and supply chains have been minimally interrupted, but we cannot guarantee that they willwhether or not be interrupted more severely inany milestones are achieved, increases the future. If our manufacturing operations or supply chains are materially interrupted, it may not be possibledifficulty for usthe Company to timely manufacture relevant products at required levels, or at all. A material reduction or interruption to any of our manufacturing processes would haveachieve a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
As governmental authorities around the world continue to institute prolonged mandatory closures, social distancing protocols and shelter-in-place orders, orprofitable position as private parties on whom we rely to operate our business put in place their own protocols that go beyond those institutedmeasured by relevant governmental authorities, our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations or further our product development could be negatively impacted.
Any continued or future disruption to the capital markets could negatively impact our ability to raise capital. If the capital markets are disrupted for an extended period of time and we need to raise additional capital, such capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Disruptions to the capital markets and other financing sources could also negatively impact our hospital customers’ ability to raise capital or otherwise obtain financing to fund their operations and capital projects. Such could result in delayed spending on current projects, a longer sales cycle for new projects where a large capital commitment is required, and decreased demand for our disposable products as well as an increased risk of customer defaults or delays in payments for our systems installations, and for service contracts and our disposable products.generally accepted accounting principles.
Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution upon payout of shares under the CEO Performance Award.
If Mr. Fischel achieves all the milestones specified in the CEO Performance Award, by increasing the Company’s market capitalization to $5.5 billion for the specified period, he will receive 13,000,000 shares of common stock subject to the vesting requirements in the agreement. If (i) all 13,000,000 shares of common stock subject to the PSU Agreement were to become fully vested, outstanding and held by Mr. Fischel; (ii) all other shares of common stock and stock units held by Mr. Fischel were fully vested and were outstanding; (iii) estimated dilution as a result of potential exercises or conversions from existing grants to employees and non-employee directors and the outstanding convertible warrants and preferred stock were to be considered; and (iv) there were no other dilutive events of any kind, Mr. Fischel would beneficially own approximately 10% of the outstanding shares of Stereotaxis common stock after the dilutive events described above and without considering the impact of any other potential future dilutive events or the potential sale of stock required to pay taxes upon the vesting of the restricted stock units.
Certain provisions in the PSU Agreement may discourage a change in control of the Company even if such a transaction would otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.
Under the terms of the CEO Performance Award, in the event of a change in control of the Company, the market capitalization formula will be modified to equal the total amount of consideration paid to all equity holders of the Company, with the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the CEO Performance Grant giving effect to such valuation. For all valuations above $1.0 billion in connection with a change in control, partial credit for the next following tranche shall be allocated pro rata based on the market capitalization in such change in control. Any vested shares upon such a change in control will vest and be paid at the time of the consummation of the change in control, and the service component of the CEO Performance Award will otherwise be disregarded. These terms may discourage potential business partners from pursuing a merger or acquisition, even if the merger or acquisition would be viewed favorably by, or be beneficial to, our other stockholders.
We are highly dependent on the services of Mr. Fischel, and our compensation package, including the CEO Performance Award, may fail to retain him.
Since assuming the role of CEO in February 2017, Mr. Fischel has revitalized the Company’s commercial capabilities, strengthened its financial position, and led the development of a robust innovation strategy, and stockholders have benefited substantially, with Stereotaxis’ stock appreciating approximately 10-fold. However, between February 2017 and December 2020, Mr. Fischel served as CEO without drawing a salary or any other form of cash or equity compensation for his work as CEO, and currently his only compensation is an annual salary of $60,000, which is substantially below market. While the Board believes that the CEO Performance Award provides substantial future benefit to all its stockholders and incentivizes Mr. Fischel to serve as CEO for the long term, there is no assurance that Mr. Fischel will continue as CEO.
