Explanatory Note

This amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) of GI Dynamics, Inc. (“the Company”) is being filed to amend the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2019, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2019 (the “Original Filing”). The Amendment corrects a numerical error that resulted from a publishing software tabulation error in the Statement of Cash Flows on the Debt issuance costs line item and a subsequent rounding effect in a table within the Original Filing. No other changes have been made to the Amendment.  

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements concerning our business, operations, financial performance and condition as well as our plans, objectives and expectations for our business, operations and financial performance and condition. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q10-Q that are not of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our expectations with respect to our intellectual property position;

our expectations with respect to our clinical trials;

our expectations with respect to regulatory submissions and receipt and maintenance of regulatory approvals;

our ability to commercialize our products;

our ability to develop and commercialize new products;

our expectation with regard to product manufacture and inventory; and

our estimates regarding our capital requirements and our need for additional financing.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “aims,” “assumes,” “goal,” “intends,” “objective,” “potential,” “positioned,” “target,” “continue,” “seek”“seek,” “vision” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and our management’s beliefs and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in some cases beyond our control. As a result, any or all of our forward- lookingforward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may later become inaccurate. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward- lookingforward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section (which incorporates by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC), that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward- lookingforward-looking statements that we make.

You are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless required by law, we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or otherwise. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

GI Dynamics, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Nature of Business

GI Dynamics Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 24, 2003, as a Delaware corporation, with operations based in Boston, Massachusetts.

GI Dynamics® is a clinical stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of EndoBarrier, a medical device indicatedintended for treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity or obesity alone.  obesity.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (also known as type 2 diabetes) is a long-term progressive metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and reduced insulin production. PeopleAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with type 2 diabetes represent 90% of the worldwide diabetes population, whereas 10% of this population is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (a form of diabetes mellitus in which not enough insulin is produced).

Being overweight is a condition where the patient’s body mass index (BMI) is greater than 25 (kg/m2); obesity is a condition where the patient’s BMI is greater than 30.30, according to the CDC. Obesity and its comorbidities contribute to the progression of type 2 diabetes. Many experts believe obesity contributes to higher levels of insulin resistance, which creates a feedback loop that increases the severity of type 2 diabetes.

When considering treatment for type 2 diabetes, it is optimal to address obesity concurrently with diabetes.

EndoBarrier® is intended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity in a minimally invasive and reversible manner.manner.

The current treatment paradigm for type 2 diabetes is primarilylifestyle therapy combined with pharmacological treatment, whereby treating clinicians prescribe a treatment regimen of 1–4one to four concurrent medications that could include insulin for patients with higher levels of blood sugar. Insulin carries a significant risk of increased mortality and directly contributesmay contribute to weight gain, which in turn leadsmay lead to higher levels of insulin resistance and diabetes. In other words, the primary drug used to treat severe type 2 diabetes raises risk significantly and increases the downstream progressionincreased levels of the disease by increasing obesity.blood sugar. Fewer than 50% of patients treated pharmacologically for type 2 diabetes are adequately managed, meaning that medication alonedoes not lower blood sugar adequately and does not halt the progressive nature of diabetes forof these patients.

The current pharmacological treatment algorithms for type 2 diabetes fall short of ideal, creating a large and unfilled treatment gap.

Our vision is to make EndoBarrier the essential nonpharmacological and nonsurgicalnon-anatomy-altering treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. We intend to achieve this vision by providing a safe and effective device, focusing on optimal patient safety,care, supporting treating clinicians, adding to the extensive body of clinical evidence around EndoBarrier, by conducting clinical trials, gaining appropriate regulatory approvals, continuing to improve our products and systems, operating the company in a lean fashion, and maximizing shareholder value.

EndoBarrier® is intended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity in a minimally invasive and reversible manner and is designed to mimic the mechanism of action of duodenal-jejunal exclusion created by gastric bypass surgery.

Since incorporation, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to product commercialization, research and development, business planning, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets, and raising capital. The Company currently operates in one reportable business segment.  

EndoBarrier History

In 2011, the Company began commercial sales of its product, EndoBarrier, which was approved and commercially available in multiple countries outside the U.S. at the time.

In the U.S.,2013, the Company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), to commence its initial pivotal trial of EndoBarrier (the “ENDO Trial”), which the Company began in 2013.. The multi-center, randomized, double-blinded study planned to enroll 500 patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and obesity at 25 sites in the U.S. The primary endpoint was improvement in diabetes control as measured by HbA1c levels. In the second half of fiscal year 2015, the Company announced its decision to stop the ENDO Trial.

On August 21,Trial in the second half of fiscal year 2015 the Companyand thereafter announced that it was reducing headcount by approximately 46% as part of its efforts to restructure its business and expenses in response to stopping the ENDO Trial and to ensure sufficient cash remained available for it to establish new priorities, continue limited market development and research, and to evaluate strategic options.

In the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2016, the Company took additional actions that it thought necessary to allow the opportunity to evolve its strategic options. These actions resulted in non-recurring charges totaling approximately $1.1 million, including $0.4 million related to restructuring charges in our second quarter, $0.6 million related to employee departures in both our second and third quarters and $0.1 million related to abandonment of our former headquarters in Lexington, MA.

Going Concern

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents balances. The Company continues to evaluate which markets are appropriate to pursue regulatory approvals, continue pursuing reimbursement, market awareness and general market development and selling efforts. The Company continues to restructure its business and costs, establish new priorities, and evaluate strategic options. As a result, if the Company remains in business, it expects to incur significant operating losses for the next several years.

Table of Contents

The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 had an accumulated deficit of approximately $265$270 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $3.9$5.5 million, cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.2$3.5 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.1$1.3 million. $2.8 million from the second and final tranche of the 2018 private placement was received in November 2018. Cash provided by these activities will be used predominantly to prepare for the Company’s clinical trial, which will result in increased expenses. The Company does not expect its current cash balances will be sufficient to operate beyond the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, asJuly 1, 2019 if cash is required to settle the 2017 Note is payable on December 31, 2018.that date. Both parties to the 2017 Note are aware that if the Company is required to make this payment on the due date of December 31, 2018, itJuly 1, 2019, the Company will be required either to renegotiate the due date of the loan or potentially cease operations. Crystal Amber and the Company are planningin discussions to discuss an extensionextend of the due date of the 2017 Note, but there can be no assurance that any extension will occur. If the Company is able to amend the terms of the 2017 Note, it believes its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations intoto the earlierend of the second quarter ofAugust 2019, or until the modified due date of the note. The Company will need to raise additional funds through any combination of collaborative arrangements, strategic alliances, and additional equity and debt financings or from other sources. 

The Company has no guaranteed source of capital that will sustain operations beyond the fourth quarter of 2018, as the 2017 Note is currently payable on December 31, 2018. Crystal Amber and the Company are planning to discuss an amendment to the terms of the 2017 Note, but there can be no guarantee that this will happen. If the Company is able to amend the terms of the 2017 Note, it believes its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations into the earlier of the second quarter of 2019 or until the modified due date of the note.August 2019. There can be no assurance that other potential financing opportunities will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. As such, if access to capital is not achieved to satisfy cash needs in the near term, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially harmed or the Company may be required to cease operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 and the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on March 28, 2018.13, 2019. The December 31, 20172018 consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GI Dynamics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation including reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, research and development, contingencies, valuation of warrantderivative liabilities, estimates used to assess its ability to continue as a going concern and stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Inventory

When the Company resumes commercial activity, the Company will state inventory at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or net realizable value. When capitalizing inventory, the Company considerswill consider factors such as status of regulatory approval, alternative use of inventory, and anticipated commercial use of the product. At September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, there was no inventory or reserves against inventory on the Company had a net inventory balance of $0.sheet.  

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost and are depreciated when placed in service using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives.

 

Included in property and equipment are certain costs of software obtained for internal use. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred, while costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training costs related to software obtained for internal use are expensed as incurred.

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Costs for capital assets not yet placed into service have been capitalized as construction in progress and will be depreciated in accordance with the above guidelines once placed into service. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recorded a loss on disposal of $2 thousand in connection with the expiration of its office lease and the related leasehold improvements on April 13, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) using the modified retrospective method. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Upon adoption, the Company discontinued revenue deferral under the sell-through model and commenced recording revenue upon delivery to distributors, net of estimated returns. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, there was no impact on the Company’s financial statements. The comparative financial information presented has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Revenues include product sales, net of estimated returns. As of January 1, 2018, revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for product transferred. Revenue is recognized when contractual performance obligations have been satisfied and control of the product has been transferred to the customer. In most cases, the Company has a single product delivery performance obligation. Product returns are estimated based on historical data and evaluation of current information.

From January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018, the Company did not enter into any revenue contracts with customers and did not recognize or defer any revenue related to new contracts.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had deferred revenue of approximately $11 thousand.

At December 31, 2017, following the notification by MHRA, the Company calculated an estimate for returns, reversed its revenue and recorded an accrued expense estimate of $0.2 million of product return related costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of revenue.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs include costs of all basic research activities as well as other research, engineering, and technical effort required to develop a new product or service or make significant improvement to an existing product or manufacturing process.

Research and development costs also include pre-approvalpreapproval regulatory and clinical trial expenses.

Patent Costs

The Company expenses as incurred all costs, including legal expenses, associated with obtaining patents until the patented technology becomes feasible. All costs incurred after the patented technology is feasible will be capitalized as an intangible asset. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, no such costs had been capitalized. The Company expensed approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 ofno patent costs within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine monthseach quarter ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.    

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accountsWe account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”)or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”)or ASC, 718,Stock Compensation(“, or ASC 718”),718, which requires that stock-based compensation be measured and recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such expense be measured at the grant date fair value.

For awards that vest based on service conditions, the Company useswe use the straight-line method to allocate compensation expense to reporting periods. The grant date fair value of options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions including volatility, expected term and the fair value of the underlying common stock,Common Stock, among others.

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change, and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation could be materially different in the future. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is based on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instrument with a remaining term similar to the expected term of the stock-based award. Because we do not have a sufficient history to estimate the expected term, we use the simplified method for estimating the expected term. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. We estimate our expected stock volatility based on our to-date historical price volatility. We have not paid and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In 2017, the Company elected to use an actual occurrence method of recording award forfeitures rather than the prior standard of estimating forfeitures as of the grant date.

We periodically issuesissue performance-based awards. For these awards, vesting will occur upon the achievement of certain milestones. When achievement of the milestone is deemed probable, the Company expenseswe expense the compensation of the respective awardsstock award over the implicit service period.

Stock awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees(“ (“ASC 505-50”). The measurement date for non-employee awards is generally the date performance of services required from the non-employee is complete. For non-employee awards

that vest based on service conditions, the Company expenses the value of the awards over the related service period, provided they expect the service condition to be met. The Company records the expense of services rendered by non- employees based on the estimated fair value of the stock option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model over the contractual term of the non-employee. The fair value of unvested non-employee awards is remeasured at each reporting period and expensed over the vesting term of the underlying stock options on a straight-line basis. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company adjusted its accumulated deficit related to the accounting policy election to recognize the impact of share-based award forfeitures only as they occur rather than by applying an estimated forfeiture rate as previously required. ASU No. 2016-09 requires that this change be applied using a modified-retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is adopted. As a result of this adoption, the Company recorded a decrease to accumulated deficit of approximately $28 thousand with an offset to Additional Paid in Capital as of January 1, 2018.  

The stock-based compensation plans provide that grantees may have the right to exercise an option prior to vesting. Shares purchased upon the exercise of unvested options will be subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying options and are subject to repurchase at the original exercise price by the Company should the grantee discontinue providing services to the Company for any reason, prior to becoming fully vested in such shares.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company regularly reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived assets to determine whether indicators of impairment may exist that warrant adjustments to carrying values or estimated useful lives. If indications of impairment exist, projected future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the carrying amount to determine whether the asset’s value is recoverable. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds such projected undiscounted cash flows, the asset will be written down to its estimated fair value.

Loss Contingencies

In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company accrues anticipated costs of settlement, damages, and losses for loss contingencies based on historical experience or to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable. Otherwise, the Company expenses these costs as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is more likely, the Company accrues the minimum amount of the range.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method. The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the Company’s financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to reflect the uncertainty associated with their ultimate realization.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements by applying a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Guarantees

The Company has identified the guarantees described below as disclosable, in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees.

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is unlimited; however, the Company has directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that should limit its exposure and enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

The Company is a party to a number of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that contain typical provisions that obligate the Company to indemnify the other parties to such agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. Such indemnification obligations are usually in effect from the date of execution of the applicable agreement for a period equal to the applicable statute of limitations. The aggregate maximum potential future liability of the Company under such indemnification provisions is uncertain.

For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, the Company had not experienced any material losses related to these indemnification obligations, and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. The Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of these obligations is negligible. As a result, no related reserves have been established.

Issuance Costs Related to Equity and Debt

The Company allocates issuance costs between the individual freestanding instruments identified on the same basis as proceeds were allocated. Issuance costs associated with the issuance of stock or equity contracts (i.e., equity-classified warrants and convertible preferred stock) are recorded as a charge against the gross proceeds of the offering. Any issuance costs associated with the issuance of liability-classified warrants are expensed as incurred. Issuance costs associated with the issuance of debt (i.e., convertible debt) is recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability but limited to the notional value of the debt. The Company accounts for debt as liabilities measured at amortized cost and amortizes the resulting debt discount to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected term of the notes pursuant to ASC 835, Interest ("ASC 835"). To the extent that the reduction from issuance costs of the carrying amount of the debt liability would reduce the carrying amount below zero, such excess is recorded as interest expense.

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” Under the ASC 470-20, an entity must separately account for the liability and equity components of the convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer’s economic interest cost.

Table of Contents

The effect of ASC 470-20 on the accounting for our convertible debt instruments is that the equity component is required to be included in the additional paid-in capital section of stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the value of the equity component is treated as original issue discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the notes. As a result, we are required to record non-cash interest expense as a result of the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the convertible debt to their face amount over the term of the convertible debt. We report higher interest expense in our financial results because ASC 470-20 requires interest to include both the current period’s amortization of the debt discount and the instrument’s coupon interest.

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount. When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events occurring after the date of its consolidated balance sheet for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements. ThereOther than the following, there have been no material subsequent events that occurred through the date the Company issued its consolidated financial statements that require disclosure in or adjustment to its consolidated financial statements.

On April 22, 2019, the Company entered into a right of use lease (see Note 11).

On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to its 2017 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and its 2017 Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 10).

On May 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and issued a Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (see Notes 4 and 10).

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the effect of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard to annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.    

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015- 11”). ASU 2015-11, which simplifies the measurement of inventories valued under most methods, including the Company’s inventories valued under FIFO — the first-in, first-out cost method. Inventories valued under LIFO — the last-in, first-out method — are excluded. Under this new guidance, inventories valued under these methods would be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price less reasonable costs to sell the inventory. This guidance is effective for annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within the year of adoption, with early application permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which addresses the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. This ASU primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, this ASU clarifies the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. This standard became effective on January 1, 2018. This standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 requires that lessees recognize in the statement of financial position for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset representing the lessee’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. TheWe have elected not to apply the guidance to short-term leases and the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significantASU 2016-02 has no impact on our consolidated financial statements.statements as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

In March 2016,September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,2017-13, Compensation—Stock CompensationRevenue Recognition (Topic 718): Improvements605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 will simplifySEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the income tax consequences, accountingStaff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments. This new standard allows for forfeitures and classification on the statements of consolidated cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company electedan extension to certain public business entities to adopt the series of ASU’s defining revenue recognition and ASU 2016-09 in2016-02 regarding Leases. We qualify as a Public Business Entity and do not qualify for the first quarter of 2017 retrospectively to January 1, 2017. As a result of adopting ASU No. 2016-09 during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company adjusted its accumulated deficit related to the accounting policy election to recognize the impact of share-based award forfeitures only as they occur rather than by applying an estimated forfeiture rate as previously required. ASU No. 2016-09 requires that this change be applied using a modified-retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the guidance is adopted. As a result of this adoption, the Company recorded a decrease to accumulated deficit of approximately $28 thousand with an offset to Additional Paid-in Capital as of January 1, 2017.extensions.

In August 2016,June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,2018-07, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), or ASU 2016-15.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-152018-09, Codification Improvements, or ASU 2018-09, which affects a wide variety of topics, including the following: Amendments to Subtopic 220-10, Income Statement— Reporting Comprehensive Income—Overall relates to income taxes not payable in cash; Amendments to Subtopic 470-50, Debt—Modifications and noted it had no impactExtinguishments relates to debt extinguishment and requires that the net carrying amount of extinguished fair value elected debt equals its fair value at reacquisition and related gains or losses in other comprehensive income must be included in net income upon extinguishment of the debt; Amendments to Subtopic 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity—Overall relates to combinations of freestanding financial instruments with non-controlling interests; Amendments to Subtopic 718-740, Compensation—Stock Compensation—Income Taxes relate to recognition timing clarification for excess tax benefits or deficiencies for compensation expense;Amendments to Subtopic 805-740, Business Combinations— Income Taxes relate to allocating tax provisions to an acquired entity;Amendments to Subtopic 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging— Overall relate to accounting for offsetting derivatives; Amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement— Overall relate to the wording with respect to how transfer restrictions effect the fair value of an asset and adds explicit wording to allow entities to measure fair value on our consolidateda net basis for those portfolios in which financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  assets and financial liabilities and nonfinancial instruments are managed and valued together;

Amendments to Subtopic 940-405, Financial Services—Brokers and Dealers—Liabilities relate to guidance about offsetting on the balance sheet; and Amendments to Subtopic 962-325, Plan Accounting—Defined Contribution Pension Plans—Investments—Other relate to plan evaluation of whether a readily determinable fair value exists to determine whether those investments may qualify for the practical expedient to measure at net asset value in accordance with Topic 820. The transition and selection of an effective date is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment, but many of the amendments have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, for public business entities.  The Company is currently evaluating the relevance of each component and potential impact of ASU 2018-09 components on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016,July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18,2018-11, Statement of Cash FlowsLeases (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of842), Targeted Improvements, or ASU 2018-11, which primarily provides the ability to elect not to implement a modified retrospective presentation in the financial statements during transition periods and provides guidance to lessors on contract component separation. The Company declines the election and doing so has no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB Emerging Issue Task Force)issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, or ASU 2016-18. This new standard addresses2018-13, which provides guidance focused on the diversity that exists indisclosure requirements for disclosing fair value estimates, assumptions, and methodology. Removed requirements to disclose details around amount and reasoning for level 1 to level 2 transfers, timing policies for transfer between levels, and the classificationvaluation processes for level 3 fair value measurements. Modified requirements include details regarding net asset redemption restrictions and presentationtiming related to uncertainty disclosures. Added requirements to include disclosures of changes in restricted cash onunrealized gains and losses for recurring level 3 measurements held as of the statementreporting date and disclosures around the range and weighted average of cash flows. Thesignificant inputs used to develop level 3 fair value measurements. These amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance isare effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the year of adoption, with early adoption permitted. Our consolidated financial statements reflect this standard for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.  

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (ASC 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity forall entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of ASU 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.2019. The Company has chosenamendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this standard on April 1, 2018 with retroactive restatementUpdate and delay adoption of comparative periods.the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company has concluded thatis currently evaluating the retroactive provisionsindividual components and as these are disclosure refinements, expects no impact to its consolidated financial statements on adoption.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements, or ASU 2019-01, which provides guidance focused on lessor accounting which is not applicable to us as we provide no leases to other parties, and also includes an explicit exception to a disclosure requirement for interim periods within the year of adoption. ASU 2017-11 had2019-01 has no impact on the accounting for the Company’s previously outstanding warrant which had been issued to the warrant holder as stock compensation.quarterly consolidated financial statements.

3. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common stock equivalents are determined using the treasury stock method. For diluted net loss per share purposes, the Company excludes stock options and other stock-based awards, including shares issued as a result of option exercises but which are subject to repurchase by the Company, whose effect would be anti-dilutive from the calculation. During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share, as their effect was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred. Therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share was the same in all periods presented.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as of September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, as they would be anti-dilutive:

4. Warrants to Purchase Common Stock and CDIs

On May 4, 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement pursuant to which a consulting firm provides strategic advisory, finance, accounting, human resources and administrative functions, including chief financial officer services, to the Company. In connection with the consulting agreement, the Company granted the consulting firm a warrant (“Consultant Warrant”) to purchase up to 28,532 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share equal to $0.64. The Consultant Warrant vestsis fully vested and expires on a monthly basis over two years and has a term of five years.May 4, 2021. The Company has reserved 28,532 shares of common stock related to the Consultant Warrant. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Consultant Warrants had not been exercised.

Table of Contents

The Company accounts for the Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Consultant Warrant contains a cashless exercise provision which meets the net settlement criteria of ASC 815 and is therefore considered a derivative and is classified as a liability.

The Consultant Warrant is classified as a liability and as such the fair value of the Warrant must be remeasured at each reporting period. At the time the Warrant was issued, the Company estimated the fair value of the Warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company remeasures the fair value of the Warrant at each reporting period using current assumptions. Changes in value are recorded as other income or expense (Note 5).

On May 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase agreement that included a warrant to purchase 97,222,200 CDIs (representing 1,944,444 shares of common stock). The exercise price is US$0.018 per CDI and the warrantswarrant can be exercised with cash or as a net exercise. The warrants arewarrant is immediately exercisable on issuance and expireexpires on May 30, 2023.

On March 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase agreement that included a form of warrant to purchase 78,984,823 CDIs (representing 1,579,696 shares of common stock). The issuance of the warrant requires shareholder approval, which will be sought in a vote of the stockholders of the Company during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders anticipated to be held in May or June 2019. If issued, the warrant’s exercise price is US$0.0127 per CDI, and the warrant can be exercised with cash or as a net exercise. The warrant is immediately exercisable on issuance and will expire (if issued) on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

On May 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase agreement that included a form of warrant to purchase 236,220,472 CDIs (representing 4,724,409 shares of common stock), or a lesser number of CDIs proportion to the amount finally funded under the simultaneously issued $3 million note. The issuance of the warrant requires shareholder approval, which will be sought in a vote of the stockholders of the Company during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders anticipated to be held in May or June 2019. If issued, the warrant’s exercise price is US$0.0127 per CDI, and the warrant can be exercised with cash or as a net exercise. The warrant is immediately exercisable on issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Full Funding Date (as defined in Note 1 to these Consolidated Financial Statements).

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The tables below present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company used to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points in which there is little or no market data, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions for the asset or liability.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities the Company has measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

7. Inventory

The Company states inventory at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or net realizable value. The Company records a provision for excess, expired, and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimates of forecasted revenues. When capitalizing inventory, the Company considers factors such as status of regulatory approval, alternative use of inventory, and anticipated commercial use of the product.

TheA significant change in the timing or level of demand for products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired, and obsolete inventory in the future. Currently, the determination of obsolete or excess inventory requires the Company to estimate the futureregulatory approval probability and timing and subsequent demand for its products within appropriate time horizons.approved markets. The estimated future demand is compared

The demand forecast includesGiven the Company’s estimatesprobability and timing of market growthregulatory approval and various internal estimates and is based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage its underlying business and short-term manufacturing plans. Forecasting demand for EndoBarrier in a market in which there are few, if any, comparable approved devices and for which reimbursement from third-party payers is limited is challenging. To the extent the Company’s demand forecast is less than itsappropriate inventory on-hand, the Company could be required to record additional reserves for excess, expired or obsoletelife span, we fully reserved our inventory in the future.

10. Related Party Convertible Notes Payable

2017 Convertible Note Financing

On June 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement by and between the Company, as borrower, and Crystal Amber Fund Limited, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold to the Purchaser a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in an aggregate original principal amount of $5.0 million (the “2017 Note”). The Purchaser is a related party for ASX purposes and is the Company’s largest shareholder.

The 2017 Note accrues interest at a rate equal to 5% per annum, compounded annually, other than during the continuance of an event of default, when the 2017 Note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest thereon iswas initially due on the original maturity date, December 31, 2018. 2018 but was extended to March 31, 2019 in December 2018 and further extended to May 1, 2019 in March 2019 and July 1, 2019 in April 2019.

The 2017 Note is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all personal propertytangible and intangible assets of the Company, including intellectual property.property (the “Collateral”). In the event of an uncured default, the Purchaser is authorized to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the Collateral or the proceeds thereof or any related goods securing the Collateral, as fully and effectually as if the Purchaser were the absolute owner thereof.

The ASX provided the Company with a waiver to allow all asset liens (the “Security”) to be granted to the Purchaser without the normal requirement of having to obtain shareholder approval for the grant of a security to a related party of the Company (which the Purchaser is for ASX purposes). As a result of the waiver, the Security contains a provision that provides that if an event of default occurs and the Purchaser exercises its rights under the Security, neither the Purchaser nor any of its associates can acquire any legal or beneficial interest in an asset of the Company or its subsidiaries in full or partial satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Security, or otherwise deal with the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, without the Company first having complied with any applicable ASX Listing Rules, including ASX Listing Rule 10.1, other than as required by law or through a receiver, or receiver or manager (or analogous person) appointed by the Purchaser exercising its power of sale under the Security and selling the assets to an unrelated third party on arm’s length commercial terms and conditions and distributing the cash proceeds to the Purchaser or any of its associates in accordance with their legal entitlements.

Table of Contents

The entire outstanding principal balance under the 2017 Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon is convertible into CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), each representing 1/50th of a share of the Company’s common stock, (i) prior to the maturity date, at the option of the Purchaser at a conversion price calculated based on the five-day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s CDIs on the ASX (“Optional Conversion Price”), or (ii) automatically upon the occurrence of an equity financing in which the Company raises at least $10 million (a “Qualified Financing”) at the price per CDI of the CDIs issued and sold in such financing.

In the event that the Borrower issues additional CDIs in a subsequent equity financing at a price per CDI that is less than the then-effective optional conversion price (based on the five-day volume weighted average price on the ASX), the Purchaser has a 30-day option to convert at an adjusted conversion price reflecting, on a weighted average basis, the lower price per CDI. The number of CDIs that the Purchaser may acquire upon conversion of the 2017 Note at this adjusted conversion price is limited to the number that maintains the Purchaser’s fully-diluted ownership percentage of the Company at the same level as existed immediately preceding the applicable subsequent equity financing.

In addition, upon a change of control of the Company (other than a change of control resulting from a Qualified Financing) in which the Company’s stockholders receive cash consideration, the Company is obligated to prepay all accrued and unpaid interest plus 110% of the remaining outstanding unconverted principal balance. If the consideration received for such change of control is a non-cash consideration, the Purchaser may convert the entire outstanding principal balance under the 2017 Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon into CDIs at the abovementioned Optional Conversion Price. Other than as described above, the Company may not prepay the 2017 Note without the consent of the Purchaser.

The 2017 Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default including a failure to perform obligations under the 2017 Note Purchase Agreement, bankruptcy, a decision by the board of directors of the Company to wind up the Company, or if the Company otherwise ceases to carry on its ongoing business operations. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the 2017 Note may be accelerated. The 2017 Note Purchase Agreement and related 2017 Note documents also contain additional representations and warranties, covenants and conditions, in each case customary for transactions of this type.

The Company recorded the $5 million 2017 Note, net of debt issuance costs of $115 thousand and will amortizeamortized the debt issuance costs over the life of the 2017 Note. For the three and nine monthsyear ended September 30, 2018,December 31, 2017, the Company recognizedaccrued $136 thousand of interest expense of $67and $44 thousand and $191 thousand andin amortization of debt issuance costs of $19 thousand and $56 thousand, respectively, related to the 2017 Note. For comparative purposes, an adjustment was made to separate the short-term debt balance and the 2017 Note derivative liability related to the value of certain conversion rights. Additionally, for comparative purposes, the 2017 interest accrual was shown separately from the change in accrued expenses in the Statement of Cash Flows in order to conform to 2018 presentation.

Table of Contents

Due to the timing of the finalization of the 2017 Note financing in 2017, the 2017 Note was issued without stockholder approval. As a consequence, while the 2017 Note contains conversion provisions, the Purchaser had, for a period of time, no right to exercise those rights until such rights of exercise were approved by the stockholders of the Company. Stockholder approval of the Purchaser’s right to convert the 2017 Note was obtained at the Company’s Annual Meeting on May 24, 2018. As of

In December 2018, the maturity date of this report, the 2017 Note has not been converted bywas extended to March 31, 2019 in exchange for payment of $394 thousand which was the Purchaser.   total accrued interest on the 2017 Note at December 31, 2018. Payment of this amount was made in January 2019. The modification extended the conversion rights and resulted in an additional $40 thousand of debt discount liability being recorded.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company accrued $62 thousand of interest expense and recorded an additional $40 thousand of interest expense related to the amortized derivative liability recorded for the 2017 Note. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company accrued interest expense of $62 thousand and amortization of debt issuance costs of $18 thousand related to the 2017 Note.

In March 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to May 1, 2019. The modification extended the beneficial conversion rights and resulted in an additional $14 thousand of debt discount liability being recorded. In April 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was further extended to July 1, 2019.  

2018 Convertible Note and Warrant Financing

On May 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement by and between the Company, as borrower, and Crystal Amber Fund Limited, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold to the Purchaser a Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note in an aggregate original principal amount of $1.75 million (the “2018 Note”). The Purchaser is a related party and is the Company’s largest shareholder.

The 2018 Note accrues interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum, compounded annually, other than during the continuance of an event of default, when the 2018 Note accrues interest at a rate of 16% per annum. The entire outstanding principal balance and all unpaid accrued interest thereon is due on the maturity date, May 30, 2023.

The entire outstanding principal balance under the 2018 Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon is convertible into CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), each representing 1/50th of a share of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the Purchaser at a conversion price of $0.018US$0.018 per CDI. In the event that the Borrower issues additional CDIs in a subsequent equity financing at a price per CDI that is less than $0.018US$0.018, the conversion price of the 2018 Note will adjust to the lower CDI conversion price. In addition, upon a change of control of the Company, the Purchaser may demand prepayment of accrued and unpaid interest plus 110% of the remaining outstanding unconverted principal balance of the 2018 Note.

The 2018 Note contains customary events of default including a failure to perform obligations under the 2018 Note Purchase Agreement, bankruptcy, a decision by the board of directors of the Company to wind up the Company, or if the Company otherwise ceases to carry on its ongoing

business operations. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the 2018 Note may be accelerated. The 2018 Note Purchase Agreement and related 2018 Note documents also contain additional representations and warranties, covenants and conditions, in each case customary for transactions of this type.

In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Note, the Company also issued to the Purchaser a warrant to purchase 97,222,200 CDIs at an initial exercise price of $0.018US$0.018 per CDI, subject to adjustment as described in the warrant, which warrant expires on May 30, 2023 (the “2018 Warrant”). The 2018 Warrant may be exercised at any time on a cash or cashless basis. The 2018 Warrant includes a price protection clause. If the Company issues securities in a subsequent financing at a per CDI price of less than $0.018,US$0.018, the exercise price of the 2018 Warrant will be reduced to the lowest such price per CDI (or the equivalent for shares of common stock) at which the newly issued securities were sold.

The Company has evaluated the guidance ASC 480-10 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity and ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options to determine the appropriate classification of the 2018 Note and 2018 Warrant. The 2018 Warrant was determined to be a freestanding instrument meeting the requirements for equity classification. Accordingly, the relative fair value estimated for the 2018 Warrant, totaling approximately $743 thousand, has been recorded as a discount to the debt with the offset to additional paid inpaid-in capital. The 2018 Note was also evaluated for beneficial conversion feature ("BCF") subsequent to the allocation of proceeds among the 2018 Note and 2018 Warrant. Based upon the effective conversion price of the 2018 Note after considering the stock price at the date of issuance and the allocation of estimated fair value to the 2018 Warrant, it was determined that the 2018 Note contained a BCF. The value of the BCF was computed to be approximately $1.2 million but has been capped at approximately $1.0 million so as to not exceed the total proceeds from the 2018 Note after deducting the value allocated to the 2018 Note and 2018 Warrant. The effective interest rate on the note after the discounts is 26.4%, respectively..

The Company recorded the 2018 Note, net of the total debt discount of $1.75 million and will amortize the debt discount over the life of the 2018 Note. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company recognized interest expense of $44 thousand and $58debt discount amortization of $72 thousand.

The stock options granted under the Plans generally vest over a four-year period and expire ten years from the date of grant. From time to time, the Company grants stock options to purchase common stock subject to performance-based milestones. The vesting of these stock options will occur upon the achievement of certain milestones. When achievement of the milestone is deemed probable, the Company expenses the compensation of the respective stock option over the implicit service period.

In calculating stock-based compensation costs, the Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived, exchange-traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Such costs are then recognized over the requisite service period of the awards on a straight-line basis.

Determining the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the award and expected stock price volatility. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017:2018:

Table of Contents

The stock-based compensation plans provide that grantees may have the right to exercise an option prior to vesting. Shares purchased upon the exercise of unvested options will be subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying options and are subject to repurchase at the original exercise price by the Company should the grantee discontinue providing services to the Company for any reason, prior to becoming fully vested in such shares.

Restricted Stock Units & Performance Stock Units

Each restricted stock unit and performance stock unit (“RSU & PSU”) issued under the Company Plans represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. The RSUs & PSUs outstanding at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 vest upon the achievement of certain product revenue, regulatory and reimbursement milestones. There is no consideration payable on the vesting of RSUs & PSUs issued. Upon vesting, RSUs and PSUs are exercised automatically and settled in shares of the Company’s common stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Information

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 20172018 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference, our actual results may differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward- looking statements described in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

We are a clinical-stageclinical stage medical device company headquarteredlocated in Boston, Massachusetts, which is dedicated to restoring health and improving quality of life through the design and application ofMassachusetts.  We have developed EndoBarrier, a medical device and disease management solutionsintended for treatment of metabolic disease.

Our vision is to make our product, EndoBarrier ®, the essential nonpharmacological and non-anatomy-altering treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. We intendobesity, and we are taking the steps necessary to achieve this vision by providing a safe and effective device, focusing on optimal patient care, supporting treating clinicians, adding toobtain the extensive body of clinical evidence around EndoBarrier, gaining appropriate regulatory approvals continuingrequired to improve our products and systems, operating the companymarket this product.  In order to market EndoBarrier in a lean fashion, and maximizing shareholder value.

In the U.S., we commencedmust obtain approval from the FDA.  In order to market EndoBarrier outside of the U.S., we are required to comply with various regulations imposed by the countries in which we seek to sell the product.

In 2010, EndoBarrier received CE Marking for sale in the European Union and in 2011, EndoBarrier was listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.  As a result, during 2013 and 2014, we received approximately $2.8 million and $2.25 million in revenue from the sale of EndoBarrier in Europe, South America and the Asia Pacific region.  In the U.S. in 2013, we began enrollment of patients in ourthe initial pivotal trial of EndoBarrier, which we refer to as the ENDO Trial, in 2013. Trial.  

In the third quarter of 2015, we announced our decision to stop the ENDO Trial. On August 21, 2015, we announced that we were reducing headcount by approximately 46% as part of our efforts to restructure our business and expenses in response to stoppingdiscontinue the ENDO Trial and to ensure sufficient cash remained available for us to establish new priorities, continue market development and research, and to evaluate strategic options.

As partbecause patients were experiencing a higher than previously observed level of our reorganization efforts inhepatic (liver) abscesses.  In the thirdfourth quarter of 2015, we decided to focus sales activity on a limited number of countries while disengaging from others. As a result, we focused on the commercialization of EndoBarrier in selected countries in Europe and the Middle East.

On May 10, 2016, we announced that we were further reducing headcount by approximately 30% as part of our previously announced efforts to restructure our expenses in order to extend our cash runway.

On September 14, 2016, we announced that we received formal notification from the TGATherapeutic Goods Administration of the Australian government of the cancellation of the EndoBarrier device’sEndoBarrier’s inclusion on the ARTG, taking effect on October 12, 2016. As a result, with effectAustralian Register of Therapeutic Goods.  In the fourth quarter of 2017 we received formal notification of CE mark withdrawal from October 12, 2016, we are not permitted to supply the EndoBarrier device in Australia, outside of approved trials.

In May 2017, the Company received notification from itsour notified body SGS United Kingdom Limited (“SGS”), thatin Europe, preventing the CE Mark for EndoBarrier had been suspended pending closure of non-conformances related to its quality management system required under International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) regulations.

On November 10, 2017, the Company received notification that SGS was withdrawing the Certificate of Conformance for EndoBarrier, ending the CE Markingsale of EndoBarrier in Europe and select Middle EastEastern countries.  We undertook comprehensive cost-cutting measures throughout 2015 and 2016, including significantly reducing the number of our employees.

Following our decision to discontinue the ENDO Trial, we undertook significant investigational and scientific analysis with the goal of reducing the incidence rate and severity of hepatic abscess that present concurrently with the EndoBarrier treatment. This investigational work focused on understanding the root cause of hepatic abscess and how to reduce the rate of occurrence.  This included: DNA analysis of normal EndoBarrier removals as well as hepatic abscess EndoBarrier removals, numerous meta-analyses and responder cohort analyses, investigation into the contributing factors represented by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), leaky gut syndrome and microbiome analyses, among other research.  This allowed the company to modify the medications utilized with EndoBarrier, most notably discontinuation of chronic double-dose PPI usage during EndoBarrier implant.

In December 2017, the Company received notification from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) that all EndoBarrier delivery systems (Liners) in customers’ inventory need to be returnedJuly 2018, we submitted to the Company.

In August 2018, the Company received approval ofFDA an application for investigational device exemption, from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)or IDE, to begin enrollment incommence a new pivotal trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of EndoBarrier in the United States pending Institutional Review Board, (IRD)or IRB, approval. In August 2018, we received approval of an IDE from the FDA to begin enrollment in this pivotal trial, and IRB approval was granted in February 2019.  In this report, we refer to this pivotal trial as the GID 18-1 clinical trial.

For financial reporting purposes, we have one reportable segment, which designs, manufactures and markets a medical device for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.plans to market EndoBarrier.

To date, we have devoted substantially all our efforts to research and development, business planning, clinical research, clinical study management, reimbursement development, product commercialization, acquiring operating assets and raising capital. We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception in 2003. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $265$270 million. We expect to incur net losses for the next several years while we continue to evaluate which markets are appropriate to continue pursuing regulatory approval, reimbursement, market awareness and general market development efforts, and continue to restructure our business and costs, establish new priorities, continue limited research, and evaluate strategic options. In January and March 2018, the Company raised approximately $1.6 million in an offering of our CDIs to sophisticated and professional investors, including certain existing investors, in

To date, the Company has raised net proceeds of approximately $246$270 million through the issuance of convertible debt and sales of our equity. On June 15, 2017, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible PromissorySee Note (“2017 Note”) to a single note holder, Crystal Amber Fund Limited, who is our largest shareholder and a related party, for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. On May 30, 2018, the Company entered into a $1.75 million convertible note and warrant financing (“2018 Note Financing”) with Crystal Amber Fund Limited.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation including reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, research and development expenses, contingencies, stock-based compensation, going concern considerations, and warrantderivative valuations are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on our historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

On January 1, 2018, See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation — New Accounting Pronouncements) for a detailed discussion of new accounting pronouncements, their adoption by the Company, adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 had no materialand their impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

On April 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The Company has concluded that the retroactive provisions of ASU 2017-11 had no impact(if any) on the accounting for the Company’s previously outstanding warrant which had been issued to the warrant holder as stock compensation.  financial statements.

ASU 2017-11 changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. ASU 2017-11 also clarifies existing disclosure requirements for equity- classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options”), including related EPS guidance (ASC 260). Part II of ASU 2017-11 recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of ASC 480 that now are presented as pending content in the ASC, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

Table of Contents

Prior to the early adoption of ASU 2017-11, an equity-linked financial instrument with a down round feature that otherwise is not required to be classified as a liability under the guidance in ASC 480 is evaluated under the guidance in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” to determine whether it meets the definition of a derivative. If it meets that definition, the instrument (or embedded feature) is evaluated to determine whether it is indexed to an entity’s own stock as part of the analysis of whether it qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. Generally, for warrants and conversion options embedded in financial instruments that are deemed to have a debt host (assuming the underlying shares are readily convertible to cash or the contract provides for net settlement such that the embedded conversion option meets the definition of a derivative), the existence of a down round feature results in an instrument not being considered indexed to an entity’s own stock. This results in a reporting entity being required to classify the freestanding financial instrument or the bifurcated conversion option as a liability, which the entity must measure at fair value initially and at each subsequent reporting date.

ASU 2017-11 revises the guidance for instruments with down round features in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity,” which is considered in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. An entity still is required to determine whether instruments would be classified in equity under the guidance in ASC 815-40 in determining whether they qualify for that scope exception. If they do qualify, freestanding instruments with down round features are no longer classified as liabilities and embedded conversion options with down round features are no longer bifurcated.

For entities that present EPS in accordance with ASC 260, and when the down round feature is included in an equity-classified freestanding financial instrument, the value of the effect of the down round feature is treated as a dividend when it is triggered and as a numerator adjustment in the basic EPS calculation. This reflects the occurrence of an economic transfer of value to the holder of the instrument, while alleviating the complexity and income statement volatility associated with fair value measurement on an ongoing basis. Convertible instruments are unaffected by ASU 2017-11.

Part I of ASU 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. ASU 2017-11 Part 1 should be applied retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs ASC 250-10-45-5 through 45-10.

The Company has determined that there were no previously outstanding financial instruments that fall under the scope of ASU 2017-11. Therefore, the Company has not determined and has not recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet.

ASU 2017-11 Part II does not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

The Company considered the impact of Part 1 of ASU 2017-11 and determined the Company had no financial instruments previously carried as derivative liabilities that were deemed to be such on the basis of embedded features containing down round provisions, resulting in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. As a result, upon the early adoption provisions of ASU 2017-11, the Company did not record any adjustment to its books to account for any transition accounting issues.

In the near-term, we intend to focus our efforts on clinical activities continuing to support efforts in collecting additional clinical evidence via the numerous ongoing investigator-initiated studies around the world, many of which are randomized controlled trials. The Company received its investigational device exemption from the FDA in August 2018 and expects to complete enrollment of Stage I of the study during the first half of 2019.

Cost of Revenue. The decrease in cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the suspension of CE Mark in May 2017 and subsequent notification from SGS on November 10, 2017 that SGS was withdrawing the Certificate of Conformance for EndoBarrier, ending the CE Marking of EndoBarrier in Europe and select Middle East countries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred losses since our inception in March 2003 and as of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $265$270 million. We have financed our operations from a combination of sales of equity securities and issuances of convertible term notes. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had approximately $3.1$1.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.

In JanuaryJune 2017, we raised approximately $0.2 million, net of expenses, in an offering of our CDIs to eligible shareholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand. On June 15, 2017, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement by and between the Company as borrower, andcompleted a Convertible Term Promissory Note (the “2017 Note”) secured financing with its largest shareholder, Crystal Amber Fund Limited as purchaser (the “Purchaser”(“Crystal Amber”).

In March 2019, the Company completed a Convertible Term Promissory Note (the “March 2019 Note”) and Warrant (the “March 2019 Warrant”) financing with its largest shareholder, Crystal Amber, for a gross amount of $1.0 million. The March 2019 Note accrues interest at 10% per annum compounded annually. Certain specific terms associated with the conversion of the March 2019 Note and issuance of the March 2019 Warrant require shareholder approval, which will be sought in a vote of the stockholders of the Company during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders anticipated to be held in May or June 2019. The March 2019 Note matures on March 15, 2024 and the March 2019 Warrant, if issued, will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.

In May 2019, the Company completed a Convertible Term Promissory Note (the “May 2019 Note”) and Warrant (the “May 2019 Warrant”) financing with its largest shareholder, Crystal Amber, for a gross amount of up to $3.0 million. The May 2019 Note accrues interest at 10% per annum, computed daily until the date upon which full funding under the May 2019 Note is anticipated to be received, regardless of whether full funding is made on such date (the “Full Funding Date”) and compounded annually beginning on the Full Funding Date. The $3.0 million payment will be made in several tranches. Certain specific terms associated with the conversion of the May 2019 Note and issuance of the May 2019 Warrant require shareholder approval, which will be sought in a vote of the stockholders of the Company during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders anticipated to be held in May or June 2019. The May 2019 Note matures and the May 2019 Warrant, if issued, will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Full Funding Date. Crystal Amber is deemed a Related Party of the Company for ASX purposes due to the size of its ownership position.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

The primary uses of cash used in operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 were:

to fund our net loss of approximately $5.6$2.4 million and;

a net negative adjustment to cash flow from changes in working capital of approximately $0.1$1.2 million resulting primarily from a decreasedecreases in accounts payable offset by an increase inand accrued expenses.

The primary uses of cash used in operating activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 were:

to fund our net loss of approximately $8.3$1.8 million and;

a net positive adjustment to cash flow from changes in working capital23

a net negative adjustment to cash flow from changes in working capital of approximately $0.2 million resulting primarily from decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $5 thousand. No cash was used in investing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled approximately $5 thousand and resulted from the purchase from equipment.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 totaled approximately $5.3 million$950 thousand and primarily resulted from proceeds received in May 2018March 2019 from the 2018March 2019 Note payable to a related partyparty.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled approximately $1.5 million and primarily resulted from net proceeds from our private placement of CDIs offset by related issuance costs.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is due to the net proceeds from the approximately $5 million 2017 Note the Company issued in June 2017 and to a lesser extent, issuance of common stock in January 2017 offset by payments on our short-term 2017 Note payable to a related party.  

Funding Requirements

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our primary source of liquidity was our cash and cash equivalents balances of approximately $3.1$1.3 million. We have subsequently begun to receive proceeds of approximately $3 million under the May 2019 Note.  

As a result of our focus on a new pivotal clinical trial in the United States, and due to the lack of regulatory approval in the EU and other jurisdictions, we are focused on the generation of clinical data and regulatory approvals and are not currently focused on revenue-generating operations. As a result, we expect to incur significant operating losses for the next several years. We do not expect our current cash balances will be sufficient to enable us to conduct an additional clinical trial in the U.S. for the purpose of seeking regulatory approval from the FDA. The Company continues to restructure our costs and believes that ourdoes not expect its current cash and cash equivalentsbalances will not be sufficient to fund our operationsoperate beyond the fourth quarterend of 2018, as the 2017 Note is currently payable on December 31, 2018. Both parties are aware thatAugust 2019, or beyond July 1, 2019 if the Company is required to make this payment to Crystal Amber under the 2017 Note on the due date of December 31, 2018, itJuly 1, 2019. If the 2017 Note reaches maturity, the Company will be required either to renegotiate the due date of the loan or to potentially cease operations. Crystal Amber and the Company are planningin discussion to discuss an extension offurther extend the due date of the 2017 Note, but there can be no assurance that any extension will occur. If the Company is able to amend the terms of the 2017 Note, it believes its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operations intoto the earlierend of the second quarter ofAugust 2019, or until the modified due date of the note. The Company will need to raise additional funds through any combination of collaborative arrangements, strategic alliances, and additional equity and debt financings or from other sources. 

Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference

herein. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

Due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with securing regulatory approval for EndoBarrier, at this time we are unable to estimate precisely the amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the task of obtaining regulatory approval for EndoBarrier. Our funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

the rate of enrollment of patients in our clinical trial and the completion of our trial in a timely fashion;

the rate of progress and cost of our commercialization activities;

the expenses we may incur in marketing and selling EndoBarrier subject to future regulatory approvals;

the timing and decisions of payer organizations related to reimbursement;

the revenue generated by sales of EndoBarrier;

the product performance from a safety and efficacy standpoint in addressing diabetes and obesity;

the success of our investment in our manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure;

the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for EndoBarrier in new markets;

the success of our research and development efforts;

the costs associated with any additional clinical trial(s) required in the U.S. and other countries on a case by case basis;

the ability to ship CE marked products;

the emergence of competing or complementary developments; and

the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights.

Table of Contents

We will continue to manage our capital structure and to consider all financing opportunities, whenever they may occur, that could strengthen our long-term liquidity profile. Any such capital transactions may or may not be similar to transactions in which we have engaged in the past and the ownership interests of our existing stockholders may be materially diluted. There can be no assurance that any such financing opportunities will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, the Company could be required to cease operations if it is unable to raise capital when needed.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships. We enter into guarantees in the ordinary course of business related to the guarantee of our own performance and the performance of our subsidiaries.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The disclosure of our contractual obligations and commitments is set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations and Commitments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

There have been no material changes from the contractual commitments and obligations previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements please refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We conduct business in foreign countries and our cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in currency exchange and interest rates.

29


Table of Contents

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.1$1.3 million at September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, consisted of cash and money market funds, all of which will be used for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. The goals of our investment policy are preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and fiduciary control of cash and investments. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates in the U.S. and Australia. Because of the short-term nature of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to changes in their fair values as a result of changes in interest rates. The continuation of historically low interest rates in the U.S. will limit our earnings on investments held in U.S. dollars.

Foreign Currency Risk

We conduct business in foreign countries. For U.S. reporting purposes, we translate all assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. entities at the period-end exchange rate and revenue and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the periods. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a component of net loss.

Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies, including the euro, British Pound and Australian dollar, can result in foreign currency exchange gains and losses that may significantly impact our financial results. These foreign currency transaction and translation gains and losses are presented as a separate line item in our consolidated statements of operations. Continued fluctuation of these exchange rates could result in financial results that are not comparable from quarter to quarter. We do not currently utilize foreign currency contracts to mitigate the gains and losses generated by the re- measurement of non- functional currency assets and liabilities but do hold cash reserves in currencies in which those reserves are anticipated to be expended.

All proceeds from our 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2016 offerings, along with a portion of our 2017 and 2018 offerings, were denominated in Australian dollars and as of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we held the equivalent of approximately US $24$22 thousand denominated in Australian dollars and approximately US $109$1 thousand denominated in euros. Accordingly, we have had and will continue to have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A change of 10% or more in foreign currency exchange rates of the Australian dollar or the euro would not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation and changing prices over the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 had a significant impact on our results of operations.

Item 4. ControlControlss and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and such information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that, based on and as of the time of such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. This conclusion was based on the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting further described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. In connection with the preparation of our interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

Failure to review transactions before posting to general ledger; and

Lack of effective controls to adequately restrict access and segregate duties. Specifically, due to the limited number of staff in our accounting function;

o

Reconciliations, trial balances, and financial statements are prepared and reviewed by the principal financial and accounting officer.

o

The principal financial and accounting officer has administrative rights to the financial reporting system.

30


Table of Contents

o

The principal financial and accounting officer is able to generate, print and sign checks up to a certain threshold, record the payments, and reconcile the main bank account.

Lack of requisite accounting knowledge and inadequate written policies and procedures surrounding complex debt and equity arrangements with respect to both GAAP and the guidelines of the SEC.

Upon identifying these material weaknesses, we performed additional procedures to evaluate the impact on the financial statements. Based on these procedures, we believe the material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements to our financial statements and we believe the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. In September 2018, the Company hired a part-time consultant who is a seasoned medical technology CFO to advise the CEO and finance team. We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.

Additionally, in the three months ended September 30, 2018, we identified the following material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting: our internal controls failed to prevent or timely detect unauthorized cash disbursements made from August 2016 through May 2018. Specifically, due to (i) a lack of controls within our bank portal to prevent manual edits to wire payment templates and (ii) ineffective reporting of payables to detect duplicate payments, these controls were not adequate to safeguard our cash assets from duplicate payments being diverted by a former employee to a personal account. The material weakness in our controls resulted in the inability to prevent and timely detect the fraud loss. The Company performed additional procedures to evaluate the impact on its financial statements. Based on these procedures, the Company believes that the material weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 through September 30, 2018. The Company has investigated these incidents and expects that the amount of the loss will be covered by our insurance. We have begun implementing the following to remediate this material weakness:

Elimination of non-template electronic payment initiation, editing by initiator, and initiation of two-party review of new recipient entries, including bank information;

Management reporting reformatting to highlight invoice and payment duplications and unusual payables, including recent activity reporting by vendor; and,

increase internal communications to improve security awareness and to emphasize the importance of exercising professional skepticism.

Changes in Internal Control

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to determine whetherand concluded that there have not been any changes occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that changes in internal control outlined above could materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Thus, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls.

PART II – OTHEOTHER R INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors:

In addition to the other information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could also materially and adversely affect any of our business, financial condition or future results. The trading price of our CDIs may decline due to these risks.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities:

On May 30, 2018, the Company entered into a convertible note and warrant financing with its major shareholder, Crystal Amber Fund Limited (“Crystal Amber”), in which the Company issued to Crystal Amber a Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1.75 million (the “2018 Note”). In connection with the issuance of the 2018 Note, the Company also issued to Crystal Amber a warrant to purchase 97,222,200 CDIs at an initial exercise price of $0.018 per CDI, subject to adjustment as described in the warrant, which warrant expires on May 30, 2023 (the “2018 Warrant”). The 2018 Warrant may be exercised at any time on a cash or cashless basis. If the Company issues securities in a subsequent financing at a per CDI price of less than $0.018, the exercise price of the 2018 Warrant will be reduced to the lowest such price per CDI (or the equivalent for shares of common stock) at which the newly issued securities were sold. The 2018 Warrant was issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In September 2018, the Company received commitments for a private placement of 347,222,250 fully paid CDIs of the Company (representing 6,944,445 shares of common stock) at an issue price of A$0.020 per CDI to sophisticated and professional investors, including certain existing investors in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom consisting of U.S. and non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S (“Regulation S”) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)). The issue of these CDIs under this placement occurred in two tranches. The first tranche closed on September 20, 2018 (US EST)Eastern time), pursuant to which the Company issued 150,000,000 CDIs (representing 3,000,000 shares of common stock) resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $2.2 million.  The closing of the second tranche resulted in the raising of $2.8 million by the issue of 197,222,250 CDIs (representing 3,944,445 shares of common stock) following stockholder approval at the adjourned Special Meeting of stockholders on October 29, 2018. There were three participants in the second tranche; Crystal Amber, Fund, a related party, purchased 168,194,450 CDIs. All second tranche CDIs are expected to bewere allotted to investors in November 2018. Existing investors in the United States and Australia also purchased 23,819,450 and 5,208,350 CDIs, respectively. The securities sold in this private placement were issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act with respect to purchasers who are U.S.-persons and Regulation S with respect to purchasers who are non-U.S. purchasers.

On March 15, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible note and warrant financing with Crystal Amber, in which the Company issued to Crystal Amber a Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1 million (the “March 2019 Note”). In connection with the issuance of the March 2019 Note, the Company also agreed to issue to Crystal Amber a warrant to purchase 78,984,823 CDIs at an initial exercise price of $0.0127 per CDI, subject to adjustment as described in the warrant, which warrant will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance (the “March 2019 Warrant”). Upon issuance, the March 2019 Warrant may be exercised at any time on a cash or cashless basis. If the Company issues securities in a subsequent financing at a per CDI price of less than $0.0127, the exercise price of the March 2019 Warrant will be reduced to the lowest such price per CDI (or the equivalent for shares of common stock) at which the newly issued securities were sold. The March 2019 Warrant, if and when issued, is expected to be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
