Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Nature of Business

GI Dynamics® is a clinical stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of EndoBarrier, a medical device intended for treatment ofto treat patients with type 2 diabetes and to reduce 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. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), peoplePeople with type 2 diabetes represent 90%90-95% of the worldwide diabetes population, whereas 10%population; only 5-10% of this population is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (a form of diabetes mellitus in which not enoughwherein little to no insulin is produced).

Being overweight is a condition where the patient’s body mass index (BMI)BMI is greater than 25 (kg/m2); obesity is a condition where the patient’s BMI is greater than 30, according to the CDC.30. 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 to reduce obesity in a minimally invasive and reversible manner.

The current treatment paradigm for type 2 diabetes is lifestyle therapy combined with pharmacological treatment, whereby treating clinicians prescribe a treatment regimen of one 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 may contribute to weight gain, which in turn may lead to higher levels of insulin resistance and increased levels of blood sugar. Fewer than 50% of patients treated pharmacologically for type 2 diabetes are adequately managed, meaning that medication does not lower blood sugar adequately and does not halt the progressive nature of diabetes of these patients.

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

Our

The GI Dynamics vision is to make EndoBarrierthe essential nonpharmacological and non-anatomy-altering treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity. We intenddiabetes. The Company intends to achieve this vision by providing a safe and effective device, focusing on optimal patient care, supporting treating clinicians, adding to the extensive body of clinical evidence around EndoBarrier, gaining appropriate regulatory approvals, continuing to improve ourits products and systems, operating the companyCompany in a lean fashion, and maximizing stockholder value.

EndoBarrier®is intended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and to reduce 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 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”). The Company announced its decision to stop the ENDO Trial in the second half of fiscal year 2015 and thereafter announced that it was reducing headcount by approximately 46% as part of its efforts to restructure its business and expenses 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 evolve 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 the early exit from our former headquarters in Lexington, MA.

In October 2016, the Company received final cancellation notification from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (“TGA”) for the listing of EndoBarrier on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (“ARTG”).

In May 2017, the Company received notification from its notified body, SGS United Kingdom Limited (“SGS”), that 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 from SGS that SGS was withdrawing the Certificate of Conformance for EndoBarrier, ending the CE Marking of EndoBarrier in Europe and select Middle East countries.

In December 2017, the Company received notification from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) that all EndoBarrier delivery systems (liners) in inventory needed to be returned to the Company.

In August 2018, the Company received approval of an investigational device exemption (“IDE”) from the FDA to begin enrollment in a pivotal trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of EndoBarrier in the United States pending Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) approval, which was received in February 2019.

Financing History

From its inception in 2003 to its initial public offering (“IPO”) in 2011, the Company was financed by a series of preferred stock financings. In September 2011, the Company completed its IPO of common stock in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) in Australia. As a result of the IPO and simultaneous private placement in the U.S., the Company raised a total of approximately $72.5 million in proceeds, net of expenses and repayment of $6.0 million of the Company’s convertible term promissory notes. Additionally, in July and August 2013, the Company issued CDIs on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) through a private placement and share purchase plan, which raised a total of approximately $52.5 million, net of expenses. In May 2014, the Company raised an additional total of approximately $30.8 million, net of expenses, when it issued CDIs on the ASX through a private placement.

On December 20, 2016, the Company completed a private placement issue of 69,865,000 CDIs (1,397,300 shares) at an issue price of A$0.022 per CDI raising approximately $1.0 million, net of issuance costs. In January 2017, the Company completed the issue of 12,481,600 CDIs (249,632 shares) to eligible investors under a Security Purchase Plan for approximately $0.83 per share of common stock (A$0.022 per CDI) resulting in net proceeds after issuance costs of approximately $0.2 million.

In June 2017, the Company completed a Convertible Term Promissory Note (the “2017 Note”) secured financing with its largest stockholder Crystal Amber Fund Limited (“Crystal Amber”) for a gross amount of $5.0 million. The 2017 Note accrues interest at 5% per annum compounded annually. Crystal Amber is deemed a Related Party of the Company for ASX purposes due to the size of its ownership position. The 2017 Note was originally due on December 31, 2018 and contains provisions for conversion during its term and is also subject to security arrangements in favor Crystal Amber (See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the financing).

In January and March 2018, the Company raised approximately $1.6 million in an offering of its CDIs to sophisticated and professional investors, including certain existing investors in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.    

In May 2018, the Company completed a Convertible Term Promissory Note (the “2018 Note”) and Warrant (the “2018 Warrant”) financing with its largest stockholder Crystal Amber for a gross amount of $1.75 million. The 2018 Note accrued annually compounded interest at 10% per annum until its conversion into CDIs on June 30, 2019 (as described further below). The 2018 Warrant will expire on May 30, 2023. Crystal Amber is deemed a Related Party of the Company for ASX purposes due to the size of its ownership position. (See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the financing).

In September 2018, the Company received commitments for a private placement of approximately $5 million in an offering of its CDIs to sophisticated and professional investors, including certain existing investors in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. The first tranche of $2.2 million closed and cash was received in September 2018. The second and final tranche of $2.8 million was contingent upon stockholder approval, which was obtained in October 2018. Cash proceeds from the second tranche were received in November 2018.

In December 2018, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 in exchange for payment of $394 thousand, the total accrued interest on the 2017 Note at December 31, 2018.

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 stockholder, Crystal Amber, for a gross amount of $1.0 million. The March 2019 Note accrued annually compounded interest at 10% until its conversion into CDIs on June 30, 2019 (as described further below). Certain specific conversion terms related to the March 2019 Note and issuance of the March 2019 Warrant required stockholder approval, which was obtained during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 30, 2019 (at which stage the March 2019 Warrant was immediately issued). The March 2019 Warrant will expire on June 30, 2024. Crystal Amber is deemed a Related Party of the Company for ASX purposes due to the size of its ownership position (see Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the financing).

In March 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to May 1, 2019. In April 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to July 1, 2019. A further extension of the maturity date of the 2017 Note is described below.

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 stockholder, Crystal Amber, for a gross amount of up to $3.0 million. The May 2019 Note was funded in four tranches between

May 10, 2019 and June 28, 2019, during which period 10% per annum interest was accrued on daily outstanding principal balances. Upon funding completion on June 28, 2019, accrued interest began to compound annually at a rate of 10% per annum until its conversion into CDIs on June 30, 2019 (as described further below). Certain specific terms associated with the conversion of the May 2019 Note and issuance of the May 2019 Warrant required stockholder approval, which was obtained during the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 30, 2019 (at which stage the May 2019 Warrant was immediately issued). The May 2019 Warrant will expire on June 30, 2024. Crystal Amber is deemed a Related Party of the Company for ASX purposes due to the size of its ownership position (see Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the financing).

In June 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to October 1, 2019.

On June 30, 2019, Crystal Amber elected to convert the 2018 Note, the March 2019 Note and the May 2019 Note to CDIs. Under the terms of the respective notes, an aggregate of 453,609,963 CDIs (representing approximately 9,072,197 common shares) were subscribed but unissued on conversion and concurrent cancellation of the 2018 Note, the March 2019 Note and the May 2019 Note.

Going Concern Evaluation

As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and restricted cash equivalents balances. GI Dynamics is currently focused primarily on obtaining CE mark approval to allow commercialization in select markets and on conducting its clinical trials which will support future regulatory submissions and potential commercialization activities. Until the Company is successful in gaining regulatory approvals, including CE mark, it is unable to sell the Company’s product in any market at this time. Without revenues, GI Dynamics is reliant on funding obtained from investment in the Company to maintain business operations until the Company can generate positive cash flows from operations. The Company continuescannot predict the extent of future operating losses and accumulated deficit, and it may never generate sufficient revenues to evaluate which markets are appropriate to pursue regulatory approvals, pursue reimbursement, raise market awarenessachieve or sustain profitability.

GI Dynamics has incurred operating losses since inception and conduct general market developmentat June 30, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $290 million and selling efforts.a working capital deficit of approximately $3.8 million. 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. At June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $760 thousand in cash and restricted cash.

The Company has incurred operating losses

since inception and at June 30, 2019 hadcompleted an accumulated deficitinitial public offering on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on September 2, 2011. The Company’s Chess Depository Interests (“CDIs”), which represented 1/50th of approximately $279 million, a working capital deficitshare of approximately $3.8 million, cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.3 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million. Cash provided by these activities will be used predominantly to prepare for and conduct the Company’s clinical trial,Common Stock were publicly traded until July 22, 2020, when the Company completed all requirements and was removed from the Official List of the ASX (the “Delisting”, described more fully in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements). On Delisting, all CDIs were automatically converted to shares of Common Stock with any resulting fractional shares being redeemed by the Company for cash payment. Although the Company is not listed on any public exchange, the Company remains subject to all SEC reporting requirements.

Currently, the Company and Crystal Amber Fund Limited (“Crystal Amber”) have executed a non-binding term sheet for the sale of up to $10 million of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Proposed Offering”) which is expected to close in August or September 2020. Additionally, Crystal Amber has purchased the June 2020 Convertible Note and the August 2020 Convertible Note (together the “2020 Notes”, individually described in detail in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements) which is expected to fund operations until the anticipated Series A Preferred Stock offering initial close date (the “Initial Close”). On Initial Close, Crystal Amber will resultprovide $5 million, less the 2020 Notes principal balance and any legal fees incurred by Crystal Amber to be paid by the Company in increased expenses.connection with the Proposed Offering. Crystal Amber may sell a portion of the remaining $5 million in the Proposed Offering to additional investors and will purchase any shares of the Proposed Offering that remain unsubscribed by additional investors at October 31, 2020. The Company does not expect its currentexpects that the cash balancesreceived in the Proposed Offering will be sufficient to operate beyondfund the endCompany’s operations through the later of September 2019. The Company will need to raiseobtaining of CE mark approval or March 31, 2021, after which additional funds through any combination of collaborative arrangements, strategic alliances, and additional equity and debt financings or from other sources. 

Furthermore, if the Company raises insufficient funds and is required to make payment to Crystal Amber under the 2017 Note on its maturity date of October 1, 2019. the Companyfinancing will be required either to renegotiatecontinue the maturity date ofCompany’s operations. Further additional financing will be required to fund operations until the loan or to potentially cease operations. The Company expects to discuss further extension of the maturity date of the 2017 Note with Crystal Amber, but thereachieves sustainably positive cash flow. There can be no assurance that any extension will occur.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of June 30, 2019, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, are unaudited andnotes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicablehave been omitted pursuant to such 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.regulations.  These interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto containedincluded in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”),for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2019.27, 2020. The Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2018 consolidated balance sheet included herein was2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements as ofat that date but does not include all disclosures including notesthe information and footnotes 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 impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, research and development, contingencies, lease liabilities, valuation of derivative 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investments qualifying as cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds and have a carrying amount that approximates fair value. The amount of cash equivalents included in cash and cash equivalents was approximately $4 thousand at June 30, 2019 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2018.

The Company has $30 thousand in restricted cash used to secure a corporate credit card account.

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 will consider factors such as status of regulatory approval, alternative use of inventory, and anticipated commercial use of the product. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was no inventory or reserves against inventory on the balance 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 are capitalized as construction in progress and will be subsequently depreciated in accordance with the above guidelines once placed into service. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.

Lease Liabilities and Related Assets

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) on January 1, 2019, but had no long-term leases to which it would apply. In May 2019, the Company entered into the first Right of Use Lease requiring the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).  

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Leases with a non-cancellable term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as lease assets, short-term lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. Using criteria defined in ASC 842, the Company determines whether the lease is a Financing Lease or an Operating Lease.

Lease liabilities and their corresponding Right-of-Use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Options to renew an Operating lease are not included in the Company’s initial lease term assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the Company will renew. However, certain adjustments to the Right-of-Use operating asset may be required for items such as incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes an estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate it is expected to incur to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis (or on an unsecured basis if existing debt covenants prevent further securitization) over a similar term in a similar economic environment. 

In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease are split into lease components and non-lease components. A policy election is available pursuant to which an entity may elect to not separate lease and non-lease components. For new and amended leases beginning in 2019 and after, the Company has not made the election to combine lease and non-lease components.  

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 preapproval regulatory and clinical trial expenses incurred prior to regulatory approval.

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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no such costs had been capitalized. The Company expensed patent costs within general and administrative expenses of $54 and $41 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $95 and $80 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.    

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 718, Stock Compensation, or ASC 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, we 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, 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 issue performance-based awards. For these awards, vesting will occur upon the achievement of certain milestones. When achievement of the milestone is deemed probable, we expense the compensation of the stock 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.

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 inopinion, the consolidated financial statements by applying a more-likely-than-not thresholdincluded herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2020 and the results of our operations and cash flows 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 three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018, 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 value2019. Such adjustments are of these obligations is negligible. As a result, no related reservesnormal recurring nature. In addition, certain reclassifications of prior period balances have been established.made to conform to the current period presentation. 

Issuance Costs Related

Accounting policy relating to Equityauthorized share allocation to outstanding shares and Debtinstruments

The Company allocates issuance costs between

In determining 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 proceedssufficiency of the offering. Anynumber of shares of common stock authorized by shareholders for 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 debtall issued and outstanding shares of common stock as liabilities measured at amortized cost and amortizes the resulting debt discount to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected termwell as all shares 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 withincommon stock underlying any convertible debt under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”or exercisable instruments. In order to determine whether the embeddedsufficiency of authorized shares of common stock, the authorized shares are allotted first to the issued and outstanding shares, then sequentially to any additional relevant instruments in order of decreasing time to maturity or termination. Any instrument that does not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock to allow conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted foror exercise is reclassified, if needed, as a derivativeliability recorded at fair value with changesuntil sufficient shares of common stock are authorized, at which time the classification returns to the classification determined 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 ASC 470-20, an entity must separately account for the liability and equity componentsoriginal accounting analysis 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. 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. Therefore, we are required to record as non-cash interest expense the amortization of the discounted carrying value of the convertible debt to the 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.instrument.

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company values and records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount on issuance. 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. 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.

NewRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, 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 Extinguishments 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

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 August 2018, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, or ASU 2018-13, which provides guidance focused on the disclosure requirements for disclosing fair value estimates, assumptions, and methodology.

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 of Common Stock 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 are excluded, 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. For diluted net loss per share purposes, derivatives to purchase shares of common stock or CDIs are treated identically because shares of common stock and CDIs are interchangeable at the sole election of the stockholder. For diluted net loss per share purposes, options and warrants conferring the right to purchase shares of common stock or CDIs are excluded from diluted net loss per share calculations as inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. During the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, 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-averageweighted- average shares outstanding as of June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, as they would be anti-dilutive:

5. Fair Value of Assets and LiabilitiesMeasurements

The tables below present information

Information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value initially or on a recurring basis as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 is provided below and indicatesincludes 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

On March 31, 2020, the assetsclassification of the Consultant Warrant was re-evaluated, and liabilities the Company has measured at fair value onre-classified it as an equity instrument. On March 31, 2020, this reclassification resulted in a recurring basis (in thousands):credit to Other Income.

6. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Related Valuation AccountsAccount

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalentCash balances are maintained with high quality financial institutions, and consequently, while the balances may exceed federally insured limits, the Company believes that such funds are subject to minimal credit risk. The Company’s short-term investments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The CompanyGI Dynamics has adopted an investment policy that limits the amounts the Companyit may invest in any one type of investment and requires all investments held by the Companyinvestments to hold at least an A rating from a recognized credit rating agency, thereby reducing credit risk concentration.

When the Company had regulatory approval to sell EndoBarrier in select markets, the Company granted unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business. The Company made judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provided an allowance for receivables when collection became doubtful. Provisions were made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices and the overall quality and age of those invoices not individually reviewed.  Amounts determined to be uncollectible are written off against the total reserve. After regulatory approval for EndoBarrier was suspended, the Company deemed certain remaining accounts receivable uncollectible and recorded write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable of $42 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no accounts receivable and no reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable.

2017 Convertible Note Financing

On June 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“2017 NPA”) by and between the Company as borrower, and Crystal Amber, Fund Limited, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”).a Related Party. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement,2017 NPA, the Company issued and sold to the PurchaserCrystal Amber, 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 stockholder.

The 2017 Note accrues interest at aan annually compounded rate equal toof 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 was initially due on the original maturity date of December 31, 2018, butand, as announced on July 1, 2020, was most recently amended to extend the maturity date was extended multiple times as described below.to July 31, 2020.

The 2017 Note is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company, including intellectual property (the “Collateral”). In the event of an uncured default, the PurchaserCrystal Amber, 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 PurchaserCrystal Amber 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 PurchaserCrystal Amber, without the normalcustomary requirement of having to obtain stockholder approval for the grant of a security to a related partyRelated Party of the Company (which the Purchaser is for ASX purposes).Company. As a result of the waiver, the Security contains a provision that provides that if an event of default occurs and the PurchaserCrystal Amber exercises its rights under the Security, neither the PurchaserCrystal Amber 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, manager, or receiver or manager (or analogous person)person appointed by the PurchaserCrystal Amber 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 PurchaserCrystal Amber or any of its associates in accordance with their legal entitlements.

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,CDIs (i) prior to the maturity date, at the option of the PurchaserCrystal Amber at a conversion price calculated based on the five-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s CDIs traded 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

On July 13, 2020, Crystal Amber provided the event that the Borrower issues additional CDIs inCompany with a subsequent equity financing at a price per CDI that is less than the then-effective Optional Conversion Price, 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 numbernotice of CDIs that the Purchaser may acquire uponoptional conversion of the 2017 Note at this adjustedNote. On the conversion price is limited todate, the number that maintainsprincipal of $5 million and 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 $390,240 totaled $5,390,240. The conversion price was based on the 5-day volume weighted average close price (“VWAP”) per CDI for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of notice. The price per CDI closed at A$0.003 each day, making the VWAP A$0.003, which equaled $0.002093 per CDI or $0.10467 per share of Common Stock. The Note converted into 2,574,873,400 CDIs, which is equal to 51,497,468 shares of Common Stock.


On receipt of the notice of conversion, the Company did not have sufficient authorized shares to issue to CHESS Depository Nominees, Ltd. (“CDN”) to enable the required number of CDIs to be allotted to Crystal Amber. The available 38,401,704 shares were issued to CDN, allowing the allotment of 1,920,085,200 CDIs to Crystal Amber. The Company and Crystal Amber executed a Right to Shares and Waiver Agreement in which the Company agreed to issue the remaining outstanding unconverted principal balance. If the consideration received for such change13,095,764 shares of control is a non-cash consideration, the Purchaser may convert the entire outstanding principal balanceCommon Stock owed under the 2017 Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon into CDIs at the abovementioned Optional Conversion Price.

The Company recorded the $5 million 2017 Note, net of debt issuance costs of $115 thousand and amortized the debt issuance costs over the life of the 2017 Note. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company accrued $257 thousand of interest expense and $71 thousand in amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2017 Note.   

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.

In December 2018, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to March 31, 2019 in exchange for payment of $394 thousand which was the total interest accrued for 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 along with issuance costs of $53 thousand.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $63$65 and $124 thousand and amortization of debt issuance costs of $19 and $37$131 thousand, respectively, 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 debt discount liability, which was not recorded since it was determined to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. In April 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was further extended to July 1, 2019, which resulted in $24 thousand of debt discount liability being recorded. In June 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was further extended to October 1, 2019, which resulted in an additional $31 thousand of the debt discount liability being recorded. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized interest expense of $63 and $126 thousand, respectively, related to the 2017 Note as well as interest expense related to the additional debt discount liability of $55 thousand and $55 thousand, respectively.

On May 30, 2018,August 21, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreementthe August 2019 SPA by and between the Company as borrower, and Crystal Amber. The August 2019 SPA detailed a timeline wherein Crystal Amber Fund Limited, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”). Pursuantwould exercise the 2018 Warrant, the March 2019 Warrant, and the May 2019 Warrant. Additionally, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement,August 2019 SPA, the Company issued and sold to the PurchaserCrystal Amber a Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notesenior unsecured convertible promissory note in an aggregate original principal amount of $1.75approximately $4.6 million, or such lesser amount as may be set forth in a notice delivered by the Company to Crystal Amber (the “2018“August 2019 Note”), to be funded on December 6, 2019, or such earlier or later date as may be requested by the Company (the “Funding Date”). In conjunction with the August 2019 Note, the Company agreed to issue to Crystal Amber a maturity dateWarrant (the “August 2019 Warrant”) to purchase CDIs, subject to the receipt of May 30, 2023. Interest accruedrequired stockholder approval approving the issuance of the August 2019 Warrant and the funding of the August 2019 Note (see Note 4).

The August 2019 Note accrues interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum from the August 2019 Note Funding Date, compounded annually, other than during the continuance of an annually compoundedevent of default, when the August 2019 Note accrues interest at a rate of 10%.16% per annum.

The entire outstanding principal balance under the 2018August 2019 Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon wasis immediately convertible into CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), each representing 1/50th of a share of the Company’s common stock,CDIs at the option of the PurchaserCrystal Amber at a conversion price ofequal to US$0.0180.02 per CDI. Subsequently,In the event that the Company issuedissues additional CDIs to a stockholder other than Crystal Amber in a subsequent equity financing in September 2018 at a price per CDI of US$0.0144, resulting in an adjustment ofthat is less than the conversion price under the August 2019 Note, the conversion price shall be reduced to US$0.0144the lowest such price per CDI. In addition, upon a change of control of the Company resulting in cash proceeds, Crystal Amber may, at its option, demand that the Company prepay all accrued and unpaid interest plus 110% of the remaining outstanding unconverted principal balance. The Company may not prepay the August 2019 Note without the consent of Crystal Amber, a Related Party. If the stockholder approvals required to issue the August 2019 Warrant or to approve the conversion rights under the August 2019 Note are not obtained, the Company is obligated to prepay all accrued and unpaid interest plus 110% of the remaining outstanding unconverted principal balance on the earlier of the Funding Date or the date that is six months following the date of the stockholder meeting at which the requisite approvals were not obtained. The Company considers the change in control premium and the stockholder approval premium to each represent a cash settleable feature, thereby requiring derivative liability classification. On applying a probability adjusted present value of the premiums, the fair value was considered immaterial upon issuance and through the end of this reporting period.

In connection with

The August 2019 SPA contains customary events of default. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the August 2019 Note may be accelerated. The August 2019 SPA and related August 2019 Note and August 2019 Warrant documents also contain additional representations and warranties, covenants and conditions, in each case customary for transactions of this type.


Prior to December 6, 2019, the Company notified Crystal Amber that it had elected to receive the full amount of approximately $4.6 million under the August 2019 Note, but agreed to timing extensions.

On December 16, 2019, stockholder approval was obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.11, for the August 2019 Note conversion feature and the issuance of the 2018August 2019 Warrant, contingent on receipt of the August 2019 Note proceeds.

On January 13, 2020, the full amount of approximately $4.6 million was received as proceeds from the August 2019 Note. On receipt of funds, the August 2019 Note was immediately convertible. On January 13, 2020, the Company also issued to the Purchaser a warrant (the “2018 Warrant”)Crystal Amber an immediately exercisable August 2019 Warrant to purchase 97,222,200229,844,650 CDIs (representing 1,944,4444,596,893 shares of common shares) atstock) for an initial exercise price of US$0.018$0.02 per CDI as per the 2018(see Note conversion price, the warrant exercise price was subsequently adjusted to US$0.0144 per CDI, and is subject to further exercise price adjustment on certain conditions as described in the 2018 Warrant. The 2018 Warrant may be exercised at any time on a cash or cashless basis until the 2018 Warrant expires on May 30, 2023.4).

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.

On issuance, having already obtained the 2018required stockholder approval to reserve the CDIs underlying the conversion feature and the August 2019 Warrant, the August 2019 Warrant was determined to be a freestanding instrument meeting the requirements for equity classification.classification in accordance with 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. Accordingly, proceeds from the August 2019 SPA were allocated to the August 2019 Note and Warrant based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value estimated forof the 2018August 2019 Warrant totalingof approximately $743 thousand, has been$2.3 million was recorded as a debt discount with the offset to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the Company analyzed the conversion features of the August 2019 Note to determine whether a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) existed. The Company determined a BCF with a value of $435 thousand existed and was recorded as a debt discount with the offset to additional paid-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%.

The Company recorded the 2018 Note at issuance, net of the total debt discount of $1.75 million andwill be amortized to interest expense through the debt discount over the lifeJanuary 2025 maturity of the 2018August 2019 Note.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded accrued interest expense of $115 and $213 thousand, respectively, related to the August 2019 Note. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company accrued interest expense of $47 and $91 thousand and debt discount amortization of $74 and $146 thousand. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $14$138 and $256 thousand, and debt discountrespectively, from the amortization of $25 thousand, and interest expense derived from issuance costs of $85 thousand, respectively.

The 2018 Note was converted on June 30, 2019 to 134,852,549 CDIs (representing 2,697,050 common shares). The principal of $1.75 million converted to 121,527,777 CDIs (representing 2,430,555 common shares) and the accrued interest of $192 thousand converted to 13,324,772 CDIs (representing 266,495 common shares).

11. Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach. There was no impact to retained earnings upon adoption of Topic 842 as there were no active long-term leases in place at the adoption date. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, unless the arrangement includes an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an option to renew the arrangement, that we are reasonably certain to exercise (short-term leases).  Lease Commitments

In June 2016, the Company entered into a non-cancelable agreement to lease approximately 4,200 square feet of office space in Boston, Massachusetts. The lease commenced in June 2016 and expired in April 2018. Rent during the term was $12 thousand per month.

In December 2018, the Company entered into a 6-month membership agreement with WeWork for 985 square feet of office space located in Boston, Massachusetts. The committed lease term expired in May 2019 and contained a two-month cancellation provision.2019. The WeWork agreement contained no explicit or guaranteed extension provisions.

On April 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Right-of-Useright-of-use lease for 3,520 square feet of office space in Boston, Massachusetts. The lease period contractually commenced June 1, 2019 and expires on May 31, 2022, but the space was available for occupancy on May 1, 2019 resulting in an effective period of May 2019 through May 2022, with no rent payment assessed in May 2019. The lease has defined escalating rent payments and contains no extension or expansion rights. On lease execution, the Company recorded the approximately $509$463 thousand present value of the lease liability in short-term and long-term liabilities and recorded a related Right of Use Asset.right-of-use asset. The Right-of-Useright-of-use asset will be amortized to lease expense and the liability will be reduced by the rent payments over the term of the lease. As of June 30, 2019, the accumulated depreciation on the lease was approximately $11 thousand. Additional property tax allocations and separately metered utilities will all be expensed in the period incurred.

The Company'sCompany’s leases generally do not provide an implicit interest rate and therefore the Company useduses 10% as an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease in a similar economic environment. The Company had no leases currently classified as finance leases or previously classified as capital leases in either reporting period.

Table of Contents

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 six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018:2019:

Overview

We are

GI Dynamics is a clinical stage medical device company located in Boston, Massachusetts. We haveThe Company has developed EndoBarrier, a medical device intended for treatment ofto treat patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity, and we areto reduce obesity. GI Dynamics is taking the steps necessary to obtain the regulatory approvals required to market this product. In order to market EndoBarrier in the U.S., weGI Dynamics must obtain approval from the FDA. In order to market EndoBarrier outside of the U.S., we areGI Dynamics is required to comply with various regulations imposed by the countries in which we seekit seeks 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, wethe Company received approximately $2.8 million and $2.25$2.3 million, respectively, in revenue from the sale of EndoBarrier in Europe, South America and the Asia Pacific region. In the U.S. in 2013, wethe Company began enrollment of patients in the initial pivotal trial of EndoBarrier, which we referis referred to as the ENDO Trial.trial.

 

In the third quarter of 2015, wethe Company announced ourits decision to discontinue the ENDO Trialtrial because patients were experiencing a higher than previously observed level of hepatic (liver) abscesses. In the fourth quarter of 2016, weGI Dynamics received formal notification from the Therapeutic Goods AdministrationTGA of the Australian government of the cancellation of EndoBarrier’s inclusion on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.ARTG. In the fourth quarter of 2017 wethe Company received formal notification of CE mark withdrawal from ourits notified body in Europe, preventing the sale of EndoBarrier in Europe and select Middle Eastern countries. WeThe Company undertook comprehensive cost-cutting measures throughout 2015 and 2016, including significantly reducing the number of ourits employees.

Following ourthe decision to discontinue the ENDO Trial, wetrial, GI Dynamics undertook significant investigational and scientific analysisanalyses with the goal of reducing the incidence rate and severity of hepatic abscess that present concurrentlyconcurrent 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 companyCompany to modify the medications utilized with EndoBarrier, most notably discontinuation of chronic double-dose PPI usage during EndoBarrier implant.

In July

As a result of the efforts described above, in August 2018, we submitted toGI Dynamics received an IDE from the FDA an application for investigational device exemption, or IDE, to commencebegin enrollment in a new pivotal trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of EndoBarrier in the United States pending Institutional Review Board, 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, which was granted inreceived on February 13, 2019. In this report, we referthe Company refers to this pivotal trial as the GIDGI Dynamics STEP-1 clinical trial. On January 27, 2020, the first patient was randomized into the STEP-1 Trial Protocol.

To date, the Company

GI Dynamics has raised net proceeds of approximately $273$279.3 million through sales of the Company’s equity and placement of debt, of which $9.3 million was raised through the Company’s 2019 financings and approximately $1.3 million has been raised in 2020 financings, inclusive of the August 2020 Note.

On August 21, 2019, the Company and Crystal Amber entered into a securities purchase agreement for a total funding of up to approximately $10 million (the “August 2019 SPA”). The initial $5.4 million was comprised of existing warrant exercises scheduled between August 25, 2019 and November 15, 2019. The remaining amount of the August 2019 funding was represented by a Convertible Term Promissory Note (“August 2019 Note”) of up to approximately $4.6 million and a related Warrant (“August 2019 Warrant”). Under the terms of the August 2019 SPA and August 2019 Note, the Company, at its sole discretion, could elect to request any of the $4.6 million to be funded at any date on or before December 6, 2019. The conversion feature allows the conversion of the August 2019 Note’s unpaid principal and interest at $0.02 per CDI and the August 2019 Warrant, upon its issue, allowed the purchase for $0.02 per CDI a number of CDIs represented by the August 2019 Note principal divided by $0.02 per CDI.

On August 21, 2019, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to March 31, 2020.

On December 2, 2019, GI Dynamics provided notice to Crystal Amber that the Company elected to place the August 2019 Note at the full amount, on or before December 6, 2019. In December, the Company and Crystal Amber agreed to confer the right to tranche the funding of the August 2019 Note in amounts and per timing chosen solely by Crystal Amber, provided the August 2019 Note total was funded on or before January 15, 2020.

On December 16, 2019, GI Dynamics’ stockholders approved the August 2019 Note conversion feature and the issuance of convertible debt and sales of our equity. See Note 1the August 2019 Warrant, pending funding of the Consolidated Financial Statements (NatureAugust 2019 Note by Crystal Amber.

On January 13, 2020, GI Dynamics received approximately $4.6 million in cash representing the full funding of Business —the August 2019 Note. As stockholder approval had been obtained in December 2019, the August 2019 Note became convertible at Crystal Amber’s sole discretion until maturity in January 2025. Additionally, the August 2019 Warrant was issued to Crystal Amber, providing for the purchase of up to 229,844,650 CDIs (representing 4,596,893 shares of common stock) at $0.02 per CDI.

On March 31, 2020, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to May 1, 2020. On April 30 , 2020, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to May 15, 2020. On May 15, 2020, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to June 15, 2020. On June 15, 2020, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to June 29, 2020.  On June 29, 2020, the maturity date of the 2017 Note was extended to July 31, 2020.

On May 11, 2020, the Company received approximately $200 thousand from a lender under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan program of the 2020 CARES Act. The PPP loan accrues interest at 1% with payments deferred for six months and a maturity date two years from loan approval. The Company may apply for loan forgiveness subject to completion of an application and appropriate use of the loan proceeds as defined in the PPP loan structure. The Company must use a defined portion of the proceeds for payroll and the remainder for qualified facilities expenses during a defined measurement period. The Company has completed the measurement period and believes all conditions for forgiveness were met. The Company will apply for loan forgiveness when the lender accepts applications for forgiveness.


On June 18, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“June 2020 NPA”) with Crystal Amber, pursuant to which, the Company issued and sold to Crystal Amber, a Convertible Promissory Note in an aggregate original principal amount of $750 thousand (the “June 2020 Note”). The note and accrued interest will mandatorily convert at the Initial Close of the Proposed Offering into shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the price per share of Series A Preferred Stock sold in the Proposed Offering, otherwise, the note and accrued interest become immediately due and payable at the sole discretion of Crystal Amber any time after December 18, 2020.

On July 13, 2020, Crystal Amber provided the Company with a notice of optional conversion of the 2017 Note, thereby converting the principal of $5 million and the accrued and unpaid interest of $390 thousand into 2,574,873,400 CDIs, which is equal to 51,497,468 shares of Common Stock. On receipt of the notice of conversion, the Company did not have sufficient authorized shares to allow full conversion. The available 38,401,704 shares were issued to CDN, allowing the allotment of 1,920,085,200 CDIs to Crystal Amber and a Right to Shares and Waiver Agreement in which the Company agreed to issue the remaining 13,095,764 shares of Common Stock owed under the conversion when the Company has filed an amended and restated certification of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with the consummation of the Proposed Financing History)and the Company has been delisted from the ASX.

On July 22, 2020, GI Dynamics was removed from the Official List of the ASX and all CDIs were converted to shares of Common Stock. Although the Company’s securities are not traded on any exchange, the Company remains subject to SEC reporting requirements.

On August 4, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“August 2020 NPA”) with Crystal Amber, pursuant to which, the Company issued and sold to Crystal Amber, a Convertible Promissory Note in an aggregate original principal amount of $500 thousand (the “August 2020 Note”). The note and accrued interest will mandatorily convert at the Initial Close of the Proposed Offering into shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the price per share of Series A Preferred Stock sold in the Proposed Offering, otherwise, the note and accrued interest become immediately due and payable at the sole discretion of Crystal Amber any time after February 4, 2021.

The Company’s costs include employee salaries and benefits, compensation paid to consultants, materials and supplies for research, costs associated with development activities including materials, sub-contractors, travel and administration, legal expenses, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative expenses, and other costs associated with an early stage, medical technology company. As of June 30, 2020, GI Dynamics has 15 full-time employees. The number of employees required to support the Company’s activities as it moves the EndoBarrier through the GI Dynamics STEP-1 clinical trial, as well as in the areas of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative functions, may increase. GI Dynamics expects to continue to incur consulting expenses related to technology development that will increase as it enters into the recruitment phase of the STEP-1 and India clinical trials, and the Company expects to continue to incur expenses to protect its intellectual property.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a detailed descriptioncoronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. As a result, economic uncertainties have arisen which, as of June 30, 2020, have negatively impacted GI Dynamics short term-operations, for example in delays in timing of regulatory audits and other key operational activities due to widespread sequestration and in facing enrollment pauses in our clinical trials due to the clinic-level restriction of elective procedures, for which EndoBarrier implantation qualifies. When operational activities are delayed, expenditures on certain items may decrease, such as travel. There is no certainty which reduced expenditures will result in higher than usual expenditures as activities resume and which will return to the expected rate. If the restrictions are limited in duration, the Company anticipates an ability to overcome delays and return to original timing estimates, but there can be no guarantee the duration and operational impact will be limited to the degree required. Additionally, market-level impacts may affect the timing or the negotiation of terms in the Company’s financing history.efforts. These and other financial impacts that could occur may appear as positive or negative impacts to the Company’s future financial statements.

Our


The amount that GI Dynamics spends for any specific purpose may vary significantly from quarter to quarter or year to year, and could depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the pace of progress of the GI Dynamics STEP-1 and India clinical trials, commercialization and development efforts and actual needs with respect to development and research.

Research, development, and commercial acceptance of new medical technologies are, by their nature, unpredictable. Although the Company will undertake development and commercialization efforts with reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that the net proceeds from the Company’s securities offerings will be sufficient to enable the Company to develop the Company’s technology to the extent needed to create future sales to sustain operations. If the net proceeds from these offerings are insufficient for this purpose, GI Dynamics will consider other options to continue its path to commercialization, including, but not limited to, additional financing through additional equity offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements, sale or licensing of developed intellectual or other property, or other alternatives.

GI Dynamics cannot assure that its technology will be accepted, that it will ever earn revenues sufficient to support its operations, or that it will ever be profitable. Furthermore, the Company has no ongoing committed source of financing and cannot assure that it will be able to raise money as and when it needs it to continue operations.

GI Dynamics believes that its application of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimatesthe following accounting policies, each of which require significant judgments 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.

As a result, economic uncertainties have arisen which, as of June 30, 2020, have negatively impacted GI Dynamics short term-operations, for example in delays in timing of regulatory audits and other key operational activities due to widespread sequestration and in facing enrollment pauses in our clinical trials due to the third quarterclinic-level restriction of 2019elective procedures, for which EndoBarrier implantation qualifies. When operational activities are delayed, expenditures on certain items may decrease, such as travel. There is no certainty which reduced expenditures will result in higher than usual expenditures as activities resume and which will return to approximate thosethe expected rate. If the restrictions are limited in duration, the Company anticipates an ability to overcome delays and return to original timing estimates, but there can be no guarantee the duration and operational impact will be limited to the degree required.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred losses since our inception in March 2003 and as

As of June 30, 2019, we2020, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and restricted cash balances. GI Dynamics is currently focused primarily on its clinical trials, which will support future regulatory submissions and potential commercialization activities. Until the Company is successful in gaining regulatory approvals, it is unable to sell the Company’s product in any market at this time. Without revenues, GI Dynamics is reliant on funding obtained from investment in the Company to maintain business operations until the Company can generate positive cash flows from operations. The Company cannot predict the extent of future operating losses and accumulated deficit, and it may never generate sufficient revenues to achieve or sustain profitability.

GI Dynamics has incurred operating losses since inception and at June 30, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $279$290 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $3.8 million. We have financed our operations from a combination of sales of equity securities and issuances of convertible term notes.

The May 2019 Note accrued interest at 10% per annum, computed on the daily funded balance until completion of funding on June 28, 2019, when interest began to compound annually at 10% per annum. The May 2019 Note converted on June 30, 2019 into 237,687,411 CDIs (representing 4,753,747 common shares). The May 2019 Warrant will expire on June 30, 2024.  Crystal Amber is deemed a Related Party of the Company for ASX purposes due to the size of its ownership position (see Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the financing).

Funding Requirements

As of June 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s primary source of liquidity is its cash and restricted cash equivalents balances. GI Dynamics is currently focused primarily on gaining CE mark and executing its clinical trials, which will support future regulatory submissions and potential commercialization activities. Until the Company is successful in gaining CE mark and various regulatory approvals, it is unable to sell the Company’s product in any market at this time. Without revenues, GI Dynamics is reliant on funding obtained from investment in the Company to maintain business operations until the Company can generate positive cash flows from operations. The Company continuescannot predict the extent of future operating losses and accumulated deficit, and it may never generate sufficient revenues to evaluate which markets are appropriate to pursue regulatory approvals, continue pursuing reimbursement, market awarenessachieve or sustain profitability. 

GI Dynamics has incurred operating losses since inception and general market developmentat June 30, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $290 million and selling efforts.working capital of approximately $3.8 million. 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.

The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and at At June 30, 20192020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $279 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $3.8 million, cash used$760 thousand in operating activities of approximately $5.3 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million. Cash provided by these activities will be used predominantly to prepare for and conduct 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 September 2019.  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. Furthermore, if the Company raises insufficient funds and is required to make payment to Crystal Amber under the 2017 Note on its maturity date of October 1, 2019 the Company will be required either to renegotiate the maturity date of the loan or to potentially cease operations. The Company expects to discuss further extension of the maturity date of the 2017 Note with Crystal Amber, but there can be no assurance that any extension will occur.restricted cash. 

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 arethe Company is unable to estimate precisely the amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the task of obtaining regulatory approval for EndoBarrier. Our fundingEndoBarrier®. Funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

the timing and conditions related to COVID-19 restrictions on clinical development and corporate activities;

the timing, cost, and resulting success of research and development efforts;

the rate of progress and cost of commercialization activities after regulatory approval;

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

WeGI Dynamics will continue to manage ourits capital structure and to consider all financing opportunities, whenever they may occur, that could strengthen ourits long-term liquidity profile. Any such capital transactions may or may not be similar to transactions in which we havethe Company has 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.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do

The Company does 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 arethe Company is not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if wethe Company had engaged in those types of relationships.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskRisk.

We conduct

The Company conducts business in foreign countries and our cash flows are thereby exposed to market risk from changes in currency exchange and interest rates.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our

The Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million$730 thousand at June 30, 2019, consisted of cash and money market funds, all of2020, which will be used for working capital purposes. We doThe Company does not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. The goals of ourthe Company’s investment policy are preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and fiduciary control of cash and investments. WeThe Company also seekseeks to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. OurThe Company’s 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 ourthe Company’s cash and restricted cash, equivalents, we doGI Dynamics does not believe that we haveit has 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

GI Dynamics conducts business in foreign countries. For U.S. reporting purposes, we translate all assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. entities are remeasured at the period-end exchange rate and revenueincome and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the periods. The net effect of these translationremeasurement 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 doThe Company does not currently utilize foreign currency contracts to mitigate the gains and losses generated by the re- measurementremeasurement of non- functionalnon-functional currency assets and liabilities butand do not currently hold material cash reserves in currencies in which those reservescertain expenditures are anticipated to be expended.denominated. 

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 June 30, 2019, we held the equivalent of approximately US $5 thousand denominated in Australian dollars and approximately US $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

The Company does not believe that inflation and changing pricesprice fluctuations over the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 20182019 had a significant impact on ourthe results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and ProceduresProcedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b)

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15(f), GI Dynamics carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), of the Securities Exchange Acteffectiveness of 1934, or the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officerCompany’s disclosure controls and our principal financial and accounting officer, conducted an evaluationprocedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Reportreport. Based on Form 10-Q ofthat evaluation, 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 haveCompany’s Certifying Officers concluded that based on and as of the time of such evaluation, ourCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective atas of June 30, 2020 in enabling GI Dynamics to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in its periodic SEC filings within the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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,the Certifying Officers conducted an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting and concluded that there have not beento determine whether any changes occurred during the second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019of 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The evaluation performed by the Certifying Officers resulted in a conclusion that no such changes occurred.

Inherent Limitations on Controls and Procedures

Our

Company management, including ourthe principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, does not expect that ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. AInternal 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 canover financial reporting cannot 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 occurachieving financial reporting objectives because of simple errorits inherent limitations. It is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment or mistake. Additionally, controlsbreakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. While process safeguards can reduce risks, because of inherent limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the individual actsrisk that controls may become inadequate because of some persons, by collusionchanges in conditions, or that the degree of twocompliance with the policies or more people, or by management override of controls.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

GI Dynamics is currently not involved in any litigation that it believes could have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, its common stock, any of its subsidiaries or of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. From time to time, the Company may become involved legal proceedings, lawsuits, claims and regulations in the ordinary course of its business. 

Item 1A. Risk Factors:Factors.

In addition to the other information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and as set forth below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2020, which could materially affect ourthe Company business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face.faced by the Company. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could also materially and adversely affect any of ourthe Company business, financial condition or future results.

The Company has delisted its CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) from the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”), which may reduce the liquidity and value of the Company’s securities.

In view of the significant costs associated with maintaining an ASX listing, the lack of liquidity in the CDIs, amplified CDI volatility, no current nexus with Australia and the fact that potential financing opportunities were limited by such listing, the Company delisted, with the consent of ASX and its stockholders, CDIs from the ASX on July 23, 2020 (U.S. Eastern Time). The absence of a listing on the ASX may reduce the ability of Australian residents to own shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, there is no established public trading pricemarket for the Company’s common stock and the Company does not currently expect a market to develop. At this time, the Company does not intend to apply for listing of our CDIsthe shares of common stock on any securities exchange. Without an active market, stockholders may decline duebe unable to these risks.readily sell the shares of common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities:Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Other than as previously disclosed on ourthe Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, wethe Company did not issue any unregistered equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2019.2020.
