Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information and Pro Forma Balance Sheet

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures (including non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP net loss and loss per share), which exclude non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash stock-based, one-time Offering costs and the change in value of derivative warrant liability. Management does not consider these costs in evaluating the continuing operations of the Company. Therefore, management calculates the non-GAAP financial measures provided in this earnings release excluding these costs and uses these non-GAAP financial measures to enable it to analyze further, and more consistently, the period-to-period financial performance of its core business operations. Management believes that providing investors with these non-GAAP measures gives them additional important information to enable them to assess, in the same way management assesses, the Company’s current and future continuing operations. There are limitations in using these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Investors and potential investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures.

On a GAAP basis the Company reported Operating Expenses of $3.8 million, a net operating loss of $2.7 million, a net loss of $4.0 million and a loss of $0.54 per share.

Vycor’s GAAP operating costs for year ended December 31, 2014 include non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets ($234,467), non-cash stock compensation charges ($376,662), and one-time offering costs ($581,702). Vycor’s other income includes change in the value of warrant derivative liability (loss of $252,633), loss on extinguishment of debt ($682,039), loss on extension of warrants ($146,488) and loss on foreign currency exchange ($105,685). The Company is providing additional non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these charges and expenses, and reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the tables included in this release.

On a non-GAAP basis, taking into account these adjustments, Operating Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $2,633,309, non-GAAP net operating loss was $1,539,317, and non-GAAP loss was $1,670,036 or $0.22 per share.

VYCOR MEDICAL, INC.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Operating Loss and Net Loss
(unaudited)

(1) Non-Cash Amortization on acquired intangible assets. These are non-cash charges related to acquired intangible assets such patents and software which can be impacted by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. We consider our operating results without these charges when evaluating our ongoing costs and performance, and therefore exclude such charges when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

(2) Non-Cash Stock-based compensation expense consists of expense relating to stock-based awards issued to employees, outside directors and non employees including stock options, restricted common stock, and warrants. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the fact that these amounts vary in size and timing, we believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense allows for a more accurate comparison of our financial results to previous periods. In addition, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of stock-based compensation expenses on our operating results.

(3) Offering Costs comprises the broker commissions, banking fees, legal fees and other costs associated with the five separate closings of an offering of units of Common Stock and Warrants (the "Offering") during the period January to April, 2014. These costs are one-time for the period of the Offering and are disregarded by management in evaluating and predicting earnings trends and are therefore excluded by us when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

(4) Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. In August, 2014, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Fountainhead, along with certain other related and non-related parties (together, the “Fountainhead Parties”), to exchange all of the parties’ $2,355,587 of debt into Company preferred equity of equivalent value. Under Applicable Accounting Guidance ASC 405 and 470, the exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. The Company is required to compare the carrying value of the securities being extinguished (without placing any value on security preference, default protection, conversion rights or other matters) with the fair value of the securities being issued in exchange. The fair values were determined using a variety of techniques including Black-Scholes, taking into account stock volatility but not, importantly, stock illiquidity, to derive a theoretical fair value. The securities issued in exchange are then recorded on the balance sheet at this fair value and the difference between fair value of the new securities and the carrying value of the extinguished securities is recognized in the income statement as a gain or loss. Because this was a one-time transaction and is calculated using subjective valuation assumptions, we believe that the exclusion of the loss on extinguishment of debt allows for a more accurate reflection of our financial result, and has therefore been excluded by us when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

(5) Loss on Extension of Warrants. In August, 2014, in a transaction unrelated to the exchange in Note 4, Fountainhead entered into an agreement with the Company preventing it from selling any Vycor Shares currently held by Fountainhead below $4.50. In return, the Company agreed to extend the life of certain of Fountainhead’s existing warrants expiring in 2015 to the same 3-year term as the warrants being issued under the exchange. The fair value of the extended terms were compared to the fair value of the existing terms, using Black-Scholes. The extended warrants were recorded on the balance sheet at this fair value and the difference between fair value of the extended terms and of the existing terms was recognized in the income statement as loss. Because this treatment is limited in time and is calculated using subjective valuation assumptions, we believe that the exclusion of the derivative liability on the balance sheet, and the change in valuation on the statement of operations, allows for a more accurate reflection of our financial result, and has therefore been excluded by us when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.

(6) Derivative Liability: Warrant. The Company accounts for the remaining 34,723 Series A Warrants issued in connection with the Offering which still carry anti-dilution rights in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D, whereby under that provision, because they have anti-dilution rights, they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value and adjusts the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised or until the anti-dilution provisions contained within the warrant agreements expire, and is classified in the balance sheet as a current liability. Because this treatment is limited in time and is calculated using subjective valuation assumptions, we believe that the exclusion of the derivative liability on the balance sheet, and the change in valuation on the statement of operations, allows for a more accurate reflection of our financial result, and has therefore been excluded by us when presenting non-GAAP financial measures.
