1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Operating Segment

(a) Description of Business

Endologix, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation with corporate headquarters and production facilities located in Irvine, California. The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells innovative medical devices for the treatment of aortic disorders. The Company's products are intended for the minimally invasive endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms ("AAA"). The Company's AAA products are built on one of two platforms: (1) traditional minimally-invasive endovascular repair ("EVAR") or (2) endovascular sealing (“EVAS”), the Company's innovative solution for sealing the aneurysm sac while maintaining blood flow through two blood flow lumens. The Company's current EVAR products include the Endologix AFX Endovascular AAA System (“AFX”), the VELA Proximal Endograft (“VELA”) and the Endologix Intuitrak Endovascular AAA System (“Intuitrak”). The Company's current EVAS product is the Nellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System (“Nellix EVAS System”). Sales of the Company's EVAR and EVAS platforms (including extensions and accessories) to hospitals in the U.S. and Europe, and to third-party international distributors, provide the sole source of the Company's reported revenue.
The Company's EVAR products consist of (i) a cobalt chromium alloy stent covered by polytetrafluoroethylene (commonly referred to as "ePTFE") graft material (“Stent Graft”) and (ii) an accompanying delivery system. Once fixed in its proper position within the abdominal aorta, the Company's EVAR device provides a conduit for blood flow, thereby relieving pressure within the weakened or “aneurysmal” section of the vessel wall, which greatly reduces the potential for the AAA to rupture.
The Company's EVAS product consists of (i) bilateral covered stents with endobags, (ii) a biocompatible polymer injected into the endobags to seal the aneurysm and (iii) a delivery system and polymer dispenser. The Company's EVAS product seals the entire aneurysm sac effectively excluding the aneurysm sac reducing the likelihood of future aneurysm rupture. Additionally, it has the potential to reduce post procedural re-interventions.
(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company, including its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no related party transactions.

The interim financial data as of June 30, 2015 is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim data includes normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015.

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU ") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The FASB agreed to a one-year deferral of the revenue recognition standard's effective date for all entities. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early application is permitted, but not before the original effective date, which would have been January 1, 2017 for the Company. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs", which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from

4

ENDOLOGIX, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)



the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the amendment at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
  
(c) Operating Segment

The Company has one operating and reporting segment that is focused exclusively on the development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of EVAR and EVAS product for the treatment of aortic disorders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, all of the Company's revenue and related expenses were solely attributable to these activities. Substantially all of the Company's long-lived assets are located in the U.S.

2. Use of Estimates and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company's management evaluates its estimates, including those related to (i) collectibility of customer accounts; (ii) whether the cost of inventories can be recovered; (iii) the value of goodwill and intangible assets; (iv) realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (v) likelihood of payment and value of contingent liabilities; and (vi) potential outcome of litigation. Such estimates are based on management's judgment which takes into account historical experience and various assumptions. Nonetheless, actual results may differ from management's estimates.
For a complete summary of our significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 2, "Use of Estimates and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", in Part II, Item 8, of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed March 2, 2015. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2015, the Company’s investments included 6 held-to-maturity debt securities in unrealized loss positions with a total unrealized loss of approximately $2 thousand and a total fair market value of approximately $4.7 million. All investments with gross unrealized losses have been in unrealized loss positions for less than 4 months. The unrealized losses were caused by interest rate fluctuations. There was no change in the credit risk of the securities. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the expected recovery of their amortized cost bases. There were no realized gains or losses on the investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. All of the Company's investments of held-to-maturity securities will mature within less than 12 months with an average maturity of 3 months.

As discussed in Note 6, in December 2013, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”) in an underwritten public offering. Upon any conversion, the Senior Notes may be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. For purposes of calculating the maximum dilutive impact, it is presumed that the Senior Notes will be settled in common stock with the resulting potential common shares included in diluted earnings per share if the effect is more dilutive. The effect of the conversion of the Senior Notes is excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the impact of these securities would be anti-dilutive. The potential dilutive effect of these securities is shown in the chart below:

6. Credit Facilities

2.25% Convertible Senior Notes

On December 10, 2013, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2018 unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted. The Company received net proceeds of the Notes of approximately $82.6 million from the sale of the Senior Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. Interest is payable on the Senior Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2014.

The Senior Notes are governed by the terms of a base indenture (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture relating to the Senior Notes (the “First Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture,

9

ENDOLOGIX, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)



the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), each of which were entered into on December 10, 2013.

The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are (a) senior in right of payment to the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Notes; (b) equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; (c) effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; (d) and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Company may not redeem the Senior Notes prior to December 15, 2016. On or after December 15, 2016, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Senior Notes, at its option, but only if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the second trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Senior Notes.

Holders may convert their Senior Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2018 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2014, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Senior Notes in effect on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for the Senior Notes for each such trading day was less than 98% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; (3) if the Company calls all or any portion of the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after September 15, 2018 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, holders may surrender their Senior Notes for conversion at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Upon conversion, the Company will, at its election, pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock.

The initial conversion rate of the Senior Notes will be 41.6051 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $24.04 per share. Following certain corporate transactions that occur on or prior to the stated maturity date or the Company’s delivery of a notice of redemption, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Senior Notes in connection with such a corporate transaction.

If a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs prior to the stated maturity date, holders may require the Company to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Senior Notes at a fundamental change purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants and events of default with respect to the Senior Notes. If an event of default (as defined in the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee). If an event of default arising out of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company or a significant subsidiary (as set forth in the Indenture) occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of the Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will automatically become immediately due and payable.

The Company was not required to separate the conversion option in the Senior Notes under ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging", and has the ability to settle the Senior Notes in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at its option. In accordance with cash conversion guidance contained in ASC 470-20, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options", the Company accounted for the Senior Notes by allocating the issuance proceeds between the liability and the equity component. The

10

(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)



equity component is classified in stockholders’ equity and the resulting discount on the liability component is accreted such that interest expense equals the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The separation was performed by first determining the fair value of a similar debt that does not have an associated equity component. That amount was then deducted from the initial proceeds of the Senior Notes as a whole to arrive at a residual amount, which was allocated to the conversion feature that is classified as equity. The initial fair value of the indebtedness was $66.9 million resulting in a $19.3 million allocation to the embedded conversion option. The embedded conversion option was recorded in stockholders’ equity and as debt discount, to be subsequently accreted to interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes. Underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses totaled $3.7 million and were allocated between the liability and the equity component in proportion to the allocation of proceeds and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively. As a result, $2.9 million attributable to the indebtedness was recorded as deferred financing costs in other assets, to be subsequently amortized as interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes, and $0.8 million attributable to the equity component was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital in stockholders’ equity.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $72.2 million, and deferred financing costs of $2.2 million, related to the Senior Notes. There are no principal payments due during the term. Annual interest expense on these notes will range from $5.7 million to $6.9 million through maturity.

Capped Call Transactions

On December 10, 2013, in connection with the pricing of the Senior Notes and the exercise in full of their overallotment option by the underwriters, the Company entered into privately-negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. The Capped Call Transactions initial conversion rate and number of options substantially corresponds to each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes. The Company used approximately $7.4 million of the net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering to pay for the cost of the Capped Call Transactions.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions entered into by the Company with Bank of America, N.A., are not part of the terms of the Senior Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the Senior Notes. The Capped Call Transactions have anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Senior Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are derivative instruments that are recorded within stockholders’ equity because they meet an exemption from mark-to-market derivative accounting.

The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset potential cash payments that the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Senior Notes in the event that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions, which initially corresponds to the $24.04 conversion price of the Senior Notes. If, however, the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the initial cap price of $29.02, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions.

The Company will not be required to make any cash payments to Bank of America, N.A. or any of its affiliates upon the exercise of the options that are a part of the Capped Call Transactions, but will be entitled to receive from Bank of America, N.A. (or an affiliate thereof) a number of shares of the Company’s common stock and/or an amount of cash generally based on the amount by which the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions during the relevant valuation period under the Capped Call Transactions. However, if the market price of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions during such valuation period under the Capped Call Transactions, the number of shares of common stock and/or the amount of cash the Company expects to receive upon exercise of the Capped Call Transactions will be capped based on the amount by which the cap price exceeds the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions.

For any conversions of Senior Notes prior to the close of business on the 55th scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date of the Senior Notes, including without limitation upon an acquisition of the Company or similar business combination, a corresponding portion of the Capped Call Transactions will be terminated. Upon such termination, the portion of the Capped Call Transactions being terminated will be settled at fair value (subject to certain limitations), as determined by Bank

11

of America, N.A., in its capacity as calculation agent under the Capped Call Transactions, which the Company expects to receive from Bank of America, N.A., and no payments will be due Bank of America, N.A. The capped call expires on December 13, 2018.

Wells Fargo line of credit

In October 2009, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells”), which was last amended on February 3, 2015, whereby the Company may borrow up to $20.0 million, subject to the calculation and limitation of a borrowing base (the “Wells Credit Facility”). All amounts owing under the Wells Credit Facility will become due and payable upon its expiration on November 15, 2015. A sub-feature in the line of credit allows for the issuance of up to $7.5 million in letters of credit. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding letters of credit issued. The Wells Credit Facility is collateralized by all of the Company's assets, except its intellectual property.

The Wells Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to (i) maintain a minimum current ratio of 2.0 , equal to the quotient of modified current assets to current liabilities, as defined in the Wells Credit Facility (the "Current Ratio Covenant"), and (ii) not to exceed pre-tax net loss (excluding non-cash contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Nellix) of $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015; $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015; and $35.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015; (the "Net Loss Covenant").  The Wells Credit Facility also includes negative covenants limiting capital expenditures in 2015 to an aggregate of $6.0 million as well as limiting operating lease expenses to $3.0 million in any calendar year. As of June 30, 2015, the Company was not in compliance with the Net Loss Covenant. The financial covenants as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are no longer applicable due to the termination of the Wells Credit Facility on July 21, 2015.

The Wells Credit Facility also contains a “material adverse change” clause (“MAC”). If the Company encounters difficulties that would qualify as a MAC in its (i) operations, (ii) condition (financial or otherwise), or (iii) ability to repay amounts outstanding under the Wells Credit Facility, it could be canceled at Wells' sole discretion. Wells could then elect to declare the indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and proceed against any collateral securing such indebtedness. No borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2015 and 2014. On July 21, 2015, the Company terminated the credit facility. As of the termination date, the Company had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credits issued under the Wells Credit Facility.

Bank of America line of credit

On July 21, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BOA”), whereby the Company may borrow up to $20.0 million (the “BOA Credit Facility”). All amounts owing under the BOA Credit Facility will become due and payable upon its expiration on July 21, 2017. A sub-feature in the line of credit allows for the issuance of up to $10.0 million in letters of credit. The BOA Credit Facility is collateralized by all of the Company's assets, except its intellectual property. The BOA Credit Facility can be terminated at any time during the two years by Company upon three business day notice. The BOA Credit Facility usage is priced at a spread over the one, two, three and six month LIBOR rates, and is subject to a covenants related to timely providing of publicly reported information, other indebtedness and a liquidity covenant tied to “Unencumbered Liquid Assets” ("ULA") - (as defined here) of not less than $30.0 million. ULA means the following assets (excluding assets of any retirement plan) which (i) are held in the United States at BOA and/or its affiliates, (ii) are not the subject of any lien, pledge, security interest or other arrangement with any creditor (other than BOA or one of BOA’s affiliates) to have his claim satisfied out of the asset (or proceeds thereof) prior to the general creditors of the owner of the asset, (iii) are held solely in the name of one or more credit parties subject to this covenant (with no other persons or entities having ownership rights therein), (iv) may be converted to cash within five (5) days, and (v) are not being counted or included to satisfy any other liquidity requirement under any other obligation, whether with BOA or any other lender, unless otherwise expressly agreed by BOA in writing: (a) cash and cash equivalents; (b) marketable securities invested in accordance with the Company’s investment policy and (c) marketable securities invested in accordance with any update to the Company’s investment policy so long as such update been approved by BOA in its reasonable discretion.
If not in default, the Company has the ability to reduce the ULA covenant requirement by reducing the BOA Credit Facility, with the ULA maintained at 1.5 times the BOA Credit Facility.

(a) Leases
The Company leases its administrative, research, and manufacturing facilities located in Irvine, California and an administrative office located in Rosmalen, The Netherlands. These facility lease agreements require the Company to pay operating costs, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, the Company has certain equipment under long-term agreements that are accounted for as operating leases.
Future minimum payments by year under non-cancelable leases with initial terms in excess of one year were as follows as of June 30, 2015:

Facilities rent expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 facilities rent expense was $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
 
On June 12, 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement for two adjacent office, research and development, and manufacturing facilities in Irvine, California.  The premises consist of approximately 129,000 combined square feet. The lease has a 15-year term beginning January 1, 2014 and provides for one optional five year extension. The initial base rent under the lease is $1.9 million per year, payable in monthly installments, and escalates by 3% per year for years 2015 through 2019, and 4% per year for years 2020 and beyond.  The Company received a rent abatement for the first nine months of the lease. These premises replaced the Company's existing Irvine facilities. The terms of this lease agreement provide for $6.8 million of landlord-funded improvements (and certain other allowances) to this facility, in order to best suit the Company's requirements.
The Company leased two adjacent facilities aggregating approximately 57,000 square feet in Irvine, California, under separate lease agreements where manufacturing was held. The Company exited one of these leases in December 2014 and the

other lease in April 2015. The Company's Rosmalen facility is an administrative office of approximately 2,900 square feet with lease expiration in December 2015 and renewal at its option.
(b) Employment Agreements and Retention Plan
On February 1, 2014, the Company entered into new employment agreements with certain of its executive officers under which payment and benefits would become payable in the event of termination by the Company for any reason other than cause, death or disability or termination by the employee for good reason (collectively, an “Involuntary Termination”) prior to, upon or following a change in control of the Company. The severance payment will generally be in a range of six to eighteen months of the employee’s then current salary for an Involuntary Termination prior to a change in control of the Company, and will generally be in a range of eighteen to twenty-four months of the employee’s then current salary for an Involuntary Termination upon or following a change in control of the Company.
(c) Legal Matters
We are from time to time involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to a medical device business. These matters may include product liability, intellectual property, employment, and other general claims. Such cases and claims may raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of each particular case or claim, the jurisdiction in which each suit is brought, and differences in applicable law. We accrue for contingent liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or as additional information becomes available.

LifePort Sciences LLC v. Endologix, Inc.
On December 28, 2012, LifePort Sciences, LLC ("LifePort") filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court, District of Delaware, alleging that certain of our products infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 5,489,295, 6,117,167, 6,302,906, 5,993,481 and 5,676,696, which are alleged to be owned by LifePort. LifePort is seeking an unspecified amount of monetary damages for sale of our products and injunctive relief. We do not believe that we infringe on any of these patents and we intend to vigorously defend against this matter. The case is currently scheduled for trial in April 2016. We do believe, however, that the outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in order to avoid further legal costs and diversion of management resources, it is reasonably possible that we may reach a settlement with LifePort, which could result in a liability. However, we cannot presently estimate the amount, or range, of reasonably possible losses due to the nature of this potential litigation settlement.

9. Contingently Issuable Common Stock
On October 27, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nepal Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Nellix, Inc. ("Nellix"), certain of Nellix’s stockholders named therein and Essex Woodlands Health Ventures, Inc., as representative of the former Nellix stockholders. On December 10, 2010 (the “Nellix Closing Date”), the Company completed the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into Nellix pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The purchase price consisted of 3.2 million shares of the Company's common stock, issuable to the former Nellix stockholders as of the Nellix Closing Date, then representing a value of $19.4 million. Under the agreement, additional payments, solely in the form of shares of the Company's common stock (the “Contingent Payment”), could be made upon the achievement of a revenue milestone and a regulatory approval milestone (collectively, the “Nellix Milestones”).
Under the merger agreement, the ultimate value of each Contingent Payment would be determined on the date that each Nellix Milestone is achieved. The number of issuable shares would be established using an applicable per share price, which is subject to a ceiling and/or floor, resulting at the closing of the merger in a potential maximum of 10.2 million shares issuable upon the achievement of the Nellix Milestones. As of the Closing Date, the aggregate fair value of the cash Contingent Payment was estimated to be $28.2 million.
The Merger Agreement provides that, in addition to the shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issued to the former Nellix stockholders at the closing of the Merger, the former Nellix stockholders were entitled to receive shares of the Common Stock if the Company’s sales of a Nellix product (the “Nellix Product”) outside of the United States exceeded $10.0 million within a certain time period following the Company’s receipt of CE mark approval for the Nellix Product

(the “OUS Milestone”). The aggregate dollar value of the shares of the Common Stock to be issued upon achievement of the OUS Milestone ranged from a high of $24.0 million, or 6.9 million shares, to a low of $10.0 million, or 1.3 million shares. The price per share of the Common Stock to be issued upon achievement of the OUS Milestone was subject to a floor of $3.50 per share and a ceiling of $7.50 per share.
On June 17, 2014, the Company announced its achievement of the OUS Milestone and the issuance of an aggregate of 2.7 million unregistered shares of the Common Stock (the “OUS Milestone Shares”), plus an amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, to the former Nellix stockholders. The Company offered and sold the OUS Milestone Shares in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The former Nellix stockholders previously gave representations to the Company regarding their investment intent, experience, financial sophistication, access to information regarding the Company and certain other matters to support the Company’s reasonable belief that it could rely upon the foregoing exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No underwriting discounts or commissions were or will be paid in conjunction with the issuance of the OUS Milestone Shares. The Company previously filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-171639) (the “Form S-3”) for the purpose of registering for resale shares of the Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including the OUS Milestone Shares. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Form S-3 effective on January 18, 2011.
In addition, if the Company receives approval from the FDA to sell the Nellix Product in the United States (the “PMA Milestone”), the Company will issue additional shares of the Common Stock to the former stockholders of Nellix. The dollar value of the shares of the Common Stock to be issued upon achievement of the PMA Milestone will be equal to $15.0 million (less the dollar value of certain cash payments and other deductions). The price per share of the shares of the Common Stock to be issued upon achievement of the PMA Milestone is subject to a stock price floor of $4.50 per share, but not subject to a stock price ceiling.
As of June 30, 2015 the Company's stock price last closed at $15.34 per share. Thus, had the PMA Milestone been achieved on June 30, 2015 the Contingent Payment would have comprised 0.9 million shares (based on the 30-day average closing stock price ending 5 days prior to the announcement), representing a value of $13.8 million.
The value of the Contingent Payment is derived using a discounted income approach model, with a range of probabilities and assumptions related to the timing and likelihood of achievement of the PMA Milestone (which include Level 3 inputs - see Note 3(e) and the Company's stock price (Level 1 input) as of the balance sheet date). These varying probabilities and assumptions and changes in the Company's stock price have required fair value adjustments of the Contingent Payment in periods subsequent to the Nellix Closing Date.
The Contingent Payment fair value will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis until milestone achievement occurs, or until the expiration of the "earn-out period," as defined within the Nellix purchase agreement. Adjustments to the fair value of the Contingent Payment are recognized within other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

10. Income Tax Expense
The Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision for interim periods. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The Company's ETR was (0.5)% and (0.7)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.  The Company's ETR for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 34% primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses (including the Nellix Contingent Payment), state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and the impact of a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

The Company has evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of its deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of future taxable income, and has determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be

realized in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against substantially all deferred tax assets. If/when the Company determines that it will be able to realize some portion or all of its deferred tax assets, an adjustment to its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets would have the effect of increasing net income in the period(s) such determination is made.

Overview
Our Business
Our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility is located in Irvine, California. We develop, manufacture, market, and sell innovative medical devices for the treatment of aortic disorders. Our principal products are intended for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms ("AAA"). Our AAA products are built on one of two platforms: (a) traditional minimally-invasive endovascular repair ("EVAR") or (b) endovascular sealing (“EVAS”), our innovative solution for sealing the aneurysm sac while maintaining blood flow through two blood flow lumens.
We sell our products through our direct U.S. and European sales forces and third-party international distributors and agents in other parts of the world.

Recent Highlights of Our Product Development Initiatives, Clinical Trials and Regulatory Approvals

Nellix
On December 10, 2010, we completed our acquisition of Nellix. Using the technology we acquired in the Nellix acquisition, we developed the Nellix EVAS System, a next-generation device, to treat infrarenal AAA. We have the following trials in process to build independent and collective clinical and economic evidence of clinical safety and effectiveness:

EVAS FORWARD IDE - Pivotal clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Nellix EVAS System. The study is a prospective single arm registry which enrolled 179 patients at centers in the U.S. and Europe. In November 2014, we completed enrollment in the EVAS FORWARD IDE. The patients in this study will be followed for one-year, after which we will submit the final module of the PMA to the FDA. FDA approval is anticipated by the end of 2016.
EVAS FORWARD Global Registry - This study is designed to provide real world clinical results to demonstrate the effectiveness and broad applicability of the Nellix EVAS System. This registry is designed to include 300 patients enrolled in up to 30 international centers. The first patient in the registry was treated in October 2013. The study utilizes an independent core lab and includes follow-up to five years. In September 2014, we announced completion of patient enrollment in the Nellix EVAS FORWARD Global Registry.
     
AFX

In February 2014, we launched a new proximal extension in the U.S., VELA, designed to be used in conjunction with our AFX bifurcated device. VELA features a circumferential graft line marker and controlled delivery system that enable predictable deployment and final positional adjustments. We began a commercial introduction of VELA in Europe in January 2015.
In September 2014, we announced a new clinical study called LEOPARD (Looking at EVAR Outcomes by Primary Analysis of Randomized Data). The study will provide a real-world comparison of the AFX system versus other commercially available EVAR devices. The LEOPARD study is designed to randomize and enroll up to 800 patients at 80 leading centers throughout the United States and commenced in the first quarter of 2015. The centers will be a mix of our current and new customers, with each investigator selecting one competitive device to randomize against AFX. The LEOPARD study is being led by an independent steering committee of leading physicians who will be involved with the study and responsible for presenting the results over the five-year follow-up period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. While management believes these estimates are reasonable and consistent, they are by their very nature, estimates of amounts that will depend on future events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. Our Audit Committee periodically reviews our significant accounting policies.
For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no material changes in any of our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The $5.5 million increase in cost of goods sold was driven by our revenue increase of $1.2 million and $4.3 million inventory reserve in the second quarter of 2015.

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to 61.1% from 74.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in cost of goods sold, and corresponding decrease to gross margin, is largely due to a $4.3 million increase in the reserve for product inventory related to our global transition to DURAPLY™ ePTFE Graft Material for the AFX® Endovascular AAA System, a reserve for the current AFX product in anticipation of FDA approval of AFX2 by the end of 2015 and a provision for Nellix inventory that will become obsolete due to quality and process improvements. Gross margin is also impacted by product mix with a greater proportion of sales from Nellix which has a higher cost to produce compared to AFX.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes interest expense associated with our convertible note of $3.0 million, foreign currency gains of $0.7 million and a non-cash expense of $0.2 million related to the fair value of the Nellix contingent consideration. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes $8.0 million non-cash income which was related to the fair value of the Nellix contingent consideration. Partially offsetting this fair value adjustment is interest expense associated with our convertible notes of $2.8 million.

Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities was $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to cash used in operating activities of $10.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash usage was primarily due to (i) funding the net loss of $24.2 million, (ii) an increase in accounts receivable and other receivables of $3.2 million and (iii) a decrease in accrued payroll of $1.7 million. These increases in cash usage were partially offset by non-cash stock-based compensation of $4.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.9 million, an increase in accounts payable of $2.7 million and non-cash accretion of interest on convertible note of $1.7 million. Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $10.2 million and consisted of (i) a change in the fair value of the Nellix contingent consideration of $8.0 million and (ii) inventory purchases of $8.8 million, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $3.9 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our cash collections from customers totaled $73.9 million and $70.9 million, respectively, representing 97.0% and 99.0% of reported revenue for the same periods.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $22.4 million, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $54.3 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by investing activities consisted of $62.7 million in maturities of marketable securities, offset by $3.1 million used for machinery and equipment purchases and $37.1 million used to purchase marketable securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash used in investing was $54.3 million and consisted of $5.7 million used for machinery and equipment purchases and $74.1 million used to purchase marketable debt securities; offset by $25.6 million in maturities of marketable securities.

Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to cash used in financing activities $1.1 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 cash provided by financing activities consisted of $4.3 million from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from sale of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan, offset by $0.3 million used to pay minimum tax withholdings on behalf of employees for restricted stock units vested during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds of $2.5 million from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan, offset by $1.4 million used to pay minimum tax withholdings on behalf of employees for restricted stock units vested during the period.

Future Capital Requirements
We believe that the future growth of our business will depend upon our ability to successfully develop new technologies for the treatment of aortic disorders and successfully bring these technologies to market. We expect to incur significant expenditures in completing product development and clinical trials for the Nellix System.
The timing and amount of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the need for working capital to support our sales growth;
the need for additional capital to fund future development programs;
the need for additional capital to fund our sales force expansion;
the need for additional capital to fund strategic acquisitions;
our requirements for additional facility space or manufacturing capacity;
our requirements for additional information technology infrastructure and systems; and
adverse outcomes from potential litigation and the cost to defend such litigation.
 
We believe that our world-wide cash resources are adequate to operate our business. We presently have several operating subsidiaries and branches outside of the U.S. As of June 30, 2015, these subsidiaries and branches hold an aggregate $6.8 million in foreign bank accounts to fund their local operations. A portion of these balances relate to undistributed earnings, and are deemed by management to be permanently reinvested in the corresponding country in which our subsidiary operates. Management has no present or planned intention to repatriate foreign earnings into the U.S. However, in the event that we required additional funds in the U.S. and had to repatriate any foreign earnings to meet those needs, we would then need to accrue, and ultimately pay, incremental income tax expenses on such “deemed dividend,” unless we then had sufficient net operating losses to offset this potential tax liability.

In the event we require additional financing in the future, it may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Even if we are able to obtain financing, it may cause substantial dilution (in the case of an equity financing), or may contain burdensome restrictions on the operation of our business (in the case of debt financing). If we are not able to obtain required financing, we may need to curtail our operations and/or our planned product development.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (except for operating leases) that provide financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support, or involve derivatives. In addition, we have no arrangements that may expose us to liability that are not expressly reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2015, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as "structured finance" or "special purpose entities," established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not subject to any material financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.


Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We do not believe that we currently have material exposure to interest rate or foreign currency transaction risks.

Interest Rate and Market Risk. We have investments in U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate bonds and other debt securities. As a result, we are exposed to potential loss from market risks that may occur as a result of changes in interest rates, changes in credit quality of the issuer or otherwise.

We generally place our marketable security investments in high quality credit instruments, as specified in our investment policy guidelines. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in an approximate $27 thousand increase in the fair value of our investments as of June 30, 2015. We believe, however, that the conservative nature of our investments mitigates our interest rate exposure, and our investment policy limits the amount of our credit exposure to any one issue, issuer (with the exception of U.S. agency obligations) and type of instrument. We do not expect any material loss from our marketable security investments and therefore believe that our potential interest rate exposure is limited. We intend to hold the majority of our investments to maturity, in accordance with our business plans.

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. We are averse to principal loss and try to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk, and reinvestment risk. We attempt to mitigate default risk by investing in only high credit quality securities and by positioning our portfolio to appropriately respond to a significant reduction in the credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor.

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates on the BOA Credit Facility. All outstanding amounts under the BOA Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR, plus 2.50%, which is payable on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2015 and through termination on July 21, 2015, we had no amounts outstanding under the Wells Credit Facility. If we draw down the BOA Credit Facility, we may be exposed to market risk due to changes in the rate at which interest accrues.

Our Senior Notes bear fixed interest rates, and therefore, would not be subject to interest rate risk. The Capped Call transactions are derivative instruments that qualify for classification within stockholders’ equity because they meet an exemption from mark-to-market derivative accounting. The settlement amounts for the capped call transactions are each determined based upon the difference between a strike price and a traded price of the Company’s common stock.

Foreign Currency Transaction Risk. While a majority of our business is denominated in the U.S. dollar, a portion of our revenue and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and the Euro or the British Pound Sterling may affect our results of operations and the period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are caused by transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and must be remeasured at each balance sheet date or upon settlement. Foreign currency transaction realized and unrealized gains and losses resulted in approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million of gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, primarily related to intercompany payables and receivables associated with our European operations. We expect to reduce our exposure through future settlements.
 
Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and to ensure that

26


information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the second quarter of 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
