NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Notes to Financial Statements

In this report, “Stereotaxis”, the “Company”, “Registrant”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Stereotaxis, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Epoch^®, Niobe^®, Odyssey^®, Odyssey Cinema™, Vdrive^®, Vdrive Duo™, V-CAS™, V-Loop™, V-Sono™, V-CAS Deflect™, QuikCAS™, Cardiodrive^®, and Pegasus™ are trademarks of Stereotaxis, Inc. All other trademarks that appear in this report are the property of their respective owners.

1. Description of Business

Stereotaxis designs, manufactures, and markets the Epoch^® Solution, an advanced remote robotic navigation system for use in a hospital’s interventional surgical suite or “interventional lab”, that we believe revolutionizes the treatment of arrhythmias and coronary artery disease by enabling enhanced safety, efficiency, and efficacy for catheter-based or interventional procedures. The Epoch Solution is comprised of the Niobe^® ES Magnetic Navigation System (“Niobe ES system”), Odyssey^® Information Management Solution (“Odyssey Solution”), and the Vdrive^® Robotic Navigation System (“Vdrive system”) and related devices.

The Niobe ES system is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image-guided delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guidewire, resulting in improved navigation, efficient procedures, and reduced X-ray exposure.

In addition to the Niobe ES system and its components, Stereotaxis has also developed the Odyssey Solution, which consolidates all lab information, enabling doctors to focus on the patient for optimal procedure efficiency. The platform also features a remote viewing and recording capability called the Odyssey Cinema™ system, an innovative system delivering synchronized content for optimized workflow, advanced care, and improved productivity. This tool includes an archiving capability that allows clinicians to store and replay entire procedures or segments of procedures. This information can be accessed from locations throughout the hospital’s local area network and over the global Odyssey Network, providing physicians with a tool for clinical collaboration, remote consultation, and training.

Our Vdrive system provides navigation and stability for diagnostic and therapeutic devices designed to improve interventional procedures. The Vdrive system complements the Niobe ES system’s control of therapeutic catheters for fully remote procedures and enables single-operator workflow. It is sold as two options, the Vdrive system and the Vdrive Duo™ system. In addition to the Vdrive system and the Vdrive Duo system, we also manufacture and market various disposable components which can be manipulated by these systems.

We promote the full Epoch Solution in a typical hospital implementation, subject to regulatory approvals or clearances. The full Epoch Solution implementation requires a hospital to agree to an upfront capital payment and recurring payments. The upfront capital payment typically includes equipment and installation charges. The recurring payments typically include disposable costs for each procedure, equipment service costs beyond the warranty period, and software licenses. In hospitals where the full Epoch Solution has not been implemented, equipment upgrade or expansion may be implemented upon purchase of the necessary components. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has an installed base of 129 Niobe ES systems.

The core components of Stereotaxis’ systems have received regulatory clearance in the United States, European Union, Canada, China, Japan and various other countries. We have received regulatory clearance, licensing and/or CE Mark approvals necessary for us to market the Vdrive and Vdrive Duo systems with the V-CAS, V-Loop and V-Sono devices in the U.S., Canada and European Union. The V-CAS Deflect catheter advancement system has been CE Marked for sale in the European Union. We have received Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance and the CE Mark necessary for us to market our suite of Pegasus™ coronary peripheral guidewires in the United States and Europe.

Since our inception, we have generated significant losses. As of June 30, 2016, we have incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $470.6 million. In 2016, the Company plans to continue developing the Niobe ES system with the goal of furthering clinical adoption and new system placements. We expect to incur additional losses in 2016 as we continue the development and commercialization of our products, conduct our research and development activities, advance new products into clinical development from our existing research programs and fund additional sales and marketing initiatives. During 2016, we will continue to monitor operating expenses and make additional investments in certain targeted areas.

Our existing cash, cash equivalents, and borrowing facilities may not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital equipment requirements through the next 12 months, which would require us to obtain additional financing. We may be required to raise capital or pursue other financing strategies to continue our operations. Until we can generate significant cash flow from our operations, we expect to continue to fund our operations with cash resources primarily generated from the proceeds of our past and future public offerings, private sales of our equity securities, and loans collateralized by working capital and equipment. We continue to explore financing alternatives, which may include the sale of equity securities or non-core assets, strategic collaboration agreements, debt financings, or distribution rights. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of our utilization of capital, which will depend on a number of factors outside of our control.

We cannot assure that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or that such financing will not be dilutive to our stockholders. If adequate funds are not available to us, we could be required to delay development or commercialization of new products, to license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize ourselves, or to reduce the sales, marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operational results. In addition, we could be required to cease operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Stereotaxis, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, they include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016 or for future operating periods.

These interim financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 11, 2016.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value of such amounts reported at the applicable balance sheet dates approximates fair value. See Note 9 for disclosure of the fair value of debt.

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities, including warrants, at fair value on a recurring basis. General accounting principles for fair value measurement established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). See Note 11 for additional details.

Revenue and Costs of Revenue

The Company accounts for revenue using Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”).

ASC 605-25 permits management to estimate the selling price of undelivered components of a bundled sale for which it is unable to establish vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”). This requires management to record revenue for certain elements of a transaction even though it might not have delivered other elements of the transaction, for which it was unable to meet the requirements for establishing VSOE or TPE. The Company believes that the guidance significantly improves the reporting of these types of transactions to more closely reflect the underlying economic circumstances. This guidance also prohibits the use of the residual method for allocating revenue to the various elements of a transaction and requires that the revenue be allocated proportionally based on the relative estimated selling prices.

Under our revenue recognition policy, a portion of revenue for Niobe systems, Vdrive systems and certain Odyssey systems is recognized upon delivery, provided that title has passed, there are no uncertainties regarding acceptance, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized for other types of Odyssey systems upon completion of installation, since there are no qualified third party installers. When installation is the responsibility of the customer, revenue from system sales is recognized upon shipment since these arrangements do not include an installation element or right of return privileges. The Company does not recognize revenue in situations in which inventory remains at a Stereotaxis warehouse or in situations in which title and risk of loss have not transferred to the customer. Amounts collected prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are reflected as deferred revenue. Revenue from services and license fees, whether sold individually or as a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable arrangement, is deferred and amortized over the service or license fee period, which is typically one year. Revenue from services is derived primarily from the sale of annual product maintenance plans. We recognize revenue from disposable device sales or accessories upon shipment and establish an appropriate reserve for returns. The return reserve, which is applicable only to disposable devices, is estimated based on historical experience which is periodically reviewed and updated as necessary. In the past, changes in estimate have had only a de minimis effect on revenue recognized in the period. We believe that the estimate is not likely to change significantly in the future.

Costs of systems revenue include direct product costs, installation labor and other costs, estimated warranty costs, and initial training and product maintenance costs. These costs are recorded at the time of sale. Costs of disposable revenue include direct product costs and estimated warranty costs and are recorded at the time of sale. Cost of revenue from services and license fees are recorded when incurred.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and restricted stock units and for its employee stock purchase plan in accordance with the provisions of general accounting principles for share-based payments. These accounting principles require the determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation vests.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights at the date of grant. The resulting compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally four years. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. Restricted shares granted to employees are valued at the fair market value at the date of grant. The Company amortizes the fair market value to expense over the service period. If the shares are subject to performance objectives, the resulting compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated vesting period and is subject to adjustment based on the actual achievement of objectives.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share (“EPS”)

Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Numerator:
Numerator for basic EPS	$	(2,333,116	)	$	(1,538,687	)	$	(4,607,417	)	$	(4,674,268	)

Numerator for diluted EPS	$	(2,333,116	)	$	(1,538,687	)	$	(4,607,417	)	$	(4,674,268	)

Denominator:
Denominator for basic EPS—weighted average shares		21,793,583			21,007,103			21,702,597			20,871,244

Denominator for diluted EPS—weighted average shares		21,793,583			21,007,103			21,702,597			20,871,244

Basic EPS	$	(0.11	)	$	(0.07	)	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.22	)
Diluted EPS	$	(0.11	)	$	(0.07	)	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.22	)

In addition, the Company did not include any portion of unearned restricted shares, outstanding options, stock appreciation rights or warrants in the calculation of diluted loss per common share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. The application of the two-class method of computing earnings per share under general accounting principles for participating securities is not applicable during these periods because the Company’s unearned restricted shares do not contractually participate in its losses.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 686,383 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and stock appreciation rights at a weighted average exercise price of $8.66 per share, 2,040,365 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $3.44 per share, and 1,212,496 shares of unvested restricted share units.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This amendment is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, forfeitures, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company) and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (ASC 842)”, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018 (January 1, 2019 for the Company), with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes”. The amendments in this Update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this Update. This standard is effective for public companies for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company), and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted this accounting standard update in 2015 and there was no impact to the results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” regarding the subsequent measurement of inventory as part of its Simplification Initiative. This standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (January 1, 2017 for the Company), including interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update should be applied prospectively, and early application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting standard update but do not expect this to significantly impact the results of operations, financial conditions, cash flows, or financial statement presentation.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. To simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from that debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update), which adds the SEC staff’s guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with lines of credit to the Codification. The SEC staff stated it will not object to an entity presenting the costs of securing line-of-credit arrangements as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings. The Standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 (January 1, 2016 for the Company), and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We have adopted this accounting standard update. The Company’s balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 included $291,060 and $349,018, respectively, of deferred financing costs (excluding $75,068 and $25,960, respectively, related to line-of-credit arrangements) that were, under the new guidance, presented as a direct reduction to debt liabilities.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, to communicate amendments to FASB Account Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The ASU requires management to evaluate relevant conditions, events and certain management plans that are known or reasonably knowable as of the evaluation date when determining whether substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods. Management will have to make certain disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists and when it plans to alleviate substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim reporting periods starting in the first quarter of 2017 (December 31, 2016 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting standard update on our financial statement disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which converges the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s current standards on revenue recognition. The standard provides companies with a single model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue guidance. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The standard permits companies to either apply the adoption to all periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption through a cumulative adjustment. In April 2015, the FASB issued an exposure draft related to the deferral of the effective date, which would delay our effective date one year. Therefore, the standard would be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (January 1, 2018 for the Company). We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting standard update on our financial statements and disclosures and have not concluded on an adoption method.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation.

Revolving Line of Credit

The Company has had a working capital line of credit with its primary lender, Silicon Valley Bank, since 2004. The revolving line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The maximum available under the line is $10.0 million subject to the value of collateralized assets. The Company is required under the revolving line of credit to maintain its primary operating account and the majority of its cash and investment balances in accounts with its primary lender. The facility was amended on March 27, 2015, extending the maturity date to March 31, 2018 and on May 10, 2016, the Company and the primary lender agreed to modify certain financial covenants. The amended agreement requires the Company to maintain a liquidity ratio greater than 1.50:1.00, excluding certain short term advances from the calculation, and a minimum tangible net worth of not less than (no worse than) negative $24.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017; and not less than (no worse than) negative $24.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $3.0 million outstanding under the revolving line of credit. Draws on the line of credit are made based on the borrowing capacity one week in arrears. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had a borrowing capacity of $4.0 million based on the Company’s collateralized assets, including amounts already drawn. As such, the Company has the ability to borrow an additional $1.0 million under the revolving line of credit at June 30, 2016. The Company’s total liquidity as of June 30, 2016, was $4.9 million which included cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 million. The $3.0 million outstanding under the revolving line of credit was repaid shortly after June 30, 2016.

Healthcare Royalty Partners Debt

In November 2011, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Healthcare Royalty Partners. Under the agreement the Company borrowed from Healthcare Royalty Partners $15 million. The Company was permitted to borrow up to an additional $5 million in the aggregate based on the achievement by the Company of certain milestones related to Niobe ES system sales in 2012. On August 8, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe ES system sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. On January 31, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe ES system sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The loan will be repaid through, and secured by, royalties payable to the Company under its Development, Alliance and Supply Agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. (the “Biosense Agreement”). The Biosense Agreement relates to the development and distribution of magnetically enabled catheters used with Stereotaxis’ Niobe ES system in cardiac ablation procedures. Under the terms of the agreement, Healthcare Royalty Partners will be entitled to receive 100% of all royalties due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement until the loan is repaid. The loan is a full recourse loan, matures on December 31, 2018, and bears interest at an annual rate of 16% payable quarterly with royalties received under the Biosense Agreement. If the payments received by the Company under the Biosense Agreement are insufficient to pay all amounts of interest due on the loan, then such deficiency will increase the outstanding principal amount on the loan. After the loan obligation is repaid, the royalties under the Biosense Agreement will again be paid to the Company. The loan is also secured by certain assets and intellectual property of the Company. The agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The use of payments due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement was approved by our primary lender.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held and to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock having priority rights as dividends and the conditions of the revolving line of credit agreement. Since the Company’s inception, no dividends have been declared or paid.

Controlled Equity Offering

The Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering^SM sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) in May 2014, as amended on March 26, 2015, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), as agent and/or principal, pursuant to which the Company could issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $18.0 million. The Company will pay Cantor a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from any common stock sold through the Sales Agreement.

There were no proceeds from the Controlled Equity Offering during the three months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, $13.8 million of common stock remained available to be sold under this facility, subject to certain conditions as specified in the Sales Agreement. Due to the Company’s transfer to the OTCQX^® Best Market on August 4, 2016, the Company’s ability to generate proceeds from the sale of stock under the Controlled Equity Offering in the future may be limited or prohibited.

Offerings of Common Stock

On October 8, 2015 the Company announced the results of its previously announced offering of transferable subscription warrants (the “Warrants Offering) to holders of record of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Warrants Offering, subscription warrants to purchase 267,256 shares of common stock were exercised, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $293,982.

Stock Award Plans

The Company has various stock plans that permit the Company to provide incentives to employees and directors of the Company in the form of equity compensation. In August 2012, the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders. This plan replaced the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan which expired on March 25, 2012.

On June 5, 2013, June 10, 2014, and on May 24, 2016 the shareholders approved amendments to the Plan, which were previously approved and adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under each of the amendments on June 5, 2013 and June 10, 2014, the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan was increased by one million shares. The amendment on May 24, 2016 increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 1.5 million shares. At June 30, 2016, the Company had 1,508,565 remaining shares of the Company’s common stock to provide for current and future grants under its various equity plans.

At June 30, 2016, the total compensation cost related to options, stock appreciation rights and non-vested stock granted to employees under the Company’s stock award plans but not yet recognized was approximately $1.9 million, net of estimated forfeitures of approximately $0.9 million. This cost will be amortized over a period of up to four years over the underlying estimated service periods and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures and anticipated vesting periods.

A summary of the option and stock appreciation rights activity for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 is as follows:


	Number of Options/SARs			Range of Exercise Price	Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share
Outstanding, December 31, 2015		706,494		$1.45 - $116.40	$	9.34
Granted		1,000		$1.55	$	1.55
Exercised		—		—		—
Forfeited		(21,111	)	$1.74 - $99.00	$	30.82

Outstanding, June 30, 2016		686,383		$1.45 - $116.40	$	8.66

A summary of the restricted stock unit activity for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 is as follows:

11. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents and warrants. General accounting principles for fair value measurement established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1:

Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Values are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or other model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3:

Values are generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Accounting Standards Codification, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.


	Fair Value Measurement Using
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Instruments (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets at June 30, 2016:
Cash equivalents	$	74,346		74,346		—		—

Total assets at fair value	$	74,346		74,346		—		—

Liabilities at June 30, 2016:
Warrants issued May 2012	$	209,156		—		—		209,156
Warrants issued August 2013	$	418,310		—		—		418,310

Total liabilities at fair value:	$	627,466		—		—		627,466

Assets at December 31, 2015:
Cash equivalents	$	524,083		524,083		—		—

Total assets at fair value	$	524,083		524,083		—		—

Liabilities at December 31, 2015:
Warrants issued May 2012	$	143,681		—		—		143,681
Warrants issued August 2013	$	650,449		—		—		650,449

Total liabilities at fair value:	$	794,130		—		—		794,130

Level 1

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash equivalents invested in money market funds in the amount of $74,346 and $524,083 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. These assets are classified as Level 1 as described above and total interest income recorded for these investments was insignificant during both the six month periods ended June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2015. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 during the period ended June 30, 2016.

Level 2

The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 2.

Level 3

In conjunction with the Company’s May 2012 and August 2013 financing transactions, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Due to the provisions included in the warrant agreements, the warrants did not meet the exemptions for equity classification and as such, the Company accounts for these warrants as derivative instruments. The calculated fair value of the warrants is classified as a liability and is periodically re-measured with any changes in value recognized in “Other expense” in the Statements of Operations.

The remaining warrants from the May 2012 transaction expire in May 2018 and were revalued as of June 30, 2016 using the following assumptions: 1) volatility of 124.33%; 2) risk-free interest rate of 0.58%; and 3) a closing stock price of $0.98.

The remaining warrants from the August 2013 expire in November 2018 and were revalued as of June 30, 2016 using the following assumptions: 1) volatility of 113.17%; 2) risk-free interest rate of 0.58%; and 3) a closing stock price of $0.98.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrants is volatility. Significant increases (decreases) in the volatility in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) liability fair value measurements.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the six month period ended June 30, 2016:


	Warrants issued May 2012		Warrants issued August 2013			Total Liabilities
Balance at beginning of period	$	143,681	$	650,449		$	794,130
Issues		—		—			—
Settlements		—		—			—
Revaluation		65,475		(232,139	)		(166,664	)

Balance at end of period	$	209,156	$	418,310		$	627,466

The Company currently does not have derivative instruments to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations or other business risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. All derivative financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value.

12. Product Warranty Provisions

The Company’s standard policy is to warrant all Niobe, Odyssey, and Vdrive systems against defects in material or workmanship for one year following installation. The Company’s estimate of costs to service the warranty obligations is based on historical experience and current product performance trends. A regular review of warranty obligations is performed to determine the adequacy of the reserve and adjustments are made to the estimated warranty liability as appropriate.

Accrued warranty, which is included in other accrued liabilities, consists of the following:


	June 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Warranty accrual, beginning of the fiscal period	$	316,835		$	364,548
Accrual adjustment for product warranty		48,064			171,384
Payments made		(106,449	)		(219,097	)

Warranty accrual, end of the fiscal period	$	258,450		$	316,835

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company at times becomes a party to claims in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

14. Subsequent Events

On August 2, 2016, Stereotaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) received a determination letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) notifying the Company that its common stock would be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and that suspension of trading in the shares would be effective at the open of business on August 4, 2016. The determination letter also indicated that Nasdaq would complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the Securities Exchange Commission, after applicable appeal periods have lapsed. The Panel made the determination to delist the Company’s common stock because the Company did not demonstrate compliance with the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement for a period of ten consecutive trading days by August 1, 2016, as required by a decision previously issued by the Panel on May 2, 2016. The Company’s shares of common stock commenced trading on the OTCQX^® Best Market on August 4, 2016 under the Company’s current ticker symbol of “STXS.”

Overview

Stereotaxis designs, manufactures, and markets the Epoch^® Solution, an advanced cardiology instrument-control system for use in a hospital’s interventional surgical suite, to enhance the treatment of arrhythmias and coronary artery disease. The Epoch Solution is comprised of the Niobe^® ES system, Odyssey^® solution, and the Vdrive^® system. We believe that the Epoch Solution represents a revolutionary technology in the interventional surgical suite, or “interventional lab” and has the potential to become the standard of care for a broad range of complex cardiology procedures. We also believe that our technology represents an important advance in the ongoing trend toward digital instrumentation in the interventional lab and provides substantial, clinically-important improvements and cost efficiencies over manual interventional methods, which require years of physician training and often result in long and unpredictable procedure times and sub-optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Stereotaxis also has developed the Odyssey Solution, which consolidates all lab information enabling doctors to focus on the patient for optimal procedure efficiency. The system also features a remote viewing and recording capability called Odyssey Cinema, an innovative solution delivering synchronized content for optimized workflow, advanced care, and improved productivity. This tool includes an archiving capability that allows clinicians to store and replay entire procedures or segments of procedures. This information can be accessed from locations throughout the hospital’s local area network and over the global Odyssey Network, providing physicians with a tool for clinical collaboration, remote consultation, and training. The Odyssey Solution may be acquired, in conjunction with a Niobe ES system or on a stand-alone basis, for installation in interventional labs and other locations where clinicians often desire the benefits of the Odyssey Solution that we believe can improve clinical workflows and related efficiencies.

Our Vdrive system provides navigation and stability for diagnostic and therapeutic devices designed to improve interventional procedures. The Vdrive system complements the Niobe ES system’s control of therapeutic catheters for fully remote procedures and enables single-operator workflow. It is sold as two options, the Vdrive system and the Vdrive Duo system. In addition to the Vdrive system and the Vdrive Duo system, we also manufacture and market various disposable components (V-Loop, V-Sono, V-CAS, and V-CAS Deflect) which can be manipulated by these systems.

We generate revenue from both the initial capital sale of the Niobe, Odyssey, and Vdrive systems as well as recurring revenue from the sale of our proprietary disposable devices, from ongoing license and service contracts, and from royalties paid to the Company by Biosense Webster for the sale of co-developed catheters.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

Revenue. Revenue decreased from $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of 19%. Revenue from the sale of systems decreased from $3.1 million to $0.9 million, a decrease of approximately 70%, primarily due to decreased system sales volumes across the Niobe, Odyssey, and Vdrive product lines. We recognized revenue of $0.3 million for Niobe system installations, $0.5 million for Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems, and $0.1 million for Vdrive system installations during the 2016 period. System revenue for the prior period included two Niobe systems, a total $1.0 million for Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems, and $0.2 million for Vdrive systems. Revenue from sales of disposable interventional devices, service and accessories increased to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of approximately 6% primarily driven by increased disposable sales volumes.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. As a percentage of our total revenue, overall gross margin increased to 86% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 70% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to a shift in mix from systems revenue to disposables, service and accessories revenue. Cost of revenue for systems sold decreased from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, driven by decreased system sales volumes across the Niobe, Odyssey, and Vdrive product lines. Gross margin for systems increased to 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 40% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to a change in product mix. Cost of revenue for disposables, service and accessories decreased to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, due to lower expenses incurred under service contracts in the current year period. Gross margin for disposables, service and accessories was 90% for the current quarter compared to 83% for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses have remained relatively consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2015 at $1.4 million.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased slightly from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include regulatory, clinical, finance, information systems, legal, general management and routine training expenses. General and administrative expenses have remained relatively consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2015 at $2.8 million.

Other Income. Other income represents the non-cash change in market value of certain warrants classified as a derivative and recorded as a current liability under general accounting principles for determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock.

Interest Expense. Interest expense has remained relatively consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2015 at $0.8 million.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

Revenue. Revenue decreased from $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 14%. Revenue from the sale of systems decreased from $5.9 million to $3.0 million, a decrease of approximately 49%, primarily due to decreased sales volumes across the Niobe, Odyssey, and Vdrive product lines. We recognized revenue on one Niobe system, a total of $1.4 million on Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems, and a total of $0.1 million on Vdrive system installations during the 2016 period. System revenue for the prior year period included four Niobe systems, a total of $1.5 million on Odyssey and Odyssey systems, and $0.5 million for Vdrive systems during the 2015 period. Revenue from sales of disposable interventional devices, service and accessories increased to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of approximately 2% due to higher service revenue in the current year.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 41%. As a percentage of our total revenue, overall gross margin increased to 80% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 71% during the same six month period of the prior year due to a shift in mix from system revenue to disposable, service and accessory revenue. Cost of revenue for systems sold decreased from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an decrease of approximately 54%, primarily due to decreased system sales volumes across Niobe, Odyssey, and Vdrive product lines. Gross margin for systems increased from 45% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to 51% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Cost of revenue for disposables, service and accessories decreased to $1.8 million during the 2016 period from $2.3 million during the 2015 period, resulting in an increase in gross margin to 87% from 82% between these periods driven by lower expenses incurred under service contracts in the current year period.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses have remained relatively consistent with the six months ended June 30, 2015 at $2.9 million.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased from $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 2%. This decrease was due to decreased headcount expenses and third party commissions in the current year period.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include regulatory, clinical, finance, information systems, legal, general management and training expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 3%. This decrease was primarily driven by lower headcount costs and changes in foreign currency.

Other Income. Other income represents the change in market value of certain warrants classified as a derivative and recorded as a current liability under general accounting principles for determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The primary drivers of fluctuations in this balance are changes in the Company’s stock price from one period to the next.

Interest Expense. Interest expense remained relatively consistent with the six months ended June 30, 2015 at $1.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to the liquid financial assets available to fund our business operations and pay for near-term obligations. These liquid financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2016 we had $3.9 million of cash and equivalents. We had a working capital deficit of $4.1 million and working capital of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The decrease in the working capital is due principally to the net losses incurred for the first six months of 2016.

The following table summarizes our cash flow by operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
Cash flow used in operating activities	$	(4,609	)	$	(4,204	)
Cash flow used in investing activities		—			(52	)
Cash flow provided by financing activities		2,874			615

Net cash used in operating activities. We used approximately $4.6 million and $4.2 million of cash for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by changes in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities. There were no purchases of equipment for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 and we used less than $0.1 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 for the purchase of equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities. We generated approximately $2.9 million of cash for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.6 million generated for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase in cash generated for the period ended June 30, 2016 was driven by borrowings against our revolving line of credit. The cash generated for the period ended June 30, 2015 was driven by proceeds from stock issued through the Controlled Equity Offering.

We may be required to raise capital or pursue other financing strategies to continue our operations. Until we can generate significant cash flow from our operations, we expect to continue to fund our operations with cash resources primarily generated from the proceeds of our past and future public offerings, private sales of our equity securities, and loans collateralized by working capital and equipment. We continue to explore financing alternatives, which may include the sale of equity securities or non-core assets, strategic collaboration agreements, debt financings or distribution rights. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of our utilization of capital, which will depend on a number of factors outside of our control.

Our existing cash, cash equivalents and borrowing facilities may not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital equipment requirements through the next 12 months, which would require us to obtain additional financing before that time. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that such financing will not be dilutive to our stockholders. If adequate funds are not available to us, we could be required to delay development or commercialization of new products, to license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize ourselves or to reduce the sales, marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we could be required to cease operations.

Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2016, our borrowing facilities were comprised of a revolving line of credit maintained with our primary lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as well as the Healthcare Royalty Partners debt discussed in the following sections.

Revolving Line of Credit

Healthcare Royalty Partners Debt

In November 2011, we entered into a loan agreement with Healthcare Royalty Partners. Under the agreement the Company borrowed from Healthcare Royalty Partners $15 million. The Company was permitted to borrow up to an additional $5 million in the aggregate based on the achievement by the Company of certain milestones related to Niobe ES system sales in 2012. On August 8, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe ES system sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. On January 31, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe ES system sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The loan will be repaid through, and secured by, royalties payable to the Company under its Development, Alliance and Supply Agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. (the “Biosense Agreement”). The Biosense Agreement relates to the development and distribution of magnetically enabled catheters used with Stereotaxis’ Niobe ES system in cardiac ablation procedures. Under the terms of the agreement, Healthcare Royalty Partners will be entitled to receive 100% of all royalties due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement until the loan is repaid. The loan is a full recourse loan, matures on December 31, 2018, and bears interest at an annual rate of 16% payable quarterly with royalties received under the Biosense Agreement. If the payments received by the Company under the Biosense Agreement are insufficient to pay all amounts of interest due on the loan, then such deficiency will increase the outstanding principal amount on the loan. After the loan obligation is repaid, royalties under the Biosense Agreement will again be paid to the Company. The loan is also secured by certain assets and intellectual property of the Company. The agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The use of payments due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement was approved by our primary lender.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held and to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock having priority rights as dividends and the conditions of the revolving line of credit agreement. No dividends have been declared or paid as of June 30, 2016.

Controlled Equity Offering

Offerings of Common Stock

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As a result, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could have arisen if we had engaged in these relationships.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the period covered by this report.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time to time in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these lawsuits and claims are uncertain, we do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

On August 4, 2016, trading in our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market was suspended as a result of a determination from Nasdaq to delist our common stock. On August 4, 2016, shares of our common stock commenced trading on the OTCQX^® Best Market. Trading of our shares on the over-the-counter markets could negatively impact the liquidity of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets, which could impair the value of your investment.

On August 2, 2016, we received a determination letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) notifying us that our common stock would be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and that suspension of trading in the shares would be effective at the open of business on August 4, 2016. The determination letter also indicated that Nasdaq would complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the Securities Exchange Commission, after applicable appeal periods have lapsed. The Panel made the determination to delist our common stock because we did not demonstrate compliance with the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement for a period of ten consecutive trading days by August 1, 2016, as required by a decision previously issued by the Panel on May 2, 2016. Our shares of common stock commenced trading on the OTCQX^® Best Market on August 4, 2016 under the Company’s existing ticker symbol of “STXS.”

The delisting of our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market could have negative consequences, including the potential loss of confidence by suppliers, customers and employees, the loss of investor interest and fewer business development opportunities. The trading of our common stock on the over-the-counter market, including the OTCQX, may adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, limit or prohibit the use of our Controlled Equity Offering program, limit our ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to registration statements on Form S-3) and adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations, which could harm our business or cause us to cease operations.

Furthermore, we can provide no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on the OTCQX^® Best Market in the future, whether broker-dealers will continue to agree to provide public quotes of our common stock on this market, or whether the trading volume of our common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market. Any such developments could impair the value of your investment.

Additional Risk Factors are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
