 NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

 

We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

 

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms "Viveve Medical," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" in this document refer to Viveve Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiaries.

VIVEVE MEDICAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.        The Company and Basis of Presentation

 

Viveve Medical, Inc. (“Viveve Medical”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) competes in the women’s health industry by marketing the Viveve System™ as a way to improve the overall sexual well-being and quality of life of women suffering from vaginal laxity.

 

Public Offering

 

On June 17, 2016, in connection with the closing of a public offering (the “June 2016 Offering”), we issued an aggregate of 3,105,000 shares of common stock, including the shares issued in connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, at a public offering price of $5.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $15,525,000. The net proceeds to the Company, after the deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $13,857,000.

 

Change of Corporate Domicile

 

On May 9, 2016 the Company filed the necessary Application for Authorization to Continue into Another Jurisdiction and Statutory Declaration with the Yukon registrar. On May 10, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to move its domicile from the Yukon Territory to Delaware. In connection with the incorporation in Delaware, the Company's stock now has a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Viveve Medical have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2016 or any future interim period.

 

2.         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Financial Statement Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Viveve, Inc. and Viveve BV. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016. Accordingly, the Company has revised the classification in the condensed consolidated balance sheet to report debt issuance costs as a contra debt liability as of December 31, 2015. This resulted in a decrease of $387,000 to the December 31, 2015 amounts reported as prepaid expenses and other current assets, total assets, note payable, total liabilities, and total liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

Reverse Stock Split

 

On April 15, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its common stock. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, (i) each 8 shares of outstanding common stock were reduced to one share of common stock; (ii) the number of shares of common stock into which each outstanding warrant or option to purchase common stock is exercisable were proportionately reduced on an 8-to-1 basis; and (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding warrant or option to purchase common stock were proportionately increased on a 1-to-8 basis. All of the share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-8 reverse stock split.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, any change in these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

  

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

 

To achieve profitable operations, the Company must successfully develop, manufacture, and market its products. There can be no assurance that any such products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed. These factors could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial results, financial position, and future cash flows.

 

The Company’s products may require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other international regulatory agencies prior to commencing commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will receive any of these required approvals. If the Company was denied such approvals or such approvals were delayed, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results, financial position and future cash flows.

 

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, product liability, and the need to obtain additional financing. The Company’s ultimate success is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to successfully develop and market its products.

 

The Company outsources the manufacture and repair of the Viveve System to a single contract manufacturer. Also, certain other components and materials that comprise the Viveve System are currently manufactured by a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers. A significant supply interruption or disruption in the operations of the contract manufacturer or these third-party suppliers would adversely impact the production of our products for a substantial period of time, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, two customers accounted for 92% of the Company’s revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, five customers accounted for 97% of the Company’s revenue.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, two customers accounted for 75% of the Company’s revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, four customers accounted for 90% of the Company’s revenue.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products, the Viveve System, single-use treatment tips and ancillary consumables. Revenue is recognized upon shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales of our products are subject to regulatory requirements that vary from country to country. The Company has regulatory clearance outside the U.S. and currently sells the Viveve System in Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Latin America.

 

The Company does not provide its customers with a contractual right of return.

 

Customer Advance Payments

 

From time to time, customers will pay for a portion of the products ordered in advance.  Upon receipt of such payments, the Company records the customer advance payment as a component of accrued liabilities.  The Company will remove the customer advance payment from accrued liabilities and revenue is recognized upon shipment of the product assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

Product Warranty

 

The Company’s products are generally subject to a one-year warranty, which provides for the repair, rework or replacement of products (at the Company’ option) that fail to perform within stated specification. The Company has assessed the historical claims and, to date, product warranty claims have not been significant. The Company will continue to assess the need to record a warranty accrual at the time of sale going forward.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss represents the changes in equity of an enterprise, other than those resulting from stockholder transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive loss may include certain changes in equity that are excluded from net loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s comprehensive loss is the same as its net loss. 

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For purposes of this calculation, stock options and warrants to purchase common stock and restricted common stock awards are considered common stock equivalents. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

The following securities were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the convergence of US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has issued several updates to the standard which i) defer the original effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017 (ASU 2015-14); ii) clarify the application of the principal versus agent guidance (ASU 2016-08); and iii) clarify the guidance on inconsequential and perfunctory promises and licensing (ASU 2016-10). In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, to address certain narrow aspects of the guidance including collectibility criterion, collection of sales taxes from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts. This issuance does not change the core principle of the guidance in the initial topic issued in May 2014. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

  

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods, with earlier adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016 and have reclassified our condensed consolidated balance sheets to comply with the new standard.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this pronouncement 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 pronouncement does not apply to inventory that is being measured using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method or the retail inventory method. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within the reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This guidance identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within the reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.        Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company recognizes and discloses the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value.

  

 

Level 1

Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Therefore, determining fair value for Level 1 investments generally does not require significant judgment, and the estimation is not difficult.

 

 

Level 2

Pricing is provided by third party sources of market information obtained through investment advisors. The Company does not adjust for or apply any additional assumptions or estimates to the pricing information received from its advisors.

 

 

Level 3

Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments involves the most management judgment and subjectivity.

 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

There were no financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value.

5.        Note Payable

  

On September 30, 2014, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended on February 19, 2015, May 14, 2015, November 30, 2015 and March 18, 2016 (collectively, the “2014 Loan Agreement”), with Pacific Western Bank (as successor in interest by merger to Square 1 Bank) (the “Lender”), pursuant to which we received a term loan in the amount of $5,000,000, funded in three tranches. The first tranche of $2,500,000 was provided to us on October 1, 2014 and proceeds of $500,000 from the second tranche were received on each of February 19, 2015, March 16, 2015 and April 6, 2015 for aggregate proceeds of $1,500,000.  The terms of the loan also required that the Company meet certain financial covenants and milestones in connection with the Company’s randomized, blinded and sham-controlled clinical trial in Europe and Canada (the “OUS Clinical Trial”), and on July 15, 2015 we received the final $1,000,000 of the term loan with a drawdown of funds from the third tranche.

 

In connection with the 2014 Loan Agreement, we entered into an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, dated September 30, 2014, pursuant to which a first priority security interest was created in all of our intellectual property, and we issued a 10-year warrant to the Lender for the purchase of 58,962 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price $4.24 per share, and pursuant to the first amendment to the 2014 Loan Agreement in February 2015, such number of shares to automatically increase in the event the Company fails to meet certain covenants. In connection with the second amendment to the 2014 Loan Agreement in May 2015, we issued a second 10-year warrant to the Lender to purchase a total of 3,125 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.96 per share. (See Note 7.)

 

On June 20, 2016, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2016 Loan Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to loan us up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 payable in two tranches of $7,500,000 and $2,500,000. The funding conditions for both tranches were satisfied as of the closing date, and therefore, the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 was provided to us on June 20, 2016. The proceeds received were used to repay the outstanding existing indebtedness under the 2014 Loan Agreement and the remaining balance will be used for working capital purposes and to fund general business requirements. The borrowings are repayable in interest only payments until July 1, 2017 and then 30 monthly equal installments of principal and interest. The term loan shall bear interest on the outstanding obligations under the loan at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Index Rate (i.e., the 30 day U.S. LIBOR rate reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 6.96%, determined as of the last day of each month, and (ii) 7.40%.

 

In connection with the 2016 Loan Agreement, we issued a 10-year warrant to the Lender to purchase a total of 100,402 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.98 per share. (See Note 7.)

 

All borrowings under the 2016 Loan Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including intellectual property.

 

The Company is also required to meet certain financial and other covenants in connection with the 2016 Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

6.         Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Lease

 

In January 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office and laboratory facilities. The lease agreement, as amended in January 2015, commenced in March 2012 and will terminate in March 2017. Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $109,000 and $101,000, respectively.

 

 As of June 30, 2016, future minimum payments under the lease are as follows (in thousands):

  

Year Ending December 31,

 Indemnification Agreements

 

The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with performance of services within the scope of the agreement, breach of the agreement by the Company, or noncompliance of regulations or laws by the Company, in all cases provided the indemnified party has not breached the agreement and/or the loss is not attributable to the indemnified party’s negligence or willful malfeasance. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these arrangements is not determinable. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.

 

Loss Contingencies

 

The Company is or has been subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates contingent liabilities, including threatened or pending litigation, for potential losses. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding in considered probable and the amount can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based upon the best information available. For potential losses for which there is a reasonable possibility (meaning the likelihood is more than remote but less than probable) that a loss exists, the Company will disclose an estimate of the potential loss or range of such potential loss or include a statement that an estimate of the potential loss cannot be made. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its estimates, which could materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the 2014 Loan Agreement entered into on September 30, 2014, the Company issued a warrant to purchase a total of 58,962 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.24 per share. The fair value of the warrant was recorded as debt issuance costs, presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a deduction from the carrying amount of the note payable, and was being amortized to interest expense over the loan term. The outstanding indebtedness was repaid in June 2016 from the proceeds of the new term loan in connection with the 2016 Loan Agreement and the remaining unamortized balance of debt issuance costs was recorded to interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $342,000 and $387,000, respectively, of interest expense relating to the debt issuance costs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $55,000 and $102,000, respectively, of interest expense relating to the debt issuance costs.

 

In conjunction with the second amendment to the 2014 Loan Agreement in May 2015, the Company issued a warrant to the lender to purchase a total of 3,125 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.96 per share. During the three and six months ended June 30 2015, the Company recorded $8,000 of interest expense relating to the debt issuance costs for this warrant. The debt issuance costs for this warrant were fully amortized as of September 30, 2015.

In April 2016, the Company issued a common stock warrant to a distributor to purchase a total of 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.08 per share. The warrant has a contractual life of ten years and is exercisable immediately in whole or in part, on or before ten years from the issuance date. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used were dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 72.1%, risk free interest rate of 1.78% and a contractual life of ten years. The fair value of the warrant was recorded as sales costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

In May 2016, the Company issued common stock warrants to nonemployee contractors to purchase a total of 5,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.74 per share. The warrants have a contractual life of five years and are exercisable immediately in whole or in part, on or before five years from the issuance date. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used were dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 61.6%, risk free interest rate of 1.20% and a contractual life of five years. The fair value of the warrants were recorded as clinical consulting costs, which are included in research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

In connection with the 2016 Loan Agreement entered into on June 20, 2016, the Company issued a warrant to purchase a total of 100,402 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.98 per share. The warrant has a contractual life of ten years and is exercisable immediately in whole or in part, on or before ten years from the issuance date. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant on the date of issuance to be $350,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used were dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 63.0%, risk free interest rate of 1.67% and a contractual life of ten years. The fair value of the warrant, along with other legal fees totaling $90,000, were recorded as debt issuance costs, presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 as a deduction from the carrying amount of the note payable, and will be amortized to interest expense over the loan term. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded no interest expense relating to the debt issuance costs because it was immaterial for the financial reporting period. As of June 30, 2016, the unamortized debt issuance cost was $440,000.

 

A total of 735 and 6,250 shares issuable pursuant to warrants issued in connection with the private offering on September 30, 2014 were exercised in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

 

A total of 5,157 and 1,094 shares issuable pursuant to warrants issued to two vendors in October 2014 were cancelled in 2015 and 2016, respectively, as the milestones related to these shares were not achieved.   

 

The stock-based compensation expense related to warrants issued was $20,000 and $162,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense related to warrants issued was $118,000 and $380,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

 

 

8.        Summary of Stock Options

 

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has issued equity awards in the form of stock options and restricted stock awards from three employee benefit plans. The plans include the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), the Viveve Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and the Company’s 2013 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2013 Plan”).

 

The 2005 Plan was adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by its stockholders. As of June 30, 2016, 2,520 shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan. The Company does not intend to grant further awards from the 2005 Plan, however, it will continue to administer the 2005 Plan until all outstanding awards are exercised, expire, terminate or are forfeited. There are currently outstanding stock option awards issued from the 2005 Plan covering a total of 2,520 shares of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is $101.26 per share and the weighted average remaining contractual term is 0.96 years.

The 2006 Plan was adopted by the board of directors of Viveve, Inc. and was terminated in conjunction with the merger that took place on September 23, 2014 between PLC Systems Inc., Viveve, Inc. and PLC Systems Acquisition Corp. (the “Merger”). Prior to the Merger, the board of directors voted to accelerate the vesting of all unvested options that were outstanding as of the date of the Merger such that all options would be immediately vested and exercisable by the holders. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company agreed to assume and administer the 2006 Plan and all outstanding options to purchase shares of Viveve, Inc. common stock issued from the 2006 Plan were converted into options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which the 2006 Plan options were converted was determined by multiplying the number of shares covered by each 2006 Plan option by the exchange ratio of 0.0080497 (or .0010062 on a post- reverse stock split basis). The exercise price of each 2006 Plan option was determined by dividing the exercise price of each 2006 Plan option immediately prior to the Merger by the exchange ratio of 0.0080497 (or .0010062 on a post- reverse stock split basis) (rounded up to the nearest cent). There are currently outstanding stock option awards issued from the 2006 Plan covering a total of 38,605 shares of the Company’s common stock and no shares are available for future awards. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is $10.78 per share and the weighted average remaining contractual term is 6.35 years.

 

The 2013 Plan was also adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by its stockholders. The 2013 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Administrator”). Under the 2013 Plan, the Company may grant equity awards to eligible participants which may take the form of stock options (both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted, deferred or unrestricted stock awards, performance based awards or dividend equivalent rights. Awards may be granted to officers, employees, nonemployee directors (as defined in the 2013 Plan) and other key persons (including consultants and prospective employees). The term of any stock option award may not exceed 10 years and may be subject to vesting conditions, as determined by the Administrator. Options granted generally vest over four years. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise price of any stock option award cannot be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock, provided, however, that an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting power must have an exercise price of no less than 110% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and a term that does not exceed five years. On July 22, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2013 Plan increasing the number of shares of common stock authorized for awards under the 2013 Plan from 388,949 shares to a total of 1,262,500 shares. As of June 30, 2016, there are outstanding stock option awards issued from the 2013 Plan covering a total of 1,085,162 shares of the Company’s common stock and there remain reserved for future awards 134,015 shares of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average exercise price of the outstanding stock options is 6.06 per share, and the remaining contractual term is 9.09 years.

 Stock-Based Compensation

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 28,750 and 12,500 shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.17 and $1.44 per share, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted stock options to employees to purchase 158,017 and 91,875 shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.49 and $1.92 per share, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $202,000 and $48,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $390,000 and $90,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost in connection with unvested stock options was approximately $2,430,000. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 3.30 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $5,000 and $0, respectively.

  

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The fair value of employee stock options granted was estimated using the following assumptions:

Dividend yield

    0%       0%       0%       0%  

 

Option-pricing models require the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The expected stock price volatility is based on analysis of the Company’s stock price history over a period commensurate with the expected term of the options, trading volume of comparable companies’ stock, look-back volatilities and Company specific events that affected volatility in a prior period. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the history of exercises and cancellations on all past option grants made by the Company, the contractual term, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the outstanding options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. No dividend yield is included as the Company has not issued any dividends and does not anticipate issuing any dividends in the future.

9.        Income Taxes

 

For interim periods, the Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate and applies the estimated rate to the year-to-date income or loss before income taxes. The Company also computes the tax provision or benefit related to items reported separately and recognizes the items net of their related tax effect in the interim periods in which they occur. The Company also recognizes the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates in the interim periods in which the changes occur.

The Company’s effective tax rate is 0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The Company expects that its effective tax rate for the full year 2016 will be 0%.

 

10.      Related Party Transactions

 

In June 2006, the Company entered into a Development and Manufacturing Agreement with Stellartech Research Corporation (the “Agreement”). The Agreement was amended on October 4, 2007. Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase 300 generators manufactured by Stellartech. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has purchased 151 units. The price per unit is variable and dependent on the volume and timing of units ordered. In conjunction with the Agreement, Stellartech purchased 37,500 shares of Viveve’s common stock. Under the Agreement, the Company paid Stellartech $945,000 and $1,082,000 for goods and services during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $2,160,000 and $1,211,000 for goods and services during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

 

11.       Subsequent Events

 

On July 11, 2016, the board of directors of the Company, subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders, approved an amendment and restatement of the 2013 Plan to increase the maximum number of shares reserved and available for awards under the 2013 Plan (the “Stock Issuable”) by 737,500 shares, from 1,262,500 to 2,000,000 and to add an “evergreen” provision to the 2013 Plan which will automatically increase annually, on the first day of each January during the term, the Stock Issuable by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares that will increase the Stock Issuable by 4% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding (on a fully diluted basis) or (ii) an amount determined by the board.

 

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

 

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and with our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2016. In addition to historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, particularly in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors."

 

Overview of Our Business

  

In the discussion below, when we use the terms “we”, “us” and “our”, we are referring to Viveve Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Viveve, Inc.

 

We design, develop, manufacture and market a medical device for the non-invasive treatment of vaginal laxity that we refer to as the Viveve Treatment. While our product has not been approved for sale in the U.S., we currently have 23 exclusive partnerships covering distribution of the Viveve System in 65 countries around the world, and we have regulatory clearance to market and sell our product in 27 of those countries:

TOTAL

    65       27

Outside the U.S., we market and sell the Viveve System, including the single-use treatment tips, through trained sales employees, consultants, and distributors. As of the date of this filing, we have sold 115 Viveve Systems and approximately 2,200 single-use treatment tips in countries outside of the U.S.

 

Because the revenues we have earned to date have not been sufficient to support our operations, we have relied on sales of our securities, loans from related parties and bank term loans to fund our operations. We are located in Sunnyvale, California.

 

Recent Events

  

On April 15, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its common stock. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, (i) each 8 shares of outstanding common stock were reduced to one share of common stock; (ii) the number of shares of common stock into which each outstanding warrant or option to purchase common stock is exercisable were proportionately reduced on an 8-to-1 basis; and (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding warrant or option to purchase common stock were proportionately increased on a 1-to-8 basis. All of the share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-8 reverse stock split.

 

On May 9, 2016 the Company filed the necessary Application for Authorization to Continue into Another Jurisdiction and Statutory Declaration with the Yukon registrar. On May 10, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to move its domicile from the Yukon Territory to Delaware.

 

 On June 17, 2016, in connection with the closing of a public offering (the “June 2016 Offering”), we issued an aggregate of 3,105,000 shares of common stock, including the shares issued in connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, at a public offering price of $5.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $15.5 million. The net proceeds to the Company, after the deduction of underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $13.9 million.

 

On June 20, 2016, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2016 Loan Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to loan us up to an aggregate of $10.0 million payable in two tranches of $7.5 million and $2.5 million. The funding conditions for both tranches were satisfied as of the closing date, and therefore, the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million was provided to us on June 20, 2016. The proceeds received were used to repay outstanding existing indebtedness and the remaining balance will be used for working capital purposes and to fund general business requirements. The borrowings are repayable in interest only payments until July 1, 2017 and then 30 monthly equal installments of principal and interest. The term loan shall bear interest on the outstanding obligations under the loan at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Index Rate (i.e., the 30 day U.S. LIBOR rate reported in the Wall Street Journal) plus 6.96%, determined as of the last day of each month, and (ii) 7.40%.

 

In connection with the 2016 Loan Agreement, we issued a ten year warrant to the Lender to purchase a total of 100,402 shares of Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.98 per share.

 

 We are subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the medical device industry. These risks include, but are not limited to, intense competition, whether we can be successful in obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approval for the sale of our product and whether there will be a demand for the Viveve Treatment, given that the cost of the procedure will likely not be reimbursed by the government or private health insurers. In addition, we will continue to require substantial funds to support our clinical trials and fund our efforts to expand regulatory approval for our products in locations in which we do not currently have approval to market our product, including the U.S. We cannot be certain that any additional required financing will be available when needed or on terms which are favorable to us. As noted above, our operations to date have been primarily funded through the sales of our securities, loans from related parties and bank term loans. Various factors, including our limited operating history with minimal revenues to date and our limited ability to market and sell our product have resulted in limited working capital available to fund our operations. The merger that took place on September 23, 2014 between PLC Systems Inc., Viveve, Inc. and PLC Systems Acquisition Corp. and the concurrent private offering was consummated in an effort to raise additional capital and increase public awareness of Viveve, as well as to create opportunities for access to additional capital by increasing liquidity. While we believe that the going public transaction is attractive to investors and even though we completed several equity financings and the debt financing pursuant to the 2016 Loan Agreement, there are no assurances that we will be successful in securing additional financing in the future to fund our operations going forward. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our intended business objectives.

Plan of Operation

 

We intend to increase our sales and exposure both internationally and in the United States market by seeking regulatory approvals for the sale and distribution of our product, identifying and training qualified distributors and expanding the scope of physicians who offer the Viveve Treatment to include plastic surgeons, dermatologists, general surgeons, urologists, urogynecologists and primary care physicians. In addition, we intend to use the strategic relationships that we have developed with outside contractors and medical experts to improve the Viveve System by focusing our research and development efforts on various areas including, but not limited to:

 

 

designing new treatment tips optimized for both ease-of-use and to reduce procedure times for patients and physicians;

 

  

●  

increasing security to prevent the re-use of treatment tips, resulting in improved procedure efficacy and reduced safety concerns; and

 

  

●  

developing a new cooling system that integrates a substitute for hydrofluorocarbon, to maintain compliance with changes in international environmental regulations.

 

The net proceeds received from sales of our securities and the term loan have been used to support commercialization of our product in existing and new markets, for our research and development efforts and for protection of our intellectual property, as well as for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We expect that our cash will be sufficient to fund our activities for the next twelve months, however, we will continue to require funds to fully implement our plan of operation. Our operating costs include employee salaries and benefits, compensation paid to consultants, professional fees and expenses, costs associated with our clinical trials, capital costs for research and other equipment, costs associated with research and development activities including travel and administration, legal expenses, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative expenses, and other costs associated with an early stage public company subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We also expect to incur expenses related to obtaining regulatory approvals in the U.S. and internationally as well as legal and related expenses to protect our intellectual property. We expect capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future, to be less than $250,000 annually.

 

We intend to continue to meet our operating cash flow requirements through the sales of our products and by raising additional funds from the sale of equity or debt securities. If we sell our equity securities, or securities convertible into equity, to raise capital, our current stockholders will likely be substantially diluted. We may also consider the sale of certain assets, or entering into a strategic transaction, such as a merger, with a business complimentary to ours, although we do not currently have plans for any such transaction. While we have been successful in raising capital to fund our operations since inception, other than as discussed in this Quarterly Report, we do not have any committed sources of financing and there are no assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding or if we do secure additional financing that it will be on terms that are favorable to us. If we cannot obtain financing, then we may be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives.

The increase in revenue was primarily due to sales of 40 Viveve Systems and disposable treatment tips and other ancillary consumables to our new distributors in the second quarter of 2016. Sales in the second quarter of 2015 were limited primarily because of insufficient commercial inventory available for sale as a result of an inventory production slowdown in 2014 due to funding constraints. The majority of inventory during the second half of 2014 and the first half of 2015 was used to support our clinical trial in Europe and Canada (“OUS Clinical Trial”).

The increase in gross profit was primarily due to sales of 40 Viveve Systems to our new distributors in the second quarter of 2016. Sales in the second quarter of 2015 included only one Viveve System and were primarily limited to smaller quantities of disposable treatment tips and other ancillary consumables primarily because of insufficient commercial inventory available for sale as a result of an inventory production slowdown in 2014 due to funding constraints. The majority of inventory during the second half of 2014 and first half of 2015 was used to support our OUS Clinical Trial.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

 

Liquidity is our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet our obligations and commitments. In addition, liquidity includes the ability to obtain appropriate financing or to raise capital. We have funded our operations since inception through the sale of our securities, loans from related parties and bank term loans. To date, we have not generated sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet our obligations and commitments, and we anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities

 

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant expenses in the areas of research and development, regulatory and clinical study costs, associated with the Viveve System.

 

Operating activities used $6,301,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5,072,000 used for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The primary use of our cash was to fund selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses associated with the Viveve System. Net cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of a net loss of $9,422,000 adjusted for non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization of $45,000, stock-based compensation of $390,000, fair value of warrants issued of $162,000, non-cash interest expense of $387,000, and inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,137,000 (primarily due to an increase in accrued liabilities related to professional fees and customer advance payments). Net cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of a net loss of $5,530,000 adjusted for non-cash expenses including depreciation and amortization of $36,000, stock-based compensation of $90,000, fair value of warrants issued of $380,000, non-cash interest expense of $102,000, and outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $150,000.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $137,000 and $1,000, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily used for the purchase of property and equipment. We expect to continue to purchase property and equipment in the normal course of our business. The amount and timing of these purchases and the related cash outflows in future periods is difficult to predict and is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, any increase in the number of our employees and any changes to the capital equipment requirements related to our development programs and clinical trials.

  

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $19,009,000, which was primarily the result of the gross proceeds of $15,525,000 from our June 2016 Offering (partially offset by transaction costs of $1,668,000), the proceeds of $10,000,000 from the drawdown of funds from the first and second tranches of the new term loan (partially offset by debt issuance costs of $56,000), and proceeds from the exercise of a warrant and stock options, partially offset by the repayment of the existing term loan of $4,833,000. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $12,540,000, which was the result of the gross proceeds of $12,000,000 from an offering we closed in May 2015, partially offset by transaction costs of $960,000, and the proceeds of $1,500,000 from the drawdown of funds from the second tranche of the term loan.

 

Contractual Payment Obligations

 

We have obligations under a non-cancelable operating lease, a bank term loan and a purchase commitment for inventory. As of June 30, 2016, our contractual obligations are as follows (in thousands):

In June 2006, we entered into a Development and Manufacturing Agreement with Stellartech Research Corporation (the "Agreement"). The Agreement was amended on October 4, 2007. Under the Agreement, we agreed to purchase 300 generators manufactured by Stellartech. As of June 30, 2016 and the date of this filing, we have purchased 151 units. The price per unit is variable and dependent on the volume and timing of units ordered. 

 

In January 2012, we entered into a lease agreement for office and warehousing facilities. The lease agreement, as amended in January 2015, commenced in March 2012 and will terminate in March 2017.

As described above, on June 20, 2016, we entered into the 2016 Loan Agreement with the Lender pursuant to which we received a term loan in the amount of $10.0 million. The proceeds from the term loan were used to repay the existing outstanding indebtedness with another financial institution and to provide general working capital to fund our operations. As of June 30, 2016 and the date of this filing, the outstanding term loan principal balance was $10.0 million.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of our control. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses their judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical operations, our future business plans and projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Please see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, that was filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016, for a more complete description of our significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 In May 2014, as part of its ongoing efforts to assist in the convergence of US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in US GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The ASU provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has issued several updates to the standard which i) defer the original effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017 (ASU 2015-14); ii) clarify the application of the principal versus agent guidance (ASU 2016-08); and iii) clarify the guidance on inconsequential and perfunctory promises and licensing (ASU 2016-10). In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, to address certain narrow aspects of the guidance including collectibility criterion, collection of sales taxes from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts. This issuance does not change the core principle of the guidance in the initial topic issued in May 2014. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

   

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods, with earlier adoption permitted. We have adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016.

 

 
26

 

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this pronouncement 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 pronouncement does not apply to inventory that is being measured using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this guidance.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This guidance identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this guidance.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet transactions.

 

Trends, Events and Uncertainties

 

Research and development of new technologies is, by its nature, unpredictable. Although we will undertake development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that we will have adequate capital to develop our technology to the extent needed to create future sales to sustain our operations.

 

We cannot assure you that our technology will be adopted, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, since we have no committed source of financing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

 

Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on our financial condition.

 

Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

 

 Item 4.       Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

 
27

 

 

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the Company's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings.

 

 On March 11, 2016, the Company filed a demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) against a former employee, asserting common law and statutory negligence claims against the former employee arising from her alleged negligent performance of certain work duties. The demand seeks damages for lost profits, along with attorney's fees, interest, and costs. On April 7, 2016, the former employee served an arbitration answering statement and counterclaim request (the “Counterclaim”) to our demand. In the Counterclaim, the former employee alleges causes of action for, among other claims, retaliation, wrongful termination, disability-related discrimination, intentional misrepresentation, breach of contract and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The former employee has asked for recovery of general damages, special damages, statutory damages and penalties, damages for emotional distress, restitution and disgorgement, injunctive relief, punitive damages, costs and attorney’s fees. The amount of the damages was not specified in the Counterclaim.

 

On April 12, 2016, the Company was served with a Notice of Commencement of Action, a Summons and a Complaint.  The action was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Index No. 951928/2016 and is titled “Denville and Dover Fund LLC , Plaintiff, against Viveve Medical, Inc. (f/k/a PLC Systems, Inc.), Defendant”.  The complaint alleges that PLC Systems, Inc. (“PLC”), during the period from 2011 through 2013, sold securities to the Plaintiff, including a Common Stock Purchase Warrant, No. R-3B, for the purchase of 679,825 pre-Merger shares of PLC common stock (the “Warrant”).  The Warrant expiration date was February 22, 2016.  Plaintiff alleges that the Warrant was exercised on January 30, 2016 but that the Defendant has failed and refused to issue the common stock, as required by the terms of the Warrant.  Plaintiff asks the Court to order the Defendant to issue the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant, pay compensatory damages in an amount no less than $400,000, pay liquidated damages in the amount of $10,732.46 accrued from February 4, 2016 through February 10, 2016 and liquidated damages of $3,066 per day from February 10, 2016 until judgement and for attorney’s fees and the costs and expenses of the legal action. On May 13, 2016, the Company removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 27, 2016, the court remanded the action to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. The Company believes the claim is meritless and intends to vigorously defend against such claim.
