Senseonics Holdings, Inc.

 

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Organization

 

Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a medical technology company focused on the design, development and commercialization of glucose monitoring systems to improve the lives of people with diabetes by enhancing their ability to manage their disease with relative ease and accuracy.

 

ASN Technologies, Inc. (“ASN”) was incorporated in Nevada on June 26, 2014. On December 4, 2015, ASN reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name to Senseonics Holdings, Inc. On December 7, 2015, Senseonics Holdings, Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Senseonics, Incorporated (the "Acquisition"). Senseonics, Incorporated was originally incorporated on October 30, 1996 and commenced operations on January 15, 1997. Senseonics Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiary Senseonics, Incorporated are hereinafter referred to as the “Company” unless the context requires otherwise.

2.Liquidity

 

The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, lack of operating history and uncertainty of future profitability. Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses, principally from expenses associated with the Company’s research and development programs. The Company has not generated significant revenues from the sale of products and its ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability largely depends on the Company’s ability, alone or with others, to complete the development of its products or product candidates, and to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for the manufacture, marketing and sales of those products. These activities, including planned significant research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the remainder of 2016 and beyond.

 

On March 23, 2016, the Company effected the initial closing of its public offering of 15,800,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $2.85 per share (the “Offering”). Additionally, the Company closed on the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares on April 5, 2016. The Company received aggregate net proceeds from the Offering of $44.8 million (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $2.7 million and additional offering related costs of $1.4 million). On June 30, 2016, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”) and Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) to potentially borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million. Management has concluded that, based on the Company’s current operating plans, the receipt of these funds and future borrowing upon the achievement of specified milestones, its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities available for sale will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated operating needs through the third quarter of 2017. Accordingly, management has concluded that the doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through December 31, 2016 that existed at December 31, 2015 has been alleviated.

 

Historically, the Company has financed its operating activities through the sale of equity and equity linked securities and the issuance of debt. Although the Company began generating revenue from product sales of Eversense, its continuous glucose monitoring system, in June 2016, the Company does not expect product revenues to be sufficient to satisfy its operating needs for several years, if ever. Accordingly, the Company plans to continue financing its operations with external capital for the foreseeable future. However, the Company may not be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to secure sufficient capital to fund its research and development and other operating activities, the Company may be required to delay or suspend operations, enter into collaboration agreements with partners that could require the Company to share commercial rights to its products to a greater extent or at earlier stages in the product development process than is currently intended, merge or consolidate with other entities, or liquidate.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015, has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Reclassification

 

Sales and marketing expenses of approximately $351,000 and $941,000 included in general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, have been reclassified to sales and marketing expenses to conform to 2016 presentation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, valuation of common and preferred stock, stock‑based compensation, the fair value of warrant liabilities and beneficial conversion features in convertible securities, recoverability of long‑lived assets, deferred taxes and valuation allowances, depreciable lives of property and equipment, and estimated accruals for preclinical study costs, which are accrued based on estimates of work performed under contracts. Actual results could differ from those estimates; however management does not believe that such differences would be material.

 

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision‑maker, or decision‑making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in accessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment, glucose monitoring systems.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and other changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s net loss equaled its comprehensive loss and, accordingly, no additional disclosure is presented.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost to purchase or the market value of such inventory. Cost is determined using the standard cost method that approximates first in, first out. Market is determined by the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. The Company periodically reviews inventory to determine if a write down is necessary for inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis less than net realizable value, and inventory in excess of future demand taking into consideration the product shelf life.

6


 

 

Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities consist of debt securities in government-sponsored entities, corporate debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities and commercial paper. The Company’s investments are classified as available for sale. Such securities are carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized holding gains or losses reported, net of any tax effects reported, as accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, are included in consolidated results of operations. A decline in the market value of any available for sale security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in fair value, which is charged to earnings in that period, and a new cost basis for the security is established. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. The cost of securities sold is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company classifies all available-for-sale marketable securities with maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date as non-current assets.

   

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is generated from sales of sensor kits, transmitter kits, and related supplies under agreements for research and third-party distributors that resell the product to customers. The Company is paid for its sales directly by third-party distributors, regardless of whether or not the distributors resell the products to their customers.

 

The Company recognizes product sales revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

 

         persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

         delivery has occurred;

         the price is fixed or determinable; and

         collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company offers no rights of return and has no significant post-delivery obligations and therefore, the above criteria are generally met as products are shipped to, or received by, third-party distributors.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost and depreciated on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful lives, generally five years. Equipment under capital leases is depreciated on a straight‑line basis over its estimated useful life. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining lease term or useful lives of the assets. Upon disposition of the assets, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are included as expense in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Management reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long‑lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. Management did not identify any indicators of impairment through September 30, 2016.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include costs related to employee compensation, preclinical studies and clinical trials, supplies, outsource testing, consulting and depreciation and other facilities‑related expenses.

 

7


 

Stock‑Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. The estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant is amortized on a straight‑line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award for those awards with service conditions only. For awards that also contain performance conditions, expense is recognized beginning at the time the performance condition is considered probable of being met over the remaining vesting period.

 

The Company uses the Black‑Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock‑option awards. Valuation of stock awards requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to determine the fair value of the awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the fair value of the Company’s common stock, future volatility of the Company’s stock price, dividend yields, future employee turnover rates, and future employee stock option exercise behaviors. Changes in these assumptions can affect the fair value estimate.

 

Fair Value Disclosures

 

The Company carries its marketable securities at fair value. The carrying amounts of short term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of September 30, 2016, because of the relatively short term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the note payable approximates its face value of $15 million, based on the effective interest rate contained in the note payable compared to the current market rates. The interest rates used in the determination of fair value are considered Level 2 inputs.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted. The measurement of a deferred tax asset is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Management uses a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties and financial statement reporting disclosures. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. In the ordinary course of business, transactions occur for which the ultimate outcome may be uncertain. Management does not expect the outcome related to accrued uncertain tax provisions to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax exposures as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued relating to interest and penalties as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions in the United States and remains subject to examination by taxing jurisdictions for the year 1996 and all subsequent periods due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, all of the net operating losses and research and development credit carryforwards that may be used in future years are still subject to adjustment.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

8


 

For periods of net loss, diluted net loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all potential dilutive common shares is anti‑dilutive. The total number of anti‑dilutive shares, consisting of common stock options and stock purchase warrants exercisable for common stock, which have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, was 11,484,459  common stock options and 5,127,176  stock purchase warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The total number of anti-dilutive shares, consisting of common stock options and stock purchase warrants exercisable for common stock, which have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, was 9,482,997 common stock options and 5,010,595 stock purchase warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance simplifying the accounting for and financial statement disclosure of stock-based compensation awards. Under the guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to stock-based compensation awards are to be recognized as income tax expenses or benefits in the income statement and excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. Under the guidance, companies can also elect to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, the guidance amends some of the other stock-based compensation awards guidance to more clearly articulate the requirements and cash flow presentation for withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted, though all amendments of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The adoption of certain amendments of the guidance must be applied prospectively, and adoption of the remaining amendments must be applied either on a modified retrospective basis or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ending December 31, 2016. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for the accounting for leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities related to long-term leases on the balance sheet and expands disclosure requirements regarding leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance must be adopted on a modified retrospective basis and provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred taxes be presented as noncurrent, rather than separated into current and noncurrent amounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. In addition, the adoption of guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ending December 31, 2016, on a prospective basis. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance for inventory. Under the guidance, an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this guidance at the lower of cost and net realizable value, except when inventory is measured using the last in first out method or the retail inventory method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. In addition, the FASB has amended some of the other inventory guidance to more clearly articulate the requirements for the measurement and disclosure of inventory. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ending December 31, 2016 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance requiring management to evaluate on a regular basis whether any conditions or events have arisen that could raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance 1) provides a definition for the term “substantial doubt,” 2) requires an evaluation every reporting period, interim periods included, 3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans to

9


 

alleviate the substantial doubt, 4) requires certain disclosures if the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of management’s plans, 5) requires an express statement, as well as other disclosures, if the substantial doubt is not alleviated, and 6) requires an assessment period of one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted in certain circumstances. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ending December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the balance sheet disclosure for debt issuance costs. Under the guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, in the same manner as debt discounts, rather than as an asset. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, which guidance states that the SEC does not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and must be adopted on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.    The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations for reporting revenue gross rather than net, with the same deferred effective date. In April 2016, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and the accounting for licenses of intellectual property, with the same deferred effective date. In May 2016, the FASB issued guidance rescinding SEC paragraphs related to revenue recognition, pursuant to two SEC Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force meeting. In May 2016, the FASB also issued guidance to clarify the implementation guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales tax, noncash consideration, and contracts and contract modifications at transition, with the same effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has evaluated all other issued unadopted Accounting Standards Updates and believes the adoption of these standards will not have a material impact on its consolidated statements of earnings, balance sheets, or cash flows.

6.Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company leases approximately 32,000 square feet of research and office space under a non‑cancelable operating lease expiring in 2023. The Company has an option to renew the lease for one additional five‑year term. Expense recognition is based upon a straight‑line basis and was $149,427 and $96,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $376,651 and $284,890 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

On March 31, 2016 the Company amended a corporate development agreement with a supplier to include a minimum purchase commitment per year. Total research and development expense related to the minimum payment was $291,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $544,890 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

7.Notes Payable

 

Term Notes Payable

 

On June 30, 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford and SVB (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, the Company may potentially borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million in the following four tranches: $15.0 million (“Tranche 1 Term Loan”); $5.0 million (“Tranche 2 Term Loan”); $5.0 million (“Tranche 3 Term Loan”); and $5.0 million (“Tranche 4 Term Loan”) (each, a “Term Loan,” and collectively, the “Term Loans”). The funding conditions for the Tranche 1 Term Loan were satisfied on June 30, 2016.  Therefore, the Company issued secured notes to the Lenders for aggregate gross proceeds of $15.0 million (the “Notes”) on June 30, 2016. The Company used approximately $11.0 million from the proceeds from the Notes to repay the outstanding balance under the Company’s previously existing Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford, dated as of July 31, 2014, including the applicable final payment fee due thereunder of $1 million. The Company may borrow the Tranche 2 Term Loan on or before December 31, 2016 if the Lenders confirm that the Company received positive data in its U.S. pivotal trial of Eversense,

11


 

and the Company submits a pre-market approval (“PMA”) application for Eversense in the United States with the FDA. The Company may borrow the Tranche 3 Term Loan on or before April 30, 2017 if it borrows the Tranche 2 Term Loan and completes the first commercial sale of its second-generation transmitter in the European Union. The Company may borrow the Tranche 4 Term Loan on or before December 31, 2017 if it borrows the Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 Term Loans, receives PMA approval from the FDA for Eversense, and achieves trailing six-month revenue for the applicable period of measurement of at least $4.0 million. The maturity date for all Term Loans is June 1, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

The Term Loans bear interest at a floating annual rate of 6.31% plus the greater of (i) 90-day U.S. Dollar LIBOR reported in the Wall Street Journal or (ii) 0.64%, provided that the minimum floor interest rate is 6.95%, and require monthly payments. The monthly payments initially consist of interest-only.  After twelve months, the monthly payments will convert to payments of principal and monthly accrued interest, with the principal amount being amortized over the ensuing 36 months. However, if the Company borrows the Tranche 2 Term Loan and the Tranche 3 Term Loan, the interest-only period will be extended by an additional six months, and the amortization period will be shortened to 30 months.

 

The Company may elect to prepay all Term Loans prior to the Maturity Date subject to a prepayment fee equal to 3.00% if the prepayment occurs within one year of the funding date of any Term Loan, 2.00% if the prepayment occurs during the second year following the funding date of any Term Loan, and 1.00% if the prepayment occurs more than two years after the funding date of any Term Loan and prior to the Maturity Date. 

The Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement contains customary events of default, including bankruptcy, the failure to make payments when due, the occurrence of a material impairment on the Lenders’ security interest over the collateral, a material adverse change, the occurrence of a default under certain other agreements entered into by the Company, the rendering of certain types of judgments against the Company, the revocation of certain government approvals of the Company, violation of covenants, and incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, subject to specified cure periods, all amounts owed by the Company would begin to bear interest at a rate that is 5.00% above the rate effective immediately before the event of default, and may be declared immediately due and payable by Lenders.

 

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, the Company also issued 10-year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,581 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.86 per share to the Lenders (see Note 8).

 

The Notes are collateralized by all of the Company’s consolidated assets other than its intellectual property. The Notes also contain certain restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens, merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, acquire other companies, engage in new lines of business, make certain investments, pay dividends, transfer or dispose of assets, amend certain material agreements or enter into various specified transactions, as well as financial reporting requirements. The Company incurred issuance costs related to the Notes of approximately $568,648 that are being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. The fair value of the stock purchase warrants, which was estimated to be $304,113, was recorded as a discount to the Notes, which is also being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.

 

At maturity (or earlier prepayment), the Company is also required to make a final payment equal to 9.00% of the aggregate principal balances of the funded Term Loans. This fee is being accrued as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. In the event that the Company achieves the requirements to borrow the Tranche 3 Term Loan or the Tranche 4 Term Loan, and elects not to borrow either tranche, the Company is obligated to pay the Lenders a non-utilization fee of 2.00% of the undrawn amounts.

Energy Capital, LLC Loan

 

On December 7, 2015, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Energy Capital, LLC (“Energy Capital”) pursuant to which the Company could borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million from Energy Capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $2.5 million from Energy Capital under the facility, which amounts were repaid in full prior to September 30, 2016 and the facility was terminated.

 

8.Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s authorized capital stock included 5,000,000 shares and 0 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, respectively. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

 

Common Stock

 

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s authorized capital stock included 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company had 93,390,172 and 75,760,061 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

As discussed in Note 2, the Company completed the initial closing of the Offering on March 23, 2016 and completed the closing of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their option to purchase additional shares on April 5, 2016, issuing an aggregate of 17,239,143 shares of common stock. Net cash proceeds from the Offering were approximately $44.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated Offering-related transaction costs payable by the Company.

 

Stock Purchase Warrants

 

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company also issued to the Lenders 10-year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,581 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.86 per share. The fair value of the warrants, which the Company estimated to be $304,113, was recorded as a discount to the Notes. These warrants expire on June 30, 2026 and are classified in equity. In connection with the Company’s original Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford in 2014, the Company issued to Oxford 10-year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 167,570 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.79 per share. The fair value of the warrants, which the Company estimated to be $205,150, was recorded as a discount to the promissory notes issued to Oxford in connection with the original Loan and Security Agreement. These warrants expire on November 2, 2020, July 14, 2021 and August 19, 2021, and are classified in equity. The unamortized deferred financing fees and debt discount related to the notes rollover amount will be amortized along with the deferred financing costs and the discount created by the new issuance of the warrants over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded amortization of discount of debt of $38,825 and $15,550, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded amortization of discount of debt of $65,835 and $56,616, respectively, within interest expense in the accompanying statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Restricted Stock Awards

 

The Company issued 398,525 shares of restricted stock to the chairman of the Company’s board of directors (the “Chairman”) in December 2015, half of which were vested upon grant and half of which vested upon the completion of the Offering, pursuant to an agreement between the Company and the Chairman, as described in greater detail in Note 9. In June 2016, the Company issued a fully vested restricted stock award for 300,000 shares of common stock to the Chairman to settle the outstanding obligations under the agreement. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0 and $1.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, related to the grant and vesting of this restricted stock.

 

Stock‑Based Compensation

 

In December 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) under which incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted to the Company’s employees and certain other persons in accordance with the 2015 Plan provisions. In connection with the Offering, the Company’s board of directors adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved an Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “amended and restated 2015 Plan”). The amended and restated 2015 Plan became effective as of the date of the pricing of the Offering. The Company’s board of directors may terminate the amended and restated 2015 Plan at any time. Options granted under the amended and restated 2015 Plan expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company retains the right of first offer to buy any shares issued under the amended and restated 2015 Plan.

 

Pursuant to the amended and restated 2015 Plan, the number of shares initially reserved for issuance pursuant to equity awards was 17,251,115 shares, representing 8,000,000 shares plus up to an additional 9,251,115 shares in the event that options that were outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans as of February 16, 2016 expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised (in such case, the shares not acquired will revert to and become available for issuance under the amended and restated 2015 Plan). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the amended and restated 2015 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2017 and ending on January 1, 2026, by 3.5% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2016,  4,977,162 shares remained available for grant under the amended and restated 2015 Plan.

 

On May 8, 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”), under which incentive stock options and non‑qualified stock options may be granted to the Company’s employees and certain other persons in accordance with the 1997 Plan provisions. Approximately 9,053,524 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying options have vested or are expected to vest under the 1997 Plan. Upon the effectiveness of the 2015 Plan, the Company no longer grants any awards under the 1997 Plan.

The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. The estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award for those awards with service conditions only. For awards that also contain performance conditions, expense is recognized beginning at the time the performance condition is considered probable of being met over the remaining vesting period.

Capital Structure Prior to the Acquisition

 

Prior to the Acquisition, the Company had the following shares of preferred stock authorized:

 

·

599,997 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share;

·

1,202,497 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share;

·

2,073,749 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share;

·

22,995,265 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share; and

·

3,192,537 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share (“Series E Stock”).

 

In August 2015, the Company completed a private offering of 2,711,926 shares of Series E Stock at a purchase price of $3.93 per share for total proceeds of $10.7 million. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature of $406,783 associated with the Series E Stock since the initial effective conversion price was determined to be less than the fair value of the underlying common stock into which the Series E Stock is convertible. The beneficial conversion feature was recognized as a “deemed dividend” at issuance since the Series E Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holders.

 

Prior to their conversion to common stock in connection with the Acquisition, all series of preferred stock were equity classified.  The holders of preferred stock were entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the board of directors. The Company did not declare or otherwise recognize any preferred stock dividends during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition (i) all outstanding shares of common stock of Senseonics, Incorporated $0.01 par value per share, were exchanged for 1,955,929 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (reflecting an exchange ratio of 2.0975), (ii) all outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock of Senseonics, Incorporated and exchanged into 55,301,674 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (iii) all outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock or preferred stock of Senseonics, Incorporated were exchanged for or replaced with options and warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock using the same exchange ratio. As a result, the Company did not have any shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

9.Related Party Transactions

 

In December 2015, the Chairman received a restricted stock award of 398,525 shares of common stock pursuant to an agreement entered into with the Company (the “December Agreement”) that superseded a pre-existing agreement. One half of the shares covered by this restricted stock award were fully vested on grant. The remainder vested in full upon the completion of the Company’s Offering, which was the specific performance condition of the award. Additionally, as a result of the completion of the Offering, pursuant to the December Agreement, the Chairman was entitled to receive estimated compensation in the amount of $785,000.  In June 2016, the Chairman received a restricted stock award of 300,000 shares of common stock pursuant to an agreement entered into with the Company that superseded the December Agreement and satisfied the outstanding compensation obligation under the December Agreement. All of the shares covered by this restricted stock award were fully vested on date of grant.

 

As described in Note 7, on December 7, 2015, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with a stockholder, Energy Capital, pursuant to which the Company could borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million from Energy Capital. During the nine months ended September  30, 2016, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $2.5 million from Energy Capital under the facility, which amounts were repaid in full prior to September 30, 2016 and the facility was terminated.

 

10.Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value has a three level hierarchy from highest

15


 

priority (Level 1) to lowest priority (Level 3). The fair value hierarchy, defined by Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, was established based on whether the inputs are observable from independent sources or rely on unobservable inputs based on the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

·

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities (unadjusted) in active markets.

 

·

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the assets or liability.

 

·

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

 

The levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk of liquidity associated with the financial assets or liabilities disclosed.

 

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The Company has segregated its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below.

 

The inputs used in measuring the fair value of the Company’s money market funds included in cash equivalents are considered to be Level 1 in accordance with the three‑tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market values are based on period‑end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of the funds.

 

Fixed-income investments categorized as Level 2 are valued at the custodian bank by a third-party pricing vendor’s valuation models that use verifiable observable market data, e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals and credit spreads, bids provided by brokers or dealers or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics.

Overview

We were originally incorporated as ASN Technologies, Inc. in Nevada on June 26, 2014. On December 4, 2015, we were reincorporated in Delaware and changed our name to Senseonics Holdings, Inc. Also, on December 4, 2015, we entered into a merger agreement with Senseonics, Incorporated and SMSI Merger Sub, Inc., or the Merger Agreement, to acquire Senseonics, Incorporated. Senseonics, Incorporated was originally incorporated on October 30, 1996 and commenced operations on January 15, 1997. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on December 7, 2015, referred to herein as the Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) all issued and outstanding shares of Senseonics, Incorporated's preferred stock were converted into shares of Senseonics, Incorporated common stock, $0.01 par value per share, or the Senseonics Shares, (ii) all outstanding Senseonics Shares were exchanged for 57,739,953 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, or the Company Shares, reflecting an exchange ratio of one Senseonics Share for 2.0975 Company Shares, or the Exchange Ratio, and (iii) all outstanding options and warrants to purchase Senseonics Shares, or the Senseonics Options and Senseonics Warrants, respectively, were each exchanged or replaced with options and warrants to acquire shares of our common stock, or the Company Options and Company Warrants, respectively. Accordingly, Senseonics, Incorporated became our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Following the closing of the Acquisition, the business of Senseonics, Incorporated became our sole focus and all of our operations following the closing of the Acquisition consist of the historical Senseonics, Incorporated business. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section to "the Company," "we," "our," "ours," "us" or similar terms refer to (i) Senseonics, Incorporated prior to the closing of the Acquisition, and (ii) Senseonics Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition and all share and per share information in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section gives retroactive effect to the exchange of Senseonics Shares, Senseonics Options and Senseonics Warrants for Company Shares, Company Options and Company Warrants, respectively, in the Acquisition, as well as the corresponding exercise price adjustments for the such options and warrants.

 

We are a medical technology company focused on the design, development and commercialization of glucose monitoring systems to improve the lives of people with diabetes by enhancing their ability to manage their disease with relative ease and accuracy. Our first generation continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM, system, Eversense, is a reliable, long‑term, implantable CGM system that we have designed to continually and accurately measure glucose levels in

18


 

people with diabetes for a period of up to 90 days, as compared to five to seven days for currently available CGM systems. We believe Eversense will provide people with diabetes with a more convenient method to monitor their glucose levels in comparison with the traditional method of self‑monitoring of blood glucose, or SMBG, as well as currently available CGM systems. In our European pivotal clinical trial, we observed that Eversense measured glucose levels over 90 days with a degree of accuracy comparable or superior to that of other currently available CGM systems.

 

Corporate History

 

From our founding in 1996 until 2010, we devoted substantially all of our resources to researching various sensor technologies and platforms. Beginning in 2010, we narrowed our focus to designing, developing and refining a commercially viable glucose monitoring system. On May 10, 2016, we received regulatory approval to commercialize Eversense in Europe. In June 2016, we made our first product shipment of Eversense through our distribution agreement with Rubin Medical, or Rubin. Since our inception, we have funded our activities primarily through equity and debt financings.

 

In March 2016, we completed a public offering of our common stock, or the Offering, selling 15,800,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $2.85 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $45.0 million. Net cash proceeds from the Offering were approximately $40.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated Offering-related transaction costs payable by us. In April 2016, the underwriters for the Offering partially exercised their option to purchase additional shares of common stock, purchasing an additional 1,439,143 shares, from which we received additional net cash proceeds of approximately $3.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated Offering-related transaction costs payable by us.

 

On June 30, 2016 we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance LLC, or Oxford, and Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, to potentially borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million. Under the terms of the agreement, we initially borrowed an aggregate of $15 million from Oxford and SVB on June 30, 2016. We used $11 million of the $15 million to retire existing loans with Oxford, including a final payment fee of $1 million. The agreement also permits us to borrow up to an additional $15 million upon the achievement of specified milestones, and the funding of specific tranches under the agreement, through the end of 2017. The agreement provides for monthly payments of interest only for a period of 12 months, followed by an amortization period of 36 months. However, if we satisfy certain milestones and borrow an additional $10 million under the agreement, the interest only period will be extended by an additional six months and the amortization period will be 30 months.

 

We have never been profitable and our net losses were $10.9 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $34.0 million and $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, our accumulated deficit totaled $194.8 million, primarily as a result of expenses incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operations and net losses for the foreseeable future.

European Commercialization of Eversense

In July 2015, we applied for, and in May 2016, we received our CE mark, which allows us to market and sell Eversense in Europe. In connection with our CE Mark, we have agreed to conduct post market surveillance activities. In June 2016, we commenced commercialization of Eversense in Sweden through our distribution agreement with Rubin, which also has the right to distribute Eversense in Norway and Denmark. Rubin markets and sells medical products for diabetes treatment in the Scandinavian region, including as the exclusive Scandinavian distributor for the insulin pump manufacturer Animas Corporation.

 

In May 2016, we entered into a distribution agreement with Roche Diagnostics International AG and Roche Diabetes Care GmbH, together referred to as Roche, pursuant to which we granted Roche the exclusive right to market, sell and distribute Eversense in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Roche is a pioneer in the development of blood glucose monitoring systems and a global leader for diabetes management systems and services. We began distributing

19


 

Eversense through Roche in Germany in September 2016 and we expect to begin distributing Eversense in Italy and the Netherlands in the fourth quarter of 2016.

United States Development of Eversense

We recently completed our Precise II pivotal clinical trial in the United States. This trial, which was fully enrolled with 90 subjects, was conducted at eight sites in the United States. In the trial, we measured the accuracy of Eversense measurements through 90 days after insertion. We also assessed safety through 90 days after insertion or through sensor removal.

 

During the trial, 75 subjects underwent unilateral sensor insertions and 15 subjects underwent bilateral sensor insertions in the clinic on day 1 and used Eversense’s smart transmitter and mobile app at home for the next 90 days.  Subjects were blinded to the real-time glucose readings and trends during home-use and sensor readings were not used to adjust their treatment. Clinic visits were scheduled at approximately 30-day intervals in order to obtain lab reference glucose values for comparison with the sensor values and to evaluate hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic challenges in a controlled setting.

 

In the trial, we observed a mean absolute relative difference, or MARD, of 8.8% utilizing two calibration points for Eversense across the 40-400 mg/dL range when compared to YSI blood reference values during the 90-day continuous wear period. We also observed a MARD of 9.5% utilizing one calibration point for Eversense across the 40-400 mg/dL range when compared to YSI blood reference values during the 90-day continuous wear period. Based on the data from this trial, we recently submitted a pre-market approval, or PMA, application to the FDA to market Eversense in the United States. We expect that the PMA process could take between six and 18 months. For commercialization in the United States, we intend to distribute our product through our own direct sales and marketing organization. We have received Category III CPT codes for the insertion and removal of Eversense. Following PMA approval, we intend to pursue a Category I CPT code.

 

We expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. In addition, we expect that our expenses will increase substantially as we continue the research and development of our other products and maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio and seek regulatory approvals in other jurisdictions. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We may need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise such capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop and commercialize Eversense and future products and our ability to pursue our business strategy. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

 

Financial Overview

 

Revenue

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we generated product revenue from sales of the Eversense system in Europe pursuant to distribution agreements with Roche and Rubin, and we expect to begin marketing Eversense in Norway and Denmark pursuant to the Rubin agreement in the fourth quarter of 2016. Additionally, we expect to market Eversense in Italy and the Netherlands pursuant to our distribution agreement with Roche beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016. We expect our revenue from European product sales will increase as we ramp up our commercialization efforts through the remainder of 2016 and in 2017. In the future, subject to regulatory approval, we also intend to seek to commercialize Eversense in the United States, as well as other international markets, including Canada, Australia and Israel. If we fail to successfully commercialize or are otherwise unable to complete the development of Eversense, our ability to generate future revenue, and our results of operations and financial position, will be adversely affected.

 

Cost of Sales

 

20


 

We utilize contract manufacturers for the production of Eversense. Cost of sales consists primarily of the components of Eversense, as well as reserves for warranty costs and distribution-related expenses such as logistics and shipping costs.

 

We calculate gross margin as revenue less costs of sales divided by revenue. We expect our overall gross margin to improve over the long term, as our sales increase and we have more opportunities to spread our costs over larger production volumes. However, our gross margins may fluctuate from period to period.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs, including stock‑based compensation, for personnel who perform sales and marketing functions. Other significant costs include promotional materials and tradeshow expenses.

 

We anticipate that our sales and marketing expenses will increase in the future as we continue to expand our commercialization of Eversense.

 

Research and Development

 

The largest component of our total operating expenses has historically been research and development expenses. Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities in developing Eversense, including our clinical trials and future product enhancements. Research and development expenses include compensation and benefits for research and development employees including stock‑based compensation, overhead expenses, cost of laboratory supplies, clinical trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, costs related to regulatory operations, fees paid to contract research organizations and other consultants, and other outside expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

We have incurred significant research and development expenses from inception, with the substantial majority of the expenses spent on the development of Eversense. We expect to continue to commit significant resources to continue to develop Eversense and future product enhancements and to conduct ongoing and future clinical trials. We expect that our overall research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollars, but to decline as a percentage of total expenses as we commercialize our products.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs, including stock‑based compensation, for personnel in our executive, finance, accounting, business development, and human resources functions. Other significant costs include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, legal fees relating to patent and corporate matters and fees for accounting and consulting services.

 

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as a result of operating as a public company. These increases will include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and increased fees to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants as well as expenses related to maintaining compliance with NYSE-MKT listing rules and SEC requirements, insurance, and investor relations costs. These expenses may further increase when we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, which will require us to comply with certain reporting requirements from which we are currently exempt.

 

Other Income (Expense), Net

 

Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash equivalents and interest expense primarily consists of interest expense on the secured notes, or the Notes, we issued to Oxford in connection with our original Loan and Security Agreement in July and December 2014 and the Notes we issued to Oxford and SVB in connection with our Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement in June 2016. We refer to Oxford and SVB together as the Lenders. This interest expense primarily consists of (i) contractual interest on the Notes, (ii) amortization of debt discount related to warrants, or the warrants, that we issued to the Lenders in connection with the Notes, and (iii) the accrual into interest expense of a final payment obligation that we are required to pay to the Lenders at maturity of the Notes.

21


 

 

Other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily includes the change in the fair value of the warrant liability during the particular period, which results from the marking to market at the end of every reporting period of the fair value of the warrant liability related to warrants issued to Oxford. In December 2015, in connection with the Acquisition, the warrants were amended. As a result, the warrants were reclassified from a liability to equity and will no longer be marked to market and, therefore, will not impact other income (expense) in future periods.

Revenue

 

Our revenue was $37,283 for the three months ended September 30, 2016,  resulting from shipments of Eversense to Roche and Rubin,  our third-party distributors,  for distribution in various regions of Europe. We did not have any revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Cost of sales

 

Our cost of sales was $114,138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016,  resulting from the manufacturing and distribution of shipments of Eversense to Roche and Rubin for distribution in Europe. We did not have any cost of sales during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Gross profit was $(76,855) in the three months ended September 30, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue, or gross margin, was (206.1)% in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $0.3 million. The $0.3 million increase was primarily due to the salaries, bonuses and payroll-related expenses for additional headcount, as we supported our European commercial launch of Eversense.

 

22


 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses were $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $2.2 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in product development expenses of $1.8 million related to development of future versions of Eversense and a $0.6 million increase in additional salaries, bonus and payroll-related expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease related to the completion of our U.S. pivotal trial.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in legal and accounting expenses resulting from non-recurring legal and accounting expenses incurred in 2015 related to the Acquisition and the Offering, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in salaries, bonuses and payroll-related expenses for additional headcount and an $0.3 million increase in occupancy expenses related to our expanded facilities.

 

Total other expense, net

 

Total other expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, consisting primarily of interest expense on our debt facilities.

Cost of sales

 

Our cost of sales was $147,988 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016,  resulting from the manufacturing and distribution of the Eversense product to Roche and Rubin for distribution in various regions in Europe. We did not have any cost of sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

Gross profit decreased to $(91,879) in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $37,500 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $129,379. Gross margin was (164)% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. 

 

Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.0 million. The $1.0 million increase was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in salaries, bonuses and payroll related costs for additional headcount, and a $0.1 million increase in other sales and marketing expenses, as we supported our European commercial launch of Eversense.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses were $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $7.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in product development expenses of $4.1 million related to the development of future versions of Eversense, a $0.8 million increase in manufacturing expenses as we launched Eversense in Europe, a $1.5 million increase in additional salaries, bonus and payroll related costs, a $0.5 million increase related to our U.S. pivotal trial, and a $0.4 million increase in other costs, primarily the purchase of lab supplies to support research and development.

General and administrative expenses were $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $3.9 million. The increase was primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in salaries, bonuses and payroll related costs for additional headcount,  a $0.7 million increase in occupancy expenses related to our expanded facilities, and a $0.4 million increase in other expenses to support administration.

 

Total other expense, net

 

Total other expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, consisting primarily of interest expense on our debt facilities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

From our inception in 1996 until 2010, we devoted substantially all of our resources to researching various sensor technologies and platforms. Beginning in 2010, we narrowed our focus to designing, developing and refining a commercially viable glucose monitoring system. However, to date, we have not generated any significant revenue from product sales. We have incurred substantial losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations since our inception in October 1996. We have never been profitable and out net losses were $10.9 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $34.0 million and $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, our accumulated deficit totaled $194.8 million.

 

To date, we have funded our operations principally through the issuance of preferred stock, common stock and debt. As of September 30, 2016, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $25.7 million. Our marketable securities portfolio consists of investment grade, highly liquid securities of various holdings including obligations of U.S. government sponsored-entities, commercial paper, and money market funds.

Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends on our completion of the development of Eversense and future product candidates and obtaining of necessary regulatory approvals for the manufacture, marketing and sales of those products. These activities, including our planned significant research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the remainder of 2016 and beyond. Upon the completion of the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, we did not have sufficient cash to fund our operations through December 31, 2016 without additional financing and, therefore, we concluded there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in its report on those financial statements.

 

On March 23, 2016, we closed the Offering of our common stock. Additionally, we closed on the partial exercise by the underwriters of the Offering on their option to purchase additional shares on April 5, 2016. As a result of these events, we received aggregate net proceeds of $44.8 million (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $2.7 million and additional offering related costs of $1.4 million). In June 2016, we entered into a debt facility with the Lenders. Under this debt facility, we initially borrowed an aggregate of $15 million from the Lenders on June 30, 2016. We used $11 million of the $15 million to retire existing loans with Oxford, including a final payment fee of $1 million. The debt facility also permits us to borrow up to an additional $15 million upon the achievement of specified milestones, and the funding of specific tranches under the agreement, through the end of 2017.

 

We expect our existing capital resources as of September 30, 2016 will enable us to fund our operations through the third quarter of 2017. We have based this estimate on assumptions, including that we will meet the conditions to borrow the full remaining $15 million of additional borrowing under our debt facility, that may prove to be wrong, and we could require additional capital resources sooner than we expect.

 

Indebtedness

 

On June 30, 2016, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with the Lenders. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, we may potentially borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million in the following four tranches: $15.0 million, or the Tranche 1 Term Loan; $5.0 million, or the Tranche 2 Term Loan; $5.0 million, or the Tranche 3 Term Loan; and $5.0 million, or the Tranche 4 Term Loan.  We refer to each of the tranches as a Term Loan, and collectively, the Term Loans. The funding conditions for the Tranche 1 Term Loan were satisfied as of June 30, 2016. Therefore, we issued secured notes to the Lenders for aggregate gross proceeds of $15.0 million, or the Notes, on June 30, 2016. We used approximately $11.0 million from the proceeds from the Notes to repay the outstanding balance under our previously existing Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford, dated as of July 31, 2014, including the applicable final payment fee due thereunder of $1 million. We may borrow the Tranche 2 Term Loan on or before December 31, 2016 if the Lenders confirm that we received positive data in our U.S. pivotal trial of Eversense, and we submit a pre-market approval, or PMA, application for Eversense in the United States with the FDA. We are awaiting confirmation from the Lenders that these milestones have been met. We may borrow the Tranche 3 Term Loan on or before April 30, 2017 if we borrow the Tranche 2 Term Loan and complete the first commercial sale of our second-generation transmitter in the European Union. We may borrow the Tranche 4 Term Loan on or before December 31, 2017 if we borrow the Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 Term Loans, receive PMA approval from the FDA for Eversense, and achieve trailing six-month revenue for the applicable period of measurement of at least $4.0 million. The maturity date for all Term Loans is June 1, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

The Term Loans bear interest at a floating annual rate of 6.31% plus the greater of (i) 90-day U.S. Dollar LIBOR reported in the Wall Street Journal or (ii) 0.64%, provided that the minimum floor interest rate is 6.95%, and require monthly payments. The monthly payments initially consist of interest-only. After twelve months, the monthly payments will convert to payments of principal and monthly accrued interest, with the principal amount being amortized over the ensuing 36 months. However, if we borrow the Tranche 2 Term Loan and the Tranche 3 Term Loan, the interest-only period will be extended by an additional six months, and the amortization period will be shortened to 30 months.

 

We may elect to prepay all Term Loans prior to the Maturity Date subject to a prepayment fee equal to 3.00% if the prepayment occurs within one year of the funding date of any Term Loan, 2.00% if the prepayment occurs during the second year following the funding date of any Term Loan, and 1.00% if the prepayment occurs more than two years after

25


 

the funding date of any Term Loan and prior to the Maturity Date. 

The Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement contains customary events of default, including bankruptcy, the failure to make payments when due, the occurrence of a material impairment on the Lenders’ security interest over the collateral, a material adverse change, the occurrence of a default under certain other agreements entered into by us, the rendering of certain types of judgments against us, the revocation of certain of our government approvals, violation of covenants, and incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, subject to specified cure periods, all amounts owed by us would begin to bear interest at a rate that is 5.00% above the rate effective immediately before the event of default, and may be declared immediately due and payable by Lenders.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, we also issued to the Lenders 10‑year stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 116,581 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.86 per share.

The Notes are collateralized by all of our consolidated assets other than our intellectual property. The Notes also contain certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens, merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, acquire other companies, engage in new lines of business, make certain investments, pay dividends, transfer or dispose of assets, amend certain material agreements or enter into various specified transactions, as well as financial reporting requirements. We incurred issuance costs related to the Notes of approximately $568,648 that are being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. The fair value of the stock purchase warrants, which was estimated to be $304,113, was recorded as a discount to the Notes, which is also being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.

 

At maturity (or earlier prepayment), we are also required to make a final payment equal to 9.00% of the aggregate principal balances of the funded Term Loans. This fee is being accrued as additional interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method. In the event that we achieve the requirements to borrow the Tranche 3 Term Loan or the Tranche 4 Term Loan, and elect not to borrow either tranche, we are obligated to pay the Lenders a non-utilization fee of 2.00% of the undrawn amounts.

 

On December 7, 2015, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Energy Capital pursuant to which we were entitled to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $10.0 million, or the Energy Capital note, subject to the conditions specified in the Note Purchase Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we borrowed an aggregate of $2.5 million from Energy Capital. We repaid these borrowings in full with a portion of the proceeds of the Offering prior to September 30, 2016, and the Note Purchase Agreement was terminated.

In January 2016, we amended our existing lease agreement related to our corporate offices to expand the leased premises by an additional 11,889 square feet for a total of 32,805 square feet. The existing lease term is through May 2018 and was extended for an additional five years through May 2023. With respect to the expanded premises only during the remaining lease term and the entire premises during the expanded lease term, the future total minimum lease payments under the amended lease will be an additional $3.6 million and will expire May 2023. We have an option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five-year period with respect to the entire premises.

27


 

Off‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 we did not have, and we do not currently have, any off‑balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules.

 

JOBS Act

 

In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period, and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances at the time such estimates are made. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates and judgments under different assumptions or conditions. We periodically review our estimates in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. The effects of material revisions in estimates are reflected in our financial statements prospectively from the date of the change in estimate.

 

Management considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations, and if it requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. The development and selection of these critical accounting policies have been determined by our management. Due to the significant judgment involved in selecting certain of the assumptions used in these areas, it is possible that different parties could choose different assumptions and reach different conclusions.

 

We believe there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and use of estimates as disclosed in the footnotes to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in our final prospectus filed on March 18, 2016 with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

 

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and in our financial position represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2016, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $25.7 million. We generally hold our cash in interest-bearing money market accounts. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Due to the short-term maturities of our cash equivalents and the low risk profile of our investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash equivalents. Additionally, the interest rate on our Notes is fixed. We do not currently engage in hedging transactions to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We expect that our international sales through distributors and the costs we incur in connection with our international operations will be denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, we do not expect that our results of operations will be materially affected by foreign exchange rate risks. However, our distributors' sales of our products in

28


 

international markets to their customers will be denominated in local currencies. Therefore, it is possible that, when the U.S. dollar appreciates, products sales could be adversely impacted, as our products will become more expensive to the customers of our distributors. We do not currently engage in any hedging transactions to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

 

 

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, who is our principal executive officer, and our chief financial officer, who is our principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as set forth in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016, our chief executive officer and chief financial 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

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

 

 

 

29


 

ITEM 1A: Risk Factors

 

Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. Except for the risk factors described below, our risk factors as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have not changed materially from those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016. 

Risks Relating to our Business and our Industry

 

Our distribution agreements with Rubin and Roche to market Eversense in specified European countries may not be successful.

 

We have entered into a distribution agreement with Rubin to market Eversense in Sweden, Norway and Denmark and a distribution agreement with Roche to market Eversense in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.  Under these agreements, Rubin and Roche will generally be responsible for the promotion, sale and distribution of Eversense in the specified countries at such prices as they determine in their sole discretion. Although Rubin and Roche have the exclusive right to distribute Eversense in the covered countries, the agreements do not require Rubin or Roche to sell our products exclusively, and therefore, Rubin and Roche are free to sell products of our competitors. Because we only recently received regulatory approval, we are not yet able to fully assess Rubin's and Roche’s performance in distributing Eversense in the covered countries, and it may take an extended period of time for us to accurately assess their performance under the agreements. Additionally, because the agreements with Rubin and Roche are exclusive, we will have limited ability to terminate the agreements or to contract with any other distributor for Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, and therefore we may be entirely dependent on Rubin and Roche for sales in these countries. If Rubin or Roche fails to perform satisfactorily under the agreements, our ability to commercialize in these countries, and potentially throughout Europe, could be adversely affected.

 

If we are unable to establish additional distribution arrangements, we may have to alter our development and commercialization plans in Europe and our sales in Europe may be negatively affected.

 

To commercialize Eversense in Europe, we plan to establish arrangements with third-party distributors. Aside from our agreement with Rubin with respect to Sweden, Norway and Denmark and Roche with respect to Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, we have not entered into any distribution arrangements to date. We may face significant competition in seeking appropriate distribution arrangements. Whether we reach a definitive distribution agreement will depend, among other things, upon our assessment of the distributor's resources and expertise, the terms and conditions of the proposed agreement and the proposed distributor's evaluation of a number of factors. The distributor may also consider alternative CGM systems or technologies that may be available if such an arrangement could be more attractive than the one with us for Eversense. We expect that none of our third-party distributors will be required to sell our products exclusively and each of them may freely sell the products of our competitors.

 

Distribution arrangements are complex and time-consuming to negotiate and document. We may not be able to negotiate distribution arrangements on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail the development of Eversense, delay its potential commercialization in Europe or reduce the scope of any sales or marketing activities, or increase our expenditures and undertake development or commercialization activities at our own expense. If we elect to increase our expenditures to fund development or commercialization activities on our own, we may need to obtain additional capital, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we do not have sufficient funds, we may not be able to further develop our products or bring them to market and generate revenue.

 

In addition, if a third-party distributor does not effectively sell our products, or if it engages in certain activities or ceases to distribute our products, we may not be able to maintain or increase our revenues or enter into new countries and our sales would be adversely affected. In such a situation, we may need to seek alternative third-party distributors or increase our reliance on our other third-party distributors, which may harm our sales. Additionally, to the extent that we enter into additional arrangements with third-party distributors to perform sales, marketing, or distribution services, the terms of the arrangements could cause our product margins to be lower than if we directly marketed and sold our products.

30


 

 

Risks Related to our Financial Results and Need for Financing

 

Our future capital needs are uncertain and we may need to raise substantial additional funds in the future, and these funds may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. A failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed could force us to delay, limit, scale back or cease some or all operations.

 

At the time that the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 was completed, we did not have sufficient cash to fund our operations through the end of 2016 without additional financing and, therefore, we concluded there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in its report on those financial statements. At December 31, 2015, we had approximately $3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, and we had insufficient committed sources of additional capital to fund our operations as described in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015, for more than a limited period of time. Even though we raised net proceeds of $44.8 million in our public offering and have established an expanded debt facility that provides additional borrowing capacity if we satisfy certain funding conditions, we will need to access additional funds before we become financially self-sustaining through cash flow from operations. Although we believe our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our operations through the third quarter of 2017, we will need to secure additional funding in the future. The continued growth of our business, including the establishment of our sales and marketing infrastructure, and research and development activities will significantly increase our expenses. In addition, the amount of our future product sales is difficult to predict and actual sales may not be in line with our expectations. As a result, we may be required to seek substantial additional funds in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

·

the cost of maintaining regulatory clearance for Eversense in Europe and the cost of obtaining and maintaining regulatory clearance or approval for Eversense or future versions of Eversense in the United States;

·

the costs associated with developing and commercializing Eversense or future versions of Eversense;

·

any change in our development priorities regarding our future versions of Eversense;

·

the revenue generated by sales of Eversense or future versions of Eversense;

·

the costs associated with expanding our sales and marketing infrastructure;

·

any change in our plans regarding the manner in which we choose to commercialize our products in the United States;

·

the cost of ongoing compliance with regulatory requirements;

·

expenses we incur in connection with potential litigation or governmental investigations;

·

anticipated or unanticipated capital expenditures; and

·

unanticipated general and administrative expenses.

 

As a result of these and other factors, we do not know whether and the extent to which we may be required to raise additional capital. We may in the future seek additional capital from public or private offerings of our capital stock, borrowings under credit lines or other sources. If we issue equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. In addition, if we raise additional funds through collaborations, licensing, joint ventures, strategic alliances, partnership arrangements or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our potential future products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

 

If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to establish and expand our sales and marketing infrastructure, enhance Eversense or future versions of Eversense, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures, changes in supplier relationships, or unanticipated changes in customer demand. Moreover, we may be unable to meet our obligations under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement or other agreements, which could result in an acceleration of our obligation to repay all amounts owed thereunder, and we may be forced to liquidate our assets. In such a scenario, the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements. Any of these events could adversely affect

31


 

our ability to achieve our strategic objectives, which could negatively effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness, which currently consists of our term loan with the Lenders. In addition, although we potentially have the ability to borrow additional funds under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, we may be unable to borrow those additional funds or we may be unable to generate sufficient cash to service any additional indebtedness that we do incur.

 

In June 2016, we issued secured Notes to Oxford and SVB in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $15.0 million, pursuant to a Term Loan under our Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement that matures on June 1, 2020.  We used approximately $11.0 million from the proceeds from the Notes to repay the outstanding balance under our previously existing Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford, dated as of July 31, 2014, including the applicable final payment fee due thereunder of $1 million. Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, other than our intellectual property. Our Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with the Lenders also contains certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens, merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, acquire other companies, engage in new lines of business, make certain investments, pay dividends, transfer or dispose of assets, amend certain material agreements or enter into various specified transactions, as well as financial reporting requirements. We were in compliance with the affirmative and restrictive covenants as of September 30, 2016. We may also enter into other debt agreements in the future which may contain similar or more restrictive terms.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, we may also have the ability to borrow up to an aggregate of an additional $15 million upon the achievement of specified milestones, and the funding of specific tranches under the agreement, through the end of 2017. We will not be able to borrow the additional $15 million under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement if we do not achieve the specified milestones.

 

Our ability to make scheduled monthly payments or to refinance our debt obligations depends on numerous factors, including the amount of our cash reserves and our actual and projected financial and operating performance. These amounts and our performance are subject to certain financial and business factors, as well as prevailing economic and competitive conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of cash reserves or cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our existing or future indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we would be able to take any of these actions, or that these actions would permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Failure to comply with the conditions of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement could result in an event of default, which could result in an acceleration of amounts due under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. We may not have sufficient funds or may be unable to arrange for additional financing to repay our indebtedness or to make any accelerated payments, and the Lenders could seek to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such indebtedness, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

An active trading market for our common stock may not continue to develop or be sustained.

 

Prior to our public offering in March 2016, there was no liquid market for our common stock. Although our common stock is listed on The NYSE-MKT, we cannot assure you that an active trading market for our shares will continue to develop or be sustained. If an active market for our common stock does not continue to develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares without depressing the market price for the shares or to sell the shares at all.

 

32


 

The issuance of additional stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plan, or otherwise will dilute our existing stockholders.

 

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined by our board of directors. Subject to compliance with applicable rules and regulations, we may issue our shares of common stock or securities convertible into our common stock from time to time in connection with a financing, acquisition, investment, our equity incentive plans or otherwise. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

 

Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to change our management and hinder efforts to acquire a controlling interest in us, and the market price of our common stock may be lower as a result.

 

There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that may make it difficult for a third party to acquire, or attempt to acquire, control of our company, even if a change of control was considered favorable by some or all of our stockholders. For example, our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board of directors can fix the price, rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the preferred stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change of control transaction. As a result, the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of our stockholders may be adversely affected. An issuance of shares of preferred stock may result in the loss of voting control to other stockholders.

 

Our charter documents also contain other provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect, including:

 

·

only one of our three classes of directors is elected each year;

·

stockholders are not entitled to remove directors other than by a 662/3% vote and only for cause;

·

stockholders are not permitted to take actions by written consent;

·

stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting of stockholders; and

·

stockholders are required to give advance notice of their intention to nominate directors or submit proposals for consideration at stockholder meetings.

 

In addition, we are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which regulates corporate acquisitions by prohibiting Delaware corporations from engaging in specified business combinations with particular stockholders of those companies. These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change of control transaction. They could also have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our common stock, including transactions that may be in your best interests. These provisions may also prevent changes in our management or limit the price that investors are willing to pay for our stock.

 

We have broad discretion in the use of proceeds from our recent public offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not increase the value of your investment.

 

We have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from our recent public offering. You may not agree with our decisions, and our use of the proceeds may not yield any return on your investment. Our failure to apply the net proceeds effectively could compromise our ability to pursue our strategy and we might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on our investment of these net proceeds. Stockholders will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use the net proceeds from the public offering.

 

We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of being a public company.

 

As a newly public company in the United States, we have begun to incur, and will continue to incur, significant additional legal, accounting and other costs, particularly after we cease to be an “emerging growth company.” These additional costs could negatively affect our financial results. In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including regulations implemented by the SEC and the NYSE-

33


 

MKT, may increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management's time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If, notwithstanding our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards, we fail to comply, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

 

Failure to comply with these rules might also make it more difficult for us to obtain some types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we might be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on committees of our board of directors or as members of senior management.

 

Failure to establish and maintain an effective system of disclosure controls or internal controls could result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or fail to prevent fraud in which case, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and could negatively impact the price of our stock.

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the stock market on which our common stock is listed. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we evaluate and report on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Commencing with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Form 10-K filing for that year, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This will require that we incur substantial additional professional fees and internal costs to expand our accounting and finance functions and that we expend significant management efforts. To date, we have never been required to test our internal controls within a specified period, and, as a result, we may experience difficulty in meeting these reporting requirements in a timely manner. In addition, we may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Even if we conclude that our internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect fraud or misstatements. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our future reporting obligations.

 

Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. If we fail to timely achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or help prevent fraud. Our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could prevent us from filing our periodic reports on a timely basis which could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our common stock.

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders will maintain the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval.

Our executive officers, directors and stockholders who own more than 5% of our outstanding common stock beneficially own shares representing a majority of our capital stock. As a result, if these stockholders were to act

34


 

together, they would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they act together, would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of our company on terms that other stockholders may desire or result in management of our company that our public stockholders disagree with. 

 

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

 

The shares sold in our recent public offering are freely tradable without restriction by stockholders who are not our affiliates. In addition, 18,000,108 additional shares held by legacy ASN Technologies stockholders, including Energy Capital LLC, SBLE, LLC and Kato Consulting, LLC, are not subject to lock-up agreements and are freely tradable without restriction. Of our outstanding shares, 20,000 shares that were outstanding before the Acquisition are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144. In the Acquisition, we issued an aggregate of 57,739,953 shares of our common stock to the former Senseonics, Incorporated stockholders pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and such shares are also "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144. These restricted securities may be publicly resold under Rule 144 beginning on December 10, 2016.

 

In addition, we have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the issuance of approximately 27 million shares of common stock subject to options, and reserved for issuance, under our equity incentive plans. Shares registered under this registration statement on Form S-8 are available for sale in the public market subject to vesting arrangements and exercise of options and the restrictions of Rule 144 in the case of our affiliates.

 

Additionally, the holders of an aggregate of up to 55,300,420 shares of our common stock, or their transferees, have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file one or more registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. If we were to register the resale of these shares, they could be freely sold in the public market. If these additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports, or publish unfavorable research or reports, about us, our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business, our market and our competitors. As a newly public company, we have only limited research coverage by securities or industry analysts. Securities or industry analysts may elect not to initiate or continue to provide coverage of our common stock, and such lack of coverage may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Even if we have securities or industry analyst coverage, we will not have any control over the analysts or the content and opinions included in their reports. The price of our stock could decline if one or more securities or industry analysts downgrade our stock or issue other unfavorable commentary or research. If one or more securities or industry analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action

35


 

asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

 

ITEM 2: Unregistered Sales of Equity and Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities

None.

(b) Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock

 

On March 17, 2016, our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-208984) was declared effective in connection with our public offering, pursuant to which we sold 17,239,143 shares of our common stock, including the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $2.85 per share. The offering closed on March 23, 2016 and we closed on the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares on April 5, 2016. As a result, we received aggregate net proceeds of $44.8 million (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $2.7 million and additional offering related costs of $1.4 million). The joint bookrunning managing underwriters of the offering were Leerink Partners LLC and Canaccord Genuity Inc.

 

No expenses incurred by us in connection with our public offering were paid directly or indirectly to (i) any of our officers or directors or their associates, (ii) any persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or (iii) any of our affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to non-employee directors as compensation for board or board committee service.

 

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our public offering from that described in the final prospectus filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2016 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act.
