(1)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of Reshape Lifesciences Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed on March 11, 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. Refer to Note 5 regarding the fair value of debt instruments and Note 8 regarding fair value measurements and inputs of warrants.

Net Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive as of the end of each period presented:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting standards adopted by the Company in 2021 are discussed below or in the related notes, where appropriate.

In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes: ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New accounting standards not yet adopted are discussed below.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial assets held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, which amended the new standard by providing targeted transition relief. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to estimate all expected

Table of Contents

credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, which amended the new standard by providing additional clarification. This guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(2)  Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company currently does not generate revenue sufficient to offset operating costs and anticipates such shortfalls to continue in the short-term. The Company’s history of operating losses and limited cash resources and lack of certainty regarding obtaining significant third-party reimbursement of its products, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had net negative working capital of approximately $13.4 million. The Company’s principal source of liquidity as of March 31, 2021 consisted of approximately $1.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and $3.4 million of accounts receivable. During January 2021, the Company entered into a $15.0 million Line of Credit with an institutional investor, which has not been drawn upon as of March 31, 2021. For further details see Note 5.

The Company’s anticipated operations include plans to (i) manufacture, and promote the sales and operations of the LAP-BAND^® product line in order to expand sales domestically and internationally as well as to obtain cost savings synergies, (ii) introduce to the market place reshapecare^TM, (iii) continue clinical testing of the ReShape Vest, (iv) continue development of the Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation, (v) seek opportunities to leverage our intellectual property portfolio and custom development services to provide third-party sales and licensing opportunities, and (vi) explore and capitalize on synergistic opportunities to expend our portfolio and offer future minimally invasive treatments and therapies in the obesity continuum of care, which includes the pending merger with Obalon Therapeutics, Inc. pursuant to the merger agreement that was entered into with Obalon on January 19, 2021, for further details see Note 13. The Company believes that it has the flexibility to manage the growth of its expenditures and operations depending on the amount of available cash flows, which could include reducing expenditures for marketing, clinical and product development activities. However, the Company will ultimately need to achieve sufficient revenues from product sales and obtain additional debt or equity financing to support its operations.

COVID-19 Risk and Uncertainties and CARES Act

Additionally, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to the coronavirus outbreak. This outbreak has severely impacted global economic activity, and many countries and many states in the United States have reacted to the outbreak by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. These mandated business closures have at times included the cessation of non-elective surgeries in Australia, Europe and the United States for all but emergency procedures. As a result of these mandates, on April 16, 2020, the Company implemented various short-term cost reductions and cash flow improvement actions, such as reducing the compensation for executives, management and key employees and decreasing operating expenses where possible. In addition, the Company identified temporary headcount reductions and made the decision to furlough a portion of its workforce. During the second quarter of 2020, the mandated closures began to ease in many areas throughout the world and within the United States. As a result of this, elective surgeries started back up again through various parts of the world, which led to improved sales progressing through the third quarter. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may continue to experience materially adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operation. Additionally, on June 15, 2020, the Company ended the temporary pay reductions and the furloughed employees returned to work. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve and it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce and has taken actions to mitigate the impact including among other things, temporary reductions in pay, and furloughs of certain positions along with deferrals in payment for cash preservation. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not

able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under which the Company received a PPP loan described in more detail in Note 8 below. On February 3, 2021, the Company submitted the application for PPP loan forgiveness according to the terms and conditions of the SBA’s Loan Forgiveness Application (Revised June 24, 2002). On March 1, 2021, the Company received confirmation from the SBA that, the PPP Loan had been forgiven in full including all interest incurred. For further details, see Note 5.

​

Credit Facility

On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into a $15.0 million Line of Credit with an institutional investor that the Company may access from time to time until December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has not drawn down any amounts under the Credit Facility. Any advances would bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus 2.5% and would be subject to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement between the Company and the institutional investor dated March 25, 2020.

CARES Act

On April 24, 2020, the Company entered into a PPP Loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) under the PPP, which is part of the CARES Act administered by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”). As part of the application for these funds, the Company in good faith, has certified that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account our current business activity and our ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. Under this program, the Company received proceeds of $1.0 million from the PPP Loan. In accordance with the requirements of the PPP, the Company intends to use proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent and utilities. The PPP Loan has a 1.00% interest rate per annum, matures on April 24, 2022 and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the PPP.

On February 23, 2021, the Company submitted the application for PPP loan forgiveness, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SBA’s Loan Forgiveness Application (revised June 24, 2020). On March 1, 2021, the Company received confirmation from the SBA that the PPP Loan was forgiven in full including all interest incurred, which resulted in a gain on debt extinguishment of $1.0 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Under the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company is eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. The Company recognized a $0.3 million employee retention credit during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Credit Agreement

On March 25, 2020, the Company executed a credit agreement up to $3.5 million, with an institutional investor (the “Lender”), who holds warrants in connection with the June 2019 and September 2019 transactions. On the day of closing, the Company received $2.5 million and the additional $1.0 million may be drawn from time to time 30 days after the closing date but prior to five months after the closing date, in $500 thousand increments per draw. On June 23,

Table of Contents

2020, the Company made the first additional draw of $500 thousand and on July 29, 2020 the second $500 thousand draw was made. As required by the terms of this credit agreement, the lender exercised its warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,085,834 shares of common stock with a current exercise price of $0.12 per warrant on April 15, 2020, in which the Company received net proceeds of $0.6 million. In addition, the Company issued to the lender 1,200,000 Series G warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock. As an inducement to the Lender to enter into the amendment and make the additional loans contemplated thereby, the Company issued to the Lender an additional 1,200,000 Series G warrants dated September 14, 2020 to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of common stock. The original Series G warrants were valued using the relative fair value basis and the amount was recorded as part of the debt issuance costs, see Note 8 for additional details.

On September 14, 2020, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the credit agreement that increased the amount available under delayed draw term loans by $2.0 million. The Company borrowed $1.0 million of the available amount immediately and the remaining $1.0 million will be available in increments of least $500 thousand with at least 30 days between borrowings and issued an additional 1,200,000 Series G Warrants. The Company evaluated the accounting related to the amendment and in conjunction with the warrants issued. Based on this analysis the Company determined the agreements are substantially different and extinguished the original credit agreement and recorded the amended credit agreement as a new debt at a fair value of $3.9 million. As a result in 2020, the Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $0.6 million and a $2.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt which is comprised of the fair value of the warrants and unamortized debt issuance cost with the original credit agreement, offset by the debt discount. Pursuant to the amendment of the credit agreement, the maturity date of the loans was March 31, 2021 and the loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%.

On December 16, 2020, the Company and the Lender entered into the third amendment to the credit agreement that increased the amount available under delayed draw term loans by an additional $4.0 million. The Company borrowed the entire $4.0 million of the available amount immediately and issued an additional 4,000,000 Series G Warrants. The Company evaluated the accounting related to the amendment and in conjunction with the warrants issued. Based on this analysis the Company determined the agreements are substantially different and extinguished the original credit agreement and recorded the amended credit agreement as a new debt at a fair value of $8.9 million. As a result in 2020, the Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $0.6 million and a $5.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt which is comprised of the fair value of the warrants and unamortized debt discount cost with the original credit agreement, offset by the debt discount related to the new debt. At December 31, 2020 there was approximately $0.5 million of unamortized debt discount. Pursuant to the amendment of the credit agreement, the maturity date of the loan was March 31, 2021 and the loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%.

On January 19, 2021, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the credit agreement that increased the amount available under delayed draw term loans by $1.0 million, which was used to fund the $1.0 million escrow fund securing the termination fee under the Merger Agreement and issued an additional 1,000,000 Series G Warrants. The Company evaluated the accounting related to the amendment and in conjunction with the warrants issued. Based on this analysis the Company determined the agreements are substantially different and extinguished the original credit agreement and recorded the amended credit agreement as a new debt at a fair value of $10.0 million. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $0.5 million and a $3.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which is comprised of the fair value of the warrants and unamortized debt issuance cost with the original credit agreement, offset by the debt discount. At March 31, 2021, there was approximately $0.1 million of unamortized debt discount. Pursuant to the amendment of the credit agreement, the maturity date of the loans are March 31, 2021 and the loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%.

On March 10, 2021, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the credit agreement that extended the maturity date from March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022. The Company has accounted for this amendment as a debt modification. The associated unamortized debt discount on the January 19, 2021 amendment of $0.1 million, will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the amended credit agreement.

Asset Purchase Consideration Payable

The asset purchase consideration payable related to the Company’s December 2018 acquisition of the Lap-Band product line from Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. (“Apollo”), was initially recorded at net present value using a discount rate of 5.1%. The asset purchase consideration payable was originally secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets, but that security interest terminated in accordance with its terms in October 2019. At March 31,

(9) Revenue Disaggregation and Operating Segments

The Company conducts operations worldwide and has sales in the following regions: United States, Australia, Europe and Rest of World. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company primarily only sold the LAP-BAND product line. The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by geography:

​

*The next largest individual country outside the United States was Australia for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 which was 9.1% and 10.7%, respectively, of total revenues.

Operating Segments

The Company conducts operations worldwide and is managed in the following geographical regions: United States, Australia, Europe and the Rest of World (primarily in The Middle East). All regions sell the LAP-BAND product line, which consisted of nearly all our revenue and gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. During the second half of 2020 the Company launched reshapecare, which had minimal revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company anticipates generating more reshapecare revenue late in the second quarter and in to the second half of the year. There was no revenue or gross profit recorded for the ReShape Vest or Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as these two products are still in the development stage.

(10) Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate. The Company’s quarter tax provision, and quarterly estimate of annual effective tax rate, are subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including the Company’s ability to accurately predict pre-tax income and loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a $25 thousand tax expense was recorded, primarily due to projected income in Australia and Netherlands. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, an $18 thousand tax benefit was recorded, due to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the level of historical losses, projections of losses in future periods and potential limitations pursuant to changes in ownership under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382, the Company provided a valuation allowance at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

​

As of March 31, 2021, there was approximately $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock option awards, which are to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years. There were no stock options granted during both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

(12)  Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is not currently a party to any material litigation and the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition. The medical device industry in which the Company operates is characterized by frequent claims and litigations, including claims regarding patent and other intellectual property rights as well as improper hiring practices. As a result, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings from time to time.

Product Liability Claims

The Company is exposed to product liability claims that are inherent in the testing, production, marketing and sale of medical devices. Management believes any losses that may occur from these matters are adequately covered by insurance, and the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company is not currently a party to any product liability litigation and is not aware of any pending or threatened product liability litigation that is reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.

(13) Subsequent Events and Merger

On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Obalon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Obalon”) and Optimus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Obalon (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into ReShape as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Obalon (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Obalon will be renamed “ReShape Lifesciences Inc.”

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, each outstanding share of ReShape common stock and series B convertible preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of Obalon (“Obalon Shares”) based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement. Upon completion of the Merger, ReShape stockholders will own approximately 51% of the combined company’s outstanding common stock and Obalon stockholders will own approximately 49%, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Obalon will, at the effective time of the Merger, assume the outstanding warrants and series C convertible preferred stock of ReShape, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. All outstanding stock options of ReShape will be cancelled and terminated at the effective time of the Merger without any right to receive any consideration. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Merger and Obalon will pay cash in lieu of any such fractional shares. The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Merger Agreement contains specified termination rights for both ReShape and Obalon. If Obalon terminates the Merger Agreement as a result of ReShape’s breach of its covenant to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the NASDAQ Approvals, or if either party terminates the Merger Agreement because the NASDAQ Approvals have not been obtained within 30 days following the later of the Obalon Stockholders’ Meeting and the ReShape Stockholders’ Meeting, then ReShape will be required to pay Obalon a $1.0 million termination fee, which has been deposited with a third-party escrow agent.

Recent Developments

On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Obalon Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Obalon”), and Optimus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Obalon (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into ReShape, with ReShape as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Obalon (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Obalon will be renamed “ReShape Lifesciences Inc.”

On January 19, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ReShape entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (“Credit Facility Agreement”) with Armistice, which is ReShape’s existing secured lender and majority stockholder, pursuant to which Armistice agreed to provide ReShape with a $15.0 million line of credit that ReShape may access from time to time until December 31, 2022. ReShape has not drawn down any amounts under the Credit Facility Agreement. Any advances will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus 2.5%, and would be subject to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement between ReShape and Armistice dated March 25, 2020.

On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into the fourth amendment to the credit agreement that increased the amount available under the delayed draw term loans by $1.0 million, of which all funds were received upfront and used for the escrow fund securing the termination fee under the Merger Agreement.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain data from our unaudited consolidated statements of operations expressed as percentages of net revenue (in thousands):

​

Non-GAAP Disclosures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with GAAP, we provide certain historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that, in some respects, these non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of the Company’s ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents.

Management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments, and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in the Form 10-Q have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of the Company’s core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and other one-time costs.

Comparison of Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020

Net Revenue: The following table summarizes our unaudited net revenue by geographic location based on the location of customers for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as the percentage of each location to total revenue and the amount of change and percentage of change (dollars in thousands):

​

Revenue totaled $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2020. The primary reason for the increase in revenue of $0.4 million, or 15.5%, is due to a $0.6 million increase in sales for the United States, offset by a $0.2 million decrease internationally. Although the COVID 19 pandemic restrictions began to lessen for elective surgeries domestically, there were still several regions that were heavily effected internationally.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit: The following table summarizes our unaudited cost of revenue and gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as the percentage compared to total revenue and amount of change and percentage of change (dollars in thousands):

​

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $2.3 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $0.8 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 70.9% compared to 53.9% for the same period in 2020. The increase in gross profit margin is primarily due to increased volume, as revenue increased 15.5%, lower overhead department expenses, and improved product mix with higher domestic sales, which have a higher gross profit margin than international sales.
