(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

EnteroMedics Inc. (formerly Beta Medical, Inc.) (the Company) is developing medical devices using neuroblocking technology to treat obesity, metabolic diseases and other gastrointestinal disorders. The Company was incorporated in the state of Minnesota on December 19, 2002 and was reincorporated in Delaware on July 22, 2004. The Company is in the development stage and since inception has devoted substantially all of its resources to recruiting personnel, developing its product technology, obtaining patents to protect its intellectual property and raising capital, and thus far has only derived revenues from its primary business activity in 2012. The Company is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. In January 2006, the Company established EnteroMedics Europe Sárl, a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Switzerland.

Since inception, the Company has incurred losses through September 30, 2013 totaling $219.2 million and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. The Company expects such losses to continue into the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and commercialize its technologies. The Company may need to obtain additional financing and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay development or commercialization of products or license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that the Company would otherwise seek to commercialize. See Note 2.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt (including the current portion) is approximately $8.2 million as of September 30, 2013 based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with borrowing rates available to the Company. If measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements, long-term debt (including the current portion) would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not hold any assets that are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The types of instruments the Company invests in that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include U.S. treasury securities. Such instruments are classified by the Company within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. U.S. treasuries are valued using unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access.

EnteroMedics Inc.

(A development stage company)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The types of instruments the Company invests in that are valued based on quoted prices in less active markets, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include U.S. agency securities, commercial paper, U.S. corporate bonds and municipal obligations. Such instruments are classified by the Company within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company values these types of assets using consensus pricing or a weighted average price, which is based on multiple pricing sources received from a variety of industry standard data providers (e.g. Bloomberg), security master files from large financial institutions, and other third-party sources. The multiple prices obtained are then used as inputs into a distribution-curve-based algorithm to determine the daily market price.

The Company did not hold any short-term investments as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments generally with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. The Company’s cash equivalents are primarily in money market funds and certificates of deposit. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents in high-quality credit institutions. Under terms of the Company’s note payable agreement (see Note 5), in the event of default, the lender has the right to enforce an account control agreement and restrict the Company’s access to their cash and investment accounts.

Restricted Cash

The Company had $200,000 in a cash collateral money market account as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Pursuant to a lease agreement the Company entered into with Roseville Properties Management Company in July 2008, the Company was required to deliver to Roseville Properties an irrevocable, unconditional, standby letter of credit in the amount of $200,000 on the second anniversary of the commencement of lease payments. The irrevocable standby letter of credit was issued by Silicon Valley Bank, who required the Company to set up a restricted cash collateral money market account to fully secure the standby letter of credit. The fully secured standby letter of credit was maintained through October 1, 2013, per the terms of the lease agreement.

Inventory

The Company accounts for inventory at the lower of cost or market and records any long-term inventory as other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets. The Company’s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to income taxes as income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investment owners and distributions to owners. There was no difference from reported net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The difference from reported net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 related entirely to changes in unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale investments.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title or risk of loss has passed, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Company sells products internationally through distributors and recognizes revenue upon sale to the distributor as these sales are considered to be final and no right of return or price protection exists. Terms of sales to international distributors are generally EXW, reflecting that goods are shipped “ex works,” in which risk of loss is assumed by the distributor at the shipping point. The Company does not provide for rights of return to customers on product sales and therefore does not record a provision for returns.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses include, but are not limited to, product development, clinical trial expenses, including supplies, devices, explants and revisions, regulatory expenses, payroll and other personnel expenses, materials and consulting costs.

Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for outstanding warrants that are not indexed to the Company’s stock or warrants issued when the Company has insufficient authorized and unissued stock available to share settle the outstanding warrants as derivative instruments, which require that the warrants be classified as a liability and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings and recorded separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares calculated using the treasury stock method. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to reduce a net loss per share. The Company’s potential dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options and warrants, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for all periods as the result would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:


	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(6,303,294	)	$	(5,846,840	)	$	(19,207,379	)	$	(16,433,386	)

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:


	September 30,
	2013		2012
Stock options outstanding		11,622,700		7,879,730
Warrants to purchase common stock		25,565,950		21,493,883

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There have been no significant changes in recent accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

(2) Liquidity and Management’s Plans

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period from inception (December 19, 2002) through September 30, 2013 the Company experienced net losses of $219.2 million and cash used in operations of $183.8 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has not emerged from the development stage and had $21.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Assuming the Company does not receive any additional funds, it estimates that it has sufficient funds to operate into 2014 (including scheduled or potentially accelerated debt obligations). In order to fund on-going operating cash requirements beyond that point or to further accelerate and execute its business plan, including commercialization of the Maestro Rechargeable System, the Company will need to raise additional funds.

Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of equity securities, debt financing and interest earned on investments. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining the necessary capital to support its operations, and has similar future plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional equity capital or other financing under commercially reasonable terms and conditions, or at all. Furthermore, if the Company issues equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, existing shareholders may experience dilution and the new equity or debt securities it issues may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. In addition, if the Company raises additional funds through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable. If the Company cannot execute its plan to raise funds on acceptable terms, the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern, develop or enhance products, obtain the required regulatory clearances or approvals, execute the Company’s business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressure or unanticipated customer requirements. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve the Maestro Rechargeable System for commercial use in the U.S., the Company may be required to reduce the scope of, delay, or eliminate some or all of, its planned research, development and commercialization activities, which could materially harm its business. Any of these events would adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve the Company’s development and commercialization goals, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of assets or the amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

(3) Inventory

From inception, inventory related purchases had been used for research and development related activities and had accordingly been expensed as incurred. In December 2011, the Company began receiving Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) listings for components of the Maestro Rechargeable System from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), with the final components being listed on the ARTG in January 2012. As a result, the Company determined certain assets were recoverable as inventory beginning in December 2011. The Company accounts for inventory at the lower of cost or market and records any long-term inventory as other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There was approximately $863,000 and $862,000 of long-term inventory, primarily consisting of raw materials, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Current inventory consists of the following as of:


	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Raw materials	$	307,420	$	198,647
Work-in-process		748,197		1,051,286
Finished goods		116,658		21,274

Inventory	$	1,172,275	$	1,271,207

Operating Lease

The Company rents its office, warehouse and laboratory facilities under an operating lease, which expires on September 30, 2015. Total rent expense recognized for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $67,718 and $203,154, respectively. At September 30, 2013, future minimum payments under the lease are as follows:


Years ending December 31:
Remaining three months in 2013	$	72,480
2014		291,369
2015		221,789

	$	585,638

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 litigation and is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.

The Company is evaluating its product, the Maestro System, in human clinical trials, including the EMPOWER trial and ReCharge trial. Both of these clinical trials require patients to be followed out to 60 months. The Company is required to pay for patient follow up visits only to the extent they occur. In the event a patient does not attend a follow up visit, the Company has no financial obligation. The Company is also required to pay for explants or revisions, including potential conversions of ReCharge control devices to active devices, should a patient request or be required to have one during the course of the clinical trials. The Company has no financial obligation unless an explant, revision or conversion is requested or required. Clinical trial costs are expensed as incurred.

(5) Notes Payable

On April 16, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) pursuant to which SVB agreed to make term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million ($10.0 million of which is not available as the Company did not meet the predefined primary efficacy measures of the ReCharge trial and did not meet certain financial objectives for 2012), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, a term loan was funded in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million on April 23, 2012. The term loan required interest only payments monthly through March 31, 2013 followed by 30 equal payments of principal in the amount of $333,333 plus accrued interest beginning on April 1, 2013 and ending on September 1, 2015, payable monthly. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 8.0%. A 5.0% final payment fee will be due on September 1, 2015. The Company may voluntarily prepay the term loan in full, but not in part, and any voluntary or mandatory prepayment is subject to applicable prepayment premiums and will also include the final payment fee. The Company was required to comply with certain financial covenants that required the Company to generate certain minimum amounts of revenue from the sale of its Maestro System and to implant certain minimum numbers of Maestro Systems during cumulative quarterly measurement periods beginning with the period ended March 31, 2013 and ending with the period ending June 30, 2015. The Company did not meet the financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2013 and therefore entered into a First Amendment (the First Amendment) to the Loan Agreement on May 9, 2013 pursuant to which the Company and SVB agreed to new financial covenants.

The First Amendment eliminated the financial covenants that required the Company to generate certain minimum amounts of revenue from the sale of its Maestro System and to implant certain minimum numbers of Maestro Systems during cumulative quarterly measurement periods beginning with the period ended March 31, 2013 and ending with the period ending June 30, 2015. It also removed SVB’s ability to require the Company to maintain a restricted cash balance of $7.5 million in an SVB account as a result of the Company not meeting the predefined primary efficacy measures of the ReCharge trial.

(Unaudited)

The First Amendment added two new financial covenants, one of which requires the Company to receive cumulative aggregate net proceeds of at least $5.0 million by November 15, 2013, which has been fulfilled through the use of the equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity Inc. (see Note 7), and $10.0 million by April 15, 2014 from new capital transactions. The amount required will adjust up or down based on the Company’s actual cash position compared to its financial plan. The second financial covenant requires the Company to maintain a liquidity ratio (unrestricted cash divided by outstanding debt) of at least 1.25:1.00 until it receives FDA approval for the Maestro Rechargeable System at which point it will be reduced to 0.75:1.00. The First Amendment does not change the interest rate or the amortization structure. The Company will pay SVB a $187,000 success fee in the event the Company receives FDA approval for the Maestro Rechargeable System.

The Company has granted SVB a security interest in all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property except with respect to all license, royalty fees and other revenues and income arising out of or relating to any of the intellectual property and all proceeds of the intellectual property. The Company also has entered into a negative pledge arrangement with SVB pursuant to which it has agreed not to encumber any of its intellectual property without SVB’s prior written consent.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, on April 16, 2012, the Company issued SVB a warrant to purchase 106,746 shares of common stock, exercisable for ten years from the date of grant, at an exercise price of $2.34 per share.

Scheduled debt principal payments are as follows as of September 30, 2013:


Years ending December 31:
Remaining three months in 2013	$	1,000,000
2014		4,000,000
2015		3,000,000

		8,000,000
Less: Original issue discount		(171,591	)

Notes payable, net	$	7,828,409

(6) Stock-based Compensation

The fair value method of accounting for share-based payments is applied to all share-based payment awards issued to employees and where appropriate, nonemployees, unless another source of literature applies. When determining the measurement date of a nonemployee’s share-based payment award, the Company measures the stock options at fair value and remeasures such stock options to the current fair value until the performance date has been reached.

Based on the application of these standards, stock-based compensation expense for stock-based awards under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was allocated to operating expenses and employees and nonemployees as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Research and development	$	373,187	$	319,964	$	1,041,777	$	606,994

(7) Stock Sales

Equity Distribution Agreement—July 2013

On July 31, 2013, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity Inc. (Canaccord) to sell shares of the Company’s common stock having aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $20.0 million, from time to time, through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (ATM) under which Canaccord will act as the Company’s sales agent. The Company will determine, at its sole discretion, the timing and number of shares to be sold under this ATM. The Company will pay Canaccord a commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of common stock equal to 2.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through it as agent under the equity distribution agreement. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had sold 3,000,000 shares under the ATM at a weighted-average selling price of $1.18 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $3.6 million before deducting offering expenses. Subsequent to September 30, 2013 through November 8, 2013, the Company has sold an additional 2,175,000 shares under the ATM at a weighted-average selling price of $1.31 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $2.8 million before deducting offering expenses.

Public Offering—February 2013

On February 27, 2013, the Company closed a public offering, selling 13,770,000 shares of common stock, together with warrants to purchase approximately 5,508,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate price of $0.95 per share and corresponding warrant, for gross proceeds of $13.1 million before deducting offering expenses.

The warrants have an exercise price of $1.14 per share of common stock and are exercisable for a period of five years from February 27, 2013. Holders of the warrants are not permitted to exercise those warrants for an amount of common stock that would result in the holder owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement—October 2012

On October 4, 2012, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Terrapin Opportunity, L.P. (Terrapin) pursuant to which the Company could sell up to the lesser of $45.0 million of its common stock or 8,312,122 shares of its common stock over an approximately 24-month period pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Company was not obligated to utilize any portion of the facility and generally remained free to enter into and consummate other equity and debt financing transactions.

On July 31, 2013, the Company terminated the Purchase Agreement with Terrapin. No shares of common stock were sold under the Purchase Agreement.

Overview

We are a development stage medical device company with approvals to commercially launch our product in Australia, the European Economic Area and other countries that recognize the European CE Mark. We are focused on the design and development of devices that use neuroblocking technology to treat obesity, metabolic diseases and other gastrointestinal disorders. Our proprietary neuroblocking technology, which we refer to as VBLOC therapy, is designed to intermittently block the vagus nerve using high frequency, low energy, electrical impulses. We have a limited operating history and currently, we only have regulatory approval to sell our product in Australia, the European Economic Area and other countries that recognize the European CE Mark and do not have any other source of revenue. Our initial product is the Maestro System, which uses VBLOC therapy to affect metabolic regulatory control, limit the expansion of the stomach, help control hunger sensations between meals, reduce the frequency and intensity of stomach contractions and produce a feeling of early and prolonged fullness. We were formerly known as Beta Medical, Inc. and were incorporated in Minnesota on December 19, 2002. We later reincorporated in Delaware on July 22, 2004. Since inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the development and commercialization of our Maestro System.

Based on our understanding of vagal nerve function and nerve blocking from our preclinical studies and the results of our clinical trials, we believe the Maestro System may offer obese patients a minimally-invasive treatment that has the potential to result in significant and sustained weight loss. We believe that our Maestro System will allow bariatric surgeons to help obese patients who are concerned about the risks and complications associated with currently available restrictive and malabsorptive surgical procedures. In addition, data from our VBLOC-DM2 ENABLE trial outside the United States demonstrate that VBLOC therapy may hold promise in improving obesity-related comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. We are conducting, or plan to conduct, further studies in each of these comorbidities to assess VBLOC therapy’s potential in addressing multiple indications.

We continue to evaluate the Maestro System in human clinical trials in the United States, Australia, Mexico, Norway and Switzerland. To date, we have not observed any mortality related to our device or any unanticipated adverse device effects in these clinical trials. We have also not observed any long-term problematic clinical side effects in any patients, including in those patients who have been using the Maestro System for more than one year.

In October 2010, we received an unconditional Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Supplement approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter pivotal clinical trial, called the ReCharge trial, testing the effectiveness and safety of VBLOC therapy utilizing our second generation Maestro Rechargeable (RC) System. Enrollment and implantation in the ReCharge trial was completed in December 2011 in 239 randomized patients (233 implanted) at 10 centers. All patients in the trial received an implanted device and were randomized in a 2:1 allocation to treatment or control groups. The control group received a non-functional device during the trial period. All patients were expected to participate in a weight management counseling program. The primary endpoints of efficacy and safety were evaluated at 12 months. As announced on February 7, 2013, the ReCharge trial met its primary safety endpoint, though it did not meet its predefined co-primary efficacy endpoints. The trial did, however, demonstrate a clinically meaningful and statistically significant excess weight loss (EWL) of 24.4% for VBLOC therapy-treated patients, with 52.5% of those patients achieving at least 20% EWL. As a result of the positive safety and efficacy profile of VBLOC therapy, we used the data from the ReCharge trial to support a premarket approval (PMA) application for the Maestro Rechargeable System, which we announced was submitted to the FDA in June 2013 and was accepted for review and filing in July 2013. If the FDA grants us approval, we anticipate we will be able to commercialize the Maestro Rechargeable System in the United States in 2014.

If we obtain FDA approval of our Maestro Rechargeable System we intend to market our products in the United States through a direct sales force supported by field technical and marketing managers who provide training, technical and other support services to our customers. Outside the United States, we intend to use direct, dealer and distributor sales models as the targeted geography best dictates. To date, we have relied on third-party manufacturers and suppliers for the production of our Maestro System. We currently anticipate that we will continue to rely on third-party manufacturers and suppliers for the production of the Maestro System.

We obtained European CE Mark approval for our Maestro Rechargeable System in 2011. In January 2012, the final Maestro Rechargeable System components were listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). We have been working closely with our Australian distributor, Device Technologies Australia Pty Limited, to bring the Maestro Rechargeable System to the Australian market through a controlled commercial launch and made our first commercial shipment of the Maestro ReChargeable System to Device Technologies Australia Pty Limited in March 2012. We also entered into an exclusive, multi-year agreement with Bader Sultan & Brothers Co. W.L.L. for commercialization and distribution of the Maestro ReChargeable System in the Gulf Coast Countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and made our first commercial shipments to Bader Sultan & Brothers Co. W.L.L. during the second quarter of 2012. We continue to explore additional select international markets to commercialize the Maestro Rechargeable System, including Europe.

The method of assessing conformity with applicable regulatory requirements varies depending on the class of the device, but for our Maestro System (which is considered an Active Implantable Medical Device (AIMD) in Australia and the European Economic Area, and falls into Class III within the United States), the method involves a combination of self-assessment by the manufacturer of the safety and performance of the device, and a third-party assessment by a Notified Body, usually of the design of the device and of the manufacturer’s quality system. We use DEKRA Certification B.V. (formerly known as KEMA Quality) in the Netherlands as the Notified Body for our CE marking approval process.

Thus far, we have only generated revenue from the sale of products in 2012, and we have incurred net losses in each year since our inception. As of September 30, 2013, we had experienced net losses during the development stage of $219.2 million. Although we have received ARTG listings to sell our Maestro Rechargeable System in Australia and European CE Mark to sell our Maestro Rechargeable System in the European Economic Area and other countries that recognize the European CE Mark, resulting in our first commercial sales in 2012, we expect to incur significant sales and marketing expenses prior to recording sufficient revenue to offset these expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we continue to add the infrastructure necessary to support our initial commercial sales, operate as a public company and develop our intellectual property portfolio. For these reasons, we expect to continue to incur significant and increasing operating losses for the next several years. We have financed our operations to date principally through the sale of equity securities, debt financing and interest earned on investments.

Financial Overview

Revenue

We have received the European CE Mark for our Maestro Rechargeable System, which enables commercialization in the European Economic Area and other countries that recognize the European CE Mark. In January 2012, the final Maestro Rechargeable System components were listed on the ARTG by the Australian TGA and we have been working closely with Device Technologies Australia Pty Limited to bring the Maestro Rechargeable System to the Australian market through a controlled commercial launch and made our first commercial shipment of the Maestro ReChargeable System to Device Technologies Australia Pty Limited in March 2012. We also entered into an exclusive, multi-year agreement with Bader Sultan & Brothers Co. W.L.L. for commercialization and distribution of the Maestro ReChargeable System in the Gulf Coast Countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and made our first commercial shipments to Bader Sultan & Brothers Co. W.L.L. during the second quarter of 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized $311,000 in revenue. We did not recognize any revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to focusing our resources on the U.S. regulatory approval process.

In the United States, we completed enrollment and device implantation in our ReCharge pivotal trial for obesity in December 2011. The primary endpoints of efficacy and safety were evaluated at 12 months. As announced on February 7, 2013, the ReCharge trial met its primary safety endpoint, though it did not meet its predefined co-primary efficacy endpoints. The trial did however demonstrate a clinically meaningful and statistically significant EWL of 24.4% for VBLOC therapy-treated patients, with 52.5% of those patients achieving at least 20% EWL. As a result of the positive safety and efficacy profile of VBLOC therapy, we used the data from the ReCharge trial to support a PMA application for the Maestro Rechargeable System, which we announced was submitted to the FDA in June 2013 and was accepted for review and filing in July 2013. If the FDA grants us approval, we anticipate we will be able to commercialize the Maestro Rechargeable System in the United States in 2014. Any revenue from initial sales of a new product in the United States or internationally is difficult to predict and in any event will only modestly reduce our continued losses resulting from our research and development and other activities.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses primarily consist of engineering, product development and clinical and regulatory expenses, incurred in the development of our Maestro System. Research and development expenses also include employee compensation, including stock-based compensation, consulting services, outside services, materials, clinical trial expenses, including supplies, devices, explants and revisions, depreciation and travel. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred. From inception through September 30, 2013, we have incurred a total of $135.7 million in research and development expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation for executive, finance, market development and administrative personnel, including stock-based compensation. Other significant expenses include costs associated with attending medical conferences, professional fees for legal, including legal services associated with our efforts to obtain and maintain broad protection for the intellectual property related to our products, and accounting services, cash management fees, consulting fees and travel expenses. From inception through September 30, 2013, we have incurred $70.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Sales. There were no sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which was primarily the result of focusing our resources on the U.S. regulatory approval process. There were no sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of Goods Sold. There were no cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $182,000, or 7.0%, was primarily due to increases of $266,000 and $175,000 in devices and professional services, respectively, offset by decreases of $220,000 and $69,000 in payroll-related expenses and travel, respectively. The increase in professional services was primarily related to the continued work around our PMA application for the Maestro Rechargeable System, which was submitted to the FDA in June 2013 and the utilization of consultants in place of permanent employees lost to attrition as reflected in the decrease in payroll-related expenses and travel. The increase in device costs was primarily the result of ReCharge control patients beginning to convert to active devices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $216,000, or 7.2%, was primarily due to increases of $138,000 and $128,000 in employee stock-based compensation and professional services, respectively. The increase in employee stock-based compensation was the result of stock option grants made to management on July 10, 2012 and May 31, 2013. The increase in professional services was primarily related to costs associated with the unblinding of the ReCharge trial and ongoing international commercialization efforts.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $225,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $264,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease of $39,000, or 14.8%, was the result of a loan modification which occurred in April 2012 resulting in interest only payments through March 31, 2013 and monthly principal and interest payments beginning in April 2013.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Sales. There were no sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was primarily the result of focusing our resources on the U.S. regulatory approval process, compared to $311,000 in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The $311,000 of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was the result of our first commercial shipments of the Maestro ReChargeable System beginning in the first quarter of 2012.

Cost of Goods Sold. There were no cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $232,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Gross profit was 25.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $686,000, or 9.1%, was primarily due to increases of $1.1 million and $435,000 in professional services and employee stock-based compensation, respectively, offset by decreases of $753,000 and $231,000 in payroll-related expenses and travel costs, respectively. The increase in professional services was primarily related to costs associated with the unblinding of the ReCharge trial and the resulting work around

our PMA application for the Maestro Rechargeable System, which was submitted to the FDA in June 2013 and the increased utilization of consultants in place of permanent employees lost to attrition. The increase in employee stock-based compensation was the result of stock option grants made to management on July 10, 2012 and May 31, 2013. The increased use of consultants also resulted in the decreases to payroll-related expenses and travel.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $1.8 million, or 21.6%, was primarily due to increases of $1.2 million and $668,000 in employee stock-based compensation and professional services, respectively. The increase in employee stock-based compensation was the result of stock option grants made to management on July 10, 2012 and May 31, 2013. The increase in professional services was primarily related to costs associated with the unblinding of the ReCharge trial and ongoing international commercialization efforts.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $733,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $637,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $97,000, or 15.2%. The increase was the result of a loan modification which occurred in April 2012 increasing the principal balance from $4.7 million to $10.0 million and increasing the interest rate from 6.25% to 8.00% with interest only payments through March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since our inception in December 2002 and, as of September 30, 2013 we had experienced net losses during the development stage of $219.2 million. We have financed our operations to date principally through the sale of equity securities, debt financing and interest earned on investments. Through December 31, 2012, we had received net proceeds of $178.5 million from the sale of common stock and preferred stock, including $39.1 million from our initial public offering in November 2007 and $76.2 million from public, private placement and registered direct offerings from 2009 through 2012. In addition, through December 31, 2012 we had received $41.2 million in debt financing, $746,000 to finance equipment purchases and $40.4 million to finance working capital. We have also received approximately $6.5 million from the exercise of common stock warrants. On February 27, 2013, we closed a public offering, selling 13,770,000 shares of common stock, together with warrants to purchase approximately 5,508,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate price of $0.95 per share and corresponding warrant, for gross proceeds of $13.1 million before deducting offering expenses. As of September 30, 2013 we have also received gross proceeds of $3.6 million before deducting offering expenses, from draws on our “at-the-market” equity offering program (ATM) with Canaccord Genuity Inc., and have received an additional $2.8 million in gross proceeds under the ATM subsequent to September 30, 2013 through November 8, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $21.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Of this amount $16.6 million was invested in short-term money market funds that are not considered to be bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company or other government agency. These money market funds seek to preserve the value of the investment at $1.00 per share; however, it is possible to lose money investing in these funds. Cash in excess of immediate requirements is invested in accordance with our investment policy, primarily with a view to liquidity and capital preservation. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of $21.3 million as of September 30, 2013, in addition to $2.8 million of gross proceeds received from the sale of common stock under the ATM subsequent to September 30, 2013 through November 8, 2013 (see discussion below) and any interest income we earn on these balances, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements (including scheduled or potentially accelerated debt obligations) into 2014, assuming we do not receive any additional funds. In order to fund on-going operating cash requirements beyond that point or to further accelerate and execute our business plan, including commercialization of the Maestro Rechargeable System, we will need to raise additional funds. See further discussion in the below section titled “Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements.”

On April 16, 2012, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) pursuant to which SVB agreed to make term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million ($10.0 million of which is not available as we did not meet the predefined primary efficacy measures of the ReCharge trial and did not meet certain financial objectives for 2012), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, a term loan was funded in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million on April 23, 2012. The term loan required interest only payments monthly through March 31, 2013 followed by 30 equal payments of principal in the amount of $333,333 plus accrued interest beginning on April 1, 2013 and ending on September 1, 2015, payable monthly. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a fixed annual rate equal to 8.0%. A 5.0% final payment fee will be due on September 1, 2015. We may voluntarily prepay the term loan in full, but not in part, and any voluntary or mandatory prepayment is subject to applicable prepayment premiums and will also include the final payment fee. We were required to comply with certain financial covenants that required us to generate certain minimum amounts of revenue from the sale of our Maestro System and to implant certain minimum numbers of Maestro Systems during cumulative quarterly measurement periods beginning with the period ended March 31, 2013 and ending with the period ending June 30, 2015.

We did not meet the financial covenants for the period ended March 31, 2013 and therefore entered into a First Amendment (the First Amendment) to the Loan Agreement on May 9, 2013 pursuant to which we agreed to new financial covenants.

The First Amendment eliminated the financial covenants that required us to generate certain minimum amounts of revenue from the sale of our Maestro System and to implant certain minimum numbers of Maestro Systems during cumulative quarterly measurement periods beginning with the period ended March 31, 2013 and ending with the period ending June 30, 2015. It also removed SVB’s ability to require us to maintain a restricted cash balance of $7.5 million in an SVB account as a result of not meeting the predefined primary efficacy measures of the ReCharge trial.

The First Amendment added two new financial covenants, one of which requires us to receive cumulative aggregate proceeds of at least $5.0 million by November 15, 2013, which has been fulfilled through the use of the equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity Inc. (see discussion below), and $10.0 million by April 15, 2014 from new capital transactions. The amount required will adjust up or down based on our actual cash position compared to our financial plan. The second financial covenant requires us to maintain a liquidity ratio (unrestricted cash divided by outstanding debt) of at least 1.25:1.00 until we receive FDA approval for the Maestro Rechargeable System at which point it will be reduced to 0.75:1.00. The First Amendment does not change the interest rate or the amortization structure. We will pay SVB a $187,000 success fee in the event we receive FDA approval for the Maestro Rechargeable System.

On October 4, 2012, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Terrapin Opportunity, L.P. (Terrapin) under which we could have sold up to the lesser of $45.0 million of common stock or 8,312,122 shares of our common stock over an approximately 24-month period pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. On July 31, 2013, the Company terminated the Purchase Agreement with Terrapin. No shares of common stock were sold under the Purchase Agreement.

On July 31, 2013, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord Genuity Inc. (Canaccord) to sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross sales proceeds of up to $20.0 million, from time to time, through an ATM under which Canaccord will act as our sales agent. We will determine, at our sole discretion, the timing and number of shares to be sold under this ATM. We will pay Canaccord a commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of common stock equal to 2.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through it as agent under the equity distribution agreement. As of September 30, 2013, we had sold 3,000,000 shares under the ATM at a weighted-average selling price of $1.18 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $3.6 million before deducting offering expenses. Subsequent to September 30, 2013 through November 8, 2013, we have sold an additional 2,175,000 shares under the ATM at a weighted-average selling price of $1.31 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $2.8 million before deducting offering expenses.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $14.1 million and $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities primarily reflects the net loss for those periods, which was partially offset by depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The decrease of $2.9 million was primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses as payments related to 2011 ReCharge trial activity began to be paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $410,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $948,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to $1.0 million in maturities of short-term investments available for sale.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.4 million and $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to a public offering that resulted in gross proceeds of $13.1 million for the issuance of common stock and common stock warrants and gross proceeds from ATM draws of $3.6 million, offset by $1.3 million in financing costs and principal repayments of $2.0 million on our long-term debt. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily the result of $5.3 million in net proceeds from the initial term loan funded pursuant to the new loan agreement entered into on April 16, 2012 with SVB, net proceeds of $4.7 million from the April 16, 2012 registered direct offering and $5.5 million from the exercise of common stock warrants. These increases were partially offset by principal repayments of $753,000 on our long-term debt.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We have only generated revenue from the sale of products in 2012 and do not expect to have significant sales, if any, in 2013 as we continue to focus our resources on the U.S. regulatory approval process. We obtained European CE Mark approval for our Maestro Rechargeable System in 2011. In January 2012, the final Maestro Rechargeable System components were listed on the ARTG by the TGA. We have been working closely with our Australian distributor, Device Technologies Australia Pty Limited, to bring the Maestro Rechargeable System to the Australian market through a controlled commercial launch and made our first commercial shipment of the Maestro ReChargeable System to Device Technologies Australia Pty Limited in March 2012. We also entered into an exclusive, multi-year agreement with Bader Sultan & Brothers Co. W.L.L. for commercialization and distribution of the Maestro ReChargeable System in the Gulf Coast Countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and began commercial shipments to Bader Sultan & Brothers Co. W.L.L. during the second quarter of 2012. We continue to explore additional select international markets to commercialize the Maestro Rechargeable System, including Europe. In the United States, we completed enrollment and device implantation in our ReCharge pivotal trial for obesity in December 2011. The primary endpoints of efficacy and safety were evaluated at 12 months. As announced on February 7, 2013, the ReCharge trial demonstrated a clinically meaningful and statistically significant EWL of 24.4% for VBLOC therapy-treated patients, with 52.5% of those patients achieving at least 20% EWL. The trial met its primary safety endpoint, though it did not meet its predefined primary efficacy measures. As a result of the positive safety and efficacy profile of VBLOC therapy, we used the data from the ReCharge trial to support a PMA application for the Maestro Rechargeable System, which we announced was submitted to the FDA in June 2013 and accepted for review and filing in July 2013. If the FDA grants us approval, we anticipate we will be able to commercialize the Maestro Rechargeable System in the United States in 2014. We anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial net losses for the next several years as we develop our products, prepare for the potential commercial launch of our Maestro Rechargeable System, develop the corporate infrastructure required to sell our products, operate as a publicly-traded company and pursue additional applications for our technology platform.

We believe that the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of approximately $21.3 million as of September 30, 2013, in addition to $2.8 million of gross proceeds received from the sale of common stock under the ATM subsequent to September 30, 2013 through November 8, 2013, and any interest income we earn on these balances, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements (including scheduled or potentially accelerated debt obligations) into 2014, assuming we do not receive any additional funds. In order to fund on-going operating cash requirements beyond that point or to further accelerate and execute our business plan, including commercialization of the Maestro Rechargeable System, we will need to raise additional funds. If our available cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek additional funding through the ATM, sell additional equity or debt securities or enter into a credit facility. Obtaining funds through the ATM or through the sale of additional equity and debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We may require additional capital beyond our currently forecasted amounts. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, or the FDA does not approve the Maestro Rechargeable System for commercial use in the U.S., we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay, or eliminate some or all of, our planned research, development and commercialization activities, which could materially harm our business. In addition, if we raise additional funds through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable.

Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations, the costs to complete development of products and the cost to commercialize our products are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of medical devices, such as our Maestro System, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the development of the products and successfully deliver a commercial product to the market. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities;

•

the cost and timing of regulatory approvals;

•

the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;

•

the cost of any recalls or other field actions required either by us or by regulatory bodies in those countries in which we market our products;

•

the cost of establishing clinical and commercial supplies of our Maestro System and any products that we may develop;

•

the rate of market acceptance of our Maestro System and VBLOC therapy and any other product candidates;

•

the cost of filing and prosecuting patent applications and defending and enforcing our patent and other intellectual property rights;

•

the cost of defending, in litigation or otherwise, any claims that we infringe third-party patent or other intellectual property rights;

•

the effect of competing products and market developments;

•

the cost of explanting clinical devices;

•

the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish;

•

any revenue generated by sales of our Maestro System or our future products; and

•

the extent to which we invest in products and technologies, although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In doing so, we have to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In many cases, we could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on past experiences and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Contractual Obligations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no material changes to our contractual obligation disclosures as set forth under the caption, “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2013 and the effect those obligations are expected to have on our financial condition and liquidity position in future periods:


	Payments Due By Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years
Operating lease	$	585,638	$	289,920	$	295,718	$	—	$	—
Long-term debt, including interest and final payment fee		9,175,111		4,499,778		4,675,333		—		—

Total contractual cash obligations	$	9,760,749	$	4,789,698	$	4,971,051	$	—	$	—

The table above reflects only payment obligations that are fixed and determinable and does not reflect potential accelerated debt payments in the event of a default. Our operating lease commitments relate to our corporate headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were no significant changes in recent accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is confined to our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. As of September 30, 2013, we had $21.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The goals of our investment policy are preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and fiduciary control of cash and investments. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. To achieve our goals, we may maintain a portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities of high credit quality. The securities in our investment portfolio, if any, are not leveraged, are classified as either available for sale or held-to-maturity and are, due to their very short-term nature, subject to minimal interest rate risk. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any material negative impact on the value of our investment portfolio. We have no investments denominated in foreign currencies and therefore our investments are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those 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 recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation as of September 30, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
