NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements concerning our business, operations, financial performance and condition as well as our plans, objectives and expectations for our business, operations and financial performance and condition. Any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

    our expectations with respect to regulatory submissions and approvals;

 

    our expectations with respect to our clinical trials, including enrollment in our clinical trials;

 

    our expectations with respect to our intellectual property position;

 

    our ability to commercialize our products;

 

    our ability to develop and commercialize new products; and

 

    our estimates regarding our capital requirements and our need for additional financing.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential,” “aims,” “assumes,” “goal,” “intends,” “objective,” “potential,” “positioned,” “target,” “continue,” “seek” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and our management’s beliefs and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or development and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are in some cases beyond our control. As a result, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may later become inaccurate. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section (which incorporates by reference to our registration statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC), that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make.

You are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to our Form 10 completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. These forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless required by law, we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or otherwise. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Nature of Business

GI Dynamics, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 24, 2003, as a Delaware corporation, with operations based in Lexington, Massachusetts. The Company designs, develops, and markets medical devices for non-surgical approaches to treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. Since incorporation, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to product commercialization, research and development, business planning, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets, and raising capital. The Company began commercial sales of its product, EndoBarrier®, in 2011 and currently operates in one reportable business segment which designs, manufactures and markets medical devices.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other medical device companies, including, but not limited to, market acceptance of the Company’s products, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, safety and efficacy of the products in clinical trials, the regulatory approval process governing medical devices, raising additional capital and protection of proprietary technology.

On October 6, 2014, the Company’s Notified Body in the European Union, an organization that has been accredited by a Member State to assess whether a product meets certain preordained standards, has temporarily suspended the Company’s commercial product shipments of the EndoBarrier labeled with a CE Mark, affecting all countries where the Company is currently selling EndoBarrier, pending a review of the Company’s vigilance and reporting systems. A CE Mark is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area. The suspension of shipments is not a product recall and does not apply to products currently owned by hospitals or distributors, or products required for use in clinical trials. The Company plans to continue its ongoing clinical trial activities, including the pivotal trial currently underway in the United States. In response to the Notified Body’s specific requests for corrective action relating to vigilance and reporting systems, the Company has formally submitted its responses for review by the Notified Body. The Company believes it has remediated the deficiencies in question, but continues to work closely with the governing authorities in Europe to resolve any remaining questions in order to resume product shipments as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the Company is continuing to manufacture its product as the design and manufacturing of the EndoBarrier has not been a subject of the Notified Body’s inquiry and action. As a result of the temporary suspension of commercial product shipments, the Company expects revenue to decrease in the three months ending December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and at September 30, 2014, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $185.8 million. At September 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $61.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, which it believes is sufficient to fund its operations through at least September 30, 2015. In September 2011, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) in Australia. As a result of the IPO and simultaneous private placement in the U.S., the Company raised a total of approximately $72.5 million in proceeds, net of expenses and repayment of $6.0 million of the Company’s Convertible Term Promissory Notes. Additionally, in July and August 2013, the Company sold CDIs on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) through a private placement and Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”), which raised a total of approximately $52.5 million, net of expenses. In May 2014, the Company raised an additional approximately $30.8 million, net of expenses, when it sold CDIs on the ASX through a private placement.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures as of September 30, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s registration statement on Form 10 (“Form 10”). The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2014, results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The interim

results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s Form 10.

In addition to the consignment-like arrangements described in Note 2 in the Company’s Form 10, in which the Company recognizes revenue when the product is implanted or otherwise consumed and payment is received from the customer, the Company has entered into consignment arrangements in which the Company delivers the product to the customer but retains title to the product until it is implanted or otherwise consumed. In these arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue once it receives proof of third party purchase, usually in the form of a customer purchase order.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GI Dynamics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation and related reserves, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, research and development, contingencies and stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events occurring after the date of its condensed consolidated balance sheet for potential recognition or disclosure in its condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no subsequent events other than that disclosed in Note 1 that have occurred through the date the Company issued its condensed consolidated financial statements that require disclosure in or adjustment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications related to the presentation of income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss have been made to prior year amounts to conform with current year presentation. In prior years, income tax expense was included in operating expenses as the amounts were not material.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the effect of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common stock equivalents are determined using the treasury stock method. For diluted net loss per share purposes, the Company excludes stock options and other stock-based awards, including shares issued as a result of option exercises but which are subject to repurchase by the Company, whose effect would be anti-dilutive from the calculation. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share, as their effect was anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred. The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, as they would be anti-dilutive:

4. Common Stock Warrants

In connection with the Company’s IPO in September 2011, the Company issued warrants in an aggregate amount of 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of A$5.50 per share to the lead manager of the IPO and certain other investors. The warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary of their date of grant. The warrants may be converted on a cashless basis at the option of the holder. The Company has reserved 500,000 shares of common stock related to these warrants.

The Company accounts for the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). In accordance with the guidance included in ASC 815, because the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar and the exercise price of the warrants is in Australian dollars, the Company is exposed to currency exchange risk related to the warrants. As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and therefore, the warrants are classified as a liability and the fair value of the warrants must be remeasured at each reporting period. At the time the warrants were issued, the Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company remeasured the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period using current assumptions and current foreign exchange rates, with changes in value recorded as other income or expense (Note 5).

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The tables below present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company used to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points in which there is little or no market data, requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions for the asset or liability.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities the Company has measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and highly liquid nature of these instruments.

6. Concentrations of Credit Risk, Accounts Receivable and Related Valuation Account

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances with high quality financial institutions, and consequently, the Company believes that such funds are subject to minimal credit risk. The Company’s short-term investments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company has adopted an investment policy that limits the amounts the Company may invest in any one type of investment and requires all investments held by the Company to have a rating of not less than A, thereby reducing credit risk concentration.

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from customers. The Company’s accounts receivable are with distributors and health care providers in different countries. In light of the current economic state of many foreign countries, the Company continues to monitor the creditworthiness of its customers.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, one distributor accounted for approximately 47% and 49% of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable at either September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business but generally does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables. The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides an allowance for receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices and the overall quality and age of those invoices not individually reviewed. The Company believes that credit risks associated with these customers are not significant. To date, the Company has not had any write-offs of bad debt, and as such, the Company does not have an allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

In certain circumstances the Company allows customers to return defective or nonconforming products for credit or replacement products. Defective or nonconforming products typically include those products that resulted in an unsuccessful implant procedure. The Company records an estimate for product returns based upon historical trends. The associated reserve for product returns is included in the Company’s accounts receivable.

The following table shows the components of the Company’s accounts receivable at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

7. Inventory

The Company states inventory at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market. The Company records a provision for excess, expired, and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimates of forecasted revenues. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired, and obsolete inventory in the future. When capitalizing inventory, the Company considers factors such as status of regulatory approval, alternative use of inventory, and anticipated commercial use of the product.

Inventory at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):

 

     September 30,

The Company has entered into consignment arrangements in which the Company delivers the product to the customer but retains title to the product until it is implanted or otherwise consumed. At September 30, 2014, an immaterial amount of the finished goods inventory was at customer locations pursuant to these arrangements.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

In June 2013, the Company entered into a noncancelable agreement to sublease 33,339 square feet of office, laboratory and manufacturing space in Lexington, Massachusetts. The sublease commenced in June 2013 and expires in December 2016, subject to earlier termination under certain conditions. Base rent during the initial rent period is approximately $0.6 million per year and increases annually by approximately $17,000. The space was delivered to the Company in June 2013 and rent payments commenced in May 2014. The rent expense, inclusive of the escalating rent payments and free rent period, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease agreement. In accordance with the terms of the sublease agreement, the Company maintains an unsecured letter of credit of approximately $0.2 million securing its obligations under the sublease agreement.

10. Commitments (continued)

 

In March 2012, the Company’s subsidiary, GID Germany GmbH, entered into a noncancelable operating lease for office space in Dusseldorf, Germany. The lease was renewed in September 2013 and was extended through April 2015 and is subject to earlier termination based on certain terms and conditions. The lease will extend automatically for successive twelve-month periods until terminated. The rent expense, inclusive of the free rent periods, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the current lease agreement.

In July 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, GI Dynamics Australia Pty Ltd, entered into a noncancelable operating lease for office space in Baulkham Hills, Australia. The initial term of the lease was for twelve months, which expired in July 2014. The Company exercised its option to renew the lease and extended the term through July 2015, subject to earlier termination under certain conditions.

Rent expense on noncancelable operating leases was approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Rent expense on noncancelable operating leases was approximately $0.4 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases at September 30, 2014, are as follows (in thousands):

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these ongoing legal matters, individually and in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Guarantees

The Company has identified the guarantees described below as disclosable, in accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees.

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is unlimited; however, the Company has directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that should limit its exposure and enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

The Company is a party to a number of agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that contain typical provisions that obligate the Company to indemnify the other parties to such agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. Such indemnification obligations are usually in effect from the date of execution of the applicable agreement for a period equal to the applicable statute of limitations. The aggregate maximum potential future liability of the Company under such indemnification provisions is uncertain.

10. Commitments (continued)

 

The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company has standard indemnification arrangements under the leases that require it to indemnify its landlords against all costs, expenses, fines, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, and actions directly resulting from any breach, violation or nonperformance of any covenant or condition of the Company’s leases. The aggregate maximum potential future liability of the Company under such indemnification provisions is uncertain.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had not experienced any material losses related to these indemnification obligations and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. The Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of these obligations is negligible. As a result, the Company has not established any related reserves.

11. Stock Plans

The Company has two stock-based compensation plans under which stock options, restricted and unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and other share-based awards are available for grant to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. At September 30, 2014, there were 713,121 shares available for future grant under both plans.

Stock-Based Compensation

In calculating stock-based compensation costs, the Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived, exchange-traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Company estimates the number of awards that will be forfeited in calculating compensation costs. Such costs are then recognized over the requisite service period of the awards on a straight-line basis.

Determining the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the award and expected stock price volatility. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

     Three Months Ended
September 30,
    Nine Months Ended

Risk-free interest rate

     2.1     1.8     2.1     1.1

Expected dividend yield

     —       —       —       —  

The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeiture rates. The Company’s estimated forfeiture rates were 5% and 2% at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company modified the terms of stock awards previously granted to an employee upon his change in status from employee to non-employee. The modifications included an extension of the exercise period after the status change with respect to certain of the awards and the extension of the vesting of certain options through the end of his expected service to the Company. These modifications resulted in an immaterial increase in stock-based compensation. The Company accounted for the modifications of stock awards in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Stock awards that are modified and continue to vest when an employee has a change in employment status are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms.

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $11.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock option grants under the plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years. The total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures. The Company also has unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock options with performance-based vesting criteria that are not considered probable of achievement as of September 30, 2014; therefore the Company has not yet begun to recognize the expense on these awards.

11. Stock Plans (continued)

 

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.23 and $2.13, respectively, and $1.53 and $1.96 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately none and $32,000, respectively, and approximately $4.3 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The intrinsic value represents the difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the stock option. Cash received from option exercises during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $82,000 and $6,000, respectively, and approximately $0.6 million and $42,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No tax benefits were realized from options and other stock-based payment arrangements during these periods.

The stock-based compensation plans provide that grantees may have the right to exercise an option prior to vesting. Shares purchased upon the exercise of unvested options will be subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying options, and are subject to repurchase at the original exercise price by the Company should the grantee discontinue providing services to the Company for any reason, prior to becoming fully vested in such shares. At September 30, 2014, there were 35,000 shares issued pursuant to the exercise of unvested options that remain unvested and subject to repurchase by the Company. The exercise of these shares is not substantive and as a result, the cash paid for the exercise price is considered a deposit or prepayment of the exercise price and is recorded as a liability. Additionally, while, the shares subject to repurchase are included in the legally issued shares, they are excluded from the calculation of outstanding shares. At December 31, 2013, there were no shares subject to repurchase by the Company.

Restricted Stock Units

Each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. RSUs generally vest on a pro-rata basis on each anniversary of the issuance date over four years or vest in equal parts upon the achievement of a product revenue milestone and a regulatory milestone. There is no consideration payable on the vesting of RSUs issued under the plans. Upon vesting, the RSUs are exercised automatically and settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company awarded a total of 2,095,720 RSUs to employees of the Company.

The following table summarizes information related to the RSUs and activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

11. Stock Plans (continued)

 

The fair value of each RSU award equals the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of RSUs granted in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $2.15 and $2.26, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $2.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested RSU awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. The Company also has unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs with performance-based vesting criteria that are not considered probable of achievement as of September 30, 2014; therefore the Company has not yet begun to recognize the expense on these awards.

12. Segment Reporting

Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has one reportable segment which designs, develops, manufactures and markets medical devices for non-surgical approaches to treating type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Geographic Reporting

All the Company’s revenue is attributable to customers outside the U.S. The Company is dependent on favorable economic and regulatory environments for its products. Products are sold to customers located in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and South America and sales are attributed to a country or region based on the location of the customer to whom the products are sold.

At September 30, 2014, long-lived assets, comprised of property and equipment, of approximately $1.2 million are primarily held in the U.S. Total long-lived assets held outside of the U.S. represent less than 1% of total long-lived assets.

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

Forward-Looking Information

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our registration statement on Form 10, or our Form 10. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Form 10 which are incorporated herein by reference, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a medical device company headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, that focuses on the development and commercialization of effective, non-surgical approaches for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. We have commercially launched our lead product, the EndoBarrier®, which is now being sold in select markets in Europe and South America, as well as Australia and the Middle East. In countries where reimbursement is required for broad-based use, we are endeavoring to secure such reimbursement. In other countries where patients are more accustomed to paying for all or a majority of health care expenses, we are growing such markets or pursuing regulatory approvals.

Currently, we are focused on the commercial rollout of the EndoBarrier in selected countries in Europe and South America, as well as in Australia and Israel. Consistent with executing our commercial strategy during 2014, we expect to continue to drive broad-based market awareness among patients and physicians in our commercial geographies, continue to support increasing adoption of EndoBarrier Therapy at existing medical centers, and train doctors in new medical centers. To achieve broad-based clinical acceptance and commercial uptake, reimbursement coverage by health care insurers will be required in many markets.

In certain geographies where reimbursement is necessary for clinical acceptance and commercial uptake, such as in Europe, we are already receiving partial reimbursement in certain markets at a local or national level, but we have not yet achieved full or national reimbursement in any market.

In self-pay markets where we have regulatory approval, we are currently focusing on expanding both the product use per center and the number of centers. We are also seeking regulatory approval in other countries that we believe will have a large self-pay population, such as Brazil.

In the U.S., we have received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, to commence our pivotal trial, which we began in 2013. The multi-center, randomized, double-blinded study will enroll 500 patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and obesity at as many as 25 sites in the U.S. The primary endpoint is improvement in diabetes control as measured by HbA1c levels. As of September 30, 2014, 24 of a possible 25 clinical sites across the U.S. have initiated patient recruitment and a total of 237 patients have been enrolled in the study. Following completion of the trial, we intend to submit our results to the FDA seeking regulatory approval for commercial sale in the U.S.

On October 6, 2014, our Notified Body in the European Union, an organization that has been accredited by a Member State to assess whether a product meets certain preordained standards, has temporarily suspended our commercial product shipments of the EndoBarrier labeled with a CE Mark, affecting all countries where we are currently selling EndoBarrier, pending a review of our vigilance and reporting systems. A CE Mark is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area. The suspension of shipments is not a product recall and does not apply to products currently owned by hospitals or distributors, or products required for use in clinical trials. We plan to continue our ongoing clinical trial activities, including the U.S. pivotal trial currently underway in the United States. In response to the Notified Body’s specific requests for corrective action relating to vigilance and reporting systems, we have formally submitted our responses for review by the Notified Body. We believe we have remediated the deficiencies in question, but continue to work closely with the governing authorities in Europe to resolve any remaining questions in order to resume product shipments as soon as possible. Meanwhile, we are continuing to manufacture our product as the design and manufacturing of the EndoBarrier has not been a subject of the Notified Body’s inquiry and action. As a result of the temporary suspension of commercial product shipments, we expect revenue to decrease in the three months ending December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

For financial reporting purposes, we have one reportable segment which designs, manufactures and markets medical devices for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

To date, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to product commercialization, research and development, business planning, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets, and raising capital. We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception in 2003. As of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $185.8 million. We expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we continue our clinical trials, continue research and development into product improvements and next generation products, enhance our infrastructure and expand commercial markets.

We have raised net proceeds of approximately $231.5 million through sales of our equity. We generated $75.7 million in proceeds, net of expenses, through the sale of convertible preferred stock to a number of U.S. venture capital firms, two global medical device manufacturers and individuals. In September 2011, we raised approximately $72.5 million, net of expenses and repayment of $6.0 million of Convertible Term Promissory Notes, in our initial public offering, or IPO, in Australia and simultaneous private placement of CHESS Depositary Interests, or CDIs, to accredited investors in the U.S. In July and August 2013, we raised approximately $52.5 million, net of expenses, in an offering of our CDIs to sophisticated, professional and accredited investors in Australia, the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions. In May 2014, we raised approximately $30.8 million, net of expenses, in an offering of our CDIs to sophisticated, professional and accredited investors in Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and certain other jurisdictions. In connection with the IPO, all of our existing shares of preferred stock were converted into common stock.

In June 2011, we issued Convertible Term Promissory Notes to several of our shareholders totaling $6.0 million, which were repaid concurrent with the closing of our IPO with the associated gross proceeds.

Our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility are located in Lexington, Massachusetts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, research and development and stock-based compensation are monitored and analyzed by us for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on our historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies as reported in our Form 10.

Results of Operations

The following is a description of significant components of our operations, including significant trends and uncertainties that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.

Revenue. The increase in revenue of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to increases in sales in Europe, South America and Australia of approximately 52%, 28% and 1,026%, respectively, in those markets, partially offset by a decrease of approximately 92% in sales in the Middle East. In each market where sales increased, the increase was the result of increased unit volume.

The increase in revenue of approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to increases in sales in Europe, South America, Australia and the Middle East of approximately 122%, 37%, 158% and 28%, respectively, in those markets. In each of these markets, the increase in sales was the result of increased unit volume.

As a result of the temporary suspension of commercial product shipments, we expect revenue to decrease in the three months ending December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, with a corresponding decrease in gross profit.

Table of Contents

We believe we have remediated the deficiencies related to our vigilance and reporting systems that were identified by our Notified Body. We continue to work closely with the governing authorities in Europe to resolve any remaining questions so that we may resume product shipments as soon as possible.

Cost of Revenue. The decrease in cost of revenue was approximately $39,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the cost of revenue was primarily related to a more efficient utilization of manufacturing resources partially offset by an increase in units sold. The increase in cost of revenue was approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily related to the increase in sales during the corresponding period.

The increase in the gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, as well as for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was the result of improved utilization of our manufacturing infrastructure as we increased production volume to meet increased sales and clinical trial requirements. We expect that our gross margin will vary, and may vary significantly, quarter to quarter due to our current stage of commercial development. Specifically, factors such as changes in volume of inventory production, utilization of our manufacturing capacity, changes in our manufacturing spending, and overall economies of scale may vary as revenues increase. Although we experienced a gross profit in the three months ended September 30, 2014, we may experience a gross loss in future periods based upon these changes.

Research and Development Expense. The increase in research and development expense of approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase of approximately $2.4 million in clinical trial expenses, primarily third-party expenses related to our U.S. pivotal trial, such as those relating to our clinical research organization and to our clinical sites as we continue enrolling patients, and an increase of approximately $0.4 million in compensation and other employee related costs related to new hires made during 2013 and 2014 to support our research and development efforts.

The increase in research and development expense of approximately $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase of approximately $6.5 million in clinical trial and other study related expenses, primarily third-party expenses related to our U.S. pivotal trial, such as those relating to our clinical research organization and to our clinical sites as we continue enrolling patients, and an increase of approximately $1.3 million in compensation and other employee related costs related to new hires made during 2013 and 2014 to support our research and development efforts, and an increase of approximately $0.9 million in consulting expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expense. The decrease in sales and marketing expense was approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of lower spending on marketing related activities to support our commercialization efforts.

The increase in sales and marketing expense was approximately $31,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase of approximately $0.3 million was primarily the result of compensation and other employee related costs largely associated with the termination of our chief commercial officer, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in marketing related activities to support our commercialization efforts.

General and Administrative Expense. The increase in general and administrative expense of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily a result of compensation and other employee related costs associated with the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer.

Table of Contents

The increase in general and administrative expense of approximately $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.0 million in compensation and employee related expenses largely associated with the departure and replacement of our chief executive officer, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in legal fees primarily associated with the successful settlement of our lawsuit with W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. in January 2013 and a non-recurring stock-based compensation charge of approximately $0.4 million incurred in the first quarter of 2013.

Interest Income. The decrease in interest income was approximately $0.1 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decreases during both periods were due to lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher average cash and cash equivalents balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by approximately $1,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 and approximately $3,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decreases during both periods resulted from lower outstanding balances on our credit facility related to our enterprise resource planning system. The credit facility was fully repaid in August 2014.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss). The decrease in foreign exchange gain was approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of the depreciation of the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the appreciation of the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar during the corresponding period in 2013.

The decrease in foreign exchange loss was approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in loss was primarily the result of less depreciation of the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar during the respective period in 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013.

Remeasurement of Warrant Liability. The increase in the remeasurement of warrant liability was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The increases were the result of a decrease in the fair value of the warrants resulting from the change in the market value of the common stock underlying the warrants and the change in the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the U.S. dollar during both the three and nine month periods in 2014 compared with an increase in the fair value of the warrants during the corresponding periods in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses since our inception in March 2003 and, as of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $185.8 million. We have financed our operations from a combination of sales of equity securities and issuances of convertible term notes. In June 2011, we generated approximately $6.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our Convertible Term Promissory Notes. In September 2011, we generated approximately $72.5 million in proceeds, net of expenses and repayment of

$6.0 million of Convertible Term Promissory Notes, from our IPO in Australia and simultaneous private placement in the U.S. In July and August 2013, we generated approximately $52.5 million in proceeds, net of expenses, from a private placement and share purchase plan of our CDIs. In May 2014, we generated approximately $30.8 million in proceeds, net of expenses, from a private placement of our CDIs. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $61.2 million of cash and cash equivalents.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents balance increased by approximately $2.6 million as we received approximately $30.8 million in net proceeds from our May 2014 private equity placement and approximately $0.6 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. These sources of cash were partially offset by the approximately $28.5 million in cash used to operate our business, such as making payments related to, among other things, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses as we continued to fund our U.S. pivotal trial and support the commercialization of the EndoBarrier.

The following table sets forth the major sources and uses of cash for each of the periods set forth below:

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $28.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a result of:

 

    funding our net loss of approximately $34.1 million;

 

    a net positive adjustment to cash flow from changes in working capital of approximately $2.0 million resulting primarily from increases in accrued expenses; and

 

    a net positive adjustment to cash flow from non-cash items of approximately $3.6 million, primarily from stock-based compensation expense.

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $27.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of:

 

    funding our net loss of approximately $26.5 million;

 

    a net negative adjustment to cash flow from changes in working capital of approximately $4.0 million resulting primarily from an increase in inventory and a decrease in accrued expenses;

 

    a net positive adjustment to cash flow from non-cash items of approximately $3.5 million, primarily from stock-based compensation expense.

We expect that the temporary suspension of our commercial shipments will have an adverse effect on our cash flow from operating activities as a result of lower anticipated revenue in the three months ending December 31, 2014. However, we do not believe our remediation efforts will have a material adverse impact on our cash flow from operations.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled approximately $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and resulted from the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled approximately $31.3 million and resulted primarily from approximately $30.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of CDIs in the private equity placement in May 2014, and approximately $0.6 million in proceeds received upon the exercise of stock options.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled approximately $52.5 million and resulted primarily from approximately $52.5 million in net proceeds from the issuance of CDIs in the private placement and Share Purchase Plan in July and August 2013.

Funding Requirements

As of September 30, 2014 our primary source of liquidity was our cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $61.2 million. We believe our current cash balances, together with the net product revenues, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements to fund our U.S. pivotal trial, further expand the commercialization of the EndoBarrier, invest in our manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure, and to fund our currently contemplated research and development efforts through at least September 2015.

Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations, fund our U.S. pivotal trial, further expand the commercialization of the EndoBarrier, invest in our manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure, and to fund our currently contemplated research and development efforts 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 “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10. 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.

Due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of the EndoBarrier, we are unable to estimate precisely the amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the development of, and to obtain regulatory approval for, the EndoBarrier (other than in select markets in Europe, South America and Australia) for the U.S. and other markets for which we believe the EndoBarrier is suited. Our funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

    the rate of progress and cost of our commercialization activities;

 

    the expenses we incur in marketing and selling the EndoBarrier;

 

    the revenue generated by sales of the EndoBarrier;

 

    the product performance from a safety and efficacy standpoint in addressing diabetes and obesity;

 

    the success of our investment in our manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure;

 

    the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for the EndoBarrier in new markets;

 

    the success of our research and development efforts, including the U.S. pivotal trial;

 

    the ability to ship CE marked products;

 

    the emergence of competing or complementary developments; and

 

    the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights.

We may, from time to time, consider additional funding through a combination of new collaborative arrangements, strategic alliances, and additional equity and debt financings or from other sources. We will continue to manage our capital structure and to consider financing opportunities, whenever they may occur, that could strengthen our long-term liquidity profile. Any such capital transactions may or may not be similar to transactions in which we have engaged in the past. There can be no assurance that any such financing opportunities will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships. We enter into guarantees in the ordinary course of business related to the guarantee of our own performance and the performance of our subsidiaries.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The disclosure of our contractual obligations and commitments is set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Commitments and Obligations” in our Form 10.

We exercised our option to renew the lease for our Baulkham Hills, Australia office for an additional 12 months and extended the lease through July 2015. Other than this, there have been no material changes from the contractual commitments and obligations previously disclosed in that registration statement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which stipulates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We develop, manufacture and sell the EndoBarrier globally and our earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our cash and cash equivalents of approximately $61.2 million at September 30, 2014 consisted of cash and money market funds, all of which will be used for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. 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. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates in the U.S. and Australia. Because of the short-term nature of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to changes in their fair values as a result of changes in interest rates. The continuation of historically low interest rates in the U.S. will limit our earnings on investments held in U.S. dollars.

We currently bear no debt and the debt we previously held bore a fixed rate and therefore had minimal exposure to changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

We conduct business in foreign countries. For U.S. reporting purposes, we translate all assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. entities at the period-end exchange rate and revenue and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the periods. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as a component of net loss.

We generate a significant portion of our revenue and collect receivables in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies, including the Euro, British Pound and Australian dollar, can result in foreign currency exchange gains and losses that may significantly impact our financial results. These foreign currency transaction and translation gains and losses are presented as a separate line item in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Continued fluctuation of these exchange rates could result in financial results that are not comparable from quarter to quarter. We do not currently utilize foreign currency contracts to mitigate the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of non-functional currency assets and liabilities but do hold cash reserves in currencies in which those reserves are anticipated to be expended.

All of the proceeds from our 2011, 2013 and 2014 offerings were denominated in Australian dollars, and as of September 30, 2014 we held the equivalent of approximately US$6.6 million denominated as Australian dollars. Accordingly, we have had and will continue to have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. A change of 10% or more in foreign currency exchange rates of the Australian dollar or the Euro would have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations if our revenue continues to be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar or if we retain a substantial portion of our cash and cash equivalents in Australian dollars. For example during the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, the Australian dollar depreciated from US$0.9420 to US$0.8752 which contributed to our realized and unrealized foreign exchange loss of approximately $0.5 million.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation and changing prices over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 had a significant impact on our results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Form 10 and as set forth below, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10 and noted below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could also materially and adversely affect any of our business, financial condition or future results. The trading price of our CDIs may decline due to these risks.

We are subject to extensive and dynamic medical device regulation in the European Union and other areas and countries where we sell the EndoBarrier, which may impede or hinder the approval or sale of our products and, in some cases, may ultimately result in an inability to obtain approval of certain products or may result in the recall or seizure of previously approved products.

Before we can market our products in the European Union, or EU, and in many other parts of the world, we must obtain CE Mark certification, which indicates that a product meets the essential requirements of applicable EU Directives and has been subject to the appropriate conformity assessment route. This conformity assessment procedure is often done through a self-certification, but depending on the type of product, may also require verification by an independent certification body, called a “Notified Body.” Notified Bodies will also periodically audit us to ensure that we remain in compliance with the applicable requirements. The CE Mark allows free movement of products in the EU, the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland although any of the member countries may require medical devices to be registered and also impose requirements relating to the language of the device information. Many non-European countries also recognize and accept the CE Mark. If we cannot support our performance claims and demonstrate continued compliance with the applicable EU requirements, we could lose our right to affix the CE Mark to our products, which would prevent us from selling our products within the territory and in other countries that recognize the CE Mark.

In addition, we are required to timely file various reports with regulatory authorities in the countries in which we market our products, including reports of adverse events including events that may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury and malfunctions that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur. If these reports are not timely filed, regulators may impose sanctions, including temporarily suspending our market authorizations or CE Mark, and sales of EndoBarrier may suffer. In that case, we may be subject to product liability or regulatory enforcement actions, all of which could harm our business. As we announced on October 6, 2014, our Notified Body temporarily suspended commercial product shipments labeled with a CE Mark affecting all countries where we were selling EndoBarrier, pending a review of our vigilance and reporting systems. If we are not able to successfully remedy our systems and resume product shipments, our business could be harmed and our inventory could become stale.

In some countries, we rely on our foreign distributors and agents to assist us in complying with foreign regulatory requirements, and we cannot be sure that they will always do so. If we or any of our suppliers, distributors, agents or customers fail to comply with applicable requirements, we may face:

 

    adverse publicity;

 

    investigations by governmental authorities;

 

    fines and prosecutions;

 

    increased difficulty in obtaining required approvals;

 

    losses of approvals already granted;

 

    delays in purchasing decisions by customers or cancellation of existing orders; and

 

    the inability to sell our products in or to import our products into such countries.

Requirements affecting the development, manufacture and sale of medical devices are evolving and subject to future change. We cannot predict what impact, if any, those changes might have on our business. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or manufacturer could result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory approvals. The failure to receive product approval on a timely basis, or the withdrawal of product approval by regulatory agencies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

In connection with a private placement, on May 9, 2014, we issued 65,951,265 CDIs (equivalent to 13,190,253 shares of common stock). The aggregate offering proceeds for this issuance was $ 32.1 million (A$34.3 million), and we incurred sales commissions of $1.3 million (A$1.4 million). Our lead placement agent was Bell Potter. The sales of these CDIs were exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

On September 10, 2014, we issued 35,000 shares of common stock to our director Daniel Moore, sold in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The shares are currently restricted until vesting requirements have been satisfied. Proceeds resulting from the sale were approximately $0.1 million.
