Note 1 Nature of Operations

 

The Company

 

Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly named Your Internet Defender, Inc. (“YIDI”), acquired Corindus, Inc., a privately-held company, in a reverse acquisition on August 12, 2014. The Company was previously a Nevada corporation, but effective June 28, 2016, the Company changed its state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware. The Company’s corporate headquarters and research and development facility are in Waltham, Massachusetts and the Company is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of precision vascular robotic-assisted systems (“CorPath System”) for use in interventional vascular procedures.

 

Since its inception on March 21, 2002, the Company has devoted its efforts principally to research and development, business development activities, and raising capital. In July 2012, the Company received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to market its CorPath System in the United States and shipped its first commercial product under this clearance in September 2012. In 2013, the Company moved into the growth stage, investing in sales and marketing in order to build its customer base. While the Company is initially cleared for and is targeting percutaneous coronary intervention (“PCI”) procedures, the Company believes its technology platform has the capability to be developed in the future for other segments of the vascular market, including neurointerventional and other more complex cardiac interventions, such as structural heart.

 

In October 2015, the Company announced that the FDA had given 510(k) clearance for its robotic-assisted CorPath System to be used during percutaneous coronary interventions performed via radial access. The 510(k) clearance was based on results of a clinical trial conducted at Spectrum Health, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center, Syracuse, New York.

 

On March 29, 2016, the Company announced that the FDA had given 510(k) clearance for its robotic-assisted CorPath System for use in peripheral vascular interventions. This 510(k) clearance for peripheral intervention was based on results of a clinical trial known as the RAPID (Robotic-assisted Peripheral Intervention for Peripheral Artery Disease) Study conducted at Medical University Graz in Austria.

 

On October 27, 2016, the Company announced that it had received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its CorPath GRX, the second generation of its CorPath System.  The Company expects to commence commercialization of CorPath GRX in the first quarter of 2017.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with developing, manufacturing and marketing its technologies, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, its ability to establish collaborative arrangements, marketing activities and competing technological and market developments, including regulatory changes affecting medical procedure reimbursement, and overall economic conditions in the Company’s target markets.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company has incurred losses since inception and has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of capital stock and debt. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $136,927, and borrowings outstanding of $4,960, of which $4,742 is contractually due over the next 12 months.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18,079 and working capital of $12,231. The Company believes that these available resources will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements through the first quarter of 2017, including funding its anticipated losses and scheduled debt maturities.  Accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional funds to support its operating and capital needs.  The Company will attempt to obtain additional funding through public or private financing, collaborative arrangements with strategic partners, or through additional credit lines or other debt financing sources to increase the funds available to fund operations. Additionally, the Company is in compliance with its debt covenant requirements as of September 30, 2016 and expects to remain in compliance over the next 12 months. As the Company continues to incur losses, a transition to profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. The Company may never achieve profitability, and unless and until doing so, intends to fund future operations through additional debt or equity offerings. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (“2015 Form 10-K”). The Company’s accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2015 Form 10-K and are updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Corindus, Inc. and Corindus Security Corporation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of both wholly-owned subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar and, therefore, the Company has not recorded any currency translation adjustments.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company participated in the formation of a not-for-profit, which was established to generate awareness of the health risks linked to the use of fluoroscopy in hospital catheterization. As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and one of its senior executives represented two of the four voting members of the board of directors of the entity. As a result, under the voting model used for the consolidation of related parties, which are controlled by a company, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of the entity, and recognized expenses of $120 and $12 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and $337 and $94 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The entity had both assets and liabilities of $9 on its balance sheet at September 30, 2016 and assets and liabilities of $56 and $75, respectively, on its balance sheet at December 31, 2015.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain amounts as of December 31, 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest, the Company has adopted this guidance retrospectively and reclassified the unamortized deferred financing costs from deposits and other assets to current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current portion, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Segment Information

 

The Company operates in one business segment, which is the development, marketing and sale of robotic-assisted vascular interventions. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the chief operating decision maker has made such decisions and assessed performance at the company level, as one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such management estimates include those relating to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based awards, and valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Customers

 

The table below sets forth the Company’s customers that accounted for greater than 10% of its revenues for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively:

 

      Three months ended

F       %     %     11 %     2 %
G       %     49 %     %     15 %
H       %     %     %     34 %

 

The Company had two other customers that together accounted for 76% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2015. Additionally, Customer G comprised 69% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2016. Given the current revenue levels, in a period in which the Company sells a system, the purchaser of such system is likely to represent a significant customer.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company generally defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 —inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 —inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The Company’s financial instruments of deposits and notes receivable are carried at cost and approximate their fair values given the liquid nature of such items. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is calculated based on discounted cash flow analysis, which includes Level 3 inputs and fair value approximates recorded amounts.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers highly liquid short-term investments, which consists of money market funds and certificates of deposits with original maturity dates of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the Company’s cash balances may exceed federal deposit insurance limits.

The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company had classified all of its marketable securities during 2016 as “available-for-sale” pursuant to ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. The Company records available-for-sale securities at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company adjusts the cost of available-for-sale debt securities for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. The Company includes such amortization and accretion in interest and other income (expense). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The Company includes interest income on securities classified as available-for-sale in interest and other income (expense).

 

The Company reviews marketable securities for other-than-temporary impairment whenever the fair value of a marketable security is less than the amortized cost and evidence indicates that a marketable security’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. Other-than-temporary impairments of investments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations if the Company has experienced a credit loss, has the intent to sell the marketable security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the marketable security before recovery of the amortized cost basis.

During 2016, the activity in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income was composed solely of activity related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities. There were no realized gains or losses recognized on the maturity of available-for-sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and as a result, the Company did not reclassify any amount out of accumulated other comprehensive income during that same period.

 

The Company’s marketable securities matured in accordance with stated terms during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

The following table summarizes available-for-sale securities held at December 31, 2015:

 

    Amortized Cost     Unrealized Gain     Unrealized Loss     Fair Value  
                                 
U.S. government treasuries   $ 15,885     $ 1     $ (10 )   $ 15,876  
Certificates of deposit     4,653             (5 )     4,648  
Total assets   $ 20,538     $ 1     $ (15 )   $ 20,524  

 

Certain short-term securities with original maturities of less than 90 days are included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and are not included in the table above.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company routinely monitors the recoverability of its inventory and records the lower of cost or market reserves based on current selling prices and reserves for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and forecasted usage, as required. Scrap and excess manufacturing costs are charged to cost of revenue as incurred and not capitalized as part of inventories. The Company only capitalizes pre-launch inventories when purchased for commercial use and it deems regulatory approval to be probable.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The CorPath System is a capital medical device used by hospitals and surgical centers to perform heart catheterizations. Use of the CorPath System requires a sterile, single-use cassette (the “CorPath Cassette”), which are sold separately, for each procedure. Products are sold to customers with no rights of return. The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of products when the following criteria are met:

 

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists
The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable
Collectability is reasonably assured
Risk of loss transfers and the product is delivered

 

In each arrangement, the Company is responsible for installation of the CorPath System and initial user training, which services are deemed essential to the functionality of the system. Therefore, the Company recognizes system revenue when the CorPath System is delivered and installed, and accepted by the end user customer.

 

Each CorPath System is sold with a standard one year warranty, which provides that the CorPath System will function as intended and during that one year period, the Company will either replace the product or a portion thereof or provide the necessary repair service during the Company’s normal service hours. The Company accrues for the estimated costs of the warranty once the CorPath System revenue is recognized.

 

The Company generally enters into multiple element arrangements, which include the sale of a CorPath System with an initial order of CorPath Cassettes, and may include either a basic service plan or a premium service plan. The basic service plan provides for an extended warranty period and the premium service plan provides for the extended warranty as well as component upgrades, when and if they become available during the service plan period. Deliverables, which are accounted for as separate units of accounting under multiple-element arrangements include: (a) the CorPath System, including installation and initial training, which are subject to customer acceptance and (b) the initial shipment of CorPath Cassettes to the customer, and may include either (c) an extended warranty or (d) component upgrades.

The Company recognizes revenue on multiple-element arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, based on the estimated selling price of each element. In accordance with ASU 2009-13, the Company uses vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, to determine the selling price of each element. If VSOE is not available, the Company uses third-party evidence (“TPE”) to determine the selling price. If TPE is not available, the Company uses its best estimate to develop the estimated selling price (“BESP”). The Company uses BESP to determine the selling price of its systems as well as the basic and premium service plans. BESP is determined based on estimated costs plus a reasonable margin, and has generally been consistent with the price charged to the customer for such products and services. The determination of BESP also considers the price of the service plans charged to customers when such services are sold separately in subsequent transactions. The Company also uses BESP to determine the selling price of the initial order of cassettes, which considers the price at which it charges its customers when the cassettes are sold separately.

 

Revenue related to basic and premium service plans is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the service contract. Revenues from accessories are recorded upon delivery and services provided by the Company outside of a basic or premium service contract are recognized as the services are provided.

 

There are no performance, cancellation, termination, or refund-type provisions under the Company’s multiple element arrangements.

 

On January 21, 2011, the Company entered into a distributor agreement with Philips Medical Systems Nederland, B.V. (“Philips”) appointing Philips to be the sole worldwide distributor for the promotion and sale of the Company’s CorPath System. Under the agreement, Philips sold the equipment directly to the end user and the Company was responsible for installation and initial training. Revenue was recognized on a net basis based on the amount billed to Philips and upon acceptance of the system by the end-user customer. This agreement with Philips expired on August 7, 2014. The Company continues to sell CorPath Systems through Philips on a sale by sale basis under a non-exclusive arrangement under mutually agreeable terms, which may include a continued level of discounted pricing, until such time the Company either executes a new distribution arrangement with Philips or the Company no longer does business with Philips. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, there were no amounts outstanding from Philips.

 

The Company also sells CorPath Cassettes under a CorPath Utilization Program (“CUP”), which is a multi-year arrangement that involves the placement of a CorPath System at a customer’s site free of charge and the customer agrees to purchase a minimum number of CorPath Cassettes each month at a premium over the regular price. The Company records revenue upon shipment of the cassettes based on the selling price of the CorPath Cassettes. The system is capitalized as field equipment in property and equipment and is depreciated on a straight line basis through cost of revenue over the estimated useful life of the system, which generally approximates the length of the CUP program contract, which is typically 36 months.

 

The Company also uses a One-Stent program to demonstrate its confidence in the CorPath System’s ability to help accurately measure anatomy and precisely place only one stent per lesion. The Company provides eligible customers registered under the program a $1 credit against future CorPath Cassette purchases for a qualifying CorPath PCI procedure which uses more than one stent per lesion. The estimated cost of honoring the potential obligation under the stent program is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of shipment. These costs have not been significant to date.

 

The Company records shipping and handling costs as a selling expense in the period incurred, and records payments from customers for shipping costs as a reduction of selling expenses. Such amounts have not been material in the periods presented.

Warrants

 

The Company reviews the terms of warrants issued in connection with the applicable accounting guidance and classifies warrants as a long-term liability on the consolidated balance sheets if the warrant may conditionally obligate the Company to transfer assets, including repurchase of the Company’s capital stock, at some point in the future. Warrants to purchase shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock had previously met these criteria and therefore required liability-classification. Liability-classified warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company classifies warrants within stockholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets if the warrants are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own capital stock, and otherwise would be recorded in stockholders’ equity.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, warrants to purchase 124,160 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of approximately $0.76 per share were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in the issuance of 93,325 shares of common stock during the year.

 

The table below is a summary of the Company’s warrant activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

 

      Number of
warrants
    Weighted-

 Expired              
Outstanding at September 30, 2016       5,083,219     $ 1.08  

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees and directors as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock award. The awards issued to date have been stock options with service-based vesting periods over two or four years. The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to non-employees as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock award at each performance date and period end.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are realizable. Consistent with all prior periods, the Company did not record any income tax benefit for its operating losses for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 due to uncertainty regarding future taxable income.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and changes in the unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity, is comprised of the cumulative unrealized gains and/or losses from the change in fair market value of the Company’s marketable securities. Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $14 and $0 at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Except as described below, there have been no new accounting pronouncements or changes to accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in Note 2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update will explicitly require a company’s management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company faces certain risks and uncertainties, as further described in Note 1, Nature of Operations. Upon adoption of this update, the Company will be required to make additional disclosures regarding its forecasts and financing plans.

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Update—Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items, previously required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2016 and it had no impact to its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) to address financial reporting considerations for the evaluation as to the requirement to consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2016 and it had no impact to its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) as part of the initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption resulted in the reclassification of current and long-term debt issuance costs from deposits and other assets to current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current portion, at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions. It is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and, depending on the amendment, must be applied using a prospective transition method, retrospective transition method, modified retrospective transition method, prospectively and/or retroactively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 Long-Term Debt

 

On June 11, 2014, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement pursuant to which the lender agreed to make available to the Company $10,000 in two separate $5,000 loans under secured promissory notes. The initial note was made on June 11, 2014 in an aggregate principal amount equal to $5,000 (the “Initial Promissory Note”) and is repayable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest over 27 months beginning on July 1, 2015. Prior to July 1, 2015, the Company was required to make interest only payments. The Initial Promissory Note bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (a) 11.25% or (b) 11.25% plus the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, less 3.25%, and includes an additional interest payment of $125 due no later than October 1, 2017, which is accreted over the term of the loan. The effective interest rate of the Initial Promissory Note was 11.50% at September 30, 2016.

 

On December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed the additional $5,000 (the “Second Promissory Note”) under the Loan and Security Agreement. The Second Promissory note is also repayable in equal monthly installments of principal and interest over 27 months beginning on July 1, 2015. Prior to July 1, 2015, the Company is required to make interest only payments. The Second Promissory Note bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.95% or (b) 9.95% plus the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, less 3.25%, and also includes an additional interest payment of $125 due no later than October 1, 2017, which is accreted over the term of the loan. The effective interest rate of the Second Promissory Note was 10.20% at September 30, 2016. The notes are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.

 

In connection with the Initial Promissory Note, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase 177,514 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share. The fair value of the warrant issued to the lender was determined to be $230 at the date of issuance, and was recorded as a discount on the debt. Additionally, in connection with the Second Promissory Note, the Company issued the lender warrants to purchase 177,514 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share. The fair value of the warrant issued to the lender was determined to be $619 at the date of issuance, and was recorded as a discount on the debt. The Company amortizes the debt discount to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

The Loan and Security Agreement also contains covenants which include certain restrictions with respect to subsequent indebtedness, liens, loans and investments, asset sales and share repurchases and other restricted payments, subject to certain exceptions. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains financial reporting obligations. An event of default under the Loan and Security Agreement includes, but is not limited to, breach of covenants, insolvency, and occurrence of any default under any agreement or obligation of the Company. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement contains a customary material adverse effect clause which states that in the event of a material adverse effect, an event of default would occur and the lender has the option to accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the loan. A material adverse effect is defined in the Loan and Security Agreement as a material change in the Company’s business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition or a material impairment of its ability to perform all obligations under its Loan and Security Agreement. The Company was not in default of any conditions under the Loan and Security Agreements as of September 30, 2016.

Note 7 Related Party Transactions

 

Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V.

 

On January 21, 2011, Corindus, Inc. entered into a distributor agreement with Philips, a shareholder of the Company and represented on the Company’s board of directors, appointing Philips to be a distributor for the promotion and sale of the Company’s CorPath System. This agreement provided that it would remain in force for two years from (a) the later of FDA approval of the CorPath System or (b) the date of notification by the Company to Philips of minimum inventory levels available for shipment. As required by the agreement, the Company notified Philips on August 7, 2012 of the commencement of the two-year term and the distribution agreement expired on August 7, 2014. The Company continues to sell CorPath Systems through Philips on a sale by sale basis under a non-exclusive arrangement under mutually agreeable terms, which may include a continued level of discounted pricing, until such time the Company either executes a new distribution arrangement with Philips or the Company no longer does business with Philips.

 

For both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, the Company recorded revenues of $125 from shipments to Philips. At December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, there were no amounts owed from Phillips to the Company resulting from selling activity under the agreement.

 

Shareholder Loans

 

On June 14, 2010, the Company loaned funds to certain stockholders of the Company for tax payments to be made to the Israel Tax Authority in connection with a tax ruling related to a reorganization that took place in 2008 and the Company received non-interest bearing notes receivable, which documented such loans. Total amount of notes receivable issued was $145.

 

The notes receivable are repayable upon the disposition of the Company’s common stock by the existing shareholder. Notes receivable amounted to $136 and $71 at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company assessed the notes receivable for impairment and concluded that there were no impairment indicators at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016. The Company does not believe there is any significant collection risk associated with the notes receivable at September 30, 2016.

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

 

General

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information which our management believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). This discussion should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included therein, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”). This information should also be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2016 including the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included therein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. The reported results will not necessarily reflect future results of operations or financial condition. Unless otherwise defined herein, all initially capitalized terms herein shall be as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

We design, manufacture and sell precision vascular robotic-assisted systems for use in interventional vascular procedures (the “CorPath ® System”). Our first and current product, the CorPath 200 System, is the only vascular robotic system cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to bring precision and accuracy to stent placement in percutaneous coronary intervention (“PCI”) procedures. During the procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits at a radiation-shielded interventional cockpit to advance stents and guidewires with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. The interventional cockpit allows the physician greater control and the freedom from wearing heavy lead protective equipment that causes musculoskeletal injuries. The CorPath System brings robotic precision to radial and complex PCI procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement with manual PCI procedures. We initially were cleared and targeted PCI procedures; subsequently we were cleared for Peripheral indications and recently we were cleared for our second generation system, the CorPath GRX.  We will continue to invest in developing capabilities to address these markets and believe that our technology platform has the capability to be developed in the future for other segments of the vascular market, including neurointerventional and other more complex cardiac interventions such as structural heart. As of September 30, 2016, we have installed 41 CorPath Systems, including three CorPath Systems in hospitals outside of the U.S.

Revenue

 

Revenue increased from $212 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $688 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due primarily to an increase in revenue from our CorPath Systems.

 

Our revenue associated with CorPath System sales increased from no revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $325 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. We did not sell any CorPath Systems during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and we sold one CorPath System during the three months ended September 30, 2016. We have experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, some unevenness in the number and trend of units sold and the average selling price of units sold on a quarterly basis given the early stage of commercialization of our product and market acceptance along with the continued development of a dedicated and consistent sales force.

Our revenue from CorPath Cassettes and accessories increased from $138 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $171 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The volume and average price of our CorPath Cassettes increased by 38 units and increased by 6.5%, respectively, from the three months ended September 30, 2015 to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Revenues under our CorPath Utilization Program (“CUP”) represented 35.7% and 22.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, of our total revenues for the sale of consumables. We expect variability in the sales of our consumables until our product receives wider market acceptance.

 

Our revenue associated with services performed increased from $73 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $192 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase relates to revenue recognized under the terms of outstanding service agreements and an increase in service projects performed for the three months ended September 30, 2016. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in our service revenues based upon whether or not customers elect to purchase service contracts with their CorPath Systems and the related deferral of any expected services to be performed under such arrangements.

 

Given the relatively small number of customers due to the early stage of the commercialization and the higher price of the CorPath System relative to consumables, customers that purchase a CorPath System in a specific period tend to make up a significant percentage of revenue in that period.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue increased from $722 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $1,220 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenues for both the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2016 included the effect of under-utilization of our production facilities, which we expect to continue for the remainder of 2016.

 

Cost of revenue represents the cost of materials for the CorPath System and CorPath Cassettes, as well as labor and overhead at our production facility. At current volumes, our cost to manufacture the CorPath System and CorPath Cassettes is approximately $400 and $2, respectively. We expect these costs to decrease as we obtain economies of scale with respect to purchasing and production and continue to incorporate design enhancements.

 

Gross Loss

 

Our gross loss increased from $510 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $532 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, based on the changes in revenue and cost of revenues as discussed above. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we did not generate enough sales volume of CorPath Systems and CorPath Cassettes to significantly offset our manufacturing costs, including the effect of the under-utilization of our production facility, a portion of which represents excess manufacturing capacity, and we have therefore generated a gross loss.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses increased from $2,263 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $2,728 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to increased spending for consulting services of $68, patent and licensing fees of $75, and incremental purchases of prototype materials of $101 related to work performed on the next generation CorPath System during the three months ended September 30, 2016, as well as increased compensation expense of $156 for employees hired subsequent to September 30, 2015.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $3,885 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $4,585 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to incremental stock-based compensation expense of $532 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 associated with stock options granted during 2016. The remaining increase relates to increased sales commissions of $282 and travel-related expenses of $163, partially offset by decreases in certain marketing activities of $144 and recruiting expense of $113 during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

 

 

19
 

 

Other Expense

 

Other expense decreased from $404 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $221 for the same period in 2016. The other expense for both periods was primarily the result of interest expense on borrowings under the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement (as defined below). The decrease in other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of a reduction in our overall debt balance through contractual principal payments over the past year.

 

Income Taxes

 

We have not recorded any benefit related to operating losses due to uncertainty about future taxable income.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss increased from $7,062 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $8,066 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to the factors noted above.

Revenue

 

Revenue increased from $1,897 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $2,304 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due primarily to an increase in revenue for our CorPath Systems.

 

Our revenue associated with CorPath System sales increased from $1,209 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $1,228 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We sold five and three CorPath Systems during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Our average selling price associated with the Systems sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the Systems sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased by 103.3% primarily due to the inclusion of a significant international sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We expect to experience some unevenness in the trend of the number of units sold and the average selling price of units sold given the early stage of commercialization of our product and market acceptance along with the continued development of a dedicated and consistent sales force.

 

Our revenue for CorPath Cassettes and accessories decreased slightly from $470 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $460 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The volume and average price of our CorPath Cassettes and accessories decreased by 52 units and increased by 5.4%, respectively, from the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Revenues under CUP represented 28.7% and 23.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, of our total revenues for the sale of consumables. We expect variability in the sales of our consumables until our product receives wider market acceptance.

 

 

20
 

 

Our revenue associated with services performed increased from $218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $616 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase relates to revenue recognized under the terms of outstanding service agreements. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in our service revenues based upon whether or not customers elect to purchase service contracts with their CorPath Systems and the related deferral of any expected services to be performed under such arrangements.

 

Given the relatively small number of customers due to the early stage of the commercialization and the higher price of the CorPath System relative to consumables, customers that purchase a CorPath System in a specific period tend to make up a significant percentage of revenue in that period.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue increased from $2,464 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $3,412 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenues for both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2016 included the effect of under-utilization of our production facilities, which we expect to continue for the remainder of 2016.

 

Cost of revenue represents the cost of materials for the CorPath System and CorPath Cassettes, as well as labor and overhead at our production facility. At current volumes, our cost to manufacture the CorPath System and CorPath Cassettes is approximately $400 and $2, respectively. We expect these costs to decrease as we obtain economies of scale with respect to purchasing and production and continue to incorporate design enhancements.

 

Gross Loss

 

Our gross loss increased from $567 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $1,108 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, based on the changes in revenue and cost of revenues as discussed above. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we have not generated enough sales volume of CorPath Systems and CorPath Cassettes to significantly offset our manufacturing costs, including the effect of the under-utilization of our production facility, a portion of which represents excess manufacturing capacity, and we have therefore generated a gross loss.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses decreased from $7,851 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $7,373 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to higher purchases of prototype materials of approximately $555 and increased spending for consulting services of $421 in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by increased compensation expense of $410 for employees hired subsequent to September 30, 2015.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $11,883 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $13,987 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily due to incremental costs of $528 associated with the transition of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer that was completed in March 2016, incremental stock-based compensation expense of $1,276 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 associated with stock options granted in 2016. 

 

Other Expense

 

Other expense decreased from $1,233 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $819 for the same period in 2016. The other expense for both periods was primarily the result of interest expense on borrowings under the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement (as defined below). The decrease in other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year period is primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of a reduction in our overall debt balance through contractual principal payments made over the past year.

 

Income Taxes

 

We have not recorded any benefit related to operating losses due to uncertainty about future taxable income.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss increased from $21,534 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $23,287 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to the factors noted above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We began our medical device business in 2002 and began selling FDA-cleared robotic medical devices in 2012. Our management does not contemplate attaining profitable operations until 2019, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of capital stock, a public offering of common stock in May 2015 and borrowing arrangements totaling approximately $155.9 million, as well as limited revenues from the sale of our products.

 

As of September 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $136.9 million and gross borrowings outstanding of $5.0 million, of which $1.1 million is contractually due during the remainder of 2016. As we continue to incur losses and generate negative gross margins, the transition to profitability and positive gross margins is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure as well as reducing the cost of the CorPath System. We may never achieve profitability, and unless and until doing so, it will be necessary for us to attempt to raise additional capital, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.

 

As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately $18.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid money market accounts.  We believe that our working capital of $12.2 million at September 30, 2016 will provide us the liquidity to meet our operating needs and service our debt through the first quarter of 2017.  Accordingly, we will need to raise additional funds to support our operating and capital needs. We will attempt to obtain additional funding through public or private financing, collaborative arrangements with strategic partners, or through additional credit lines or other debt financing sources to increase the funds available to fund operations.

 

On June 11, 2014, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the lender agreed to make available to Corindus, Inc. $10 million in the aggregate under two $5 million secured promissory notes. The Initial Note was made on June 11, 2014 (the “Initial Note”) and the Second Note was made on December 31, 2014 (the “Second Note” and, together with the Initial Note, the “Secured Promissory Notes”). The Secured Promissory Notes are repayable over a term of 27 months which began on July 1, 2015. The Initial Note bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (w) 11.25% or (x) 11.25% plus the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, less 3.25%, and includes an additional interest payment of $125 due no later than October 1, 2017, which is accreted over the term of the loan. The Second Note bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (y) 9.95% or (z) 9.95% plus the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, less 3.25%, and includes an additional interest payment of $125 due no later than October 1, 2017, which is accreted over the term of the loan. The borrowings require a final payment in the amount of $0.3 million in addition to the interest and principal amounts due during the term of the Loan and Security Agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains, among other things, covenants which include certain restrictions with respect to subsequent indebtedness, liens, loans and investments, financial reporting obligations, asset sales, share repurchase and other restricted payments, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement contains a customary material adverse effect clause which states that in the event of a material adverse effect, an event of default would occur and the lender has the option to accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the loan. A material adverse effect is defined in the Loan and Security Agreement as a material change in our business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition or a material impairment of our ability to perform all obligations under this Loan and Security Agreement. Future principal payments under the borrowing arrangement as of September 30, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

 

Year ending December 31,          
2016 (remainder of year)     $ 1,138  
2017       3,822  
Total     $ 4,960

In summary, our cash flows were as follows:

 

    Nine Months Ended 
September 30,
 
    2015     2016  
Net cash used in operating activities   $ (21,532 )   $ (20,062 )
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities   $ (20,874 )   $ 20,313  
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities   $ 43,615     $ (4,314 )

 

Operating Activities

 

Operating activities used cash of $21,532 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $20,062 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The $1,470 decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was primarily due to changes in working capital.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $20,874 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $20,313 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change was primarily due to maturities of available-for-sale securities in 2016.

 

Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cash flows from financing activities totaled $43,615 primarily related to net proceeds received from the issuance of common stock. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $4,314 and was primarily due to contractual payments on long-term debt and payments for the repurchase and retirement of common stock.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) as of September 30, 2016 that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The Company extended its building lease for the period from February 1, 2018 through January 31, 2021 with monthly payments ranging from $53 to $55 during the new extended period. There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, as well as related disclosures. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time and under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Information concerning our critical accounting policies with respect to these items is available in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 11, 2016.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update will explicitly require a company’s management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We face certain risks and uncertainties, as further described in Note 1, Nature of Operations, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of this update, we will be required to make additional disclosures regarding our forecasts and financing plans.

 

 

23
 

 

In January 2015, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Update—Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items, previously required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We adopted this update in the first quarter of 2016 and it had no impact to our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) to address financial reporting considerations for the evaluation as to the requirement to consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted this update in the first quarter of 2016 and it had no impact to our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) as part of the initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this update in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption resulted in the reclassification of current and long-term debt issuance costs from deposits and other assets to current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current portion at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions. It is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and, depending on the amendment, must be applied using a prospective transition method, retrospective transition method, modified retrospective transition method, prospectively and/or retroactively, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Statements made in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Corindus to be materially different from historical results or from any future results or projections expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward looking statements. In addition to statements that explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider statements in the conditional or future tenses or that includes terms such as “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “anticipates” or “plans” to be uncertain and forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include comments as to Corindus’ beliefs and expectations as to future events and trends affecting its business and are necessarily subject to uncertainties, many of which are outside Corindus’ control.

 

Examples of such statements include the following:

 

Our belief that the CorPath System brings robotic precision to radial and complex PCI procedures to help optimize clinical outcomes and minimize the costs associated with complications of improper stent placement with manual PCI procedures.
Our expectation that we will continue to invest in development capabilities to address these markets and believe that our technology platform has the capability to be developed in the future for other segments of the vascular market, including neurointerventional and other more complex cardiac interventions such as structural heart.
Our expectation that we may continue to experience some unevenness in the number and trend of units sold and the average selling price of units sold on a quarterly basis given the early stage of commercialization of our product and market acceptance along with the continued development of a dedicated and consistent sales force.
Our expectation of variability in the sales of our consumables until our product receives wider market acceptance.

 

 

24
 

 

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in our service revenues based upon whether or not customers elect to purchase service contracts with their CorPath Systems and the related deferral of any expected services to be performed under such arrangements.
We expect costs of materials for the CorPath System and CorPath Cassettes to decrease as we obtain economies of scale with respect to purchasing and production and continue to incorporate design enhancements.
Our management does not contemplate attaining profitable operations until 2019.
Our estimation that our transition to profitability and positive gross margins is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure as well as reducing the cost of the CorPath System. 
Our belief that our working capital of $12.2 million at September 30, 2016 will provide us the liquidity to meet our operating needs and service our debt through the first quarter of 2017. 
That we do not expect our operating results to be affected to any significant degree by a change in market interest rates on our money market funds.

 

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are described in the sections titled “Risk Factors” in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as reports on Form 8-K, including, but not limited to the following: the rate of adoption of our CorPath System and the rate of use of our cassettes; risks associated with market acceptance, including pricing and reimbursement; our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights; our need for additional funds to support our operations; our ability to manage expenses and cash flow; factors relating to engineering, regulatory, manufacturing, sales and customer service challenges; potential safety and regulatory issues that could slow or suspend our sales; and the effect of credit, financial and economic conditions on capital spending by our potential customers. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Corindus undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise that occur after that date. 

 

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We had cash and cash equivalents of $18.1 million as of September 30, 2016. The cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 consist of cash in bank deposits and money market funds. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because our investment strategy is primarily to invest in short term securities. We do not expect our operating results to be affected to any significant degree by a change in market interest rates on our money market funds.

 

We pay interest on our outstanding long-term debt at interest rates that fluctuate based upon changes in various base interest rates. The carrying value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $4.8 million at September 30, 2016. See “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 4 — “Long-Term Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our outstanding long-term debt. The effect of an immediate hypothetical 10% change in variable interest rates would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We have generated losses from operations to date and depend on funds raised through other sources. One possible source of funding is through further equity offerings. Our ability to raise funds in this manner depends upon capital market forces affecting our stock price.

 

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed by the Company in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in designing and evaluating the controls and procedures.

 

 

25
 

 

We continue to review our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred 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.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

A.1 TAX ESCALATION : Commencing as of February 1, 2018, if any tax year commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, the real estate taxes on the land and buildings, of which the Leased Premises are a part, are in excess of the amount of the real estate taxes thereon for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 (hereinafter called the “Base Year”), LESSEE will pay to LESSOR as additional rent hereunder, when and as designated by notice in writing by LESSOR, 18.51% of such excess that may occur in each year of the term of this lease or any extension or renewal thereof and proportionately for any part of a fiscal year. If the LESSOR obtains an abatement of any such excess real estate tax, a proportionate share of such abatement, less the reasonable fees and costs incurred in obtaining the same, if any, shall be refunded to the LESSEE. The LESSEE shall, effective July 1, 2018, make estimated installment payments as additional rent as and when the payment of base rent is due. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 (July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019) the LESSEE’S estimated installment payments shall be based on 105% of the actual real estate taxes assessed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018) less the Base Year amount. Thereafter, estimated real estate tax payments shall be based on 105% of the prior year’s actual real estate taxes less the Base Year amount. Actual real estate taxes will not be known at the beginning of each fiscal year and therefore retroactive adjustment to estimated payments shall be necessary when actual real estate taxes are known. After the end of each fiscal year, as and when the actual real estate taxes are available, LESSOR shall provide LESSEE written notice in reasonable detail of LESSEE’S pro rata share of the actual real estate taxes for such fiscal year less the Base Year amount, the estimated payments made by LESSEE on account thereof, and the new estimated payments calculated in accordance with the above. The LESSEE shall pay LESSOR within thirty (30) days of receiving such written notice, the balance owed due to insufficient estimated payments made in accordance with the above, and the LESSOR shall credit the LESSEE’S account for any excess estimated payments made in accordance with the above or refund such amount to LESSEE at the end of the Term if such credit cannot be fully applied against rent. Taxes for which LESSEE is obligated to reimburse LESSOR hereunder shall not include any penalties or interest for late or partial payment nor any income, franchise, inheritance, estate, transfer, excise, gift or capital gain taxes, that are or may be payable by LESSOR or that may be imposed against LESSOR or against the rents payable hereunder; provided, however, if at any time during the Lease term the present method of taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any real estate taxes levied, assessed, reassessed or imposed on the property of which the Leased Premises is a part and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied, assessed reassessed or imposed on LESSOR a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents or the present or any future building or buildings in and on the property of which the Leased Premises is a part, then all such taxes, assessments, reassessments, levies or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “real estate taxes” for the purpose hereof. LESSOR shall elect to pay, or real estate taxes due from LESSEE shall be calculated as if LESSEE elected to pay, all real estate taxes and betterments and special assessments over the longest period permitted under applicable law and real estate taxes due from LESSEE shall include only those installments which become due during or with respect to the Lease term (and an interest charged thereon as a result of such installment treatment).

 
 

 

B.1 OPERATING COST ESCALATION : Commencing as of February 1, 2018, the LESSEE shall pay to the LESSOR as additional rent hereunder when and as designated by notice in writing by LESSOR, 18.51% of any increase in operating expenses over those incurred during the calendar year 2018. Operating expenses are defined for the purposes of this agreement in Exhibit E-1 hereto (as so defined, “Operating Expenses”). The LESSEE shall, effective January 1, 2019 make estimated installment payments as additional rent as and when the payment of base rent is due. During the calendar year 2019, the LESSEE’S estimated installment payments shall be based on 105% of actual Operating Expenses assessed during calendar year 2018 less the Operating Expenses base year amount or refund such amount to LESSEE at the end of the Term if such credit cannot be fully applied against rent. Thereafter, estimated Operating Expenses shall be based on 105% of the prior year’s actual Operating Expenses less the Operating Expenses base year amount. Actual Operating Expenses will not be known until after the conclusion of each calendar year, retroactive adjustment to estimated payments shall be necessary when actual Operating Expenses are known. After the end of each calendar year, as and when the actual Operating Expenses are available (with LESSOR endeavoring to provide same by April 30 th of each year), LESSOR shall provide LESSEE written notice in reasonable detail of LESSEE’S pro rata share of the actual Operating Expenses for such calendar year less the Operating Expenses base year amount, the estimated payments made by LESSEE on account thereof, and the new estimated payments calculated in accordance with the above. The LESSEE shall pay LESSOR, within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice thereof, the balance owed due to insufficient estimated payments made in accordance with the above, and the LESSOR shall credit the LESSEE’S account for any excess estimated payments made in accordance with the above.

20.        NOTICE:

This paragraph is hereby amended with the addition of the following:

LESSOR’S address as contained in this paragraph 20 and throughout the Lease is hereby changed to 465 Waverley Oaks Road, Suite 500, Waltham, MA 02452.

In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, by either the Company or the Executive, the Company shall provide the Executive with (a) all accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of employment termination, and (b) any unpaid or unreimbursed expenses incurred through the date of employment termination in accordance with Section 3.4 above (the “Accrued Obligations”). The Accrued Obligations shall be the sole amounts owing to the Executive upon termination of the Executive’s employment and Executive shall not be eligible for any other payments or other forms of compensation or benefits.

6.        Change In Control Stock Option Acceleration . Upon a Change in Control, one hundred percent (100%) of the Executive’s outstanding unvested Options will automatically vest upon a Change in Control, provided that the Executive is then employed with the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean a “Change in Control” as defined under the Stock Plan, as in effect on the Commencement Date.

7.        Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation .

7.1        Restricted Activities . While the Executive is employed by the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination or cessation of such employment for any reason, the Executive will not directly or indirectly:

(a)        Engage in any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) that is competitive with the Company’s Business, including but not limited to any business or enterprise that develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, sells or provides any product or service that competes with any product or service developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, or planned to be developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, by the Company while the Executive was employed by the Company; or

(b)        Either alone or in association with others (i) solicit, or permit any organization directly or indirectly controlled by the Executive to solicit, any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company, or (ii) solicit for employment, hire or engage as an independent contractor, or permit any organization directly or indirectly controlled by the Executive to solicit for employment, hire or engage as an independent contractor, any person who was employed by the Company during the last two (2) years of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

7.2        Extension . If the Executive violates the provisions of Section 7.1, the Executive shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section 7.1 until a period of twelve (12) months has expired without any violation of such provisions.

 
 

 

7.3        Interpretation . If any restriction set forth in Section 7.1 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.

7.4        Equitable Remedies . The restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Executive to be reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any breach of this Section 7 is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage which is difficult to measure. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Executive agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, shall have the right to apply for an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Section 7.

8.        Proprietary Information and Developments .

8.1        Proprietary Information .

(a)        The Executive agrees that all information, whether or not in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning the Company’s business, business relationships, technologies, products, product development and marketing strategies or financial affairs (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include inventions, products, processes, methods, trade secrets, formulas, compositions, compounds, projects, developments, plans, research data, clinical data, financial data, personnel data, computer programs, customer and supplier lists, and knowledge of customers or prospective customers of the Company. The Executive will not disclose any Proprietary Information to any person or entity other than employees of the Company or use the same for any purposes (other than in the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company) without written approval by an officer of the Company, either during or after his employment with the Company, unless and until such Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by the Executive.

(b)        The Executive agrees that all files, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, laboratory notebooks, program listings, or other written, photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by the Executive or others, which shall come into his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by the Executive only in the performance of his duties for the Company. All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the custody or possession of the Executive shall be delivered to the Company, upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Company or (ii) termination of his employment. After such delivery, the Executive shall not retain any such materials or copies thereof or any such tangible property.

(c)        The Executive agrees that his obligation not to disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and his obligation to return materials and tangible property, set forth in paragraph (b) above, also extends to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to the Executive.

 
 

 

8.2        Developments .

(a)        The Executive will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods, developments, software, and works of authorship, whether patentable or not, which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by him or under his direction or jointly with others during his employment by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company (all of which are collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Developments”).

(b)        The Executive agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his right, title and interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications. However, this paragraph (b) shall not apply to Developments which do not relate to the business or research and development conducted or planned to be conducted by the Company at the time such Development is created, made, conceived or reduced to practice and which are made and conceived by the Executive not during normal working hours, not on the Company’s premises and not using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information. The Executive understands that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this paragraph (b) shall be interpreted not to apply to any invention which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. The Executive also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Developments.

(c)        The Executive agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to Developments; provided that, after his employment with the Company, such cooperation shall be conditioned upon reimbursement by the Company of the Executive’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The Executive shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development. The Executive further agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the signature of the Executive on any such papers, any executive officer of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as the agent and the attorney-in-fact of the Executive, and the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each executive officer of the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on his behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development, under the conditions described in this sentence,

8.3        United States Government Obligations . The Executive acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other parties or with the United States Government, or agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Executive agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions which are made known to the Executive and to take all appropriate action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements.

 
 

 

8.4        Equitable Remedies . The restrictions contained in this Section 8 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Executive to be reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any breach of this Section 8 may cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage which is difficult to measure. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Executive agrees that the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, shall have the right to apply for an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Section 8.

9.        Miscellaneous .

9.1        Notices . Any notices delivered under this Agreement shall be deemed duly delivered four (4) business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or one business day after it is sent for next-business day delivery via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in each case to the address of the recipient set forth in the introductory paragraph hereto.

9.3        Entire Agreement . This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.

9.4        Amendment . This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Executive.

9.5        Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof). Any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within Massachusetts), and the Company and the Executive each consents to the jurisdiction of such a court.

9.6        Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both the Company and its successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business; provided, however, that the obligations of the Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by him. Corindus and each of the Company’s other direct and indirect subsidiaries are designated as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the terms hereof as if it were a party hereto.

 
 

 

9.7        Section 409A . The parties agree that this Agreement shall be interpreted to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in no event shall the Company, Corindus or any of their respective subsidiaries be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers under the Code).

9.8        Waivers . No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other occasion.

9.9        Captions . The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any section of this Agreement.

9.10      Severability . In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

9.11      Survival . Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent applicable, Sections 5, 7, 8, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, and 9.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

9.12      Compliance with Laws . The Company and the Executive will at all times comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, regulations and standards of any and all governmental authorities and regulatory and accreditation bodies.
