Our proprietary CMRF technology is delivered through a radiofrequency generator, handpiece and treatment tip, which collectively, we refer to as the Viveve® System. Viveve Medical competes in the women’s intimate health industry in some countries by marketing the Viveve System as a way to improve the overall well-being and quality of life of women suffering from vaginal introital laxity, for improved sexual function, or stress urinary incontinence, depending on the relevant country-specific clearance or approval.  In the United States, the Viveve System is currently indicated for use in general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis.

Effective Shelf Registration Statement

On July 2, 2021, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 for the proposed offering from time to time of up to $75,000,000 of our securities, including common stock, preferred stock, and/or warrants. This registration statement currently has a capacity of $75,000,000. However, as a result of the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, or the so-called “baby shelf rules”, the amount of shares of our common stock available for sale under a registration statement on Form S-3 is limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of our common equity held by non- affiliates of the Company over any rolling 12-month period. As of September 30, 2021, we have not issued any shares or received any proceeds pursuant to the universal shelf registration statement.

Purchase Agreement with LPC – Reduction of Warrant Exercise Price

On May 4, 2021, pursuant to the provisions under the Purchase Agreement as amended, LPC purchased 250,000 shares at $2.817 per share of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the per share exercise price of our previously issued Series B, A-2 and B-2 common stock warrants was automatically reduced from $3.40 to $2.817 pursuant to the terms of the warrants. There was no change to the quantity of warrant shares. As a result of this reduction of warrant exercise price, the Company recognized a modification charge of $86,000.

Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC

The Company previously entered into a purchase agreement on June 8, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), which provided that the Company had the right, in its sole discretion, to sell to LPC, and LPC has committed to purchase from us, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time over a 30-month period pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement limited the Company’s sale of shares of common stock to LPC to 301,762 shares of common stock (after giving effect to the Company’s reverse stock split in December 2020), representing 19.99% of the shares of the common stock outstanding on the date of the Purchase Agreement unless (i) shareholder approval was obtained to issue more than such amount or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of common stock to LPC under the Purchase Agreement equaled or exceeded $6.46 per share (after giving effect to the Company’s reverse stock split).

2020 Warrant Offering

On April 15, 2020, the Company reduced the exercise price of the outstanding Series A warrants and Series B warrants from $15.50 per share to $6.10 per share.

The transaction closed on April 20, 2020. Transaction costs in connection with the 2020 Warrant Offering totaled approximately $326,000. (See Note 11 – Common Stock for the calculation of the modification expense for the Series A and B warrants and the issuance of Series A-2 and B-2 warrants.) As of September 30, 2021, there were Series A-2 warrants to purchase a total of 392,830 shares of common stock and Series B-2 warrants to purchase a total of 20,380 shares of common stock still remaining and outstanding. 

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Viveve Medical have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future interim period.

Liquidity and Management Plans

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which requires that management evaluate whether there are relevant conditions and events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, since inception, the Company has sustained significant operating losses and such losses are expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $235,525,000 as of September 30, 2021. Additionally, the Company used $9,651,000 in cash for operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. However, the Company's financing activities provided cash of $25,955,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, including $25,122,000 in net proceeds from the January 2021 Offering, $633,000 in net proceeds from purchase of common shares under the Purchase Agreement with LPC, $179,000 in proceeds from the exercise of common warrants and $21,000 in proceeds from issuance of common shares from employee stock purchase plan. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $22,665,000 and working capital of $23,563,000. Accordingly, management expects that our cash along with the remaining equity financing commitment from LPC of approximately $9,000,000 will be sufficient to fund our activities for at least the next twelve months through November 2022; however, we may require additional funds from the sale of equity or debt securities to fully implement our plan of operation.

To fund further operations, the Company may need to raise additional capital. The Company may obtain additional financing in the future through the issuance of its common stock, or through other equity or debt financings. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern or meet the minimum liquidity requirements in the future is dependent on its ability to raise significant additional capital, of which there can be no assurance. If the necessary financing is not obtained or achieved, the Company will likely be required to reduce its planned expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic objective. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.  

Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Viveve, Inc. and Viveve BV. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reverse Stock Split - December 2020

The Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock that became effective after market close on December 1, 2020. The reverse stock split uniformly affected all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The reverse stock split provided that every ten shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share. The number of authorized shares of common stock remained at 75,000,000 shares. 

As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all then outstanding stock options, deferred restricted stock awards and warrants, which will result in a proportional decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, deferred restricted stock awards and warrants, and, in the case of stock options and warrants, a proportional increase in the exercise price of all such stock options and warrants. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans immediately prior to the effective date will be reduced proportionately. The Company issued 5,931 shares of common stock as a result of this adjustment.

No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share were rounded up to the nearest whole number.

All of the share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been adjusted, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 1-for-10 reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, any change in these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse effect on our operating results. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand accounts primarily at one financial institution. Deposits in this institution may, from time to time, exceed the federally insured amounts.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

To achieve profitable operations, the Company must successfully develop, manufacture, and market its products. There can be no assurance that any such products can be developed or manufactured at an acceptable cost and with appropriate performance characteristics, or that such products will be successfully marketed. These factors could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial results, financial position, and future cash flows.

Most of the Company’s products to date require clearance or approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commencing commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s products will receive any of these required clearances or approvals or for the indications requested. If the Company was denied such clearances or approvals or if such clearances or approvals were delayed, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results, financial position and future cash flows.

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, product liability, and the need to obtain additional financing. The Company’s ultimate success is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to successfully develop and market its products. 

The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets a medical device that it refers to as the Viveve System, which is intended for the non-invasive treatment of vaginal introital laxity, for improved sexual function, for vaginal rejuvenation, for use in general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis, and stress urinary incontinence, depending on the relevant country-specific clearance or approval. The Viveve System consists of three main components: a radiofrequency generator housed in a table-top console, a reusable handpiece and a single-use treatment tip. Included with the system are single-use accessories (e.g. return pad, coupling fluid), as well as a cryogen canister that can be used for approximately four to five procedures, and a foot pedal. The Company outsources the manufacture and repair of the Viveve System to a single contract manufacturer. Also, certain other components and materials that comprise the device are currently manufactured by a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers. A significant supply interruption or disruption in the operations of the contract manufacturer or these third-party suppliers would adversely impact the production of our products for a substantial period of time, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. 

In North America, the Company sells its products primarily through a direct sales force to health care practitioners. Outside North America, the Company sells through an extensive network of distribution partners. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, one distributor accounted for 36% and 29% of the Company’s revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, one distributor accounted for 40% and 45% of the Company’s revenue, respectively.

As of September 30, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2020, one distributor accounted for 37% of total accounts receivable, net.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. Our typical payment terms vary by region and type of customer (distributor or physician). Occasionally, payment terms of up to six months may be granted to customers with an established history of collections without concessions. Should we grant payment terms greater than six months or terms that are not in accordance with established history for similar arrangements, revenue would be recognized as payments become due and payable assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company makes ongoing assumptions relating to the collectability of its accounts receivable in its calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations and assesses current economic trends affecting its customers that might impact the level of credit losses in the future and result in different rates of bad debts than previously seen. The Company also considers its historical level of credit losses. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $49,000 as of September 30, 2021 and $124,000 as of December 31, 2020.

During the three month and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company wrote-off accounts receivable totaling approximately $115,000 and $179,000, respectively, primarily related to U.S. customers. There were no write-offs of customers’ accounts receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company wrote-off accounts receivable totaling approximately $173,000 primarily related to Latin America distributors in connection with the Company’s shift in its international business model and the withdrawal from certain countries in Latin America.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue consists primarily of the sale of the Viveve System, single-use treatment tips and ancillary consumables. The Company applies the following five steps: (1) identify the contract 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 a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company considers customer purchase orders to be the contracts with a customer. Revenues, net of expected discounts, are recognized when the performance obligations of the contract with the customer are satisfied and when control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer, typically when products, which have been determined to be the only distinct performance obligations, are shipped to the customer. Expected costs of assurance warranties and claims are recognized as expense. Revenue is recognized net of any sales taxes from the sale of the products.

Rental revenue is generated through the lease of the Viveve System. The Company’s operating leases for the Viveve System generally have a rental period of six to twelve months and can be extended or terminated by the customer after that time or the Viveve System could be purchased by the customer. Rental revenue on those operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the underlying leases. The Company began this rental program in the quarter ended June 30, 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, rental revenue recognized during the period was $261,000 and $950,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, rental revenue recognized during the period was $471,000 and $829,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had deferred revenue in the amounts of $436,000 and $345,000, respectively, related to its rental program, which is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $14,000 and $310,000 which was deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020.

Late in the first quarter of 2020 and through the third quarter of 2021, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical facilities and practitioners was in full effect in the United States. Federal, regional, and local government and public health agencies issued directives halting performance of non-essential medical treatments and elective procedures in an effort to combat the spread of the coronavirus and protect public health and safety. As a result, a large percentage of Viveve’s U.S. customers either temporarily closed their medical practices or dramatically reduced services and staff. The consequence has been both a public health and economic crisis that is continuing for existing and prospective Viveve customers. In a supportive partnership response, in the second quarter of 2020 Viveve contacted all of its subscription customers and provided them with a three-month deferral of the rental payment. Although clinics in various regions continue to re-open and gradually increase their limited services, we anticipate that until the COVID-19 pandemic abates, more practices re-open and elective patient’s safety concerns are reduced, that we will continue to experience reduced revenue from existing subscription customers, as well as a greatly reduced number of new and prospective customers. 

In connection with the lease of the Viveve System, the Company offers single-use treatment tips and ancillary consumables that are considered non-lease components. In the contracts with lease and non-lease components, the Company follows the relevant guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to determine how to allocate contractual consideration between the lease and non-lease components.

Sales of our products are subject to regulatory requirements that vary from country to country. The Company has regulatory clearance for differing indications, or can sell its products without a clearance, in many countries throughout the world, including countries within the following regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. In North America, we market and sell primarily through a direct sales force. Outside of North America, we market and sell primarily through distribution partners.

The Company does not provide its customers with a right of return.

Customer Advance Payments

From time to time, customers will pay for a portion of the products ordered in advance.  Upon receipt of such payments, the Company records the customer advance payment as a component of accrued liabilities.  The Company will remove the customer advance payment from accrued liabilities when revenue is recognized upon shipment of the products.  

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company continually evaluates whether the revenue generating activities and advanced payment arrangements with customers result in the recognition of contract assets or liabilities. No such assets existed as of  September 30, 2021 or  December 31, 2020. The Company had customer contract liabilities in the amount of $25,000 and $17,000 that performance had not yet been delivered to its customers as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Contract liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  

Separately, accounts receivable, net represents receivables from contracts with customers.

Significant Financing Component

The Company applies the practical expedient to not make any adjustment for a significant financing component if, at contract inception, the Company does not expect the period between customer payment and transfer of control of the promised goods or services to the customer to exceed one year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any contracts for the sale of its products with its customers with a significant financing component. 

Contract Costs 

The Company began its rental program in the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The Company expects that commissions paid to obtain subscriptions are recoverable and has therefore capitalized them as a contract cost in the amount of $53,000 and $32,000 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Capitalized commissions are amortized based on the subscription periods to which the assets relate and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the amount of amortization was $13,000 and $58,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the amount of amortization was $47,000 and $538,000, respectively. There was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping costs billed to customers are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling expense related to costs incurred to deliver product are recognized within cost of goods sold. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after control has transferred as a fulfillment cost as opposed to a separate performance obligation, and the costs of shipping and handling are recognized concurrently with the related revenue.  

Revenue by Geographic Area

Management has determined that the sales by geography is a key indicator for understanding the Company’s financials because of the different sales and business models that are required in the various regions of the world (including regulatory, selling channels, pricing, customers and marketing efforts). The following table presents the revenue from unaffiliated customers disaggregated by geographic area for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

The Company determines geographic location of its revenue based upon the destination of the shipments of its products.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in entities that it does not control but have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. Equity method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize (1) the proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment, (2) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions received, and (3) impairment losses resulting from adjustments to net realizable value. The Company eliminates all intercompany transactions in accounting for equity method investments. The Company records the proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company utilizes a three-month lag in reporting equity income from its investments, adjusted for known amounts and events, when the investee’s financial information is not available timely or when the investee’s reporting period differs from our reporting period. 

The Company assesses the potential impairment of the equity method investments when indicators such as a history of operating losses, a negative earnings and cash flow outlook, and the financial condition and prospects for the investee’s business segment might indicate a loss in value. The carrying value of the investments is reviewed annually for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the investment may not be recoverable. No impairment charges have been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. 

Product Warranty

The Company’s products sold to customers are generally subject to warranties between one and three years, which provides for the repair, rework or replacement of products (at the Company’s option) that fail to perform within stated specifications. The Company has assessed the historical claims and, to date, product warranty claims have not been significant.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s service period. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

The Company determined that the Black-Scholes option pricing model is the most appropriate method for determining the estimated fair value for stock options and purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plan. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions which determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

Equity instruments issued to nonemployees are recorded in the same manner as similar instruments issued to employees. 

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss represents the changes in equity of an enterprise, other than those resulting from stockholder transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive loss may include certain changes in equity that are excluded from net loss. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s comprehensive loss is the same as its net loss. 

Net Loss per Share

The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For purposes of this calculation, stock options and warrants to purchase common stock and restricted common stock awards are considered common stock equivalents. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The following securities were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive: 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this Update provide further simplification of accounting standards for the accounting for income taxes. Certain exceptions for are removed and requirements regarding the accounting for franchise taxes, tax basis of goodwill, and tax law rate changes are made. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2021, and the adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. 

We have reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business, or no material effect is expected on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

The Company recognizes and discloses the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). Each level of input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. 

There were no financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of the note payable approximates fair value. 

There were no changes in valuation techniques from prior periods.    

On August 8, 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive Distributorship Agreement (the “Distributorship Agreement”) with InControl Medical, LLC (“ICM”), a Wisconsin limited liability company focused on women’s health, pursuant to which the Company will directly market, promote, distribute and sell ICM’s products to licensed medical professional offices and hospitals in North America.

Under the terms of the Distributorship Agreement, ICM agreed to not directly or indirectly appoint or authorize any third party to market, promote, distribute or sell any of the licensed products to any licensed medical professional offices and hospitals in the United States. In exchange, the Company agreed to not market, promote, distribute or sell (or contract to do so) any product which substantially replicates all or almost all of the key features of the licensed products. The terms of the Distribution Agreement also included a minimum purchase requirement to purchase a certain quantity of ICM products per month. In addition, the parties agreed to certain mutual marketing obligations to promote sales of the licensed products. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company has purchased 40 and 185 units of ICM products for approximately $5,000 and $26,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company has purchased 140 and 425 units of ICM products for approximately $17,000 and $46,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has purchased approximately 5,425 units of ICM products. The Company paid ICM approximately $7,000 and $10,000 for product-related costs during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company paid ICM approximately $17,000 and $30,000 for product-related costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were no amounts due to ICM for the accounts payable as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

In connection with the Distributorship Agreement, the Company also entered into a Membership Unit Subscription Agreement with ICM and the associated limited liability company operating agreement of ICM, pursuant to which the Company invested $2,500,000 in, and acquired membership units of, ICM. This investment has been recorded in investment in a limited liability company in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company used the equity method to account for the investment in ICM because the Company does not control it but has the ability to exercise significant influence over it. As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned approximately 7% ownership interest in ICM. The Company recognizes its allocated portion of ICM’s results of operations on a three-month lag due to the timing of financial information. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the allocated net loss from ICM’s operations was $33,000 and $55,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the allocated net loss from ICM’s operations was $188,000 and $323,000, respectively. The allocated net loss from ICM’s operations was recorded as loss from minority interest in limited liability company in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. 

In February 2019, the Company executed a mutual termination of the Distributorship Agreement with ICM. As a result, the Company no longer has a minimum purchase requirement to purchase a certain quantity of ICM products per month.       

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands): 

On May 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement as amended on December 12, 2017 and November 29, 2018 (collectively the “2017 Loan Agreement”) with affiliates of CRG LP (“CRG”). The credit facility consists of $20,000,000 drawn at closing and access to additional funding of up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 for a total of $30,000,000 available under the credit facility. On December 29, 2017, the Company accessed the remaining $10,000,000 available under the credit facility.

On November 12, 2019, the Company and CRG amended the 2017 Loan Agreement (the “Amendment No. 3”). In connection with the amendment, the Company converted approximately $28,981,000 of the outstanding principal amount under the term loan plus accrued interest, the prepayment premium and the back-end facility fee for an aggregate amount of converted debt obligations of approximately $31,300,000. The debt obligations converted into 31,300 shares of the newly authorized Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase up to 989,379 shares of common stock were also issued. The warrants have a term of 5 years and an exercise price equal to 120% of the Series convertible B preferred stock conversion price of $15.30 or $18.36 per share. (See Note 11 – Common Stock.) CRG entered into a one year lock up agreement on all securities that it holds.

The Amendment No. 3 to the 2017 Loan Agreement addressed, among other things:

Pursuant to the Amendment No. 3, the Company paid interest in-kind of $154,000 and $443,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 which was added to the total outstanding principal loan amount. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company paid interest in-kind of $136,000 and $443,000, respectively, which was added to the total outstanding principal loan amount. Additionally, the back-end facility fee of $1,446,000 is due upon maturity, of which the Company had accrued $747,000 included in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $4,964,000 and $4,518,000, respectively, was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as note payable, noncurrent portion, which is net of the remaining unamortized debt discount. The term loan has a maturity date of March 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2021, future minimum payments under the note payable were as follows (in thousands): 

The Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On April 24, 2020, Viveve, Inc. (“Viveve”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a promissory note evidencing an unsecured loan in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,343,000 made to Viveve under the PPP (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan to Viveve is being made through Western Alliance Bank (“WAB”). The interest rate on the PPP Loan is 1.00% and the term is two years. In accordance with the updated Small Business guidance, the PPP Loan was modified so that, beginning ten months from the date of the PPP Loan, Viveve is required to make monthly payments of principal and interest. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults or breaching the terms of the PPP Loan documents. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from Viveve, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against Viveve. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. No assurance is provided that Viveve will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.

In October 2020, the Company was notified that the terms of its PPP Loan with WAB were modified. The amount of time that the Company had to spend the proceeds of the PPP Loan (the “covered period”) was extended from 8 weeks to 24 weeks. The date to begin repaying unforgiven portions of the PPP Loan was also extended from six months after the funding date to up to 10 months after the end of the covered period (approximately 16 months from the funding date) depending on when the Company applies for forgiveness. The SBA will also cover interest on the forgiveness portion of the loan during this period. There was no change to the maturity date of the loan. All PPP Loans must be repaid or forgiven within two years after the funding date. The Company submitted its PPP Loan forgiveness application to the SBA in October 2020.

In May 2021, the Company was notified by WAB that its request for forgiveness of the PPP Loan had been approved in full. The total principal amount and the accrued interest through the forgiveness payment date was forgiven. The Company has recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2021 in the amount of $1,358,000.

Lessee:

The following information pertains to those operating lease agreements where the Company is the lessee. 

On February 1, 2017, the Company entered into a sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) for approximately 12,400 square feet of building space for the relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters to Englewood, Colorado (the “Sublease Premises”), which was effective as of January 26, 2017. The lease term commenced on June 1, 2017 and was to terminate in May 2021. The Company relocated its corporate headquarters from Sunnyvale, California to Englewood, Colorado in June 2017. 

The monthly base rent under the Sublease was equal to $20.50 per rentable square foot of the Sublease Premises during the first year. The monthly base rent was equal to $21.12 and $21.75 per rentable square foot during the second and third years, respectively. In connection with the execution of the Sublease, the Company also agreed to pay a security deposit of approximately $22,000. The Company was also provided an allowance of approximately $88,000 for certain tenant improvements relating to the engineering, design and construction of the Sublease Premises which has been reimbursed.  

In March 2021, the Company amended the Sublease for its office building space. The lease term was extended for a period of 34 months and will terminate on March 31, 2024.  The monthly gross rent for the first, second and third years of the lease extension is $21,028, $21,643 and $22,258 per month, respectively. The Company was also provided a rent abatement for the month of June 2021. Additionally, the sublandlord has agreed to perform certain construction, repair, maintenance or other tenant improvements to the Subleased Premises with estimated costs of approximately $19,000.

In September 2018, the Company entered into a 36-month noncancelable operating lease agreement for office equipment.  The lease commenced on September 20, 2018. The monthly lease payment is approximately $3,000. 

Operating lease rentals are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the date the Company takes possession of the property. At lease inception, the Company determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably assured. The lease term is used to determine whether a lease is financing or operating and is used to calculate straight-line rent expense. Additionally, the depreciable life of leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The following table reflects the Company’s lease assets and lease liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

The operating lease right-of-use assets are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The operating lease liabilities are included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The operating leases expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $69,000 and $77,000, respectively. The operating leases expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $211,000 and $226,000, respectively. 

As of September 30, 2021, the maturity of operating lease liabilities was as follows (in thousands):

The weighted average remaining lease term was approximately 29 months as of September 30, 2021. The weighted average discount rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 12.5%.

Lessor:

The following information pertains to those operating lease agreements where the Company is the lessor. 

As of September 30, 2021, minimum future rentals from customers on operating leases of Viveve Systems were as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2021, $465,000 of property and equipment is related to these operating lease agreements. The depreciation expense for that property and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $68,000 and $273,000, respectively. The depreciation expense for that property and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is $117,000 and $345,000, respectively.   

Indemnification Agreements

The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with performance of services within the scope of the agreement, breach of the agreement by the Company, or noncompliance of regulations or laws by the Company, in all cases provided the indemnified party has not breached the agreement and/or the loss is not attributable to the indemnified party’s negligence or willful malfeasance. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amounts of future payments the Company could be required to make under these arrangements is not determinable. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. 

Loss Contingencies

The Company is or has been subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates contingent liabilities, including threatened or pending litigation, for potential losses. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based upon the best information available. For potential losses for which there is a reasonable possibility (meaning the likelihood is more than remote but less than probable) that a loss exists, the Company will disclose an estimate of the potential loss or range of such potential loss or include a statement that an estimate of the potential loss cannot be made. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its estimates, which could materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.  Management does not believe that the outcome of any outstanding legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.    

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 16, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Delaware Secretary of State with respect to the authorized shares of Series A convertible preferred stock.

The shares of Series B convertible preferred stock have no voting rights and rank senior to all other classes and series of our equity in terms of repayment and certain other rights. 

The Series B convertible preferred stock also provides that for so long as any shares are outstanding, the consent of the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stockholders would be required to amend the Company’s organizational documents, approve any merger, sale of assets, or other major corporate transaction, or incur additional indebtedness, among other items.

The shares of Series C convertible preferred stock rank on par with the shares of the common stock, in each case, as to dividend rights and distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

With certain exceptions, as described in the Series C Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series C convertible preferred stock have no voting rights.

Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into one share of common stock, which conversion ratio will be subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, distributions, subdivisions and combinations and other similar transactions as specified in the Series C Certificate of Designation.

A total of 2,450,880 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock were issued in the January 2021 Offering. In January 2021, all Series C convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock and there are no remaining shares of Series C convertible preferred stock outstanding.

Restricted Common Shares

There were no restricted common shares issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The activity of restricted common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is described as follows:

In connection with the 2017 Loan Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase a total of 223 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9,500.00 per share. The warrants have a contractual life of ten years and are exercisable immediately in whole or in part. The fair value of the warrants, along with financing and legal fees, are recorded as debt issuance costs and presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a deduction from the carrying amount of the note payable. The debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the loan term. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $1,000 and $3,000, respectively, of interest expense relating to the debt issuance costs using the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $1,000 and $2,000, respectively, of interest expense relating to the debt issuance costs using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2021, the unamortized debt discount was $6,000.

In February 2020, a total of 102,626 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the exercise of Series A warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $1,591,000, and a total of 4,548 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the exercise of Series B warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $70,000.

On January 19, 2021, the Company closed a public offering at an effective price of $3.40 per share of its common stock. As a result, the per share exercise price of our previously issued Series B, A-2 and B-2 common stock warrants was automatically reduced pursuant to the terms of the warrants. The exercise price for Series B warrants was reduced from $6.10 per share to $3.40 per share. The exercise price for Series A-2 and B-2 warrants was reduced from $6.371 per share to $3.40 per share. There was no change to the quantity of warrant shares. The Company determined the incremental fair value on Series B, A-2 and B-2 warrants due to the reduction of exercise price on the date of such modification to be approximately $287,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used were as follows:
