NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Notes to Financial Statements

In this report, “Stereotaxis,” the “Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Stereotaxis, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Epoch™, Niobe^®, Odyssey^®, Odyssey Cinema™, Vdrive™^®, Vdrive Duo™, V-CAS™, V-Loop™, V-Sono™, QuikCAS™, Cardiodrive^®, PowerAssert ™, Titan^® and Pegasus™ are trademarks of Stereotaxis, Inc. All other trademarks that may appear in this report are the property of their respective owners.

1. Description of Business

Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets the Epoch Solution, which is an advanced remote robotic navigation system for use in a hospital’s interventional surgical suite, or “interventional lab”, that we believe revolutionizes the treatment of arrhythmias and coronary artery disease by enabling enhanced safety, efficiency and efficacy for catheter-based, or interventional, procedures. The Epoch Solution is comprised of the Niobe ES Robotic Magnetic Navigation System (“Niobe ES system”), Odyssey Information Management Solution (“Odyssey Solution”), and the Vdrive Robotic Navigation System (“Vdrive system”).

The Niobe ES system is the latest generation of the Niobe Robotic Magnetic Navigation System (“Niobe system”), which is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image guided delivery of catheters and guidewires through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guidewire, resulting in improved navigation, efficient procedures and reduced x-ray exposure.

In addition to the Niobe system and its components, Stereotaxis also has developed the Odyssey Solution, which consolidates all lab information enabling doctors to focus on the patient for optimal procedure efficiency. The system also features a remote viewing and recording capability called the Odyssey Cinema solution, which is an innovative solution delivering synchronized content for optimized workflow, advanced care and improved productivity. This tool includes an archiving capability that allows clinicians to store and replay entire procedures or segments of procedures. This information can be accessed from locations throughout the hospital local area network and over the global Odyssey Network providing physicians with a tool for clinical collaboration, remote consultation and training.

Our Vdrive system provides navigation and stability for diagnostic and therapeutic devices designed to improve interventional procedures. The Vdrive system complements the Niobe ES system control of therapeutic catheters for fully remote procedures and enables single-operator workflow and is sold as two options, the Vdrive system and the Vdrive Duo system. In addition to the Vdrive system and the Vdrive Duo system, we also manufacture and market various disposable components which can be manipulated by these systems.

We promote the full Epoch Solution in a typical hospital implementation, subject to regulatory approvals or clearances. The full Epoch Solution implementation requires a hospital to agree to an upfront capital payment and recurring payments. The upfront capital payment typically includes equipment and installation charges. The recurring payments typically include disposable costs for each procedure, equipment service costs beyond the warranty period, and software licenses. In hospitals where the full Epoch Solution has not been implemented, equipment upgrade or expansion can be implemented upon purchasing of the necessary upgrade or expansion.

The core components of Stereotaxis systems have received regulatory clearance in the U.S., European Union, Canada, China, Japan and elsewhere. The V-Sono™ ICE catheter manipulator and the V-Loop™ circular catheter manipulator have received U.S. clearance, and V-CAS™ catheter advancement system has been submitted for review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Since our inception, we have generated significant losses. As of September 30, 2014 we had incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $459.5 million. In May 2011, the Company introduced the Niobe ES system and as of September 30, 2014, the Company had an installed base of 118 Niobe ES systems and has received positive feedback from the physicians at these sites. Between 2011 and 2013, the Company implemented a wide ranging plan to rebalance and reduce operating expenses by 15% to 20% on an annual run rate basis. We expect to incur additional losses throughout the remainder of 2014 as we continue the development and commercialization of our products, conduct our research and development activities and advance new products into clinical development from our existing research programs and marketing initiatives. During 2014, we expect operating expenses to be generally consistent with 2013.

We may be required to raise capital or pursue other financing strategies to continue our operations. Until we can generate significant cash flow from our operations, we expect to continue to fund our operations with cash resources primarily generated from the proceeds of our past and future public offerings, private sales of our equity securities and working capital and equipment financing loans. In the future, we may finance cash needs through the sale of other equity securities or non-core assets, strategic collaboration agreements, debt financings or through distribution rights. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of our utilization of capital, which will depend on a number of factors outside of our control.

Our existing cash, cash equivalents and borrowing facilities may not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital equipment requirements through the next 12 months, which would require us to obtain additional financing before that time. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that such financing will not be dilutive to our stockholders. If adequate funds are not available to us, we could be required to delay development or commercialization of new products, to license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize ourselves or to reduce the sales, marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we could be required to cease operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Stereotaxis, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, they include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014 or for future operating periods.

These interim financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 27, 2014.

As described in Note 10, on July 10, 2012, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All information set forth in the financial statements and related notes gives effect to such reverse stock split.

Financial Instruments

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including warrants and debt conversion features. General accounting principles for fair value measurement established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). See Note 11 for additional details.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for other financial instruments as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable have carrying values which approximate fair value due to the short maturity or the financial nature of these instruments.

Long and short-term debt fair value estimates are based on estimated borrowing rates to discount the cash flows to their present value. See Note 9 for disclosure of the fair value of debt.

Revenue and Costs of Revenue

The Company accounts for revenue using Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”).

ASC 605-25 permits management to estimate the selling price of undelivered components of a bundled sale for which it is unable to establish vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or third-party evidence (“TPE”). This requires management to record revenue for certain elements of a transaction even though it might not have delivered other elements of the transaction, for which it was unable to meet the requirements for establishing VSOE or TPE. The Company believes that the guidance significantly improves the reporting of these types of transactions to more closely reflect the underlying economic circumstances. This guidance also prohibits the use of the residual method for allocating revenue to the various elements of a transaction and requires that the revenue be allocated proportionally based on the relative estimated selling prices.

Under our revenue recognition policy, a portion of revenue for Niobe systems, Vdrive systems and certain Odyssey systems is recognized upon delivery, provided that title has passed, there are no uncertainties regarding acceptance, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized for other types of Odyssey systems upon completion of installation, since there are no qualified third party installers. When installation is the responsibility of the customer, revenue from system sales is recognized upon shipment since these arrangements do not include an installation element or right of return privileges. The Company does not recognize revenue in situations in which inventory remains at a Stereotaxis warehouse or in situations in which title and risk of loss have not transferred to the customer. Amounts collected prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are reflected as deferred revenue. Revenue from services and license fees, whether sold individually or as a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable arrangement, is deferred and amortized over the service or license fee period, which is typically one year. Revenue from services is derived primarily from the sale of annual product maintenance plans. We recognize revenue from disposable device sales or accessories upon shipment and establish an appropriate reserve for returns. The return reserve, which is applicable only to disposable devices, is estimated based on historical experience which is periodically reviewed and updated as necessary. In the past, changes in estimate have had only a de minimis effect on revenue recognized in the period. We believe that the estimate is not likely to change significantly in the future.

Costs of systems revenue include direct product costs, installation labor and other costs, estimated warranty costs, and initial training and product maintenance costs. These costs are recorded at the time of sale. Costs of disposable revenue include direct product costs and estimated warranty costs and are recorded at the time of sale. Cost of revenue from services and license fees are recorded when incurred.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and restricted stock units and for its employee stock purchase plan in accordance with the provisions of general accounting principles for share-based payments. These accounting principles require the determination of the fair value of the share-based compensation at the grant date and the recognition of the related expense over the period in which the share-based compensation vests.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options and stock appreciation rights at the date of grant. The resulting compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally four years. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated based on the Company’s historical experience and future expectations. Restricted shares granted to employees are valued at the fair market value at the date of grant. The Company amortizes the fair market value to expense over the service period. If the shares are subject to performance objectives, the resulting compensation expense is amortized over the anticipated vesting period and is subject to adjustment based on the actual achievement of objectives.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share (“EPS”)

Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:


	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2014		2013			2014			2013
Numerator:
Numerator for basic EPS	$	22,670	$	(56,868,442	)	$	(6,058,656	)	$	(64,795,382	)
Effect of dilutive securities:		—		—			—			—

Numerator for diluted EPS	$	22,670	$	(56,868,442	)	$	(6,058,656	)	$	(64,795,382	)

Denominator:
Denominator for basic EPS—weighted average shares		20,326,169		12,666,414			19,767,545			9,640,249
Effect of dilutive securities:
Restricted stock units		156,525		—			—			—
Stock options, appreciation rights and warrants		36,063		—			—			—

Denominator for diluted EPS		20,518,757		12,666,414			19,767,545			9,640,249

Basic EPS	$	0.00	$	(4.49	)	$	(0.31	)	$	(6.72	)
Diluted EPS	$	0.00	$	(4.49	)	$	(0.31	)	$	(6.72	)

The following potential common shares were excluded from diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as they were antidilutive: 500,294 stock options and stock appreciation rights, 391,775 restricted stock units, and 2,111,618 warrants.

In addition, the Company did not include any portion of unearned restricted shares, outstanding options, stock appreciation rights or warrants in the calculation of diluted loss per common share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The application of the two-class method of computing earnings per share under general accounting principles for participating securities is not applicable during these periods because the Company’s unearned restricted shares do not contractually participate in its losses.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had 500,919 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and stock appreciation rights at a weighted average exercise price of $18.38 per share and 2,197,883 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $6.12 per share. The Company had no unearned restricted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU” or “Update”) No. 2014-15, to communicate amendments to FASB Account Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The ASU requires management to evaluate relevant conditions, events and certain management plans that are known or reasonably knowable as of the evaluation date when determining whether substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists. Management will be required to make this evaluation for both annual and interim reporting periods. Management will have to make certain disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when it plans to alleviate substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim reporting periods starting in the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting standard update on our financial statement disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which converges the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s current standards on revenue recognition. The standard provides companies with a single model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue guidance. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The standard permits companies to either apply the adoption to all periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption through a cumulative adjustment. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting standard update on our financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Update 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The update requires that the Company present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of AOCI based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. As the Company has no items of other comprehensive income, the Company is not required to report accumulated other comprehensive income.

Revolving line of credit

On March 29, 2013, the Company amended its agreement with its primary lender, Silicon Valley Bank, to extend the maturity date of the $13 million working capital line of credit from March 31, 2013 to June 30, 2013. The Company also received from stockholders, who at the time were affiliates of two current and former members of our board of directors (the “Lenders”) and were considered to be related parties, an extension of their commitment to provide $3 million in loan guarantees until June 30, 2013. As a result of this extension, the Company issued the Lenders warrants to purchase 113,636 shares of common stock at $1.98 per share. Under the facility the Company was required to maintain a minimum “tangible net worth” and liquidity ratio as defined in the agreement. Interest on the facility accrued at the rate of prime plus 0.5% subject to a floor of 6% for the amount under guarantee and prime plus 1.75% subject to a floor of 7% for the remaining amounts.

On June 28, 2013, the Company amended its agreement with its primary lender. The amendment extended the maturity date of the working capital line of credit from June 30, 2013 to July 31, 2013, and decreased the amount of available advances from $13 million to $6 million. In addition, the primary lender waived the testing of the tangible net worth and liquidity ratio financial covenants under the Amended Loan Agreement for the period ended June 30, 2013. The Company and the Lenders also agreed to extend until July 31, 2013 the $3 million guarantee. As a result of this extension, the Company issued the Lenders warrants to purchase 48,387 shares of common stock at $1.55 per share.

On July 31, 2013, the Company amended its agreement with its primary lender. The amendment extended the maturity date of the working capital line of credit from July 31, 2013 to August 31, 2013. In addition, the primary lender waived the testing of the liquidity ratio financial covenant under the Amended Loan Agreement for the period ended July 31, 2013. The Company and the Lenders also agreed to extend until August 31, 2013 the $3 million guarantee. As a result of this extension, the Company issued the Lenders warrants to purchase 14,313 shares of common stock at $5.24 per share.

On August 30, 2013, the Company amended its agreement with its primary lender. The amendment extended the maturity date of the working capital line of credit from August 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company and the primary lender agreed to a reduction in the revolving credit line from $6.0 million to $3.0 million, the elimination of the $3.0 million sublimit guaranteed by the Lenders, and release of the guarantees by the Lenders in favor of the primary lender. The amendment eliminated the prepayment premium for the prepayment of the term loan and modified the financial covenants to (a) eliminate the minimum tangible net worth covenant, (b) substitute in lieu thereof an EBITDA test, requiring the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA of no less than (no worse than) (i) negative $4.0 million for the trailing three-month period ending September 30, 2013 and (ii) negative $3.0 million for the trailing three-month period ending December 31, 2013, in each case tested quarterly on a trailing three month basis, and (c) revise the liquidity ratio covenant to require the Company to maintain a liquidity ratio of greater than 2:1, excluding certain short term advances from the calculation.

On March 28, 2014, the Company amended its agreement with its primary lender. The amendment extended the maturity date of the working capital line of credit from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015. In addition, the Company and the primary lender agreed to an increase in the revolving credit line from $3.0 million to $10.0 million and modified the financial covenants to (a) eliminate the EBITDA test, (b) substitute in lieu thereof a minimum tangible net worth test, requiring the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of not less than (no worse than) negative $21 million, with such minimum requirement subject to increase under certain circumstances as described in the agreement, and (c) revise the liquidity ratio covenant to require the Company to maintain a liquidity ratio of greater than 1.75:1.00, excluding certain short term advances from the calculation.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding debt under the revolving line of credit. Draws on the line of credit are made based on the borrowing capacity one week in arrears. As of September 30, 2014 the Company had a borrowing capacity of $6.1 million based on the Company’s collateralized assets. As such, the Company had the ability to borrow $6.1 million under the revolving line of credit at September 30, 2014.

Term note

Under the 2010 amendment to the loan agreement, the Company entered into a $10 million term loan maturing on December 31, 2013, with $2 million of principal due in 2011 and $4 million of principal due in each of 2012 and 2013. Interest on the term loan accrued at the rate of the primary lender’s prime plus 3.5% until September 2011, at which point it was adjusted to the lender’s prime plus 5.5%. Under this agreement, the Company provided its primary lender with warrants to purchase 11,111 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $36.00 per share, beginning on December 17, 2010 and expiring on December 17, 2015. The fair value of these warrants of $228,332, calculated using the Black-Scholes method, was deferred and amortized to interest expense ratably over the life of the term loan. The term note was paid in full in September 2013.

Healthcare Royalty Partners Debt

In November 2011, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Healthcare Royalty Partners. Under the agreement the Company borrowed from Healthcare Royalty Partners $15 million. The Company was permitted to borrow up to an additional $5 million in the aggregate based on the achievement by the Company of certain milestones related to Niobe system sales in 2012. On August 8, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe system sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. On January 31, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe system sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The loan will be repaid through, and secured by, royalties payable to the Company under its Development, Alliance and Supply Agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. The Biosense Agreement relates to the development and distribution of magnetically enabled catheters used with Stereotaxis’ Niobe system in cardiac ablation procedures. Under the terms of the Agreement, Healthcare Royalty Partners will be entitled to receive 100% of all royalties due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement until the loan is repaid. The loan is a full recourse loan, matures on December 31, 2018, and bears interest at an annual rate of 16% payable quarterly with royalties received under the Biosense Agreement. If the payments received by the Company under the Biosense Agreement are insufficient to pay all amounts of interest due on the loan, then such deficiency will increase the outstanding principal amount on the loan. After the loan obligation is repaid, the royalties under the Biosense Agreement will again be paid to the Company. The loan is also secured by certain assets and intellectual property of the Company. The Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The use of payments due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement was approved by our primary lender under the Amended Loan Agreement described above.

Subordinated Convertible Debentures

In May 2012, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors whereby the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of approximately $8.5 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured, subordinated, convertible debentures (the “Debentures”), which became convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.361 per share (or approximately 2.5 million shares in the aggregate), on July 10, 2012, the date that the Company received shareholder approval for the transaction. The purchasers of the Debentures also received six-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.361 per share (“Convert Warrants”). The Debentures bore interest at 8% per year and were to mature on May 7, 2014. In addition, the Company had the ability to issue shares of its common stock in lieu of cash interest payments under certain circumstances, and following the registration of the shares for resale, the Company issued shares in lieu of cash interest payments.

The Company recorded the Debentures on the balance sheet net of the debt discount. The debt discount of $7.6 million was due to warrants issued in conjunction with the Debentures and the debt conversion features. Upon issuance of the Debentures, the fair value of the warrants and derivative liability were $4.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The debt discount was amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method and the warrants and derivative liability were recorded at fair value on each reporting period. Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion of the fair value of the warrants.

On August 7, 2013, holders of Convert Warrants exercised all of their Convert Warrants for an aggregate of approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $8.5 million. In addition, holders of all of the Debentures exchanged the balance of their unconverted Debentures for an aggregate of approximately 2.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock and additional warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to purchase approximately 2.5 million shares, having an exercise price of $3.361 per share. On August 8, 2013, certain former holders of the Debentures exercised Exchange Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.4 million shares of common stock in cashless net exercises as provided for in the Exchange Warrants, which resulted in the issuance to such funds of an aggregate of 0.8 million shares of common stock, but no net proceeds to the Company. The Company is relying on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on representations to the Company made by the warrant holders.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held and to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock having priority rights as dividends and the conditions of the Revolving Credit Agreement. No dividends have been declared or paid as of September 30, 2014.

Listing Transfer to NASDAQ Capital Market

On August 15, 2013, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) granted approval of the Company’s request to transfer its listing to The NASDAQ Capital Market^® from The NASDAQ Global Market^®. The Company’s securities began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market effective August 19, 2013.

Reverse Stock Split

On July 10, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to implement a one-for-ten reverse split of our common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The ratio for the Reverse Stock Split was determined by our Board of Directors pursuant to the approval of the stockholders at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on July 10, 2012, authorizing the Board to effect a reverse stock split within a range of one-for-four to one-for-ten shares of the Company’s common stock. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of July 10, 2012, and the Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on a post-split basis on July 11, 2012.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each ten shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split affected all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as common stock underlying stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, warrants and convertible debentures outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding from approximately 78 million to 7.8 million at the time of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Amendment increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100 million to 300 million. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of common stock, which remained $0.001 per share, or modify any voting rights or other terms of the Company’s common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, all information set forth herein gives effect to such Reverse Stock Split.

Private Offerings of Common Stock

In May 2012, the Company entered into a Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors whereby it agreed to sell an aggregate of approximately 2.17 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “PIPE Common Stock”) at a price of $3.361 per share, together with six-year warrants at a price of $1.25 per share to purchase an aggregate of approximately 2.17 million shares of common stock having an exercise price of $3.361 per share (the “PIPE Warrants”). Each purchaser received a PIPE Warrant to purchase one share of common stock for every share of PIPE Common Stock purchased. Net proceeds from the sale of the securities were approximately $9.1 million, after placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Company used the funds to repay $7 million of the revolving credit facility guaranteed by the Lenders and plans to use the balance for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On August 7, 2013, venture funds affiliated with Sanderling Ventures received an aggregate of 183,478 shares of common stock based upon the cashless exercise of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 262,450 shares of common stock. These warrants were comprised of 75,758 warrants with an exercise price of $1.98 per share, 156,204 warrants with an exercise price of $3.361 per share and 30,488 warrants with an exercise price of $4.10 per share. The warrants were issued by the Company in private placements in 2012 and 2013 in connection with the extension of previously disclosed guarantees.

On August 13, 2013, venture funds affiliated with Sanderling Ventures exercised PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 650,619 shares of common stock in a cashless net exercise as provided for in the PIPE Warrants, which resulted in the issuance to such funds of an aggregate of 308,194 shares of common stock. As a result, there were no net proceeds to the Company.

On August 16, 2013, certain affiliates of Franklin Templeton exercised PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 650,618 shares of common stock for cash. The Company received an aggregate of $2,186,727 gross proceeds from the sale.

On August 16, 2013, Alafi Capital Company exercised PIPE Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 261,241 shares of common stock for cash. The Company received an aggregate of $878,031 gross proceeds from the sale.

On November 27, 2013, the Company announced the results of its previously announced offering of subscription rights to purchase shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Pursuant to the rights offering, subscription rights to purchase approximately 3.4 million shares of common stock were exercised, resulting in gross proceeds to Stereotaxis of approximately $10.2 million.

Controlled Equity Offering

In May 2014, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering^SM sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), as agent and/or principal, pursuant to which the Company could issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $18.0 million. The Company will pay Cantor a commission of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from any common stock sold through the Sales Agreement.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 161,632 shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, at an average price of approximately $3.38 per share for gross proceeds of $546,432 and net proceeds of $530,039, after deducting Cantor’s commission and related costs. As of September 30, 2014, $14.9 million of common stock remained available to be sold under this facility, subject to certain conditions as specified in the Sales Agreement.

Stock Award Plans

The Company has various stock plans that permit the Company to provide incentives to employees and directors of the Company in the form of equity compensation. In August 2012, the Board of Directors adopted a stock incentive plan (the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan “Plan”) which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders. This plan replaces the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan which expired on March 25, 2012. On June 5, 2013, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan, which was previously approved and adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in April 2013. The amendment increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by one million shares. On June 10, 2014, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan, which was previously approved and adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on March 27, 2014. The amendment increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by one million shares. At September 30, 2014, the Company had 1,307,300 remaining shares of the Company’s common stock to provide for current and future grants under its various equity plans.

At September 30, 2014, the total compensation cost related to options, stock appreciation rights and non-vested stock granted to employees under the Company’s stock award plans but not yet recognized was approximately $1.9 million, net of estimated forfeitures of approximately $1.7 million. This cost will be amortized over a period of up to four years over the underlying estimated service periods and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures and anticipated vesting periods.

A summary of the option and stock appreciation rights activity for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:


	Number of Options/SARs			Range of Exercise Price	Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share

11. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents and warrants. General accounting principles for fair value measurement established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (“Level 3”). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1:

Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Values are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or other model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3:

Values are generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Accounting Standards Codification, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.


	Fair Value Measurement Using
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Instruments (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets at September 30, 2014:
Cash equivalents	$	7,747,863		7,747,863		—		—

Total assets at fair value	$	7,747,863		7,747,863		—		—

Total assets at fair value	$	11,995,481		11,995,481		—		—

Liabilities at December 31, 2013:

Warrants issued May 10, 2012		1,915,753		—		—		1,915,753
Warrants issued August 2013		3,712,010		—		—		3,712,010

Total liabilities at fair value:	$	5,644,626		—		—		5,644,626

Level 1

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash equivalents invested in money market funds in the amount of $7,747,863 and $11,995,481 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These assets are classified as Level 1 as described above and total interest income recorded for these investments was insignificant during both the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 during the period ended September 30, 2014.

Level 2

The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 2.

Level 3

In conjunction with its December 29, 2008 registered direct offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 179,241 shares of the Company’s common stock that contained a provision that required a reduction of the exercise price if certain equity events occurred. Under the provisions of general accounting principles for derivatives and hedging activities and determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, such a reset provision does not meet the exemptions for equity classification and as such, the Company accounts for these warrants as derivative instruments. The calculated fair value of the warrants is classified as a liability and is periodically remeasured with any changes in value recognized in “Other income (expense)” in the Statement of Operations. General accounting principles for determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock became effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrants as of that date was reclassified from stockholders’ equity into current liabilities. This tranche of warrants issued in conjunction with the December 2008 registered direct offering were expired as of September 30, 2014.

In the Company’s May 2012 financing transaction, the Company issued subordinated convertible debentures and warrants. The optional conversion feature of the subordinated convertible debentures was classified as a derivative liability within “Warrants and derivative liabilities” on the Company’s balance sheet. The warrants issued in conjunction with the Debentures and PIPE were also considered a liability. Due to the provisions included in the warrant agreements, the warrants did not meet the exemptions for equity classification and as such, the Company accounts for these warrants as derivative instruments. The warrants and derivative liability were periodically remeasured with any changes in value recognized in “Other income (expense)” in the Statements of Operations.

Per the terms of the Debentures agreement, the Company had the ability to require each holder to convert up to 50% of the Debentures if the common stock closed above $15.00, or 100% of the Debentures if the common stock closed above $20.00 (in each case, as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events) during a 20 consecutive trading day period and the resale registration statement had been declared effective by the SEC and was available for the issuance of the common stock upon conversion of the Debentures. In the event of any forced conversion by the Company, the minimum amount that the Company could force the holders to convert was $2.5 million of Debentures in the aggregate. This mandatory redemption clause was classified as a derivative asset within “Prepaid and other current assets” on the Company’s balance sheet. The derivative asset was periodically remeasured with any changes in value recognized in “Other income (expense)” in the Statement of Operations.

Based on the discussion of the Debentures in Note 10, the Debentures along with their derivative liability and asset, and related warrants were extinguished in the third quarter of 2013.

The initial valuation of Exchange warrants were valued as of August 7, 2013 using the following assumptions: 1) volatility of 111%; 2) risk-free interest rate of 1.46%; and 3) a closing stock price of $8.69.

The remaining Exchange warrants expire in November 2018 and were revalued as of September 30, 2014 using the following assumptions: 1) volatility of 153.39%; 2) risk-free interest rate of 1.78%; and 3) a closing stock price of $2.32.

The remaining PIPE warrants expire in May 2018 and were revalued as of September 30, 2014 using the following assumptions: 1) volatility of 162.85%; 2) risk-free interest rate of 1.78%; and 3) a closing stock price of $2.32.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrants is volatility. Significant increases (decreases) in the volatility in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) liability fair value measurements.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014:


	Warrants issued December 29, 2008			Warrants issued May 2012			Warrants issued August 2013			Total Liabilities
Balance at beginning of period	$	16,863		$	1,915,753		$	3,712,010		$	5,644,626
Settlements		—			—			—			—
Revaluation		(16,863	)		(708,349	)		(1,414,506	)		(2,139,718	)

Balance at end of period	$	—		$	1,207,404		$	2,297,504		$	3,504,908

The Company currently does not have derivative instruments to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations or other business risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. All derivative financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value.

12. Product Warranty Provisions

The Company’s standard policy is to warrant all Niobe, Odyssey, and Vdrive systems against defects in material or workmanship for one year following installation. The Company’s estimate of costs to service the warranty obligations is based on historical experience and current product performance trends. A regular review of warranty obligations is performed to determine the adequacy of the reserve and adjustments are made to the estimated warranty liability as appropriate.

Accrued warranty, which is included in other accrued liabilities, consists of the following:


	September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Warranty accrual, beginning of the fiscal period	$	501,212		$	653,473
Accrual adjustment for product warranty		11,885			84,562
Payments made		(133,303	)		(236,823	)

Warranty accrual, end of the fiscal period	$	379,794		$	501,212

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company at times becomes a party to claims in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened proceedings will not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

In 2012, the Company entered into a letter of credit to support a commitment in the amount of approximately $0.1 million. This letter of credit is valid through 2015.

14. Subsequent Events

None.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Revenue. Revenue decreased from $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $8.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of 18%. Revenue from the sale of systems decreased from $4.4 million to $2.2 million, a decrease of approximately 51%, primarily due to lower Niobe system sales volumes and Odyssey system pricing as a result of sales through the distribution agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. We recognized revenue on a total of $0.9 million for Niobe system revenue, primarily due to Niobe system installations, a total $1.1 million for Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems, and $0.2 million for Vdrive systems during the 2014 period. System revenue for the prior year period included three Niobe ES systems, a total of $0.1 million for Niobe ES system upgrades, and a total of $1.6 million for Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems. Revenue from sales of disposable interventional devices, service and accessories increased to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 5%. The increase in the current year period was driven by higher disposable sales volume, increased service revenue and increased royalty revenue from Biosense Webster’s sale of magnetically enabled catheters.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of our total revenue, overall gross margin has increased from 68% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, due to a shift in mix from system revenue to disposable, service and accessory revenue. Cost of revenue for systems sold decreased from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 44%, due primarily to decreased Niobe system sales volumes. Gross margin for systems decreased to 40% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 47% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to low margin sales of Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems through our distribution agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. Cost of revenue for disposables, service and accessories has decreased from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of 12%. Gross margin for disposables, service and accessories was 85% for the current quarter compared to 82% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was driven by increased royalty revenue from Biosense Webster’s sale of magnetically enabled catheters.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 7%. This decrease was primarily due to timing of project based expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 9%. This decrease was primarily due to rent reduction driven by the lease amendment in the prior year third quarter as well as due to reduced headcount costs and consulting expenses as part of the Company’s continued efforts to contain operating expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include regulatory, clinical, finance, information systems, legal, general management and training expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased from $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 7%. This decrease was primarily due to rent reduction driven by the lease amendment in the prior year third quarter as well as due to reduced consulting expenses in the current year period.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) represents the non-cash change in market value of certain warrants classified as a derivative and recorded as a current liability under general accounting principles for determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. Other expense in prior year also includes the adjustment in fair value of the derivative asset and liability related to the conversion features embedded in the subordinated convertible debentures during periods in which the debentures were outstanding. Other income increased to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to the adjustment in fair value of warrants. Other expense was $48.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to non-cash charges incurred as a result of capital transactions with convertible note holders and other equity investors.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to the extinguishment of the convertible debentures and pay off of the line of credit and term loan in 2013.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Revenue. Revenue decreased from $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 13%. Revenue from the sale of systems decreased from $10.0 million to $4.7 million, a decrease of approximately 53%. We recognized revenue on one Niobe system which was a Niobe I to Niobe ES system upgrade, a total of $1.4 million for system installation revenue, one Niobe ES system upgrades and a customer deposit for a previously cancelled Niobe system order. In addition, we recognized revenue on a total of $2.0 million for Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems and a total of $0.7 million for Vdrive systems during the 2014 period. System revenue for the prior year period included six Niobe ES systems, a total of $0.8 million for Niobe ES upgrades, a total of $3.3 million for Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems, and a total of $0.2 million for Vdrive systems. Revenue from sales of disposable interventional devices, service and accessories increased to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 9%. The increase was attributable to higher disposable sales volume and increased service revenue.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased from $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 27%. As a percentage of our total revenue, overall gross margin increased to 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 72% during the same nine month period of the prior year, due to a shift in mix from system revenue to disposable, service and accessory revenue. Cost of revenue for systems sold decreased from $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 42%, primarily due to decreased system sales volumes across Niobe system and Odyssey system product lines. Gross margin for systems decreased from 49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to low margin sales of Odyssey and Odyssey Cinema systems through our distribution agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. and the sale of a Niobe I to Niobe ES system upgrade. Cost of revenue for disposables, service and accessories has remained consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2013 at $3.0 million, with an increase in gross margin to 86% from 84% between these periods. The increase is primarily due to increased service margins.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased from $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 7%. The decrease is primarily due to lower depreciation expense due to fully depreciated fixed assets as well as due to lower headcount expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased from $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately 13%. This decrease was primarily due to rent reduction driven by the lease amendment in the prior year third quarter as well as due to reduced headcount costs, including severance costs, as part of the Company’s continued efforts to reduce operating expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses include regulatory, clinical, finance, information systems, legal, general management and training expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of 2%. This decrease was primarily due to rent reduction driven by the lease amendment in the prior year third quarter as well as due to reduced consulting and legal expenses in the current year period.

Other Income (Expense). Other income (expense) represents the change in market value of certain warrants classified as a derivative and recorded as a current liability under general accounting principles for determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. Other expense in prior year also includes the adjustment in fair value of the derivative asset and liability related to the conversion features embedded in the subordinated convertible debentures. The primary drivers of fluctuations in this balance are changes in the Company’s stock price from one period to the next. Other income increased to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to the adjustment of warrants. Other expense was $46.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to non-cash charges incurred as a result of capital transactions with convertible note holders and other equity investors.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due primarily to the extinguishment of the convertible debentures and pay off of the line of credit and term loan in 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to the liquid financial assets available to fund our business operations and pay for near-term obligations. These liquid financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2014 we had $8.7 million of cash and equivalents. We had working capital of approximately $3.2 million and $4.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease in the working capital is due principally to the net losses incurred for the first nine months of 2014 and partially offset by the proceeds from Controlled Equity Offering in 2014.

The following table summarizes our cash flow by operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013
Cash flow used in operating activities	$	(7,793	)	$	(4,922	)
Cash flow used in investing activities		(48	)		—
Cash flow provided by financing activities		2,790			5,531

Net cash used in operating activities. We used approximately $7.8 million and $4.9 million of cash for operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by changes in working capital generating $3.2 million of cash during the first nine months of 2013 and using $1.4 million of cash during the first nine months of 2014. This increase in cash used by working capital was impacted by higher inventory levels as well as higher payments against accrued liabilities and accounts payable in 2014. The increase in cash used from working capital was partially offset by a decrease in the operating loss during these periods.

Net cash used in investing activities. We used less than $0.1 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 for the purchase of equipment. There were no purchases of equipment for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.

Net cash provided by financing activities. We generated approximately $2.8 million of cash for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the $5.5 million generated for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The cash generated for the current year period was driven by proceeds from stock issued through the Controlled Equity Offering. The cash generated in the prior year period was driven by proceeds from the cash exercise of warrants and payments against short term debt.

Borrowing facilities

As of September 30, 2014, our borrowing facilities were comprised of a revolving line of credit maintained with our primary lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as well as the Healthcare Royalty Partners debt discussed in the following sections.

The revolving line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company is also required under the revolving line of credit to maintain its primary operating account and the majority of its cash and investment balances in accounts with its primary lender.

On March 29, 2013, the Company amended its agreement with its primary lender to extend the maturity date of the $13 million working capital line of credit from March 31, 2013 to June 30, 2013. The Company also received from stockholders, who at the time were affiliates of two current and former members of our board of directors (the “Lenders”) and were considered to be related parties,

an extension of their commitment to provide $3 million in loan guarantees until June 30, 2013. As a result of this extension, the Company issued the Lenders warrants to purchase 113,636 shares of common stock at $1.98 per share. Under the facility the Company was required to maintain a minimum “tangible net worth” and liquidity ratio as defined in the agreement. Interest on the facility accrued at the rate of prime plus 0.5% subject to a floor of 6% for the amount under guarantee and prime plus 1.75% subject to a floor of 7% for the remaining amounts.

Term note

Healthcare Royalty Partners Debt

In November 2011, we entered into a loan agreement with Healthcare Royalty Partners. Under the agreement the Company borrowed from Healthcare Royalty Partners $15 million. The Company was permitted to borrow up to an additional $5 million in the aggregate based on the achievement by the Company of certain milestones related to Niobe system sales in 2012. On August 8, 2012, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe system sales for the nine

months ended June 30, 2012. On January 31, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $2.5 million based upon achievement of a milestone related to Niobe system sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The loan will be repaid through, and secured by, royalties payable to the Company under its Development, Alliance and Supply Agreement with Biosense Webster, Inc. (the “Biosense Agreement”). The Biosense Agreement relates to the development and distribution of magnetically enabled catheters used with Stereotaxis’ Niobe system in cardiac ablation procedures. Under the terms of the Agreement, Healthcare Royalty Partners will be entitled to receive 100% of all royalties due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement until the loan is repaid. The loan is a full recourse loan, matures on December 31, 2018, and bears interest at an annual rate of 16% payable quarterly with royalties received under the Biosense Agreement. If the payments received by the Company under the Biosense Agreement are insufficient to pay all amounts of interest due on the loan, then such deficiency will increase the outstanding principal amount on the loan. After the loan obligation is repaid, royalties under the Biosense Agreement will again be paid to the Company. The loan is also secured by certain assets and intellectual property of the Company. The Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. The use of payments due to the Company under the Biosense Agreement was approved by our primary lender under the Amended Loans Agreement described above.

Subordinated Convertible Debentures

The Company recorded the Debentures on the balance sheet net of the debt discount. The debt discount of $7.6 million is due to warrants issued in conjunction with the Debentures and the debt conversion features. Upon issuance of the Debentures, the fair value of the warrants and derivative liability were $4.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The debt discount was amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method and the warrants and derivative liability were recorded at fair value on each reporting period. Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion of the fair value of the warrants.

Listing Transfer to NASDAQ Capital Market

On August 15, 2013, the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) granted approval of the Company’s request to transfer its listing to The NASDAQ Capital Market from The NASDAQ Global Market. The Company’s securities began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market effective August 19, 2013.

Reverse Stock Split

Common Stock

Controlled Equity Offering

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As a result, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could have arisen if we had engaged in these relationships.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Exchange Risk

We operate mainly in the U.S., Europe and Asia and we expect to continue to sell our products both within and outside of the U.S. Although the majority of our revenue and expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars, a portion of our operations are conducted in Euros and to a lesser extent, in other currencies. As such, we have foreign exchange exposure with respect to non-U.S. dollar revenues and expenses as well as cash balances, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other asset and liability balances denominated in non-US dollar currencies. Our international operations are subject to risks typical of international operations, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Future fluctuations in the value of these currencies may affect the price competitiveness of our products. In addition, because we have a relatively long installation cycle for our systems, we will be subject to risk of currency fluctuations between the time we execute a purchase order and the time we deliver the system and collect payments under the order, which could adversely affect our operating margins. As of September 30, 2014 we have not hedged exposures in foreign currencies or entered into any other derivative instruments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, sales denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 16% of total revenue and as such, our revenue would have decreased by approximately $0.4 million if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used would have strengthened by 10%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, expenses denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 10% of our total expenses and as such, our operating expenses would have decreased by approximately $0.3 million if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used would have strengthened by 10%. In addition, we have assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. A 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar exchange rate against all currencies with which we have exposure at September 30, 2014 would have resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in the carrying amounts of those net assets.

Interest Rate Risk

We have exposure to interest rate risk related to our investment portfolio. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our invested cash without significantly increasing the risk of loss. Our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly since the majority of our investments are in short-term debt instruments. We invest our excess cash primarily in U.S. government securities and marketable debt securities of financial institutions and corporations with strong credit ratings. These instruments generally have maturities of two years or less when acquired. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions. Accordingly, we believe that while the instruments we hold are subject to changes in the financial standing of the issuer of such securities, we are not subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.

We have exposure to market risk related to any investments we might hold. Market liquidity issues might make it impossible for the Company to liquidate its holdings or require that the Company sell the securities at a substantial loss. As of September 30, 2014, the Company did not hold any investments.

We have exposure to interest rate risk related to our borrowings as the interest rates for certain of our outstanding loans are subject to increase should the interest rate increase above a defined percentage. Certain issuances of our outstanding debt are subject to a minimum interest rate of 7.0%, however a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would have no impact on interest expense due to interest rate floors on our floating rate debt.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material adverse impact on our business or operating results during the periods covered by this report.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during the period covered by this report.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, on October 7, 2011, a purported securities class action was filed against the Company and two of the Company’s past executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri by Kevin Pound, a purported shareholder of the Company. On December 29, 2011, the court granted an unopposed motion appointing Local 522 Pension Fund as Lead Plaintiff in the action and granting Lead Plaintiff leave to file an Amended Complaint, which Lead Plaintiff filed on March 19, 2012. The Amended Complaint alleged that, during the period from February 28, 2011 through August 9, 2011, the Company and certain of its officers made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s financial condition and future business prospects, in violation of sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Amended Complaint sought unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees and such other relief as the Court may deem appropriate. On May 18, 2012, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. On July 24, 2012, Lead Plaintiff filed its response to the motion to dismiss, and on August 30, 2012, the Company filed its reply brief in support of the motion to dismiss. On March 18, 2014, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss and entered judgment in favor of the defendants and against the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs did not file a notice of appeal prior to the deadline of April 17, 2014.

As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, on December 2, 2011, a purported shareholder derivative action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri by Carl Zorn, a purported shareholder of the Company, against the directors of the Company and the Company as a nominal defendant. The Complaint in this action alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, engaged in gross mismanagement and caused waste of corporate assets of the Company by allowing the Company and certain of its officers to make the same allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s financial condition and future business prospects that were at issue in the purported class action. The Complaint sought unspecified damages, restitution and other equitable relief, as well as costs and attorneys’ fees from the named defendants on behalf of the Company. At the request of all parties, on March 22, 2012, the Court entered an order staying the case pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the securities class action. On July 18, 2014, the Court granted the parties’ joint motion to dismiss the case without prejudice.

Additionally, we are involved from time to time in various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. Although the outcomes of these lawsuits and claims are uncertain, we do not believe any of them will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
