1.Description of the Business and Financial Condition

ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (the “Company”) is a commercial-stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of technology that enables physicians to see inside the brain using direct, intra-procedural magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) guidance whileinnovative platforms for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures.

procedures in the brain. From the Company’s inception in 1998, the Company deployed significant resources to fund its efforts to develop the foundational capabilities for enabling MRI-guided interventions, building an intellectual property portfolio, and identifying and building out commercial applications for the technologies it develops. In 2021, the Company’s efforts expanded beyond the MRI suite to encompass development and commercialization of new neurosurgical device products for the operating room setting, as well as consulting services for pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations.

The Company’s initial product offering, the ClearPoint system, is an integrated system comprised of capital equipment and disposable products, is designed to allow minimally invasive procedures in the brain to be performed in an MRI suite. The ClearPoint Array Neuro Navigation System and its principal disposable component, introduced in 2021, is designed to be deployed in an operating room setting while also being usable in an MRI suite. Both systems provide guidance for the placement and operation of instruments or devices during the planning and operation of neurosurgical procedures. The Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in 2010 to market the ClearPoint system in the United States for general neurologicalneurosurgical interventional procedures.

In March 2020,2011 and 2018, the World Health Organization characterizedCompany received 510(k) clearance and CE marking, respectively, for its SmartFlow cannula which is being used, or is under evaluation, by approximately 50 pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or contract research organizations having a focus on biologics and drug delivery. In September 2022 the spreadClearPoint Prism Neuro Laser Therapy System, for which ClearPoint Neuro has exclusive global commercialization rights, received 510(k) clearance through the Company’s Swedish partner Clinical Laserthermia Systems (CLS). The Prism laser represents the first therapy product the Company will commercialize.

Macroeconomic Trends
We continue to monitor the impact of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)various macroeconomic trends, such as a global pandemic,economic and supply chain disruptions, geopolitical instability, labor shortages and inflationary conditions, and the Presidentcontinuing impacts of the United States later proclaimed that the COVID-19 outbreakpandemic. Changes in the United States constituted a national emergency. Extraordinary actions were taken by federal, statedomestic and local governmental authorities to combat the spread of COVID-19, including issuances of “stay-at-home” directives and similar mandates that substantially restricted daily activities and for many businesses curtailed or ceased normal operations. These measures led to reducedglobal economic activity, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgical procedures, which historically have represented approximately 80% of the number of surgical procedures using the Company’s ClearPoint system. Although economic activity is returning to a normalized level, the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread in the United States and across the globe. The ultimate impact of the Delta variant, and other new strains that may develop, cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta and other variants and the response by governmental bodies and regulators, which could include vaccine mandates.

Furthermore, globalconditions, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, as well as other stimulus and spending programs, have led to higher inflation, which is likely to lead to increased costs and may cause changes in fiscal and monetary policy. Impacts from inflationary pressures, such an increasing costs for research and development of our products, administrative and other costs of doing business, and our availability to access capital markets and other sources of funding in the future could adversely affect our abilitybusiness, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, these trends could adversely affect our customers, which could impact their willingness to retainspend on our products and attract new talent, and inflationary conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.services. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludethese situations precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19they will have on the Company’sour business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments directly or indirectly relating to the duration and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States and globally.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, which has resulted in a cumulative deficit at September 30, 20212022 of approximately $130$146.0 million. In addition, the Company’s use of cash from operations amounted to $9.1$13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022, and $7.8$12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations principally from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of notes payable, product and service contracts and license arrangements.

See Note 56 for additional information with respect to the 2020 Secured Notes.

In April 2020, the Company received $0.9 million in proceeds through a loan funded under the Paycheck Protection Program as part of the CARES Act (the “PPP Loan”). In November 2020, the Company was notified by the U.S. Small Business Administration that the loan had been forgiven under the provision of the CARES Act.

As discussed in Note 7,8, on February 23, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 2,127,660 shares of its common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $46.8$46.8 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

Based on the foregoing, in management’s opinion, cash and cash equivalent balances at September 30, 2021, are sufficient to support the Company’s operations and meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s December 31, 20202021 audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth therein. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with SEC rules for interim financial information, and, therefore, omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present such statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 20202021 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20202021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is comprised primarily of: (1) product revenue resulting from the sale of functional neurosurgery, navigation, therapy, and biologics and drug delivery disposable products; (2) product revenue resulting from the sale of ClearPoint capital equipment and software; (3) revenue resulting from the service, installation, training and shipping related to ClearPoint capital equipment and software; and (4) consultation revenue and clinical case support revenue in connection with customer-sponsored clinical trials. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the Company’s products and services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products and services, in a process that involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. When a contract calls for the satisfaction of multiple performance obligations for a single contract price, the Company allocates the contract price among the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone prices for each such performance obligation customarily charged by the Company. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control.

Lines of Business; Timing of Revenue Recognition

·Functional neurosurgery navigation product, biologics and drug delivery systems product, and therapy product sales: Revenue from the sale of functional neurosurgery navigation products (consisting of disposable products sold commercially and related to cases utilizing the Company’s ClearPoint system), biologics and drug delivery systems (consisting primarily of disposable products related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing the ClearPoint system), and therapy products (consisting primarily of disposable laser-related products used in non-neurosurgical procedures), is generally based on customer purchase orders, the predominance of which require delivery within one week of the order having been placed, and are recognized at the point in time of delivery to the customer, which is the point at which legal title, and risks and rewards of ownership, along with physical possession, transfer to the customer.

·Capital equipment and software sales

oCapital equipment and software sales preceded by evaluation periods: The predominance of capital equipment and software sales (consisting of integrated computer hardware and software that are integral components of the Company’s ClearPoint system) are preceded by customer evaluation periods.

The Company computes net loss per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same because the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, which comprise the entire amount of the Company’s outstanding common stock options and warrants, as described in Note 7,8, and the potential conversion of the First and Second Closing Notes,Note, as described in Note 5,6, would be anti-dilutive, due to the reporting of a net loss for each of the periods in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration Risks and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Accounts Receivable

Customer

Sales

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company may at times invest its excess cash in interest bearing accounts and U.S. Treasury Bills. It classifies all highly liquid investments with original stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months as short term investments. The Company classifies the U.S. Treasury Bills as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320, "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities." Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity and are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, adjusted for the accretion of discounts using the interest method.
The Company holds substantially allthe remainder of its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the U.S. insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had approximately $52$9.9 million in bank balances that were in excess of the insured limits.

At September 30, 2021,2022, there were notwo customers whose accounts receivable balance exceeded 10%balances represented 16% and 15% of accounts receivable at that date. At December 31, 2020,2021, one customer accounted for 11%15% of accounts receivable at that date.

One pharmaceutical customer, a related party as discussedwho is a stockholder, a noteholder, and who has a representative on the Company's Board of Directors (see Note 6), for whom the Company provides hardware, software, clinical services and market development services in Note 3,support of the customer's clinical trials, and from whom the Company earns a quarterly fee, accounted for 18%14% and 15%18% of total sales in the three-month periods ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively, and for 19%16% and 18%19% of total sales in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Prior to granting credit, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, and generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company will provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when collections become doubtful. The allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 was $0.2$0.2 million and $0.06$0.3 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to risks common to emerging companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to: new technological innovations; acceptance and competitiveness of its products; dependence on key personnel; dependence on key suppliers; dependence on third-party collaboration, license and joint development partners; changes in general economic conditions and interest rates; protection of proprietary technology; compliance with changing government regulations; uncertainty of widespread market acceptance of products; access to credit for capital purchases by customers; and product liability claims. Certain components used in manufacturing have relatively few alternative sources of supply and establishing additional or replacement suppliers for such components cannot be accomplished quickly. The inability of any of these suppliers to fulfill the Company’s supply requirements may negatively impact future operating results.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted, on a modified retrospective method of transition, the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) – Accounting for Convertible

ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.

(Unaudited)
Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (the “ASU”). The ASU is effective for public companies, other than smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for smaller reporting companies, which is the Company’s current classification, for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023. However, the ASU permits early adoption no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2020, and the Company elected such early adoption. The ASU amends prior authoritative literature to reduce the number of accounting models for, among others, convertible debt instruments for which the embedded conversion features of such instruments had previously been required to be separated from the host contract. The Company determined that the conversion feature embedded in the Second Closing Note (see Note 5)6) was within the scope of the ASU. Accordingly, the discount originally recorded in connection with the issuance of the Second Closing Note and a corresponding amount recorded in additional paid-in capital, each in the amount of approximately $3.1$3.1 million at the date of issuance of the Second Closing Note, were reversed as of the date of adoption of the ASU.

Unbilled Revenues

Commencing in 2019, the Company was a party to a Letter of Intent and a related Statement of Work (together with the Letter of Intent, the “Project Documents”) with a customer who is a stockholder and a noteholder (see Note 5), and an officer of whom is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, to commence a product development project. Under the terms of the Project Documents, the Company was entitled to bill the customer for: (a) an upfront, nonrefundable payment of $0.5 million, which was received in 2019; and (b) quarterly service fees of $0.5 million. In February 2020, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement and a Statement of Work (the “European SOW”) with a European affiliate of the customer. Under the terms of the European SOW, the Company was entitled to bill the customer on a quarterly basis, commencing in the first quarter of 2020, for service fees of $0.25 million. During 2020, the clinical trials contemplated by the Project Documents and the European SOW were delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company agreed to reduce such quarterly service fees by an aggregate of $0.25 million through September 30, 2020. In November 2020, the Company entered into an addendum to the Project Documents and the European SOW that, among other provisions, set the aggregate service fee to be billed to the customer at $0.7 million per quarter, effective October 1, 2020. The Company recognized as revenue the upfront payment described in this paragraph ratably over the initial two years of the term of the Project Documents, corresponding to the estimated period in which the related performance obligations were expected to be satisfied, and recognizes as revenue the quarterly service fees described in this paragraph as stand-by services beginning in the quarter such services commenced. Based on the foregoing: (a) the Company recognized revenue of approximately $0.7 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively; (b) accounts receivable from the customer amounted to approximately $0.1 million at each of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020; and (c) the aggregate amount of all the payments described in this paragraph that were included in deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were nil and approximately $0.1 million, respectively.

The Company offers an upgraded version of its software at no additional charge to customers purchasing a three-year systems service agreement. The transaction prices of the software and the service agreement are determined through an allocation of the service agreement price based on the standalone prices of the software and the service agreements customarily charged by the Company. The transaction price of the software is recognized as revenue upon its installation and comprised less than $0.1 million of unbilled receivable at September 30, 2021 and $0.1 million at December 31, 2020.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company’s contracts with customers for functional neurosurgery and therapy product sales are predominantly of terms less than one year. Accordingly, the transaction prices of remaining performance obligations related to such contracts at September 30, 2021 are not material.

You should review the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing in our 20202021 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1.A of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements described in the following discussion and analysis. In addition, historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.

Overview

We are a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and commercializes innovative platforms for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures in the brain under direct, intra-proceduralbrain. We have deployed significant resources to fund our efforts to develop the foundational capabilities for enabling MRI-guided interventions, building an intellectual property portfolio, and identifying and building out commercial applications for the technologies developed by our company. Beginning in 2021, our efforts have expanded beyond the MRI guidance. Our principal product platformsuite to encompass development and commercialization of new neurosurgical device products for the operating room, as well as consulting services for pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations.
Since 2020, we have evolved to become a company comprised of two parts. The first foundational part is a medical device company providing medical devices for neurosurgery applications. The second part is focused on collaborating with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations to develop delivery methodologies for neurological drugs. Currently, there are approximately 50 such entities who are either evaluating or using our SmartFlow cannula and, in certain cases, in conjunction with our full ClearPoint system, which is in commercial use and is used to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures in the brain. The ClearPoint system utilizes intra-procedural MRI to guide the procedures and is designed to work in a hospital’s existing MRI suite. We believe that this product platform delivers better patient outcomes, enhances revenue potential for both physicians and hospitals, and reduces costs to the healthcare system.

In 2010, we received regulatory clearance from the FDA to market our ClearPoint system in the U.S. for general neurosurgery procedures. In 2011, we also obtained CE marking approval for our ClearPoint system, which enables us to sell our ClearPoint system in the European Union. Neuro Navigation platform.

Substantially all our product revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 relates to sales of our ClearPoint system products and related services. We have financed our operations and internal growth primarily through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible and other secured notes, and license arrangements.notes. We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1998 as we have devoted substantial efforts to research and development. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had accumulated losses of approximately $130$146.0 million. We may continue to incur operating losses as we expand our ClearPoint system platform and our business generally.

Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations

The following is a description of factors that may influence our future results of operations, and that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.

COVID-19

In March 2020,

Macroeconomic Trends
We continue to monitor the World Health Organization characterized the spreadimpact of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)various macroeconomic trends, such as a global pandemic,economic and supply chain disruptions, geopolitical instability, labor shortages and inflationary conditions, and the Presidentcontinuing impacts of the United States later proclaimed that the COVID-19 outbreakpandemic. Changes in the United States constituted a national emergency. Extraordinary actions were taken by federal, statedomestic and local governmental authorities to combat the spread of COVID-19, including issuances of “stay-at-home” directives and similar mandates that substantially restricted daily activities and for many businesses curtailed or ceased normal operations. These measures led to reducedglobal economic activity, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgical procedures, which historically have represented approximately 80% of the number of surgical procedures using the Company’s ClearPoint system. Although economic activity is returning to a normalized level, the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to spread in the United States and across the globe. The ultimate impact of the Delta variant, and other new strains that may develop, cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the Delta and other variants and the response by governmental bodies and regulators, which could include vaccine mandates.

Furthermore, globalconditions, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, as well as other stimulus and spending programs, have led to higher inflation, which is likely to lead to increased costs and may cause changes in fiscal and monetary policy. Impacts from inflationary pressures, such an increasing costs for research and development of our products, administrative and other costs of doing business, and our availability to access capital markets and other sources of funding in the future could adversely affect our abilitybusiness, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, these trends could adversely affect our customers, which could impact their willingness to retainspend on our products and attract new talent, and inflationary conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.services. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludethese situations precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19they will have on the Company’sour business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments directly or indirectly relating to the duration and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States and globally.

Revenue

Key Performance Indicators

The key performance indicators we utilize on a tactical basis are integrated into our longer-term strategic plan within the following categories:

·Functional neurosurgery navigation

oCase volume – Underlying the revenue from sales of our functional neurosurgery navigation products reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report are the procedures, or cases, performed in hospitals or at customer-sponsored contract research organizations utilizing one or more of our products or our clinical services. Case volume data is not influenced by variations in pricing or quantities of product used on a per case basis, and thus provide a more reliable indicator of the growth of our functional neurosurgery navigation line of business. Management analyzes case volume by hospital and by type of procedure to gain information that informs targeted sales and marketing activities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the ClearPoint system was used in 227 and 690 cases, respectively, as compared to 200 and 507 cases during the same respective periods in 2020, representing increases of 14% for the comparative three-month periods and 36% for the comparative nine-month periods. Consistent with the discussion in the section “Results of Operations – Revenues,” we attribute these increases primarily to the reduced levels of elective neurosurgical procedures resulting from the initial onset and progression of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three-month and nine-month periods in 2020.

oNumber of “Active Surgery Centers” – For purposes of analyzing this performance indicator, an Active Surgery Center is a hospital or customer-sponsored contract research organization that has purchased products from us or has performed procedures utilizing our ClearPoint system within a rolling 24-month period, and includes hospital sites having purchased the ClearPoint system, as well as sites in which the ClearPoint system is being used on an evaluation basis. The justification for including “evaluation sites” is that our disposable neurosurgery product is sold to such hospitals for their use in cases. In addition to signifying growth, the number of Active Surgery Centers, when analyzed in conjunction with case volume data, further informs targeted sales and marketing activities and confirms where these activities have led to increased penetration of our product lines. As of September 30, 2021, the ClearPoint system was used in approximately 60 Active Surgery Centers, which is comparable to the number of such centers as of the same date in 2020.

·Biologics and drug delivery

oNumber of “Partners” – Underlying the revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is the number of customers, or “Partners.” Our Partners consist of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or customer-sponsored contract research organizations that are developing methods to deliver a wide variety of molecules, genes or proteins to targeted brain tissue or structures that would need to bypass the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of a variety of disorders. This is a novel area in which commercialization must be preceded by FDA-mandated clinical trials, which are expensive and time consuming to conduct, and for which the commercial success is uncertain, pending, in part, the outcome of those trials. While our revenue from sales of products and services to these Partners in support of their clinical trials is indicative of growth, the number of such relationships is also of importance as we recognize the possibility that some Partners’ research will reach commercial success, and others may not. To the extent our Partners achieve commercial success, our expectation is that we will share in such success through our Partners’ use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies. At September 30, 2021, we had commercial relationships with approximately 40 Partners, as compared with approximately 25 Partners as of the same date in 2020.

·Therapy products – We do not expect meaningful revenue from therapy products in 2021 insofar as we are targeting a limited market release of such products in 2022. As a result, our milestones in the therapy space are focused on refining the product and obtaining regulatory clearance. Should we be successful in achieving these milestones, we believe our initial performance indicators will focus on case volume and number of Active Surgery Centers, as are currently used in measuring our performance in functional neurosurgery navigation.

·Global scale and efficiency – We have been cautious in setting our goals for operations beyond the U.S. so as to conserve our resources and not establish a foreign presence in advance of being assured of a corresponding revenue stream. In late 2020 we took the first steps in leveraging the CE Marks we have for our ClearPoint system and SmartFlow cannula by establishing an initial presence in Europe for product sales and clinical advisory services. From this initial presence, we believe that future global key performance indicators will be similar to those described above for our U.S. business: case volume, number of Active Surgery Centers and number of biologics and drug delivery Partners.

Revenue

In 2010, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market our ClearPoint system in the U.S. for general neurosurgery procedures; in February 2011 and May 2018, we also obtained CE marketing approvalmarking for our ClearPoint system and SmartFlow

19


cannula, respectively; and in June 2020 we obtained CE marking approval for version 2.0 of our ClearPoint software and our Inflexion head fixation frame. In January 2021, we received 510(k) clearance for the SmartFrame Array Neuro Navigation System. In September 2022 the ClearPoint Prism™ Neuro Laser Therapy System, for which we have exclusive global right to commercialize, received 510(k) clearance through our Swedish partner Clinical Laserthermia Systems (“ CLS”). The Prism laser represents the first therapy product we will commercialize. Future revenue from sales of our ClearPoint platform products and services is difficult to predict and may not be sufficient to offset our continuing research and development expenses and our increasing selling, general and administrative expenses.

Generating recurring revenue from the sale of products is an important part of our business model for our ClearPoint system. Our product revenue was approximately $3.3$3.1 million and $8.9$9.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, respectively, and was almost entirely related to our ClearPoint system. Our service revenue was approximately $1.2$2.0 million and $3.2$5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

2022, respectively, of which 72% and 70%, respectively, related to the biologics and drug delivery service line.

Our revenue recognition policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included above in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Underlying the revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is the number of direct customers and end users of our products and/or services (“Partners”). Our Partners consist of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or customer-sponsored contract research organizations that are developing methods to deliver a wide variety of molecules, genes or proteins to targeted brain tissue or structures that would need to bypass the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of a variety of disorders. This is a novel area in which commercialization must be preceded by FDA-mandated clinical trials, which are expensive and time consuming to conduct, and for which the commercial success is uncertain, pending, in part, the outcome of those trials. While our revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is indicative of growth, the number of Partner relationships is also of importance as we recognize the possibility that some Partners’ research will reach commercial success, and others may not. To the extent our Partners achieve commercial success, our expectation is that we will share in such success through our Partners’ use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies. At September 30, 2022, we had approximately 50 Partners, as compared with approximately 40 Partners as of the same date in 2021.
Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the direct costs associated with the assembly and purchase of components for functional neurosurgery navigation products, biologics and drug delivery products, non-neurosurgery therapy products, and ClearPoint capital equipment and software which we have sold, and for which we have recognized the revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.policy, as well as labor hours for the cost of providing consulting and service revenue. Cost of revenue also includes the allocation of manufacturing overhead costs and depreciation of loaned systems installed under our ClearPoint placement program, as well as provisions for obsolete, impaired, or excess inventory.

Research and Development Costs

Our research and development costs consist primarily of costs associated with the conceptualization, design, testing, and prototyping of our ClearPoint system products and enhancements. Such costs include salaries, travel, and benefits for research and development personnel; materials and laboratory supplies in research and development activities; outside consultant costs; and licensing costs related to technology not yet commercialized. We anticipate that, over time, our research and development costs may increase as we: (i) continue to develop enhancements to our ClearPoint system and software;SmartFlow cannula; and (ii) seek to expand the application of our technological platforms. From our inception through September 30, 2021,2022, we have incurred approximately $66$77 million in research and development expenses.

Product development timelines, likelihood of success, and total costs can vary widely by product candidate. There are also risks inherent in the regulatory clearance and approval process. At this time, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs that we will incur in our efforts to expand the application of our technological platforms.

Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative Expenses

Our sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive-based compensation, travel and benefits, including related share-based compensation; marketing costs; professional fees, including fees foror outside attorneys and accountants; occupancy costs; insurance; and other general and administrative expenses, which
20


include, but are not limited to, corporate licenses, director fees, hiring costs, taxes, postage, office supplies, information technology and meeting costs. Our sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase due to costs associated with the continued commercialization of our ClearPoint system and the increased headcount necessary to support growth in operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

and Estimates

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three or nine months ended September 30, 20212022, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 17%12% to $2.2$2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, from $1.8$2.2 million for the same period in 2020.2021. This increase reflects the increase in functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy$0.4 million of service revenue and the resumption in the three months ended September 30, 2021, of elective surgical procedures, which were postponed or cancelledrelated to development services during the three months ended September 30, 2020, due2022, compared to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the contribution of$0.2 million service revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Although elective surgeries have resumed, we are unable to determine the extent to which such factors as the timing, adoption or viability of such resumption will impact our revenue due to the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic and our inability to determine the length of time that the COVID-19 pandemic will adversely affect our product revenue. There were no increases in functional neurosurgery product prices during the period between the three months ended September 30, 2021 andfor the same period in 2020 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.

2021.

Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 39%9% to $2.1$2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, from $1.5$2.1 million for the same period in 2020.2021. This increase was dueis attributable to ana $0.5 million increase during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, relativein service revenue related to the same period in 2020, in biologicnew and drug delivery product revenue of $0.7 million as we increased the number of biologiccontinued partnerships with pharmaceutical and drug delivery partnersbiotech companies, academic institutions, and as pre-clinicalcontract research and clinical trial investments by our biologics and drug delivery customers resume. This increase notwithstanding, our biologic and drug delivery customers are reestablishing their estimated timelines for initiation or resumption of their clinical trials, however, these timelines have not been finalized, given the uncertainties of when hospitals will be able to resume such clinical trial cases. Accordingly, depending on the length of the COVID-19 pandemic, future biologics and drug delivery revenue could be adversely impacted. There were no increases in biologics and drug delivery product pricesorganizations during the period between the three months ended September 30, 2021 and2022, compared to the same period in 2020 that would be reasonably expected to affect2021, partially offset by a typical customer order.

$0.3 million decrease in product revenue.

Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software and of related services, increased 78%32% to $0.4$0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, from $0.2$0.4 million for the same period in 2020.2021 due primarily to an increase in the placements of ClearPoint capital and software.
Cost of Revenue from this product line historically has varied from quarter to quarter, and overall, we believe that hospitals’ capital equipment acquisition activities remain at a low level, relative to the acquisition activity prior to the onsetGross Profit. Cost of revenue was $1.4 million, resulting in 2020gross profit of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no increases in capital equipment product prices during the period between$3.7 million and gross margin of 72%, for the three months ended September 30, 20212022, and the same period in 2020 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. Cost of revenue was $1.5 million, resulting in gross profit of $3.1$3.0 million and representing a gross margin of 68%66%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and was $0.9 million, resulting in gross profit of $2.6 million and representing a gross margin of 74%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.8$2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $1.5$1.8 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of $0.3 million, or 22%18%. This increase was due primarily to increases inadditional personnel costs resulting from increases in headcount of $0.2 million, as well as increases in travel expenses, and marketing activities, each such increase amounting tocosts of $0.1 million.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2.4$2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $1.3$2.4 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of $1.2$0.5 million, or 95%20%. This increase was due primarily to increases in personnel costs of $0.3 million,increased share-based compensation of $0.3 million, and $0.5 million attributed to rent, insurance costs, the allowance for doubtful accounts, IT expenses, and professional and consulting fees, each representing an increase of approximately $0.1 million.

Interest Expense. Net interest expenseincome for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 20202022 was $0.03 million, compared to $0.2 million due primarily to annet interest expense for the same period in 2021. The increase in interest expense arising from issuanceincome was due to the Company's investment in December 2020 ofU.S. Treasury Bills and the Second Closing Note, which was partially offset by a decrease inresulting higher interest expenserates, as well as lower debt principal due to the conversion of onea portion of the First Closing Notes.2020 Secured Convertible Notes in May and November 2021.

Accordingly, depending on the length of the COVID-19 pandemic, future biologics and drug delivery revenue could be adversely impacted. There were no increases in biologics and drug delivery product prices during the period between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the same period in 2020 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.

Revenue from this product line historically has varied from quarter2021, due primarily to quarter,an increase in the placement of ClearPoint capital and overall, we believe that hospitals’ capital equipment acquisition activities remain at a low level, relative to the acquisition activity prior to the onset in 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs were $6.3$7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $2.8$6.2 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of $3.5$1.1 million, or 125%17%. The increase was due primarily to increases in personnel costs of $1.6$0.4 million due to growth in headcount, and product and software development of $1.8$0.4 million, both increases resulting from our efforts to expand the applications of our technological platforms.

Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $5.1$6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $3.9$5.1 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of $1.2$1.1 million, or 30%22%. This increase was due primarily to increases inadditional personnel costs of $0.6 million resulting from increases in headcount in our clinical and marketing teams, travel expenses of $0.2$0.6 million, due to increased activity, and marketing activities of $0.2 million, and travel related costs of $0.2 million.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $6.1$8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $3.7$6.1 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of $2.3$2.6 million, or 62%42%.

Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 was $0.8$0.2 million, compared to $1.2$0.8 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease in2021, due to lower interest expense is primarily due to the repaymentas a result of the 2010 Secured Notes in the first quarter of 2020 and the conversion of onea portion of the First Closing2020 Secured Convertible Notes in the second quarter ofMay and November 2021. The reduction in interest expense was partially offset by the additional interest expense arising from the issuance in December 2020 of the Second Closing Note. Additional information with respect to the First and Second ClosingSecured Notes is in Note 56 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhereabove in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Interest expense was partially offset by higher interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of increasing interest rates and the Company's investment in U.S. Treasury Bills.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred net losses since our inception, which has resulted in a cumulative deficit at September 30, 20212022 of approximately $130$146.0 million. In addition, our use of cash from operations amounted to $9.1$13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022, and $7.8$12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. Since inception, we have financed our operations principally from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of notes payable, product and service contracts and license arrangements.

payable.

In January 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with two investors (each, a "2020 Convertible Noteholder," and together, the SPA with the 2020"2020 Convertible NoteholdersNoteholders") under which we issued the Firstfirst term notes (the "First Closing NotesNotes") having an aggregate principal amount of $17.5 million, resulting in proceeds, net of financing costs and a commitment fee paid to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders, of approximately $16.8 million. From the net proceeds received from the issuance of the First Closing Notes, which have a five-year term, we repaid and retired the 2010 Secured Notes that otherwise would have matured in October and November 2020.

The SPA also gave us the right, but not the obligation, to request one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders to purchase an additional $5.0 million in principal amount of a note (the "Second Closing Note," and together with the SecondFirst Closing Note.Notes, the "2020 Secured Notes"). On December 29, 2020, under the terms of the Amendmentan amendment to the SPA which, among other provisions, increased the principal amount of the Second Closing Note, we issued the Second Closing Note to one of the 2020 Convertible NoteholderNoteholders in the principal amount of $7.5 million.

See Note 56 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included above in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report for additional information with respect to the 2020 Secured Notes.

In April 2020, we received $0.9 million in proceeds under the terms of the PPP Loan. In November 2020, we were notified by the U.S. Small Business Administration that the loan had been forgiven under the provisions of the CARES Act.

As discussed in Note 7,8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included above in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report, on February 23, 2021, we completed a public offering of 2,127,660 shares of our common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $46.8 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Based

As a result of these transactions and our business operations, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $40.5 million at September 30, 2022. In management’s opinion, based on the foregoing, in management’s opinion,our current forecasts for revenue, expense and cash flows, our existing cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments at September 30, 2021,2022, are sufficient to support our operations and meet our obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

To date, we have not achieved profitability. We could continue to incur net losses as we continue our efforts to expand the commercialization of our ClearPoint system products and pursue additional applications for our technology platforms. Our cash balances are primarily held in a variety of demand accounts with a view to liquidity and capital preservation.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of medical devices, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to successfully continue to commercialize our ClearPoint system products and pursue additional applications for our
25


technology platforms. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

the ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
the timing of broader market acceptance and adoption of our ClearPoint system products;
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our ongoing product development activities relating to our ClearPoint system;
the cost and timing of expanding our sales, clinical support, marketing and distribution capabilities, and other corporate infrastructure;
the cost and timing of establishing inventories at levels sufficient to support our sales;
the effect of competing technological and market developments;
the ultimate duration and impact of macroeconomic trends, including the COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions;
the timing of broader market acceptance and adoption of our products;
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our ongoing product development activities relating to our products;
the ability of our Partners to achieve commercial success, including their use of our products and services in their clinical trials and delivery of therapies;
the cost and timing of expanding our sales, clinical support, marketing and distribution capabilities, and other corporate infrastructure;
the cost and timing of establishing inventories at levels sufficient to support our sales;
the effect of competing technological and market developments;
the cost of pursuing additional applications of our technology platforms under current collaborative arrangements, and the terms and timing of any future collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish;
the cost and timing of any clinical trials;
the cost and timing of regulatory filings, clearances and approvals; and
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to interest income and expense sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates.

Our investments are in short-term bank deposits, three to twelve month U.S. Treasury Bills, and institutional money market funds. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing income we receive without significantly increasing risk. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we believe that we are not subject to any material market risk exposure.

At September 30, 2021,2022, we had $10.0$10 million of principal outstanding under thea First Closing Note, which is subject to interest rate fluctuations. AThe outstanding First Closing Note bears interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the three (3)-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and (b) two percent (2%), plus (ii) a margin of 2% on the outstanding balance of the First Closing Note. At September 30, 2022, the three-month LIBOR was greater than the 2% floor as a result of rising interest rates, and the rate paid on the outstanding First Closing Note was 5.6%. If the LIBOR continues to increase, a one-percent to two-percent increase in one-month LIBOR would result in no net increase inadditional annual interest expense on an annualized basis dueof $0.3 million to the fact that the First Closing Note is subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.00% and one-month LIBOR was below$0.4 million above the floor, as of September 30, 2021.respectively. Information with respect to the outstanding First Closing Note may be found in Note 56 to the condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhereabove in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.

Foreign Currency Risk

To date, we have not recorded a significant amount of sales in currencies other than U.S. dollars, and have only limited business transactions in foreign currencies. We do not currently engage in hedging or similar transactions to reduce our foreign currency risks, which at present, are not material. We believe we have no material exposure to risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates at this time. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our internal processes relating to foreign currency exchange, including the potential use of hedging strategies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within our organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 20212022 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.

2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021,2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

10-K, except as set forth below.

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected by the current and future social and geopolitical instability and domestic and foreign economic instability.
We are exposed to the risk of changes in social, geopolitical, legal, and economic conditions. The global economy has been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The negative impacts arising from the conflict and sanctions and export restrictions imposed by various countries, including those imposed by Russia, may include reduced consumer demand, supply chain disruptions, increased cybersecurity risks, and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw materials. Although none of our operations are in Russia or Ukraine, further escalation of geopolitical tensions could have a broader impact that expands into other markets where we do business, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, changes in domestic and global economic conditions, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, as well as other stimulus and spending programs, have led to higher inflation, which is likely to lead to increased costs and may cause changes in fiscal and monetary policy. Additionally, our ability to access capital markets and other funding sources in the future may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Impacts from inflationary pressures, such an increasing costs for research and development of our products, administrative and other costs of doing business, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, our customers could experience financial and operational pressures as a result of labor shortages, the supply chain disruptions, and increased inflation, which could impact their ability to access capital markets and other funding sources, increase cost of funding, or impede their ability to comply with debt covenants, which in turn could impede their ability to provide patient care, conduct further research and development, marketing and commercialization efforts, or impact their profitability. To the extent that our customers continue to face such financial pressures, it could impact their willingness to spend on our products and services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
